Genres: Fiction
A harsh crimson glow makes everyone look like they've dragged themselves out of intensive care burn units.  I can't shake the feeling that I'm being followed by crows.  Rain washes in across the back of my neck.
Linda's straightened herself out.  She lights two more cigarettes, and goes to place one in my mouth.  I block her arm and she pulls a face and says, "Oh, you're one of those.  Can't kiss a girl after you cum in her mouth?  Won't smoke a Marlboro if my lips have been on it first?"  She
...hands me the pack and I clamp a filter between my teeth and push in the lighter.  It pops thirty seconds later and I raise it to the cigarette and puff heavily behind the wheel.  She sits there brooding, smoking.  I'm no longer quite as deviant or dangerous because I don't want to eat myself.
Paramedics are placing a sheet-covered gurney into the back of an ambulance.  The contours are all wrong.  There's no way to tell if it's a man or a woman or a kid.  The faces lined up on the sides of the road are nearly featureless.  We clear the area and I gun it, back wheels chirping on the rain-slick tar.   The windshield wipers thunk in perfect rhythm with my heartbeat.
