The Birds Aren’t Real
I’ve had the same dream for three weeks: It’s a bright Spring day in Buffalo, Wyoming and I walk along the Clear Creek Trail. The air is clean and clear, and the trees rustle in a light breeze. The creek shooshes to my left as I head West. I feel calm and at peace in the yellow-green light of spring. The sounds of birds overcome the dull rush of distant cars, then my attention is drawn to a bird on a limb. A robin. I stop and look, admiring the creature. It looks at me, adjusting its focus to a side-eyed tilt, then its eye opens like a camera aperture.

She wished she was there, where the air would smell of lilacs rather than smoke.

Love is a Shitload of Work. Runner-Up in Love Unraveled Challenge.
Love… is a shitload of work. This is most likely because ‘love’ is a verb and not a nouny feeling like we want to believe. If love were a noun, it would be simpler to understand because nouns are straight forward and honest; self-centered, to be sure, but with a noun you can be certain what kind of person, place, or thing you’re getting.
