A Love For The Ages - Part Five

Trials and Tribulations The next time Georgie and Bill had time to talk was two days later, on Wednesday. She had seen Bill and Gladys the day before, but the shift supervisor had given her fifteen patients, and Georgie was on the run all day. As she would tell Bill later, “No matter where I was, I...

A Love For The Ages - Part Four

And Then We Got Engaged Georgie didn’t get many breaks during the day. She had worked hard in her CNA training classes, but working in a facility differed from working in classroom situations. The teachers had assigned them to work with the easiest-to-care-for patients in training, but that wasn’t... Sign in to see full entry.

A Love For The Ages - Part Three

That First Time Bill stood beside his wife’s bed, holding her hand until she drifted back into her safe place in the part of her mind that was unaffected by the disease. He kissed her on the cheek, ran his hand over her face, swept a few stray hairs off her face, and kissed her again. “ She was such... Sign in to see full entry.

A Love For The Ages - Part Two

She Doesn’t Know The young lady hadn’t seen the old man, who was seated on the far side of the bed, until he stood up and kissed the woman in the bed. It took a moment, but the old woman quieted again. The man held and then kissed the woman’s hand as she closed her eyes and drifted off into another... Sign in to see full entry.

A Love For The Ages - Opening

A Love For The Ages by Verwayne Greenhoe Georgina Lewis felt the butterflies in her stomach take wing again as she pulled into the parking lot of her very first job. She had been the neighborhood babysitter for four years, but this was an actual job. Turning the engine off, Georgina, or “Georgie” as... Sign in to see full entry.

Jackie & Ken - Part Twenty Three FINAL

EPILOGUE – Morning, Again When Jackie came downstairs, the coffee had already brewed, which meant Ken had been up before her. That was new. She padded into the kitchen barefoot, wearing one of his shirts and her old flannel pajama pants. Her hair was a mess, and her eyes were still heavy with sleep,... Sign in to see full entry.

Jackie & Ken - Part Twenty Two

The Ask Ken didn’t hear her come in. He was out back, sitting on the steps of the deck, a beer half-warm beside him, eyes fixed on the tree line where the sun had disappeared hours ago. He looked tired, not physically, but in the way a man looks when he’s been carrying something too heavy, too long,... Sign in to see full entry.

Jackie & Ken - Part Twenty One

If It All Falls Apart Jackie sat in her car, parked on the side of a road she didn’t remember turning onto. Her hands were clenched around the steering wheel, her knuckles white. The world outside was still. The sun was about gone, becoming dusk, settling into full darkness, a golden glow dying... Sign in to see full entry.

Jackie & Ken - Part Twenty

The Hold Ken sat on the edge of his bed, elbows on his knees, phone in hand. The dark screen meant no new messages, and he hadn’t moved in for over an hour. He’d replayed the moment Jackie walked out at least a dozen times. The look in her eyes. Not anger. No rage. Just... hurt. Deep hurt. The kind... Sign in to see full entry.

Jackie & Ken - Part Nineteen

Fault Lines It started with a phone call Jackie wasn’t supposed to hear. She wasn’t snooping; she was walking back from the porch after watering the hanging plants, humming, feeling light. How you feel when life has finally stopped makes you hold your breath. Ken was in the kitchen, back turned,... Sign in to see full entry.
