The secret within
The sky was grey, threatening rain, as she ran round the familiar streets. Passing the beautiful neighborhood houses, knowing inside they were full of love and warmth.

Escape
Deer Crossing, Minnesota, the name given to a town with a face only a mother could love. A vile-smelling slaughterhouse was the highlight of the west side, a highway that offered rapid escape was the highlight of the east side, that was where highway 55 cut through town, within 5 minutes it would take you directly to Robbinsdale. Before the internet, it was the only way to get anything that wasn't available at the town's 3 stores. It went without saying that a grocery store, hardware store, liquor store, bar and Baptist church served the needs of the town's 1002 residents. But if you want any cool clothes or good comics you have to go to the city. Fine, there was one clothing store in town, Gena May's, but it was really more of a swap meet for old folks to trade their rags, everybody knew old Gena only had a few years left, that was the town's way of chipping in.

Valerian and Venom
I did not want to buy anything for her. She had, after all, stolen the love of my life and left me to stand on the sidelines. Still, when your heart has been broken and there is nothing left to gain or lose, you can pick yourself up, spin yourself around, and set off in a new direction.

Sarah, The Little Black Book

Formula
Formula It was so cold you had to think just to get through it. You dared not stop for a second or you might freeze in place. It was an “ear-flaps-down” kind of day. Turn a corner and watch your breath get carried away in a cloud. Keep your head down. Keep moving. Nothing was worth stopping for.

We mustn't touch what isn't ours.
I continued stumbling through the dark. Snow covered the ground and adorned treetops, muffling my steps and heavy breathing as I made my way up a particularly steep hill. The torch I had craftily affixed to my beanie with various pins and tape, threw columns of pale light through the dense trees but the constant movement of the light played tricks with my eyes and every few seconds I would turn and stare at spots I could have sworn moved without invitation.

Pennies From Heaven
I suppose it’s not terribly surprising that I forgot all about the notebook. Notebooks aren’t particularly memorable things at any time; nearly everybody has one. And this one was not only exceedingly ordinary, it had clearly seen better days. The only thing remotely unusual about it was its arrival.

1888
TICK-Tock. Silence enveloped the almost-empty room as we both waited for today's punishment. TICK-Tock. The sound of the grandfather clock echoed through the room, filling my head so thoroughly that I felt faint.
