Burns with Brimstone

Alex Rost

The room is small and empty and unfamiliar. A pool of vomit in the corner. Cigarette butts ground into yellow carpet. What seem to be streaks of blood coat the walls. It looks like it smells like shit, but all he can smell is the piss in his costume.

Lay My Pants In Our Empty Bed and Hump Them, Just a Little

Alex Rost

Because cigarettes are one thing, 
but my baby won’t have me smelling of shame.
