Nothing But Something
The sun sat high in the sky causing extreme heat felt by the towns people on their most important day of the year. Every bell in Townhall rang out, as they roamed the streets with anticipation. Neighbors from across town gathered to observe “The Legacy Hunt,” where the winning family would be awarded title of "Heir of Legacy". The title not only grants the winning family praise, adoration, and service of the people, but access, influence, and control over the town's resources as well. The most significant prize was an 20,000-dollar donation gathered from the towns people. Traditionally, all the towns' families compete in the hunt, however only two families in the entire history of the town have won the title and thus have reaped its benefits. The North family were the winners of the previous hunt taking the title away from the South family.

Mystery Of The Comet
It was a day like any other day. Charlie, a college guy, was studying hard for the mid-semester exam in geology as he wanted to become an archaeologist, traveling and discovering historical artefacts from the past. He loved solving mysteries that had been buried for thousands of years.

Whispers.
It was my turn to shelve the books again. I didn’t mind the task itself, strolling the aisles of the dusty library, but I disliked doing it while the library was open. Spending time in the stacks was a quiet refuge for so many, and I didn’t want to come galumphing in with my squeaky cart in the middle of it.

Black Book of the Firmament
The balance of eternity rested upon the hands of the Seven; Jorr the Sky-Guardian, Shol the Sun-Bringer, Azer the Moon-Keeper, Mira the Earth-Mother, Ogre the Black-Star, Wina the Soul-Giver, and Phyr the Time-Starter. Together they held in-place the very fabric of the universe, which was suspended high above the firmament of the Temple in which they dwelled. They drew their power from the first two Sages; Shol and Ogre, who were the builders of the temple at the beginning of existence. They used their power to connect the temple to the firmament, and thusly, Jorr had become born. It was not until the creation of Phyr that the rest of the universe began to materialize, including the essence of chronology and the other Sages - except for Wina the Soul-Giver.

Lundi Gras Is Your Last Chance
The brittle fingers of the palm tree beat a sharp staccato against the ancient windowpane in the stiff winter wind. A chill has descended upon New Orleans, colder than anything felt in these parts in decades. But it’s more than just the temperature, it’s more than just a breeze - a dark coldness permeates the night, sending those who know back into their homes, back to safety.

Goals
University life can be overrated and underwhelming, simultaneously. Those cinematic frat parties turn out to be another wasted Friday, and every meal in the cafe becomes the same amalgamation of some brown stuff here and red stuff there. Danny had his fill.

Why She Married Luke
Finally, her uncle had agreed to let her be the one, the one to go through the door. He had brought her up to be strong and adventurous, but he was also protective. She had lost her parents young. He had always been there for her, before and since the accident, but he was busy, more like obsessed, with his work; her Uncle Frederic, the crazy scientist. That's what her best friend, Trudy, called him. He was conducting a study on subtle changes to the environment and needed a traveler to go one month into the future to take photographs of a particular area of Bleecker Street. She finally convinced him to let that traveler be his niece.
