They came in and sat at the first empty table they saw. They moved with a shuffle of shopping bags, oversized bracelets, and loose fitting clothes that only women with long brown straight hair in 1970’s beach movies should ever really wear. Still, despite my sense of style and fashion, they sat beside me. [...]
I was leaning against the narrow counter beside the front window of the Gray’s Papaya on the corner of 8th Street and 6th Avenue waiting for it all to begin. I stared across the street at that old library building that I used to think Doctor Strange lived in when I was a [...]
I awoke today without an alarm, but instead a strange humming noise that went through the bedroom shaking ripples into the water glass beside the bed. I thought that it was strange that the glass was still full since Ghost Cat has developed a tendency as of late to put her paws in [...]
I light a cigarette and inhale deeply when something that Vic Spero once said about Marlon Brando pops in my head. It was something about how everyone wanted to be Brando when he was a younger man. With slicked black hair, blue jeans, and a leather jacket. The kind of spirit that only [...]
I smell her perfume before I see her. It’s a mix of Jasmine and chemical compounds put together in a laboratory, that was tested on monkeys to see if their skin would bubble or burn, then passed through ten months of focus groups who debated the name, font, bottle shape, and best ad [...]
It’s a warm night, warmer than a New York winter should be, which tends to bring images of shattered glaciers and polar bears swimming through miles of ocean to my mind. I’m in a light jacket with my tie flapping behind me trying my best to turn the twenty-minute bike trip I’m taking into [...]
“So, is that it?” I ask the dark. “Yes,” she answers. I stare ahead for an unknown amount of time. True to form I begin thinking of a way out. A con. A barter. Anything. Because I always want more. “It was faster than I thought it would be,” I say out loud. There’s [...]
I couldn’t focus. All I could see was the shape of her hips underneath that fitted white coat. If you saw her in it, you’d think of Italy, or an animal in its prime, or that scent of richness that mad women tend to have. But, she didn’t seem mad to me. Then again, [...]
I saw stars. That black echo of dull feeling that comes from a good hit to the head had its grip on me. Still though, I immediately spun around with a fast right hook to see Rob move aside like slow lighting as his hand grabbed tight around my wrist. He smiled and then [...]
I don’t know why I was at that party. It was 1940 and I had cut off my remaining rock-n-roll locks for a second SAG waiver. Then, Leonardo DiCaprio walked past me. We never made the final cut. I had just left an uptown project. I’m sure that I didn’t live there, but I [...]
I can’t sleep, so I walk through the house to the kitchen and stare out the back window towards Manhattan. The moon’s supposed to be out, but instead clouds line the sky like a fine grey powder as the wind comes from the west. My hand finds my forehead and begins to scratch at [...]
“I’m very old fashioned for a bisexual polyamorous girl,” she said as I lit a cigarette, which was an odd thing to do since I don’t smoke. “Well that’s very interesting, but I’m afraid that we’re out of time. I have another appointment down the block at three.” Her smile dropped some of its [...]
It was like…
