[100 days of 100 words] 45/100 Life

[kitchen_kink]

Tomorrow is always coming, and yesterday is always gone. So I try to live in the now. Counting the days, anyway, never did anyone any good.

In the now, I bench press 250. I can run tirelessly, so that it might be an hour I’ve taken, or a day. I’ve read Chaucer and Milton and Shakespeare, but now I read Dickens, I read Ellison, I read Emerson. Steinbeck is next on my stack, but that’s tomorrow. I’ll think about that then.

I can’t take back what I’ve done. And they won’t ever let me out. Now is all that matters.

This is sort of like a condensed version of the first chapter of my latest book, except better.

Wow, thanks. It's funny; I never know which ones people are going to think are good. I thought this one was decent, but maybe a little pat. I actually thought the one before it was better, and nobody's said anything about it!

Good to hear this from you, mister represented and published writer.

My next project, I think, will be to pick the ten 100 days entries that I think are best and take 10 days each to expand them into short stories. Instant collection!
