A sidewalk that appears recently shoveled, along with a double driveway. Snow is in the street and on top of some nearby cars. Others haven’t shoveled their sidewalks yet.

was reminded recently of the greatest short story I've ever written. you should read it.
Eli steps out of his truck, slipping the revolver into the rear waistband of his jeans, pulling his red flannel over it. Belle loved this shirt. Said the pattern reminded her of that Italian restaurant he took her to on her seventh birthday. He inhales deeply then glides his hand over his chest, over the fabric, as if to assure himself, this is what he wants to do. It is. He grabs the green backpack, slinging it over his shoulder. His Razorbacks hat barely mops up the sweat already dripping from his brow, the eastern Arkansas humidity and heat mixing together like a wet slap to the face. Over the phone yesterday the guide told him to wear long pants, despite the heat. The ‘squitos are a real sumbitch in them woods. Eli tells himself he doesn’t mind the discomfort, his calves already encased in sweat. It won’t last for long.

An empty Chicago bus except for the driver and a pair of legs in blue jeans. Every seat is empty. It is dark outside. It feels grandiose.

A tall, handsome man holds a gilded frame meant for art, as if he is the art. He is wearing a leather jacket, a hoodie and a white shirt, along with jeans and a sneaker. He is in an alley with Chicago brick on a wall behind him.

A beefy, muscular bald man, who is handsome and tall, takes a gym selfie. He has on a sweaty gray tank top and lighter gray sweatpants rolled up. He probably looks better than he thinks he looks.

love to own a home that a previous owner once thought "I'll just put the wood beams for the deck directly in the ground, it's Good when Wood and Dirt become wet friends"
