My Mama's Secrets
I knew I should have worn pants instead of shorts, but the house was sweltering. The air conditioning unit was broken, the ceiling fans didn’t work, and it was the middle of summer in Georgia. My shirt clung to my back drenched in sweat. The hardwood floor bit into my knees as I kneeled and looked into yet another box that my mother had tossed useless stuff in.

Ticker
The sun began to rise and pierce through the dirty windows of the cluster of houses located on the city's edge. Within the least dirty house sat two parents looking at a phone lying in the center of the table. A girl cautiously peers around the corner into the kitchen and inches her way to the kitchen table where her parents are already seated. As she sits down, she pulls her knees to her chest and notices that the kitchen still looks the same as it did from dinner last night. Her mom was still in her robe that she put on last night, the same as her dad. And as her parents stayed in the kitchen, she sat and on her bed, sick with worry waiting for an acceptable time to leave her room.
