Reaper and the Owls
Reaper and the Owls Jumping from shadow to shadow, a lone dark figure makes its way across the field to a nearby barn. Inside the structure darkness pervades, allowing the Grim Reaper a place of refuge. Two thousand years of skulking in the shadows, taking souls and ending lives has become a burden he can no longer carry. The barn is filled with equipment. Tractors, saws, and axes. Implements of a B grade horror film waiting to be filmed. The Reaper stares at the farm implements and ponders to the darkness.

Moonlight in Park
Since before life first dared to crawl from its cave in the middle of the night, the Moon has shone in the sky. As cats cry on fences, wolves howl, and lunatics exercise their right to be crazy, people have blamed strange behavior on the light of the Moon. Most horror movies encourage this superstition as they cast the Moon as an actor in its production. Scientists will explain that the Moon is not magical. It doesn’t even create its own light. It is not a star, but a reflection of the sun’s brilliance. But could it be more? Could the Moon change the wavelength of the daystar’s energy? Could Moonlight be a catalyst of violence?

Rebirth
Chapter One Using a telescope, during the right time of year, human beings can see the outline of the planet Saturn. It’s gleaming rings seem to sparkle in the suns light. No one could have guessed that when Saturn was first discovered that it’s rings would actually be made up of trillions of ice and rock crystals. Some of these objects were no bigger than a basketball, while some were more massive than a school bus. But through the evolution of science, human beings learned of the particles in the rings and that knowledge advanced their theories on gravity and orbital debris. Little did they know that there were much more objects in the rings than rocks and ice. Right now a constitutional class star cruiser was using Saturn’s rings to mask their signature from earth’s mightiest telescopes. In fact, humans would be shocked to know just how many ships wandered this region of the galaxy without their knowledge.

A million years later, one species sought more from their actuality. We, as the dominate form of life, began to progress into new realms of reality.
