We were out on the balcony so that he could have a cigarette before bed. It was surprisingly cold, and I leaned into the curve of his back unconsciously, sapping that human warmth. "It's so overcast tonight," he said, "I can't even see the city from here."
"Mmm."
"Every time I look at skylines, I wish it were the future. The science fiction future, you know?"
Men with brain-jacks and Chiba-city razorgirls turned cartwheels into my consciousness. Everything at once became much brighter, as if, in a few nanoseconds, my neophilia had been boiled down to a handful of brilliant synapses, flickering over ones and zeroes in unison with his.
"I know exactly what you mean, baby. And you know that I know exactly what you mean."
He ground his cigarette out and kissed me, and we ended the day.

Oh, and I read all of that thread, and your new reason for doing SG is awesome lol! And are you seriously a AA? I believe you, I just am not sure I knew that existed before you said you were.
Wait a second...your old reason for doing SG was awesome too...how do you do that? People don't have that good of reasons for doing things all the time...are you some kind of double agent? Is that why you're in Ecuador?
This journal entry is stunning.
You're like a spark in a sea of black that ignites a raging inferno. I'm just an architect, saddled with endless blueprints of potential, but I've never built a thing. You make me want to keep trying.
