LIGHTSPEED
Aaron stared past his windshield into the vastness of true nothingness. Sure, he had heard people use that term before, but he knew they had no idea what the physical part of the phrase actually looked like. No, felt like is more accurate. Neither had he until that bitch, Athena, nudged his car across the 50th parallel. He understood her rookie desire to make her mark in the interplanetary racing world, but that was no excuse for placing another racer in harm’s way. Now, while he was drifting in a seemingly endless void of timelessness, she would join his fellow racers in a moment of silence for their lost comrade, then continue with her victory celebration, and no one would be the wiser.

The Unknown Planet
It was a beautiful sunny day in an unknown forest on an unknown planet in an unknown galaxy that no one has ever been to. This Unnamed and unknown planet was strange, it had two suns, one on each side of it so it never saw night and the temperature never got below one hundred, it also had one moon. That isn’t the strange thing though, this planet was the only one around it for light years. There was plenty of water, there were oceans, lakes, rivers, it looked like paradise and when it rained it was nice and warm. This strange planet had beautiful, lush forests, which spanned for miles but the other thing that made this planet special is that the trees and plants could communicate with each other telepathically. One tree could talk to any other plant life around the planet, even those underwater. There was no other life, no animals, nothing at all.

Excerpt from History of the World
Most of the history of the world happened in a single day: the awakening of man, the rebellion of Elden, the formation of kingdoms, the rise of the vast empire; generations and generations of humanity’s children who lived and died before seeing the sunset.

The Cosmic Battlefield
In the realm of speculative fiction and strategic analysis, the concept of warfare extending beyond Earth's atmosphere has long captured the imagination of both experts and enthusiasts alike. While the prospect of an actual conflict erupting in space remains a remote possibility, exploring the hypothetical scenario of World War III unfolding among the stars offers valuable insights into the potential implications for humanity and the future of space exploration.

On my way
I walked for hours. Until I couldn't feel my feet. Until I couldn't feel the blisters borne of worn-out threads that once held. I walk until my soles weep, and my soul shakes, and I shuddered to think. I walk until I convince myself I can no longer feel my heart shattering, even as the last shards of winter's light fall to the forest floor, a dizzying array of starlight pooling at my feet.
