When the Water Didn't Come. Runner-Up in The Summer That Wasn’t Challenge.
They’d spent all of May waiting for the lake to rise. By June, it became clear that it wasn’t going to. Every year, for as long as she could remember, it would flood like clockwork. Not literally, of course, just in the sense that it would become fuller. The boats would come out, the fishing poles would emerge from garages, and the kids would start daring each other to jump off the dock.

The Room for Eliza. Runner-Up in You Were Never Really Here Challenge. Top Story - July 2025. Content Warning.
At the end of the hall, there’s a room we don’t talk about. Mother calls it the “Sewing Room”. She says it in the same tone she uses when talking about frozen casseroles or tax deadlines; blunt, flat, leaving no room for a second opinion. The “Sewing Room” hasn’t seen a spool of thread in, at least, thirteen years; a blatant lie, so we don’t talk about it long.
