The Few Who Shine
He is a skeleton fashioned from filth and sorrow, a collection of forgotten memories and discarded fabrics. His hair is a weak red, like a dying stoplight. As Tom walks by, it feels more like the red-haired man is the one moving, floating by like a body in the White River, bobbing in a current of urban life.

Nights like those and sunrises like these.
My days off begin about a block from my front door. 1872 steps according to my pedometer. Today it’s cold. Colder than usual. It’s only October 2nd. I head to the waters edge, watching my breath form a cloud that looks like I’m smoking. My doctor claims she’s proud of me for this. Blah, fucking blah. I do this because I need to take advantage of being by the water.

The Truth About the Black River
I was eleven years old when I told Sheriff Tate I pushed my best friend, Nixie Brooks, into the Black River. I knew he didn't believe me. That's why I told the same thing to the social worker, a policeman, the lawyer, and the lawyer's young assistant. The assistant was a nark. He told a reporter at the Gazette who wrote about me in the Sunday paper. The reporter wrote that I was evil and that I'd go to juvie. Maybe he was right.

The Dream Deceiver
It was summer. I had just graduated high school and my parents offered to take my sister and me on a vacation. My parents had just bought a cabin near Lake Millinocket in Maine, where we would spend two weeks there. My father is a pilot and insisted on flying his new seaplane, which I thought was pretty exciting. We packed what we needed and my uncle took us to Bangor International Airport. My uncle was going to meet us at the cabin with his family within the following days and wished us a safe flight. My dad went and got us clearance so we could enter the flight line. He came back and we packed our luggage on the plane to get ready for take-off. As soon as we took off I fell asleep and woke up from my sister tapping on my shoulder. She pointed at Mount Katahdin and I was in complete awe. I could see the beautiful reflection from the sun on the lake and Mount Katahdin in the distance. We landed at the seaplane base and my parents got a rental car to go to our cabin. Finally, we arrived at our cabin around the evening and got our rooms situated.

Reflections
Across the street there’s a park with a pond in the center. Well, technically the maps refer to it as a “reservoir” but I like calling it a pond. It’s got a lot of ducks, geese, and squirrels that like to hang out there. My girlfriend and I love going there, especially to clear our heads.
