A Vignette
By Maryanne Peters

Perhaps because my staff were always giving me a hard time about my old-fashioned manners and conservative style of dress, I was in favor of a diversity hire. We had two races other than white covered, so when I was looking for a new secretary the office manager put forward a candidate she described as “gender non-conforming”. I thought that it would be to test me, so I had no choice but to go through with an interview.

Stuck in the Middle


In this chapter, emotions run high as Emily finds herself in an unfamiliar place, wrestling with doubt, fear, and the weight of uncertainty. Surrounded by strangers, she searches for answers within herself, torn between the past and what lies ahead. As the world moves on around her, a quiet moment of unexpected kindness forces her to confront what she truly wants—and what she’s been running from.

Max sat in the quiet solitude of his study sipping on a dark colored liquor from Ariellian IV, when a noise caused him to glance up. It was Elise, she was wrapped in her robe and holding a cup of tea, the string swinging just outside. Max smiled and sat his drink down, "Come in Elise, sit with me awhile."

She slipped inside the room, and settled into a chair opposite her fathers. "What brings you up on such an early hour?
