July is the Time
A gathering calls for interesting times during the summer.
Code is everywhere. The earthy scent of marijuana hung in the air. It was below the smell of spices on the baked crabs. Beer, corn, burgers and hot dogs all added to the summer gathering.
It was small. The smells just blanketed the looks of derision and disdain.
“So, you’re here….”
“I am,” Lanessa said.
“I don’t like you being here.”
“Then leave.”
The women sat looking at each other. The men, Tyrine, Carpo, and Kasin stood.
“Let’s not have this. We’re in the middle of summer and it’s hot and the drinks are cold. Shots anyone?”
They lifted cups.

She grabbed a magazine and fanned herself, knowing that she expended more energy in that effort sitting still and letting the air conditioning do the job. No, she told herself, without struggle there is no triumph. She switched on the television set. The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.
