There have been many shocking debuts this past year, the most recent, the end of the election where the Electoral College votes were in the favor of Republican candidate Donald Trump. Once that information was released, panic ensued for many people, but this is not the only moment of panic that has occurred this year.

My stomach is in knots and my clothes are full of stains. The baby in the ladies lap next to me is sobbing from sleep deprivation, but I guess we all are. The blue lace ribbon from my bonnet is now brown and I just think to myself how I will ever retrieve the crystal blue color it once held. I don’t know what the new world will be like so all I can do for now is dream. I imagine the new world as a peaceful place where all are kind to each other and harmony is in the air. The streets filled with…

Jimmy Romanowski uttered a sigh of disgust at the once-prized Mustang. He bought the ailing jalopy wicked cheap, considering metallic rheumatism ran amok among its mechanical parts. Apparently, its previous owner, a man in debt to his uncle, Devin Flynn, and in serious trouble, eschew maintenance. To mitigate the overheating, debilitated rubber arteries, and rusting exterior, he applied an effort unmatched since he helped paint the Our Lady of Sorrows church, which hadn’t been such a filthy job.…

One of her best is a caramel cake. This cake is one of our family’s favorites and no one has been able to master it like my grandmother. Like most older women, my grandmother does not measure very many things. She has been making her recipes for so long she just knows when something…

Isaac Newton once said, “We build too many walls and not enough bridges.” Had someone presented this quote to my young, tween, self, my life might have been very different. The saying “quality over quantity” was one that governed my younger years, voluntarily at certain times, and at others, not so much.
