One Night (With You)
An Off Grid Production
> I take the knife from the kitchen drawer.
I shine up the waiting blade.
This is why I am here.
This is what comforts me.
> Muffled cries from the next room.
A plead for mercy.
This is what comforts me.
This is what pleases me.
> I stand in her doorway, bigger than I am.
She is smaller than the corner she is in.
This is what pleases me.
This is why I am here.
> Her abdomen gives way.
Her blood cleanses me.
This is what comforts me.
This is what pleases me.

The Long Argument
Robin woke up to a foggy Thursday morning outside her second story bedroom window, disturbed. She did not know exactly why but she knew she wanted to talk about it. She ran through her list of her friends. Her husband Don had dressed, said goodbye on his way out, left her in and out sleep. An hour passed.

"Unusual Behavior: Oumuamua Heading Our Way"
Nobody expected an alien visitor in 2017, until 'Oumuamua showed up. Its odd shape and strange behavior left scientists baffled, sparking wild theories, including those of alien origins. Discovered by Hawaiian astronomers, its name, meaning "messenger from afar," adds to its enigmatic charm. But now, NASA scientists have issued a final, shocking warning: 'Oumuamua is not what we thought, and it's heading back to Earth right now. Join us as we race against time to uncover its true nature before it approaches our planet again! Oumuamua is really important because it's the first thing ever to come into our solar system from somewhere else far away in space. This is a huge deal and very interesting because it's unlike anything we've ever encountered. Imagine someone or something new showing up in your neighborhood; that's how scientists feel about Oumuamua. When it was first noticed in the year 2017, it caught everyone by surprise. Since then, people, especially scientists, have been really curious, trying hard to understand what this object is and where it originated from. It's not like the normal space rocks or ice balls, known as asteroids and comets, that we usually find zooming around our sun. That's what makes it so special and a bit of a puzzle for everyone. When we speak about Oumuamua, we're discussing a very intriguing topic in the world of astronomy. This visitor from beyond has wandered into our solar neighborhood, and it was something no one predicted or expected. You can think of it as an unexpected guest at a gathering, where everyone is interested in learning more about the newcomer. What makes it stand out is its strangeness and how it differs from everything we're used to in our cosmic environment. This has sparked a lot of enthusiasm and curiosity among the scientific community.
