Cozy, dim living room, toys scattered all around. Tip tapping feet and giggles abound.
Random hugs and plastic cuisine dishes. whispering the sweetest ‘wuv ew’, with slobbery kisses.
Their little lives, so sweet and fragile, are mine to hold. They say don’t look away, don’t blink, time can’t be controlled.
I find comfort in the chaos of their imaginations. I know one day I won’t hear of pretend dragons and love’s declarations.
They are my peace, they are my comfort. They are my rainy days inside snuggled up, building blanket forts.
There will come a day when forever gone are children shows that go on for hours. We’ll just have precious memories that we get to harbor and are only ours.
I find peace in knowing that I am their safe haven, being a mother is all I’ve ever wanted. Their little lives bring so much joy, and I’m humbled my dreams were granted.

Tainted
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. It must be why the invaders, or the High Lords as they like to call themselves, released so many of our people into that wretched void. They like to pretend that they’re merciful and ‘humane’. To them, mercy is releasing the harvested ‘tainted ones’ into the black nothingness of space and then experimenting on our corpses, while they make us watch.

Want to Be a Wealthy Writer? Know How Language Works
If you aspire to be a wealthy writer, you have to know how and why language works. It’s pointless to argue that one use of a word or phrase is absolutely correct and all other forms are dead wrong. There is often not a perfect rule for writing, or even punctuating, since several things impact any language, some without much forewarning. Bang! OMG suddenly appears as a WORD in the freaking Oxford Dictionary!
