The Note Jim loosened his tie in a careless motion and hung it on the coat rack beside the door. As he slipped off his shoes he could tell from the utter silence that Mark wasn't around - probably out with some non-mutual friends. In all honesty, an empty apartment was fine by him this afternoon. He really didn't want his housemate to catch him sulking with that introspective look in his eye again.

Finding himself in the unlit living room, Jim promptly fell backwards onto their couch, sinking into it with exhaustion more mental than physical. He sat there a time, staring lazily, bl


Casino Night His hand paused an inch from the door handle of the Toyota Corolla, and hung there, quivering. He knew what he should do. He should open the door, buckle up, and get the hell out of here. Maybe with the morning light this will all prove to have been a bad dream-- a horrendous nightmare. But his heart pounding a rapid rhythm in his chest, the blood rushing to his head, the dizziness he felt even as he stood still, they could not be reasoned away as mere illusions.

that will numb his mind, so no more pain will be felt..
But little comfort is
