    • "you look gorgeous. stunning. jaw-dropping. breathtaking. do you see what i'm trying to get at?"

    • when others can tell you're in love (or really care abt one another) just from the way you stare at each other
    • helping fix/adjust their clothes a little before they leave
    • sending each other little selfies or pictures throughout the day when they're apart
    • being able to sit/work in a comfortable silence

    • taking their hand and slowly guiding them to the other side of the sidewalk (away from the road)
    • "have you eaten today?"
    • massages whenever they seem stressed
    • that little panicked reach for them (ready to catch them at all costs) if they trip ever so slightly
    • hugs from behind and gentle kisses on the shoulder >>>
    • "i've got this, you go rest."
    • wiping crumbs (or whatever's left of what they may be eating) from the corners of their mouth
    • random "i love you"s just for the reminder
  • Reminds me, I should be getting to the first kiss today or tomorrow and… yeah. I’m gonna enjoy writing that scene.

    I’m trying to be a little more purposeful with my [original] writing, a little more goal-oriented and actionable. One thing I’m trying to do is share snippets here and there. Let myself feel vulnerable in that way, in the hopes of finding like-minded people and build something online.

    So, with that in mind, I’ve been working on little flash pieces occasionally; stuff that strays from my usual style, and maybe a genre I don’t usually write. I view it kind of like trying on clothes in a changing room. “Does this work? Is this something I can take home with me?”

    Today’s attempt is horror, and this is a snippet of that flash fiction piece I’m toying with (and besides a quick check over for big grammar errors, it’s unedited). Let me know what you think (constructively!), if you like.
