"There was something about the way that Frank was looking at you, and grinning at you, that made heat blossom across the tops of your cheeks and start to burn in your lower belly."

You are eating breakfast alone in a little corner diner, sometime prior to the year 1995.

Flipping through the newspaper. All the news is bad. Like always.

The coffee is bitter. The eggs are greasy.

The waitress wears a name-tag that says 'Kathy' but you hear the line cook call her Diane.

She refills your bad coffee, and takes your empty, greasy plate.

You play with the cheap ashtray on the table, and consider lighting up a cigarette.

The bell over the door jingles and you look up to see if it's who you're expecting.

I stumbled upon an article about an AI tool capable of isolating objects within images at will... and I saw that a commenter slyly invoked this:

enhance 224 to 176 enhance, stop move in, stop pull out, track right, stop center and pull back, stop track 45 right, stop center and stop enhance 34 to 36 pan right and pull back, stop enhance 34 to 46 pull back, wait a minute, go right, stop enhance 57 to 19 track 45 left, stop enhance 15 to 23 give me a hard copy right there.

The art of Nell Brinkley.

Like Henry Clive, Nell Brinkley was another magazine illustrator for "The American Weekly" working during the 20s. Her work primarily focused on beautiful women and lavish, gorgeous costumes. In a way it resembles the style of early shojo manga, and could well have had an influence on it!
