Sarah Martinez had never really thought about eclipses until she found herself standing in her grandmother’s backyard in Oregon during the 2017 total solar eclipse.

Maria stared at her phone for the third time that evening. Her sister had texted again: “Can you pick up Mom from the doctor tomorrow? I know you said you’re swamped, but you’re so much better at handling her questions.” The familiar knot formed in Maria’s stomach. She’d already explained she had back-to-back meetings all … Read more

Sarah stares at her energy bill, the numbers glowing accusingly on her phone screen. £247 for January alone. Her flatmate Jake swears by leaving their heating on low all winter—”keeps the place steady, no shock heating costs.” But Sarah’s been switching it on and off, cranking it up when she gets home from work, then … Read more

Sarah still remembers the exact moment that song changed her life. She was sixteen, sitting in her friend’s beat-up Honda Civic in a McDonald’s parking lot at midnight.

But the king cobra coiled inside a freight wagon filled with coconuts? … Read more

Sarah had always been a light sleeper, but something changed when she moved into her new apartment last spring.

Her head felt foggy, her throat dry, and mornings became a sluggish crawl toward her … Read more

Sarah Martinez stepped onto her Chicago porch last Tuesday, expecting to brace against February’s usual bite. Instead, she found herself peeling off her winter coat in 55-degree weather. “My daffodils are already poking through,” she said, staring at her garden in confusion. “In February. In Chicago.” Down the street, neighbors were washing cars in t-shirts … Read more

Sarah stared at her thermostat display in disbelief. The number kept jumping between 18°C and 21°C, while the little flame icon flickered on and off like a confused Christmas light. Outside, frost painted her windows, and inside, her heating bill from last month still made her wince. “This thing must be broken,” she muttered, jabbing … Read more

Margaret was seven years old when her grandmother handed her a twenty-dollar bill on a busy Saturday morning in 1971. “Take this to the bank, honey.
