I’m going to miss you.” Jacob leaned against Daddy’s leg to show he would miss him too. Playing in the backyard was more fun together than alone. Daddy tussled Jacob’s hair and said enviously, “Don’t have too much fun while I’m gone. And listen to Mommy. She’s watching from the window.” Daddy final...

It was his first time in Louisville, and he had arrived on a late flight, packed with passengers. Peter knew he was there on a kind of suicide mission. He had only been with Envyzyn Software for a month and his boss was sending him out to convince clients not to cancel their contracts. Envyzyn’s digital modeling programs were...

Jason liked to spend his lunch breaks traveling the world. He was stuck inside a government office, but at his fingertips lay the largest collection of unfiltered and unpolarized humanity on the internet – Googlemaps. Jason treated each lunch session as a treasure hunt. As he ate a sandwich, he visited places very few people knew existed. He zoomed in on his Googlemaps screen as far as it would go. He liked the road views that provided an adjustable perspective of landscapes and neighborhoods. After an hour of e...
“She shouldn’t be hard to spot. She’ll be wearing a red tank top and holding a balloon,” Manitoba Melonfleur said to her boyfriend, Jake. “Whose idea was the balloon?” Jake asked. “Hers.
