Horizontal Stripes

"I picked up the pile of clothes I had been given and unfolded them. There was a long, one-piece jumpsuit that had black and white stripes running horizontally. It looked just like the prison suits you saw prisoners in old photos wearing. There was no way I was ever going to put it on." —AMBUSH by Obert Skye

Humans

"Well, to tell the truth, I'm half black. Mom is black, and Dad is white. They call it biracial. I don't know who came up with that term, but I don't like it too much. If it were up to me, we'd all just be humans, and leave it at that." —THE OWLS HAVE COME TO TAKE US AWAY by Ronald L. Smith

Paraphernalia

"The two-story shop's walls were covered floor to ceiling with bookshelves and autographed black-and-white photographs of famous magicians. Every surface was cluttered with magical items of every sort: crystal balls, decks of cards, top hats, wands, capes, and even a human skull." —THE MAGIC MISFITS by Neil Patrick Harris
