The Engine Roared. Content Warning.
They had never been on a journey this long before. She turned to him in the driver’s seat. He flashed a solemn, grim countenance. He used his telephone. She slapped it out of his hands and looked at him with intensity. He shot a similar face back at her. The engine roared. The stretch of highway beckoned her to go faster. No cops staked out along this stretch of Delaware highway from Kent County going into Sussex County.

There’s Nothing in the Attic
The house at the end of the street was for sale and it was a bright day in the town square down the road where the markets were beginning to open their shutters. Children who were off from school for the weekend, took their balls and dolls to play there often. Recently, the rest of the street noticed that the ‘for sale’ sign on that single house at the far end of the street had been crossed out and replaced with ‘sold’. A little girl with brown hair the length of her back, the daughter of the newcomer’s next-door neighbour shuddered lightly to her friend, “don’t you remember what happened there?” But her friend simply shook his head and shrugged it off. “That guy that went missing…Didn’t he live there?” She sounded unsure, as if she couldn’t remember, as if it had even happened in her lifetime.

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.
