Lavender and Apples
She had fallen through the cracks. Just one more old woman, with nothing to show for her life but a shopping cart full of old clothes and canned goods, and a toothless grin. As darkness drew near, she parked her cart close to a live oak tree in the city park. She was careful to chock the wheels with rocks to make it more difficult to steal her belongings as she slept.

Wake Up, Love
"Wake up, love," A voice said to me. "Who are you, and why do I really need to use the bathroom," I said. "I'm your wife. You've been in a coma for three months. You were hit by a truck," She said. "I'm up now," I said. "We missed you," she said. "Who's we?" I asked. "Me and the kids," she said. "Oh hey, guys," I said. "You smell, daddy," My youngest said. "I'll go shower," I said. I got up, showered, and spent the rest of the day catching up with my wonderful family. It's really good being awake.
