    My mind arrived to this conclusion as the bus slowly made its way to the station. This place was really something else; the summer was so hot that even the nearness of the sea wasn't as helpful as I'd imagined. Every day was adorned in sweat, and there was no way around it. Perhaps it was different in her city... "Haven't you told yourself you're done with that," my ratio pleaded. Funny, even after everything, somewhere, a part of me refused to follow the illuminated path of what's good for me. "But she was," my heart began, syncing its saddened pulse with the slow r'n'b beat that flowed from the nearby burger stand. "She was... She could've been everything I know..."

With their little lives, their money, their fake faces and nose jobs... Horrible. Only the sea helped; the way it glistened in the sun, the way it played with city lights in the evening.

I'm really not of the stupid sort, my only bad habits are smoking and drinking now, and I never fell for a woman who-
    "Say it, you dumb fuck."
    I stopped in front of my company building, pretending to check my phone. Somehow... She was mine. Not his...
    Heaven, have mercy on my soul.
I don't know, this may become something.
Just experimenting, I've never done this before.
