Wires of the Past
Rojas ran her fingers over the cold metal of the engine’s core. The hum of The Last Starship vibrated through her bones, the sound a reminder of both the ship’s resilience and its impending decay.

The Backyard
Outside in the backyard there were always wildflowers growing everywhere. You could even have seen rabbits, squirrels and birds of all kinds. But, one day that started out being a beautiful, sunny day turned out to be a day that nobody ever expected to happen. The sky turned an awful dark gray almost black, but they thought a tornado was approaching but none of them heard the tell-tale sign of a roaring train.
