taxi cabs and other courses for escapism

Death Cab for Cutie and a tumbler of Glen Marnoch

--

This aftershave was a bad idea.

It's a sickly aroma that holds in its perfume, bundled tight and coarse, memories of affection as sweet and nauseating as it's actual odour. It's like the ethyl scent of decay, but more economically pricey and, morally, much, much less affordable.
