Diamonds Are Forever
One day a news review came across on the news cell phone which is about 12 inches but light to carry. When people call in their face automatically comes up. All the cars are flying, and normal roads no longer exist. All the cars are self -driving cars. You see people running everywhere and all are in search of a Diamond locket. The one that everyone is looking for is covered with diamonds and all begin to order on Amazon. Thousands are delivered. News gives breaking news that the winner Locket has the inscription Sawa. The person who receives that diamond locket with the Sawa will be air ubered to FBI headquarters. Next you see a clock with the time midnight and all types of fireworks began to explode. In the FBI office you see list of social security number and names. This is doomsday and the diamond locket that said Sawa, also had a code that had to be uttered. Only those who could utter those words exactly could be transported to a secret island for survival. Thousands crowded and shouted, La Survive Til Sawa arrives. Many began to chant these words. You see many being loaded on a big boat. Then they began tattooing each as they boarded the boat. The tattoos were just the letter L with a number to follow. The L standing for Life survival patriot. While on the boat a vault is opened, and many raw diamonds are there. FBI confirms the Sawa Diamond Locket. The survivors are told not only must they be tattooed but each have a diamond burnt into them skin. This is dooms day and to survive they had to get the tattoo and have the diamond burnt into their skin. There is a large tv screen and they watch as the rest of the humans on the earth are screaming and running, many are falling to their death. You see many breaking into jewelry stores looking for single diamonds. The news alert is that diamonds can maybe save a person from death. What happens next is shocking. News alert are sent, and families are separated. Tears are flowing and people seem confused. Only those with money and diamonds would survive. The Sawa message was posted but they also had to make 200,000 per year or more or they were not contacted to be on the survival list. Look back at the posting at the FBI and the list incudes what kind of job or education they have. Not all were allowed to come and even see the diamond at the survival camp. One man who was there said he had a recent stroke, they quickly threw him overboard he did not survive doomsday. There were so many diamonds and then you see thousands of lockets with the Sawa inside. All the survivors are set up in very modern dwelling. Everything was white as snow and next they take off in white flying cars. They survived doomsday. This is 2036 so everything is modern. At the FBI the screen looks like a video game. The numbers are all over the place and minimum salaries show up with names and photos. The rest of humanity they did not make it. There was a lot of lighten and building were just exploding. No one could explain what was really happening. Diamond is very beautiful stone and the shine can blind the eye. This diamond opened the way for the survival of the class of people who reached out and purchased a Locket. When they went on sale the ad read, order a diamond locket today, it might save your Life.

Promise.
The fate of the world was strung onto a thin metal chain and tucked away in my robes. As the only surviving heirs of our line my sister and I each had a piece to guard; a solemn vow to protect the world re-shaped by humanity. Years ago our world was nearly desolated by pollution and greed; people were killing the one thing that could supply them with everything they needed. It probably would have continued on this way had people of the old faiths not intervened. The Oracles could feel the cry of the dying planet and felt the wrath of the old Gods bludgeoning through their veins. Notwithstanding the pain of their world they summoned as much of the magicks as they could and forced the human world and the unseen world to merge as one. Pure chaos can only describe what happened after that; whether this was their original intention or not its tremendous outpouring of energy sent shockwaves through the Earth. The ground erupted towering trees that pierced through homes and rose into the sky. People fell to their deaths as the houses fell apart and debris crashed down to the earth destroying streets and squashing unsuspecting people as everyone stared on in horror and awe. Places of unimaginable wealth and thievery burned to ash and towering skyscrapers fell to dust as the earth took back what should have been hers. Concrete and glass in clever displays of alchemy reverted to sand plummeting story after story ‘till nothing was left and people either crawled out or suffocated. The devastation of populated areas sent governments into overhaul as they tried to find some sort of recompense to get the Oracles to stop, but this only angered the old Gods further.

Burn Baby Burn
Burn Baby Burn Of course history repeats itself. Apparently those genetically endowed with the ability to see and understand this are seldom in a position to do anything about it. “Some history is so egregious that under no circumstance should it ever be allowed to happen again,“ Berry thought to herself, as the blistering heat from the bonfire of burning books threatened her and the cheers from the buffoons who were gleefully feeding the flames with texts and novels rang in her ears.

Sanctuary
Once again I am tied up and bouncing around in the back of an SUV but this time I am smushed between two men. Both of their scents are familiar and there a tingling feeling whenever the one behind me touches my bare skin. I know these two men. Behind me is Greyson my best friend, lover and mate. There is only one problem with him, he thinks I am human.

Seeds of the Sun
Petra stood at the mouth of the cave looking out. She absentmindedly fingered the small, heart-shaped locket hung on its leather braid around her neck. From behind she could hear the life-giving trickle of water, a comforting sound. Outside, an occasional bleat from the goats and crowing from the rooster, who had never given up his announcement of dawn, meant chore time. A lizard skittered across the opening, already panting in the heat. She wondered what they ate.

Fallout
It was her seventeenth birthday. She looked at her phone: 4pm exactly. Her face fell. Her best friend was right; this was a practical joke. She wondered if the cruel video of her standing in a park looking like a dork would be seen by everybody at school.
