For Sam. Runner-up in L*pogram Challenge. Top Story - August 2024.
You’re hungry. A growl rumbles through your stomach and along your bones. Not unbearable, not yet. But soon. And aches grow all over, your calves and ankles and knees jolt and jump as they slam the pavement. Over and over. God, how you hate to run.

The Gnome
What do you do when you want to get away from it all? Take a cruise! Yes, you take a cruise to get away from all the stress and nonsense of your daily life, like that neighbour who hates what you have added to your own home (the one that is fully paid for and owned by you). You are proud of the aluminum siding, the flamingos (only three), and the decorations that are seasonal and tasteful. But most of all, you are proud of Norman; your Norm.

A Song To Remember
For as long as he could remember, Samuel had viewed life to a melody. The day he could speak, he sang. His voice was a gift, a soothing balm that he poured into the small crowds of people that gathered at local gigs, and his dreams were expansive as the skies he sang about. One day, huge concert halls would be filled by his voice, but now his stage was the tiny café at the corner of 5th and Elm, where each night he poured his heart out to a room of strangers and friends. Lucy was the type who strayed very little as she walked in purpose and precision through life. Being a doctor, she was used to picking at the intricacies of human frailty and gluing together shattered fragments that were once her patients' lives. Her days were filled with the cadence of the hospital, and her nights almost always found her nose-deep in books or volunteering at free clinics. Though in her high-demanding schedule, somewhere she saved a spot for music, a carryover from childhood when she wanted to be a concert pianist.

Fall From Greatness. Top Story - August 2024.
Amazed, Shocked, Horrified, Delighted. To those who knew him well, the word “pleased” was used to describe his final decision, although it ended the way it did.
