Muddy Sand Dunes

Block Buster

Hard to concentrate on the rows of dvds stacked about the tin when the lights are flickering faster than a salt line victim.
"300?" She asks all cute, like she's pretty. You're not pretty. You're fat.
"Nah"
We proceed down the isle, passing hour apon hour of fictitious shit. The colors all blend into one as I focus my eyes forward. She stops, spotting something. I stop because she stops.
"Spiderman?"
"Nah"
I don't know why i'm refusing. The quicker I choose this movie, the quicker we get home and have sex. I try not to look at her ass; squeezed into tight peach red shorts. Looking at her ass right now would be like listening to a fart before a meal: Unappetizing.
"12 Monkeys?"
"Nah"
Whenever choosing a movie, my decision is based off of how I think I'd feel while watching it. If I think that emotion, no matter how ambiguous, will cause me satisfaction, I pursue it through the film. But I know no matter what, I'll hate this film with her stuffy presence 
"Lost in Transition?" 
"Nah"
I become aware of my surroundings, dark. We've been here so long the sun had slowly set outside.
"Perks of being a wallflow-" 
"Yeah sure whatever"
Lets just get out of here.
"Gosh finally!" Her voice was one of those 'I can't tell if you're funny or not' voices. Always halfway between ruckus laughter and boredom, making every word start with a honk. She leans against me. Her fat sweaty breasts burrowing down against my chest. "I thought we'd never choose" She spins around on one foot and skips towards the desk. The store clerk looks like he wants to die. Buckteeth dragging through his dribble softened chin. Thank god she's fat, otherwise I'd never have got her with the car I'm driving. My mother gave me this car as a gift. Not for my birthday, or as a reward for a job promotion or anything. Just a gift. She tries to search out different things she can be proud of me for. Putting myself in her situation I can see that must be pretty difficult, considering I work in Blockbuster. Not this Blockbuster, a Blockbuster on the other side of town. Might as well start the car up now. Wouldn't want her being with me as I awkwardly try and jolt it to a start. I sit and let it rumble.
Always pretty plain when you've got nothing to look at. I'm forced to watch her drag herself out of the store and into the car, testing the suspension as she sits down.

As always, the keys slip straight in. I quickly put the DVD in and press play.
I've always
