====================================================
I run a rough finger round the rim of my glass and listen to the couple in the next booth.
The air around them is pregnant with the child she's about to abort. He's got his back to the slotted wood screen that separates us, but I know he's looking up at her hopefully. She shifts in her seat.
"It'll be ok," he says, "I love you. The timing isn't great but at least now you can leave him. We'll be a family. We'll make it work. I'll look after you."
She looks away as though searching for the nerve to depart from a script and it's too much for me. I drain my glass. I'm halfway to the men's room when she speaks, her voice heavy with shame.
"Don't do this."
It's a few minutes before he runs in, retching, as I'm washing my hands. I move over to the dryer to give him some privacy while he vomits his heart into the sink. The heaving slows into sobs and I wonder exactly what she told him. I doubt it was the whole truth.
Suddenly I'm behind him, my fist in his hair and his head pulled back as snot drips off his top lip and mingles with the bile. I sneer at him for a moment before bringing my arm sharply down, cracking his chin on the basin.
"As if she would ever leave me for you"
I walk out to collect her, seize her arm and drag her upright with a grip that is calculated to make the most of the bruises hidden under her shirt. She whimpers but doesn't protest - she's learned that much, at least. Now it's time for the her next lesson, delivered into a garbage bag that she can bury in the yard.

After days of scouring this hat website I've narrowed it down to 5. Chances are I won't get any of them, but one never knows when one would need one of these hats.

Anything that gives me that feeling I got while climbing the rope in gym class gets +2.

If they can make this, surely they can make a plush depiction of Jesus dragging his cross to sport dans le tête. T'would be the offical cap of the Christian faith! Much more allegorical than that large white wastepaper basket his holiness fashions.

What if someone were to grab you by the horns and take control of their life? It would mean you'd no longer be in control of yours... must somebody always lose? :-(

People with good hats have no need for weaponry.

I am too inoffensive for anyone to want to stab me.
I am pleasant.
Add to that the fact that I always pack heat when I meet strangers from the internet.

If you're seriously moving to the American Midwest, I'll buy you and your crazy man some drinks one night. He only lives about three hours from me.

Deal. I strongly recommend you wear a stab vest though.

"The air around them is pregnant with the child she's about to abort."

terrible. Like Bulwer-Lytton terrible.

I'll submit it for the 2007 contest along with my other great gem: "He passed over them like the angel of death, only without all the messy and unhygenic smearing of lamb's blood"

That's pretty fucking good. I'm digging this whole ADD thing...There's a good chance for a lot of good stories to come out, and they're all nice and short. Awesome.
