Love and sacrifice
Once upon a time, in a quaint little village nestled amidst rolling hills, there lived a young couple named Amelia and Benjamin. Their love was the stuff of legends, whispered about by the villagers as they marveled at their unwavering devotion. Amelia was a talented artist, her brushstrokes capturing the essence of life's beauty, while Benjamin was a skilled musician, his melodies weaving tales of joy and sorrow. One fateful day, tragedy struck the village. A terrible drought plagued the land, withering crops and leaving the villagers in despair. The village elder declared that a sacrifice must be made to appease the gods and bring rain to their parched fields. The villagers were torn, for they knew that the sacrifice would be a person chosen by lottery. Amelia and Benjamin, their hearts heavy with love for their community, decided to take matters into their own hands. They approached the village elder and offered themselves as the sacrifice, believing that their love was strong enough to save their village. The elder, moved by their selflessness, reluctantly agreed. As the day of sacrifice approached, the villagers gathered in the town square, their eyes filled with tears for the couple they held dear. Amelia and Benjamin stood hand in hand, their love radiating like a beacon of hope. The villagers watched in awe as the couple embraced, whispering words of love and encouragement to one another. Just as the sun began to set, a gentle rain began to fall. The villagers rejoiced, their spirits lifted by the sight of the long-awaited raindrops. But their joy was short-lived, for they soon realized that Amelia and Benjamin were nowhere to be found. Unbeknownst to the villagers, the couple had made a pact. They had decided that if their sacrifice brought rain, they would escape together and start a new life far away from the village. They had chosen love over duty, believing that their love could create miracles. As the days turned into weeks, the villagers anxiously awaited the outcome of the couple's sacrifice. The sun beat down relentlessly, and the crops withered away, leaving the land barren and desolate. Doubt began to creep into the minds of the villagers, questioning whether their faith in the couple's love was misplaced. But just when hope seemed lost, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a gentle breeze whispered through the village. The first droplets of rain fell, slowly at first, then turning into a torrential downpour. The villagers rejoiced, their faces beaming with gratitude and relief. They knew in their hearts that it was the couple's unwavering love that had brought this much-needed rain, rejuvenating their land and their spirits. Amelia and Benjamin found themselves in a distant land, where they built a humble cottage by the sea. They spent their days creating art and music, their love growing stronger with each passing moment. They knew they had made the right choice, for their sacrifice had not only saved their village but had also given them a chance at a life filled with love and happiness. Years later, a weary traveler stumbled upon the village that had once been plagued by drought. He marveled at the lush fields and the laughter that filled the air. Curiosity led him to the village elder, who shared the tale of Amelia and Benjamin's sacrifice. The traveler, moved by their story, set out to find the couple and share the news of their village's prosperity. After a long journey, he arrived at the cottage by the sea. Amelia and Benjamin, now old and gray, welcomed him with open arms, their eyes filled with tears of joy. The couple listened intently as the traveler recounted the tale of their village's revival. They held each other tightly, grateful for the love that had guided them on their journey. They knew that their sacrifice had not been in vain, for it had not only saved their village but had also brought them a lifetime of love and fulfillment. And so, the tale of Amelia and Benjamin's love and sacrifice lived on, inspiring generations to choose love over duty, and reminding them that sometimes, the greatest miracles are born from the depths of the heart.

By the erratic thread of an illusion
I sift through the panels of prospective partners and wonder just what the hell my mother was thinking with this charade. The pictures don't matter—women showing off their teeth in white arrays, hairstyles that defy the imagination (and gravity), too little or too much make-up from the Generation Markets—but I find myself searching for something. That something, well, perhaps I don't exactly know what it is yet.

Buttons
The first time Eve told me that she loved me, she said it in the most 'Eve' way imaginable. It was the fourth of July. A warm and lovely night. We'd wandered off, arm in arm, to get away from our group. We'd gone just far enough to escape the crowd but not so far that we couldn't see the colorful explosions in the night sky. Standing, I was holding her in my arms and watching her as she watched the fireworks. I watched the light of the fireworks dancing in her light blue eyes.

Bless Her Heart
You can fall in love with a rich boy as easy as a poor one. That’s what Mother always said. Even so, she married a poor city boy and began a life of blue-collar poverty, ending up with a houseful the likes of us. She shared plenty of motherisms she said I needed to hear growing up: “Boys don’t like girls smarter than them” and “Become a nurse—America needs more nurses.” Never missed a chance to outwit my dad. Never became a nurse either. Since she hadn’t followed her own advice about anything, I didn’t feel inclined to myself. I’d soon learn that preconceptions, hers and mine, about boys, rich and poor, were as useful as cauliflower in your pole corn.
