The Push And Pull Of Life
Simone Wellington sat listening to her older sister Cleona, who was complaining and crying. "Why is my life like this? I should have married Brian Coswell? I would be bathing in money. I shouldn't have done that? I wished I did this. It's my parents' fault. They should have done more for me. It's my teacher's fault; they didn't understand me. It's the world's fault; it wasn't ready for me."

Touching A Heart
This is my Sweetsop Tree. It’s one of my favorite fruits. I planted it myself and watched it grew from a seedling to a monster of a tree. It spreads out on the street and next door, giving shade from the Sun and a cool breeze when it’s hot. It bears more than three times per year, providing many feasts for birds, rats, and humans annually. Sweetsop trees are common here in Jamaica and are in many yards.

With their masks on, glancing around, not seeing Moses, Orville alerts, hoisting the M16 assault rifle in the air, shouting, "We don't want to kill anyone. We want your money, not your life.

A Fighter's Miracle Part 1
Smoke tickled the nostrils of 12-year-old Moses Swift as he snored in his sleep. Then, unconsciously, he turns to the other side, and the smoke followed him burning his eyes.

Creativity Has Reasons
Creativity has reasons, and poverty, being deprived of the basics in life have forced me to be creative. Yes, I am telling the truth. Growing up in a culture where the female body is an asset, and for some, it’s the only asset they got. My choice is, I can use my body or my brain to achieve what I want. Using my body would limit my options, control of my life and robs me of happiness. Using my brains won’t. Looking good or beautiful is very important to many females here. Costly too.
