Uri's choice
Sunlight caught Uri’s eye in a blast forcing him to look away. The brightness that crept across the floor, erupting a blinding brilliance onto anything shiny, was like a timer set to keep him from thinking about work too much. It had also forced the little black notebook in the seat across from him into his field of view. He snatched up his backpack and moved across the empty aisle, plopping down next to the book. He glanced around the gate again as if he hadn’t made sure it was empty when he decided to set up there. His flight was to leave in an hour provided the airline didn’t delay it again. Uri had walked past his boarding gate, seeing it packed full of waiting passengers, choosing instead to wait here. He secluded himself yet stayed within earshot of any announcements about his flight. He hated the crowds. And despite knowing he wouldn’t be able to avoid the way people cluster in poor attempts at lines the first moment of boarding, he could at least avoid the calamity until the last minute.

The Art Prize
Taylor stared at the girl in the pond. Ensnared by her haunted expression. Mesmerised by the way the water pulled the fabric of her dress taut against her stomach like fingers tearing her down and pushing her under. The girl was caught unawares. The shock of her imminent death rippling over her face beneath rivulets of clear gesso that trapped her beneath the glossy surface of the canvas.

Lincoln of the Zig Zag Boondocks
Where the upper-middle class suburbs and the gloomy stacks of the industrial complexes met laid Lincoln. He kept his head cradled in the rough canvas of his backpack as the shadow of the tree he was under slowly disappeared into the darkness of approaching dusk. He was waiting for nightfall; the brightening headlights of passing cars let him know it was coming soon. He didn’t want to go home so he stayed outside. Given he had just recently graduated high-school and relinquished the option of college he stayed out, giving his mom the illusion he was doing something with his life.

Leash Slack
You know, I’ve never walked my dog without thinking about how similar it is to raising a kid. I don’t think you should ever really walk your dog, but you also can't let your dog walk you. Dogs are never wrong, that’s the thing. They’re all instinct, baby. Sometimes you gotta let ‘em chase a scent, but then sometimes you gotta hold ‘em back, you know? Those sons of bitches—haha.

My Teacher, Monet
“A dolphin swimming in a vast ocean— no, a pink dolphin swimming in a vast ocea—a pink three eyed dolphin swimming in a vast ocean? Agh! Why is it so difficult to come up with something meaningful to paint?” Julissa barked at herself with a pink colored pencil in one hand and the other clenched in a fist.

A Paint Stroke of Luck
It was a life or death situation. Fay had to have it. This is why she went to these auctions. Her love of art lured her to the excitement of what new piece could be hers, even though she should’ve been saving up for the art studio that she so desperately craved.

The Black Book
“Do I hear twenty-five thousand… twenty-five thousand? Offering the diary of Sien Hoornik, girlfriend of Vincent Van Gogh. Last bid is twenty-thousand… twenty-thousand. Fair warning. Going once… going twice…” The knock of the gavel: “Sold! On the phone… twenty thousand!” It was late in the afternoon, and my prized possession was sold.

A Carved Box
Despite the overcast skies and the threat of rain, the estate sale that day is large, covering at least an acre with farm equipment, wooden furniture, and everything in between with a large turnout. Among them, Caroline, who owns two thrift stores, isn’t interested in the farm equipment and other big things instead, she watches for the boxes of miscellaneous stuff – these are where the hidden treasures are found – in her opinion, with over 12-years-experience guiding her choices. Occasionally, she’ll buy a trunk or small desk for the possible treasures within.
