Saul nodded and took the bill. He handed it to the girl, including his own money, "Here. This should cover it," he said, seeing her count it and put it in the register, giving the change back. He moved to the side, making room for the next person in line, a small, balding man with his youn...

Saul smiled, seeing his friend appear from the crowd. He watched Garry step beside him, and gave a chuckle, "It's freakin' packed in here today. It's ridiculous. Although, it seems to always be packed." He waited in line with his friend, the queue moving agonizingly slow. By the time the o...

Saul scanned the food court, his eyes flicking back and forth. He noticed some people he knew in the crowded mass of people, not not enough to go out of his way to see them. He then looked up towards the signs, reading them off. BK and McDonalds... way to have variety, St. Paul. He thought for a mom...

Saul watched his friend text out the message, his fingers moving nimbly over the keypad. Saul didn't own a cell phone, and never planned to. He waited a bit, before hearing his friend say, "Okay, let's go." He nodded, "Ten-four, good buddy. Let's get some food, I'm starving," he ...

Saul shrugged to his friend, reaching into his back pocket and pulling out his own wallet. Opening it up he examined the contents. Two fives, a few ones, and 3 quarters. He looked back up, "I can pretty much handle my own food. We can go head to the food court, if you want to." He took one...

Saul followed his friend to the counter at the end of the store, inhabited by the young lady. He smiled to her and looked out the store window, beams of light filtering in from the outdoors. He sighed happily, marveling at the beauty of nature. Wow. I am in such a great mood. He thought. Maybe a bit...

Saul chuckled and nodded, "Sure, buddy. I'll help you look." He scanned the shop one last time, looking at everything. The sticks, skates, shoulder pads, helmets, jerseys, and everything in between. His eyes came to the girl behind the counter, and when their gazes met, he smiled to her in...

Saul smiled, listening to his friend. He looked back up at the picture, and replied, "Just looking at the pictures, you know? Sometimes it's good to think about the past, the things people accomplished, the things that they didn't, and the things they shouldn't have." He looked back at his...

Saul sighed quietly, gazing at the picture. I wonder what he would think of the world today. Internet, colour TV, video games... Suddenly, a hand touched his shoulder and a voice said, "Hello there, husky." Saul jumped. He flinched back and turned around quickly. Seeing his friend Garry be...

Saul stared at the hockey stick , taking in every detail. He started at the tip of the handle, drawing his eyes downward. He carefully read the logo of the company of it, knowing it would inevitably be worn off in a few years. His eyes continued down to the curve of the blade, a beautiful bleached w...

Luke's vision blurred, his entire world going fuzzy. White hot pain tore a swathe through his body, burning every nerve ending. He wanted to scream. He needed to scream. The pain was to much. But all that came from his mouth were ragged breaths. He clutched his chest. Oh God it hurt. It hurt it hurt...

Seeing the girl throw down her bag, Luke gave a bit of a smile. Glad that he had helped her calm down, he looked back to Garry. He was worried about his companion's ankle, hoping to get a closer look at it. He chewed his lip, thinking of a way to ask permission to do so, when Garry started inquiring...

Leaning back to Garry, he whispered back, "Not really. She hit me with a door, but she apologized right after. I think she's fine." And Luke really believed that. She just looked hungry, tired, and lonely. Thinking about it, Luke has been at least two of those things throughout his entire ...

Luke remained knelt beside his new companion, keeping quiet through his outburst. He didn't think he could understand this boy's pain. Luke never had very many friends, and none of them ran deep enough to warrant the ache the young man beside him felt. He merely gave his shoulder a small pat. He sig...

Witnessing the accident, Luke had rushed to Garry. Having some medical experience, he went to examine the ankle, but Garry had already hobbled over to his weapon and assured him of the condition of his ankle. Nodding reservedly, Luke kept a careful eye on him, until Garry had fallen asleep. A couple...
