Once a shy forest fairy, Lydia discovered her magical abilities and felt a sense of power. She started using her powers to play tricks on the animals in the forest. Simple pranks at first, but each one more harmful than the last. They began to fear her. The woods became a darker and more ominous place. It wasn't until a group of lost travelers stumbled upon her that her true nature was revealed. She didn't like humans. That's when she used her powers to push a tree onto one of the travelers. They ran from the woods never to return.

Critical Mission
Joe was an astronaut sent on a mission to monitor a black hole that suddenly appeared in the solar system. His spacecraft was equipped with the latest technology, but something went wrong. He felt a sudden jolt, and everything went black. He opened his eyes and realized he was floating in space. That's when he turned and saw another astronaut. Slowly the other astronaut turned. Joe realized he was looking at himself. His helmet was damaged, and his body was lifeless. Then, he realized he had died in the accident. He was now a ghost, forever drifting in space.

The Silence That Follows
“Silence is not the absence of something but the presence of everything . . . It is the presence of time, undisturbed. It can be felt within the chest. Silence nurtures our nature, our human nature, and lets us know who we are. Left with a more receptive mind and a more attuned ear, we become better listeners not only to nature but to each other. Silence can be carried like embers from a fire. Silence can be found, and silence can find you. Silence can be lost and also recovered. But silence cannot be imagined, although most people think so. To experience the soul-swelling wonder of silence, you must hear it.”― Gordon Hempton

The townspeople, busy with modern life, had forgotten the magic that once defined their midsummer celebration.

The Squeeze
– The Pricey Luxury Badge vs the Hovering Hulk – Most of us have a problem with car doors putting dents on the sides of our cars; we'd like to take up two spaces but then we'd get key'd out of spite if we did. Currently the 'Compact' spots are occupied by Schlong-Schlinging oversized trucks that have their Tuckus' so far out they block the drive through aisles; I'm probably the only one that's noticed.
