The Rose Bowl Queen, Joe D'Angelo

The Angle

It's more sudden than a heart attack for some, and as gradual as a snail for others, but in the end, the results are all alike. Sweaty palms, …

"Greg walked into the office as he did everyday, setting his lunch down on the shiny metal table that sat adjacent to the door. Calling this place an office was an obvious stretch, but it was better than referring to it as the "Dead Drop-off," as the other coroner Bruce always refers to it. Every time the cops stopped by, they would remark about how absurd it was to call it the Coroner's office. They always mused at Bruce's not-so-subtle nickname."

"'Alone in the Company of the Father' comes to mind as I stand, right now, gazing down towards my end. Only have my fears been presented in poetry before, but never in reality. I suppose reality had something to do with me writing such a poem, but never have I attempted this. I stand here in the presence of God and his company, deciding my fate. Do I jump? I begin to ask myself agonizing questions as I try and reach the Lord, looking for help. I wonder if …

The Angle

"but the break from school seemed short in its entirety. The trust of our parents, who both worked at Eastman Kodak, left my older brother, Chad, and me at home without supervision. Although our obedience and contentment, or most likely our timidness usually kept us close to home, our days were typically filled with activities that help capture the moments and memories of youth and growing up. At the ages of eleven and fourteen it was not difficult to entertain ourselves, especially with the new addition of a swimming …

The contrast between the sharp, dark tones of the ocean and the glowing, vibrant tones of the sun were stunning. It had been many years since she had seen such a beautiful sunset. In more ways than one, she was wondering how much longer until she would see such beauty."
