The Letters In His Desk - Pt. 1. Content Warning.
──── ୨୧ ──── Ethan Calloway woke like he had been dragged violently upward from deep water, lungs burning, heart pounding hard enough to make his ribs ache. For a few seconds he didn't recognize the shape of his own ceiling. The darkness in his room felt thick and close, and when he tried to take a full breath it snagged halfway down, splintering into shallow pulls that only made the panic spike higher. His sheets were twisted around his legs, damp with sweat. The red glow of his clock slowly sharpened into focus, 3:17 a.m.

Miracle In The Andes Survivors
On October 13, 1972, a chartered plane carrying a Uruguayan rugby team known around the world as the Miracle in the Andes. The aircraft, operated by the Uruguayan Air Force, was transporting members of the Old Christians Club rugby team from Montevideo to Santiago. On board were 45 people, including players, friends, and family members. As the plane crossed the Andes, turbulent weather and navigational errors led the pilot to misjudge his position. Believing he had cleared the mountains, he began descending—directly into the snow-covered peaks.

Lighted!
The first spark appeared beneath her heel. Lina almost missed it. She had been walking home the same way she always did; head down, earbuds in, the long gravel path cutting between the dark field and the empty parking lot. It was late, but not dangerously so. The sky held that deep blue that feels suspended, as if night hasn’t fully claimed it yet.

Hey, Doll
"Hey Doll, open your eyes.” Barnaby’s house was not new to Marion, but it was still a nice gesture that he would carry her over the threshold. She could see it now, for the first time, as their home. He set her gently down on the floor and, locked in a tight embrace, they kissed. Before long they had moved to the bedroom to consummate the marriage.

A Quandary in Quarantine
Afterward April dawned with another brilliant blue sky and even more hints of spring. The last time I had met Luce over the fence in the backyard, we had seen warblers, sparrows and even a finch or two floating on the breeze. The lone maple tree in my backyard has also started to bud. I could feel Mother Earth wakening, stretching, and starting to renew herself. She and I were both looking forward to whatever was going to come next.

A Quandary in Quarantine
Chapter Eighteen “I want to go with you,” I said to Drew as his officers took Eliisa away in the police cruiser. I fleetingly thought about asking Drew if he wanted to try Luce’s movie date idea, but thought better of it.

A Quandary in Quarantine
Chapter Seventeen Eliisa had me cornered, literally. The way she sat, with her back to the door, quite effectively blocked my ability to get out without her realizing I was leaving. I felt for my phone, which was still in my back pocket. If I could just get a call through to Drew ay the police station without Eliisa noticing or overhearing, I could alert him to what I had found out. I casually pulled out my phone, and held it against my side while I kept an eye on Eliisa.
