Under Her Art Studio
Amayelynn woke to a cold, empty bed, noting immediately that the light filtering in through the blinds was too bright and too yellow. It was the kind of too-bright yellow that indicated at least an hour past the time her alarm was set for; an hour late. She jumped out of bed, feeling her heart stutter at her sudden upright position. She scrambled to climb into whatever clothing articles her hands first found in the closet, while running through which items of her morning routine could be postponed or skipped altogether. Brushing teeth and showering could wait until the kids were off to school. They would have to eat breakfast, though. It would be a cereal kind of morning.

The Blue and the Grey
Grayson had just shit himself. This happens from time to time with young children who are potty training. Unfortunately for his mother the shit had erupted from his diapers and gotten into the carpet in his room. Little Grayson was crying, after all nobody wants to be walking around with crap in their pants. Mom was almost in tears too. Shit on her baby and all over the room. Young mothers have an incredible ability to multitask. It comes with the territory. She consoled and changed her crying son while simultaneously scrubbing and cleaning fecal matter out of the carpet. It was truly an incredible site to behold.

My Passage of Time
I’m four-years-old. Now I’m graduating from high school. I just earned my PhD. I’m a dean at Delaware Technical Institute of Technology. I meet my wife. She has two of my children. They’re in middle school. They just graduated from college. I am retiring from my role as dean. My wife dies. I’m beginning to show signs of Alzheimer’s disease. What was I trying to say? I know it had to do something with my grandchildren. I can’t recall their names. I’m at a home for the invalids…I think. That’s what they told me, anyway. I’m dying. Death comes. Dead.

Daddy's Girl - Chapter One
Charles regretted not answering the phone. Charles Michaelson, Head Project Engineering Manager for a pharmaceutical company called Pharmacy Red, was sitting in an executive conference room with large window panels, blue carpeting, and a long, wooden table in the middle of the room; a typical corporate conference room. Charles was sitting alone on one side of the table while five directorial managers, all working for a medical machinery company - M&T Medical Supplies- were sitting across from Charles. Their ironed, wrinkle-free suits rival the singular man’s long-sleeved, buttoned-up slate shirt and black pants with the brown dressy shoes.
