Chocolate
Short Story about Imagination, Grocery, and Space
A friend of mine told me the following story:
Chocolate was the prize our teacher offered for the best essay with the words "grocery" and "space." I loved the idea, and my imagination immediately began to paint aliens and epic battles to save the Earth at the local grocery store. It took me two days, and my fantasy filled seven pages, so I was more than satisfied and already picturing myself handing out chocolate to my classmates.
Marta won the chocolate. She had only written one sentence:
The grocery took off into space.

Guardian Angels 1 Revised
Silence, except for the hooting of an owl somewhere in the dark woods to the left. Kalin took in a deep breath of cool night air, holding it for a few seconds before slowly letting it out as she opened her eyes. The path stretched out in front of her, lit at intervals by the campus lights. Almost there, she told herself. Just two more years of hard studying, and she’d have her degree. She could take care of her sister and parents. She tilted her head back, looking up at the stars. Even with the campus lighting, she could see more stars here in the mountains than at home in the city. She tugged her hoodie closer around her, swallowing her nerves. It wasn’t like they weren’t supposed to be out at night, but something about the quiet made her feel out of place.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
