Fantasies in free time
In the quaint town of Willowbrook, where time seemed to linger in the dappled sunlight of its ancient oaks, lived a young woman named Emily. Emily, a dreamer by nature, found solace in the quiet corners of the town's library. It was here, among dusty tomes and whispered tales, that her imagination took flight.One lazy summer afternoon, Emily stumbled upon an old leather-bound book tucked away in a forgotten shelf. Its pages, yellowed with age, held secrets of forgotten realms and whispered promises of adventure. Intrigued, she traced the intricate patterns on the cover, and as she did, a faint glow enveloped her.Suddenly, Emily found herself standing in a vast meadow bathed in hues of twilight. The air hummed with magic, and before her stood a majestic unicorn with a mane of silver and eyes that sparkled like stars. "Welcome, dreamer," the unicorn spoke, its voice a gentle melody. "You have entered the realm of Daylight's Edge, where dreams take form."Over days that blurred into weeks, Emily returned to the meadow, each time discovering new wonders: enchanted forests where trees whispered ancient wisdom, and crystalline lakes that reflected dreams yet to be dreamt. She befriended sprites that danced on moonlit paths and shared laughter with creatures straight out of bedtime stories.But as Emily's visits lengthened, she noticed a subtle change. The boundaries between her world and Daylight's Edge began to blur. Shadows grew longer in Willowbrook, and whispers of her adventures reached curious ears. Concerned, Emily sought answers from the wise old librarian who had seen generations pass through his library's doors."Child," he said, his eyes twinkling with knowing, "Daylight's Edge exists in the moments between wakefulness and sleep, where hearts open to possibilities. Your dreams are real, for they are woven from the threads of your imagination."With newfound understanding, Emily embraced her dual worlds. She continued to visit Daylight's Edge, now with a purpose—to bring back tales that sparked wonder in the hearts of her townsfolk. And as she shared her adventures, the town of Willowbrook blossomed with a renewed sense of magic, where idle moments became cherished dreams waiting to be lived.

Dead and Wearing Green
She was wearing that green dress when I first saw her, five years ago to the day. Flowing meadow fabric draped over long legs, thick auburn hair flowing down her back. That smile. Of course, she is still beautiful now. But now she is no longer alive.

Why Black History Matters in America?
The United States of America is celebrating their 250th anniversary in 2026. I'm proud to be an American and as someone who was born here, I wouldn't imagine myself living anywhere else. This is a country where opportunities are possible. Where anyone can be successful in anything they desire to do. Equality, community, and togetherness are the backbones of what America is and should be about. However, we have an administration who wants to erase and disregard those who have made positive, meaningful impacts in our country, specifically Black figures, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and Maya Angelou. President Trump and his administration have been constantly complaining and fighting against what they call the "Woke agenda". They use this excuse as a distraction from other issues they refuse to address, such as the high cost of living, climate change, and inflation. That equality is dividing America, when in reality, it's bringing us together. Being woke is not tied to a specific political party. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you can still care about other people and their plights. Compassion and empathy for others isn't tied to a political party, either. We were taught as children to treat others the way we want to be treated and not judge others because they're different from us. Caring about others isn't a personal attack on your beliefs. It doesn't make you any less of a person. People who are easily offended over African American figures, past or present, or anything related to it, are grasping at straws. Current and future generations need to know who people like Harriet Tubman and Shirley Chisholm were, especially in the classroom. Black History is part of American History. It should be recognized, not hidden or forgotten. Besides, you can't shield children from everything, just because your feelings are easily hurt.
