Is Reading on the Toilet Still a Thing?
There was a time in America when entering someone's bathroom meant being granted access to their private literary collection. Nobody discussed this. Nobody questioned it. You simply walked into the restroom, locked the door, sat down, and discovered that your host had thoughtfully provided enough reading material to survive a minor gastrointestinal emergency.

Growing Up in a Poverty Mindset Household
Motel hotel... I had only stayed in low cost motels all my life and when I went on a band trip and we stayed in a nice hotel I was weirded out. Why was the room so big? Why was the bathroom clean? Why was there no moldy donuts in the vending machine?

The Day that Hell Froze
Everyone says that they will do something "when hell freezes over," and they mean that as a way to say that that will never happen. This story starts the day right before, in my mind, hell froze over and is about what happened to me on that day.

Things We All Pretend We Know How to Do
There comes a point in every person's life when you realize something deeply unsettling about adulthood: nobody knows what they're doing. As children, we assumed adults possessed information unavailable to us. They understood mortgages. They could balance a checkbook without asking anyone for help. They knew which wrench to use and the names of both screwdriver types. (Phillips, flathead) They could determine whether a melon was ripe simply by touching it. They could stand beside a broken car, stare into the engine compartment, and somehow diagnose the problem through facial expressions alone. Then we became adults and discovered the terrible truth: they're bluffing. We're all bluffing...

Jell-O Shots Didn't Help. Winner in Too Hot for This Challenge.
I peeled off my clothes one inch at a time, the sweat plastered on me making it difficult. Once my pants and undies were off, I snapped the blinds shut, then flung my bra and T-shirt across the room. Lifting my breasts, I swiped a palm beneath and felt the sweat, shaking it from my hand, watching it spiral outward.

Heat Makes Everyone Weird. Top Story - August 2026.
“All this rock and concrete is making me eggboiled, HEEHEE!” She swept the sweat from her hairline with the back of her hand, then pressed a tissue against her scotch‑tired eyes. She could’ve used the tissue for both, but she didn’t care. Her features were magnificent, and her head was small.

One Flight at a Time. Runner-Up in Too Hot for This Challenge.
There is nothing worse than being a little overweight and having to deal with the heat. And living in West Texas? The heat isn't exactly forgiving. When it's over 100 degrees outside, the air is dry, hot, and relentless. You can walk from the building to your car and feel like you've just stepped into an oven.

I Wore Black to a Gatsby Lawn Party. Top Story - August 2026.
The Great Gatsby lawn party took place on my birthday weekend during an August heatwave at a nearby period mansion by the seacoast. This is one of my favorite historical periods, and I had a dress ready to go.
