SALT
Introduction Charlie Solevar, a man in his early 30s, returns to Salt Lake City after deployment to settle the affairs of his recently deceased paternal grandmother. He comes back to the apartment where he grew up, haunted by a flood of unresolved memories and the lingering absence of his mother, Birdie, who disappeared when he was twelve. Grief-stricken and grappling with an emotional void, Charlie spirals into a strange twilight state, convinced that the universe is trying to communicate with him through the remaining letters in expired cans of alphabet soup.

The Adventures of Ice Cream Man
Have you ever had a lick of ice cream that changed your life?--because I have. I was walking through the park one hot, sunny day when I came across an ice cream stand. I asked the clerk for a chocolate-vanilla swirl on a Belgian waffle cone. Everything changed when I took that first tongue-full. The cold hit me with a brain freeze going eighty miles an hour. I sat down as the world around me swam.

The Dead End Mall
As the early spring rain pattered, tickling the car windshield, Val cautiously drove from the merchandising meeting, the marketing influencer attended, inside the ghostly beach front boardwalk hotel. Peering to her left, the collegiate University, where the gaming schemer studied, made its landmark appearance, reminding the successful entrepreneur, where everything was headed.

Bedtime Absurdities
All 35-lbs of Gerald Tully stood on top of his rocker screaming, ”No bed!! No bed!!” Mr and Mrs. Tully looked at one another. Dark half moons clung to their eyes like the boogers caked to their walls. Mrs Tully’s hair was falling out of her bun and Mr. Tully had yet to change out of his work clothes.
