Fool's Gold
The satchel was fastened tightly to the harness, tucked securely under a side flap. I could only guess how the coins sparkled, how the jewels glistened. Their twinkling rattle delighted me as they shuffled together within the large pouch. I couldn't wait to lay my eyes upon them.

The Right To Refuse
As the ground fell away beneath us, I started to relax, leaving my worries back down on earth, where they belonged. We - my conference-bound co-workers and I - had made it through the airport with a minimum of drama or delays. I found it worth mentioning, because that was rarely the case, given who we were travelling with. Lila was seemingly allergic to things like forward planning, and had never met an inconvenience too small to raise a stink over. Because she was the CEO’s niece and the daughter of the company's biggest investor, her problems were made into our problems, even when we wanted nothing to do with them.

The Unexpected Luxury Flight
Sarah, a representative from the airline at the departure gate, informed Dad that he had missed his flight. Despite seeing the plane waiting outside on the runway, he was informed that the gate was closed due to being 25 seconds late. Dad's 14-year-old daughter, Jessica, expressed her frustration about his delay while Dad inquired about the next available flight. He was informed that the rebooking fee would be £200 for each ticket, which he found outrageous. Sarah commented on the expensive rebooking fee and suggested that she hoped they had found a bargain at the Book Store. She then recognized a woman standing behind Dad as a television series actress and made a comment about it.

Chicken Noodle Soup is the Best Cure
I wait impatiently for my phone to ping as I stare at it. I realize I haven't blinked in a while and my eyes are dry. She never takes this long to message back. God, she's bored with me already. NO. No, she just hasn't looked at her phone. I decide this is stupid, just waiting like this, so I get up to make myself some dinner.
