He has completed triathlons and was in an adult baseball league until he had his accident. While up to bat for his team the follow through of his swing decided that it would defy the standards of biomechanics. His Achilles tendon tore like a piece of string cheese. He works a forty-hour a week job as and electrical engineer, while also running our family’s small vending business. Transitioning from the epitome of hard work to immobilization was the hardest thing he had ever experienced. After his surgery he was only to get up from his recliner chair to use…

fourth grade. My youngest brother, Owen, was born when I was in third grade. From the very second I met him, I could tell that he was going to be a high maintenance child. He was always extremely hyper and curious, never a good combination. He wanted to know everything about everything and that often got him into quite a bit of trouble. Sometimes it was just harmless trouble, but other times he ended up with a scraped knee or couple bruises. I will never forget one time in particular when…

We shared many heartfelt conversations while relaxing in our cabin and I will never forget them. Sometimes I sit on the couch in silence and imagine hearing his voice again. Although he is actually gone, the cabin always makes me feel connected to him. The left part of the back wall is covered in my height measurements that he marked over the years. The wall still smells like fresh sharpie marks. Also, the right section of the back wall is home to a small, round window. The glass has a hairline…

Things sure have come a long way from going to the theater and having to share the movie with a bunch of strangers and trying to get the bubble gum and sticky candy off of your clothes that rubbed off from the uncomfortable seat you had to sit in, to watch a movie where the sound was incomprehensible and unless you came early, you saw the movie from an angle that tweaked your neck but helped the chiropractor buy a new boat. Yes they have.…

Around everyone’s third or…

Jonas could faintly hear from the cabin a group of voices singing a mysterious tune. By the wooden door of the cryptic cabin was a pair of dark leather boots…
