An Apology

"I'm going to level
with you, this is my fault," I admitted. "In about five minutes the
house of cards will come crashing down on top of us, and it is by no fault of
your own."
They raised their hand
to speak, but I stopped them.
"Don't waste your
breath," I told them, "just go."
They sighed and hung
their head low. Then they fidgeted in place before they finally turned for the door.
"There's something
I've always wanted to say to you," I imparted, "I'm sorry."
They stopped in the
doorway and turned back to face me, "I know."

Night Over The City
(Warning: If you're not familiar with danbooru. Be careful if you decide to go browsing through it. Most of the art there is quite risque to put it lightly.)

'These are the nights I
live for,' I thought as I observed the bustling city night. The warm lights on
the dark backdrop and the subdued sounds of the city's night life. It's times
like this I'm reminded why I put up with all those idiots at work, the
frustration of urban transport and those endless bills.
I leaned back into my
chair and smiled, 'I've made it, I'm happy. It's not the money, or the
apartment or the job, but the sheer fact I've put everything else behind me. A
job well done and now it's time for a life well lived.'
I glanced at the
cityscape again, 'I don't think I'll ever get tired of this view.'

The second story was inspired by an artwork from "Teikoku Shounen." Apparently the original webpage that the artwork went up on is now defunct (hence the danbooru link), but they have another webpage linked here:http://tksn.sakura.ne.jp/index.html
As for the stories, they were mainly experiments with shorter word counts. It was fun at least.
