Mourning Star
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That's all I wanted now, to drift quietly into the sound of nothing. I had searched for that abyss here on earth but 2022 had evolved our planet into one giant satellite that could stream a steady kind of tinnitus you could actually feel. There were no more places one could dwell among the mountaintops and contemplate the Now. There was only the perpetual buzz of communications resonating through the Social Registry chip implanted in every citizen's molar. I needed to find fluent silence.

The Joy of Serving: That I Never Wanted
It was harder than I thought--standing there watching Syra’s literal bone crushing exploits to get people to join. I had never seen such aggressive tactics. I started going in first to just about beg these people to join knowing what they could expect from her. They got angry at me and would holler at me and curse me. I tried to calm them and help them find a way out, which seemed to make them even more angry.

Emily
When it began, my eyes were shut tight, and all I could hear was the rhythmic clobbering of the unknown train on its unnamed track. I came to my senses with a jumble of wayward memories, all mixed up in the tornado of my mind, none of which related to why I was on a train, who I was, or how I got here.

The Aloki
First, forget all about a black draped figure swooping down with a scythe. Forget Matt Damon in Dogma or Mandy Patinkin in Dead Like Me. That is not what they look like or act like. Aloki, aka as the Angels of Death are part of the family of Cherubim (who are NOT sweet little cherubs floating on clouds by the way). Aloki which in Hindi means Light, in Hebrew means Divine and in some African Languages means hunter, are just that. They are Divine Light Beings and are Hunters. They are the Divine Light.

Revelation
I can’t remember a time when Maddie wasn’t in my life. We met as toddlers, our parents were next-door neighbors, and we spent almost every day playing together. Many children drift apart once they start school, but not Maddie and me. We attended the same grammar school, had the same teachers, and helped each other with homework. Inseparable, joined at the hip, two peas in a pod and all those other tired clichés were used to describe us by the adults. That’s how it was right up to the day her father got promoted and the family moved to another state.
