Do Aliens Celebrate Christmas?
I almost did not return to Earth this year. What would be the point? Between the wars, the world leaders, and the mobs who put them in power, I already know that the humans of Earth are not worth saving. I have observed them, year after year, as did my father before me and his father before him. Humans doomed themselves a long time ago.

Title: "The Bridge of Tomorrow"
**The year was 2050**, and Earth hummed with a rhythm that no longer seemed entirely human. Cities were alive, their bio-cellular forms growing, healing, and reshaping like forests bending to the wind. Oceans once thought poisoned were now the lifeblood of the planet, their vast farms producing everything from algae that powered civilizations to fish designed to endure the harshest conditions. Above, the skies were no longer a battleground of drones and satellites but a flowing river of data, connecting the floating megacities that hovered in orbit like luminous beads on a thread.

Transmutation
I could never understand transmutation before the accident happened. And believe you me, I tried. I tried to comprehend it like many of you do. The endless quest for immortality so many find themselves on. You know, how nothing really dies. How it only changes form.

Despite the highly disturbing school shooting incident earlier this morning, it was surprisingly baffling that the school didn’t suspend classes or close the campus. All academic activities continued as usual, which was completely incomprehensible. On the other hand, Canglan Private High School, the site of the shooting, was quickly locked down, and the students were promptly relocated to safety. Compared to our school, which seemed as though nothing had happened, it was like night and day.

Fifteen minutes—it's not too long, not too short. In those fifteen minutes, I witnessed a scene that could have been straight out of a futuristic sci-fi blockbuster. I reckon I won't have much interest in Hollywood for the rest of the year. Meanwhile, the three unlucky criminals underwent a transformation, going from fierce thugs to absolute idiots. Just thinking about the moment when Bell forcefully jammed that long metal probe into one of their brains makes me feel a bit nauseous...

As everything froze, everyone remained eerily still, except for the three armed thugs. This was because when time freezes, it locks all the targets' states, meaning no external force can harm a frozen target. Bell had frozen time to protect the innocent bystanders from being harmed, but there was no need to protect the three armed thugs.

Bell had successfully moved into my home. Despite the many unanswered questions about her mysterious identity, my sister welcomed her without hesitation. To her, Bell was just a vulnerable young girl in need of care, and she treated her like family. The irony of it all—that this "poor girl" was actually an alien who nearly conquered the world—never crossed her mind.

owd where the rich kid stood. It seemed no one else noticed the light. All eyes were focused on the central confrontation, completely ignoring the nearly invisible "pillar." Normally, I wouldn’t have noticed something so subtle either, but for some reason, I could clearly see the trail left by the “flowing light.”

In the end, I skipped class. It couldn’t be helped. Having a loli-like mysterious creature with me in class would attract way too much attention. And it’s highly likely that our already menopausal homeroom teacher would take this opportunity to lecture me for half an hour. She’d probably start from sociology and work her way up to human morality. But leaving this potential danger aside... based on most movies and novels, the only outcome would be a whole bunch of trouble, and by the time I got home from school, I’d probably be surrounded by men in black suits and sunglasses, followed by a guy with a white smile pulling out an automatic pencil and yelling "Cheese!" at me.

341 — Terraforming Mars: Part 11
In Dr. Renée Niemann’s present, Mars “as is” was a quasi-water world with chilly, but not unpleasant 50º-72º F temperatures along its peri-equatorial bands of latitude. A very respectably sized moon graced the view above its 84% Oxygen/15% Nitrogen skies. Moon Ancile, during Phases I and II, wobbled the new center of gravity between it and its planet enough to ratchet Mars’ orbit in closer to the sun, adding more warmth, as well as rounding its orbit to make it less elliptical. The Martian year was still just shy twice that of Earth’s, but the perihelion-aphelion variation narrowed to almost negligible.

Thanks to yesterday's torrent of information, I woke up with a splitting headache, my mind filled with those surreal “command sets,” making it so hard to walk that I felt like I might crash into a wall. The symptoms were identical to a hangover, to the point that when I got up in the morning, my sister even thought I’d spent the night downing some pure alcohol.

Huh? What did you say? Are you messing with me, Goddess? No matter how you look at it, the plot development is just too ridiculous, right?
