    Cinderella: Before and After My mother always said she was going to put her loose photos into an album. When she learned about digitizing photos, she said she would probably do that instead. In the end, she did nothing and the cancer caught up with her. Now she is lying here in a hospital bed, her frail white hand marked by a roadmap of blue veins pointing her to the end of her 78 years on earth. I sit next to her but I don’t reach for her hand. We have never been on those terms and it’s too late now. I have brought the photos to the hospital and to keep busy I am sorting through them. My mot...ChMone door

    Amy straightened her round glasses, brushed her overgrown strawberry-blond bangs out of her green eyes, and bent down to peer into the bottom left cabinet in her parents’ library.  It was black and stormy outside--had been all weekend, and she wanted to spend the day reading.  Since she had already finished all her homework (she was perhaps the only fifth grade student who felt she didn’t receive enough take-home assignments), she hoped she could find a book worthy of her time.  She then knelt on the floor and put her head all the way in the dark square cave.   There, she discovered a large w...ChMone door
