@RuthNasrullah: That's hollow thunder, he says, meaning thunder w/o rain. I recall a night I camped solo; a storm descended on the field where my tent was pitched. Hollow thunder awoke me and I looked to my left to see a daddy long legs clinging to the mesh. The coyotes fell silent.

@Set_LS: Took a drive along the coast on a windy day. Windows down, hair blowing every which way. When I stopped for ga$, I tried to take off my seatbelt, only to discover my hair was wrapped in a knot around it. This is the story about the time I cut my hair in a parking lot.

@anikawriter: Worn asphalt, broken curb, weeds growing among the gum wrappers and bits of plastic. In the shade of a dandelion leaf, a cricket chirps, singing in spite of it all.

@clairepolders: I’m swimming at a distance from the shore and meet a woman who has also chosen to leave the beach crowds behind. When I greet her, she tells me about her painful divorce. Sorry, she says, I don’t even know you. I smile. Our aloneness in the water has created a bond.
