Reflecting on Time
The light slanted in through the window and woke the young man drowsing near the window. He opened his eyes and then jerked as if he'd remembered something awful.

Finding Kara
Loneliness is a funny thing, it has nothing to do with how many people you surround yourself with. You can be just as lonely with someone, even more so, than by being alone.

"The Cursed Princess: A Fairytale of Overcoming Evil and Finding True Love"
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a beautiful young princess named Aurora. Aurora was known throughout the kingdom for her stunning beauty, her kind and compassionate heart, and her magical powers. One day, a wicked witch cast a spell on Aurora, causing her to fall into a deep sleep. The witch hoped to keep Aurora asleep forever, so that she could never fulfill her destiny as the rightful queen of the kingdom. As the years passed, the people of the kingdom became more and more despairing. They had lost hope that their beloved princess would ever wake up, and many had given up hope altogether. But deep in the heart of the kingdom, there was still a glimmer of hope. For there was a young prince named Felix, who was determined to save Aurora from her endless slumber. Felix knew that the only way to break the witch's spell was to find a magical flower that grew deep in the enchanted forest. So he set off on a journey to find the flower, braving all sorts of dangers and obstacles along the way. Finally, after many long months of searching, Felix found the magical flower. He plucked it from the ground and rushed back to the kingdom, where he presented it to Aurora. As soon as the flower touched Aurora's lips, she awakened from her long sleep. The kingdom rejoiced at the sight of their beloved princess, and Felix and Aurora were married in a grand ceremony that was attended by all. And so, Felix and Aurora ruled the kingdom together, bringing peace and prosperity to all who lived there. They were known far and wide as the most magical and attractive couple in all the land, and their love for each other only grew stronger with each passing day. As time went on, Felix and Aurora had three children together: two sons and a daughter. They were the happiest family in the kingdom, and Aurora used her magical powers to bring joy and happiness to everyone she met. However, the witch who had cast the spell on Aurora was not content to let the princess live happily ever after. She knew that as long as Aurora was alive, she would never be able to take the throne for herself. So the witch began to plot and scheme, searching for a way to rid herself of Aurora once and for all. She consulted dark magic books, seeking out powerful spells and curses that would allow her to defeat the princess. But Aurora was not one to be underestimated. She had grown even more powerful since waking from her long sleep, and she was determined to protect her family and her kingdom from the witch's evil plans. So Aurora called upon all of her magical strength, and she stood up to the witch, using her powers to defeat her once and for all. The witch was banished from the kingdom, never to return. And so, Aurora and Felix lived happily ever after, ruling over their kingdom with love and compassion, and bringing joy and magic to all who lived there. The end. After the witch was defeated and banished from the kingdom, Aurora and Felix lived happily ever after, ruling over their kingdom with love and compassion. They were the most beloved rulers in all the land, and their subjects adored them for their kindness and generosity. As the years passed, Aurora's magical powers only grew stronger. She used her gifts to bring joy and happiness to all who lived in the kingdom, and her love for her family only deepened with each passing day. Felix, too, was a kind and just ruler, always striving to do what was best for his people. Together, he and Aurora made their kingdom a place of peace and prosperity, and they were deeply loved by all. As their children grew, they followed in their parents' footsteps, becoming kind and compassionate rulers in their own right. And the kingdom flourished under their guidance. But even in the happiest of kingdoms, there are always those who seek to cause trouble. And so it was that a new enemy emerged, seeking to overthrow Aurora and Felix and take the kingdom for themselves. This new enemy was a powerful sorceress, with dark magical powers that rivaled Aurora's own. She was determined to take the throne, and she knew that the only way to do so was to defeat the princess. Aurora and Felix knew that they had to stop the sorceress at all costs. They called upon all of their strength and magical powers, and together, they fought to protect their kingdom and their family. In the end, their love and determination proved stronger than the sorceress's dark magic, and they were able to defeat her and secure their kingdom once and for all. And so, Aurora and Felix continued to rule happily ever after, their love and magic stronger than ever before.

Late Night Gnats
Bzz… Bzz… Dooo “Hey! How are you? I’m doing good; I’m okay. Did I tell you that Mrs. Diane invited me to her New Year’s party? Yeah, I was surprised, honestly. I didn’t know she held New Year’s parties. Well, I hadn’t seen her in like… a year? So, I went. I know, very out of character for me, but I figured that I might as well. Like you said, if you always say no, then people will stop inviting you to things, and I don’t want her thinking that I hate her or something. I don’t really hate anyone; I just really like my house.

Ten of the Smallest (and Most Bizarre) Bank Robberies
When you think of a bank robbery, the typical movie scenes tend to come to mind. A group of criminal masterminds who have spent a tremendous amount of time studying bank floor plans and security carefully execute a plan to heist large sums of money with the hopes of never being caught.Additionally, given that someone caught robbing a bank faces a penalty of up to 20 years in prison, it would only make sense that anyone willing to commit such an offense would also be looking for their crime to “pay.”There have been incredibly large bank heists throughout history, such as the Dar Es Salaam bank robbery in 2007, where $282 million was taken. But below, you will read stories that are quite the opposite. From strange motives to fake weapons and loot that was gambled away, this list contains 10 of the smallest (and quite possibly the most bizarre) bank robberies.

Growth is the Journey
My first memory is of strange, bulbous eyes inspecting me. The creature floated above the sand by moving its thin appendages and introduced itself as a fish. I was so small then, little more than a mound of pebbles, really, and no one paid me any mind. I observed the desolate plain of the seafloor endlessly, receiving the rare but welcome visitor from time to time.

Grief Spiral
With a notecard and a roll of packing tape in hand, I marched my way up to the mailbox. "Cameron is dead," read my message in stark red Sharpie, which I now realize looked a bit garish. However, in the weight of the moment, I was too proud, too dedicated to my mission to retreat and revise. I was not going to stop, even for a second, until my message was fastened to the inside of the mailbox. Unmissable to the postman's eye.
