deep within. Arriving at the back of Bus 57 she shook herself like a dog ridding itself of water. Her hand spattered with age spots pulled the worn baseball cap out of her back jean pocket.

The wave of warmth and the leftover smell of yesterday’s field trip made her face…
many people make out while on the Tube and around town. It is a norm since no one looks at them, but I tend to feel slightly uncomfortable. In the United States, at least the situations that I have seen people usually do not make out in wide-open public places or else people stare. People are not afraid of personal affection at…

My friends and I had just gotten off our bus to walk home. Our bus stop was in the cul-de-sac at the beginning of the neighborhood and we all lived either right in the middle or in the far back. It was a three-day weekend so we were all trying to figure what to do.

I lived off the Lake Pontchartrain at the time. My…
