“Moony” by Jazz Minnelli

Submitted to Contest #52

“See you later Dodge,” I texted. I waited for a reply and getting none, went offline to do the good stuff. And by the good stuff I mean the cool stuff, which was hacking for me. Because we all have that vice which is our downfall or our salvation, and for me it was the latter.Just then, one of my telephones rang. The ugly black one with its paint peeling off which I had scavenged from the scrapyard, which meant the Pig was calling. “Hello,” I said.“Hey Joey.

“Bus-Stop Acquaintance ” by Jazz Minnelli

Submitted to Contest #49

The bus-station this particular morning was deserted save for a few people dotting the concrete seats built into the walls of the station.
