I arrived early with mama, but I made sure to keep a ‘safe distance’ from the other children as they made their way to the spot of gathering. It was the first day of school. There they were, those familiar scrutinizing eyes, examining me from head to toe. I could feel my palms began to […]

“Nothing, But …”
The blaring sound of the alarm penetrated the room like an invasion from outer space. It’s obnoxious and insensitive declaration that it was another day had made itself known throughout the house. “I just want to pull the covers over my head and die.” She had all but given up on what some would have […]
