Lunchtime: Bread & Meat
[ An excerpt from a novel that's been in-progess for a while] On my lunch break from teaching. Strolling along industrial avenues, smelling, though never glimpsing, the (not so great) Salt Lake. Occasional gusts of wind blow dust from high-mountain desserts or smoke from a wildfire somewhere into the valley, which mixes with vehicular emissions to form the haze that those who live in the valley are asthmatically accustomed to. Nothing but fast food outlets, car dealerships, pawn shops, as parking lots —lots of parking lots— as far as the eye can see (through the haze anyway).

King Elizabeth the tenth
I met Steve from a bookshop, we were both browsing - looking for our next read. “Oh no, not that one” we kept on saying to each other when he or I touch a book that he or I already read, and it was not good. That is how we met. He introduced himself, so did I. He caught my attention as we had similar taste in books.
