The busy traffic, both of people and cars, kept her on edge as she hurried along, her anxiety high for a reason she didn’t understand.As she turned left to go home, she felt as if, all of a sudden, she had stepped into another dimension. Here, there were no people, no rush of cars.No noise.She stopped short, and her gaze swept around, and her breath caught in her throat.Where was she?She glanced up and saw the street signs, and immediately two things struck her as strange.One was that they had a greenish glow, and the other was their names. ...

So glad you could come this year because the work he does is so different. And this is an unusual event. He always has a showing and then does a painting while we watch.Well, I am glad you invited me.Say, since we got here so early, we have plenty of time before he’s even started so how about a spot of something to eat?I have to agree that would be good. Coffee maybe?Come on, ya idiot. I’m up for more than that. I haven't had my breakfast, and my damn tummy is growling like a beast. There’s a great place that’s just down the street. Follow m...

She was too busy rushing to catch the bus to pay any mind to the wind that seemed to carry leaves, bits of candy wrappers, and an assortment of potpourri. Her heels clicked on the well-walked sidewalk, and she held onto her purse with a vengeance. “Ach,” she cried out to the sudden shift of wind, which blew a chunk of newspaper onto her coat. She pushed it off, but behind it, a stray light green piece still clung to her. It got shoved into her pocket to be forgotten as she boarded the bus and found a seat near the front. Later that eve...

Here we are. The two of us — alone. Okay, so we aren't entirely on our own. In the kitchen is my best friend and now hooker-upper Ellie. I'm sitting in a floral-upholstered armchair while he stands by the window, his back to the room. He is holding a tumbler filled with whiskey in his right hand. A basic glass of white wine is in my left hand. He is all decked out, wearing a grey pinstriped three-piece suit with a black shirt underneath.
