look out to see the kids throwing snowballs and the joy it puts on their faces. I drop the curtains and glance at my alarm clock that reads 7:59. I panic when I remember that my flight takes off at eleven. I go to visit my family every year for Christmas, well my mom anyway.

Alicia and I talk Edna’s Steps The 2nd house next to the corner of Sacramento and 29th Street. The old brick house with the green hedges, green railing, and green lamp post in the yard. The old windows are cracked, shattered, and splintered. The steps made of concrete are completely collapsing under the constant rain. The humongous tree’s legs are uplifting the sidewalk. The ivy has taken over the house. Who would want to live here? The answer is my family and I. This is our home and it is the

She lived, ate and breathed dance. On all of her exams she achieved the top grade in her class. Although it started as a hobby Ivy slowly became addicted to dance. Now at the age of 18 she was at a university for the arts. It was coming up to Christmas, in fact it was only a week away; Ivy was the sugarplum fairy in the University's edition of the nutcracker.

boiling- the impatient warmth hitting my face, like when you open the dishwasher, or put clothes from the radiator on after a shower. The kettle is like an orgasm and i rest my cheek in the hand, that’s propped up from the elbow digging into the light wood countertops, I can see the stains of thousands of water levels on the small slit in the silver kettle as it starts to warm up.

Having lived for several years in the city, he had grown used to the warm orange glow from streetlamps, dogs barking, and the guttural growl of car exhausts as motorists drove past his house on their way to goodness knows where.

Vail Village lies blanketed in glistening snow and bursting with wildlife. The branches of the native trees bow with the heavy load of snow they carry, almost caressing the ground beneath them.

After she stood up, her skinny, fragile being stumbled through the room, shaking more with every step.
