Uh, don't even look? (I only noticed I was Guru when you pointed it out)
Where's the fun in that? Besides, you have to check who you're replying to. Unless you're color blind, you'll know what title you have because even if you focus on what you're writing, the color of your name will be in the out-of-focus area to the left of you. You might not be able to read the title, but you can see the color.
Fade in. Appartment room, night. A man is sitting in a chair with a piece of chiffon as a bandage on his left leg. He is partially covered in shadows. He has a glass of bourbon in his right hand and a cigarette in his left. Man: It's there, lurking back at me. Like imaginary eyes in the darkness of your open closet. Eyes of superstition, provoked by stories you heard as a child. Your childhood, so sorrowless and free you were. Those days of ancient past flash before your eyes as you look into the barrel of a 40 cal. handgun.
The man takes a sip of the bourbon and moves the cigarette to his mouth. Close-up, focus on eyes. Smokes on the cigarette. Man: Tragedy. Dreams and dames are made of it. Dreams. I had those. Dreams of a good job, a beautiful wife and two kids playing in the backyard. Dreams. Those dreams came close to reality two months ago. Before this. And as irony wants it...
Fade out. Man: ...it started with a dame.
