Nowhere Else to Go
It was 1936 in Southeast Colorado. Black Sunday was now a memory that lingered hard for us. Most had moved on long before now, not quite knowing where they were headed. Anywhere but here seemed good enough.

The Mass Card
The box was left on her doorstep at some point in the night. She spotted it as she went out the front door to get the newspaper. One of the last of a dying breed, reading the paper everyday gave her a sense of stability and was an important part of the routine she established over the years. She picked up the small square box wrapped in brown paper and tied with ordinary kitchen twine. What made this box so special was the intricate drawings that encompassed the entire package. Beautiful hand drawn flowers – roses, hydrangeas, lilies, and daisies. Vines and leaves, trees, and stalks. Who would send her such a box, such an obvious gift. Just her name and address appeared, no return label. Stamped by the post office – Express Delivery – Handle with Care. Total cost $8.54.

Move aside, Hollywood blockbusters; the independent film community is coming back strong! Hostage House, directed by David Benullo, was just released to Netflix, and proves that you don’t need flashy effects or loud car chases to make an entertaining film. Sometimes, all you need is a handful of talented actors, a beautiful house, and a cameraman and director who know what they’re doing (i.e no shaky cam THANK GOD!)

'It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages'

However, there are the odd and rare occasions when we experience something so special, we never want it to end.

Since as far back as I can remember, yarn has been a part of my life. I remember getting pulled out of Kindergarten to learn how to finger crochet a long chain. I remember the woman who taught me had a stroke earlier on, so half her face was paralyzed. She had a piece of metal in her eyelid to help her blink. I was told the finger crocheting was to help keep me focused in class. I loved it and gladly taught the skill to anyone who wanted to learn. I still am astounded that humans came up with ways to turn one string into many, and the many woven together to form ropes and yarn. I can't imagine being the person who figured how to make a cloth out of a single thread.

Don't you ever say
Why would he ever? “Where are you now?” Megan asked. Dorothea looked up and down the busy city street. She was somewhere between a depressing looking café and a depressing looking pharmacy. Dorothea was nervous. She didn’t want to be here, and now she was late and lost. In her desperation, she had called the psychiatrist’s office, but the receptionist had gone home early. The psychiatrist picked up. Every little mistake Dorothea made felt like another cross against her name.
