I’m not that good a chess player. It takes repeated whacks with the clue bat before I start to follow the trail. I’m also still quite naive as fuck and often don’t remember the universal law of dealing with sentients. “Everyone is hiding something.”

Up too damn early for a Saturday. Went back to bed to steal a moment more of sleep. I’m walking around a crowded place. So many people. Whispers and murmurs fill the spaces in between. Bright colors clash against the smothering grey of enveloping shadows. Everyone is adorned for Los Dios De Los Muertos. Including…

I went back. He was waiting, along with the piece of me I left behind. Things didn’t go as I expected them to. Things went as they were supposed to. I hear thunder in the distance. It reminds me of deep chuckling. It reminds me there is always a time to laugh.

Ah. Home. I don’t have any work to do tonight, so the briefcase can sit by the door. It’s good to be home. The click of the self-locking door behind me is so comforting. So why am I not at ease? And why is everything in shades of sepia when I know the decor is…

Dream Journal: Wrong Rules
One hand for the dealer. One hand for the host. One hand for the table. One hand for me. Five cards the dealer laid. Five cards the host kept. Five cards the table hid. Five cards for me. One hand busted the dealer. One hand disappointed the host. One hand flowed on the table. One…

I just realized… Roger introduced me to the cafe. I had been wandering the City for a while, but never stopped there. Roger had me sit with him. Why do I have the idea that Roger knew about Jill the entire time? And his over the top reaction was a test to gauge mine? Holy…

Errands again. Go here, get this, go there, do that. Done. Stopped by the cafe afterwards for another cup of chili mocha. (I can make this, I’m sure now. The balance of tastes has been the same every time and I know how to duplicate it.) I wondered to Jill how many people know of…
