Premature Evacuation
It was too soon: A Micro fiction for most, fact for some.
Cruising along on a chipper Sunday morning from 30 days in rehab, a reckless driver sideswiped me, forcing my vehicle onto jagged rocks littering the shoulder. I was left with two flat tires. Exasperated, I decided to hitchhike.
When I arrived home, I found a piece of mail from the facility I wrote to myself. I don't remember doing it at all. It read, "Check under the junk drawer." I walked straight to the kitchen and pulled out the drawer. Taped underneath were bags of drugs. I calmly put the drawer down, took a shower and hitchhiked back to rehab...

The Cat's tongue
Clammy hands etched out a repetitive statement on the dogwood table; I am alone, was carved over one thousand times across it; adding several entries every day. You would think Karl was being punished by his elementary teacher for saying naughty words during the Pledge of Allegiance. But it was routine for him. His saddened soul would wake every morning wondering what he did to deserve this life. His wife of twenty years, along with his daughter of twelve years were taken to heaven on a stormy April day. He blamed himself for being so consumed in his own work, that he couldn't take the time to pick up his daughter Tara from school, so his wife went. Neither one returned after a mudslide brought their time on earth to a sudden end.

How to Not Become the Woman Everyone Warns the New Hires About
I wrote this manual because I have seen this behavior too many times to pretend it is rare. In many production jobs, toxic behavior is treated as normal, especially when it comes from older Hispanic women who have been there longer. They think they run the place. They mock new hires when they mess up. They give dirty looks instead of help. They laugh, whisper, and call it experience.
