West Nile via Marietta
It was summer in Marietta, it hadn’t rained in two weeks. Her eyes opened with the noise – the agonizing buzz of mosquitos. Primrose waved them away and flopped over on her bed in irritation, groaning quietly to herself. In four nights she hadn’t slept at all; back home, even in August the nights cooled down enough to sleep easily. Again the buzzing came, and again she waved it away, then with a sigh of frustration she sat up, flinging the thin sheet off her naked body; her sister Charmaine lay still in the other bed, and she carefully crept by and across the hall.

Times Are Hard for Dreamers
Our story, like so many, begins with a main character.Her name is Mireille, and she is a writer. A poet, more specifically, one born to a poor family in the south of France.

Fool's Lie
“You ever notice how we got people dressing up all the time for stuff like Christmas, those goofy red hats with a white jingle ball on top. Easter, everyone going out in these bonnets all made up with plastic fruit and flowers, rabbits handing out chocolate covered eggs. Valentines, talking candy boxes, mints with writing on them. Halloween, you choose, can be anyone or anything; they got it all covered. But take something real special, like the Fools Day, and people don’t do a thing. I know it’s one of those days when you are supposed sneak up on people, but couldn’t you do that in an outfit ...
