They sweat with my memory, alone in cheap rooms they listen to moans through the wall, and wonder if that's me.

I show up like money on the sidewalk." -Kim Addonizio, Muse

Laughing quite hysterically between each raking breath. Calmer now, she notices sees for the first time her motions make no stir her screamings all been mimed. With skin that's turned to leather hugging brittle bones she grabs her ruby hair and sees it no longer glows.

3206. Taking into consideration that hindsight is clearest, she was smoke. She scorched lungs and left her scent on your lips, and it's been a pack a day since.

Kiss some strangers and make a fool of yourself. Raise a few questions, but don't expect many answers. We're all a bit lost you know, so do yourself a favor and stop trying to be found." -Derek Deyling
