Vainglory
Seattle on an autumn noon is akin to a toddler on the verge of crying. Gray sky that promised pelting rain according to the weather forecast, but right now all she does is dispose of misty air that makes it hard to breathe. With a chronic, untreated sinusitis, I do not fare well in a relatively frigid city like this one. But by the merits of birthplace and hometown, Seattle has earned my inherent love. For this is where I belong, for I know not any other place--any other possibility.

Found Objects
Linden had a habit, a bad habit. Linden collected things, things from shops and tag sales, things she didn’t pay for. They weren’t ever big things, or expensive things; she craved the small thrill of taking things. It was a hobby. No, it was more like a sport. In truth, it was an addiction. Linden was addicted to thieving.

The Dream That Predicted Flood Ivan
The Dream That Predicted Flood Ivan Back in the fall of 2004 we had a very productive storm season. In my neck of the woods there were four sequential floods each happening on the weekends and each getting progressively worse. I live in Ohio, so we do not have hurricanes, but we do get the fallout from them; strong winds, rain, hail and lots of damage.

Sodmorrah Incorporated
Sarah didn't notice the bag at first. When she did, her hand froze on the ignition, her knuckles white from the sudden death grip. A flurry of emotions jostled for power. Fear, suspicion, indignation, curiosity. Slowly she took her hand from the ignition and reached for the bag.

The Little Black Book
Feeling beaten and let down Jessie slowly climbed up onto the downtown bus. He followed the same pattern everyday. Climbing on the bus each morning, resumes in hand and trying his luck at any business lucky enough to be hanging on during the pandemic gripping the world.

Hell-loop
The day started like any other day, in fact if anything, it was a great day. There was absolutely nothing remarkable about it at all. Absolutely not even one little clue that it would end with me laying in a tub half full with lukewarm water passing in and out hoping I wouldn’t drown.

Little Girl Lost
It seems impossible I am sitting in this sweet little house, the first I have ever owned, sipping steamy black coffee, and that I am 60 years old. It feels like yesterday I was ramming through years of my life knowing I had all the time in the world. Always searching for that adorable, trusting, little girl I somehow let down. I am not sure when exactly I lost her, I have only one real memory of her existence. There was a big party in the family’s new home. She was dressed in her favorite dress. It was creamy white, with short sleeves that puffed up like little clouds. At the neck was a peter pan collar and a long green stemmed, red rose, stitched down the front. You could feel the rose if ran your finger over the stitching. It was the first ‘big girl’ dress she ever owned. She twirled around in front of the mirror just to feel the soft material against her legs and watch the rose move back and forth, swaying in breeze that was her own. In that moment she was a princess, so excited to see the guests arrive and show off her beautiful new dress. It was a wonderful night that was burned in her memory and it was the last memory like that, she would ever have. That was right before I lost that sweet little girl and all her innocence. I have spent a lifetime trying to find her.

Athena in Theory
Eighteen years ago, she had been named after the Greek goddess of wisdom. Her mother Alexa, a linguistics and history professor, thought she was doing her newborn daughter a favor. After all, weren’t names defining in and of themselves? Maybe Athena Scarpelli would go on to do great things that would astound her family.
