The Swing Still Moves
We never took the swing down. Even after three years, it still hangs quietly in the backyard, suspended between the thick arms of our old maple tree. Its ropes are faded now, the seat sun-bleached and cracking at the edges, but somehow it keeps holding on — just like us. It creaks in the breeze some mornings, as if moved not by wind but by memory.

Sunday Best. AI-Generated.
Sunday Best by T.D Carter As I sit here and reminisce, I can see myself vividly—like a lucid dream—at five years old. The image is so clear and real, I can still smell the bergamot grease in my freshly pressed hair. My golden-brown skin shines like a new copper penny, slick with coconut butter and Vaseline. The smells bring it all back, and I close my eyes as I remember that hot, humid, sticky Sunday morning.

Batteries Not Included: The Joy of Playing Like It’s 1985

Two brothers
I never knew silence could be so loud until I stood on the riverbank alone, watching the water carry away pieces of a childhood that once belonged to two brothers. This place—our secret escape, our makeshift kingdom—had always echoed with laughter, splashes, and whispered promises between us. Now it murmured only loss. I never thought I’d return here without him, and yet, I had to. Because the river remembers, even when we try to forget.

What if the reality of what men desire is more sinister profound and disturbing than anyone has ever dared to acknowledge? Its not a fairy tale. This isnt a tirade.
