Carly hated birthdays. There was nothing special about birthdays, if anything it was just a milestone in the relentless race against time. A race that she, and everyone else, was inevitably losing.

Lily gingerly picked up the tray of melting cupcakes, looking with disdain at the small pool of frosting that had slopped onto the back seat of her car. Despite her best efforts, her baking never would live up to her mother’s impossible standards. Not that her mother had ever let her disappointment show; she had … Continue reading The Party
Much to Learn: The Middle
