It was easy for me to get hours when I started working for the government at a nursing home. Especially not with someone like Mr. Reinhardt, I never thought I’d make real friends.

The grandfather of the boy, Mr. Reinhardt, had fallen and wouldn’t move into a new house. Leo asked me to teach him how to take care of himself. I agreed, Of course. Someone once told me…

Eleanor had been a faithful church member for almost 50 years. After a car accident that left her handicapped, the church she had given her life to left her.

It was a terrible moment on Wheel of Fortune. Tuesday night, a player messed up a win that should have been easy. It was one of the most memorable mistakes in recent game show history. One of the contestants was Nikol Gamble, who owns an escape room in Houston. The other two were Dustin Whittern, a skilled black diamond skier from Oklahoma City, and Rachael Traywick, a longtime Wheel fan from Kapaa, Hawaii. Everything was going well for Gamble—until the Mystery Round. With the category set as “Song Lyrics,” contestants worked through a massive 12-word puzzle, gradually filling in…
At first, it was like any other day. Over the past few months, I had grown to enjoy helping out at the nearby stables, which is where I had just come back from. I felt better after spending time with the horses; it was a peaceful break from the stress of daily life. I really fell in love with one horse in particular. He was a beautiful black horse named Thunder. Despite his huge size, he was very calm. In the afternoon, I took a picture of myself with Thunder, happily posing with the animal I had come to respect.…
That plane wasn’t meant to have me on it. Not with them, anyway. My ex-boyfriend Dariel had our daughter Lyla for the week and was taking her to visit his sister in Denver. Not only did I know that the trip was going to happen, but no one else did either. I had already reserved a seat on the same flight. You could call it paranoia or just a mother’s sense. There was something not right. Dariel had been acting strangely since the custody case didn’t go his way. He was being too nice and agreeable. And Lyla? She said…
It had been two months since I left this room. It feels like it’s always 4 p.m. because the walls are a strange yellow color. The same food, nurses, and IV machine that beeped all night to keep me company. I had given up looking at the calendar. What was the point? Then, last Friday, my sister walked in with a strange smile and told me, “You need to brush your hair.” I laughed. “Why?” “I’m not leaving.” She told him, “You’re not.” “But someone is going to come to you.” I thought it might be an old friend or…
