A loud crackling sounded off within my ear and I could have sworn it echoed the London Library, causing me to tense up a bit. The fragile binding of an old storybook, deeply hidden between the stacks of the science section, opening back up for the first time - in a long time - deserves to crack its back and become unhinged. For a moment, I held my breath. Not on purpose, but in astonishment. Because my mouth was slowly hinging open along with the pulling split of paper edges seeing the light after being cloaked in the depths of darkness for ...

“Hi Liz.”“Hey Dawn. Did you hear about the company’s holiday party yet? Do you know what you’re gonna wear?”“Ah, no. I haven’t checked my emails yet. I just got home.”Balancing my luggage and take-out Chinese food in one hand with my phone lodged between ear and shoulder, I dig through my purse for my apartment keys.

I have always loved the fresh scent of a salty breeze and cherished every detail of our annual family vacation to this exact spot, wishing summer would never end.Sixty-two years had passed in the blink of an eye. Sixty-two wonderful years since our first kiss on this beach, in this specific lifeguard stand. ...

The doorbell rang. I was busy escaping the dark world outside. My eyes controlled by the media radiating from the TV. Shaking my head at the strange behavior of people. Differencing of opinions disrespected, leading to personal attacks. Disagreements turning into war - into war!I look at my phone for the fourth time in the last few minutes, checking for notifications of any kind. It’s 11:11pm. I make a wish. Wait, didn’t the doorbell ring? I create a wrinkle between my brows.Who is at my door this late?I don’t feel like getting up. I’m half ...
