Car Trouble

David's car flew down the highway, the pitch blackness outside making the night a monotonous one. He had gone on auto-pilot hours ago, his only aim was to put miles behind him. He was at mile marker 318 but didn't know or care what state he was in. The only clues to his whereabouts was the heavy scent of pine in the air, the trees were deeper patches of blackness against the night.

The sun was just making a showing on the horizon when David came out of his half trance, noticing his gas light was flashing. David's camero started to stutter and heave. Growling in frustration David pulled off the narrow mountain pass and turned off his car. Fishing his cell phone out of his jacket pocket he glanced at the screen and snapped it closed when it said there was no service. Looking around all David could see were the towering trees above him and a patch of sky high above. The rough asphalt road curved away in either direction, the paint faded and worn. He could hear birds in the trees and the air was pure, like the air in his memories.

David leaned against his car and took another deep breath and exhaled slowly. He hoped that another car would come along, but he didn't hope very hard, he had not passed many people on this old highway; most people preferred to take the interstate.

Shrugging, David started to walk down the highway, hands in the pockets of his jacket, not so much in a hurry anymore. At the moment he was hard pressed to care if he ever got to where he was going. Drawing another deep breath he started to whistle as he walked down the road.

D&D Humor

I am looking for you. I don't know where I should start looking. I don't know who you are or what you look like. I don't know what you believe in or your station in life. I just know that I am looking for you. If you find my note leave a response in the hollow of the oak.

I suppose looking anywhere would be a good start. After all, you will never find anything if you don't look for it. I am me. The quintessential self that represents who I am. They say that beauty, such as it is, is in the eye of the Beholder, where as the rest of the party is in the stomach of the Beholder.
-P

I am being serious.
-K

Then you shouldn't ask such ambiguous questions or rather fish for information in that manner. Who knows what you will get as a response.

Keeping Hope

I wish that I could hold you near. I wish that I could see your smiling eyes. I've been wandering blind; hoping to find you, someday. Hearing your voice on the wind, and seeing your kind and gentle smile keeps me moving forward though I am weary and the load is great.

-Jason


Keeping hope, though hope is dim, and wishing to return again is all that I ask for this night. I want to be by your side, and hope that my prayer is heard. I wish I could come home to you again. Keep a candle burning for me to guide me back to you.

-Susan


Love me still though I am gone, and keep my memory clear and strong. Help me to believe I can return, someday to be with you again. Give me strength to carry on even though the road is long. I will find my way back to you.

-Jason

Letting Go

I would have given anything for you to see me, to see how much I wanted to be with you. I would have done anything to make you stay. I would have made every day full of wonder I would have held you closely each night. I have had to learn the hard way that you can't make someone love you. All the love in the world is useless if it is not returned. I know it doesn't make a difference now, but I love you.
-Sam

I'm sorry I had to hurt you Sam. I hope in time you will understand. It's not that I didn't or don't love you, we just can't be together. I know it is difficult to see, but in my own way I did love you. Please don't try to find me. I have to learn to let go. I hope that you don't hurt for to long.

Told You I Could

What happened? Didn't I tell you not to do it? So what did she say?
-Matt

Wouldn't you like to know. :) I told you that I would do it. You never believe that I will. Someday I'm going to really shock you.
-Ben

It would be a shock to me if you got her to agree to it.
-Matt

Oh ye of little faith.
-Ben

Well, I'll believe it when I see it.
-Matt

Seeing isn't believing.
-Ben

What is with the quotes? What did she say? Did she agree to it?
-Matt

If you don't want to believe me then fine, but you might want to open your front door.
-Ben

Yeah right. All right. But I still don't believe you.
-Matt

...
-Ben

Holy Shit...
-Matt

I told you I could get her to dress up as a bunny for Easter.
-Ben

Race to the Ground

Gone for a run
-Carly

Had to go to class, there is food in the fridge.
-Beth

Sorry to miss you again. The food was delicious, thank you.
-C

You know, it's strange we are room mates and never see each other.
-B

I know, we don't even have the same sleeping schedule. Do you need me to pick up anything at the store while I am there?
-C

Nope, I'm good. But if any chocolate jumps in your cart don't fight it off, I'll pay you back.
-B

Want to hang out on Saturday? I know you don't have anything going on.
-C

Sure, what do you have in mind?
-B

How about skydiving?
-C

Perfect! I'll race you to the ground!
-B

A Quiet Moment to Self

David lay underneath his car, a classic black Camero. It was a bright spring morning, the sun was high and the breeze was fresh off of the river that ran nearby, it was the perfect day to be puttering with his car. David thought fondly back on his father, the car had belonged to him. A radio lay near the car playing a classic rock station.

David scooted out from under the car after having finished his work, his shirt was greasy and stained black in places. He leaned over and picked up a red cloth and wiped his hands on it. Dropping the hood into place, he reached in the window and turned the ignition, the car roared to life and settled into a seductive rumble. A smile spread across David's handsome features and he slid into the drivers seat.

Shifting the car into gear, David followed the old dirt road along the river.
