Edna, meet The Divine Den
He was the sexiest man Edna had seen in years. She instinctively pulled out her phone as he approached to walk past her, impersonating someone who regularly receives texts or calls (or any social media notifications for that matter), to remove herself from having to make eye contact with Lord of the Sexy.

No Better Feeling than Clean
I anxiously pace back and forth in front of the window, waiting and occasionally peeking out at the darkening night sky and thick rain that offer little clarity as to whom, or what, may be out there. I’ve been stuck in this pandemic lockdown for almost a month now, and things are getting weird. I live alone. I have no local family, no job, no pets, no kids and at the moment, no supplies. It’s like the whole damn world is closed. I never thought I’d experience anything like this in my lifetime, and I’d never felt more anxious or unsettled.

A Little Help, A Lot of Love
I’m standing in the dark corridor, hesitating, swaying slightly on the spot as I think. There’s a soft, muffled bleep repeating in the distance and the hum of a floor sweeper outside. It’s 2am. The light rain tapping against the window at the end of the corridor blurs the cityscape into refracted fragments of orange, yellow, green, and red. A burst of blue signals the arrival of yet another ambulance in the docking bay below.

Shake It Off
Sometimes a man just has to have a caramel milkshake. Right now is one of those times. The café is what you might call “über chic.” With minimalist décor and wait staff more attractive than shampoo and conditioner models, I feel like the kid in corduroy when everyone else is wearing denim.

Watch out for the ice
A feather was tickling my upper lip. I brushed it away with the back of my hand. It moved to my ear. I swiped it off. Then it moved to my right eye. I opened it. A fly buzzed around my head. I opened the other eye. Sunlight drenched me. I was in a prison cell. A very bright one. It smelt bad. No, it smelt horrendous, as if someone had…

BLESSED
BLESSED The addictive aroma of fresh brewed coffee was in the air at the old cafe’. I found a comfortable, overstuffed, brown leather chair, right next to the front window. It was summer time in West Virginia. The colorful flowers were all in bloom, making joy for all of the passers by. While drinking a cup of pure black coffee, I sat there pondering what to do about my life, as I stared out the window. Just then, a simply beautiful woman was entering the cafe’. She had lovely auburn hair with bright emerald green eyes. She smiled a genuine smile that warmed my heart. “Katie! Are you still teaching art classes next door at The Center?” asked the barista. “Yes, I am still teaching classes there.” said Katie. After Katie and the barista had a short conversation, while waiting on her white chocolate raspberry latte, she turned and noticed me. “Hi, my name is Noah.” Katie was drawn to me as I asked about her art classes. It was her day off of work. We sat and talked for 6 hours! It’s like we had known each another for years! Katie ended up inviting me to attend her art classes. We developed a strong bond of friendship over the next few months. We laughed, cried, and loved one another, in a few short months together. We were inseparable!
