At the edge of the cosmos, she found it - a planet pulsating with echoes of a forgotten time. Her ship landed, dust swirling in alien air. A structure, ancient yet advanced, hummed with cryptic energy. She touched the alien monolith; it responded. Suddenly, her mind filled with visions of civilizations rising, flourishing, falling - an eternal cycle. The echoes of eternity whispered, "You are not alone." She left, carrying the weight of cosmic solitude, yet paradoxically, the comfort of universal companionship.

The Violinist's Requiem
In the heart of a war-torn city, a lone violinist played. Haunting melodies echoed off the rubble, a defiant serenade to the moon. Each note was a plea, a prayer, a promise. Silence fell, broken only by the resonating strings. And in that moment, the world paused, acknowledging the power of undying spirit.

Timothy
My fingers inch closer to the keyboard, itching to obliterate a day's worth of work. It's some of my best writing I've done to date, but at what cost? The words seem to bleed, dripping onto my desk. For a millisecond, I'm sitting in front of a crime scene, looking at dead, begging eyes. Why? Why me?

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.
