I remember that night. It was so long ago. Strange that I haven't thought of it in decades. Now that you bring it up. Yes. It all comes back. More vivid than much of what's happened in my life more recently. Shocking how that happens.

Cassandra was busy of course. Leaving for a trip. Had to be at the airport by 5AM. For a moment Mia considered leaving her friend be. Cassandra usually went to bed around midnight, so going to a party was out of the picture.

Mia considered this. Felt bad. Knew she could...

The ambulance cried just a little too long. Usually sirens were in the distance. And Jane could tell what kind of sirens they were. Each vehicle had a different cry to it. This one was an ambulance she was sure.

The company was late on its rent . There was nobody to resolve the issue so they assigned it to an  intern . However the intern didn't take care of the issue and so the startup was getting kicked out of the office. Not because the building they rented a...

Mark sat at the park bench alone. Besides the odd day when a stranger gifted him their company he sat alone. It had been this way for 12 years now. Time flew by even though his days felt slow. Now that the end was near he wished the days would...
