The Dog Days of Fall
The puppies were whining. Whimpering. The high pitched sounds of babies hungry for milk. They hadn’t even opened their eyes yet, he knew. New births. He could smell them. Could see the burlap bulge and move with their squirming, their tiny bodies weighing next to nothing in the sack he held by the knotted and bunched cloth in his hands.

The Difference Between 9/11 and Covid-19
It seems like every American has a story about 9/11. The memory of that morning is seared in the collective consciousness of an entire nation. It's not because of national pride. That day was the embodiment of trauma, a horror that unfolded in real time on the national news, a tragedy that struck straight to the heart with its brutal reminder of mortality's callous indifference.
