    PLEASURE

    The winter sun filtered through the open blinds onto my face when I woke. Smith was gone from the bed. It pleasantly surprised me to feel well-rested — no tension in my back or shoulders for once. I washed...

    PASSION

    He carried me to the left wing of the house. That room was another fusion of spaces: bedroom, office, walk-in wardrobe. It was modest compared to the main chamber — almost stoic. The headboard of a double bed stood...

    • I don’t remember him having 4 arms. That is a cool public service announcement to stay away from fast food.

      • the 4 armed Grimace was only for like a year or two. Many complaints were coming in from parents that Grimace was scaring the shit out of kids watching those commercials. Thanks Fia.

    • Cleverly penned, Keith. Excellent write my friend. Sounds like Grimace and Cookie Monster would have a lot in common. lol. So he couldn’t get over as a heel? So they turned him baby! The four arms are kinda creepy, even by dropping “Evil” it still sounds like a heel name. Was the Hamburglar a heel too? Stealing hamburgers and such. I’m having too much fun with the wrestling lingo brother. Appreciate you.

      • HA! Hamburglar was always a heel. He was never gruesome or disturbed looking. One look at evil grimace was scary & unsettling for kids. I can see the similarities of Grimace & Cookie Monster. Totally. Thanks Damian for the fun reply back!

    • Hey Keith, I can dig it. Nicely written my dear friend!

    • The “Evil Grimace” design definitely leaned into that exaggerated, bulky cartoon villain look. It wasn’t really about realistic body size so much as creating a goofy, over-the-top shape that kids would instantly recognize. What’s funny is how he eventually transformed from a four‑armed “evil” milkshake thief into the friendly, clumsy purple blob everyone knows today, one of the strangest character glow‑ups in fast‑food history. Big purple hug, my dear friend.
