Aniya stared at her lap for two more seconds before she raised her head tentatively. She peered into Susan’s bright blue eyes trying to find the correct words to utter to her supervisor, and mentor.

Learning Anew: An Excerpt IV
A belly laugh tumbled out of her stomach. For some reason Johan’s words amused Aniya to the point of causing her to fold over at her stomach-laughing. It took her all of two minutes before she could compose herself. “I’m sorry.” Sarcasm oozed out of her veins. “Um, because you’re the head honcho you think that it’s okay that you lied to me?”Continue reading “Learning Anew: An Excerpt IV”

“Devon this important!” Devon circled Samantha, each arm loaded up with boxes containing paraphernalia to re-stock the shelves at his Grandpa Solomon’s eclectic book and comic store. “Devon.

“Um, thanks Mads…ah,thanks for agreeing to move the conversation outside the coffe shop.

Devon extended his arms straight into the air. “Hi Mads. You’re here…finally.” He steppedContinue reading “Life Passages XX – Meeting Of The Minds”
Life Passages XIX – Settlement
Devon spotted Madeleine right away. He broke into a sprightly jog across the school front yard. He was oblivious to the people lounging on the grass. He skipped over them with ease and made a bee line to Madeleine. She didn’t see, nor hear him approaching. Madeleine wore huge pink and white headphones that sat on top of her head with a cord that ran into the side pocket of herContinue reading “Life Passages XIX – Settlement”
Life Passages XIV – Breaking Ground
Madeleine sits on a wooden bench, under a humungous tree. It has foliage so thick that it provides ample shade for reading. Madeleine has taken her favorite past time-actually obsession, to the park two blocks away from home. She throws herself into the graphic novel she purchased at Solomon’s bookstore. It is her third go at the book,Continue reading “Life Passages XIV – Breaking Ground”
Life Passages XI – The Fall Out
“Mads! Wait up!” Devon calls after Madeleine while running out of his Grandfather’s Collector’s Bookstore. “Oh Come On Madeleine!…Please!” Madeleine continues walking briskly ahead. The sound of Devon’s voice rings in her ears. After a few more paces, Madeleine halts to a stop, and swivels around. “What do you want Devon?” Devon takes a deepContinue reading “Life Passages XI – The Fall Out”
