Australian Strangers
Strangers 1 Hail to the bus driver, hail to the bus man. On Route 465, Moonee Ponds to East Keilor, during these times of COVID-19, is one of my daily experiences. Something to do. Now, let's say, the traditional biker's goatee, silver though, cigarette in hand, one of the last few, is how I introduced myself. “Ha, well, we are dying with every breath anyway, might as well make it one you enjoy!” said Jim.

The Visitor
Ernie lived in a small cabin in the woods. It was really more of a luxury fishing shack than a true cabin with little work spent on appearance and much more work spent on function. He lived on a hill next to a very bubbly and largish stream which flowed to a river and then on to the sea. The cabin was surrounded by beautiful pines and maples and a sense of peace and contentment filled the air. For miles around, all that could be seen as a sign of human habitation was the small smoke trail from Ernie’s cabin where a warm fire kept the chill out of the air inside. Ernie sat napping in his easy chair, an open book on his lap and a steaming cup of coffee by his side.

Plastic is terrible for us 😨
Please like and Rating my content Plastic has significant negative impacts on the environment, human health, and wildlife. It takes hundreds of years to decompose, accumulating in landfills and oceans. Over time, plastic breaks down into microplastics, contaminating soil, water, and air. Millions of tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean each year, creating "garbage patches" and harming marine life. Animals often mistake plastic for food, leading to ingestion that can cause choking, starvation, or poisoning. Entanglement in plastic waste can injure or kill wildlife.

In the pursuit of power, wealth, and dominance, humanity often teeters on the edge of losing its essence, transforming into something primal, something animalistic. While humans are distinguished by their ability to reason, empathize, and build societies based on cooperation, history is filled with moments where these traits are eclipsed by greed, violence, and the ruthless hunger for control. What happens when humans, endowed with the capacity for empathy, become consumed by their darker instincts?

The Beetle and the Butterfly. Top Story - September 2024.
There was once a beautiful butterfly. He flew above all the other insects with ease, his skirt-wings billowing in the breeze. He was a most brilliant red. The same red as the roses and tulips he would delicately sip from. The tips of his wings were adorned with complex circles of yellow and blue that shined in the sunlight - all accented with ink blots of darkest black.

Valoria
Thalos made his way to the central hall, his mind racing with the possibilities of why he had been summoned so urgently. The elder’s stern face from earlier weighed heavily on his thoughts, adding to the pressure. As he entered the dimly lit room, the air felt thick with the importance of what was to come. Seated around the long table were several of the tribe’s elders, their expressions serious, and their voices hushed as they spoke in low tones. One of them, Elder Garith, motioned for Thalos to step forward.
