"Twirling Records" Excerpt.

Yes, I am still working on a few short stories

 After she had finished dancing she slumped against the wall. Breathing heavy with a flushed face, her eyes wandered around the room. The walls had once been plastered with posters. But recently she had taken them all down. Leaving just the markings of torn tape. In their place she had placed paintings. Artwork she felt represented herself. Her eyes shifted from portrait to portrait. Eventually settling on a setting sun on a harsh landscape. It was home. And her mind trailed from childhood memories to the hours she had spent with him. Her hand idly trailing its way down her neck, through her breasts, and circling her bellybutton.

The room had become hot. A trickle of sweat dove from her forehead onto the hardwood floor. It may have even splashed in an extraordinary way. But her mind had wandered to his strong arms. And how he had left with just a brush of a kiss. Leaving her craving more. Craving the escape of love and color in such a cold dull winter.
