Newtons Cradle
If I could promise you the world gets better in the future, I would. Unfortunately, I cannot promise that because I would be lying. My name is Nola, and the year is 2836. The world as you knew it has been destroyed and mostly abandoned. The only ones inhabiting Earth now are the last of the full-blooded human race… That is roughly about 82,000 humans left completely in the whole universe. About 30 minutes ago the Galactic army took 20,000 of them to be used as lab rats… but what they do not know is My team and I have rescued 6,000 of them and placed them on a secure smaller planet outside this solar system, in hopes they never find them. I wish we could save more, losing them is like losing a part of myself but unfortunately it is very dangerous, caught escorting humans out of earth is a death sentence… Literally…

The Greatest Loss
“Negativity is born from the rejection of our own divinity,” my mother’s words echoed inside me. I believe I would have lost my mind already, had the memories of her not provided me company. She expressed this phrase to me as a child, and is something I think of often. It’s the accuracy of it all. The world never truly accepted the divinity of women. Now, it’s too late.
