I didn’t think anyone would help after my sister’s cold attitude. That was before Officer Rollins arrived. After the rain began, he spotted us outside the community center. I expected the standard “you can’t stay here,” “this isn’t safe for kids,” etc. Instead, he crouched, looked Milo in the eye, and begged to pet Hope. Hope, a scruffy mutt, has one ear that slips forward like she’s always curious. She almost knocked Milo over with her tail wag, who laughed despite himself. That laugh released stress I hadn’t known I’d been carrying since we left Aunt Clara’s place two days…

Officer Rollins gave me a direct look before I could open the package, so I finally grabbed for it and slid it closer. “This is not my work. I was asked to locate you by someone. I was completely stopped by that. I hadn’t revealed my last name to him. I hadn’t even disclosed my origins. He was only aware of our first names and the fact that Milo had given the puppy the moniker “Hope.” He only nodded toward the two teens seated across from him, their heads bowed in prayer once more, as they had the day before,…
The table caught my eye on my library trip. Just a folding table with paper bags and a handwritten sign: “FREE LUNCH FOR ANYONE WHO NEEDS.” Actually, it was sweet. Kind. Someone helping in this dirty world. It didn’t bother me at first. Despite skipping breakfast and only having $2 in my account, I grabbed one a week later. Apple slices, peanut butter sandwich, granola bar. Quite simple, but satisfying. I took another the next day. And another. Something slipped out with the sandwich last Friday as I opened the bag on a bench across the street. A note. Handwritten…
I pass this mailbox on my morning jog, painted with colorful sunflowers and always decorated for the season. Last week, I saw a small round table with a handwritten sign stating, “FREE FLOWERS FOR SOMEONE YOU LOVE.” There were jars of fresh carnations, tulips, and daisies from a garden. It was sweet. Wholesome. Just kept jogging. The next day, I quit. Rather of flowers, I needed a reason to feel. My girlfriend and I were having trouble. We circled in the flat like strangers with shared debts, not communicating. I took a jar. I left it on the kitchen counter…
A short pizza run was planned. After a long shift at the shop, my hands were greased, and all I wanted was a large pepperoni and my couch. But I observed an older guy at the sidewalk edge as I pulled into the lot. He tried to climb the curb outside Salerno’s with a metal cane that clinked with every step. He was ignored as people rushed in and out with takeaway bags. Maybe shame or instinct made me stop, but I rolled down my window and asked, “You need a hand?” He looked astonished and nodded. Smiled without speaking.…
