I never told my parents I had become a federal judge. To them, I was still the family disappointment—the son who “dropped out” and never returned home with flashy success. My sister, Emily, was the opposite in their eyes: confident, admired, and always defended. When I visited for my father’s birthday that year, nothing…

The overnight flight from Chicago to London carried 243 passengers across the Atlantic like a quiet secret. Most of the cabin was asleep—heads tilted against headrests, thin airline blankets pulled up to chins, seatback screens throwing that soft blue glow onto faces that weren’t really watching anything. In 8A, a Black man in a wrinkled…
Not long ago, I gave my husband one of my kidneys. I didn’t hesitate. When the transplant coordinator asked if I was sure, I said, “Test me first. I don’t care what it takes.” I believed love meant sacrifice. I believed saving his life would bind us closer. Two days after surgery, still…

I lay perfectly still, letting the morphine soften my breathing and slacken my limbs, pretending it had taken me completely under. It hadn’t. The room smelled of antiseptic and something metallic, like fear disguised as cleanliness. Machines hummed. My heart monitor kept steady time. And through the haze, I heard Ethan lean close to my…

Paddy, a man whose life was a series of minor, yet memorable, mishaps, stood at the boarding gate, clutching his tick et with the ferocity of a squirrel hoarding nuts. He was headed to Hawaii for a much-anticipated vacation, his first in fifteen years. The gate agent, a harried young woman, called out, “Final boarding for flight 714 to Honolulu!” Paddy beamed, shuffling forward with a confidence that bordered on aggressive. “That’s me!” he declared, presenting his ticket. The agent scanned it, then frowned. “Sir, this ticket is for flight 714, yes, but it’s for Honolulu, Nebraska, departing from gate B12. This is gate A7, for Honolulu, Hawaii.” Paddy’s smile faltered, then dissolved into a look of utter bewilderment, as if she’d just told him his shoes were made of cheese. “Honolulu… Nebraska?” he repeated, his voice rising an octave. “There’s a Honolulu in Nebraska?” The agent sighed, already gesturing for the next passenger. “Yes, sir. It’s a small town. Population of about 200, I believe.” Paddy stood rooted to the spot, the tropical paradise he’d been dreaming of replaced by visions of cornfields and a general store. He looked down at his floral Hawaiian shirt, the lei around his neck, and the brand new ukulele slung over his shoulder. He felt like an extra in a very confused movie. “But… but the brochure had palm trees!” he stammered, holding up a crumpled pamphlet that clearly depicted sandy beaches and turquoise waters. The agent didn’t even look up. “Different Honolulu, sir. Perhaps you should check your booking details more carefully next time.” With a deflated sigh, Paddy slowly turned away from the gate to Hawaii, the faint sound of steel guitars seeming to mock him. He now had to figure out how to get to gate B12 and, more importantly, what one even did in Honolulu, Nebraska, when dressed for a luau. He had a feeling his ukulele skills were about to get a very unexpected audience.
