Day 190 – He Said – Where I Start
“I-I-Is, is that true?” She asks, turning to him, her eyes wide with panic, her bottom lip trembling.
“Would I lie?” He replies coldly, as he gently stirs his drink with a finger, smiling. She searches his face, his eyes, for anything, any hint of doubt, but finds little else, but confirmation of the words he just told her.

You can also, finish it off yourself, the only rule, this has to be the start, the words can be changed, it can be twisted, a little, but, it still needs to fundamentally be the same beginning.

People are surprised when reading Matthew’s stories that he’s a sane forty something year old, happily married, father of one, employed full time and dream of dark disturbing things that any sane person would never even contemplate thinking of. But it's true, he’s toyed with writing for most of his adult life, but has always found the peg a writer must fit into is not the shape he wished to be. His writing can be described as lamenting, long, concussive (yes it smashes you in the head), compulsive, and stuffed with rhythmic communication and violence, let’s not forget the violence. His own opinion on his writing is this, “You see, I don't just want the words to seep into your mind, but into your soul, showing you images of blood and beauty through, volatile language, violence, sex, love and sin. My muse takes different shapes, and every now and then you can see her shining her wicked smile in some of my stories, tempting you with her promises, but ripping your heart out instead.”
So have a look, and take a seat in my wayward ride, as you join me while I purge through, this twisted road of madness.
Why is it so creepy when he stirs his drink with his finger? You play with my mind. I like how this feels linked to the next post too, the snappy nature of his thinking as opposed to hers.

Haha, I agree it’s a weird thing to do, but that’s what he suggested, he seems to think it would give him an unusual vibe, which worked. He turned out to be quite the vindictive little bugger though.

It’s brilliant. Little details like that lift stories to a whole different level. Note to self: never trust a man who stirs his drink with his finger on a first date.
