Into the Nothing
It was dark. I couldn’t see a single thing in front of me. I didn’t want to. The rain was pounding on the roof and against the windows so hard, it was shaking the house. The thunder made car alarms go off in the distance.

Infinite Present - Part 2
Palacio Altair found him wandering through the fog, dressed in only his night shirt. It was early in the morning and it was unclear how long he had been outside.

The Padded Cell Of Apologetics
A friend of mine recently brought up his increasing frustration with how easily the religious swallow ridiculous doctrine and unhesitatingly apply it to everyday life. He cannot stand how easy it is to live with a mind so warped that even the word 'the' might mean that the End of Days will happen by noon after lunch time.

Never Let Go
As Zefaer wakes up in his cold little home in the woods, knowing it had rained the night before as it was damp, he hears all the animals coming out at the morning light. Taking the light peeking through his window as his cue to get ready for hunting today, he sits up in his creaky bed.

'First Man' Explores the Phenomenon of the New Frontier
“We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy but because they are hard.” When John F. Kennedy delivered those memorable words to a large crowd at Rice Stadium in Houston, Texas in 1962, most thought it would never happen. At that point, NASA’s space program was still in its beginnings. The groundwork had been set for expansion but the majority of leaders and civilians had their doubts on where the government-funded program was headed.

We Have All Time Traveled
You know that feeling of déjà vu? When something feels so familiar, you must have experienced it before? We have all felt it at some time or another. Sometimes it is a little thing like a place you have never been to seeming familiar. Other times it is a big thing where you hear someone speaking and you know what they will say and how you will answer because it is like watching a scene from a movie for a second time. We have all felt it and passed it off as just an odd occurrence. But what if it is something more happening? What if that sense of déjà vu is actually a sign of how the whole space time continuum works?

The Lycan Diaries
When I was little, the other pups would always push the boundaries my father and mother had set for us. We were always warned about outsiders and the dangers they posed. Roland, the Ulfric of the pack, looked to his daughter. “Zooma, you have disobeyed my orders. You shall be punished.” I always was linked to the other pups, even if I was not anywhere near them, and all because I was the princess.
