Rhythmically, like a deep drum. But slowly, the beat began to die. Slowly, it faded away. The light expanded vividly. With every fading beat, the light grew blindingly [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vtcwriters.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7554096&amp;post=123&amp;subd=vtcwriters&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The days had been getting old and boring like some God-awful grey-ish brown - so monotone that she forgot which days were which and had the sun come up yet? She was too young for a crisis and too old for contentment. A dollar fifty-five brought her here, where the thin men in prickly-numb skin slouched on curbsides, wanting nothing more than to wake up but never really knowing they were dreaming in the first place.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vtcwriters.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7554096&amp;post=121&amp;subd=vtcwriters&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Looking at him, the granite contrasts with her pink scars

		<description><![CDATA[I.

Should you tattoo Caveat Emptor across one of your delicate shoulders,
then you may very well find yourself in the arms of snide men—
smug men, who mistake the warning for a joke. 
The way you were raised,
(which I might add was rightly so)
you would date no less of a man
than one who could at least decode the dead tongue,
but to read your fair discretion
is a far cry from understanding
—comprehending—
why, etched in your skin in black ink
in the language of litigation,
you chose,
of all words,
“To the buyer, beware.”

Mrs. Price would not have allowed Carter and himself to do such a job during a warm, starlit evening, she was much too dreamy for that.
