Just a girl who walks dogs and hangs out in cemeteries. Stay feral, y'all.
It had been one of those mornings when everyone seemed to be in a hurry. Cars rushed through the intersection, people hurried along the sidewalk staring at their phones, and the little coffee shop on the corner had a line nearly to the door. In the middle of it all, an elderly man named Arthur... Continue Reading →
It had been raining since before sunrise. Not the dramatic kind of rain with thunder and lightning that at least gave you something interesting to watch. This was the slow, grey, miserable kind - the sort that made the sky look permanently stuck at 4:30 in the afternoon. Maggie stood at the kitchen window in... Continue Reading →
When Gwen signed up to volunteer at the local food bank, she told herself it was going to be a one-time thing. One Saturday morning. Three hours. Sort some cans, pack a few boxes, feel mildly productive, and then go home. That was the plan. She arrived just after eight, still clutching her coffee and... Continue Reading →
When Claire’s life started falling apart, she did what a lot of people do. She told everyone she was fine. She was fine when her car broke down. Fine when work became overwhelming.

Amelia stopped at a small roadside fruit stand on her way home and spotted one last basket of strawberries. They were perfect—bright red, enormous, and exactly what she'd been craving all day. She reached for them just as a little boy beside her whispered to his dad, “Those are Grandma's favourite.” His father checked his... Continue Reading →
On her way home from work, Hazel spotted a wallet lying beside the sidewalk. She picked it up and opened it, hoping to find some identification. Inside was a driver's licence, several bank cards and nearly $400 in cash. For approximately three seconds, Hazel's tired brain whispered, That's a lot of takeout. Then, of course...
