"Chasing XVIII"
I'm holding a video game inside Target. I wrestle in my mind with whether I should steal
it or not. I remember my grandmother saying to me that it's easy to get in trouble but hard
to get out. I look up at the security camera that my friend tells me doesn't work. Praying
he's right, I stuff the game in the front of my pants and throw my shirt over it. As I walk
towards the exit, I notice a security guard waiting by the door. Not sure if they were there
before but I do know they're causing major anxiety. Thinking on my feet, I stop to ask
the guard if they know of another store that sells another popular game. The guard says
yes, gives me the directions and lets me on my way. Now, all I have to do is cross a giant
parking lot and then I'll feel the bricks fall from my shoulders. I make it out of the parking
lot and reveal my hidden prize. Many more to come, I say to myself.

"The Aunts"
It's Father's Day. My Dad and the Aunts are coming over for dessert. For the first
time, I have a Gay Pride flag hanging proudly on my balcony. Should I take the flag
down? Nah, I can't be bothered, they'll never notice. Anyway, we're a family that avoids
uncomfortable topics.

"Beyond Belief"
- I'm not getting on that boat! It's going to explode and sink!
I'm 12 and were standing in line on the dock, waiting to board.
- Hurry up or we won't make it back by 6.
- Yeah! Mom and Dad are going to be mad.
I'm desperately trying to save my siblings lives and they're worried about being a few
minutes late?! How are Mom and Dad going to feel when we get blown up? I'd never had
a feeling like this and I am absolutely sure I'm right. But they're not buying it and start
pulling me toward the boat . . .

"A Simple Ask"
Sometimes, in the dark, things get confused. And sometimes sentence structure
doesn't work like you think it does. You think one would get used to things. Like meeting
strangers, wearing bracelets, trusting friends. But, I swear, life can still surprise you.
Death might, too.
