    Summary

    "What do I do?” Steve appealed into the phone. “I’m freaking out.”

    There was silence on the other end of the line. It lasted so long that Steve pulled the receiver away from his ear and frowned at it. Pay phones were old. Maybe this one wasn’t working despite the obvious dial tone when he picked up.

    “Ok,” a stranger’s voice said over the phone. “First acknowledge the fact that you dialed the wrong number, but be quick about it because my cab is a few blocks away from my own plans and I’m about to drop some truth bombs on you.”

    Summary

    Chiaroscuro: The treatment of light and shade in drawing and painting.

    "This close, It gives the impression of a sleeping giant, it's mouth slightly parted, it's eyes closed. Flecks of gold contrast against the subject’s skin like sunlight, chased by claret that reminds Steve of splashes of blood on a battlefield. It's intimate, and soft, but he can see in the flurry of movement still etched into the paint that this isn't, as he had thought before, a portrait of someone who is simply asleep."

    First bit is loosely based on Miscellea's gorgeous story "The Weight of Light" which you should absolutely read. Everything after that is a mess that fell out of my brain like a thoroughly trashed Athena.

    Summary

    “We are raised to believe (on the surface, at least) that us humans only have so much love to give, and that it comes in a standard round unit: one.”
