The Year 2100.
An illustrious night had finally come to the moment everyone had been waiting for, the clock strikes midnight, it’s here, the almost unimaginable, year 2100. Waves and waves of people celebrate, streets filled with flashes of light bellowing from incredible firework displays, with children and pets alike in awe. But the big question is on many minds, what will the new century bring? Prosperity? Happiness? Or will the following decades become a shadow of what could have been.

A Glimmer of Hope
The last shark on earth swims through the ocean deep. In the twenty-second century, the ocean is unrecognizable from its former beauty. The colorful coral reefs, once teeming with thousands of marine species, are now deserted and decaying. The ocean’s surface will never gleam a dazzling blue again, now that it is littered with over 600 million tons of plastic, and the sky has become dull and gray. The world’s great oceans, after giving life to infinite marine animals for millennia, are now filthy and dying.

Unknown
The shapeless dark hues of blue and violet in the distance sent Sarah’s imagination into overdrive visualising what could be lurking in the deep, watching. Rock formations in the distance, faintly illuminated by her dive torch played tricks on her mind. She would often run wild with her imagination on these deep dives she does for her research on sperm whales. Running with thoughts like if the coelacanths which were thought long extinct, aren’t, is there any other thought to be extinct species hiding down in the Gulf of Mexico?

Bebe, Baba, and the Bunch
There he was...sitting there, looking so cute and adorable. I came to this same spot regularly, but I never noticed him before. Was he a local? Perhaps he had come here before but I just didn’t notice him. I wanted to introduce myself but I was busy and he seemed a bit distracted. Maybe I would see him tomorrow.

IVORY ISLAND
This can’t be happening, I thought to myself. I looked around, and my entire canoe was surrounded by a pod of sharks. I felt like a small star in the vast sky, but I didn’t panic. Instead, I stopped paddling and lifted my paddle from the water. I looked over at Brian, my boyfriend, and he seemed petrified at the sharks that surrounded his canoe as well.

What a waste
Christmas of 1973, I received my first sewing machine at the ripe old age of 10. I still have that sewing machine. I no longer us it but, I will never let it go. That machine sits in my sewing room in a prominent spot so that I can see it every day. It represents the beginning of the love affair I have with creating and the euphoria I have when I have finished something I have been working on. Often in the evenings I would cut out a pattern just so I would have it ready to work on. There is something special about getting up before the sun and sitting at my machine. I am not sure if it is the stimming cup of tea, the quietness of the house or the rhythmic sound of the machine going thump. thump, thump but, I could sit there for hours.

The Cloudy Pacific
The California dream is a golden coastline, glorious water and stress-free living. Only one of those things is true. I found myself desperately missing home as my toes anchored me to the Malibu shoreline. Was this it? Violent, cloudy water? The drive to Will Rogers Beach from my Echo Park apartment had me melting like a popsicle in the driver's seat of my CRV; but somewhere along the Pacific Coast Highway the seasons magically transformed and suddenly it was winter in the dead of July.
