Yellow Cottage
upon a time, nestled on the outskirts of a quaint village, stood a charming yellow cottage. It was a humble abode with a thatched roof and an inviting front porch adorned with vibrant flowers. The cottage seemed to possess an aura of warmth and serenity that attracted visitors from far and wide.

MIRAGE
"Hmmmn...stooop," Constance said hesitantly as his lips crashed on hers. She perceived the now familiar scent of his mouth; a musk scent that would normally have drawn her to suck on his tongue and swallow his saliva but now nauseated her as it wafted through her nostrils. She pushed his chest and peeled his hands from her waist and picked up her wrapper which had fallen off her body in the process as she hurried out of the bedroom to the kitchen, leaving the door open. She switched on ‘oju ti nepa’- an improvised battery-powered lamp mounted on a wood, a cheaper alternative to torchlight and generator in the face of stable blackouts- that she positioned permanently near the light switch and moved straight towards the stove on the kitchen slab. She lifted the lid of the pot on fire and hurriedly put it back as the heat burnt her hand.

He hadn’t had his phone long, but Tony became accustomed to it quickly. He knew all the bells and whistles on it and even figured out some things Dell didn’t know yet. So when he heard the sound of chirping birds, he knew it was a text from Tori.

Dell was mad because he felt like he wasted Trudy’s money by going up to the school. He was initially excited when he spoke to the counselor about what he wanted to do. Unlike what Man said on the way home from Illinois, the lady actually knew what she was talking about. She explained to Dell that he should utilize the Community College to take all of his standard pre-requisites and some of his electives. She then explained to him what electives would transfer to the teaching program. She then took the time to explain the teaching programs from the local universities to Dell. It wasn’t until Judy was helping Dell with his application that they ran into the snag.

“Grandma!” Tori yelled from upstairs while dumping the contents of her purse all over her bed. Her yelling combined with the change hitting the hardwood floor startled Trudy so much she ran up the steps to find her granddaughter dumping the contents of her bed drawers. “Good Lord Victoria, what are you doing?!!”

Why is it so hot already? Dell pushed himself off of his bed and placed his hand on the floor vent. The only cold he felt was the metal grate. He sucked his teeth and walked over to the tiny closet. The hangers screamed along the metal bars as he pushed them to the side. Dell grabbed the big, light blue, box fan from the back of the closet and tossed it on his queen sized bed. He chuckled to himself remembering his mother laughing at him and Malik struggling to get the bed in his tiny room. Then he smiled because he had the first good night’s sleep in a few weeks. Yeah, the bed at Dre’s was comfortable, but his head hurt so badly he was too paranoid to sleep well.

Dell didn’t know the name of the emotion he was living. There were several times during the evening he lingered in the midst of relief and disappointment. The first time was when he got back to Tori’s house and noticed Trudy wasn’t home. He was initially relieved because he knew she knew more than she let on. On the other hand, Dell knew she was his strongest ally and would defend him if needed. She would also dote upon him once he told her about his plans to go to college and become a teacher. He was pleased that she would be proud of him.

Dell’s mind was racing as the truck came to a stop in waterfront lot. He reached between his legs and grabbed the duffel bag before extending his hand out over the front seat for Mann to shake. The pair exchanged obligatories, and then Dell shifted to face Sticks who raised an eyebrow at him and replied through a chuckle, “Oh that’s how you do family?”
