Love
Horizon Pike. Content Warning.
The mud and gravel on Horizon Pike had eroded during the last wave of flooding, transforming the once familiar country road into a crooked, unforgiving coil. The wheels of Ethan’s thirty year-old '87 Chevy pickup sank in little jumps and dips as they found their way, trying as best they could to satisfy the cautious whims of their driver.

"The Sky Painted"
"The Sky Painted" There was a legend about the Painted Sky in the little community of Elmsbrook. Elders would tell children this tale while they looked up at the vivid hues of sunrise or sunset. It was supposed that the gods themselves had painted the sky many years ago. There was a catch, though: the hues of the sky were intended to be shared, a gift for everyone to enjoy. However, a self-centered artist by the name of Cael had stolen all the colors, kept them hidden in his studio, and painted only for his own pleasure. Ultimately, the sky became dark and lifeless as the gods punished him by removing the hues.

Who's Fairer
I always loved this show. I would watched. Binged watched it. And it's great because it says love is still alive and well. It shows us all what it means to be loved. And being a single mother, a single parent it really gets to me. I can't help but wonder. Sometimes I get excited and call my friends. Delores has been my friend since the beginning. I think we grew up together in college. She knows everything about me. Sometimes she called me Sis instead of Greta. And we hang out a lot. We learned a lot on our travels. And we even watched shows together. She really is my best friend. And lately we have been having so much fun especially with this show. Because we share our own doubts and feelings. We even get heated arguments. And that's when Yuen another friend has to end the fight, she really was a great co-worker. She would love spending extra time making sure everything came out ok. And she really is good at crisis intervention. And that's what she does for Delores and me. And Sammy keeps it spicy, she knows the latest and she knows a lot of culture things. She really is an excellent guide to modern things. Yup those are my smart friends that I have known for awhile. And we usually met up at each other's house. I remember one time how Delores kept her house messy while Yuen kept cleaning. And Delores got so mad that she kick Yuen out. And she said she doesn't know how to live on the edge. She doesn't know how to relax or chillax. It's like she is too perfect, a perfectionist. So then we spent the day over Yuen, And she was uptight until she had a little drink. We spiked it because we wanted her to act natural. She was just too robotic or something. But I did not know she was funny as she was and now she drink a little to loosen up. And then Sammy had too many technical things at her house. I did not know how to use the toilet. The sink was complicated too. She had like the latest gadgets and nobody knew how to use it. So we all said we were getting tired to leave her modern place. And this went on for sometime until the girls gang up on me and ask to go over my house to see the show. And I tried to make up many excuses like you wouldn't want to hang around my teenager. And my house is messy. And my cooking is a little off. But majority rules and so we spent time over my place. And I warned Julia. Julia was my only daughter. She was smart and likable. She was funny and witty. She was a dream daughter but she had her flaws. Lately she doesn't want to get old and she is having a hard time maturing. We had many talks outside the show. But Julia is in the teenage years where most kids rebel the law and want to do something else. So when my friends came over at first I made sure Julia was out at the movies or skating or dating. And finally Julia came home early and she found out that we were watching the Bachelor while eating buttery popcorn and drinking. And Julia was shocked. And she could not believe us. But Julia made a deal with me as I told her about the show and I thought she was on my side but she wasn't. She said she wanted to watch the show with me and my friends and her and her friends. And I told her finally she can but no drinking. Eventually she made the deal that the Bachelor will marry the younger woman over the older woman. And she said because she has a lot more going for her. And she is more beautiful and dreamy. And the Bachelor remind her of guys at her school. And I listen and told her don't be so sure. Older galls can be just as beautiful and wise and smart. You are an exception but not everyone else. And the day came for the finale of the Bachelor, it was shocking because the Bachelor was not only rich but also a prince. And they reminded the viewers of everything and it took hours. And we watched and nobody wanted to use the bathroom. We started to dose off until finally he chose after hours and it was the older. My friends and I were too tired to boast, we were so tired and had to work. And they left with a I told you so. Julia was disappointed but she told her friends maybe there are guys out there who love smart and witty women. Like Mom said you never know
