Dear Universe,
Could you make an exception?
Please show me that death is not scary.
Or at least what it is like so I'll know.
Every single day I have many moments of panic.
These strange fears that my brain is about to explode.
Please heal me from this plague on my brain.
Living in constant fear should not be a legal thing.
Please allow me to be left alone.
I'll never ask for another thing
No matter how much the pain.
Sincerely,
Janice

The Harvest
Koyi wobbled to her shabby wood and straw kaz, holding her machete and an old burlap bag with some yams. Someone had laid another basket in front of the patched up door—rose apples today. They were a bright reddish pink, looking waxy and crisp, just the way she liked them. The culprit knew her very well. Those would be crunchy, juicy and sweet—she could tell—but she gathered all the will she could muster and pushed the basket aside to enter her home. She had already said no repeatedly and would not be taking bribes.
