Shadow
This was Stella’s first trip to New Orleans. She walked down the streets with the enthusiasm of a child. Everything was new and shiny. Even if it wasn’t.

Winter Season
What job? Esther sat with her legs stretched out on the couch, browsing through the newspaper. A sorry excuse for a newspaper at that. Her mission was looking for a job. What job? This little town had not one. The classified section of the paper was a swap meet. There came a knock at herContinue reading “Winter Season”
