Once upon a time—of all the good days in the year, on Christmas Eve—old Scrooge sat busy in his counting-house. It was cold, bleak, biting weather: foggy withal: and he could hear the people in the court outside, go wheezing up and down, beating their hands upon their breasts, and stamping their feet upon the pavement stones to warm them. The city clocks had only just gone three, but it was quite dark already-it had not been light all day-and candles were flaring in the windows of the neighbouring offices, like ruddy smears upon the palpable brown air.

Alexis woke up in front of her computer screen with her forehead resting on the back of her hands. A string of drool fell from her mouth onto the mouse pad as her alarm beeped incessantly. She shot up from her chair, wiped her mouth, and took in her surroundings. Confused as to why she was not in her bed, she thought about how she had been working on her computer before she fell asleep. I must’ve passed out while working, she thought.

Nothing happened the first three innings. Well, things happened but not in my little part of the softball field. I started daydreaming. The next thing I knew, I heard the sound of a ball whizzing through the air. I put up my
glove to protect my head, and an amazing thing happened. I caught the ball in my glove! Not only did I catch the ball, but I helped my team to win.

The intercom activated with a dinging noise, signaling the start of the pre-flight briefing and safety demonstration. Having flown many times before, Louise knew by heart the instructions on how to use the oxygen mask or flotation device, in case the plane crashed on land or in water.

When Eleanor’s father died, she took to the beach with her kite. From that afternoon on, her days were steady and predictable: she woke up, ate breakfast, took the bus to school, walked home, dropped her book bag in the front hall, and lifted her kite from its hook on the wall. She took the steps to the shore lightly, as though she might somehow slip and fall, but when she hit the sand she ran.

That night I slept in my grandma’s office on the futon. I got hungry around midnight so I snuck into the kitchen for a late night snack. The rest of the sugar cookies screamed my name so I ate every last crumb. The cookies made me so thirsty that I drank milk right out of the carton.
