Book of the Day
Time is what you take . Content Warning.
Time is what you take As I went outside, my day continued to be greeted by the stench of burned wood and smoke. There was no relief, and we all had to endure the devastation. This warm day, however, brought an end to the season of wet snow and windy times with a promise of hopeful new beginnings. Spring was a welcome moment in the village as each one had suffered the ruins of the winter months. I stepped back, put on my well-worn layers of cotton clothing and pulled a weighted shawl over my shoulders. Looking out the bright transparent window, I could only envision pots of geraniums and the gardens of my favorite daisies blooming all along the pathway of this mill building. I didn't pay attention to the obvious rubble in the distance of the homes that had been destroyed by fire in the dead of winter. The topic of the day was who was responsible for the chaos and why. In addition to the weather cursing our means of subsistence, the thieves were seeking to seize what was not theirs. It was an unforeseen moment in time when the heavy hand of fate came by fire. At the midnight hour, the barn was fully engulfed in flames. We were not prepared. I heard the heavy sound of footsteps and a door slam. It was my father, and he shouted, “Liz, help your mother!” My words were screams as I saw him leave the house and attempt to pull a cart away from the inferno, but his sleeve caught fire. He smashed his arm on the ground attempting to put it out. It was horrifying when I saw him, but I turned and helped my mother escape the burning horror. As the smoke billowed around us, each one screaming for help, a thug reached his arm across my waist, pulling me over and I lost my balance. His face was obscured by the darkness as the fire burned in the distance. I did not hesitate, reached down, grabbed a brick and smacked him in the chin on his way to pinning me down. I sprang up and whacked him again. He fell and groaned, but did not see that I had grabbed my Brown Bess and was now pointing it at him. Screaming and shouting with abandon, I told him to “Leave! NOW!” He held his hands up knowing that I was in charge. I fired a shot at his feet, and he turned and ran.

Ghost in the City "A Cyberpunk Gamer"
Chapter 1: The Awakening In the sprawling, neon-drenched metropolis of Neo-Tokyo, the line between reality and virtuality had long since blurred. The streets hummed with the buzz of drones, autonomous vehicles, and the incessant chatter of the unfiltered web. Towering skyscrapers reached toward the sky, their glass façades reflecting the artificial stars created by countless advertisements. Below, the underbelly of the city thrived—a maze of dark alleys, black markets, and the unyielding pulse of the city's vibrant but grim life.
