This morning’s story comes from Logan Kipp. Thanks, Logan!
The two held each other with a compassion that only childhood lovers could recall. As the moon rose high in the grey winter sky, He laid a gentle kiss upon her lips. Somehow, through their hectic lives, they found peace from the other.

He took a drag on his cigarette and spit out the smoke. “I’m not goin’ back there. They can kiss my ass!”
“You’ll go back… and you know it.”
“No way… not after what they did!”

Tommy’s first week of kindergarten had been great. He had made a ton of new friends in class and at recess.

Our first story of the weekend comes from Jorge Goyco.
Wolf was sure he had washed his hands before making the casserole. “I’m sorry folks,” he said to the violently heaving and convulsing group of animals. “It looks as though you’re all going to die.”
