You might say that death has relaxed me.

It's a strange feeling, being so utterly surrounded by her. Her life scent is on everything. She's on me and under me and next to me. It's as if the entire room is made out of her.

What happened? How did I get here? How could I have known that my choices mattered?

I wish people were willing to dig a little deeper than the surface elements of a premise before tossing one story in with another.

How do I appear unthreatening when her lover's blood is running down my chin?

Can we really choose anything?' 'Maybe. If we want to bad enough.

I used to split my time between writing, music and painting. I would work on a book and then abandon it, start a band, do an album, quit music, then do a gallery show. Eventually I decided to give writing a serious shot.

You can order yourself to treasure a moment, to cling tight to a feeling and never let it fade, but it's your brain, that three-pound lump of hamburger, that makes the final call.
