White Sundresses and Elevators
White Sundresses and Elevators The street lights shone on the wet sidewalk reflecting up at his eyes, he glanced at his watch it read 7:40. Although the rain had stopped, he decided to take a cab instead of walking the 9 blocks to the restaurant. He’d make it on time but for the 10 bucks it’ll cost to take a cab it’s worth it. A snap of his fingers, his hand raised in the air, and a loud yelp “TAXI”! One pulled up rather quickly as it was just at the end of the street.

Starting Forever
It was slowly coming on 5:00 pm... as she paced back and forth anxiously awaiting for his arrival. No idea what to even expect. Would he want to just stay in and awkwardly sit on the couch staring at each other? Being this was the first time they’d finally get to touch, and actually be face to face finally after so many months of a long distance online kind of thing... but she just knew they would someday get to this moment.

Flames of Unforgivable Fury
I wish this tale were happy in some way. I do. It's not my intention to give you a bad day for reading my woes. Be that as it may, I also know that your reaction to this very regrettable situation might be something like that, and I can only hope to forewarn you that my tale is not for the faint of heart (or sensitive skin.) Reader, beware, you're in for a melodramatic tale.

The Prodigal Sunglasses
It was too hot out for the black hoodie, even with the sleeves rolled to the elbow. My phone call also distracted me. There was a fair amount of wind noise roaring through my tiny earbuds as I chatted with my boss. Several things were competing for my attention. I remember hooking the sunglasses over the zippered junction in the hoodie. I do this such that only one leg of the glass sticks out from my jacket. This way, they are less likely to shake loose. I still did just that - lose my oversized, nerdy sunglasses that fit more or less neatly over my prescription eyeglasses.

HYMN
He had never seen the ocean before. Rumors had spread about that it once was beautiful, deep and mysterious. Now, it was nothing more than a desert of sand storms and whirlpools of quicksand. The majestic, constant waves had now been replaced by the mundane, static rise and fall of the dunes. Never had there been so great a contradiction of consequence since the Fall.

Oren and Cyrus stepped into the large wooden building, quiet and dark, with only the crackling fire filling the ambiance and the darkness with little light. Cyrus led the way a little further, as Oren darted his eyes around for any sign of the aleckso.
