Weekly Contest #361
It has been thirteen years. Thirteen long years, filled with growth and introspection as clear as cold water and just as refreshing. When I first arrived, I felt lost. Every face I met was new, every experience novel. How can one put into writing how much the last thirteen years have changed my body and soul? I am not the same person I was then. I’m now a little older, a little wiser, and I recognize my mistakes. My childhood left much to be desired. My father, may he rest in peace, was a hard disciplinarian. Any perceived error brought his ...

Weekly Contest #345
Sensitive Content: Mild C-section birth details. We sit in two waiting room chairs, my husband and I, not knowing what to do or where to look. It is odd. Unnatural. I cradle my enlarged belly and watch the woman in scrubs at the front desk take a phone call. Ethan flips absentmindedly through an automotive magazine and I barely lift my chin in acknowledgment to his murmuring in my direction something about Formula 1. My baby girl wiggles inside me, kicking her legs and stretching her arms, as if she knows something has been set in motion. ...
