What if you looked up and one of those icicles just happened to break off at the very same time? That icicle would be the last thing you saw, that’s for sure. At least out of the eye right below the icicle.

It was a new approach for him, for sure — always looking on the bright side. So when that wasp stung him, it was the wasp fulfilling its destiny. Or the new doctor getting his first wasp-sting-allergy patient. One of those.

Marian writes wrote about the word tires 1 year, 6 months ago
Every morning she takes out her broom, it’s the one with the blue handle and the duct tape wrapped around the top, and the shuffles up to the sidewalk, where she sweeps. She is not deterred by the weather, or by anything, it seems. She never tires of this, or if she does, it doesn’t [...]

She stared at her locker. She touched it. So cold. She tried to relax and let her mind go blank. What. Were. Those. Numbers. It was going to be a very long year.

Marian writes wrote about the word sacrifice 1 year, 6 months ago
Sacrificial coffee is what he called it, as he poured the entire pot down the drain. He said it was for some holy purpose, I say it was a huge waste. But maybe he’d been pulling my leg.

Marian writes wrote about the word still 1 year, 6 months ago
It was exactly 3:30 a.m. Bundled up in his parka and hat, he stepped outside. The night sky was a deep orange color, though a few stars managed to peek through the haze. The air was thick and cold. He could hear a rustle in the hedge; maybe it was a squirrel. He hoped they [...]
