Help Fund Me
I took a quick peek through the small gap between my curtains. I was very cautious. I didn't want to be spotted. There were several reporters out there in the street. A crowd had also gathered and was contributing to the heat.

Have you ever felt as if you had another life somewhere out in the universe? Not just any life, but a better one than you already have. I’ve always thought my grandmother had one. She used to tell me stories about the times she spent on the Titanic ship. That was before its tragedy of course. My Abuela mentioned that the summer of 1912 was a life-changing moment for her. I never knew why, until my family had a gathering one late night around spring.

Safe Travels
Marcie looked out through the cracks of the crate she found herself in, breath coming in short pants. Her fingers were numb from the cold, the cargo bay a cool temperature to keep the extra food good, but she waited for a chance to leave her safe haven. The people around the crates were finishing the last of the cargo count and left, the lights turning off overhead and leaving only a deafening silence.

Almost Down
When I was eight, I saw the red and blue lights zooming past me. I froze in place, unsure of whether or not to continue. My mother’s carriage had tugged me a little. She didn’t realize I had stopped in my tracks.
