The Meeting
The sun's light burns everything around it, including my phone screen. Couldn't have Maribel chosen a better place to meet? There's surely better places to sit and talk together than a remote "park" filled with concrete and metal. Where are my trees? Where is the sweet, sweet grass that I always lay down in? This shouldn't be called a park.
