That's morbid...

Still Born3

‘Who would you be?’

He laughed.

‘What’s so funny?’

‘Just the first answer to pop into my head.’

‘Which is?’

‘Which is… it’s way too morbid for right now – for post-sex chit chat.’

‘Go on, tell me, who would you be, if you had to choose someone?’

‘Really?’

‘Yes, go on.’

‘You really want to know who I’d like to be?’

‘Just tell me…’

‘Okay…’

‘Well?’

‘Okay, well...’

‘What?’

‘Okay – any still-born baby.’

‘What?’

‘You asked.’ 

‘That’s way morbid… That’s weird.’

‘I know.’

‘That’s…’

‘I know. Believe me, I know.’

HELP OUTSIDELEFT

Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]

WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT

If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
