Salience
Chapter 2: Family After Three years have passed since the incident, Acher woke from his dreams and found himself in the hallway alone. He crouched low, quickly tiptoeing past his sister's door. He shuffled his feet in place as her doorknob turned slowly. The grin on his face grew wider and his eyes had a devilish look of glee. When she stepped into the hallway he yelled at her, “Lighting rod transference attack!” He grabbed her arm with a cheetah-like speed sending an electric shock into her body. A loud pop echoes off the wall with a quick yell in harmony. Astrid stares blankly at her big brother.

The Boy Who Dared to Hope
Toby shifted uneasily in his cramped bunk aboard the spaceship, the vessel's continuous humming forming a somber backdrop to his thoughts. Gone were the familiar sounds of trilling sparrows and the warm sunlight of Earth, replaced by the glow of screens and the sterile circulation of recycled air.

World in Tatters Ch. 34
We ride through the night and morning. We’re exhausted. The soldiers are exhausted. I’m sure Richard’s exhausted too, not that he’d show it. I ride toward the front of the caravan near Richard and Kiera. Unlike everyone else, Richard sits straight up on his horse, jaw set, intense eyes locked on the horizon.

Beyond Life: A Doctor's Journey to the Edge of Hell and Back
What happens after we die? It's a question no one can truly answer. Some believe in reincarnation, others in heaven and hell, and some believe nothing at all. Recently, I read an article about Dr. Rajie Parti, a materialistic doctor who had his own out-of-body experience during surgery. He saw his life and was eventually drawn to the edge of hell, where he heard a voice urging him to change his ways. Convinced of his experience, Dr. Parti quit his job and now helps people through alternative methods. Near-death experiences (NDEs) like Dr. Parti's are more common than you think, reported by about 200,000 Americans a year.

The Fishboy
Day 1 January 3rd, 2067 I can't believe it this is really happening. I've finally got what I desired the most! I turned myself human! My gosh! Oh, I um. I'm probably getting way ahead of myself here. The nurse gave me this journal a few minutes or so ago. He also said that I should probably write my name and all that so if it gets lost, I can get it back. Or something like that. Now, my name is Olwen. I'm possibly around the human age of nineteen years old, my kind don't exactly celebrate birthdays. And I used to be a merman. How I became human is a bit, well it's a tiny bit complicated on how it had happened. Or why I did it as well.
