Fight for me
Today was the day. I promised myself that I would not postpone telling Sam that I want a divorce and that I was now a lawyer. I have been thinking about it and I knew I could not wait again. I also knew that Israel would like to know that I would be soon done with Sam. He and I have been going out as friends but I was sure that he would like to move things to the next level if I should tell him that I was divorced. But what I did not know was if I was ready to move things to any level.

Between Stars
The meteoroid first came to me in a dream one night. At least, I think it was a dream. Perhaps I was chosen by them, and my soul had truly been brought to the skies that night and the many nights that we spent together after our first meeting. They never told me much, so I choose to believe the simplest answer; that I became swept up in their universe all while my body was tucked safely in bed.

Indica
Indica. God, I fucking love her. Just the sound of her name was enough to make me smile. ‘Love’ wasn’t quite strong enough to describe what she makes me feel for her… Indica has me on her leash. I would do absolutely anything for her.

trying to remember, to take a break?
I honestly didn’t recognize myself from about four months ago. It was so weird, I scrolled through old videos and I looked the same, but I know I didn’t look the same or feel the same. You know? Can’t you tell? Only I could know that really, but I wonder if anyone else did. She was really lost and I’m sorry for her actions. Sometimes when I’m like this, I just want to purge that other girl from my body, even if it means I have to skin myself alive to do so. I just want to rip her out and put her through a mugshot screen to prove to others, “that’s not me!” I would never do that though. I’m too much of a pussy, and it would probably hurt.

Frost and Flame
I watched out my bedroom window. Today was the day of my betrothal ceremony and it was all I could think about it. My eyes drifted to the wet landscape, unusual weather for this time of year. the air was humid and difficult to bear. I turned away from the window and my eye caught on a picture that hung from my wall. It was a picture of my mom and I sitting in the grass just outside the palace where I lived as the prince of my clan. My sister Calissa had painted it a while ago when I was just a kid and she was newly betrothed.

The Tree of Clouds
A flock of airships littered the sky over the enrapturing world of Mitris. Each ship was more ornate than the other, some with gilded glistening gold, stretching from bow to stern. Others with ebony wood, adorning their mast with silk sails. Though not every ship was powered by the wind, all ships did use a large pearl-like signal stone at their core. Once powered by steam, these pearl stones could lift the heaviest objects in flight with no effort.

ENCANTO
Walt Disney Animation Studios has released its first full-length feature film about a Latino family. The studio demonstrates that they still have it after 60 projects. Encanto deviates from the template that audiences have grown accustomed to. While the film is nice, it lacks the necessary sincerity.

Freedom
Freedom By: Megan Davis Chapter 1 It’s 10 am on a Friday and I’m sitting in my history class counting down the minutes until I can finally escape this classroom. Listening to Mr. Smith yammer on about 1913 is like sitting on a pile of nails. It’s extremely painful. The walls are suffocating me as I sit here, slowly coming in closer and closer.
