Fiction: The Goalie, Part 2

Fiction. Final Installment — The game was Sunday so Saturday was their day for shopping and watching the sights. They walked thru town to the tune of cars honking their way along the street, youths hanging out the windows holding banners or flags of Japan or Argentina. Fans walked wearing their colors – It’s-a-boy blue and white for Argentina and the red rising-sun-on-white for Japan. Many wore the flags of their countries as capes. Faces were painted with the colors of their teams. At a sidewalk café a group of young boys crowded around a table that appeared to belong to some of the Argentine players.

Daniel Matthews

It was one the hottest summers in over twenty years, or so the old timers kept saying. We were in a drought and every Sunday as the preacher prayed for rain, though my head was bowed, I hoped against it. For us, rain wasn’t what we needed most. We were in a race against time.

Mark & Tiffany Bulgin : What Would We Do for Our Own Kids?

Walking into The IKE Box in downtown Salem, Oregon is more than just walking into a coffee shop-slash-concert venue. It’s walking into a story painted with a palette that contains varying splotches of emotions, sacrifices, and experiences. It’s walking in, around, and through a story that makes one proud to be a contributor by simply walking in, around, and through it.
