MELTDOWN
Columbia Glacier trip, blue ice, water, and sky Climate change meltdown. ******************************************* Memorial Day weekend 1977, we were exploring Alaska and went on an impromptu trip to Valdez, Alaska. Arriving at the harbor as a small cruise ship was about to leave, quickly, we purchased four tickets; and off we went on a three-hour tour of Prince William Sound and Columbia Glacier.

The Road to Nowhere
Trigger warnings: Violence, Death. "May the Sun burn your tongue out, woman," Fredrick's father screamed the curse into his mother's ear as their elegant little carriage rumbled along, its polished wood and gilded trim glinting in the torchlight. They had just left the small village of Saffron and were on an unnamed road to the capital for the Royal wedding. Fredrick leaned back in his plush velvet seat to escape into the passing landscape, but across from him sat the servant boy, a scrappy lad named Jack. Jack's eyes held a mixture of awe and fear, the kind that only a commoner could feel in the presence of nobility. Jack looked up and caught Fredrick's gaze, offering him a sad little smile before reaching into his pocket and retrieving a little caramel treat. This candy was no doubt stolen from the kitchen treat cupboard; if he was caught with it, he would be locked in the box as punishment.
