		<description><![CDATA[Dan Coxon &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; For the first week the wallet sat next to the phone. David would eye it cautiously as he left for work each morning, as if he expected it to burst into flames, or come to life and flap clumsily across the room. All it did was slowly gather a thin film of dust. &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; When he&#8217;d seen it lying half-hidden beneath the grocery store&#8217;s magazine stand his first reaction had been to find someone to pass it to, a simple transfer of responsibility. As he&#8217;d stared vacantly at the bulging square of leather, though, he&#8217;d caught a glimpse of his reflection in the plastic sheen of the counter, and he&#8217;d balked. The last two years had been unkind to his waistline and his hairline alike. The checkout girl had turned her eyes away from him, her expression returning to a bored, blank slate, and he had little doubt that its contents would end up divided among her friends in a strip-lit back room. &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; It was only as he bent stiffly to pick it up, his back straining to complete this simple maneuver, that the realization hit him. He had seen this particular wallet before. It took [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mathieu Cailler &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160;Penn continued to drive through the night. Snow and gales of wind assailed his SUV as he barreled towards home, his foot steady on the gas, his mitts positioned firmly at ten and two. Heat billowed from the vents on the dashboard and moved loose strands of hair on his face. Penn didn&#8217;t want to replay the scenario &#8211; the quiet hotel room, the closed drapes, the underwear on the floor, the moaning, the taste of her lips &#8211; but the SUV&#8217;s quiet cabin was a hotbed for reflection. &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; His headlights brushed a green highway sign, indicating that there were eighty-nine miles left on his journey home. With the winter weather, it might take Penn three hours, but that was all right. How would he look at Kimberly after what he&#8217;d done? Don&#8217;t marry young, people had told him a few years ago when he&#8217;d passed around the idea of proposing. You haven&#8217;t tested the waters. Clich&#233; after clich&#233; came at him, and while the marriage advice was stale and up there with enjoy each day like it&#8217;s your last and don&#8217;t let anyone tell you something&#8217;s impossible, it wasn&#8217;t amiss. &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Do you have a boyfriend?&#8221; &#8220;It&#39;s okay,&#8221; I said, calming down their laughter. &#8220;No, no boyfriend.&#8221; &#8220;First love?&#8221; I turned to the chalkboard, glanced up at the ceiling, thinking of something to say. &#8220;Well, there was a boy I loved in college.&#8221; I sighed and spun back around to face them. &#8220;We were best friends, but one day, we had to say goodbye.&#8221; &#8220;Well, he was from another country. And he had to go back.&#8221; &#8220;So sad, teacher.&#8221; The girl who asked the question nodded as well, looked down at the paper on her desk. She was sitting at the bar, alone. I thought maybe she was an American&#8212;a Korean-American. Even at places like Casa Cabana, Koreans don&#39;t sit alone. &#8220;Hayden. Hayden Perry.&#8221; &#8220;It&#39;s a family name.&#8221; &#8220;My name is Minji,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Han Minji.&#8221; When Korean model and star Kim Ji-hoo came out in 2008, netizens flocked to his website and blog, denouncing him and harassing him. His agency refused to renew his contract; TV shows canceled appearances. The 23-year-old hanged himself in his home in Seoul in 2008&#8212;one of four Korean stars to commit suicide in one month. His suicide note said he was lonely and in a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[             Justine was patient, with her cell phone pressed to her ear as she listened to her dear friend Sarah, but she was tired of the “you’ve got to kiss a lot of frogs in order to find your prince” analogy she so often heard after yet another dreadful first date.  Sarah was not quite sixty and was in a long term “healthy” relationship with her boyfriend David.  They owned a sweet home and shared a charming life together in Culver City.  Justine knew Sarah spoke from an empathetic place of experience.  She had relayed many past nightmarish dating episodes, had a don’t take yourself too seriously sense of humor and had certainly lived to tell the tale and then some.              It was just that Justine’s cheeks hurt from all of the pretend smiling she’d done for the past two and a half hours and she was grateful that Sarah sensed her attempt at the patent consolatory quip was falling on deaf ears.   Justine hung up the phone. She knew that even though there was no kiss, the frog would call within two days and she would need to come up with some polite way of letting him [...]]]></description>
