Ashamed (100)

A stack of newspapers lay on the table so that guests could easily grab one as they entered the classroom. The headlines would be the day’s topic of discussion.


His suit was perfectly pressed as he stood before them waiting to see if any of them would come forward to admit they had played a part in the creation of disaster that was the headline. He felt himself becoming ashamed to have them in his orbit as he realized that all of them were involved but none of them were going to own up to what they had done.


What did the headlines hold? Is the entire class really in on the creation or is he paranoid? Will any of them own up to the part they played in the headlines?

No, children (everyone is someone's child) never take credit for their wrongdoing. The headline was a structural crash based on architectural blueprints the class made which was insanely expensive.

He is paranoid because he is really the one at fault because he should have know it was incorrect before the construction began...

Or something like that...

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.
