Flip-flops

a swig of my now disgustingly warm water bottle and caught my breath. By the time about half of the water bottle was gone, I decided it would be a good idea to check to make sure nobody stole anything. I looked down at the sand. Sand encrusted flip flops, check.

How someone's very presence could grate on my nerves like a constant hum of a lopsided metal fan was beyond me. But that's exactly what Alder Quinn's very existence was, an annoyance.

Hence, while…

My cats were my best friends so following their deaths I became depressed, and wanted a new pet to diminish the pain of losing them. Sadly, I started to develop an allergy to cats and concluded I needed a dog instead. Since my mom supports my wishes I knew she would agree to adopting a dog, but to my shock and disappoint she refused. Not ready to take no for an answer I constantly begged my mom for a dog, but she repeatedly answered no. My mom’s explanation was that she didn’t want the…

One of humanities most nagging questions is: “What is the purpose of suffering?” In Moira Crone’s short story, “Pecos Bill”, she does not directly answer this perplexing question, but she highlights an outcome of suffering. Grace. Perhaps pain and hardship serves as a conduit through which grace is granted. Grace, throughout the narrative of “Pecos Bill”, is depicted through selfless acts which serve to alleviate the suffering of an undeserving character, Celeste. The main character of “Pecos…
