Despair (27 Jan 2015)
I've been strangled once in my life
"I can't breathe," I gasped
As I was pushed against a door frame
I felt my windpipe start to give out
My eyes squeezed shut
I started to see spots
But she let me go
And didn't apologize
Despair
Is a feeling I know all too well
Sometimes it shrouds you
A thin, ratty blanket in the northeastern cold
Other times it clings to you
Parka jackets in the heat of a concrete jungle

“Um… what do you want?” I queried. “And what’s with the sloppiness?”
“Oh, um… I haven’t slept the last few nights. Been doing a lot of thinking.”
“I see.”
I looked him up and down, took in every detail. His muscle shirt had sweat (or was it grease?) on it, he had a thick 5 o’clock shadow and he had gained a little weight. Not enough to have him lose muscle mass, but enough to soften their appearance a little. The jeans were caked with flour and ripped at the knees. The

Love Isn't Always Fair chapter 10
Raven’s eyes slowly blinked open, her body covered by the thin sheet on top of her. She stretched her arms with a yawn and crawled out, the blanket acting as her cocoon as she walked to Andy’s bathroom.
Did I really sleep with Andy last night?
Flashes of his skin peppered her vision when she closed her eyes and breathed the room in. The sheet fell off of her by the walk-in shower and she walked inside, closing the glass door behind her. She exhaled slowly and started the shower, lathering up with his Axe shower gel and loofah. She smiled softly, the smell acting as a sense of comfort.
Is this how he always smells like that? It&
