A Certain Rudderless Intensity
“Go away get closer!” you scream.In your head.You didn’t expect or request it.Yet there it is.You don’t know what to do with it.Still… there it is.You think you might, for the first time ever, understand, “out of your league.”You don’t like it.At all.You wonder if it really exists.In the way that you envision.Maybe it doesn’t […]

The Waiting is the Longest Part
They have been sitting in the doctor’s waiting room for what seems like hours. Gary doesn’t even notice himself drumming on the arm rest. Shari does.
