Sci Fi
Witch and Spider
Whips of lightning cracked the dreary night’s fragile shell. The sea was a harridan, driving away what little warmth was left in the wind. The beastly sky rumbled. The earth trembled. The explosive boom of a starship taking off ripped a hole into the distant horizon.

The astronaut felt a connection with the creature that transcended words or thoughts. For a brief moment, they both existed in perfect harmony. And then the creature was gone, leaving the astronaut with a sense of wonder and a question that would haunt him forever: was it a figment of his imagination, or something beyond his understanding?

The Chosen One
As the sun set on the small town, an old man sat on his porch, lost in thought. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the sky, growing larger and larger until it crashed into the nearby woods. He decided to look into it because he was that curious. As he drew closer to the site, he saw a strange object that had clearly come from another world. A voice inside his head told him that he was chosen to help save Earth from impending destruction. He knew then that he must act quickly to rally others to this cause before it is too late.

This one is a single, equipped with a tattered teddy and spaceship-patterned sheets.
