Un Tempo Senza Fine Part 2
Chapter 3: “You’re getting a lot better at this.” I looked out the door and saw luscious green everywhere, and a white horse tied up to a hitching post. I took my first step outside and breathed deep, filling my lungs with the clean air.

Before time there was language, the seeds of knowledge, and a desire to understand. These things are as inherent in us now as they were before we were born. As we are compelled to express ourselves we come to life, our search for meaning defining who we are and dictating our beliefs, which in turn navigate the stories we tell. When we first looked up at the stars with that fine new sense of wonder we felt inspired to recognize ourselves in them, and we still do, we still feel the legacy of our ancestors in this time honored tradition.
Could Astrology be based in reality?
As the subtitle says I do not believe personally in horoscopes or astrology, but I implore you to not disregard my article. In the idea of horoscopes, I do not believe in a mythical force or connection between my personality, my actions and the star’s alignment. However, our mind are incredible machines. Simply believing you will get better has been proven to benefit health when your body is suffering from illness. I think this kind of reinforcement could be in play with horoscopes and zodiac signs.

"Mademoiselle," the heroine said, exasperated. "Please pardon me if I'm confused, but what is the point of owning a stationery store if you refuse to sell anything?"

There was a solace in knowing that Annie could expect this work for the next hundred years, even if the work was apocalyptic at its most generous description. She worked carefully in her little black book, writing the names of those that made pacts with the Dark Lords, taking the information of the dark Minions that convinced them to give up all of their goodness, their altruism, and their compassion for a miracle.

Astrology is right up there with tarot cards and psychics- either you believe in it or you don’t. With all the beautifully insane things that happen in our world, I find it difficult to believe that life is simply black and white, right and wrong are always definitive, and magic is only for fairytales. Hi, I’m a Cancer and I’m crabby and proud.

My classmates are on the ceiling again. I don’t know how they get their desks all the way up there. The teacher asks someone to read the next page in the textbook, one of them raises their hand, and when I look around, they’re gone. They read the page so effortlessly from the ceiling, even with all of that blood rushing to their head. I don’t get it. Do they even know they’re up there? I received quite a boost in my allowance recently, ever since mom published that one article in that one journal last year. I tried to “spend it wisely” as they say. Twenty thousand dollars for one year, just to come to this school. A school where my classmates sit on the ceiling. Maybe coming here was the wrong choice.
Escape
To sit bare, bare to the world, bare to you, and bare to the eyes gazing in. To know what they think, would be a foresight unseen to all, bar one.

One moment there was nothing, and the next – there it was. A small, black notebook sat neatly in the centre of the previously unoccupied desk. Mark paused as he glanced down, his eyes widening.
Alfred the King of Earth
Originally, Alfred never planned on ruling the world. His to-do list was rather short sighted on that front. Day-to-day things like household chores, finishing high school assignments on time, working up the nerve to ask his childhood friend Elsie Freyheart out on a date. Much more feasible aspirations.

It was a cold winter day and all was as still in the Fint City. Yet, the world around Your Majesty was chaos. Your Majesty could not make the people of her kingdom calm down for a minute. It was all over the news to bring down Your Majesty and off with her head. Your Majesty, Your Majesty Chevron, the servant of the house stated, "the people are banging on the door." Just then Your Majesty heard yelling at the door, "Come out! Come out we know that you are in there! Your Majesty's mind raced wild with thoughts about what to do about the frantic knocks at the door. Finally, Your Majesty decided to answer the frantic knock at the door. Your Majesty called for Chevron the servant to answer the door. Chevron went to the door and opened it to a major overload of news reporters seeking comment. Your Majesty! The news reporters screamed, "What is your comment on the recent riots of the people in your land over not having money to support their families? Your Majesty looked flabbergasted at all the news reporters gathered with microphones at her door like guns. Your Majesty ascended slowly to the door in defeat to address the menacing questions. With a huge sigh that came from Your Majesty, she replied, "I know times are hard, but we have been through a lot together, and we will work through this unforeseen problem to provide for all of us. My staff and I have been putting together a stimulus package that will see that your families are well taken care of through these trying times. That is all I have for right now everyone please stay vigilant to help solve the problems we face and be safe. Good day and GOD be praised." After stating those comments, the news reporters looked pleased and relieved from the ambush of the house of Your Majesty to dismantle away from her house. Your Majesty with tears beginning to form in her eyes went retiring to her bedroom quarters for another trying and defeated day.
