On that day, he found a message that ultimately led to an epiphany that changed his life. I dabbed at my perspiration and repositioned myself on the bricks.

The day after we moved in, I got to know Mary, my neighbor. Before she became obsessed with my basement and kept asking about it, everything was going smoothly. What did the basement contain? And why did she want to know? It should feel like a new beginning when you move into a new house. A space to call your own, new walls, and new memories.

My heart pounded with anticipation, yet my hands remained still. I wasn’t the kind of…
My husband’s nurse pulled me aside during what I assumed was a routine hospital visit and said in a whisper, “Listen, I don’t want to alarm you, but… LOOK UNDER YOUR HUSBAND’S BED when you go back to the room.” I reached for my phone to ring 911 because I wasn’t ready for what I discovered. As I write this, I’m still in shock. The absurdity of it all makes me want to chuckle, but what about the other part? The other portion keeps playing back every tense moment from last Friday night. My husband, Ethan, has been in the…
