Above the Clouds
We’d hit the end of the trail officially recognized and maintained by the state of Hawaii in about an hour and a half, at around eleven in the morning. A wooden bench played host to an older couple, and small families milled around with phones raised for pictures, children and parents smiling against the wide view of the ocean and the town of Hanalei nestled twelve hundred feet below in the sweeping lap of the valley. They’d all come equipped for the trail; shorts and tennis shoes abounded, backs unencumbered by packs that only would have served to free the hands which clutched twelve ounce water bottles. Eyes followed Charlie and I with curiosity.

Destiny and Mollusks
She tapped on the glass. Gently, but firmly. Nothing happened. She tapped again, a bit more firmly. A woman behind her said “no tapping on the glass!”. Turning to sneer at the woman, she tapped again. This time, it was more like knocking on a door. Loud and abrupt. The woman shook her head in disgust and walked briskly away, she muttered as she went. “Some people’s children, such a shame”. The young lady raised her fist to the glass wall of the aquarium tank and stared longingly into the teal water. She leaned forward, and rested her forehead against the tempered glass.

Finder, Keeper
[Inspired in part by the short story, "On the Banks of the River Lex," by N. K. Jemisin] Yuletide stared the puffins and penguins in their sad red eyes. Dozens of them had gathered around the chain-link wall of their enclosure, beaks agape. Slowly, Yuletide dipped an arm into the bucket in front of her, scooped up a slew of herring, and presented it to her audience, who responded with several harried squawks. She held the silver, scaly bouquet aloft—which lucky seabird would be the next to wed? One rockhopper’s beak trembled as he watched her raise the fish ever higher; maybe he was the blushing bride-to-be.
