I loved camping for the return it offered to an almost #primordial state: just nature & me.
When society collapsed, others sought my help.
Lasted a week before I ensured I was the last one #awake; fled.
Left a #letter & some fruit, though.
Hope they made it.

Ann’s car was old; it’s
#speaker crackled, the exhaust
#pipe rattled, & the
Windows squeaked. She loved
each #flaw however—they gave
her vehicular
#sanctuary a
more vintage, #authentic feel:
her favourite vibe.

Dee sighed contentedly as she snuggled into her bed.
The #key to joy, it seemed to her, was in the little things—like successfully #plotting to have her humans move the bed to a window, or the #peaceful warmth of a #sunbeam.
Dee’s sighs soon turned to snores.

I sped past the #canal, alert.
There’d been rumour of a local #predator, but the #winter cold was bad & this a shortcut.
I saw a woman reading posters; said, “I wouldn’t linger.”
“Right! Safer to walk together?”
I agreed, missing her crossed fingers—& the gun.

“Your Honor in my #defense: I didn’t try to #bribe the cop.
He looked sad; I wanted to spread #joy & #pink is a happy color!
You know blue is sad & red is #mad, like your face…the 50s were pink so it seemed appropriate. I’m sure you agree.
I rest my case.”

I follow the #red EXIT like an #anglerfish light; run out of the store & into a lunch board.
“You ok?” My coworker asks.
“Bad prank, to cut the #power & chase me,” I scowl.
Color drains from his face like sand in an #hourglass.
“I’ve been here, no #lie.”
Wtf?

Ian felt #heavy as his #Eclipse smoked in the fading #light.
“Sorry Ma, tow will be a bit.”
“In that #case, let’s go there!” She led Ian to a bar.
“Pool?” She asked, a #light in her eyes. Ian bought them beer; she racked up.
“Happy Mother’s Day!”
They chugged.

Tara cracked open a door & snuck into the old theatre. Sunlight softened via a dusty window illuminated the dark #wood stage, & marble trim.
Tara’s #jeans seemed incongruous with the #secouth aura the space still radiated; even so, she smiled. It was perfect.

After a mortifying #mondegreen on a date (he’d thought it was “Smoke on the Walter, fire engine guy,”) Sal tried to think of an #exit #plan.
Then his date, Lee, dragged him to a dartboard.
Desperate, he tried a throw: bullseye!
“Good job…Walter,” Lee winked.

The thief’s inner child enjoyed his latest steal: wind-up teeth toys.
Then came a #nightmare that his teeth fell out while eating a #waffle.
Awake, he began to hear…chattering.
He fell ill; a #gastroscopy found teeth in his stomach.
He returned the toys.

Panic began to #disjoint me.
My #pomeranian had run into this...place. Was she ok?
I turned & saw a dark figure on the stairs, holding my pup.
A #syzygy of joy & fear hit.
It passed her to me; I shakily thanked it for its #assistance.
It tipped its hat.

What’s happening to the snow?
Harder now to be #incognito;
can’t easily hide
from calls to come inside.
The return of outdoor #diversity
in colour leads to such adversity -
but also, at least, to spring
& the fun that season will bring!

Blue, transferred from a #science lab, felt like an #opsimath next to veterans of The Butterly #Emporium.
“You’ll do great,” a new friend said, giving her a #drop of confidence. This became a flood when they were surrounded by admirers, snapping pics.
