C. S. FUQUA
Rows 

In thirteen years, she’s progressed from the first seat, front row, to last seat, back row, feet, in the beginning, dangling freely above the floor, swinging with impatience for keyboard mistakes and the rate of progression from seat to seat. In thirteen years, she’s played through minor slips of memory or finger mistakes she viewed as tragic, always aiming for perfection achieved in the last two pieces of the last recital before moving beyond the trials of childhood.

C. S. FUQUA
Opportunity

He calls five weeks after to say happy birthday, leaving a message that rambles on about getting old, arthritis, colds, and luck enough to be alive. At his age, it’s easy to forget things like children, even after fifty­four opportunities
