Audreys suprise
Once Upon a time in a very busy city lived a modestly sweet young woman known as Audrey. On a bustling street full of Character and charm, amongst unusual book shops, hipster cafes with thriving plants and eccentric art stores sat a kooky apothecary.

Daisy Chain
It was 2010. Before I had made the decision to disappear, I had prepared. I understood that every movement I had made over the past few years had been tracked, logged, and preserved because of the technological world I lived in now. I had gradually reduced my digital footprint under my old identity and increased my privacy online. I had gone to lengths to acquire a completely anonymous, secure, mobile smartphone using cash. Likewise, for my laptop computer. I had been squirreling cash away for some time now. I had cut the fat from my social life, so my absence would be less conspicuous. I had set up an anonymous mail drop under a fake identity, my new identity, and had been having mail delivered there, including my fake identity documents.

Leticia`s little black book
Leticia’s little black book I’ve always been the type of person that believes that things are always destined for change, and that if you do good in life somewhere along the line something good will come back to you in some way, shape, or form. Not that I go out of my way to do good things for people just so that good things will happen to me in return that’s not how it works. I guess it just has to be in your heart basically for it to work. But after I tell you my story then you can decide for yourself how good things happen to unsuspecting people in their times of need , and does God know our basic needs, does he hear our calls , and does he know our struggles , and if. He answers our prayers when we need it the most…

Woman in the Red Coat
I was standing in the line of the coffee shop, mentally preparing the conversation I would have with the barista. I’m always nervous in social situations. I do not converse easily with others. I knew she’d say good morning, then ask me how I am, followed by what I would want. I had to make sure I said quickly, good morning, fine, and a decaf americano. She would give me a funny look, and then ask me why decaf. I’d laugh and pay quickly so I didn’t have to explain that caffeine is the drug of choice of most people and I can’t buy into that concept. As the person in front of me finished their order, I took a deep breath and walked up to the counter. I waited for the girl to speak but instead, she turned around and had a coffee cup in her hand. She smiled, “your decaf americano sir” and she placed it on the counter when my hand didn’t reach out for it. I stood stunned and started to bumble, “thank--you, um, good morning, or thank you.” I reached into my back pocket but immediately dropped it on the floor. As I scrambled to pick it up she started to giggle. When I popped back upfront of the floor she spoke again, “it’s paid for by that lady over there” she pointed to a woman in a red coat. I gulped, and pulled a five-dollar bill out of my wallet, and put it in the tips jar. I smiled and grabbed the cup, and turned towards the woman in the red coat.

The Little Black Book
Natasha Raymond walked along the boardwalk outside the restaurant she worked at and sighed to herself. The water was so beautiful at sunset, it always stunned her into silence. That evening, however, it simply made her sad. Her mother had always loved the way the water looked during the sunset and she had taught her daughter to love it as well. Natasha looked down at her funeral blacks and sighed again. She wished her mother was at her side, making her laugh with stories about her time as a maid for a rich family.

Salvation
The snow-flakes flurry slowly around your cardboard box. True winter’s cold wraps around your fingers like a snake crushing its prey. You had lived through a few winters in the alley you called home, the box providing little shelter from your frozen hell. Water trickles from your nose and freezes to your thick black moustache. You are thankful you are able to grow the thick bushy beard that hangs from your chin, keeping your face warm. You watch as the yellow cabs race noisily on the main street and dream of warmer days.

My Little Black Book
It all started with that little black notebook. I'd received it in the mail on my birthday. No sender was listed and the enclosed note simply read "Happy Birthday!" I flipped through the empty pages and wondered who sent it. The notebook itself was clearly high quality. It had an elastic closure and an attached bookmark with lined pages. Whoever sent it even personalized it with my name at the bottom. I didn't need a notebook though, so I tossed it on a shelf and planned to keep it there.
