Sprinting wildly as raindrops galloped across the ground, she could see the warehouse door in the distance, slamming open and shut with each howl of the wind.

Alexa Winnik

She knew that she shouldn't have left her dog tied up outside of the coffee shop, and she could still remember her sad whelps before she turned around and saw he was gone, his leash abandoned on the ground.

With the raindrops fighting for space with the tears already streaming down her cheeks, she shielded her face and wiped her eyes as she neared the door. 

Samantha Hammer

Catching hold of the door's rusty edge, she heard the window pane above shatter into birdshot and crouched, hands flying back to shield her rain-soaked head, as what felt like a garbage bag full of soggy vegetables slammed into her back.

Ryan Weber

Except, when she turned around to see what hit her, she discovered it wasn't a garbage bag of vegetables at all, but a small lumpy man shaped like a sack of wet produce.

Meanwhile the sky was darkening further and she knew she would be late for her appointment at 6pm.  And if she missed it, well, she knew there might not be a chance for a second one.

This was--without a doubt--turning out to be one of the strangest days of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's life.

Alexa Winnik

"Sammy!  What are you doing here?" Ginsburg suspiciously asked her fellow justice, now crumpled on the wet ground next to her.

Josh McKenrick

"I see you got my message, RBG," wheezed Justice Alito, clutching his left side as he rose to his bare, and now soaked feet.

Swaying to his full height, the dissheveled justice rustled through his robes and produced a blue-tipped e-cigarette, clenched between clammy fingers.

Ryan Weber

After an uncomfortably long drag, he announced, "Ruth, there's something you should know:  I'm pregnant, and it's yours."

Sara KB

Ruth laughed.  "This is not Junior and you are not Arnold Schwarzenegger," she said.

Ethan Wagner

"By Jove, that was a great flick, wasn't it," he chuckled whimsically, before snapping back to attention like a pair of misbegotten suspenders: "Since you've apparently forgotten about our Cockney rhyming code, let me say it more clearly--you look regnant, and I've brought s'mores," he cooed.

Alexa Winnik

Ruth looked at the broken graham crackers and marshmellow smear surrounding her and felt deflated--the two had always bonded over their shared love of s'mores, but still, she wondered: why was he here, where her dog was imprisoned?

Josh McKenrick

Ruth gestured to her fellow justice, about to ask him to clarify the situation, when a loud, odd crackling sound from inside the building interrputed her.
