Shadows in the Dark
Daniel pulled the blankets up to his head and closed his eyes. His mother had already come in twice at his beckoning. She checked the closet and under the bed, but she didn’t find anything. Both times she told him there was nothing to be scared of and to go to sleep. But even now as he laid in bed, his blanket pulled tight over his head and his eyes closed tightly, the closet door creaked as it opened and the floor boards groaned as weight was put on them.

Into the Woods
Mary woke with a start, her sheets and clothing soaked in sweat. The nightmare was always the same. A distorted memory from when she was a child. A memory that now, so many years later, she doesn’t even know how much of it was real and how much was fiction created by her own imagination and fear.

Plans and Schemes
5 hours. That is how long I had been waiting for the answer. I rechecked my data. I had already examined it thoroughly multiple times. I knew my math was correct. I had an advanced degree in engineering and had done calculations much more complex. I knew she would be second guessing my addition, as well as my subtraction, multiplication, division, and probably my motives. I had explained my logic multiple times, but she doubted me.

Amelia Cruz: The Dixon Project
5 February 1958 The B-47 departed from an unidentified airfield in Nebraska at 0515 on 5 February 1958. Four hours later the behemoth was cruising at 38,000 feet over North Carolina and Georgia. The pilot was Colonel Kevin Dixon, his co-pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Bryant Ross, and his navigator, Major Doug Menard, all officers in the United States Air Force. They were on a routine Top Secret training mission. Their mission was to practice flying long distances and for extensive periods of time, exactly what would be required should the United States declare war on the Soviet Union. The United States Secretary of Defense decided that in order to make sure that their training was as close to reality as possible, pilots should be required to train with an actual payload on the bomber. Their package was an eight-thousand-pound nuclear bomb, capable of destroying Moscow with its magnificent power.

The Heart Shaped Locket
I was only nine when the asteroids hit. The first asteroid hit Earth in northern India. It was the largest of the bunch and killed millions upon impact. The results were felt immediately around the world. Countries began to close their borders, prices that were already high became astronomical. Smaller countries began fighting with their neighbors for resources, while others began to board what limited supplies they had.
