When he got out of bed, the moon was moving in the sky. As it always was, of course, but with more excitement that day than usual. It was common place for the moon to be seen in the daytime, but today It would meet the sun face to face and wear its fiery crown, as The Earth looked on, far below. It was a big day for the moon, but for Stanley, not so much. Just another passing shadow added to a life Where everything was painted with a leaden umbra. When he opened his eyes, his room overflowed with a dull gloom More than darkness, as if the blackness in his dreams spilled Out of his…

A Memorable Day
Memorable writing that sparks imagination. Lean in. Hear the writer’s voice on the page. A Memorable Day By Cheryl Moore We had arrived in Mashad, a city in north east Iran, the night before. It is the site of the holy Shrine of Imam Ali Reza, the eighth Imam, a site where the followers of the Shi’a branch of the Islamic faith make pilgrimage. The mosque was a beautiful, gleaming white structure with four minarets, one at each corner. Women must cover up with a chador to enter. As I didn’t own one, I had to borrow one, but it only came to my midi-calf, not my ankles, as it did on Iranian women. My pale skin and blue eyes gave me away as a foreigner. I couldn’t just blend in. Before entering we had to take off our shoes and leave them outside on the steps. I hoped mine…
