Short Story
All The Riches Of The World And There is None Like You.
Saya feels the warmth of a steady breeze vibrating through the cave walls as if the cave itself were alive with lungs of its own. Curiosity and excitement fills her heart as her imagination ignites in wonder. She presses her cheek against the smooth edges of the stone with a soft full smile and her eyes closed tight and she hears it; A faint heartbeat echoing within the stone. She holds out her little arms and embraces the wall with a childish love wanting to know who is alone in the dark and maybe they could use a friend.
"You Left"
Traffic rushed by outside; a cacophony of horns and engines idling as anxious drivers fought their way through the late afternoon gridlock. Inside, ears were treated to the barista's lyrical voice shouting out names, then orders, then names over and over again.

Neala stood before the full-sized mirror looking at her outfit one more time. She wore a spaghetti-strapped, knee-length cotton dress with a floral pattern that flattered her chest and waistline. She paired it with a long, light, burgundy-coloured cardigan. The ensemble was complete with a comfortable but stylish set of black pumps. Business casual.

It was a crisp Autumn afternoon as I drove past the airport building and around to the side road where the private aircraft were kept. Biggin Hill Airport is a former RAF base just outside of London and you could still see some of the wartime barracks and the airmen’s chapel beside the more modern air terminal. I wasn’t interested in any of that. I was there for a flying lesson. My first ever flying lesson. An 18th birthday present from Mum and Dad.

william’s POV I awoke in a bright room, I tried to get up but quickly realized that I was tied down. I blink guickly against the bright light above my eyes and tried to focus, but I couldn’t make out much besides a table and a couple chairs. “Oh, good you’re awake.” I hear my father say, I couldn’t tell where the sound was coming from but it was definitely my father. “What do you want now?” I asked, anger in my voice. “Don’t you know by now my son, I want you to do any and every little thing I ask of you.” He replied, I blinkedand growled trying to figh the urge to break free. “I’ve done everything you’ve ever asked of me.” I snapped back, all i heard in return was laughter.
The Method Mission
One day, three friends named Jericho, Hunter, and Lita were at their favorite hangout, the Palace of Sweet, and were discussing their science project, which was to give a synopsis of the scientific method. “What are we gonna do?” Hunter said. “We must present a diagram and outline of the scientific method by Thursday, and today is Tuesday, and we haven’t made any progress.” “Chill, dude,” said Lita. “We still have a day and a half to figure something out. Yeah, but when it comes to the scientific method, we all are wearing dunce caps. Oh! I just wish there was an easier way to learn more about it since the science books give little information,” said Jericho.

The water whirlpooling down the drain was my gaze’s focal point at the moment. I needed this: a steaming shower to work off the early night’s stress. Closing my eyes and exhaling, I hear a small thud coming from beyond the bathroom door. I turn my head in small acknowledgement then shrug. My doors locked and I’m just a little paranoid cause I’m home alone. I know myself and I know very well I can’t let intrusive thoughts cloud my judgment. It must have been the heater finally kicking in.

I don't care that the neighbors think I'm crazy. I don't care that my family doesn't visit me anymore. And I don't care that I haven't left my house in 15 years. With all the risks out there I'm not willing to put my life in jeopardy again. I'm not afraid of what happened. No, not at all. Just fed up. Besides, It's not safe for a 76-year-old woman to be walking around all by herself. I might sprain my ankle. Or be mugged. And with all the Uber Eats and Amazon services I don't have to leave.

A woman lay motionless on the floor as the forest lay still around her. The birds above chirped loudly, finding her all too intriguing. She scanned her eyes curiously around her surroundings and found herself on wet grassy terrain. The blades pricked her knees as she gasped trying to cover her skin as she realized she was naked.
