ALEXANDER (964)
Touché! That had to be his favorite word, I remember him saying it more times than he said any other singular word. "Touché!" He wrote to me when I accused him of being too direct in his texts. That word and nothing else. But that was Alexander; that was the way he communicated. He wasn't […]

THE LOCKDOWN. (717)
I watched the empty streets from the window of my bedroom; it was as quiet as a grave, except for the whistling of the soft breeze. White papers littered the deserted tarmac streets.
