Two Paths Converge. Honorable Mention in Parallel Lives Challenge.
Rain tapped softly against the café windows, sliding down the glass like a hushed metronome marking time. Evelyn sat with her hands wrapped around a steaming cup of coffee; soaking in the warmth, watching the storm and feeling a pressure building inside her chest. Forty-two years old, recently divorced and uncertain what her next steps might be.

Sweet Beginnings 2
The intense heat woke me up. So very hot but this is my first memory, that means it must be time. I know this is a short moment in my life but I know it will be worth it. The creator will pair me with another that should compliment my flavor. I can hardly wait for the moment we meet and I have the opportunity to fulfill my destiny.

Sweet Beginnings
With a keen eye, Georgia gracefully swept the spatula around the side of her famous chocolate cake that stood proudly on her mothers' crystal cake pedestal. Three layers of rich, moist, chocolate cake layered with a chocolate mousse-like frosting. She stood straight, admiring the simplicity of the chocolate perfection and decided to grace the center with a large ruby-red strawberry.

A New Friend
Jess woke early that Saturday morning and tip-toed to the kitchen. She found the large red bandana, and lay it out. Careful not to disturb her parent's sleeping in the other room, she moved about the small kitchen picking out cookies, crackers, a couple of apples and then pieced together a bologna and cheese sandwich. She wrapped it in a paper towel, and placed it on top. Picking up the opposite corners of the handkerchief tying them in square a knot like her daddy taught her, being sure to tie the last one around the first to keep her goodies secure.

Sup-prose-d to Write it Right
What does it mean to "be fulfilled"? It is defined in the Oxford Dictionary as: satisfied or happy because of fully developing one's abilities or character. By that definition it would seem I am not completely fulfilled, as my hunger for knowledge and understanding of nearly any given topic is insatiable and seems there is always more to learn.

Twist of Fate
The light squeak of the corkscrew seemed to echo through the empty kitchen. Georgia’s left hand stabilized the bottle of Merlot while she slowly cranked the top with her right, watching as the arms rose to the top in accolade of the process. Placing a hand on each of the raised arms, she slowly lowered them and watched as the cork raised up and out of the bottle. With a soft ‘pop’ she pulled upwards and relieved the bottle of its oppressor. She glanced again at the clock that read 7:30 PM. Forty-five minutes late, with a sigh she rolled her eyes and grabbed a large wine glass.

It's OK to Face-Plant!
