The Man in the Basement
There’s a small town in the state of Michigan in the United States that almost nothing happens in. It’s your average small town, where everyone knows everyone else and it only takes five minutes to traverse the entire town – counting the rural area. If you live there, then you probably have your entire life. Your parents grew up there and before them your grandparents. You know the kind of town.

Learning to Trust
I grew up in a strict household. I wouldn't call it overbearing, exactly, but growing up in a small town with much older siblings -- well the rules chafed on me. I wanted, more than anything, freedom. Freedom to express myself in my dress, my body, my art, and that was just not allowed in my house. Rules were made to be followed and as a self-conscience, awkward teenager, I did my best to follow them even as I chafed under them. Then I turned sixteen and my world changed.

The Long Climb
She struggled to pull herself up, gasping in the freezing, night wind. Pausing, she leans her head against the cool metal of the building, her arms aching from the strain of holding her weight. For a brief moment she glanced down, groaning at the distance between her and the ground. Taking a deep breath she continues pulling herself up, trying not to think of how much more distance there was to cover or how cold she felt in the night air.

Putting Away The Books
If, like me, you love to read; if you have stacks of books and lists of books you want to own and more books than you will probably ever manage to read in your life resting on shelves that are bowing inward from the weight - or even if you just have a small stack and you reread the same books over and over until their creased and worn but you can quote them word for word - then you understand that the most frustrating thing as a reader is being told you'll love a book and then discovering the book is absolute garbage and you've wasted good reading time on it. Only slightly less frustrating is the tediousness of reading a book that absolutely bores you to tears.
