Darkness turns its head away from light. The old lady walks daily past my window. She stops to say hello. Her face with deep wrinkles looks up at me. Tears in her eyes as she begins to speak. Memories flash in her mind as if she was 20 again. Her tattered multicolored dress flows in the warm breeze of the sunny day. She walks daily, reliving her youth in her mind as the tears return. Sunlight shines on her face, and her tears evaporate. A smile appears from the wrinkles that 90 years had sculpted in her long history.

Ends With a Bang
First Time Have you ever had one of those days where everything goes wrong? I mean, from the time you first get out of bed, till the time you wake up again the next morning, everything is really, really bad. You hit your toe getting out of bed. While jumping around, you step on your glasses. You burn your breakfast. You miss your bus. You’re robbed while walking to work. You’re fired for being late. You return home only to find an eviction notice on your door. You go to bed without dinner. You left your food cooking on the stove. Your house catches fire while you sleep. Murphy’s law. Everything that can go wrong, has gone wrong. This was not one of those days.
