Lonesome Road
Sarah stood at the top of the hill, waiting. For what, she didn’t know, maybe a sign from above. But there aren’t always signs to guide you in a tough decision: what is right and is possible aren’t always aligned. She thought about this while facing the two-lane highway. A lone car whooshed as it went by.

My Name is Baby Yaya
My name, as it was given to me, is Baby Yaya. I am blond-haired and blue-eyed, with eyes that open and close. I was born in a cardboard box and stood on a shelf among many others for quite some time, looking across the aisle at some attractive stuffed pets.

Gypsy
Draft Synopsis: When Nellie's dog Gypsy, the last link to her home and husband, dies, she gradually begins to pursue the photography career she gave up when her husband died-the result of a drunk driver's error. Her daughter June, now grown, with her own life, is in contact but seldom visits. As Nellie finds new ways to make her photography and her perception of her life relevant to others in a world that has changed from analog to digital, lessons she absorbed from observing her dog Gypsy begin to inform and inspire her work.
