[EP] Shadows (OTA)

[st_ayedhidden]

It was early in the morning, around 5 AM, when Annie made her way to the cafe. It was earlier than most children her age chose to be awake, but she had been drawn out of her slumber from a bad dream again. She had a cup of white milk on the table along with several blank pieces of paper and crayons. There were also a lot of papers with drawings on it. What would be most noticeable was that all of them seemed similar in what they pictured. In each picture there was a big, black shadow that took up most of the space. It didn't look friendly.

Currently Annie was working on another shadow drawing. Her black crayon was well used at this point.

[EP] Pies (OTA)

Her mother had always made pie making look so easy. Amy DeLuca's pie were the best in Roswell and a selling point in Liz's parents' cafe. Maria decided to try and make some of her mother's famous Keylime pie to stave off the homesickness she was starting to feel. So far her attempts were poor.

"Third time's the charm, right?" She said as she slide a pie slice over to Brad. He had volunteered to help her taste-test and hadn't died from her two previous attempts. "I promise I put less salt in this one."

Brad nodded and dug in. He chewed thoughtfully. He then smiled.

"This isn't half bad," He said. "It tastes like Keylime this time for sure."

Maria took a bite of her own and pumped her arm.

"Yes!" She said. "Not quite as good as my mom's, but it's edible."

"I'll take this one to go," He said, lifting the plate with a nod.

Maria nodded back and watched as Brad walked over to the table he had previously been occupying. There was a series of psychology books strewn about. They all seemed focused on depression or other behavioral illnesses.

Maria took another bite of hers and looked over her hand-written recipe as she tried to decide what to change to make it more like mom's.
