A Different Kind of Playdate
Microfiction superhero story
Sunbeam crashed through the wall, swinging his fist into Frostbite’s face. Frostbite soared backwards, tumbling to a halt against the pavement.
Both the hero and villain sighed as their phone alarms went off. Begrudgingly, Sunbeam helped the villain stand.
“You able to get Danny to school?”
“Yeah. Is Paul still coming to my house for their play date after school?” Frostbite hated Sunbeam, but couldn’t say the same regarding the hero’s son.
Sunbeam took his mask off. “As long as you stay out of trouble ‘til then.”
“Yes sir,” Frostbite groaned. With that, he watched the hero fly away.

Relapse
Stella sat at the kitchen table with a clear zip lock bag in front of her. For the past hour, she had been trying not to bite through her lip as she constantly switched her gaze between the contents of the bag and the clock on the wall. Eric would be home any minute now, and Stella had to try not to burst a blood vessel upon seeing him.

The Silence That Follows
“Silence is not the absence of something but the presence of everything . . . It is the presence of time, undisturbed. It can be felt within the chest. Silence nurtures our nature, our human nature, and lets us know who we are. Left with a more receptive mind and a more attuned ear, we become better listeners not only to nature but to each other. Silence can be carried like embers from a fire. Silence can be found, and silence can find you. Silence can be lost and also recovered. But silence cannot be imagined, although most people think so. To experience the soul-swelling wonder of silence, you must hear it.”― Gordon Hempton

Confessions of an Empath
The birds are chirping, and the sun is shining in a cloudless July sky. The vibrancy promises a beautiful day, but the cooing of the Mourning Dove perched on the powerlines seems to be more fitting than the lively songs of the robin flitting through the trees. The melancholic calls of the dove cloak the world in a sadness that hangs like tattered drapes.
