Will It Be Worth It
A Glimpse to the Future
The reflection looked enough like him for the boy to believe his wish came true. The sunken blue eyes that peered into the pool of water met a clean- cut man with the same blue eyes, except his were piercing and strong, not scared and hiding behind messy black bangs.
"You wanted to ask a question?" His reflection stated more than asked. "Ask" He heard his father's angry voice from inside the house. Even the reflection seemed to wince.
"Will it be worth it?" He asked, afraid. The reflection simply nodded before slowly fading.

The Final Piece
A distinct thump on the front porch grabbed his attention. He closed his book and walked quietly to the front door, peaking through the window. He saw the drone fly off in the distance, slowly becoming nothing more than a tiny speck on the horizon before disappearing completely. "Strange'" the man wispered, creaking the large wooden door open. An unassuming carboard box sat on the porch. It was no bigger than the book he had just been reading. There was no label or writing anywhere on it, intriguing the man further. He carefully picked up the box and carried it to his desk. It was light, as if nothing but air was inside of it. He cut the tape and pulled back the flaps to reveal a key suspended by wires connected to each corner of the box. He unraveled the wires and turned the key over gingerly with his fingertips, studying it intensely. His eyes flitted over to a chest his father had left him with a mysterius note many months ago. He hadn't been able to get into the chest due to the mysterious lock on the front of it but perhaps now he held the anwer to that mystery in his hands.

Largest UFO Sighting in History
The UFO category might be viewed as the ultimate mystery of the unearthly world, and indeed there is no case shining brighter than the one which took place exactly 20 years ago, on March 13, 1997. This striking and lasting event, witnessed by scores of people through Arizona, comprises a part of one of the most astounding UFO sightings in the history. However, the multiplicity of first-hand reportage and official release does not help unmask the real truth that is covered by the mystery and debatable issues.

The Longest Language Journey Back
When you have a godawful experience for years (perhaps French lessons) and need to write about it as part of the healing process and already you feel parts of your cognitive machinery trying to “clean it up” (guess it’s French lessons) for public viewing by default since it’s likely to make some toes curl up (sorry, but definitively French lessons.)
