The Last Message
When she was a small lass, she used to dream about the stars. How they glowed for the dark and were chased away by the sun of the day. How she wondered what could be seen from space. How small was the world around her that they would look comparable to beetles from way up there.

The Last Broadcast
August 6, 2042 In the waning glow of the evening sun, the radio tower on the outskirts of the abandoned town crackled with an unexpected burst of static. It had been dormant for twenty years, its purpose seemingly forgotten in the rush of technological progress and the digital age's relentless march. Yet, on this particular evening, something extraordinary was unfolding.

Battle at the frosty grove. Content Warning.
Peregrin’s feet crunched against the first snow of the season. The snow was dispersed unevenly across the brown meadow, gathered in clear, icy bunches at the bases of blue grass bushes. Icy snow also gathered at the base of the conifer woods they were heading towards, hiding in the shadows from the too-warm sun. Winter lasted at least half of the year this far north, although the endless plains of snow made it feel like a land of perpetual winter.

The hologram on Scarlett’s table buzzed for over five minutes. Her mind was still in a haze from the previous night; a couple rounds of Violent Moruqs turned into an unplanned celebration.

LIFE ON MARS
In life, it's not just a person, place, or thing; it's an occurrence where a bunch of events, all happening in a sequence, cause and effect, lead to results. Life, whether we want to admit it or not, is elusive. No matter how hard we try to pin it down, it escapes us in so many ways. Yet, as human beings, we still try to study it, hoping that if we capture different aspects of it, we will finally understand what life is and, by doing so, what life really means. This has been humanity's pursuit for as long as we have been conscious of ourselves as truly sentient beings.

Blue Pill
“You’re kicking me out?” Freya’s breath fogged at her mouth as she stood in the cold in front of her landlord’s top apartment which he occupied. The short snarling man looked up at her through his grey glazed eyes, reflecting the neon blue fluorescent light above, a sign that he had been a bottle and a half through his wine.
