The operation needed a good wheelman, someone with a lead foot and a keen sense of direction, just in case anything went wrong, and it was determined that I was as good as any. I had been helping my friend Vic do small-town jobs since we were teenagers and I was too used to it to quit now. Normally, a bank heist in full light of day is the kind of thing that only happens in movies but our point...

I want to tell you how beautiful you are. I want to make your heart swell with the excitement of new passion, with its promise and simple joy. I want to feel your sweet heartbeats and to be humbled knowing they were inspired by me and that I made you smile your lovely smile as warmth filled your cheeks and your breath raced a little in your lungs.

I made my way from the bus stop to the corner of 47th where I was to meet my ride.

She had never been so afraid and he wanted to comfort her but that was impossible at this point. There was to be no comfort, no easy way out, only the difficult task before them and a lifetime together which he could only hope would bring some semblance of...

Kate: or if you even think it matters? (cuz i dont…..but maybe thats the existentialist in me squeeing in joy at a film that i thought made is seem that it doesnt, or at least gets you thinking in the vein)
Me: i think it does matter to the character and to the story but the director wants it to be ambiguous so that...

The sun cracked the eastern sky, signaling the dawn and the start of a new day but it reminded me of endings. The night was over and our time together was coming to a close. My only comfort was knowing there was time enough before my scheduled train departure for a final goodbye. I slid under the sheets and pulled your warm body close to mine, waking you with soft kisses on your neck and...

The man in the gray blazer finished his meal, sat his fork down on his plate and opened a copy of today’s newspaper. He knew he was to remain where he was until the suitcase was delivered, only after the funds were wired into the escrow account. He perused the headlines and scanned the bodies of articles he didn’t care about. His reading of the paper was a mechanical exercise, like...
