He dreaded this moment. Susan stood in the kitchen at the cutting board, chopping vegetables for tonight’s dinner. She had no clue. Not so sweet, but definitely unsuspecting. This would devastate her at the minimum, disintegrate her psyche possibly. How was he going to tell her?...

**“The Message You Never Sent”**

It started with a message he never received.

Lizi Lee was sitting in the back of a taxi, rain beating down against the windows, phone clutched in her hand like a lifeline. Her thumb hovered over the screen.

‘I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it that way. Can we talk? Please don’t leave.’

She hit send.

A green bubble.

Not delivered.

No signal.

Her chest tightened, pa...

A summer breeze racks over the sunny beaches of Southern California. Sun shines on every acre of stretched out the sand covered beach, burning the frolicking children who forgot to reapply sunscreen.

But, in the center of the pier, a 19-year old girl stands, copper brown hair blowing fiercely to the wind. Her hands are decorated with silver rings and bracelets, barely big enough to grip the wood....

“Your…” he whispered barely, “alive….”

I raised an eyebrow. “Do I know you?” I asked even though I was sure I did. Or at least had.

He shook his head slowly. “No. Not anymore.”

Okay even though I felt I knew him before, he was still acting weird. And maybe I was too. My sister was probably right, there was something wrong with my brain.

“Um…I got to go.”

I tried to go around hi...

“Are you fucking kidding me?” I shouted at my phone. Why is it when one thing goes wrong, everything seems to follow?

This morning I woke up and I knew this was going to be a terrible day. Mostly because what woke me up was the sound of my roommates cat heaving and then the warm splat of barf I felt seap through my quilt.

Then I had burnt my toast, followed by my check engine light coming on. ...

You never cared at all! The moment we met, I knew it was going to turn into regret. I remember the times I made you smile and laugh, but now I see your true colors. You started to talk to other people and got mad at me for not being in the conversation. He never knew that I tried to, but they ignored me and I was left alone, talking to my own.

What I am going to write is about how translating and studying a new language is not enough to survive. This happened to me in the first couple of months living in an English-speaking country (not my native language)...

* phone rings*

Hello..? Who is this?

Hey it’s me Jake

Is this still your number Molly? Is this even Molly whom I’m speaking to?

Molly breaks a smile

Why of course it is me! If not go ask your brother, he’d ought to clear it.

Molly’s pov:

I can’t believe it!

He ringed me up after years of no contact!

“I-uh what does that mean?” This was not how I was expecting today to go. The office was empty except for me, Sharon, and presumably Tucker Brown, the town manger but his door is closed with the blinds down.
