A Temporary Mouse
I saw something on the brink of yesterday. Although it hid from me. I saw what I could only take to be the end of my search. Something perfect, yet it was as fragile as the thin branches of a tall tree. It was something I yearned for, but hated with all of my will power. It ran from me, but I chased it, I dove from high above. My ears twitched at the slightest movement made by the little creature. As I dove I thought to myself. Is this really my livelihood? To chase, and never be chased. What’s the point of hunting if there is no excitement of being hunted. I would love to hide, deep beneath the snow and run through tunnels to feel the thrill of escape. I sometimes wish I wasn’t born to lurk in the trees. I wish I was given the excitement of being hunted, just for once. But perhaps I truly did have the sufferer’s life. I was the one responsible for killing. Maybe, it’s the strong ones who really feel the most pain. I can’t say much on this topic, I’m not a very learned owl.

Twin's Telling
My identical twin sister and I have always shared experiences that are completely unexplainable. My mother tells us of many incidents, like when we were both learning to walk. I was toddling around and stood up underneath a high chair and bonked my head. My mom testifies that I didn’t blink or cry at all but my twin was in the other room and instantly screamed out and began crying. Mom also said that since we could communicate that we had our own language between us. Mom said we would shut our bedroom door and not allow her in. She said she was always following us around and observing us, that we were so different than other children and our older brother.

Sustainability
As we travel around the world, we are committed to caring for the planet and its inhabitants. We have a deep passion for sustainable agriculture and it is in our DNA. We love to travel and work with farm animals. We are aware that the world is changing, and that more people are becoming aware of the importance of conserving and using these animals. We know the world can be a better place when animals are kept in a healthy and safe environment. We have a number of ways in which we can support these efforts.

What remains of Her... (And us.)
It’s one thing to think about the future, and another to live it, I think. Should I explain that one? I suppose so. It’s about the year 2056, and the Earth is gone. For Us. It’s still there of course, the requisite 5 million years haven’t passed for the Sun in our Solar System to go supernova and truly swallow the planet whole.

Life 101: Cigarettes, Moonlight and Drama
Whoah...... s***!.....the whoosh from the wing flap flipped my hair up, I swear, the wing swept inches in front of my face and upwards at once...she must have been trying to catch something on the ground... didn’t she see me standing here?

Soul Set Loose
The kinship entered into the villas interior. Around the central garden, five stories opened upward like giant steps of a pyramid, and each held a terrace as the architecture receded before the rising garden. Sweeping backward as the ceiling revealed open sky on each of the four sides, the sight of draped mosses refreshed Echecrates, ever since the days of his youth. The tiered terraces let sunlight in through the clear plexiglass dome above. A dome that would soon open as winter approached its end. For now, layers of additional sheeting extended from each terrace, creating a collage of coloured streaks as the 6 layer bubble kept in pockets of warm air.
