Shattered
It was a lovely spring day, May 24, 1994. I clicked on the television to watch Jackie Onassis's funeral. My two month old son Max was on my shoulder fighting sleep as I sat down to watch and pay my respects. I felt sad for Jackie’s children. The camera panned to them, Caroline with her children and John Jr. holding the hand of his beautiful young wife; his head slightly bowed and his forehead furrowed. Both he and his sister were dignified and composed as befitted children of a former POTUS. This wasn’t their first time at a very public funeral and it would not be the last.

The Little Black Book
Hollis was in a funk. It was the second semester of his junior year and all classes had been cancelled. Anxiety was as much a pandemic as Covid-19; even his non-cannabis using friends had given in this year and tried it. He sat on the couch and listened to Lo-fi while he attempted to study for one of his online classes. The gloomy weather and freezing temperature weren’t helping his mood. He tried not to brood over his recent break up with his boyfriend Jacob.
