A Night in Eternity
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. "Shhhh, be quiet," Lola, whispered. She was the most timid of the four teenagers seated on the dusty oak floorboards. The candle's glow flickered across her ringlets, though in this light you couldn't tell if they were blonde or pale copper. She shifted in her seat, clearly uncomfortable about being here.

Step Right Up
Harry hated clowns. Their garish painted faces loomed at him from childhood memories. Creepy beings, powdery paint disguising the human beneath, presenting a fixed mask to the world. Too bright, too loud, too in-your-face, all fake emotion and impenetrable motives: you couldn't tell what they were thinking. "They're there to entertain, to make people happy, Harry," his mother would insist, eyes crinkling in amusement. But bunches of bright daises that pushed into his personal space and squirted water up his nose did not seem designed to make him happy.

Pieces of Home
Home is the old Steinberg piano, with the high D a little sharper than it ought to be. A little like me. It's the road I used to know well, though there's a new billboard on it now; the promise of problems solved, for a price. The problems change, so does the price, but the earth beneath it does not.
