The birthday girl looked up from her spot in the armchair, where she had spent the majority of the last three years. Or maybe the last five, or seven. She couldn’t remember.
The room looked different somehow. Had there always been this much light?
19, 20, 21… it was all a blur. Those years were supposed to have been the best of her life. Yet, she rationalized, she had always been ahead of the curve. Maybe it was only fair.
Maybe no one really liked their twenties anyway.
She stood up and began to get ready for her party.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
