I met “MY” matches for close to a full revolution around the sun at Fluid. A nightclub that was hot in the late 90s. I’d had all those credit cards they give you your first year of university and would max out at least one at this place at least once a month. I’d see […]

Straight ahead, you already said, hi, twice. On the pile of photocopies you’re lucky to have in your hands. On your watch, as if you don’t know exactly what time it is.
