Every Day Something New. Top Story - January 2024.
Eggs are runny again. Damn it. I did exactly as I remember her doing it— cracking them one at a time into a bowl; only she never needed to fish out any broken bits or worry someone was going to eat it and rage because they scratched, dented, or otherwise broke themself on an eggshell.

It's a Hell of a Thing. Content Warning.
I killed a man with my bare hands. That’s not something I tell too many people and I’m not completely sure why I’m telling you now. There’s something in your eyes, I guess. It’s not that you look so much like someone I can trust. No, I don’t think that’s exactly it. You just strike me as the kind of person who wouldn’t care.

The Wallet. Top Story - January 2024.
The Wallet A Difficult Journey Home That girl! How many times is she going to lose me? Her teachers call her scatterbrained, ditsy, and highly frustrating. I remember once a librarian at this school told her mother after the fourth lost book in two months, "Lizzie is a sweet, wonderful young lady, but she would lose her head if it weren't tied on." Well, the last time I looked, no ties were securing her head in place, and it was still there, so that is at least one thing she hasn't lost recently.
