oneword.: theme: "My theme today is quiet. I turn the music off and I listen to the wind in the tops of the trees. I listen to the birds out there and in the distance the soft hum of the cars down on the main road. When I answer the phone my voice is soft and I feel a little lost in time as if the world has slowed down. It is so quiet."

oneword.: influence: "I remember coughing up blood that morning and went I went outside there you were, tucking into your first beer of the day, at 8am. I laughed at you then and I look back now and wonder did my amusement influence you in any way? Did the fact that we all thought alcohol abuse was funny then steer you in the direction you took? I can't ask you now just like I can't ask you if you still drink or what jail was really like. "
