Bargaining Chip
Jistan held himself still with all the mental concentration he could muster. He resisted the urge to draw his sword or shuffle from foot to foot, instead attempting to mimic the calm, relaxed posture of the more experienced soldiers around him.

The Resistance
CHAPTER THREE | “New Blood” -PLANET FOOR- | Oris I glanced anxiously at another hand carved clock that had been nestled into the back of the family car. Tucked delicately into a hollowed out space just behind the driver’s seat. I honestly thought of it as a painful attempt at humor on my grandfather’s behalf and made a mental note to talk with him about it later.

Pain and Suffering?
CHAPTER FIVE "Imagine if you can, living in a world without pain and suffering. Where human beings are naturally happy and where your days are filled with joy and happiness devoid of stress or anxiety. It's a real possibility."

As the car pulled into the driveway, I found myself staring out the window watching as all the trees fell behind. It almost felt as if they had been running along next to the car, unable to catch up. Suddenly everything came to a sudden stop and my arm flew up and gripped my dads arm as my nails carved into his skin. "Dad!" I shouted out.

The worm has its bird, the bird its cat, the cat its dog. But a woman contends with the male of her own species. The predators hunt alone and in packs.

Stress Test Ch. 31
One way Thrift Aisles kept prices so low was by letting customers bag and carry their own groceries. Sandy didn't necessarily enjoy that—especially when she had Saury on her hip, but she could scarcely afford to shop anywhere else with the household budget Stephen X had allowed.

Stress Test Ch. 32

The Resistance
CHAPTER TWO | “Dilly Little White Girl…” -PLANET FOOR- | Saigon We slept in the trees now. Hammocks of woven vines and weeds tightly strung up the highest of trees, with hand carved wooden clasp that released to let us down in the mornings.

But I admired his aggressive thought.

Stress Test Ch. 29
Stephen X towered over Sandy. His hands clenched and relaxed. The veins in his forehead swelled to make him look like a Hollywood monster. In her daze, Sandy wondered if that might be why he loved those shoddy horror flicks so much—they showed him new ways to contort his features.
