The Widowed Matron
I can see it now if I was a woman of the 1870s. Chances are my name would be Victoria Taylor and I would have lived in the great state of Texas. I would have been born sometime in the 1840s, so I would have been close to middle age for a woman then. The likelihood of both my parents being alive were very slim back then, with it more likely that my father outlived my mother. I may or may not have siblings, with the chances running closer to only one or two full siblings and several half-siblings, especially if my father remarried after my mother passed away before him.

Finding a Name. First Place in Past Life Challenge. Top Story - July 2023.
As an illustrator, my job was methodical. Witnesses would give their mental reconstructions to the authorities, who would then relay to me the intricacies, the outlines, the prominence of the space between the eyebrows. Then, I’d infer the specifics. What type of head should it be: broad and brachycephalic? Stretched and dolichocephalic? Or somewhere in the middle? And how does one measure the depth of the palpebral ligament? You wouldn’t think there’d be an intimacy to the upper eyelid, but it predetermines the stroke of the lashes, which suggests the wakefulness of the eyes, the feature that a distraught brother or a bewildered neighbor may be most likely to recognize.

Chapter 2
I knew that 1941 was the year of the war, and from what I could tell, that picture of us in London, Big Ben was prevalent on the side of the picture. I wondered why he could keep his photos, but my photo vanished. I decided not to be hung up on the details of the supernatural, and I had to find out what happened in this photo. I wondered what the point of this time traveling was, if I was supposed to be figuring something out, or if this was random. I jumped out of bed and booted my laptop up. I looked at the clock on my bedside table; it was 4:30 in the morning. I hadn’t had the sense to look at a watch when I was in a dream or not a dream. I didn’t know how much time had passed there relative to here. This next time around, if there were one, I would pay more attention.

Black Cat Bone
I rummaged through the old, dusty attic. The summer was hot, and I was bored. As my grandmother would say, "Only boring people get bored." So there I was, quietly not moaning about boredom so I didn't have to hear my trite grandmother repeat those words. I found trinkets and what seemed to be pure garbage. This was my third odyssey into the attic, and I was losing my nerve. Just as the boredom started to peak, I let out a faint yell and kicked a lost loose box.
