Some topics are designated "need to know." Those who need to know know who they are. While it ain't me, still, I do know. I figured it all out.

Embrace the Imperfect
Chapter 1: Summer's Unpredictable Promise The soft hum of cicadas filled the warm evening air as Maya sat on the porch of her grandmother's old beach house. It was the first summer she had decided to spend away from the bustling city life of New York, hoping to find a sense of peace in the small coastal town of Cape Haven. Her life had been a whirlwind of deadlines, late-night meetings, and the constant pressure to be perfect. Here, she hoped to find something different—something real and untamed, like the ocean waves crashing against the shore.

Life Therapy
My name is Dr. Jones. Dr. Bryson Jones, but you can call me Bear Hug. Not because I give bear hugs, but because I make offers to people that are so good, it’s actually illegal to refuse the offer because me and my investors can sue you, a refusal being bad for business and all.

Glance
A shadowy figure paced back-and-forth between the white willows in the north corner of the public gardens. The wooden swan boats creaked and moaned against the gentle ripples cascading from the family of bathing ducklings.

A Matter of Time
The cool air chilled us as we walked down the dark road, fallen leaves crunching beneath our feet. “Sorry about my uncle,” Hudson sighed, “He can get a bit carried away with the spirit of the holiday and all.”

The Specter's Reign
It was the first day of Fall, and the leaves had begun to crumble and break. I watched a frail, orange leaf fall slowly from a tree and onto my windshield. It was just after 11am and a ceiling of gray clouds separated the town from the sun above. Despite this, it was a fairly comfortable morning. As I drove home from therapy, I thought aimlessly of all the troubles that plagued me. I forced them out with my breath, and they clawed their way back in. I was driving on autopilot as I approached the stop sign. I saw a flicker of movement out of the corner of my eye. My speed slowed increasingly as I approached the stop sign. I had plenty of time to stop, but I didn’t. I felt a bump beneath my tires, and fear made my spine tingle. I did not stop or look back before I reached the stop sign and came to a full halt.

A Faker's Dozen. Runner-up in L*pogram Challenge.
To make a decent, crunchy, delectably soft pastry once, does not a pastry chef make. Paul found that hard truth tougher to swallow than the many uneatable breads, buns and, brazenly - a babka - he'd attempted and scorched over the past four weeks.

A Dog's Story
I do not understand the humans. Let me explain: I am “Rex” to my human, but “Steven” to my friends. I have had my human for over three years and it is a pleasant relationship, as long as I can understand the things that we are both supposed to do. I chase out the birds and squirrels, guard the space when the human is out, and make sure that this space is safe.
