Of Orphans and Secrets
Had Lord Christopher Jonathan Morgan Senior and Lady Annabeth Juliet Morgon known that the morning of December 17th, 1822 would be the last day they would hold and kiss their beautiful baby boy, the two most likely would not have ventured into town.

Albert's Antiques
There were many times in the day that Albert would look out the window into the horizon and let his mind drift. He would do this when he woke up to the birds chirping and the rain pouring, waiting for the kettle to boil for his morning cup of tea, when he sat down for dinner in the final hours of the day. Hypnotised by the rolling hills he would let his mind melt into their beauty. The windows were his only connection to the world in Lockdown and he took much delight in gazing out of them. This time brings back the unpleasant memories of the Second World War, of being a young man hiding away at every turn for fear of danger, waiting for the moment to be called into unjustified action. This trait seams to have unfortunately followed him for his entire life, only to be amplified by the current uncertainties.

The $20,000 Obituary
The $20,000 Obituary By Ryan Matthew Randquist She was a romantic at heart. Growing up in a rural Oregon town with little to do in the days before there was internet or iPhones, Cathy would spend her free time reading romance novels. The winter months in Oregon were often dark and wet and the summer months were hot and humid so going outside was not much of an option. Sure she helped her mom around the house but reading was her escape from life and continued to be so after she graduated high school, got married and started a family of her own.

EXIT DATE
As a child, Hartley was born with imperfect teeth, a dental condition called Dentinogenesis imperfecta which resulted in a lack of enamel and was reflected in a smile of yellowed, chipped teeth. Hartley rarely smiled because when she did, she felt the judging glare of her classmates. Sometimes kids would yell out “Hartley, why are your teeth so yellow? Don’t you brush them?!” At first, it hurt her feelings to hear those comments, so she would shy away on the playground and become a recluse. But then she learned better. She became accustomed to pulling away from her classmates at recess. She sat on a swing, went quietly inside her own skin, and became still, resulting in a beautiful gift that allowed her immunity from ridicule as a child and served her all the days of her life. The gift? She became an astute observer.

Bella
I woke late Saturday morning at the Royal Botanical Hotel. It was my last week of work before I was scheduled to leave that sweltering place for home. Equatorial countries are always hot but Equamelda was bordering on inhospitable. The sun had not reached overhead when it began to scorch the faces of the poor hotel staff working out back. From my suite, they looked like little worker ants running around doing their best to keep frequent guests like I was, happy.

Eidi's Gift
Eidi stared down at his lap in unbelief. The check fluttered in the breeze as he sat in silence. It was only yesterday that he had left Abdu, and paced outside his cousin’s apartment, breathing inarticulate prayers to the heavens. Only yesterday that Mariama had felt farther away than ever. At this time of year the blazing African sun would be beating down on her black skin. It was hard to imagine in the creeping chill of a Georgia winter.

The Little Black Book
Her elbows rested on the table with both palms supporting her head. There she was, silently crying while her teardrops delicately fell on her little dog’s back softly sleeping on her lap. “Why, but why?” She felt sad and confused from knowingly not understanding exactly what she had accepted.
