>The grey-blue whorl twirled into the sky, deepening the Prussian hue of atmosphere above him. Stephen had only intended to wait five minutes in the verdant backyard of Quentin's estate, but the wait had doubled as he attempted to lounge on the underused, wrought-iron garden furniture, smoking exactly two Parliaments, ultimately deciding to chalk up his losses and go to see "AssMasters 2" on his own whilst giving the box office ticketer the impression that he would be joined later, why this cover Stephen had no idea.

How am I doing thus far, /lit/? This is the first bit of fiction I've started in a while.

Yeah, I'm planning on amending that.

This is going to be erotica, by the way.

Did I just blow your minds?
