A Walk Down Memory Lane

The world drifts by me in colors of green and grey. My mind swirls with too many thoughts all running wild into the day. I can’t grasp any one thing long enough to rip it apart and understand the meaning behind it. All I know is that the world is changing and we have a front row seat.

Plus, we were heading closer and closer into town. My town. Or what had been my town once upon a time. Now? It was nothing more than a memory with its walking counterparts drifting along sidewalks, going about their day. No one is aware of the threat that lingers in the woods just waiting for one of them to slip up or have the correct scent of a Fae bloodline.

Do we let it happen or do we stop it? This decision haunts me and it’s one I can’t decide on just yet. Nor do I want to. No wonder the old gods walked away, leaving the hard decisions up to the few who couldn’t walk away, no matter the moral obligation.

It didn’t matter right now, because we were getting off the expressway and heading toward downtown.

“What are you doing?” I peer over at Cas, his hair is a mohawk mess, his mustache is curling out of control, and that five o’clock shadow is more of a beard. But the dark shirt he’s wearing and those dark jeans are doing everything for him that his unkempt face isn’t. It’s distracting me, especially the cape that sit beside us. The black fabric appears alive, wisping out like a tongue to taste the air.

“Nothing,” I finally reply, but I know what he’s referring to. Somehow, I keep slinking down to the floorboards so my head can’t be seen. Childish? Yes. But I give no fucks. I mean, what if someone notices me? At least the loaner from Grandma is a roomy SUV that allows me to slink down.

“You’re hiding.” He grabs that damn toothpick from his mouth and points it at me.

Fine, if he wants to play ‘let’s point out the obvious,’ then so shall I. “Casseus,” I say as sweetly and softly as I dare. His eyes turn wild and he glances at me with those soulful, dark orbs. “Tell me, when you felt me last night, did you relieve yourself?”

I’m not done yet, not by a fucking long shot, but he only grunts and ignores me. So I continue on. “With Mac?” I enunciate each word. My voice is a little deeper, a little huskier.

The SUV swerves and I smack my head on the door. “Ow, what the hell?”

“I don’t kiss and tell.” Is that a blush creeping up his alabaster skin? I reset myself in the seat and lean in. It is a blush.

“Do you top or bottom?” I’m staring right at him, waiting. It doesn’t take long and the tires squeal to the side of the road—right into a spot in front of the hardware store. Sneaky.

He shuts off the engine, pocks the keys, and turns to me.
