“Bonfire” by Bri Heron

Submitted to Contest #244

When was this? I stared at the blurry photo of myself, sitting next to Andy in a sticky booth in a bar I’ve been to a thousand times. Why don’t I remember this? Could’ve been drunk based on how many empty beer cans were on the table but why do I not remember Andy either? Flash forward to the beginning of the night… I didn’t even want to go to this bonfire tonight. Not sure why though.

“C-Section Scar” by Bri Heron

Submitted to Contest #235

I can pack all of my belongings and my son’s in under thirty minutes. I attribute part of this to my military kid upbringing. My parents liked to live the minimalist lifestyle, they’d only put a few decorations up here and there. And while I hated seeing bare walls on each house or apartment we lived in; I definitely see the appeal now. My son is homeschooled because it is easier to do that the...
