Adventure
The Chosen; Chapter 1
My hand tightens on Mother's as we approach the temple. Mother's hand tightens on mine. I look up to find her smiling at me reassuringly before looking ahead again. I continue to let her lead me along through the crowd also moving toward the temple. I recognize many faces from town.

Copper Sun Rising. Runner-Up in Behind the Last Window Challenge.
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. Everything was distorted by the thick glass, like looking through the bottom of a Coke bottle. She had to stand on the top of a wood crate, making herself taller by rising up on the tips of her toes. Her breath fogged up the pane. Little brown eyes gazed eagerly through the window as the blurred penny-colored sun set beneath the jagged molars of a distant cordillera. She loved watching it lazily sink like a slowly deflating balloon. From above, the haze blanketing the valley turned copper from the setting sun.

The Best TV Shows to Watch
The manner in which we consume our media has seen a key change in perspective throughout the past ten years. It occurred in steady advances — TiVo, VOD, the ascent of streaming organizations; those advances and a lot more are essential moves toward rebuilding the manner in which we approach serialized narrating designs. Simultaneously came the ascent of cell phone and tablet culture, and the open door that comes when a great many people have a screen before their countenances for most of their waking hours. Normally, not long after came the ascent of marathon watching.
