Louder
The woman rushes in just as your friend gets up to take a piss and check out the bar options. Her face is smug and you'd think she were pretty if not for the mullish looking toddler straddling her hip. The kid looks to be in need of a nap and on the brink of tears and you know, you just know, that this is going to ruin your night.

Auburn Rose
Auburn Rose The day that Auburn Rose arrived in Greenock, Scotland was like any other day. She wore a dark magenta wig that covered her balding head, and her eyes reflected both empathy for others and the anguish born from the throes of pain following chemotherapy. From just looking at her, the people of Greenock knew that she was sick, but none of them wanted or had any idea on what could be ailing her. So naturally they were afraid, and treated her like she had the plague. Yet, even though they didn't want to have anything to do with this sickly woman, they felt that the only way to rid themselves of her was to make her someone else's problem.

Tricks Manifested
The smell of cooking oatmeal was overpowering in the small house’s kitchen, competing with the first rays of daylight as the small woman stood in front of the stove humming to herself. She glanced down to the wedding ring carefully preserved on the pewter ring stand she kept for her jewelry’s safety. She stirred the oatmeal clockwise and took it off of the oven after a moment more, though she half-glanced to the side with a smile suddenly before going back to her task of sliding the oatmeal into two bowls. She heard the clumsy walking sounds before he entered the small, cozy kitchen and wrapped her up in his arms seconds later amid a chorus of giggles. She glanced to the side with her Nutella eyes crinkling at the edges as she smiled in delight to see her husband behind her, “Hello my love, are you hungry? I made oatmeal for breakfast since you seem to dislike rice.” She winked mischievously, the sunlight rising through the thick window turning her gaze into molten gold,. She stole a quick kiss from his lips and offered him the bowl of oatmeal after she sweetened it with maple syrup and a little butter for flavor’s sake.

The Muddy Shoes
It was cold & wet. The rain had picked up with no warning. My shoes filled with mud & dirt. "When did all this rain come from." I said. I step on the mat while I take off my shoes in hopes to not further damage the carpet. "Do not put them dirty shoes over there!" Someone explained. "Put them in the bath tub Where you can wash them off & let them dry!" She yells from a distance. "Fine then MOM!" I said jokingly. Before I pick up my sneakers that's filled with mud, I rip off a some sheets of paper towels from the kitchen next to me to put under my shoes, not to drop any mud in the house. I progressively move to left towards the bathroom where the shower is. "Don't start without me!" I yell as I'm moving towards the bathroom with what supposed to be my black & blue sneakers I got from the shoe store not too long ago.

On The Rocks
It seemed like it had been so long since he had been here. Really, it had only been a few months. But in those few months he'd lived an entire life. Time slowed down now that she wasn't there. Walking to the rock, "their rock" as they had come to call it, brought back a burst of memories--her giggling as she slipped on the moss, the sunlight spilling through the clouds across her face, a single kiss stolen before a wave splashed them both with sea spray. He could feel the now familiar way his heart began to pound harder and faster. , his breath coming in short, shallow gasps. He sat down on the rock, the waves lapping at his feet, and waited for the panic attack to subside. He had forgotten to bring his pills, which the doctor had prescribed after he'd nearly lost his mind at the funeral. He'd never experienced a panic attack before then and had assumed he was dying of grief. How stupid of him to forget the pills now, on such an important day--their wedding day.

Was This a Personality Mismatch or Something Much Darker?-Part 2
“Where are you? You are running late. You said you’ll be here 2 hours ago.” “Amy, I am not too far away, there is so much traffic. I have to admit, I didn’t leave early enough.” “Okay, I’ll wait for you in the lobby. My luggage is in the luggage room.” A few minutes later, I met up with Amy. We loaded her luggage into the car and drove to her new rental. It was a 25 minutes drive and on the other side of town.
