Anecdotes #1 - #10

#1.
A can of strongbow.
Sitting empty on the side.
A reminder of the night before.
Why does my heart feel so bad?


#2.
"How's the website coming along?"
Mark asked, with a glint in his eye.
He knew full well I couldn't afford a website.


#3.
The girl looked me up and down, blonde.
I told her that I was unemployed
I've never seen a girl move so fast.

#4.
This girl who fancied me added me to facebook.
I glanced through her pictures.
With haste, I removed her from my friends list.

#5.
The ashtray, full of tab ends.
The coffee cup, stained brown and empty.
They didn't find Ed's corpse for three months.

#6.
I should have seen the signs.
Why didn't I see the signs?
Perhaps I was blinded by the fact she put out on the first
date.

#7.
Tom seemed to be doing well.
New house, new car, new girlfriend.
Shame we lost touch years ago.

#8.
'Excuse the mess', I told her.
She said she didn't mind.
I reckon she probably did.

#9.
I stepped up to the counter.
quickly, I ordered a cheap bottle of vodka and some cigs.
Something deep inside told me this was going to be another one of those nights.

It was.

#10.
"I'll see you on Saturday!" she says.
"Great!" I reply.
It's not great; I know full well I don't stand a chance
