It was funny though cuz even though he does snore on occasion, I can’t ever hear it in my room. His snoring started off soft but it slowly would get louder and louder then he’d kinda half wake himself up and it would get quiet for a few minutes then the entire process would start over.

I was again walking downtown late at night and this time I was walking near the library.  While I was standing on the sidewalk between The Leonardo and the library I saw a cat huddling next to the building trying to keep warm. I stopped to pet it and that was when I very faintly heard what sounded like two people talking in the courtyard. I walked toward the sound and it got louder and louder until I realized it was too loud. Upon futher investigation, I found that there is a talk radio station that broadcasts out of a little shop in the library’s outdoor courtyard and they keep a speaker on just outside…

As I walked along the mostly deserted and icy sidewalk, I could hear my footsteps in four distinct parts. First the sound of the toe then the heel following and then the echo of each. I could hear the echo of the toe overlap the sound of my heel hitting the concrete. As I walked along listening to this, I heard, faintly in the distance behind me, the same pattern. Another lost soul pacing the streets at night. He was moving quicker than I was…
