Dear god, late to the party on this show but...so far, 100% would rather meet Bardem's Anton Chigurh than Bardem's José Menendez.

Notable stays: Leslie and the Lys, and some guy who was walking from Texas to WA with a cross on his back to show penance for not paying his child support.

When a guy walks in and asks me if we have a fridge big enough for a mountain lion. Soon after the feds came in and dragged him out for poaching.

In all seriousness, I really like this story. Inspired loosely by a quiet female janitor who worked at my high school and a romance novel I bought at 7-11 when I was maybe 12.

New flash fiction, "The Almost." Romance, no regrets, and early morning bus routes.
