so i said

so i said

to her i said

Is this it? Does the story end there?
“No, I am thinking it has the makings of a novel.”


ok, but you already blew your wad

“What do you mean?” she asked.


they had sex on the first meeting
i don’t even know who they are


or why they are attracted to each other

or why i should be attracted to either one

ya gotta build character. depth
create tension. vulnerability

allow wonder

space

gaps

let them go crazy

let them be quiet

make it so when i am done reading

i would fuck either one of them

the moment that we met

"Dude. Aren't you listening?"
