It’s funny, I guess, how we can never find out if this is the last time we are meeting someone. It’s not just funny, it’s something saddening too. You know what else gives you that same ambivalent feeling? Your electricity bill. You’d be surprised, even stuck, by how bad it is, and wonder if it …
2 a.m., and the place is quiet enough for the drop of a pin. The blackest black, the kind no color chart has ever honestly named. A strange place, known to be home for many. A place that changes the human body quite literally from the inside out. The effect, it seems, is felt by …
