Waking Nightmare
On some level, I know there's something weird. Maybe an odd shimmer, how everything gleams just a little too brightly. My bed is gloriously comfortable. It's wonderful to wake, stretch, and wiggle. My cocoon. Safe. Warm. Smelling of mother's washing powder. I should have a showe-

Because
This is a variance of a recurring dream titled: Because "I bought a house…" my husband said without enthusiasm. "After all these years," I answered, also unenthusiastically. We’d been talking about moving forever. "Where?" I continued, as we’d discussed moving to England, his home country, New Zealand, my home country, Australia, because a lot of family live there, and the north of Italy, because that is our favorite place…

When we met
When we met, it felt like the universe had conspired to bring us together. It was a sunny day in the bustling city, and I was lost in my thoughts as I wandered aimlessly through the crowded streets. That's when our eyes met across the busy intersection, and everything else seemed to fade away. She was standing there, a vision of beauty with her hair dancing in the gentle breeze and a smile that could light up even the darkest of nights. I found myself drawn to her like a moth to a flame, unable to resist the pull of destiny that brought us together at that moment. As we approached each other, time seemed to stand still. We exchanged shy smiles and awkward small talk, but there was an undeniable spark between us that neither of us could ignore. It was as if we had known each other for lifetimes, our souls recognizing each other in an instant. We spent hours talking that day, sharing stories and dreams under the warm glow of the setting sun. And as night fell and the stars came out to play, I knew deep in my heart that she was someone special – someone who would change my life forever. In the days that followed, our connection only grew stronger. We laughed together, cried together, and shared moments of pure joy and bliss. Every second spent with her felt like a gift from above – a blessing from the heavens themselves. And as we stood hand in hand under a sky full of twinkling stars one fateful night, I whispered those three little words that held all the love and devotion in my heart: "God bless us." And in that moment, surrounded by love and warmth, I knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, as long as we were together, we could conquer anything. Our love story was written in the stars – a tale of two souls finding their way back to each other against all odds. And as we danced under moonlit skies filled with promise and hope, I thanked fate for bringing us together – for when we met, God truly blessed us with a love so pure and true it would last for eternity.

Midnight Train . Second Place in 3:00 AM Challenge.
“Come on, Cam! Mandatory midnight training session!” Joe called. Cameron got up from the curb outside the high school and hurried over to the yellow sports car. He couldn't remember why he’d been sitting there. It was dark out. He climbed into the passenger seat. Inside it was like a minivan. His basketball teammates were seated all around wearing bright orange jerseys. There was a box of pizza being passed around and music playing, but every time Cameron tried to focus on the song it changed.

Will it last?
In the realm of the heavens, where clouds drifted like soft pillows and golden light bathed everything in a warm glow, there lived a powerful being known as God. He was the creator of all things, from the vast galaxies to the tiniest blade of grass. But despite his immense power, God was also a being of great compassion and love. One day, as he looked down upon the world he had created, God's gaze fell upon a humble couple who lived in a small village at the edge of a forest. Their names were Elara and Theron, and they were deeply in love. However, their lives were filled with suffering and hardship. The crops failed year after year, sickness ravaged their village, and war loomed on the horizon. But through it all, Elara and Theron never lost faith in God. They believed that he had a plan for them, even if they could not see it at that moment. They prayed every night for guidance and strength to endure their trials. One fateful night, as Elara lay awake with worry gnawing at her heart, she felt a presence in the room. A warm light filled the space, and before her stood God himself. His eyes were kind and gentle as he spoke to her. My children," he said softly, "I have heard your prayers and seen your struggles. Know that I am always with you, guiding you through the darkness." ELara's heart swelled with gratitude as she knelt before him in awe. Theron joined her by her side, his eyes shining with tears of joy. rom that day on, miracles began to happen in their village. The crops flourished abundantly, sickness receded like morning mist before the sun's rays, and peace settled over the land. hrough it all, Elara and Theron remained steadfast in their faith in God's plan for them. They knew that no matter what trials came their way, they would face them together with unwavering trust in their Creator. And so it was that Elara and Theron's love endured through hardship and suffering because they knew that God walked beside them every step of the way - guiding them towards a future filled with hope and blessings beyond measure.
