science fiction
The bridge between imagination and technological advancement, where the dreamer’s vision predicts change, and foreshadows a futuristic reality. Science fiction has the ability to become “science reality”.
The Barn Owl
No one seemed to remember the tsunami, the monstrous waves that swallowed skyscrapers like they were ants in the sand. It didn't matter who many times I brought up the subject, I would only receive glares or stares of confusion. I pleaded for someone to remember, to know what I was talking about, I couldn't be the only one. I just couldn't be, right?

Little Old Me
(Alarm rings) With my eyes still closed, I find my phone and dismiss my alarm- it goes off at 5AM every morning. Let's me know that I have at least an hour left to sleep before it's time to put on my Superwoman cape. Am I a real hero? I definitely wear the hats of one as if I have magical, superhuman powers. Growing up being wife, mom, employee, entrepreneur, student, friend, etc never crossed my mind in depth. Television made everything seem easy and the Internet made everything that much easier. I could not imagine growing up in the 2000s era. Happy I witnessed the becoming of what the times holds today. In my mind it all makes sense: I know the how, the why, the when and even how to live when this shit here fades away. Wait a minute, Mind- "we're supposed to be asleep! Save the thinking for in the morning". I begin to dream about high school and imagine how life would be if I knew then what I know now and the access to today's technology and information. That's when I realize I may be fading away sooner than I think. I roll over and close my eyes.

Barn Owl: Night Owl
The Jedi Master navigated through the darkness of space with the star map secure. Earth and the Russian named Hennadyi left behind. Whatever drama his life possessed would now have to play out free of intervention. The Jedi’s debt paid to the family that had watched over the case for more than a thousand-years with gold Roman coins.

HeadQuarters
Working at the headquarters is crazy, absolutely crazy. The HEADQUARTERS is essentially all about changing habits and creating new neural pathways and laying the groundwork for broadened perceptions in the client. If that makes sense to you or if it doesn’t, I am truly sorry, but I have just told you all I am supposed to share about what we do here at HEADQUARTERS.

Introducing Emergence
What is Emergence? Emergence is a new Facebook group dedicated to fans of science fiction, fantasy, comics, video games, tabletop games, and all things that makeup nerdom. The dictionary defines emergence as “the process of coming into view or becoming exposed after being concealed. The process of coming into being, or of becoming important or prominent.” And that is the purpose of this group.

The Sunshield's Heat
After a time I knew better than to wear my uniform on the train. Somehow the protestors and demonstrators had enough time and energy each and every morning to gather at the station and harass anyone with the Sunshield patch on their jumpsuit.

Here We Grow the Big Trees
Here we grow the big trees. Here is where I plant the seeds and bed them in alien soil. The constant rain seeps through the richness of the mineral and the roots, like raindrops, follow. At dawn they are seedlings, at noon they are sprouts, and at dusk they are towers and giant hands reaching for the stars. They say it used to take months, decades, centuries for trees to grow. But this lonely planet, so desperate for companionship, bleeds life into everything it touches.

Imprint (Pt. VI)
"Hello? Briggs? Someone get me out of here. What the hell is this Briggs!" Chelsea continued screaming and pounding on the blank walls with fury. After two hours of constant rage, General Matthews had ordered him to "Get in there and calm her the f--- down before she dies of a stroke!"
