The Rising SunRunner-Up in the Improbable Paradise Challenge
Beneath, soft white sand. Behind, birds and monkeys chattered, already awake in the pale gray of false dawn. In front, waves broke upon the coral reefs.

Mittsie and the Candelabra
This is one of my earliest memories. I was in the living room of our home, the one my parents bought right before I was born and has been in the family for the past 27 years. My mom was on the couch watching some TV program. I don’t recall which show it was.
