A unhosted day
The morning sun cast its golden glow across the sleepy town, waking it from its nocturnal slumber. The cobblestone streets, worn by centuries of footsteps, echoed with the distant chirping of birds and the muffled sounds of doors creaking open. As the town stirred to life, there was an unusual air of calmness, as if the day itself had decided to take a break from the usual hustle and bustle.

12/12
On This Day The twelfth of December, 12/12, a date when the UK and USA could agree for once. It also does happen twelve times a year, once a month. Nut this 12/12 was different. No one saw it coming. No one could explain it.

The Scariest Moments in Space
Two images are rapidly changing before your eyes: our vast planet and a dark void. The Earth picture is shrinking by the second as you fly away from the spaceship into an endless vacuum. You're unsure of what to do next. The International Space Station orbits 250 miles above the Earth's surface, and spacewalks are a regular part of the astronauts' work there. Astronauts have spent over 11,000 hours in the black abyss to this day. Thankfully, no one has ever drifted away into outer space without returning, as depicted in movies. However, astronauts face other equally terrifying dangers during spacewalks. One such incident occurred in 1966 when Eugene Cernan wore a jetpack to perform repairs in outer space. The jetpack, which helps control flight in zero gravity, became extremely hot. Eugene wore special metal pants to protect himself from the heat, but they failed to redirect it away from his body.

Three stories about wolves
A butcher came home after selling meat. It was getting late. Suddenly a wolf came running up. When he saw the meat in the load, he was so greedy that his mouth watered for a long time. The butcher walked in front, and the wolf followed for several miles. The butcher was very frightened, so he took out his knife to scare the wolf, and the wolf retreated slightly. The butcher turned around and walked away again, but the wolf followed him again. The butcher was at his wits' end and thought that what the wolf wanted to eat was meat, so he might as well hang the meat on a tree and pick it up early tomorrow morning. He hooked the meat with a hook, raised his feet and hung it on the tree. He showed the empty load to the wolf, and the wolf stopped. The butcher went straight home. Early the next morning, when the butcher went to get the meat, he saw a big thing hanging on the tree from a distance, which looked like a hanging man. He was shocked. He hesitantly walked closer and saw that it was a dead wolf. When he looked up and took a closer look, he saw that the wolf was holding meat in its mouth, and the meat hook pierced the wolf's upper jaw, just like a fish swallowing bait. At that time, the price of the wolf skin was very high. He sold it for more than ten taels of silver, and the butcher made a small fortune. It's really ridiculous that a wolf meets a wolf when a tree seeks fish.

Grappling with Myself
"Wait, what? You are going to fight yourself? In a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu match?" Steve asked, the puzzlement and confusion evident in his voice. "I've got to hand it to you buddy, it is one of the most interesting of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard, so at least its got that going for it." I gave my friend a look of disapproval and sighed loudly in exasperation before replying "First, I am going to grapple, not fight. We do not fight in BJJ, we grapple. Fighting is what happens on the streets amongst rival gangs, grappling is what happens in the gym on the mat between honorable opponents. Second, I will not be grappling with myself, I will be grappling with my concept of myself, my concept of identity." The look on Steve's face gave away his obvious confusion, and that look grew even more confused the longer he considered the idea. It was a reaction I was very much used to from almost everyone whenever I opened my mouth, but most especially from Steve. I loved the guy but he was a bit of a dullard. That, combined with the fact of my own insanity which led me to say, think, and do crazy things on a fairly regular basis would often leave Steve in a greatly confused state. But, one of the things I really liked about him was his generally sunny and optimistic outlook and I was not surprised at all when I saw his look of bewilderment slowly replaced by a smile which was shortly thereafter followed by a soft laugh.
