“Bad writing is more than a matter of shit syntax and faulty observation; bad writing usually arises from a stubborn refusal to tell stories about what people actually do― to face the fact, let us say, that murderers sometimes help old ladies cross the street.”
― Stephen King


The lunch lady asked me what I wanted.
I told her,
“Something light”
She looked me in the eye,
smiled,
then said.
“What time is it when you need to see the dentist?”
“Wait,what?”

I stuttered
“Tooth-hurty”
She pointed to the salad bar laughing.

While lying in bed, once again with sleep escaping me, I wanted to write something light.
