A Moment In The Sun
He couldn't believe how amazing it felt to be free of the anguish and suffering he'd endured for so long. He fled this hellhole!
On an outcropping he sat, legs dangling over, watching the tiny ripples in the lake below. Looking towards the rising sun, it seemed to have sped up as it moved across the sky, a shadow of some type, nearly black, just behind it.
He watched as they raced above him, sun in the lead with shadow in tow, heading to the far side of the world. Now motionless, the darkness grew until the sun vanished entirely.

He Will Think I Don't Love Him Anymore
Seven-year-old Ava Mendez fidgets with Mimi's cellphone in her lap.
Abruptly it rings. She smacks the green button. A recording informs her it's a free call from her daddy, being recorded.
Press one to accept. Hastily she slams her little finger onto the keypad.
Horror grips her sullen face as tears flow uncontrollably, realizing she pressed the number two in haste.
Nothing but dial tone. She wails for her Mimi. "I have to talk to my daddy," she cries.
Daddy, in a holding cell waiting for deportation, has not forgotten nor heard her angelic voice in three days and nights.
