The further north they travel from Los Angeles palms and golden beaches, the cities begin to lose their positive, sunny vibes.

He read the card aloud, his voice cutting through the air and filling the room like coastal mist.
The words reverberated in Allen's skull. He stared down at his hands as his palms bubbled black like tar.

His alcohol breath washed over her face. The girl struggled in the rough ropes that bound her arms, each second becoming more desperate. A large hand cupped the hinges of her jaw and squeezed harshly. The man sneered, silver strands dropping onto his eyelashes.

Determination is Coach’s word for sweat, as in Ya ain’t had enough ‘til ya got determination all over your body or Practice ain’t over ‘til ya are able to fill a glass with your determination. My pores are boundless and eager. My anxiety starts to show itself through the determination that leaks off of me like a faucet.
Looking down, Ash placed his head into his hands, digging his palms into his eyes, and began to weep.
