Multiplication table

Peyton stood in the elevator. They were all stuffed. Crowed with security guards, full with suited administrators clutching clipboards, carrying manila folders and cold expressions. The university president’s secretary stood at the front of everyone, her tight brown curls like a helmet ready for war. One of the security guards, Frank, took Peyton’s computer from her hands as they entered and placed it in a brown box. The saccharine scent of cheap perfume permeated the enclosed metal box and…

Rayes answered, now seated at the card table. From the foyer, Laurence could see that she was waving her card hand wildly, so that Laurence and, he guessed, the other women too, could make out both the suit and the numbers printed on the face of her cards. The women in the foyer seemed oblivious…

It was Ashley’s first day working at The Silver Diner. She was feeling like she was going to throw up anytime soon because she was so nervous. Ashley had an odd personality.

off. My jaw clenches and I stare daggers at him. “Plus, I’m a little busy here.” I thrust up my tablet, waving it like a flag. Rolling his eyes, Graham replies with, “Mom said to tell you that dinner’s almost ready. She wants you to set the table.” “Whatever.” I really wish the government will finish enhancing their servant…

In between rounds of frying chicken, I set the table. After whipping the potatoes, and finishing the gravy, I added them to the growing mound of food spreading across the table. With a ding from my stove, I pulled the biscuits and pie from the oven, both golden brown. Smiling to myself, I placed the pie on the rack to cool, and the biscuits transferred to a bowl and placed on the table. With the table set and the food all done, all that was left was to wait for Joe. Checking…

The concrete in front of the apartment overlooking the park is separated into squares and covered in old gum and the occasional chalk doodle. You go up and stand on the single black concrete step and look up at the black marble and the silver 126.

room. Karmel took a step back, the tray of bread and cheese tipping. “Just leave it on the table.” Ashulti barked. The boy moved to the basket of clothes Peta left to be folded.
