My father’s personal victory, his
sense that he had arrived in this terra nova, was realized the first time
he was able to buy our Christmas toys at Simpson’s. He saw it as an
opportunity to bury our ethnicity, leave Kensington Market, Joe’s Fish
and SASMART to shop where os ingleses shopped. - Anthony De Sa

The man sitting at the table sucking
his Canadian beer was Billy. Billy was watching the comedian who'd been on
at the Rexy for the third night. The comedian was getting under his skin,
and Billy, who'd been hearing more chatter in his head for no reason
lately, was nursing a slow hostility. - Janina Hornosty

"You’re an islandophile," Hildy
argued, her rabid mouth frothing. "What in the world’s so bad about
being landlocked?" - Lisa Polisar

Turning she began unbuttoning her dress with
her left hand as she produced a handful of condoms from her pocket with
her right. "So what's your pleasure?" - Michael O'Neill
Lynn stands and tiptoes over to Alex.
With a mischievous grin she gives him an unexpected kiss. "It’s
times like this when I’m so happy you’re here," she whispers and
returns to her seat. - Corin Cummings

A tiny horse lay cushioned inside,
wrapped in wrinkled tissue. Bisque glazed a creamy tan, it had a black
mane that flowed down its neck and touched the curve of its back. I'd
never seen anything so delicate. - Thea Atkinson
The American Hospital charges
twenty-thousand dirhams, which is outrageous. You hadn't realized, until
it was too late, that it wasn't covered by insurance. It had never even
occurred to you that this was a possibility. Your wife is afraid here, at
the government clinic, because no one speaks English and the staff is
unfriendly. - Yusouf Mohammad
