Leaving Dover
An officer retired from the US Air Force to head to a corporation in Wilmington, Delaware.
He found ecstasy less than an hour away. From Dover, Delaware to Wilminton, Delaware. He went from the Dover Air Force Base to a skyscraper downtown. The color of teakwood, he made his ascension from an officer in the Air Force to being chief technology officer in an AI firm.
The city beckoned him. His car switched lanes by itself and flowed so smoothly. He had time to prepare a speech. He would become content with the idea of being ready to be fourth in line to the top spot at the company.
He made it real. Everything came true.

Confessions of an Empath
The birds are chirping, and the sun is shining in a cloudless July sky. The vibrancy promises a beautiful day, but the cooing of the Mourning Dove perched on the powerlines seems to be more fitting than the lively songs of the robin flitting through the trees. The melancholic calls of the dove cloak the world in a sadness that hangs like tattered drapes.
