I took my time, running my fingers along the spines of books, stopping to pull a title from the shelf and inspect it. A sense of well-being flowed through me as I circled the ground floor. It was better then meditation or a new pair of shoes- or even chocolate. My life was a disaster, but there were still books. Lots and lots of books. A refuge. A solace. Each one offering the possibility of a new beginning. ↗

His aim was off, probably due to the difficulty of having his eyes on the other side of the room, but he made up for it with sheer determination. ↗

I think it's cool to wear roadkill. If I died and somebody wanted to wear my teeth around their neck to VMAs, I'd feel honored. ↗

I thought again how odd it was to be on formal terms with someone you had once permitted to lick your ears. ↗
