It Came From Out Of Space
The mystery of the universe.
James was in the cardiology department of his local hospital having his heart scanned. "How old are you?" said the cardiologist with a tone of surprise creeping into his voice. "I'll be 150 years old next week." replied James matter of factly. "That's impossible, no way." exclaimed Dr Lucern. James showed his birth certificate to prove his age. "But how?" Dr Lucern asked. "When I was in my twenties I found this." said James as he fished an odd looking stone from his pocket. "Never had a day's illness since I found it.They say it came from out of space."

The Dryads are Calling
They say the forest by Phoenix River sings. Perhaps it is just the wind howling through the leaves, or a particular birdsong. But Percy Fisher knows better; he knows what lies in those woods, and he knows that the forest sings of his demise.

Love's Circumstances
Gargoyles were always her favorite and she brought three of hers from home to college. They sat prominently on her desk in her off-campus apartment. This bright March morning, Susan walked across the quad and headed for the student union. Wilmont College was a beautiful place with a beautiful campus. Student union, library, class buildings and administration buildings all built with Gothic architectural influence. She had loved it when she first arrived here for her freshman year and after she had met Dennis, it was paradise. She joked about love at first sight with him, but truly believed that was what happened. “Hey Susan,” Jason yelled at her as he ran to catch up. “Hold your horses. Going to breakfast?” he asked. Susan tried not to let Jason see the tears in her eyes. “I’ll go with you if that’s ok.” Jason was hoping Susan was nearing the capacity to move on with her life and could he continue to be a friend?
