The Water Cycle
The river’s depths were so murky that Carey almost collided with the bottom before she saw it. As she gently pushed deeper, out of the darkness her hands uncovered the smoothest rock she’d ever seen. Barely the size of her palm, and so pure white it almost seemed to glow in the dirt. It begged to be touched. Carey felt drawn to feel its weight in her palm, mold her hand around it, smooth her fingers along its surface. She hovered for several moments, never in her life had something been so desired, and so close.

Gender in Doctor Who
I think we need to talk about Doctor Who. Specifically, I’ve got some thoughts I need to share about the recent seasons. There has been a lot of talk about the past two seasons, the introduction of a female Doctor, and the general quality of the show. To be completely honest, I’m getting extremely tired and frustrated of the articles and blogs about how the problem with the show IS the Doctor being female. I personally believe this is not the reason for any issues the show has had. Have the recent seasons been perfect? No, of course not. And if you’ll allow me, I’ll tell you why I think that really is.

Why science fiction is the best genre
Science Fiction is a genre similar to that of fantasy that uses futuristic and often times far-fetched ideas to tell a story. This encompasses varying levels of believability. From crappy movies about dangerous and alien life forms invading a small town in the middle of America, to epic adventures in the far depths of space, and everything in between, science fiction treats us to mind bending adventures while also serving as a commentary on our own lives.
