Unspoken
Choking on words unspoken, they stood there in a staring contest. Not a childish one. No. One that only comes from having met a familiar stranger. The kind that makes you feel safe in the danger they bring to your life. You don’t remember who they are. Or rather, who they were. But you know their familiarity as soon as they’re near. Something all too clearly queer.

Cookie
It was his favourite part of Friday afternoon. In the station, he could sit in peace and wait for the train that would take him away from his idiot boss, annoying coworkers, and the other problems he had with commuting into the city to earn a living. He could make it to the Wednesday – the beloved Hump Day – without wanting to punch out anyone in his office (paperwork kept him at his desk, but they knew where it was, or where he would sneak off to when he thought that they did not need him around to be annoyed with extra work).

The Existential Woman
Being back at her brother's house did not make Shanna happy. He'd inherited the house over two years ago, and for all the money he'd spent on this and that the house still looked awful. Sure there had been some improvements, but none that the neighborhood would notice. The fence in the backyard hidden to any walking by. The new refrigerator, stove, washer, dryer, would not be considered cosmetic improvements. The watered, raked, and mowed grass would only be considered basic maintenance. Shanna's paintings or decorations would only be considered "silly" or "temporary", not substantial or valuable. So when Shanna sat around his house while he was at work day to day, she tried to blind herself to these details.
