Stop Losing Things
When Sasha was six, she had a much enduring conductor’s cap that continuously went missing. The white and blue stripes spent evenings abandoned under splintered see-saws or camouflaged under empty quarter water containers in her backpack. When she noticed its absence, usually while eating dinner on the couch, she’d spill the side dish of corn in her Banquet frozen meal tray in her hurry to find it. Andrei, three years older, told his sister to shut up her crying and searched with her, staying up after she’d gone to sleep clutching the hat, to wipe the couch and turn the lights out. On these occasions, Sasha fell asleep believing that Andrei had hidden the hat on purpose.

Of course
Every morning, Ashley Corta brushed her teeth, combed her eyebrows and painted her front door before driving to work. Some days it was burnt lavender or baked pumpkin, others it was cobalt blue or rich grapefruit; but she always returned after midnight, crossing the front porch of her single story Craftsman house and unlocking the door when everything was dark and colorless.
