I took a deep breath and looked back at Sir Ross. I feel a shiver when I saw the woman who took suicide swinging dead at the back of Sir Ross. Her feet are touching the

It was a Tuesday. I noticed it halfway to his apartment. The particular light of a Tuesday afternoon in November. The way the street looked at this hour.

"Not really. Do you have any openings today?" "What's happened?" "Something came up. Something I need to talk through sooner rather than later." I could hear her flipping through her calendar. "I had a cancellation at six thirty. Can you make that?" "Yes. I'll be there. Thank you." "Of course. See you then." I drove across town to her office building, and sat in the waiting room reading more articles about the pharmaceutical case on my phone. Dr. Morrison called me in at exactly six thirty. "So," she said once we were both settled. "What happened today?"

We have some matters to discuss.”

Gray clouds hung low in the sky, as if even the heavens understood the weight of that morning. A small white coffin rested at the front of the cemetery. Too small. Painfully small. Lisha stood frozen beside it, dressed in black, her eyes hollow from days of crying. Dave stood next to her, firm like a man , though he looked like he barely slept for days .

to impress college admissions. So far, I don’t know half of what’s been mentioned in Astronomy. I might be hanging on by my fingertips but hey, at least I’m trying. The bell rings, and Professor Towles wipes her hands against each other to remove the chalk. “Read pages sixty-two to seventy-five tonight.” She grins. “And don’t forget to stop and look up at the moon. Pay her your respects.” Half of the class has already left the room, but I cock my head at the last piece. This teacher is pretty cool, and not just because of the red streaks in her hair or her nose piercing.

Tom Hulce suddenly spoke, his voice revealing a touch of sorrow and choked emotions. Demi Moore sat in front of him, feeling a slight dampness in her eyes.

She had been half expecting it to be difficult — the universe asserting its sense of timing — but it was simply a Tuesday in December, straightforward and well-behaved, the work moving at the pace work moved when nothing unexpected interrupted it.
