A Little Dirt
Photo Credit: Judey Kalchik Every week, I've wanted to ask about the boots, but every week I chickened out. I clean houses. Mr. Peterson hired me a few months ago, after his wife moved into assisted living. He's pretty able-bodied for his age, but his wife insisted he bring someone in to do part of the housework. Mr. Peterson told me she doesn't want him to wear himself out. Experience tells me she doesn't want him to get too lonely.

Dancing in the Snow
I felt the crunch of crisp snow under my feet in the fresh layers. Shoveling was my chore as I headed out with my shovel on this wintery day. Little crunches were behind me, and who did I see? My little girl bundled up, jumping in my footsteps and laughing. Her tiny boot prints are in mine.

The Real Magic behind "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by W. Shakespeare
A group of young individuals clandestinely venture into the forest, where they consume substances that alter their state of mind. They then experience a change in their romantic relationships and encounter beings from an alternate dimension. "A Midsummer's Night's Dream" showcases Shakespeare's exploration of psychedelia, resulting in a delightful experience both on stage and in written form. Originally performed in the 1590s, this play stands out as one of Shakespeare's most playful works, brimming with deception, insanity, and enchantment. Unfolding over the course of a single night, "Midsummer" maintains a lively pace. The plot revolves around collisions and disintegrations, as characters from different realms are brought together and torn apart. Shakespeare employs these patterns to satirize the characters' self-absorption and challenge authority in a comical manner.

Sara Jayne. Top Story - January 2024.
I remember sitting in that crowded bin for the longest time. Everyone ignored me. Soon, all my neighbors were gone. I was the last one left. Christmas was only a few days away. At least, that's what everyone in the store was saying. I didn't know what that meant. All I knew was that the people seemed to be getting angrier and greedier by the minute, so Christmas must be a terrible thing.
