Adventure
Arrival
It seemed to Carmen, as her taxi charged off the highway, that she may have made a mistake. Her mouth had been dry since getting off the plane and just now she had noticed how white knuckles were from grasping onto the greasy door handle. Whether these symptoms were born from elation or fear of what lay on the other side of the taxi-door, Carmen was uncertain. The morning was early, and a usual greyness hung in the air, a greyness that always seems to carry the chance of rain. She peered into the rear view mirror, all hints of the airport and the highway and her old home, amongst gum trees and white-washed coastal suburbia, were long gone behind her.

Trapped in Motion
John stepped onto the train that was his every day commute and took a seat, but something felt off. He couldn't remember how he had gotten there, or even where he was headed. He reached into his pocket for his train ticket, but it was empty. He frantically searched his bag and his person, but he couldn't find any form of identification or indication of where he was headed. He looked around the train, but no one seemed to take notice of him.

Intergalactic Unity: Quest to Save the Galaxy
In a far-off galaxy, there existed three intelligent species, each calling their own planet home. The Ausarians, a species of octopus-like creatures, lived on planet Ausar. They had long, slender tentacles they used for manipulation and movement, and their bodies were covered in a slimy, water-based skin that helped regulate their temperature. Their eyes were large and expressive, and they had a complex network of nerves that allowed them to process information quickly and accurately. Their society was advanced, with towering cities and sleek spacecrafts, and they were known for their problem-solving skills and ability to adapt.

A Whisper of Words
The scent of books hovered in the air as I pushed the book cart around the library. It started off great but took a turn for the worse when the opening headline mentioned that the police found a prominent local doctor dead from a gunshot wound, execution style. I shook my head in disbelief as I knew her, and doctor Tabitha Grey was one of my favorite regulars.

A Little Adventure
Vanessa hugged the tree. It flailed its branches wildly and shrieked. The sound pained my ears, and I fell to the ground, protecting myself from the chaos. It recoiled so violently from her that I could see the roots beneath the surface, moving, and I was sure it was attempting to uproot itself.
