Humor
She is trying
“Whore,” an elderly woman whispered at her husband from behind her hand. Faith Pennies overheard this, but out of politeness pretended like she hadn’t. The woman who had uttered the profanity was a church acquaintance that had made no acknowledgment towards Faith, so faith slowed her shopping cart and pretended to compare pasta prices. She slowed her breathing and opened her ears for potential tidbits of gossip, but the woman had ceased speaking to her husband. This could only mean one thing. The woman had been talking about her.

A Fool's Last Laugh
"No!" I shrieked as I saw Tom leap from the third-story balcony. Surely, he wouldn't survive. It all started when I met my roommate, Tom our freshman year at Ohio State. I was excited to be at a party school since, in high school, I was voted "Most likely to bore classmates to death." I'd be lying if I said that didn't sting. I was ready to embrace a life of fun and humor, and with a little luck, some girls.

We Sold Our Sol
We would love for you to hear about this. We know that change is unresolved, often frightening. It was one of the great truths of human beings, kind people who wore their robes out of carved wood. No major change in human society has ever been possible. There is always anxiety, sometimes even panic. And there is growing pain. Not all people are as skilled at navigating the new roads as they were on the old roads.

If Only
Jake is a busy guy. Every time he starts a project, or just thinks about starting something, he gets interrupted. Most of the time they’re annoying minor interruptions: phone calls, a knock at the door, text messages from work, the list goes on and on. If only he had a little alone time, he could complete some half-finished projects. No phone calls, texts, or people, for one day. Is that too much to ask? Unfortunately for Jake, his unfinished business list just came due all at the same time.

Intro
My headache persists. I had a dream about Ni-ni again, and like every time I have a nightmare about her, I know she's still alive, as crazy as it sounds, it really gives me hope. "Missy, time to get ready, uncle Aizawa doesn't like lateness you know," Papa said excitedly. Oh shit, It's my first day in U.A. thanks to my teacher's recommendation (that's the only teacher who believed in me, well she believed I was blind and talented) I don't have to take the entrance exam, which was kind of a bummer since I wanted to do it but that's cool because I still get to go to U.A. where I can be recognized on how good of a hero I can be.
