Fishing is life
For many fishing is a relaxing hobby, while others could care less about it at all. For me fishing is life. I was first introduced to fishing at a young age (still in diapers young) by my mother and father. While for them fishing was simply a good pass time to enjoy in the summer months. I quickly fell in love with the sport, and it became my greatest passion.

Rain Barrel
Water is a precious resource on this planet, particularly freshwater. Many people need to walk miles to a pump to get it, while others are only allowed certain amounts daily or monthly. The World Economic Forum listed water scarcity as one of the largest global risks in 2019. This makes have vegetation, especially vegetation that needs water, seem a bit superfluous.

Faith in the Sunflowers
In 2016, I started working for the local Chiropractor here in the community. I have to admit, the first day I walked into the office, I didn't know what to expect. I was really nervous. The waiting area was dark and dusty some. As I walked up to the reception window and the doctor looked up and said, "You're here. Come on around to this side and make yourself at home." I remember sitting in the chair and feeling overwhelmed with the stacks of files and paperwork all over. I knew I had a lot to learn and a lot to get done. Well, I've been working there ever since. Gotten rid of all the stacks of paperwork, and the office has had quite a bit of updates since then.

My Dying Wish
I know this is not what you expect however, this is my last chance to help you and my grandchildren. My generation and my son’s generation are already doomed so I write this in hopes that you can send it to all the world rulers. I will appeal to their compassion and common sense. However, if, that does not work, I will also appeal to their love of self or as you humans term it, selfishness. I just do not like the inclusion of the word fish in that bad word.

The Friendly Fuzzy Caterpillar
My newfound temporary friendship started a few days ago in the wee hours of the morning darkness. Upon taking my dog out to relieve himself, I noticed a dark fuzzy addition to the overgrown greenery beside my feet. Naturally intrigued with the creatures of nature, I was happy to take a closer peek while waiting for my dog to finish his outside nature call.

Plastic Plague
I stood in the laboratory door, savoring the feeling of success. I had finally done it; I had achieved my certification in the fields of biochemistry and microbiology at our Dome University and was now called Dr. Aisha Holston. I was ready to begin my career as a scientist, researching the Plastic Plague and ways to end its devastating impacts on our planet Earth. Could I finally achieve my dream to help the suffering life in the Outside? As for what led me to this spot, it all begins many years ago with an early morning walk on the beach…

Small Sacrifices
I create happiness in a lot of ways, like most people. Joy and love is the whole reason we're here, right? To make the best out of this life and find create happiness even if it's to some mundane, you create your own. I create most of my happiness by gardening and tending to my Ivy's, succulents, and floral plants. In order to properly care for a plant you have to cut or trim the leaves of a plants when they start to wither and rot. I have a small pair of scissors dedicated to doing this delicate job, as to not accidentally cut off a healthy leaf.

Swimming In A World Without Sharks
I know what you're thinking. A penguin making the case for sharks… that's weird. Aren't you guys enemies? Aren't penguins the cute embodiment of fluffy aquatic goodness whilst sharks are sleek cartilaginous killing machines?

Capturing the Wild..... Bees
"Run! Run into the house! RIGHT NOW!" I shouted. With shoulders hunched, I ducked my head as low as I could and ran. Millions of tiny insects were suddenly swirling around my head as the echo of their furious buzzing struck fear into my soul. Impossible to dodge, they kept slamming into my head and body at a ferocious speed but non alighted. Stunned momentarily they just kept flying in a giant collective tornado. Keeping my head as low as I could, while still increasing the distance between this invading force and myself, I scooped the one year old and dashed inside, slamming the sliding glass door behind us. Dancing nervously around we all checked our clothing and hair for any tag-alongs. Assured that we had escaped unencumbered, we then turned our attention to the window, peering nervously to try to ascertain what on earth had invaded our back yard.
