I wish I could see the far future
Wouldn’t it be nice to see the far future? Thousands and even millions of years from now things will be so different we cannot even imagine. By then we would have settles, the Moon, Venus, Titan, Mars and many other places. If you are from the future, please read this and here are some things I believe will change in the future and those that are from the future can verify. Many people today may say they would never get implants or any anything, but times change, and resistors become fewer.

Red Pineapple, Blue Mango
Right now, the second worst person you can be in this city is me. Mama always tells me you make your own luck in life. You work hard, make the right choices, and stick to ‘em. You study your enchantments every night, you choose the right mentors, you make the right connections, and boom…you’re always lit. People do right by you and life is a smooth float right to the end, til you’re descending six feet under purple roses lovingly tended to by an Enchantor.

The Meet
Felix Alfonse watched the severely underweight, pasty white guy with a briefcase that screamed, ‘ROB ME,’ walk through the sea of coffee swilling and steak and eggs eating rough necks. It was practically comical. The only reason he hadn’t been robbed was because Felix was in residence.

Watching for Tiny
Burrowed under layers of blankets topped with a heavy wool military-issued green cover, I attempted a stretch until a toe left the safety of my cocoon. I quickly returned to a crunched position. I’d made a small opening allowing fresh air to enter. My nose hairs didn’t freeze, so I presumed it was not as cold as usual.

That triangle discovered by Ilaria in the starry sky: was it perhaps a UFO?
Ilaria Cicerale is an Apulian girl fresh from a three-year degree (congratulations and good continuation of her studies to complete her university career) who has the hobby of photographing the stars. On one of these summer evenings, however, he set something special. He noticed it a few days later, but the emotion was equally strong. I leave to his story the explanation of what it is about: let's say that there is ... the scent of UFOs, and that is why he asks the blog visitors for an opinion.

What Happened to Tommy?
“She’s in there,” I could hear them say. I’m sure their coats were white and their clipboards metal. All they could see was a broken-down woman with tears streaming down her face. Sometimes there were smiles and other times complete sadness, but I could never make a sound. Never a word. Never a gasp. I couldn’t see the white walls but I could feel the padding around me. I wished they felt more like the feathery pillows on my MaMaw’s bed that I wasn’t ever supposed to be on and less like the stiff leather seats of my dad’s old Ford Ranger, but that was only a minor inconvenience. Where I really was, was where I needed to be and there was no use for physical me anyway.
