"I find myself wandering around the streets at night and looking at the shit places we call home. All the lights, buildings, and garbage. And I ask myself, why do such delicate human beings have a taste for satisfaction and feed themselves unfulfilling hope? Then I remind myself it's delicious, and that's my challenge for you. What makes the inability to be content delicious?" - Lilah Waterbury

The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way.

It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete
