On the Day David Sedaris Called Me
If I give it some thought, I'm a catastrophe, really -- a hapless female baby-boomer who lives in Miami and works more than full-time at a drugstore that combines the worst features of a call center and a pharmacy, feeling just as misunderstood as I did when I was lost during my misspent youth.

The Wheel
Here and Now. The owl flew through the barn’s open hoist window and landed on a roof beam. Ruffling its feathers, it looked down on what had drawn its attention. There in the straw below lay an older man, struggling to breathe. He showed all the classic symptoms of bronchitis and was too wasted and malnourished to overcome the infection. As he breathed his last, the owl looked around the barn and hoped that the mice he knew lived here would venture out to be his dinner. Knowing the owl was there, the mice were too smart to do that and remained curled up safe and warm in their nests.

Panic of the Gods
"And, they've taken Corinth." A groan rose up from the crowd gathered around the large globe that spun slowly in the center of their lavish room. Hermes threw his hands in the air and began hastily gathering his stuff, flitting here and there in a way that annoyed every god around him.
