A short story and a prose poem (not original, just interesting reads)

Hello! It was great to see everyone who made it today.

Here are links to the short story and the prose poem I mentioned, which Kat's story reminded me of a bit. The short story (the first link) has very little to no immediate action, the whole story is told almost entirely through flashbacks. I think this is a neat device, particularly if you prefer writing in a descriptive and/or stream-of-consciousness style and find plots to be a chore.
