The Girl On the Bluff
She awoke to the sound of waves crashing against the jagged rocks. Her eyes fluttered open and a smile stretched slowly across her face. She sat up and glanced at the clock that hung on her wall. It was just about to be five in the morning. Her family would not be getting up for another two hours or so. It was late August and the morning air chilled her bare arms. Goose bumps prickled up her skin as the wind danced through her open windows. She stood up to close them but stopped when she saw how beautiful the morning was.

Within the Heart
I closed my eyes. My world seemed to be fading. Ending. Deep down I knew that it wouldn’t end here. It couldn’t end here. I’d fought too hard to see everything collapse before me. I wouldn’t give up now. The journey ahead would be dangerous and we’d quite literally be risking the life of hundreds of people. But that day I decided that we would be the survivors. The ones who would tell the stories years from now. The ones who’d be able to say that they crossed the galaxy and found our new home among the stars. The ones who lived through the total destruction of our once beautiful planet, Zenqua.
