Maintain Functional Invisibility.

Challenging

You've got this. Play it cool. Act like you've been here before.

Challenging

No way. You are not here. This is not happening.

Challenging

Awaiting your signal.

Challenging

That, you know to be true.

Challenging

Nothing in her eyes.

Challenging

Anxious disposition. Cold sweat. Likely stomach problems. It's all there...

Challenging

Challenging

What's the problem, can't take a little 'bad death'? Look inside.

Challenging

Smiling, but her voice is hard.

Challenging

She hates you. She thinks you're a stupid cunt.

Challenging

He's perfectly aware you're not from around here, much less a cop.

Keep clear of the nails! One swipe and she could open your jugular.

Challenging

He's not choking, but something similar to it. Something that has lowered his lung capacity to half.

Challenging

A shudder passes through you from the sheer pleasure of his company.

Challenging

If orgasm is 'the little death', then death is the big orgasm.

Challenging

You'd say 'eerie'. An eerie moment.

Challenging

There is, however, a response from within.

Challenging

A little bell inside goes 'ding-ding'.

Challenging

But imagining that it is could certainly make them less intimidating, at least in your head.

A lurch of tedium at the name alone.

Challenging

He's never felt such freedom.

Challenging

He'd be eyeing the top shelf liquor, daring it to try.

Challenging

You first among their number, for reasons you could never quite put your finger on.

Challenging

You didn't hear the word 'no' in there.

Challenging

Summits of derision, mesas of lust, valleys of tedium and miscommunication, ever-enchanted with an opaque mist of technicolour neurochemicals.

Challenging

Staring you down. Hasn't blinked in some time.

Challenging

The past descends with talons.

Challenging

A slow yet inevitable evolution to its terrifying final form: a legitimate bank.

Challenging

A shudder passes through you.

Challenging

The real question is: Can you write poetry anywhere?

Challenging

Read your service history.

Challenging

Like a rock struck by lightning, she remains solid though her molecular structure has been altered.

Challenging

Challenging

His insult does nothing. You are a steel wall that cannot be affected by mere words.

Challenging

It hurts because it's true.

Challenging

Not a second of hesitation, doubt, or curiosity. You couldn't fake that kind of acceptance if you tried.

Challenging

You have merely been living 'Hearing Impaired Romero'. Time to crank the volume.

Challenging

And what was it that killed the cat...?

Challenging

Heart-in-throat, crumpled knees against cold linoleum. A deafening pulse inside the skull. Oblivion oozes through the doorframe.

Challenging

Even if he's not the man she knew anymore, she doesn't know if she can bear to see him hurt again.

Challenging

Challenging

He is going to remember what you say next for a long time.

Challenging

These implications have never occurred to him before. Now he won't be able to un-think it.
