The Hike
It’s 1929, and there’s still not much a girl can get away with, huh? And that’s coming from me. No idea who I think I am, walkin’ around the way I do, not giving a single gosh darn, not workin’ a day of my little ol’ life away. Not real work, anyway. Not the way Tom defines it. “Joyce, don’t you care what’s gonna happen to us if they let me go?”

Hamish and Agatha's
Fiona stared into the fireplace, watching the flames flicker and dance, while around her, everyone who had known and loved her grandmother, talked or cried or both. She was numb. Curled around her steaming cup of hot coffee, she tucked her toes underneath herself and held the warm mug close to her chest. Her eyes closed and all the chatter and weeping slowly faded away into nothing.

The Greeks Really Knew How To Party
It seems that these days people are in a constant pursuit of being recognized for some posting, achievement or Tik Tok dance. We seek validation within the digital world and on social media for our talent, our views and our hilarious missteps. To paraphrase the pop cultural icon, Andy Warhol, we all seem to be having our fifteen minutes of fame.

Forgotten
Most cannot recall these tales anymore. They used to be passed down from generation to generation. However, as technological advances took hold, these stories are long forgotten. Deemed fantasy, tossed away as witchcraft and wizardry. Placed alongside stories created about schools for those gifted in such a craft, or chalked up as the active imagination of young children.

Was I born in the wrong generation?
Haha, those days when we feel and think we are older than we actually are.. *Sighs* *Gets up from chair, hearing some sort of crack in the body* You're wondering next time what part of the body is going to pop next, in theory. Or the times that you remember that it was a certain amount of years ago that you graduated, that you rode the bus for the last time, certain big points even little points in your life felt like eternity ago. Plus the people you remember growing up being little kids are adults and so forth.. Along with the technology.. oh boy, how it has changed since time began. Sometimes it's nice, sometimes it's better to do it the old fashion way.

Name for a Sister, Color TVs, Family Secrets, & The Beatles
Picture my world if you will. It is 1964 and we are living in Houston, Texas. My sister was born that first week of January, one day before my mother's birthday. My sister was mostly bald, but the red fuzz on top of her head was foretelling. We would have a beautiful, little red-headed girl. My brother, closer to two years old than to three, now had to share my mother's lap. I, who had better things to do than to be in my mother's lap, would soon be returning to my 3rd grade class when Christmas break was over. For our family, it was a joyous time.

Like many relationship stories, the history of St. Valentine is full of torture and pain
Valentine's Day may be beloved by romance-flushed individuals keen to express their passion, and by retailers for the massive windfalls of cash it generates ($18.2 billion in the US this year) in cards, toy bears, and items adorned with hearts, but for others—the single among us, for example—it’s a painful reminder of thise primacy society gives to couple and an exercise in hollow consumption. like many relationship stories, the history of St. Valentine is full of torture and pain.
