The Hour Of Joy Novels & Stories

She pulled on her comfiest bra, splashed her face with cold water, and slipped her feet into her beat-up flip-flops to walk the block down to Trudy’s. It was a beautiful, albeit hot, August day. Humid and bright, Joy wished she’d remembered her sunglasses. She squinted, and it was so bright that she didn’t see the few townsfolk that were walking about staring at her. But as she got closer to Trudy’s, she saw the salon owner Dana frown in her direction. Joy gave a wave; Dana ignored it and walked in the opposite direction.

I’m willing to give up everything just to make him proud, do everything he pleases so that one day, he’ll accept me but, despite everything that I have done, at the end of the day, he only sees all my mistakes.

"Tiarra, sweetie, what time is your class?" I looked where the voice came from and automatically smiled when I saw my Nanny. I hugged her waist when got close to me.

Minnow loved Henry's wise words that always spoke the truth. They leaned back and watched the town's light spreading alongside the streets as the sun sunk further behind the dark ragged tree tops in the distance.

Joy's funeral was not surprisingly a large affair, almost the entire town had come to pay their respects. She was somehow associated to each one of them- every person had a moment of hers to share however insignificant it was.
