Instead of facing his own demon, Sabrina's father took his own life in front of his family, scarring his own daughter for life. Being a non-fiction novelist, most of my stories are about people’s experiences. I collect facts through research and interviews, then retell the stories through books. My stories, in turn, memorialize their contributions in life and highlight their suffering and pain. This way, they shall be remembered and hopefully, their story helps someone along the way, someone who currently faces these difficulties.

Just the place where the real story started. The one that would be ordinary and extraordinary simultaneously. That would be Saturday cooking and Sunday walks and dinner tables and December snow on London rooftops and Diana’s garden in summer and Amara calling from Philadelphia with sharp questions and my mother’s pepper soup and the Emmanuel Okoye Fund doing the work it was built to do and the book that was not not being written and the child or children who would arrive in their own time and who would grow up in a home built entirely differently from the one this man had grown up in. All of it. The full, specific, unhurried, entirely chosen texture of a life.

Brooklyn asked. Turning away from Kendall, he said, “It’s a short piece about a man looking back on his life as he is dying.” “Wow, that sounds interesting,” Addy said. “I think it sounds a bit depressing,” Shea said, frowning. Brooklyn nudged her and said, “I think that sounds fascinating. I can’t wait to see it.” “I’ll have to let you know when the festival is and get you some tickets if you’d like to see it,” he offered.

After I passed out earlier, I am here now in our dorm, taking some rest after I ate dinner at the school cafeteria with Frey, Sammy, and Yassi. In a few hours, my first day here at SIS will end. And obviously, things didn't turn out so well today. I pushed, I passed out, I whack a guy for the first time. It's amusing, right? It looks like, my daily life will be memorable here. I sigh out.

Jane could see the sweat on their brows as they chopped vegetables, plated dishes and monitored the preparation of other dishes which already had clean dishes waiting to receive them. As she made her way through the chaos, Jane could feel her heart racing. The intensity of the kitchen was like nothing she had ever experienced before. She watched as one chef pulled a tray of hot bread out of the oven, while another carefully plated a dish of seared scallops with precision and care. The sight of such skillful preparation left her in awe. There was no sense of chaos and disorder despite the hectic pace.

I just regained my senses when I saw my husband, Kyle Cromer, sitting beside me with a bottle of water in his hand. "You've been asleep for a while, Sylvia. Here, have some water," he said, unscrewing the cap before offering it to me. In the past, I might have been touched by his thoughtfulness. But now that I experienced death and just got a second chance at life, I questioned everything. When I was eight months pregnant in my past life, Kyle abruptly insisted on taking me back to his hometown to give birth. He claimed his mother could take care of me and forced me onto a high-speed train that would take seven to eight hours.

I loved them. I kept walking. It seemed like I had walked 10 miles. I stopped, hearing noises in the distance. I listened as hard as I could, and there it was. It was the sound of people talking. “Today was another dreadful day at the farm.” “Did you not get as much food from the harvest as you had hoped?” “No, and we needed the food. The queen does not give us much. We depend on these crops to survive.” “Our queen and king need to be replaced.”

"I hope you know your place. Since you're back, go make some soup. Rhianne likes what you cook. She treated you well all those years—you're not going to refuse, are you?" Making soup was the only skill I had mastered over the past 20-odd years, all thanks to the two men standing before me. Now, they wanted me to make it for someone else. Had this happened in the past, I would have put up a fight. But now, I merely nodded calmly. "I'm on it."
