It was too late in the day and too early in the morning to be caught up in some bullshit, yet that’s exactly what was happening. It wasn’t uncommon for Lillas to be called for police work. In fact, all three active cleaners had at least one detective they were close to. But the cases […]
Crashing. Slashing. Clanging. The orchestra of violence cut through what should’ve been a peaceful night. Instead of blowing floral scents and pollen, the breeze blew debris that escaped from broken windows. Despite Lillas’s warning, Mr. Hopper wasn’t prepared for how loud and messy cleaning was.

“Poor minds talk about people. Average minds talk about events. Great minds talk about ideas.” –Eleanor Roosevelt Last day of June and I’ve finally come up with something that I wanted to talk about that wasn’t about politics or an event I’ve been to (which I find can be tedious and boring after a while).

Ex. #207: You have been locked away in a max security mental hospital. Write about it. I can’t believe this is happening to me. They think they can keep me here forever with their drugs and their double talk, but they’re wrong. Try to save the world, blow up one little factory, and get thrown […]
