Standing by the theater, the brutal sun beat on me as I passed out colored pieces of paper for the upcoming play.
They said I was a hired actor. Instead, I was an understudy. So, the casting crew hadn't totally lied to me.
Too bad nobody told me beforehand when I auditioned months ago.
At least I'd been paid upfront because doing anything on the street corner was uncomfortable.
People were going about their day, and I was an annoying invader of their space and time.
Like a mosquito.
I shook my head, praying for this shift to end soon.

The Antique Shop Dreams
As midnight approaches, a solitary lamppost flickers to life, illuminating the cobblestone street. An antique shop appears, squeezed between a cobbler and a bakery, the wooden sign swaying on creaky hinges. A warm light radiates from the inside of the store.

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. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
