A
Real Winner
by
Richard Combs
I’m
eight years old and in the second grade. If I hadn’t been
held back I would have been in the third, and I’m pretty
sure that means that I would now be nine instead of eight. I’m
a little confused about that.
My mom said that I had been held
back to allow me time to adjust....

How
to Make a Life
by
Florence
Reiss Kraut
By
a stroke of luck Elena Rodriguez’ son Alex, standing on the
porch of his mother’s two family house in the Bronx and
holding his baby daughter in his arms, turned his back just
at the instant the car drove down the street. Who knows
why. Maybe it wasn’t luck. Maybe Alex saw the glint
of steel, the gun-flash reflected in the window, just before he
turned, taking the bullet below his left shoulder so that it
pierced his heart and left his baby unharmed....

The
Education of Arthur Woehmer,
by
Doug Margeson
Arthur
Woehmer’s education, the education that would define the
rest of his life, began with him bouncing a ball against a brick
wall.
It was a big, soft playground ball and the wall was
high, blank and made of the rough-edged Roman brick that
characterized many schools of the time; sturdy stuff, in any
case, unlikely to be altered by the concussion of three ounces of
inflated rubber. ...

Hands
by
Chelsey Clammer
Your
body tears, shatters.
But
first, you were
walking
home at night, thinking about how your ex was an asshole for
ripping down every precious picture of you from her office walls,
threw them into a box in the middle of your apartment floor,
waited for you to discover the silent rage before you moved out
the next day.

A
Boomer Thinks about God,
by
Jim Krosschell
First,
some definitions:
“A Boomer” - I doubt that my
parents, bringing three boys into the world in the 1950s, knew
that they were contributing to the healthiest, wealthiest, most
self-indulgent and individualistic generation in the history of
the world. Pete and Kat hoped they were contributing their
principles – love of God and country (mostly God) –
tithe cause of peace on earth; but it didn’t quite work out
that way in my family, and my parents must have been bewildered
at the devolvement of their principles into my “lifestyle.”

Wearing
My Genes: Understanding What Happened
by
Kelly Palmer
My
younger brother, Logan was having an overnight play date, so it
was just Mum and I at home that night. The loud music was
irksome, so I found Mum in her room and asked her to turn the
volume down. She was lying still, exact. I crawled onto the bed
and stared, waiting for movement. Was she dead? …

The
Heartbreak Business
by
Richard Schmitt
When
my daughter went into the horse business at age six, she wisely
favored the promotional side—she knew better than to follow
her parents into thoroughbred training. She’d seen our
daily fights and frustrations, watched our work and worry, felt
the despair when three years of work and expense becomes wasted
by misstep, bowed tendon, shattered ankle, contrary attitude,
mystery malaise, or just plain slowness...
