So Close, And So They Begin, (An Excerpt) . Content Warning.
He heard the sound, the loud, pained moan. He stopped scraping the tree bark he was collecting. "Hello?" He called. "S-someone there?" He heard another soft groan. He started walking in the direction. As he got closer, the groans turned to whimpers. They came into clear view of each other. He tucked his book into his pocket, and crouched down, meeting the wounded deer in the bear trap at eye level. "Looks like you got yourself into a bit of a pickle." He scooted himself a little closer. The doe didn't move. "That looks like it hurts pretty badly." She let out a little whimper. "I can help you with that." He inched a little closer, reaching into his other pocket, pulling out a vial. He broke the wax around the cork. The doe remained still. He crept closer and closer.

One Small Treat. Content Warning.
When your husband is in the Air Force and stationed on the Gulf Of Mexico, you wouldn't think anything could go wrong. Our two young boys and I loved the beach and it was an inexpensive way to keep them entertained during the hot Mississippi summer.

When Water is Everything
There was a line of people at the front of the room who were both supposed to be there and weren't. One was a man, about forty, and the other two were his children. The girl was 14, the boy 18--and in the long box beside them, as if sleeping, lay the man's wife and the children's mother.

Head Above Water
From the moment I first saw her, I never knew how much she'd have an impact on my life after everything I had been through. I had come so far away from the west coast of LA to east coast of South Carolina to escape from the toxic family I had grown up with. I never thought after being in college for 5 years this is what it truly feels like to start over again with no one even knowing who you are.

A Small Act of Kindness
As we age, things become more complex. We can only see our ability to do so many things. A young family had moved next and had taken care of the more arduous chores. In the day, I was capable and raised my kids, but age got ahold of me. I used to be able to keep up with everything, but my husband is not doing so well either. The maintenance of things is only getting more complicated. At least we have neighborly help. The neighbor is a much younger man and will mow the lawn when he does his lawn. It is a significant help with my husband’s heart problems that the more physical work was not safe. Time can be so cruel when things start to change. I was young and agile, but now I can hardly move with the condition.
