Excerpt from the Short Story - Zahid's Library Card

Excerpt from Zahid's Library Card Then Zahid realized he was wasting precious time and returned his focus to his homework. “What on earth is a dangling modifier?” he asked himself. These were not words in his Conversational English Dictionary. “Hey, you’re the new kid, right?” the boy with the cross asked. Zahid turned in his seat and nodded, glad for the friendly interaction. He held up his paper. “Forgot to do my homework already,” he explained. “The language still confuses me.” “Here, let me help you,” the boy offered. He started spelling out the words Zahid needed to write down. Zahid was beyond grateful for the help. The words were utterly unfamiliar to him. He knew that he shouldn’t have been cutting corners and letting the boy just give him the answers, but he told himself it was only this once. And it was under extreme circumstances.

He wagged his finger. “We’ll burn that bridge when we come to it.” She smiled at the memory, but she couldn’t help but think that a Jew going to a Catholic school sounded like the beginning of a bad joke.

Excerpt from The Cupcake Incident After an awkward, but warm meeting with Chiara’s mom and brother, Peter and Chiara made their way to the kitchen to start their extra credit project. He was impressed – though not surprised – to find everything laid out in an organized fashion. “Wow,” he said. “You like to bake?” “Well, yeah,” she answered with a shrug. “It’s such a simple way to make people happy. And this recipe is especially good for that.” She held her nose high. “It’s been passed down through the family for generations, perfected by my Great Aunt Johanna – God rest her soul. It’s guaranteed to bring sunshine and happiness to all who eat it,” she declared dramatically. He flashed a sideways grin. “You have a lot of those, huh?” “Of what?” she asked. “Family recipes, handed down for generations?” “Oh,” she considered it. “I guess we do. Tradition is important to us Marinos. And anyway, once you eat the cupcakes, you’ll totally see why,” she finished wi
