So I was sitting at a coffee shop yesterday (God, how many stories start out like that!) and was just having an iced coffee, doing some reading and writing, etc. It was nice and peaceful, there was a dog, everyone was very Austin chill, and then these kids showed up. They were probably middle-schoolers, around that 12-14 year-old range. They were loud, they were energetic, they were really happy to be hanging out on a Friday afternoon. They started playing Truth or Dare. I think somebody had to strip down to their underwear behind the building at one point, and at another this sweet 13 year old had to come up and ask one of the guys at the table next to me out on a date. Anyways, the point of this is that it was very Amusing, and fun, and made me wish that I was a kid again. Damn that happens way too often. Sigh. Anyways, I was doing some writing and I’ll be posting some of it up here. Read it if you want, make comments if you want.
