What You’re Missing
You know what you’re gaining. A little more time at home, time with your family or your dog or your lover. Precious things. But those are all inward facing, insular. You have more time to hang out with your friends, the ones you chose. The ones you’re comfortable with. But those are not the people […]

Thanks A Lot
The cop came into the house without knocking. Not because we were having a wild party, (though he thought we might be). No, he came in because our cars were parked all over the neighborhood, in the snow covered streets blocking residents from getting to their homes. Reasonable enough. The second thing he saw when […]

The Doctor Is On The Lift
I skied over to the bottom of the lift, timing my speed so that I could ski right past the “wait here” line and up to the loading line without stopping. Done right, you come to a smooth stop right as the chair comes up behind you. It was nighttime; patches of light dotted the […]

It’s In The Can, Man
My god, you’re always losing focus. First you’re distracted by the seals, now by the group of girls, all dressed up and on their lunch break. You shake your head and check the split time on your watch. Not too bad. A little off pace but its flat for awhile so you can make it […]

HR Issue
Peter was staring at Melody, his friend and the Director of Human Resources. He was trying to remember how much he enjoyed working with her, but right now he was stupefied.

Fish Out of Water – Writing Prompt
Sister Agnes looked around “Reverend Mother are you sure this is a good idea? It’s…I mean…it’s…” Mother Natalie looked at the younger sister “gross and disgusting.
