Five Minutes with Chocolate Cake – RegularRandom

Waiting.
He waits. His body is still, but inside, he is rampaging. Ravenous. His eyes move constantly, watching for her, and his only other movement, almost imperceptible, is a slight pulsing of his knee as it quickly moves ever so slightly up and down. It’s all his mind can allow. She can’t know what is hiding…

Where You Want to Be.
Am I where I wanted to be? Did I get here easily? Did I make a sacrifice? Did I take a sharp left… when I should have turned right? ⁃ Darren Hayes, Where You Want To Be. We all have our sliding doors moments, I’m sure. What if? What if things were different? What would…
