Unscheduled
This is the era of cops and dealers acting on one accord.
With the legalization of all scheduled drugs, the dealers actually paid for fiends to go to rehab just so they wouldn’t overdose and die. The money flooded the streets and everyone clocked math. All of the cash became a salve to keep the police from engaging in force. Everything formed because of the fact that the narcotics could not be in their clutches anymore.
“If you’re going to talk about the past, you have to remember the amount of crime and death and destruction there was before the ruling,” officer McCafferty said.
“I remember.” The two shared a short laugh.

Breath issued from Angelica’s mouth. The weight of the baby put her into her chair. Her curves managed to say she had not been with child the whole time. There seemed to be a fantastic ideal swimming somewhere in her mind about the hazards of caring for two. She grabbed a magazine and fanned herself, knowing that she expended more energy in that effort sitting still and letting the air conditioning do the job. No, she told herself, without struggle there is no triumph. She switched on the television set. The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.

A Quiet Kind of Ache
The dorm room feels hollow. The grey Boston University lamp on my wooden brown desk is the only source of light in the room, casting long and uneven shadows over the empty twin XL bed across from mine. My roommate left to head home for the weekend. Her absence shouldn’t bother me this much, but somehow, it does. The silence has its own presence in the room. The atmosphere feels heavy and dense without her occasional remarks, rustling, and tapping on the keyboard. The quietness is the unspoken proof that I’m completely alone.

One Hard Thing
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You have the number, you know your schedule- you’ve even picked out the perfect day and time to make this appointment. Shoot, you’ve even picked out alternative days and times just in case their schedules can’t accommodate you!
