When music mattered

Random word: Moody

Random Story Image

Looking down, Marie could see where Jeff sat with his friends going wild about Jackson Five when she knew only The Who mattered. Now who cared. Remembering him at least in her thoughts made the moment bearable as the bus bumped along the track. Or that's what she told herself.

Come and ski over my washboard…

Random Word: Snow Covered Hills

 Random Story Image ‘Ooh, I wish you’d let me out on those snow covered hills.’

‘I beg your pardon.’

‘Just looking, makes me want to helicopter with all skis kicked turned for whatever undulation comes my way.’

‘You do mean skiing, don’t you?’

‘Hmm…’

Oh please,  even I know your snow cannon misfires.

Speaking the truth in love

Random Word: Claudia

You there.
So sorry to...
I find myself...as you can see
beyond a means of moving to the side.
Before your time I drove to here
without your...sourness and
a smile for all.
Before...
the pity hurts
and mocks the running hour
that others, weeping, call my life,
ignore the hopelessness and see the song,
which fills my life with joy and laughs.
So you there, yes you, please,
my gift to you-
I Love.

Just a moment. Oh the self referrer. I’ll be needing your returns.

Your returns. For your balance although—

Don't worry.  What’s your heart’s desire?
To *&%$ the IRS
Sorry they have first call.
No…no.

Matt Ruff- Set This House In Order (2004)

Set this house in order
 
 
Oddball romantic-drama. Andy Gage is the key 'soul', managing his household of multi-personalities, working in dysfunctional IT start-up business. Matched up by his kooky boss with Penny, still warring with her 'souls', his life unravels—secrets not faced come back with a bite. Sensitive and funny account with vivid characters.
