Excerpt from the Short Story - The Cupcake Incident

WARNING: Spoilers ahead! 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 s...

Excerpt from the Short Story - Mac's Character Arc

WARNING: Spoilers ahead! Excerpt from Mac's Character Arc Sixth Grade As Mac waited in the office space of her new school, she stretched out the collar of her crisp, navy blue sweatshirt and read the line of secret script written on the inside: “Why are you so downcast, my soul, why do you stir within me? Hope in G-d.” She, of course, had been careful not to write the full name of G-d, as it was too sacred to write on material that could be destroyed. Mac had stayed up late the previous night to write multiple lines all over the inside of her sweater with a silver permanent marker. It was her way of keeping the words of G-d close to her. This one particular line was her answer for every problem and worry, so she had written it over her heart. Why am I so downcast? she thought. I’m only starting a new school. In the middle of the semester. And everyone already knows each other. And they all have the same religion. And I’m a stranger in a strange land. Mac si...

Excerpt from the Short Story - Peter's Bad Day

WARNING: Spoilers ahead! Excerpt from Peter's Bad Day “I don’t care what the Buddha said, I am never going to forgive you for this,” Peter grumbled to Rob as Chiara followed Sensei Charlie into the kitchen. Rob had been teasing Chiara and driving Peter crazy ever since they had knocked on the door. Peter was not having a good day. “Oh?” Rob feigned innocence while he bounced Suzy against his shoulder. “Would you rather I just told her you had the runs?” “Wait, what?” Peter had to think a moment, to remember the incident. “That was, like, two years ago!” Sensei Rob grinned. “I told you I’d get back at you when you least expected it.” “Seriously? That’s what this is about? If I had known I never would have brought her to meet you!” Rob laughed. “Alright, I’ll stop,” he promised. Suzy squirmed on Rob’s lap until she was facing Peter. He took a few moments to make funny faces at her, winning a few smiles and giggles. “All joking aside,” Rob said, “She seems...
