The Lantern
The night sky did not care for the earth. That was a fact that had remained constant, even as the rest of the myths surrounding it shifted with the centuries, trickling like water through the collective consciousness of mankind and smoothing the stones that made up their stories. While the sun and day regularly danced with those earthly creatures humans, the moon and stars were loath to notice them. It was considered improper for any child of the night sky to visit the planet.

She Used to Talk to the Wind
The woman walked her usual route around the kitchen, muttering to the spaghetti sauce simmering in her pot. Her kids were already seated for dinner in the next room, all five of them in a riot. The youngest was giggling, the oldest was shouting at them to shut up, and the rest were screeching at the chaos and smacking their hands together in enjoyment. Her husband sat slumped dejectedly at the end of the table, scratching his stubble and sliding his eyes over the blue screen of the phone. He had never been one for talk, so the woman found it easier to carry her own conversations.
