A Priceless Inheritance
Knock. Knock. Knock. “Stella? You up?” I heard the muffled words and pulled the blanket over my head. I heard the door open and the sound of footsteps across the floor. The metal raking against metal was like nails on a chalkboard as a stream of light illuminated the floral pattern on my blanket.

What Is Divorce?
DIVORCE Separation, or"disintegration of marriage," is the valid end of their conjugal relationship.

Grandpa, Is that You?
He was sitting by the windows, alone, sipping a cup of coffee and studying the menu. I was early for a conference on Hispanic Excellence in Television at the studio across the street, so I stopped in for some breakfast. We were both alone. I was dressed to impress, wearing a pressed green and black suit. He was comfortable in a wrinkled blue shirt, old tennis shoes and a dull gold band on the ring finger of his weathered left hand. Every now and again, he would push his wire-rimmed glasses up his nose.

I just want want to say ‘’Hi Dad’’.
I remember this day clearly, like it was yesterday and I took this picture of my Dad. I remember seeing him go into the cement pier on his own like he wanted to go for a swim, which he hadn’t done in too many years due to his above knee leg amputation and diabetes wounds on his remaining leg. My Dad was a proud man that was never satisfied with anything that made him feel weak or less than anyone else. Since his first heart attack and leg amputation he had changed to someone I did not recognize. He was weak but he always tried hard to push himself to be able to do more, I don’t think his heart helped him at all after the second attack.

Closure of Broken Chains
Looking over my small crew of about twenty, they have followed my lead as I began the gang after dropping out of high school a year back. School wasn’t for me as I never learned anything. It was all gibberish to me...there was a time when I loved to learn, but those days have passed.

Messages for a Lifetime
There it is, the car that I always dreamed of buying but couldn’t afford. I’ve driven by this lot so many times in the past 2 years, but have never pulled in. Today, I pull in. Today, I inquire about the car. Today, I plan to test drive this car. The dark red shines in the sun light, as the dark window tint blocks seeing inside of it. As many times as I’ve dreamed of driving this car, owning this car, even just sitting in it, the reality of this happening was not likely.

Grandmother's eyes
A white house with windows into a pink-walled home, a creaky wooden deck holds a white wooden bench with paint chipping off. We sit as the sun sets with orange, yellow, and red after a day of work. The door with an iron ‘C’ marking my grandmother’s house open to let a musky air out from the spoiled food and moldy sponges, running a small hand over the iron as the adults handle the musk. I was young, like anyone would be when she watched me as my mother went off to adventures unknown. We made cookies in her absence, I cleaned my grandmother’s glasses’ for once, played with an old telephone wrapped in cloth, and on that white wooden bench with paint chipping off we creaked as my mother pulled up again.
