Sunday Has Been Cancelled Due to Lack of Interest
Sunday morning began with a lie. “I’m just going to sit here for five minutes.” I said this at 9:12am while lowering myself onto the couch with a cup of coffee and a blanket. At 10:47, I was still there. In my defense, I had been very busy. I had adjusted the blanket twice, checked... Continue Reading →
The Day the Neighborhood Group Chat Imploded
At 7:12 on a perfectly peaceful Saturday morning, Susan looked out her front window and saw a traffic cone sitting at the end of her driveway.

Just Another Peaceful Morning… Said No One Ever
Sunday morning, Melissa woke up with a plan. This was her first mistake. She was going to clean the house, do the laundry, organize the kitchen, water the plants and maybe even relax afterward. Adorable. She started by putting a load of laundry in the washing machine. While that was running, she decided to empty... Continue Reading →
A Little Help Next Door
Saturday morning was already hot when Jenna dragged the lawn mower out of the garage. Her grass had reached the point where it was less “lawn” and more “small wildlife habitat,” so she reluctantly accepted that yardwork could no longer be avoided. Halfway through mowing, she glanced at the house next door. Mr. Peterson’s lawn... Continue Reading →
The Dragon Man: The 146,000-Year-Old Face of a Lost Human Relative
The story of Dragon Man begins more than ninety years ago, with an extraordinary discovery that almost disappeared forever.

The Ri: The Mermaid Mystery of Papua New Guinea
Far off the northeastern coast of Papua New Guinea lies New Ireland, a long, narrow island surrounded by warm tropical waters. For generations, people living along parts of its coastline told stories about a strange creature that moved through the shallows.
