1998, and a mid-morning in March with the icicles melting into the sun at the cul-de-sac in Gabriella Groves.

Oh to be here.

Saturday tomorrow, and that ice-skating day. Two middle schoolers taking lessons. The baby inching along on her double runners. A good thing she has such a padded-up snowsuit. Falling doesn’t hurt that way. She can almost bounce right back up. A tutor from the skating school, next year, maybe, but not until then. Not advanced enough to need more help than a mother whose skating lessons were a few years ago can impart.

my new short fiction piece published to my Substack at the link if you’d like to read the rest.
