Doubts at the Deadline. Top Story - September 2024.
The Day of the Deadline Today was the last day to put forward my efforts. To say I was lacking in confidence was an understatement. It would be more realistic to say I was as close to just missing the deadline completely and being done with it all. To put it plainly, I was completely and utterly petrified. This wasn't even my first rodeo, so to speak, but my nerves never seemed to get any easier to manage. Still, though I wanted to put my work forward. Glutton for punishment, maybe? Even if I didn't win anything, which, of course, would be nice I sure I still had something of worth to share. However, I am left sitting here, as I have done so often in the past as the clock ticks towards the deadline, wondering if I actually really genuinely believe that or if I am just kidding myself that I am any good.

The Ghost & The Bus Driver
Eight months pregnant, alone, but not lonely. My mind was focused on preparing my apartment for the November arrival of a newborn. Once a month I allowed myself a shopping trip on the bus after going to my doctor's appointment. I didn't have much money left after groceries and rent but I always had enough for a few baby necessities.

All Izz Well
Raining drastically, she felt like stepping out. She wanted to be out of her home and also not get drenched. Maybe a warm cup of chocolate, she thought. She stepped out with her big, colorful umbrella representing the LGBTQ Pride. Filled with an iffy mood of not wanting any raindrops on her, she held her umbrella closer to her. But then, the rain was pouring heavily, and she felt wet from all her sides. She wanted to be away, a getaway to escape from getting drenched, but she determined not to go home. She looked around, but nothing interesting came up. Nothing caught her eye, and the cafe she wanted to go to, seemed crowded.
