| He finished reading the chapter on paradoxes and agreed with the author. You can’t change the past. He thought again about the grandfather paradox: if you travel back in time and kill your grandfather, then you would not be born, so you couldn’t go back to kill him, so you would be born, and so on. It was a paradox only until you realized that you can’t change the past.

| With a sigh, Muriel yanked Scrabble out of the hall closet and hip checked the door shut. She trudged downstairs, slammed the game box on the dining room table and sighed again. Ron peeked over his newspaper at his wife, then dove back under cover to avoid setting Muriel off anew. The Schroeders were in no mood to host the bi-weekly Friday evening Scrabble-and-wine with the Harlows.

| The next morning began with quiet, homey sounds: the creak of wood on wood, a mildly reverberating clang, the snick of a cupboard door opening and closing. Each one brought me closer to full consciousness, so when I heard the soft pop of a plastic lid opening and smelled irresistibly delicious coffee grains, my eyes finally unstuck themselves. Alex was standing at the counter, scooping fragrant brown grounds into a metal pot. He was already dressed neatly in his light green uniform shirt and khaki shorts, with the mirrored sunglasses propped on top of his head.

| The massive, humpbacked grizzly threw its black snout in the air and snuffled loudly. It rocked back and forth on its powerful forelegs, pushed itself up to a menacing two-legged stance and raised its huge head so that it towered above my own as I crouched, breathless, at the base of a scraggly willow. Its maw gaped open, and saliva dripped off lips hanging loosely from sharp edged teeth.

| 5:30 a.m. The irritating beep of the alarm clock woke me abruptly, and I was up preparing for another work day. There wasn’t a minute to spare. I had to report for work by 6:45 a.m. I peeked through the window and wanted to scream! There had been a heavy snowfall overnight, my husband was away, and my two student offspring were still sleeping. I turned on the radio just in time to hear the announcement of school closures for the day. The students had a ‘storm day.’ The mere words turned me into a mass of anticipatory stress. What would these two partners in crime do or undo today? |

At the break of dawn every Sunday morning since I can remember, the entire Whitman clan got ready for the 9 am “breaking of bread” service. Sunday mornings came early at our house; however, none of us had been out late, or stayed up late, having a wild time like most of the world did on Saturday nights, because, as my dad would remind us:
“Sunday is the Lord’s day, and we must begin readying ourselves for worship on Sundays by Saturday night.”

| He liked working at night. At first he’d worried that he would find it eerie, but it wasn’t long before he discovered he enjoyed being alone, in the hush of after-midnight, erasing the marks made during the day, getting everything neat and clean for the morning. The sloppy swishing of his mop was soothing in its monotony, and the fact that he had made the same movements thousands – maybe millions – of times before gave him the satisfaction of certainty. He plunged the mop yet again into the wheeled bucket, and dragged it backward with him a few more feet.
