Assumptions - The Beginning- Chapter Four
Start at the beginning with the following link ___________________________________________ I heard the thud and clang of the metal door closing behind me. I was sealed out, not in, as I was eighteen months ago. Today was the first time I’d been outside the juvenile detention center since I was brought here the summer after ninth grade. Sure, me and the other inmates had yard time, but it was always supervised and never anything outside of the compound’s razor-electric fence.

It's a Dirty Job
Dressed in my green Honey Pot Camp shirt, I wrestled the cleaning tub into the back of the camp van, then dragged the vacuum cleaner, mop, and broom in last. It was about 90 degrees in the shade, and here I was, a newly divorced mother of two, loading the equipment to clean the lakeside camps owned by Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey.

New Girl: Chapter Seven
Lucita sat crossed-legged on her black sofa, TV off, blinds closed, hair tied into a ponytail, bangs brushed out of her face. Something inside her felt broken, so she was working on it, trying to meditate, center herself, and get over whatever was bothering her. But it wasn’t working.

Smartystan. Top Story - June 2024.
Flags flew freely in the summer breeze. They consisted of a gray and white human brain against a black background. Scales of gold sat just overtop the image of the organ. The sun rose at just the zenith and shared its light and warmth with the attendees to one of the country-states’ greatest accomplishments: the graduation of two women who had been in a halfway house and found their passions for art design and communications. Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.

Smartystan
Another three hundred and sixty four people crossed into the border of Smartystan. What didn’t bother Hector Vergara was the fact that they had escaped from states that were oppressive. He became agitated over the fact the ACA couldn’t help them to better understand that they would have given them refuge. Vergara looked down at his tablet and cursed. “We’re bleeding,” he said under his voice.
