I Saved Zemulon
Lasers blasted. The sound of explosives detonating deafened the ears. War machines kept rolling. The purple and hot pink landscape permitted navy blue tanks and gray cruiser vehicles to run over the land. From the perspective of Captain Koshi Ashe, he knew he had to fight the Garrotites and save Zemulon. Ashe was about five feet nine inches tall. Dark features that looked like cherrywood enveloped his skin. His high cheekbones looked like they were sculpted onto his body. He stayed in the fight.

Novella
LATE SUMMER 2008 In his carry-on luggage, Quincy Pollard held a piece of literary light. He was dark skinned with bright white teeth. He wore a gray blazer with a white dress shirt and no tie. He flew in the business section of the plane. With the aircraft in flight, Pollard still had a glowing sense in his mind. As he passed by other passengers reading Stephenie Meyers’ Twilight or David Sedaris’ When You're Engulfed in Flames, his mind glowed with realization that he held something worth more than all of those books combined. In the days of Blackberry phones and flip phones; before iPhones, Nook, and the Kindle became popular, there was still the physical book.

Concorde Full of Concords
Boxes stacked on top of each other in the seats where no passengers sat. Just more boxes. Each showed the Jumpman logo. Inside the boxes were Concord 11 Jordan Brand sneakers. The supersonic flight from Paris, France headed to Wilmington, Delaware. They brought back the Concorde.

An Atlas has Fallen: A Tribute to Bob Lee
I’ve been using Cash App for years and just found out the outcome of the creator of the application through grim news. An assailant stabbed the entrepreneur and investor Bob Lee to death in San Francisco, California. The details are scarce, but some people point to the growing problems of homelessness and crime in the city to be possible factors.

The Power Behind this Bird
Wrapped by the winds of time, the artificial intelligence powered personal jet soared over America. In the grandeur of the best technology that one hundred countries combined had to offer in making it, the vessel sailed through the clouds.

Marine Corps Stories: Tracer Round
Flashes of light punctured the air in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Marine Chief Warrant Officer 4 Mesina Griffitth looked at her smartwatch. A helicopter took off nearby and two others took to the air as well. Griffith’s lifted into the sky finally. As co-pilot of this aircraft, she and Chief Warrant Officer 3 Mennett Koly made the ascent.

On Broken Wings
Salute to Misty Rae for her phenomenal, sincere (https://shopping-feedback.today/journal/vocal-gave-me-my-wings) post about Vocal.Media that I pen this missive. I want to go on record and ask if anyone else calls fellow writers on this platform “Vocalists”?

Sounds Great
When the boom came, some passengers applauded and cheered, others grasped and clutched their chests. The power of the aircraft breaking the sound barrier was more than witnessing the height of a slam dunk from the foul line. The sight of seeing a human being soar through the air related to an air vessel sailing through the skies. This was a definite comparison…and extra.

Left/Right
In the halls of power, the act of doing wrong flourished. The Senate and the House of Representatives sought reconciliation. They got together on issues like God and guns to be upheld by the left and for the right to further shoot down wokeness and nature environmentalism. Actually both sides agreed already on the latter.

Soothe the Mind
Yarn unspooled and rolled in a Wilmington, Delaware street. People walked around in the nude and paid no attention to the red thread that rolled and rolled. It was a frosty sixteen degrees Fahrenheit with the sun poking through the gray skies. Police officers remained in the buff as well. Everyone was doing it. To save the snails and the whales and birds and the worms, folks just walked with a devil-may-care attitude. On one street corner, a woman slashed her face after giving away a pair of shorts she had cherished, treasured, really, and started sobbing.
