Little House on the Prarie
Our apartment is a landfill. The table where we eat our meals has been taken over by slouching piles of neglected mail and paperwork.

Grandma
“I’ll fold the rest of the diapers,” I said to April as she walked downstairs with Alleke in one arm. I walked into the dining room and sat down at my laptop to check email one last time before going to bed. I wrote a few emails, got a drink of water from the kitchen, [...]
