divorce
Divorce isn't an end; it's a different beginning.
DREAM DATE
Late afternoon light played delicately across the greystone walls of the historic building. A woman stood opposite, a small street separating her from the path that would lead to ornate, wooden double doors. She inhaled deeply, standing squarely facing it.

Moving On
I’m sorry but something came up at work and I can’t make it to- Tina deleted the text and threw her phone down on the bed. I can do this, I can do this, she chanted to herself in her head. She was being silly, really. It was just a date. So what if it had been 15 years since she had gone on a first date.

The Bigger Picture
I ran away. Don’t you ever want to run away? You see, I’m an artist. My feelings have to surface through some form of expression, like a breaching whale of emotions. My professional medium is abstract painting. The creative process is defined by wild freedom and carefree recklessness, just like falling in love. I'll paint happy, but I won't paint heartbreak. The emotion is too vast for the limited framework of a canvas, or my life, for that matter. When he broke up with me, I knew I needed to expand or risk spilling off the edge. So, instead of painting, I ran away.

Attachment
There is no guarantee or permanency of anything in this life, although we pretend there is. One major problem we have as a human is the emotion.

MOONogamy
When someone says they want to kill you, it’s not always a statement taken literally. It’s more like a playful phrase couples use when they tease each other, a rather puckish way of saying: I’m going to get you back for whatever silly thing you’ve done.

Grandpa's Ax
Wind whistles around the dilapidated shed. I’m huddled, back against the rough plank door, chin on my knees, arms wrapped around my shins. I barely dare to breathe. My husband’s footsteps fall to a stop in the thick leaves outside. His shadow blocks the sun coming through a crack in the wall. Across the dark, crowded room, Grandpa’s ax hangs on a nail. If I can get to it before the man outside gets to me…
