Memoir
Linus
LINUS May 3, 2023 Before I got Old, when I was really small, I remember when I first met my Mom. I was with a different family at first and had a mother that looked like me and brothers and sisters and I was really small. This other family would put me and all my brothers and sisters into a basket with little holes in it and carry us from place to place in it. On some days, we would go to a new place called San Francisco and on some days one of my brothers and sisters would leave us and go to a new place but I don’t know where because I could not go with them. When they would leave, I would miss them. Then one day I was in the place called San Francisco and this lady stopped walking and picked me up.

CHARLES April 30, 2023 Well, I can tell you with certainty that this is not a dream. It has been roughly a week since I woke up and could not open my eyes, according to my calculations. Yesterday, I woke up and I was able to open my eyes. It was slow and they were a little sticky and at first only small slivers of light came in and I blinked a little bit and now I can tell you that my suspicions are confirmed. I am a dog. A very small dog, to be exact. I do not know how this happened, but these are the facts, I am sure about that. I am surrounded at all times by other very small dogs, some of which have opened their eyes and stare at me with confusion- rightfully so- and others still have not.

On a serene, moonlit night, I strolled along a road that had a deep meaning. This road held great significance, leading to the revered abode of Allah Almighty, situated nearby. I can’t forget that I landed there at 3:45 a.m. My heart was full of hopes and dreams on such a calm night.

Six months after landing in Tokyo, having spent my life savings trying to start a new life, I finally landed a job. After living in poverty on $10 a day, I entered the world I always dreamed of. A position in the center of Japan’s economic engine, working within the headquarters of the country’s largest bank, Mitsubishi Bank. I used my I.T. skills to scour their databases for discrepancies and misbookings. I was called into meetings with the management to give reports on errors involving millions of dollars, then asked to leave when they discussed what to do about them.

In the peaceful limits of her room, underneath the delicate sparkle of evening glow separating through the shades, a young lady named Maya ended up trapped in the pains of a distinctive dream. In this fantasy, she remained on a precipice sitting above a tremendous breadth of twirling fog, the far off sound of crashing waves reverberating in her ears. As she looked out into the void, she felt a bizarre power flowing through her veins, a power not at all like anything she had at any point known.

This past February I was blessed enough to be able to work in Puerto Rico for about a month. It's moments like this in my life I am grateful for the profession I chose to pursue. Sometimes archaeology sucks, and sometimes you keep opportunities to explore outside your usual world. I stepped off the plane and was greeted by a gentle breeze and an overbearing sun. It reminded me of my time in Guam and how the world suddenly slowed down around me.

September, 2019: Commonwealth Stadium is minimalist: Grey and concrete, lined with typical concession stands, and occasional pops of green and gold. Little has changed in its forty years, with the exception of a few technological aspects. The menus at the concessions are digital, and they have little TVs that display the current game so those out of their seats miss nothing. I’m still getting used to the new jumbo-tron, but my Dad boasts about remembering games from before they installed the first one. But, of course, he also remembers the stadium being constructed. I’ll never get to reminisce about what Commonwealth was like in the eighties, but I grew up in it just like he did. I savour the smell of spilled liquor, the taste of overpriced hot dogs, and, lately, obey the siren call of “Cooold beerrr!”
Noelle SpauldingPublished 2 months ago in ChaptersChapter One Done.
I finished my first chapter of my new book. I started it last week and finished it today, so I think this is my goal. To write at least two chapters a week, and posting them here one by one, and if I feel like throwing an essay or a poem or something in there from time to time, I can. I am my own boss and I make the rules. I also don’t know what this book will be titled and don’t think it will come to me until I get further into it, so Chapter One will have to do.

In the frigid depths of a Siberian winter, the city of Angarsk lay cloaked in darkness, its streets silent under a blanket of snow. As the bars emptied out, their patrons bidding farewell to another night, a lone figure emerged from the shadows. Her name was Khristina, her steps unsteady, her breath forming frosty clouds in the bitter air. With each cautious movement, she drew closer to a fateful encounter that would change the course of her life forever.
What The Bible Actually Says About the Devil
In the annals of religious lore, there exists a figure whose name strikes fear into the hearts of believers and non-believers alike: Satan. Known by many names—Lucifer, the Devil, the Prince of Darkness—his presence looms large in the collective consciousness, a symbol of rebellion and malevolence. But what if the truth about Satan is far more nuanced than the tales spun by centuries of myth and doctrine?
