Just because you're trash doesn't mean you can't do great things. It's a garbage can, not a cannot.

the concrete floor might be shiny, but it's cracked like a mirror that's fallen off its perch on a wall. Seven year of bad luck for you. Imagine that! You'd get reaped and lose, probably! Or maybe it would be worse luck to win. We try so hard to survive, but when they come home haunted by shots fired, kills made and lives taken, is it worth it?

root beer tastes close enough to a root to be called a root beer. It's fine, I guess. Not my favorite. I still like water, but I was in the mood for something sweet and this fit the bill. A ball of ice cream dangles from the surface down into the mire of carbonated beverage. It's kinda falling apart though.

> >: i take a sip of it from my straw

> >: point of interest 3 :< <

there's a girl here. She's the only other person in this entire room and I'm wondering if she'd be interested in a game of chess. so i stand and I walk over to her, leaving my root beer float behind.

> >: Fancy a game of chess?

i am winter. i am snow.
i will never let it go.

TERESA MERCURY

"it's a cruel dream"
_____________________________

Lightning generally needs four ingredients to form.

Humidity// The house was always suffocatingly still. I never heard anything louder than the silence in between the stares and the glares and eyes drowned in hatred. And on any other day, I couldn't be forced outside at gun point. Outside ran the risks of flood, drowning. Fires, burning. Lightning, instant death. And of course no one could escape death, but I had gotten awfully good at avoiding it.

Friction// Damion and Ezra had gotten into a fight. Muted sounds of their scuffle bled down the halls of the Mercury home but I simply shoved myself deeper into the depths of my closet.

Pressure// Who or how the curtain lit on fire was still unclear as I ran out the door. Anywhere was safer than there.

Wind// "Fancy a game of chess?" he asked. I looked up at him with large, expecting eyes. Lightning can't strike without a decimated aftermath. You can't get anything for nothing, and you don't need a recipe to know that.

"And what do I get when I win?"

a chess board is black and it's white. Why is this? I want to say something dramatic about divisions and extremes and other things like that, but, honestly, division define us. Male, female. Our district. Our financial situations. We are defined by arbitrary physical qualities and sometime I wonder if that's wrong like I hear so often. If it's a fact, why not let it ring true?

> >: point of interest 5 :< <

this girl is thin and looks menacing almost. Intimidating perhaps? I wonder if her face is just a projection of intelligence or actually masks the real thing. Can she beat me in chess?

> >: And what do I get when I win?

> >: i grab one of the chess boards and sit it across from her

> >: point of interest 6 :< <

she said when. Not if. Interesting. Confident. I can only hope to be a worth opponent should she turn out to be as talented as her face might suggest.

TERESA MERCURY

"it's a cruel dream"
_____________________________

Humidity// Hot anxiety lit aglow in the pit of my stomach and snaked its way up into my throat. I've only ever played chess a handful of times, and took cautious care to make sure my opponent was stupid every time.

Friction// "Root beer rots your teeth," I said, cautiously picking up a black pawn in my hand. I looked my opponent in the eyes, and raised my brows, trying to tell him in a tongueless language, you're going to lose here. A fate as inevitable as death.

Pressure// "Sodas eat away at your enamel and rot your teeth right down to the cores," I settled on moving the pawn farthest left on the board forward. "Until you're just a toothless old man yelling at pigeons in the street. So if you don't mind, I rather wager something with a bit more value."

Wind// I sat back and folded my arms across my chest. If this boy was dumb enough to drink that bubbling acid, then he was probably dumb enough to lose something worth crying for.

root beer rots the teeth. are teeth valuable enough to warrant not enjoying a good, sugar-filled drink every now and again. perhaps the supposed damage to internal organs is more worrisome. but I'm not worried.

> >: I doubt one root beer would ruin your teeth.

> >: point of interest 8 :< <

something of more value than rootbeer. money is meaningless to me. what could I offer of worth to her?

> >: How about the loser has to spend a day doing the winner's bidding?

> >: point of interest 9 :< <

the tone in her voice is edgy and sharp. she sounds all talk and no walk. all bark and no bite. she sounds greedy. like a greedy gus, except with a less masculine name.

> >: The name's Click. What's yours, if I might inquire?

> >: i move the board so that the black side is to me and the white side is to her.

> >: your move, stranger.
