      “So, who’s on your list?” Nick looks eagerly at me. I take a sip of my coffee. “What list?” “You know. The list.” He shovels a handful of popcorn into his mouth. “She’s on mine.” He nods toward the TV. “Keira Knightly?” I ask. “Yeah.” “I still have n

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      Alo.

      Alo.

      Hi Dina.

      Hi.

      How are you? I miss you.

      I miss you too, really. Where are you?

      In Faraya.

      You are still in Faraya? Are you crazy? In this weather?

      Oh it is marvelous. It has been snowing for three days non-stop.

      I know, I watched the news. Aren’t you cold?

      No, of course not. Got the chimney going and everything, I have everything I need except one thing.

      And what is that?

      You.

      Ha ha ha ha

      Why are you laughing?

      No, I didn’t mean to, it just sounded nice how you said it.

      I really miss you Dina.

      I miss you too. Ah I am so tired, I just got back from the gym, and I can’t feel my legs. Are you alone? Who are you with?

      Just me.

      Aren’t you bored?

      Not really, it is very nice up here. There are some people here, enjoying it like I am. It is so quiet and peaceful.

      Guess what?

      What.

      I want to tell you something.

      Tell me everything.

      I thought about our conversation last week.

      I am all ears.

      I thought about it. I was apprehensive at first. I mean, the problems that can happen and the mess that can ensue, you being a married man and all, but I thought about it fully and I decided that I am going to do it.

      You have no idea how that makes me feel.

      How does it make you feel?

      Ecstatic. Are you kidding?

      Yeah, I am still scared though.

      Of what?

      Of what might happen, of problems and complications. I don’t want to wreck your marriage. At the same time I want to be with you.

      You won’t wreck anything. I told you.

      But what if she finds out?

      She won’t.

      But what if she does?

      I will deal with it then, stop worrying.

      You know how crazy about you I am?

      Ah, it is that talk that gets me.

      I am crazy about you.

      Tell me more.

      "I am crazy about your whole being. About your mouth, nose, teeth, breath, fingers, toes, hair, voice, everything. See? I am being completely decent. I can
