His breathing quivered in his chest, a series of short shallow gasps.

He knew what it meant, he’d witnessed it many times. Pets, family, friends, in their last moments the body started grasping, the breaths grew shallower as the survival mechanism persisted in its hopeless quest to continue the biological experience. The white hospital walls watched with dispassionate quietude. ‘It’s happening to me’, he thought. ‘I neverContinue reading “His breathing quivered in his chest, a series of short shallow gasps.”

Japanese

The bartender told me I’m handsome. She complimented me on my pink beanie. I sheepishly wave it off. The people at the market stop to take photos with us. Everyone is so nice.
