"Well, I certainly know she has skeletons in the closet," I told my best friend, Catherine, over our shared love for cappuccinos. We both took a giant sip of our steaming hot cappuccinos, made by Frank, our go-to man for a strong cup of joe. We both simultaneously burnt our mouths. But Catherine and I could never resist the foam on top; we gulped it down before it all melted. "Ouch," "Double ouch!" Catherine shouted. She put her right hand to her mouth. We giggled. "It's worth it! Thanks, Frank!" I shouted across the coffee place, and Fran...

“Wren Bella Rose, all is fair and love and war,” Isaac Waterstorm enunciated to me in our bookshop, where we met six years ago. His feet were glued to the bookshop’s ladder that let him reach all the way up to the top shelf. His long, thin arm weaved through the newly released section. He glanced down at me as I glanced up at him. My hands gripped the ladder- in fear that he would have lost his footing and slipped, but Isaac was a professional; he was damn good at that ladder. Scoping the shelves all day long. Helping me, helping the custome...

I was completely hypnotized by the aqua-blue ocean, which I gazed out at during our Caribbean getaway. The soft wake left by the cruise ship was mesmerizing to me. Between the sun now and the blend of colors in the sky above, it looked like a screensaver on a computer. It was our family’s fifteenth cruise for our Christmas vacation. I remembered that, since I was five, we started going on cruises. We sailed out to the Caribbean for the island sun to get away from the harsh winters of New York. The lure of the waters that went on beyond my im...

“What do you want from me!?” I angrily shouted to myself in the bathroom that was nestled between the two most dramatic teachers I have ever assisted in my life. I just couldn’t wrap my head around what was happening. And, this was all over a spilled coffee mug! A very steaming, hot one, apparently! The damn fall pumpkin spice whatever coffee released the most obnoxious scent, and I wanted to hurl all over my students, whom I was also assisting! Between these two women, who were never able to stand each other, and my sister’s job as the Assi...
