Still holding my hands, she looked closely at my palms. She ran her thumb past one of the lines. Concerned, she began to say something, but then scanned my face and stopped herself. Instead, she decided to say something else:

“You have small hands.”

“Not really.”

“Yeah, you do.”

Her own hands felt petite and slightly calloused, and some of her nails were glittered with little diamond-looking things. She smelt like some rosy perfume I once smelt on some woman I met at some New Year ho...

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? How have you been?

I haven’t written in a while, so forgive me if I sound like I’m warming up. Because I am.

Nothing much has changed with me. In fact, nothing has changed at all.

I’m still as ungrateful about my life as ever. 

But you wouldn’t understand. How could you? My heartaches are much greater than yours.

I should’ve been a famous writer by now. 

I should’ve been doing book readings all over the world, reading life-changing prose in front o...

You can’t trust a woman named Angela.

Name anyone you’ve met named Angela who actually behaves like an angel.

Remember those times when we were younger, when you’re still all innocent about love so when you have crushes on someone, you crush hard?

Angela was my crush.

“Don’t burn that!” I said, snatching the bill from him and immediately placing it in my pocket. “You burning any more of these?”

“Gimme that back,” he said.

“No.”

The old man, who was normally gentle and a little timid, rushed towards me and grabbed my shoulder. “Give it back to me you little shit!”

“Fine.” I’d barely pulled out the five dollars from my pocket when he sn...

This is a story about a story. Which is incidentally about another story.

It’s a story about me telling you, the reader, about a story a dear friend told me.

“Dear friend,” my dear friend told me. “Listen to this story.”

“Fine,” I said, pretending to be interested. “Tell me this story.”

“It’s a story a dear friend told me once,” my dear friend said.

“I’m not your only dear friend?”

“I have plenty of dear friends. Anyway this story I want to tell you is actually a story my dear ...

“You scared?” she asked.

“Scared of what?”

“You know,” she said, “being this close.”

“Why, because of the virus?”

“Yes, because of the virus.”

“A little bit.”

Christie had just had her fingernails done up and we had been huddling in my car. The sun was — where was the sun? We didn’t know, we couldn’t see it, but there was light coming from a distance, and she used whatever light there was available to look at her nails. I hadn’t seen her in two months. I’d been overseas, and th...
