Push… and listen
A story where the protagonist is on the can and he hears something about him from guys at the urinals beside him. What is his reaction and why? Toilet tales.
Girl
Overheard at Coffee Garden in Sacramento. === A car? Why do I need a car? I have people drive me around. Girl. I looked like an F-O-B. Girl, I asked my mom why she let me walk out of the house like that. Girl, she said that I dress my self. Girl.
