ESSAYS
Wayfinding
by Susheila Khera
Running was relaxing, meditative, refreshing. Back then, I didn’t have a watch and my flip phone didn’t have GPS, so I don’t know how many miles I ultimately ran, probably around seven. After each exercise, I marveled at my endurance and pushed myself to go further and longer the next time.
I Ruined His Weekend
by Hannah Harlee
My family gathers to accompany me on my court date. I want to clutch one of their arms with both hands, but the gravity of the situation forces me to stand alone. If I get too close to someone who loves me, I’ll collapse right into them. If I stop holding myself up now, I won’t be able to stand again.
