My Fucking Editor Cant be this Useless 1

Editor: I just got a text message from this girl asking me what animal I like, what should I say

Writer: Can we get back to work?

Editor: Come on man you scratch my back I scratch yours I’ll get on it after I answer her

Writer:[Sighs internally] ….pangolins

Editor: why?

Writer: they’re exotic and cute so I figured a girl would like that response, plus since it’s a fairly obscure animal so it would show off how smart you are

Editor: Oh man I see you put a lot of thought into that

*types pangolins (since he uses hangouts on his phone to contact me I can hear every excruciatingly loud button press)

Writer: Alright let’s get back to it

*buzz

Editor: She texted me back saying I’m the pangolin of her heart! Oh, my god how do I text her back?

Writer: GET BACK TO WORK (what the fuck does that even mean?)

Ghost March: What Was Never Meant to Be - Part 3

She seemed to lighten up on remembering that name. I got off the train and headed for my hotel. Compared to the graveyard that was only lit by the moon and starry sky, the street lights that burned brightly served to blind me slightly, yet with all this light the streets still came off with this lonesome feeling. There were people walking around but they looked straight ahead as they were walking not caring about what was around them. Amber trailed behind me “I don’t know what led him to me, the first time he drove me to a small hotel he looked like a frightened rabbit. When we finally got into bed he just kind of stared at me not knowing what to do.  Well so long as he paid me I didn’t care, he didn’t last long as you can imagine when I asked him to pay he told me to wait. I was pissed but after arguing with him I figured he paid for the hour so might as well give it to him. For the time that was remaining we just…talked. It wasn’t about anything, in particular, I didn’t want ...

Ghost March: What Was Never Meant to Be - Part 4

"Why? Were you afraid?" "Of course I was but not for me, but for him" Oh no...I see where this is going. "One of the girls told me that someone snitched on me. I don't know how they found out but I knew my pimp would come after him that day. So on that night, I went in the complete opposite direction from him, I didn't make it very far though since the last thing I remember was seeing red." I sighed deeply and heavily. We had finally arrived at my hotel. I got comfortable, took my shoes and suit off and grabbed a drink. Amber was looking around the place until she finally stopped at a large picture of a map of the city in the middle of the wall. Tonights gonna be a long night. After I took a sip, I set the glass down on the table and walked next to her "I'm sure if exorcized you know you'd go peacefully, but I want to do one thing for you before I do." She looked at me with eyes full of expectation "Do you want ...

Ghost March: What Was Never Meant to Be - Part 1

I arrived somewhere close to midnight at the cemetery. The graveyard was out of the way for the suburban town so the stars were out. My Dad’s grave was near the top of this hill so it was a bit of a walk to get too. When I had finally arrived the glossy stone slab was in pristine condition. Perhaps the grave keeper was a hardworking man or maybe my mother still visits him in her advanced age every now and again. I laid the flowers down in front of him, now that I’m here what should I say? It’s been a very long time since I last saw him, but even now it doesn’t exactly feel real. I felt that once I was in front of him some grand reverie would burst out of me but nothing came.  I didn’t know what to do. It didn’t sit well with me to leave saying nothing so I said what I promised I’d say when I left this place so many years ago. “Dad, I passed. Even though this isn’t the path you wanted to be on, it’s the one I chose to follow.” I don’t know if I should leave just saying this m...
