Delivery
The smell of pizza hit Chris the moment he opened the door. Someone in the back heard the bell tinkle and stepped up to the cash register to take his order. Chris took off his rain-soaked baseball cap and heard the water it hadn't absorbed hit the tiled floor.

I Drink of My Sisters
Three friends and I walk into the woods. It's a hot July day. We remembered sunscreen but not insect repellant. I've got the picnic basket, which doesn't have a meal for us. It's full of candles, incense, matches, seashells, feathers, a rusty steak knife, a quilting pin, a coffee mug, and a half-empty bottle of grape juice.

Wards Against the Witch
Dew clung to their boots and the hems of their dresses and petticoats as Frederica Vernon and her aunt, Mrs Catherine Vernon, walked around from the stables after their morning ride. Exercise in the fresh morning air had been such a relief to Frederica. She had lately spent too much time confined indoors, guarded and stifled by her mother's spells.

Interview with Playwright Pu-on Tim
After the wild success of his debut play Lu and Wumei two summers ago, the eyes of the artistic world have been on playwright Pu-on Tim. He followed his romantic history with the critically acclaimed Small Foot, Giant Step last summer. Now, he has spent seven months researching and writing his latest play. He spoke with members of the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, and Fire Nation, in order to write about Avatar Aang, "the Last Airbender." Tim has just announced the play is called The Boy in the Iceberg, opening next week with the Ember Island Players.

Dad's Hierarchy of Needs
I know that it's almost 6 AM, because my cat Tracy is purring loudly and shoving her head against my shoulder. I make the sweet little girl wait until my watch buzzes at exactly 6:00, but she is almost as punctual as my wake-up alarm. She darts between my feet as I carefully step to the kitchen and place her breakfast in her bowl.

Gaston on Reddit
GASTON: WIBTA (would I be the a-hole) if I (24m) got my love interest's (17f) father committed unless she accepted my proposal of marriage? She's the prettiest girl in my town, and the only one who doesn't fawn over me. I'm a hunter, a real alpha male, and I must pursue and obtain the best of the best. But this girl just isn't interested! I've tried telling her what she is supposed to want in life. I've tried to paint the picture of our marital bliss (hunting dogs! half a dozen sons!). I even tried surprising her with the grand romantic gesture of a surprise wedding. And nothing! All she cares about is her books and her kooky old father. I figure I can impress her with my superiority if she has to rely on me to keep dear ol' dad out of an asylum. My friends think it's a good idea but some jerk in the tavern mentioned "coercion" and "manipulation" like they were bad things. WIBTA?
