#unpredictability
The crack in the sidewalk is my only comfort. We've become friends overtime, I tell her about the bottles and beer cans, so lost I forget about the aches and pains. She knows it's bad when I'm quiet. I sit with the dark and listen to my sobs echo, the rain can't drown out my thoughts. The crack in the sidewalk is my only comfort. Sometimes I go weeks without seeing her, my identity drifts softly away with the tide. Confused, I am too weak to find ground, maybe it's best I cannot be saved. The water leads me to my friend, I shiver yet I cannot feel the cold. She tells me that she's here for me, the crack in the sidewalk is my only comfort.

The Crack in the Sidewalk
The threads of fate are disorganised and free, no confines of expectations to hold them, each living person a loom, weaving possibilities, intertwining chances, unpredictability, and tragedy... Not a single plan conforms to the threads of fate, and one day, what nobody will see coming, is a marvelous tapestry of fortune.

The Unexpected
"You know what makes every story pretty?" he asked. "What?" "Unpredictability. One day, I don't even know how your hands feel; the next, they are all I ever want to hold." "You know what makes unpredictability pretty?" "What?" he asked. "That your every syncopated heartbeat is my love story."
