Graduate Class and Zoom Class



The one-hour commute to the city for the Graduate class at the university was a long one because of semis, potholes, and even deer who fed on the state-planted wildflowers to save on mowing costs, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as receiving a text from the faculty member fifteen minutes before class and forty-five minutes into my commute that the class was canceled.

 



Zoom Class













During the
pandemic, I turned on my pc and clicked on the Zoom shortcut for my
university class. I was shocked and tried not to laugh at my
professor. She had a bag of Doritos propped against her pillow and
laid there on top of her paisley comforter in a long night gown. She
fidgeted with the sound and camera, but clearly couldn’t operate
it, or we wouldn’t have seen such a comedic view. Apparently, her
university department hadn’t trained her for the online class
conversion.

40 Units





















    “ You take forever to order just like with everything else, you haven’t changed at all have you?” A familiar voice with an unfamiliar face calls from behind. A long-lost friend welcomes unfamiliar emotions. We stare at each other in silence because I don't want to have small talk. I know her life ain’t easy, and at the same time, I still fall into the same small talk I desperately want to avoid. Cause just looking at her I know it’s not easy.  Taking care of four kids by herself while working at Church's chicken ain’t nothing to even smile about.     But I still ask her “How's everything” because I have no clue what else I should say to you. I want to make a joke, cause you know me as a class clown but life is no joke, and I know that better than anyone.    Life's not fair in the slightest and I’ve always known that from being in foster care. Yet even I didn’t think life could be so cruel to just steal Rufina’s life from her.    You tell me about how tough things ha...

Why was the door alarmed?

 "This door is alarmed". The door was also the emergency exit.    The fire started in the hardware department. A battery exploded and soon the department was filled with choking black smoke.   Customers rushed to the door. It was locked.       By chance, there was a display of hammers. The manager, a big brawny bloke, grabbed a hammer and made his way to the door..   "Stand back, everybody."   It was the sort of commanding voice people obeyed.   He attacked the door with a will and smashed it so the grateful customers could escape.   The door had a good reason to be alarmed. Derek McMillan is a writer in Durringon in the UK. His editor is his wife, Angela.

The Excited Courage I Needed




















Image







 The Excited Courage I Needed   Dad was very protective of me as I grew up. I saw his safety rules as signs of a mean Dad. Everyone was riding a bike. Except me. We lived at the end of a short driveway which veered off from a 300-foot lane.  The neighbour children flew down this lane with their bicycles, and I could only watch them enviously and wistfully, not partaking, forbidden from riding a bicycle. Often, in the midst of those long summers, I sat at the edge of our yard watching them ride. They loved the attention my close observation gave them, and they pedalled fast and furious past me, knowing they were the object of my envy.    The winter I was eleven, five years after my sister died, my father surprised me with a bike. It was no ordinary bike that he had purchased it at a used bicycle shop and had hidden in a shed out back. Carefully, with his artist’s hand, he painted it light blue with white trim. He had even painted the handlebars and wheels with silver paint. I like to ha...
