"Kevin what the hell does caustic mean?" Nick screamed frustrated.

"It means biting or sarcastic humor, you dildo!" Kevin replied.

"Hey is that your new word or something? You've been constantly saying that word all tour." Aj said to Kevin, obviously chastising the older man.

"Oh shut up Aj." Kevin said as he walked out of the tiny entertainment area of their hotel room.

"Hey Howie, where are you headed for our break?" Kevin asked as he entered his and Howie's room, where he saw Howie lying on his bed. "HOWIE... hey,HOWIE!"

"Huh? Oh, I don't know Kevin, ask Aj or something." Howie retorted.

"Ok, hey, what's that you're writing?"

"Nothing. Well it's sort of a catharsis, you know. A candid letter to the future so to speak."

"Wow, didn't know you were so in touch with your feelings." Kevin said as he wiped away an imaginary tear from his strong jaw line.

"Ha ha. You are so funny you know that. Why you didn't become a comedian I'll never know." Howie said with a deft sarcasm.

Kevin held up his hands in surrender. "Hey man, I'm just joking with you. Gees lighten up.” he said as he walked to the front room again.

Howie sighed as he rolled over and decided that he had written enough. He put his letters back in their safe hiding place and turned out the lights.

"I think I've deluded myself enough. I can't even define the characteristics I want." Howie said to himself in the darkness as he closed his eyes.

"Maybe there's just a shortage in the female population. Yeah right, now I’m deluding myself even further. Or maybe I should really cautiously think about this later." he thought out loud. "I need sleep."

After 2 hours of tossing and turning he finally settled into a restless sleep.
