Seasons Greetings! A Poem From Hillary: Entry #114
By Lari Vine
Dear Diary, I’ve written a poem for the holidays! It helps me get out my anger so much more constructively than shouting at the help or running over squirrels with the limousine. ‘Twas the night before Christmas (and Hanukah, too.

Whatever had caused his injury […]

By Susan Ouellette
Gabe peered around the corner. The office door was wide open, the chair at the desk empty. It might be his last chance.
