“You're Still Here” by Lynn-Marie Reed

Submitted to Contest #195

“Iced caramel latte,” the barista calls. Kacie picks up her drink from the counter, heading out into the sunny day. She’s planning to take it to the park and breathe some fresh air for a while. The weather feels perfect today, and in Illinois, that’s rare. She joins the wave of people on the sidewalk. The man ahead of her is donning a blue hoodie, which is pulled up, covering his head. When they reach the cross walk and start moving to the other side, she gets a glimpse of his face. It almost looks like it could be Branden Griffin, but it’...

“Healing Tea and a Sketchbook” by Lynn-Marie Reed

Submitted to Contest #128

It was a Saturday morning, and rather than opting for her usual mug of coffee, Ariel was reaching for the honey and turning on the heat to boil some water. Today her body was in need of something lighter, something different than her usual coffee with cream. Whenever she was sick as a child, and every moment since that she could remember, Ariel was given a cup of tea with honey (and sometimes a dash of lemon).
