    My name is Mina. I’m 17 and I’m kind of boring. All I do with my life is sit at home, go to school and my job. My family is Italian. They are loud and take up a lot of space. It doesn’t leave much room for me, but I don’t mind. I prefer to observe the world around me and take it all in, rather than contribute and disturb it. I think that’s why I enjoy my job so much.

My days are no longer filled with the sheer terror of war but rather with my sweet Leo’s sure brush strokes as he works the burrs out of my mane or soaps th...kGBone door

    Pandemic Problems

    Anthony Fauci was smiling on the television in a large crowd of people who were gathered in an enclosed space. It was the perfect TV moment. The president gave a short speech about the strides they’d made globally with the pandemic and a new, adaptive vaccine that is effective against all SARS viruses, but the star of the show was Fauci, whom the camera followed as though he were the bride at a wedding. He shook hands and leaned in to speak in people’s ears.Jenna didn’t look at her phone. She knew she’d be flooded with texts. Fauci said it’s over! Come out to dinner! Come to my wedding! For a ...kGBone door
