Stars
The boy would gaze at the stars outside his window every night before bed. He lived in a small wooden house near the fields of a quiet village. After a day's work in the fields, he would lean against the window, watching the stars in the sky above the fields, which shone exceptionally bright and beautiful. Every day, he would fix his gaze on the brightest star and watch it for a long time until he fell asleep.

The Valley
Shifting between tall grass, a cool ominous breeze runs through the “hollow”, deep in the blue wood forest of “Lay Loo Yuh”. A land rich in vegetation, the trees almost mammoth in size as well in strength but weightless. The breeze sings of dark prognostication coming to light… These “hollows” provide the villagers with fruit, medison, and material. Unfortunately where there is good bad always follows. The breeze creeps and the wind carries a deep subtle roar over the village and after some time the deafening silence sets the tone of adrenaline and fear that encompasses the people of Lay Loo Yuh. Their hearts beating out of their chest while preparations are being made since one can assume that their warrior has fallen to the shadow… and is nowhere to be found…

Make Me Human. Top Story - September 2023.
We had not even a scrap of shared language, being from different galaxies and all, but after a lifetime of miscommunications I more or less knew what to do. It took a while, but we eventually established a sort of rudimentary sign language. I realized pretty quick that my two community college classes in ASL were not going to be much use here.

A Letter from the Heart
Emilia had always been enthralled by antiques, especially the appeal of handwritten letters. She loved the way history oozed out of torn books and paintings, as well as the mysteries concealed in their deft brushstrokes. She found a collection of yellowed envelopes bound with silk ribbon in her attic, among dusty boxes and abandoned artifacts. They were letters written by a former mate.

To Feel
Screaming punctured the musty, smoke-filled air, and all Lucas could think about was if he'd ever hated someone before. What was hate, really? Did it drill little holes inside you until your empathy drizzled out and left you a bitterly parched wasteland? Maybe it clobbered you suddenly like the subway muggers or adjusted notches of dislike so incrementally that you wouldn't recognize the changes until you withdrew your weapon one day and committed the crime that would later make an honorable mention on the nightly news.
