"I almost stopped you and told you to get off the road yesterday." What? Why? "You were out running. Police cars just flying by you. Lights on. Sirens blaring.

A New Home
Slept for ten hours last night. I did wake up around midnight. Mostly because my body is used to waking up around midnight. Because that’s when people break up. But last night.

The worst part of living beneath what I assume is a drug dealer. Is that he is home just always. Just always home. This mother fucker never leaves the damn apartment.
