Hey! This is my first time here. Found this sub looking for a place to share something I wrote recently. The piece isn’t complete in the sense that it doesn’t have a proper ending, but here goes nothing. Feedback appreciated :)
Our friends retreat away after an afternoon rendezvous into the warm, cozy insides of their own respective homes that lie scattered across town as if somebody with barely mediocre motor skills decided to print a map upon their dartboard. I stand across him, ready to call an Uber, but somehow repelled by the concept of tearing myself away from his intellectual company. I wonder if he confronts my same dilemma: a phone screen asking for the touch of a human hand over the pixels that say “Book Cab” and shivering toes craving the blankets that lie at home, up against a restless gaze aching to shift towards his wondering if warmth may be found somewhere closer.
