Black as Oil
A black man observes machine learning at a fracking site.
The board restored fracking in Delaware. As black as oil himself, Silo Vortex enjoyed the freedom of extracting the fossil fuel like the Texas Tea. From the second largest state to the second smallest state.
In his home state of Delaware, he found himself going down to the site and witnessing the machines. The machine learning of these particular sets of robots looked like nothing he had ever witnessed.
He looked at the natural gas as it expelled from the inner recesses of the earth.
A smile made his teeth seem whiter against his black flesh. He shook hands readily.

Liminal: occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold. OED
Bonbons in a glass jar tempt me; a jar of chopped-up rainbow. I swirl a yellow one around my mouth, expect the zing and tang of fresh lemon. I spit it into my hand when no one is looking and bury it in a potted ficus by the TV set. I hate bananas. My husband devours them instead of crisps and candy. I smell them on his clothes; just a hint, through wood spice aftershave and whiskey.

Chasing Dreams on the High Banks
It was a humid summer evening at the Talladega Superspeedway, the setting sun casting a golden glow over the sprawling Alabama racetrack. The roar of engines filled the air as thousands of passionate fans gathered to witness the spectacle that was NASCAR. Among the crowd was a young boy named Jake, who clung tightly to his father's hand, his eyes filled with awe and wonder.
