Man From The Shadows
Man From The Shadows Lost “They're coming for her.” The whispers echoed throughout the wolf’s den, where they all slept soundly. Even Wolfme had dozed off in the serenity of the place. Caleb slowly raised his head and listened more carefully. “You must go…...help....... her.” The whispered seemed desperate and he looked around trying to make sense of it. He really didn’t sleep that deeply anymore and it surprised him that his companions and rescuers were.

The Birds and Trees (Part 1)
I have been on this Earth for 23 years. That’s 289 months, 1,217 weeks, 8,551 days, 205,239 hours, 12,314,369 minutes, and at this moment 738,862,214 seconds. I do have to say looking that up and watching the seconds I’ve been alive tick by every- well, every second is unsettling. With every second ticking by I can’t help but feel like I’ve wasted every single one of them. All 738,862,346 of them. So many seconds and I’ve come to this very exact second wondering why in the hell I’ve been given so many seconds. Why do I, this individual speck of dust in the vast infinite universe, exist. More likely than not, most other human beings alive have pondered this question countless times. I honestly can’t for the life of me remember any single one of those seconds of my life that I was not in some capacity trying to figure out what it’s all for. It was at this exact second,738,862,597, that I figured it out.

Diary of a Single Woman
11-28 Dear Dairy, If you read my last entry, you’ll know that I’m in New York for Thanksgiving. So far, I’m loving it. Everyone is familiar with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, and it was exciting to sit on the sidelines and watch it live instead of on a screen. I’m not sure how long this holiday tradition will last, but at least I can say I am one of the few people to actually sit and watch it live before it ended (if it ever ends).

Re-entry pt1
you can refer to me as Mission Specialist Townsley. This all started with earth's first mission to Proxima Centauri b(to see if it's truly inhabitable). Everything was fine after a turbulent landing on the planet, for the first 2 days. After testing caused a small cave-in on the surface, my crew became very ill. Some of us pulled through, but most weren't as lucky. After informing Houston of our situation, we were told to stand by. We waited days for an answer. After 1 week of no communication, we voted and decided to head back home. The plant is just over 4 lightyears away(almost 149,000 earth years away) but thanks to science, we can travel at lightspeed. We will be re-entering earth's atmosphere soon. Our homecoming was not as we expected. Armed officer in hazmat gear was our welcoming party. We've been in quarantine for the past 36 days. They've run so many tests, I've lost count. I've been told we'll be released in two days.

Now they must go and look for him, find him and bring him home, before the tide carries him away.

Dreamer - Chapter 28
"Rev," I folded my arms across my chest, "What did you mean by that?" I could feel the worry fill my face. I can't be living inside his old house. No. What if I'm sleeping inside the same bedroom that he slept in? The things that he could've done in this house.. the things that could've happened.. I can't even think about. I used to feel so safe here. I used to think that this was the one place that wouldn't have the constant reminder of Rev written all over the walls.
