    “I'm not indecisive! I just don’t know what I want!”  Beth’s friends burst out laughing trying to drown their guffaws within the contents of their cocktails. They’d known each other for nearly 20 years, since primary school, so the idea their friend would not tie herself in knots over the smallest decision was borderline science fiction.   “Bee, some people are determined and focused and know what they want at every possible turn… and some are not,” smirked Jess, Beth’s bestest and most longest suffering of friends.

    “File B294, met a snobbish girl.” I put the cue card into my red cabinet. I shut one drawer and then it shuddered. The knobs twisted up to show it was locked. I ran my fingers over the spines of my older cards with small mementos of my past, like the time I pulled that guy from fifth grade’s hair, for bullying me. ..my first kiss…my first taste of a sour lemon meringue pie. All of these memories were under A1- 20. I had some issues deciding where to catalogue today’s experiences. “Dex!” a shrill voice shouted.It jeered the senses. I nearly dropped the cards I was reminiscing with. I hurriedly ...dfqone door
