The Coffee Shop
Peter always needed to trek across town if he wanted to enjoy the welcoming feeling he got when visiting his favorite coffee shop. No matter the traffic conditions or the weather, he felt the trip was always worth it. The joy Peter felt when he learned the local company was opening a new shop in his neighborhood was indescribable. There would be no more sitting in traffic or hunting for a place to park. In a matter of a few short weeks, he would simply walk down the block to his new home away from home.

The Moonstone Coven: Guardians of the Veil
"By moon's glow and raven's wing, let the hidden truths now sing," chanted Elara, the high priestess of the Moonstone Coven. With her staff raised high, the enchanted gem at its tip pulsed with an eerie luminescence, filling the woodland clearing with a wash of ethereal light. Around her, the other members of the coven—Aria, Selene, and Calliope—joined their voices in the incantation.

The Existential Woman
Being back at her brother's house did not make Shanna happy. He'd inherited the house over two years ago, and for all the money he'd spent on this and that the house still looked awful. Sure there had been some improvements, but none that the neighborhood would notice. The fence in the backyard hidden to any walking by. The new refrigerator, stove, washer, dryer, would not be considered cosmetic improvements. The watered, raked, and mowed grass would only be considered basic maintenance. Shanna's paintings or decorations would only be considered "silly" or "temporary", not substantial or valuable. So when Shanna sat around his house while he was at work day to day, she tried to blind herself to these details.

Categories of Angels
Categories of angels First category: Ordinary Angels Whether or not you've served in the armed forces, it's likely you're aware of the military's hierarchical classification of recruits. Similarly, God categorizes angels, demonstrating His divine orderliness. Among the heavenly host, the largest and most frequently mentioned group of angels in the Bible are what we might term "ordinary angels." This designation may seem paradoxical when describing these extraordinary, unique, and specially created beings, but it serves to distinguish them from the various special orders of angels mentioned in Scripture.

The Sparrow in the Amazon
Down on the floor of the Amazon River lies the SS Ark One. The Sparrow managed to escape with seconds to spare. Through the portal hole in the portal station, the Sparrow stole the ship and was on her way into another world. She had to get away. And she did, the only problem was she didn’t know what planet she was on, where she was, or when she was. She thought she might have accidentally time travelled in the process. The other problem was she hit her head off the control panel, knocking herself out, and the ship sank to the very bottom of the river. She had no idea of this yet, she decided to hit a bunch of random buttons to see where she would end up.

5 seconds on Uranus
If this is how you picture walking on Uranus you're wrong let's start this again are you ready to take a trip to the outer regions of the solar system to explore the weirdest planet in our Cosmic neighborhood to venture down into a place that's never been studied up close by any spacecraft buckle up for an icy violent and stinky Adventure because your mission is to spend 5 seconds on Uranus and come back if you can traveling to Uranus would be a long strange Journey first you'd have to spend 10 long years in a spaceship speeding toward the outskirts of the solar system if you're lucky you might even pass Jupiter and Saturn on the way just make sure you pack enough food and fuel well there are some things you should know about this world Uranus isn't a rocky planet like Earth it's an ice giant like Neptune and it's the only planet in the solar system that spins on its side it spins fast too one day on Uranus is just 17 Earth hours of course you wouldn't last that long on it not a chance once you arrived at your destination you still have some work to do to get close to this giant blue planet you might have to dodge Uranian Rings yeah Uranus has rings 13 of them they aren't big and Majestic like the gorgeous rings of Saturn the outer rings are bright and easy to spot but the inner rings are narrow and dark you'd have to navigate this part of the trip with the utmost care as you made your way through the dusty rings of Uranus you'd see its glorious blue atmosphere up close for the first time in human history take a moment to enjoy the ah Uranus what an odd balls Planet you know I flew by it a month ago that was fun you want to know why no body and I mean nobody has ever tried to land anything on the surface of this bootyful planet because Uranus has no surface it's just a swirling ball of toxic gas compressed around a small icy core oh and wait till I tell you why those gases on Uranus are toxic yeah gross yeah okay thanks for your input Chase it's true Uranus might have a calming blue color but it's cold and toxic not the kind of blue planet you want to visit that's okay I think you should sit this one out here I go [Music] woohoo H it's brisk here oh Rico what's the temperature - 224° c oh that's cold that explains why feel my fingers or my toes or the rest of my body okay well at least those 5 seconds are done okay Rico it's time to go home let's bounce impossible if my calculations are correct you will reach the icy core in 54.4 minutes so what that wasn't the plan what's point 4 of a minute you seconds you dumb bot I suggest you take this opportunity to study the planet up close and report back well I suggest you take this opportunity and stuffing up your charging port I don't have a charging port no one cares Rico no one cares honestly this sucks Uranus smells like yeah the reason Uranus smells so bad is that the clouds in its upper atmosphere are partially made up of hydrogen sulfide not only does this make the planet stink but it's also pretty toxic whatever you do do not inhale it if you did it' make you faint and die instantly what would have been real nice to know this before I jumped yeah well after falling through the stinky clouds at the top atmosphere you'd find yourself in the mix of 82% hydrogen 15% helium and a bit of methane methane gas is what gives Uranus that bluish green Haze because it absorbs light at the red end of the spectrum huh these uh these clouds are getting a little weird kind of floaty yeah the atmosphere on Uranus is very dense after passing through its top layer you'd stop falling and start swimming in it instead as you were paddling deeper you'd start getting pelted by Frozen gas crystals but at least the temperature would be rising I don't know about that I don't feel warm at all oh Rico give me the stats the temperature around you has indeed gone up to - 208° c my calculations show you can expectus 153° C in the lower atmosphere cool great ow what is that that well that's Diamond rain yeah on urinous it rains diamonds that's because the Uranian atmosphere is rich in methane a single carbon compound under extreme pressure the methane molecules break apart and crystallize into diamonds but the worst part is the wind you'd be dealing with winds gusting at speeds of up to 900 mph that's 3 and 1/2 times stronger than a category 5 hurricane here on Earth R it's getting tightened here oh I can hardly breathe and when I do breathe it smells like ass of of course the pressure is 100 times greater than the atmospheric pressure at Earth's sea level you are approaching the mantle the good news is you wouldn't splatter on anything because there's not much in the way of solids on Uranus the Uranian mantle is made of water ammonia and methane ice it would be Pitch Black in here and thanks to the extreme gravity you wouldn't be able to move a muscle and it would still be incredibly cold what you should be worried about is the immense pressure that would be rapidly increasing the closer you got to the planet center it would squish you before you ever got to the core being crushed by Uranus I always thought it would be way nicer well in this extreme pressure environment your carbon-based body could turn into diamonds and drop down into the core what a spectacular way to finish this oneway trip to the center of Uranus Chase oh all right our solar system is enormous there are so many planets.
