Flash Fiction 14. Terrible Writing Advantage.

 The winding wind balances the fray. We mock the dark star satellites because they used to be cans of soup. 21st Century, and the literary cantina is open for too much business. I'm glad I can find my way home by doing jumping jacks. I'm sure i used to be a thing, some sort of odd job employee of the months. Where is my eraser? Hard.

I'm negative, you are probably positive emotionally. Well I listen for something new, and I used to read Whitman 3 or 4 times.

Carving the dark erosion and the taxidermy of the vegetable that no one eats anyway because it's medicine. I recall that old trip, the sand in my shoes and the haunting.

Someone said yes! 

I will find the necessary distance.
