What Could Turn The Earth?
The Earth continued turning, the speed all at once imperceptible and nauseating but its weight on us measuring all the same. The turning of the lonely planet never quite made sense, but it was always present... Until it wasn’t. On the day the Earth stood still we stumbled, tripped over ourselves and our neighbors. Some accused the other of not looking where they were going, that they didn’t fall, they were shoved. All the same everyones' knees had hit the ground in one moment of yielding. Some people got to their feet in the days following, wiped dust from their hands and continued walking, saying, don’t you see? We can move even if the Earth isn’t, and others said, you’re wrong.

Correspondence
By the time I stepped outside, the leaves were on fire...I re-register that thought in my mind...the leaves were on literal fire. The noise I'd heard didn't seem natural, and the fire didn't act natural -- thinly coating the layer of leaves that had just recently fallen to the ground in typical early-fall fashion. The flames also held no real heat ... at least, I couldn't feel any.

Interplanetary Sunsets (Chapter 3)
It's rather hard to fall asleep in this rather comfortable room Voltrex thought to himself as he was awoken yet again by the automated air system. With the latest in AI and machine learning algorithms, the air systems here keep rooms at precisely the temperature you desire. If there's any minute flex in the room's climate, the AI rather harshly adjusts the advanced HVAC to combat the effect so the room stays in suboptimal conditions.

Olaf Recaps The 'Star Wars' Prequels
When thinking of Josh Gad and Star Wars, the first thing that may come to mind is the times when he tried to get "insider information" from Daisy Ridley in interviews as the sequel trilogy was coming out. He has also voiced a controller in Star Wars Rebels episode "Double Agent Droid." Now, we have another reason to associate him with the franchise.

Introducing Tarot
Anyone can learn to work with tarot and can benefit greatly from its insights; all you need is an open mind and a willingness to trust the impressions you sense during a reading. Tarot is a system of archetypes, a picture-book of the human condition, reflecting our states of mind and stages of life. Over the past six hundred years, people have consulted the cards for religious instruction, spiritual insight, self-knowledge, and divining the future. The ancient symbols we see on the cards are designed to stimulate our intuition, connecting us with our higher selves or our divine or spiritual aspect.

A Discernment of Power
When one visualises a channel, there is a certain rigidity, a pathway, a structure which holds the necessary space within which some ethereal makeup may be siphoned, directed, or contained and filtered through. Alternatively, as a host to a stream of information or energy with a timeless force, that may not reject it’s purpose to split the past and future, so there is only - NOW - an extraterrestrial cleave in the perceived stability of linear fabrication.

What If
What if? We all have so many questions or what if's. This is is going to be my what if to you as the reader. What if you or someone you knew claims to have experienced death and lived to tell about it. But this experience didn't come from a near tragic accident. Or maybe it did. What if this experience came to a person in their dreams?

The 3 Ancient Brothers
In the times of the ancient world, When the people had begun to stand for themselves and rebel against the tyrant pharaoh. War was breaking out sporadically all over the world, as rebel armies were growing and their finest warriors becoming so chiseled that they had earned names with themselves by their people, so much that even pharaoh himself new their names, trembling at the sound of them...
