Madison Knight read the dismal bank balance before placing the laptop on the coffee table. Pity tears threatened to fall, but she blinked them back and held tight to the blanket draped over her shoulders. Sinking to the couch, she dreaded the Oregon winter, the challenging snowstorms, and now the holidays.

She sat perched upon the edge of her seat, her eyes downcast as she watched the white of the cream curl amidst the dark brown of the coffee. How many cups did this make within the last 24 hours? Her twelfth? Thirteenth? There had been one point in which she had almost had two in a row, were it not for the small voice in her head that had advised her otherwise. So, she had opted for water in its stead and immediately regretted it. Fifteen minutes later, the young Capulet found herself fighting to keep her eyelids open -- almost falling asleep while standing, a feat in itself. Had she mustered the selfishness and indifference towards her fellow Capulets, she might have allowed herself to fall asleep while they gave their reports and accepted

While Jane was in Germany, she saw women carrying large beer canisters on their backs across snowy walkways. The beer was steamy hot and would splash onto the women's faces and hands.

Caroline’s POV: Saturday morning. So relaxing, so refreshing. Peace. Serenity. The whole house is quiet. All I can hear is the bubbling of the coffee machine. It beeps. I pick up the coffee pot and watch the dark liquid ooze into my yellow mug. The morning is what I live for. No children are up to bother me about stupid things.

I’m late. The Starbucks line was long and the coffee stain is still splattered on my black skirt. I check my calendar, September 11. The city’s smog is killing me.
