"Olivia, I'm so happy! I'm going shopping for baby clothes tomorrow!" I laughed and promised I would send pictures. After I hung up, my phone buzzed again. It was Rachel. [Henry told me Charlie ordered the nursery done in three days?] [Yeah.] [Is he insane?] [Probably just too happy.] [I'm so jealous.] I put my phone down and looked over at Charlie. He was reading a parenting book. "What are you reading?" He handed it to me. The title read: How to Raise a Daughter. I could not help twitching. "You're starting already?"

I was left standing alone in the darkness of the night like a clown that no one cared about. I made an appointment for an abortion on my phone. Then, I turned to leave. I'd spent the past 15 years trying and failing to win Benjamin's heart. If that was the case, I didn't want it anymore. It was late at night when I returned to the nearest town. I got a room at a hotel and drifted off into a restless sleep. In the wee hours of the morning, I was jolted awake by the ringing of my phone. My superior at the TV station sounded anxious yet excited. "I heard a 5.3-degree earthquake happened at the old settlement near your location. You need to head there immediately to get the latest scoop!"

Jane read the first verse, she seems not familiar on the song. "Your turn baby." Mommy Sha said. "Uphill battle, I look good when I climb. I'm ferocious, precocious. I get braggadocios, I'm not gonna stop, I like the view from the top." I sang it, I know what the tune was e.

His voice turned cold. "Do you have any idea what's happening down there? Over 3,000 feet deep, the submersible’s hull is already deforming. There’s a human life inside there." "I know." "You know? Yet you're just going to turn me down like that?" He was speaking faster now. "You're the only person around here who can dive to those depths, yet you won't even think about it. Do you realize you're leaving someone to die?" My hand tightened around the phone. "Leaving someone to die? Mr. Lattimer, that's an interesting choice of words, coming from you."

The lights reflected in the small river, shimmering on the water. She sat in a small tavern by the river, listening to melodious songs and tasting local wine. Her heart was full of contentment and joy. It had been a long time since she had thought about George and Kimberly. This was a good thing. Having drunk a bit, Cora felt lightheaded. She decided to go out for a walk to sober up. When Cora reached a small courtyard, the sky suddenly opened up with light rain. Rain fell at an angle past the dark eaves. Cora leaned against the weathered wooden doorframe.

You don’t know where everything went wrong, and you're too scared to leave. He had told me to sleep on the couch, so I savored the last drag on the cigarette and put it out. Placing the cigarettes and lighter back exactly how he had them, I hoped he wouldn't notice any missing. Then, I lay down on the couch with my comfy reading blanket. I prayed for sleep to take me, and eventually, the exhaustion caught up and took me under. As I felt myself sinking, I wondered if dying would feel that blissful. I wondered if it would be better because I finally wouldn’t be so tired all the time. It seemed that’s all I felt anymore, heavy limbs, heavy mind, heavy heart.

To my surprise, he responded with, "I took care of that, after dinner we will go to the mechanic's shop and get it, it is not much but it runs" I knew it would be nothing special, and it wasn't, old beat-up pickup, it will serve its purpose. After getting some homework done I went downstairs to get something to eat, I heard commotion looking out the window I saw Lilly, Sophie, and her brother playing in the yard. It was kinda cute to see. Two weeks have passed and my life was falling into the routine - school, home, gym, homework, sleep, and all over again, this is what poor life feels like. Tomorrow is Monday again and I have no idea for how long I can take this kind of life.

Najmah snapped her book shut then fastened her seat belt, staring out of the window. She had a phobia for flights, so she spent the whole flight duration reading one of the many books she had brought together with her; "Lie to me, Dan by Longrin Wetten″ which happened to be one of her favorites.

His downfall is destined by the Gods. Pucha is weird! Does this mean Cayden will be defeated and fall? Eight months? Wait, that's almost here... Today is already the 7th month. But shit, this book is written like what? Years ago? Why am I affecting this book? And as it says here, mythology right? That means it's not true. Aish, why did I even read this? So I just closed the book and just looked at the front but my eyes just widened.
