The Wonders of the Season Symphony Lesane never believed in Santa Claus. Yes, she knew the story. And yes she viewed all of the myriad movies which showcased the both adored and maligned fictitious fat man. Her take was simple; she knew that if she were a good girl, that she would receive presents under the tree. Trevor and Saffron Lesane had both instilled in their children the knowledge that their presents must be earned. So when their first child, Preston, discovered that some of the other children in his kindergarten class anticipated a globetrotting gift giver to slide down their chimneys, he laughed to himself. The Lesane’s viewed the entire Christmas season as a joyous time to express goodwill towards man and carry on a sense of mirth. At the dual level mall in New Castle County, The family of four left Pappy napping to go holiday shopping. They took in the wonders of the season. Ice skaters glided. Face painters drew snowflakes on faces of children a little younger than Symphony. As they approached the main department store Seline’s. Just as they crossed the area separating the stores from the others, the lights dimmed and went out in total.

The Initial Free State To contemplate the results of the Great Transition, one must first comprehend its roots. In a time where the economy and the social faction of the United States had exhausted all resources, and destruction abounded, change would have to present itself. And real change. Positive change. Rational change. So, the economics professors from New Sweden University petitioned the government to allow the first state to ratify the United States Constitution to become the initial free state in the union.

Entrepreneurial Skills Compared to the small college town of Newark, Delaware, Wilmington was a big city. At least now, as skyscrapers sprouted up like steel and glass roses in the garden of streets and buildings. In such a bustling place, Trevor Lesane found refuge in the study of human behavior. As the jails full of inmates with nonviolent drug offenses on their records were released under the statutes of the Great Transition, they returned to the city.

Prided The task of waking up Preston and getting Symphony ready for school never bothered Trevor Lesane. Preston, first of all, employed his alarm clock on his smartwatch. And Symphony always dressed herself and straightened up her room before departing. While their schools never enforced a dress code, both siblings prided themselves on their smart attire. Ever the ones for punctuality, Symphony and Preston exited their home at the precise time every morning: 6:45 AM. Lesane called up the Z Set and made certain that his children buckled up despite there being no law requiring such actions. He programmed the coordinates for Whitney Middle School and the trio embarked on the weekday expedition in education. The Z Set eased up to the entrance.

An explosion shook the ship, knocking the bloodied man to the ground. The lights wavered as he scrambled for purchase on the smooth metal floor, his hand slick with blood and sweat. Somewhere ahead of him he could hear the telltale hiss of air before the expected shaking thump of the blast doors slamming shut to protect the rest of the ship. Getting his hands and feet under him, he pushed himself up, leaning heavily on the wall. A second explosion rocked the craft, sending him stumbling into the opposing wall. He clutched the wound on his stomach, wincing hard, and slid to the floor. The lights flickered and went out, plunging him into darkness. Moments later, red emergency lights came on, bathing the corridor with a faint red light, but it was enough to tell the captain he was not alone.

Home? (Part 2)
Walking through a white corridor illuminated by fluorescent blue lights, I feel completely emotionless. My uniform has been slightly stained, giving the whole outfit a different overtone from the rest of the ship. Despite the fact that some invigilator may force me later to change to some clean wearables, right now it's like I'm my own self, standing out from the monotonous and boring crowd that inhabits this spacecraft. Throughout my short journey to base 5, I continue encountering several individuals, all ignoring my slightly audible "Hello's" yet some focusing for a split second on the somewhat striking dirt patch that decorates my shirt.
