Pearl Nancy
My brow was furrowed on that gloomy morning, as I traveled through the dark storm on my way to Mary’s Cafe for my daily coffee and biscuits. Every morning in Somerset is just as the last; cold, black, and wet. My luster for life had been long departed for quite some while, whilst I hid in my shoebox of an apartment day after day, smelling nothing but my own foul and unmanaged aromas. I would wake, and curse each day under my own rotten breath, head to see Mary, and indulge myself in her bitter coffee and crunchy bread, then I’d make my way back to my place of residence to write transcripts of audio recordings for the community college. My wildest dreams had come true, and these were the fruits of my labor. Plenty to savor.

In a Rut
I took a left onto McAlpin Avenue and my maroon Toyota Scion squealed with its turning wheels. It always did that; it had for years—couldn’t keep its belts properly tightened, so it always sounded like a fucking screaming banshee while driving at moderate speeds through residential areas. I would never be able to sneak up on anyone in that car.

As soon as Mary closed her eyes, she found herself standing in a vast, white space. The air was filled with a soft, golden light that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at once. She looked around, trying to get her bearings, when she heard a faint whisper.

A ghost falls in love with a living person and tries to find a way to be with them
As the sun set over the small town of Millfield, Emily sat on the bench in the park, lost in thought. She had always been a bit of a loner, preferring to spend her time with a good book rather than with people.

A person can see and communicate with ghosts, and uses this ability to help them move on to the afterlife
Alice had always been able to see and communicate with ghosts. It was a ability that she had been born with and had always taken for granted. Growing up, she had always thought it was normal to be able to see and talk to the spirits of the deceased. It wasn't until she was older that she realized that this was a rare and special gift that she had been given.

Ten of the Smallest (and Most Bizarre) Bank Robberies
When you think of a bank robbery, the typical movie scenes tend to come to mind. A group of criminal masterminds who have spent a tremendous amount of time studying bank floor plans and security carefully execute a plan to heist large sums of money with the hopes of never being caught.Additionally, given that someone caught robbing a bank faces a penalty of up to 20 years in prison, it would only make sense that anyone willing to commit such an offense would also be looking for their crime to “pay.”There have been incredibly large bank heists throughout history, such as the Dar Es Salaam bank robbery in 2007, where $282 million was taken. But below, you will read stories that are quite the opposite. From strange motives to fake weapons and loot that was gambled away, this list contains 10 of the smallest (and quite possibly the most bizarre) bank robberies.

Trapped in the Shoe Shop
The man sat at the counter of the shoe shop, staring blankly at the rows of footwear on the shelves in front of him. It was a quiet day, and the only sound in the shop was the faint ticking of the clock on the wall. The man sighed and leaned back in his chair, letting out a long, weary breath.
