“I can't imagine not smelling cow shit every morning anyway. It’s soothing.” We started laughing until we were both standing there looking at the other, crying. It was the first time Joe and I had spoken that deeply about being an Albert— what it meant and what it felt like. We crumbled at the same time and sat by the wheelbarrow and wiped at our tears and sweat, the liquids hard to tell apart. I ran my palms over the dry grass in the field like it was water, inviting and mysterious. Joe did the…

You can just tell by the conversations they are having now, compared to what they were having at the beginning, that they have gotten closer and they don’t mind each other’s company.

arrived. The boys walked in as I was sitting on the counter in the kitchen. Jamie set down a bottle of Jack Daniels, and I went to it. One shot, two shots, three shots and I hit the floor. I want to say that I remember the party and who all showed up and what went down that night. However, that was just not the case. By the time I came to my senses, it was 3 AM. I got up and looked around the house for anyone, and no one was there. The front door to the…

After reading both Kelle Lasn’s and Richard Louv’s pieces on how humans have become distant from nature, I became very upset with myself. When I was younger I loved spending time outside. Whether I was playing sports with the neighborhood kids, helping my grandfather with his garden or talking walks in the park near my house, I realized that I do not spend nearly as much time outside as I used to. With technology constantly being invented and reinvented, video games, television shows and phones…

have been working with children for over ten years and have had many life changing experiences with them. None of those experiences have impacted my life more then what happened to me a year ago. It all happened when a parent came up to me at the school I work at and asked me to be a buddy at a program called Buddy Break. I asked, what is involved, she told me that it involved me having an open mind, warm heart and a little bit of training. With a little bit of convincing I was on board and…

“Santa.” “What?” “Call me Santa.” “… What do you want from me, Santa?” she repeated. “See those gifts?” He pointed to a table in the corner, stacked with toys and appliances. “Wrap them. I’ll be back with more.” Suddenly the Christmas-y tentacles reached out and dug into Dianna’s pockets, taking her and her boyfriend’s wallets. “What are you doing? Please, that’s all of my boyfriend’s Christmas money!” “I’m sure he’ll be happy to know it was used to for good. Have fun with the elves.” He…

I truly feel the Seventh man has done nothing wrong. I understand the logic of survivor guilt, however truth is, he couldn’t have saved K. Stuff happens, it wasn’t his responsibility to save K, even if it was he would have potentially put himself in harm as well. I see no reason for the Seventh man to be held responsible by himself or others for K’s death. The wave killed K, not the Seventh man’s decision. It by default has nobody to claim responsibility for. It is for these reasons and prior…
