Sugarcoated Prison

Sugarcoated Prison

Row C-3. Third slot from the left.

The compressor kicks on. Twelve minutes. Always twelve minutes. My aluminum skin contracts another fraction of a millimeter. The Coca-Cola script across my middle has started flaking where the refrigeration coils kiss closest. Oxidation in real time.

Through the glass: water stains mapping continents on ceiling tiles. A microwave's digital display frozen at 12:00.

Quotes by Cristian Mihai  (?)

“All we are doing are self-portraits. As simple that. We accumulate knowledge and wisdom and power, and we get our hearts broken, and we write. We write for others to absorb what took us so long to understand.”
Cristian Mihai

“We are born and then we die. And in between lies only this strange darkness that we can’t break.”
Mihai Cristian, La Tiers Du Cylindre
tags: death

“Love at first sight is not complicated. In our dreams we build a woman, we give her life from our own life, and then we have to wait. Through trial and error we try to find that nameless ghost that’s haunting our most lonely of nights. And I felt as if I had found what I was looking for. Finally, my ghost had a name and a face.”
Cristian Mihai, Jazz
tags: love

“A loveless existence is like a coma of the soul, where all colors blend into an uninteresting beige. Your compass spins aimlessly, your map is a doodle of confusion. You're lost and the breadcrumbs have all been eaten.”
Cristian Mihai, 2:22 AM

“The air will always be to filled with something. Your body too sore or tired. Your father too drunk. Your wife too cold. You will always have some excuse not to live your life.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Haunted

“You get a glass tank, put it where the TV used to be, and all you get is a lizard—something so
stupid that every time the maid moves a rock the lizard thinks it’s been relocated miles away.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Haunted

“I write one page of masterpiece to ninety-one pages of shit. I try to put the shit in the wastebasket.”
Ernest Hemingway

“Bless the Maker and His water.
Bless the coming and going of Him.
May His passage cleanse the world.
May He keep the world for His people. ”
Frank Herbert
