In the sleepy town of Ekato, time agonizingly crawled. Every day, the sun rose, and the villagers silently waited for a traveller. At midnight, an ominous bell rang. Another day of silence in Ekato.
One fateful day, a wanderer passed through. The villagers were determined to tell their tale.
The wanderer listened to every harrowing word oddly being counted by a drum beat. As a bell tolled, the hundredth word was uttered.
The village gasped wide-eyed as the bell crumbled. The village rejoiced on into the night.
The wanderer vanished with an extraordinary story recalled in merely one hundred words.

The Crane Catalyst
Under moonlight, The Cranes gathered. The "impenetrable" Le Marquis Bank in sight. Our insider, "Morris", propped the emergency exit, now entrance. Sal, always the charmer, even got the guard's phone number. VOLTaire killed the power as Bella slithered to the vault, locked by a biometric that will cost the CEO their job. Bella held her breath and placed her amino synthesized glove. The vault gave up a final gasp. Ours. Finally. Shimmering like a diamond of untold worth. They packed swiftly, leaving only a rainbow origami crane behind. The world would never be the same. Together, The Cranes lift all.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
