BEEP! BEEP! My eyes slowly began to diverge from their stupor, but everything was blurry and surrounded by an odd haze. The deafening sound was droning on and on, rattling my brain. As my eyes finally adjusted to the bright light seeping through the windows beside my bed, it finally dawned on me what time it was and that I was late. It was 8:00 am; I had gotten up thirty minutes late. “Kimrey Lowder is never late,” I muttered to myself.

I finally decided to wear a different pair of shoes right when I looked up to see those brown sandals right in front of me. They were right beside the bed the entire time. I slipped on denim capris, that were slightly faded from being worn throughout the years, along with my sandals and raced towards the kitchen to fix myself something warm to eat.

I ran through the living room with only one shoe on and hopped on one foot around the corner to the coffee pot. The moment I reached the coffee pot, after tripping at least ten times, it occurred to me that I had seen something out of place on the couch. I circled back to the living room and there was my neatly folded sweater lying on the couch from folding laundry the day before. I don’t know how I had been so flustered that I hadn’t seen it lying there, but it was there, almost laughing at

    I've learned that a handful of chicken nuggets from the microwave doesn't count as a meal, that not everyone just drinks a glass of milk like I do, and that a real taco night isn't like any tacos I've ever had before. One of the biggest ways we bonded was over food. We took turns cooking in the kitchen. Each week I was trying new things that I had never heard of before. We always had vegetables.…

    Aging Shoes I slowly took out my father’s old shoes, covered with dust, from the antique shoe cabinet and started to clean and shine them with my bare hands. While cleaning them, I turned my head to see where my father was; he was resting on the sofa, like always, gazing at the television screen. However, he was staring at it vacantly, especially without any emotion. I wiped away the tears dripping down, and turned back to focus on my work.…
