Walks with Morgan – Caroline
Smoke is caught in the breeze as she walks through Vondelpark. Caroline notices children playing in the field to her left, a group of friends sharing a meal, some drinks, and each other on the right.

Patty’s Diner
Martin opens the door first door allowing Erica to exit the cold night air. She returns the favor with the second. Dressed for the Met Gala, arm in arm they approach the hostess’ stand. A young brunette too perky for 3:00 AM greets them, “Hello, and welcome to Patty’s Diner. Would you like a boothContinue reading “Patty’s Diner”
The Sweater
The Sweater Breezy with a hint of a chill the old women in the neighborhood warned about. A slow yet dangerous cold that lulls a teenager into a false sense of security, like a gradually heating pot a frog sits in. She starts shivering slightly. “I think I’m getting cold,” Claire said on their wayContinue reading “The Sweater”
Later
A buzz in his pocket, “I’m watching a movie in bed, what about you?” Lin responded. Almost slipping on the ice, Perfect! She’s home! “I’m on my way to your place so we can talk and have some coffee.” Should I take out the ‘some coffee’ part? If I leave it she’ll think we areContinue reading “Later”
