The following is from the short story I will be reading tomorrow at Midnight Studio. Focusing on it has kept me from writing a decent blog tonight - I'll make it up to you all tomorrow.
"He’d been coming to sit in the parking lot to watch her leave every day since about a month after the accident had happened. Every day, for five months, in the middle of the middle parking section, he’d come to stare at the recently installed automatic doors to observe her walk to the blue ’97 Toyota Corolla that she always parked in front of the fifteen-year old Pepsi machine. She never failed to purchase two bottles of Diet Dr. Pepper from that machine before she opened the door to her vehicle. Kevin never could figure out if she was trying to lose weight, because if she was, buying two was probably offsetting the desired results, he thought. He imagined she just really enjoyed the taste. He always eagerly waited to see her open one of the bottles and have it explode all over herself – he wasn’t getting his desired results either."
