    "The art museum was a lovely choice for a place to meetup," Becca said with a charming smile. Vaughn did feel charmed. He was nervous, but Becca seemed so confident. She had agreed to be there with him, hadn't she? There was no reason to be nervous, he told himself. "Yeah, I come here all the time," Vaughn said. "I don't actually know anything about art, but it makes for a pleasant atmosphere." Becca giggled, and Vaughn's ears got hot. "I don't know much about art, either, but I like the way it makes me feel," She winked. Vaughn's heart skipped a beat, but he held his composure enough to saywww.onedoor.cc,...945one door

    The First Sit-In

    February 1st, 2019   “The New York Museum of American History.”   I read the sign on the door as I walked in. The sign really was beautiful.

    The Art of Seeking

    I slip and fall hard on my back.  "Holy mother of God," I gasp as the wind is knocked out of me. I lay there for what feels like an eternity. I inhale and exhale, my stomach feeling tight and painful, and wait for my head to stop spinning. I get on my hands and knees, cursing my sister. Why, oh, why did I listen to her? Roller skating is most definitely not easy, and neither is it gracious.  A girl jogging by gives me a sympathetic smile. Perfect, I should’ve practiced somewhere other than the public park to avoid embarrassing myself. I slowly take the skates off my feet. I carry the rollerbla...945one door
