Sun and Care A.L.F. by Sander Blome
The monitor light disturbs my sleeping roommate. Growling under
his breath, he dislikes my hours, my computer, and my sedentary
lifestyle. I have adjusted. I’ve lived in this Assisted Living
Facility for the mentally ill three years to his three months.
He’ll adjust if he accepts he has an illness.
Sander Blome (b. 1956), B.S.M.E., J.D., writes about inner thought and the complexities of making life decisions. Born in Baltimore, Md and raised in Toledo, Oh, Sander has made SW Florida his home for the past 23 years.

Fiery Love by Sander Blome
Crying, she wipes frantically at a fallen cigarette ember. The burn hurts; the ruined thin white blouse hurts more. The new purchase was meant for my parents. She’s seeking their acceptance before we live together. Sobbing, she blurts out, “I’m a failure. Nothing ever works.” Immediately, I propose.
Sander Blome maintains his stability by writing poetry and fiction from his residence in Southwest Florida. A writing tutor by profession, Sander is adding to his engineering and law degrees this fall, entering the literature program at the University of South Florida. His credits are listed at Trim, http://sander-blome.blogspot.com.

Sleep Aide by Sander Blome
Kathy, SunGate’s shapely housemother, finally responds to Will's advances. “Sneak into my bedroom after meds.” Sting croons “Message in a Bottle,” Kathy coos, “Just cuddle” and Will reaches underneath Kathy’s nightgown.
“Out!” Kathy yelps. Right then, Restoril’s dazing effect grips Kathy’s bedmate.
At breakfast, Kathy tests Will’s befogged memory. “Rested?"
Sander Blome denies life as a bipolar twice a day when he medicates. Now a British and American Literature major at University of South Florida, he is at work on a first book of poetry. www.sander-blome.blogspot.com.
