8 Foods Kids Must Avoid To Prevent Cavity
Parents play a pivotal role in imparting the significance of oral hygiene to their children, instilling the practice of brushing and flossing twice daily. Maintaining a robust dental routine holds the key to averting potential orthodontic issues. Nevertheless, it's worth emphasizing that the key to fostering resilient, cavity-resistant teeth is concealed within a child's lunchbox. Every meal comprises varying levels of sugar and starch, which serve as fuel for the oral bacteria to generate acids that can detrimentally affect tooth enamel. The minerals like calcium and phosphate naturally found in saliva, coupled with the toothpaste's fluoride and the assistance of water, act as protective barriers against erosion. Consistent consumption of starchy foods amplifies the release of harmful substances, consequently expediting the development of plaque and depletion of essential minerals. Additionally, consumable items with adhesive qualities tend to linger in the mouth for prolonged durations, elevating the vulnerability to tooth decay.

Fire & Ash
I remember the scent of burnt flesh most clearly. It’s nearly impossible to describe to someone who hasn’t experienced the smell for themselves. Ask anyone who has though, and they’ll tell you; No matter how often you bathe, or what pretty little perfumes you might spray yourself with, no matter how many years pass, you can’t ever completely rid yourself of it.

The Time Of My Life
Now in my twilight years, childless, I think about how I could have had my father-in-law prosecuted for an assault with a deadly weapon, and his daughter prosecuted with conspiracy to murder. However, I chose not to at the time in order to protect my children.

The Time Of My Life
It was a beautiful summer’s morning in the middle of June, a day that is etched in my memory for all the wrong reasons, though it started promisingly enough. For a start, it was my birthday and the sun had his hat on and was coming out to play. My three young children were already up and about, waiting for me to get up and go downstairs to make them some breakfast. My wife was ahead of me in the bathroom, so I made my way downstairs to tend to the kids’ needs for some chow. Already thinking about the day ahead and what it might hold in store for me, I had a spring in my step as I descended the two short flights of stairs.

Dreaming of Electric Sheep. Runner-Up in Chapters Challenge.
I do not have dreams. In the literal sense. Obviously, I have my delusions of grandeur, my dreams of one day having something I've written be held in high esteem by somebody with no real vested interest in my life other than I'm the cool weirdo artist they've been obsessed with for some reason. I want my farm with my goats and to never have to look at another computer again. I want to sit on the porch and play guitar and have a big ol' Mead Hall thing that acts as sort of a private club/social venue. I want to provide a space for people like me, who are bad at stuff, so we can be bad at stuff together but in a way where the, like, 2 things we're good at end up being really useful. I have THOSE kinds of dreams.
