I was born on January 21, 2057. I was told that the doctor almost dropped me at first glance. It wasn't because I didn’t cry as most babies do at birth. It was because I look albino, with light skin and white hair, except my eyes are pale blue. I never met my dad.

In the Dark. Top Story - October 2021.
This perfect storm of frightening events led to the most harrowing experience of my life. My name is Dominic. Since I’m a poor 19-year-old, I don’t have a car.

Les is More
So many people in our lives become acquaintances. We may smile and wave at each other. We may exchange pleasantries. It’s nice to have such people around. It’s even more special when we can truly call someone a friend. Les (Lesley Anne Weatherdale) is someone easy to befriend. Not only does her smile make me want to smile back, but she is also intelligent, kind, and generous. I am so honored that I can call Les a friend.
