Hasty judgments, classroom taunts, racial epithets

A flat tire, a rescue cat, a winter in Antartica

A pack of dogs, a husband’s secret, an obsessive ex

A frustrated virgin, a thwarted athlete, a female firefighter

The kindness of strangers, the vicissitudes of life, the merry-go-round at the mall

A good teacher, a shared meal, a heartfelt apology​

Riding with strangers, praying to Mary, looking for fire

A late arrival, a second chance, another woman’s husband

Sexual fantasies, false pretenses, needless apologies

Exploring a cave, losing a sibling, seeking a lover
