“She was the kind of dame that defined dames. Curvy, breathy, and lethal. I decided I could deal with lethal.” #writing #noir

If you’re “living the dream”, you aren’t living your life. And dreams are often nightmares in disguise. #life

I feel like writing another time-travel story, and another noir, but I have other stuff to finish first. #writing

Just think, if oil is/are the remains of decomposed ancient creatures, you won’t be worth much in the future. #life
