Her Name Was Iris
I observed from a distance. Every move she made caused my heart to race. Her beauty was radiant, even in the dim light. I longed to touch that silky black hair. Wild and free, just like her.

An Ally on an Island
When he saw the tail of the jet sink into the ocean, he knew that he would have to settle on the island for a while.

With a quick flip, he fell forward onto the sand, detaching the parachute before the wind pulled him into the ocean. It caught on the rock that kept a wave off of him, flapping in the air as the sky darkened and rain pelted his uniform.

Twin Sister
To the rest of the world, my sister died on the day of our tenth birthday. July 6th, 1995 Roughly twenty five years ago, me and my sister were born. I entered this world first, and five minutes later, she came out. Five minutes. That was the only thing that separated us. We looked identical, with the same brown eyes and chestnut hair.
