I scurried as fast as my feet could take me through the livin room, slidin on cool tiles and headed straight to my secret listenin spot cause I knew there ...
Greetings from the Fat Man in Postcards
It was love at first sight. They were both peering at the same framed card.

They didn’t hate Santa, they were just frustrated with the long, repetitive hours and needed someone to punish.

Before he knew he was lost
He tried to pinpoint the moment that it began, the exact moment when he wasn’t sure why he was going, but it all felt too nebulous.

Waterlogged
Normally, I ignored calls from numbers I didn’t recognise but twenty-two missed calls in the span of an hour was worrisome.
