I'm Not Hungry
I saw a vague slender frame behind my distorted door window, accompanied by an androgynous glass encased murmur. I could make out a neatly organised slab of light brown hair through the blurred window, there’s only one person I know with that hair, and he’s me. I tried to ignore the knocking but it got firmer and the murmurs became gradually seasoned with panic, I had to open the door at that point. I recognised everything about the person in front of me; the same medium-length stubble, occasionally highlighted by traces of sliver, same aforementioned slab of hair perpetually brushed aggressively to the right, same elongated nose-bridge punctuated by a downward facing circular tipped nose. I would say it was like looking into a mirror but it wasn’t – you’re used to seeing what’s in a mirror, this person’s face was more slender than I see mine, with a faint touch of tanning. Maybe it’s how I look and that everyone’s just so accustomed to these details the mind doesn’t register them anymore. This might be why we look different on photos. His pupils were almost the size of magnified olives. I’ve been told my eyes were big before. I’d never previously met a robot clone of myself and never spent any time pondering what I’d say to one if I did. Well that’s a lie, there was that one time I thought about it. Alright, it was two times. Ok, ok, it was quite a few times.

Evil Horizon (Part 4)
The forest was alive with life. The early morning sun had began its slow climb over the valley. The local area and crash site of the Pinto consisted of what was still known as pine trees. The sap from these massive trees had a very strong but pleasant scent. They had been merged with the DNA of redwood trees; which made them at the base easily 20-30 feet wide.

Silver Is a Girl's Best Friend?
Silver has long been valued as a precious metal, and it has been used in currency throughout many civilizations in the past and present. It has the highest conductivity of electricity and heat and the highest reflectivity of all metals. But alongside its obvious shiny aesthetic properties, it has also been used in diluted silver nitrate forms in disinfectants, added to bandages, catheters, and other medical instruments. In fact, in 2008 the ACTICOAT dressing with silver infused into it was developed for use on burns to eliminate infection and still be safe for patients with damaged immune systems. ACTICOAT was even found to eliminate MRSA within 30 minutes in laboratory tests!

How to Make Money Investing in the Aerospace Sector?
The Aerospace market can be divided into numerous sectors, consisting of: Military Aircrafts, Missiles, Space Aircrafts, Commercial Airlines, and General Aviation. This expansion can be attributed to several factors. In the case of Commercial Airlines, a direct correlation can be seen in the number of aircrafts for commercial use, and an upward trend economically. Tendencies to go on lavish vacations and purchase flights increase as individuals make more money. Military aircrafts and missiles are mainly purchased through government contracts, and with a Republican now in office, it is valid to assume high defense spending will continue. In addition, there are also several events that provide companies with contracts. For example, this past year, in the Paris Air Show, Boeing and Airbus were competing to get orders. In the more recent news, when North Korea was testing missiles, these stocks, along with gold, rallied.
