Mystery

The Counselor
Susan retracted the keys from the ignition and stuffed them into the front pocket of her tote. She hadn’t done the commute to the city in months. She resented having to return to the office now. Scowling, she grabbed a three-ply mask off the dashboard. She stretched the elastic loops over her ears and checked her appearance, groaning. She’d fussed with her hair and makeup to look put together for her first day back, and now a crappy face covering dug into her cheeks.

The Star-Dog and I
It was in the middle of the spring of my youth when I were but a frail young man whom knew nothing of what the world had to offer, nor was I so young and thoughtless in my mind and eyes to know that all that was told unto me as a youthful boy was all that there was or ever will be. Here I protest to the thought that I knew and had never known anything. My youthfulness should not be apart of these thoughts that I write here, but since the quill can only take down what it is that the ink and hand place, well, it is as I said it was and that must be how I want to begin this.
