Doorways
All that was on the news was reports of the doorways suddenly standing in obscure places all over the world. First, thought to be modern art or part of some political or ecological statement and movement the doorframes each with it’s door closed and locked with different types of locks raised little concern.

“Space Station 666”
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. “That’s just one scream singular…” I thought to myself after hearing that fact yet again. “The space station has over 100,000 residents with 5000 employees so I’m sure something would hear us if anything went seriously wrong and we ALL screamed.” I further assured myself while rolling my eyes and continuing to listen to the community acclimation orientation. The space station community is one of the newest and most luxurious ones ever. I had proudly been selected out of hundreds of thousands of applications for a lead service position onboard. It was my arrival and understood that the space trip would be my first and last as ALL the positions were under lifetime contracts.

They sped up in their vehicles and instinctively looked away. They ALWAYS looked away from whatever happened on and around that property when a candle was in the window. It was something they ALL had learned to do as a matter of self preservation.

Everyone has their own memories about ice cream from both childhood and as adults be they either positive or negative.
