The Dream Between Us
Lydia left before dawn. If dawn was even the right word for this place. The sky beyond the cottage did not brighten the way it did in town. Instead, the darkness slowly softened from black to indigo, and the enormous moon faded into a pale silver disc that remained suspended over the horizon, watching.

The Dream Between Us
Lydia did not sleep. Not that night. Not really. The hours moved strangely, slipping past in fragments she could not quite hold onto.

The Dream Between Us
Lydia first saw him on a Tuesday that felt like a Thursday. The air had that strange golden softness to it, as though the whole town had been dipped in honey and left to gleam beneath the afternoon sun. Children ran laughing through the square, their voices rising and falling like birdsong. A woman at the fruit stand stacked pears into a pyramid with careful hands. Somewhere nearby, music drifted lazily from an open window… something light and old-fashioned played on a piano that Lydia could not see.

The Emperor's Gambit
The Emperor’s Gambit A short story loosely based on the Star Wars universe By: Stanley Komarniski It had been 20 years since Luke defeated the Emperor and saved his father from the Dark Side. The Jedi school he had started was far away from Coruscant, in the outer rim. It was the general idea that if he kept the Jedi away from the Politics in Coruscant that he could avoid the mistakes that the Jedi made in the past. At the same time, it kept the trainees from being manipulated from some of the corruption in the government.
