Fiction
Every Day
My love Abigail, We first met back in grade school, you wearing a pretty pink frock, while I wore my cowboy hat and worn jeans, my boots scuffed from the daily chores. We were only eight, but I remember the day you came up to me and introduced yourself, that smile so wide it almost seemed like your face would split in two, your forest green eyes shining like emeralds in the sunlight. The two braids, a muddy brown colour, were set tightly down the sides of your head. You made it your mission to be friends, and I am profoundly grateful you did.

Fear Not, Alice
Dearest Alice: Harold assures me that he will reach London in a fortnight. He will come bearing a myriad of foodstuffs and drink enough to drown half the city and this, my letter for you. Do not fret about my welfare, kind Alice. There is no question that the pestilence is in our midst here in Lincolnshire, but we have endured far worse by God's grace and mercy. I will wager that this, the year of Our Lord 1348, will not be the last that our fair county will endure. I will confess that Lincolnshire dimmed when you departed for the imperious shadows of London, but there is light here, still.

A Comprehensive History of Australia
A Comprehensive History of Australia Ancient Australia (Prehistory – 1788) Australia’s history begins with its Indigenous peoples, who have lived on the continent for over 65,000 years. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples developed diverse cultures, languages, and spiritual beliefs deeply connected to the land. They used sophisticated land management techniques, including controlled burning to maintain ecosystems. Rock art sites like those in Kakadu National Park provide insight into their rich cultural heritage. These early Australians adapted to a range of environments, from deserts to rainforests, developing a deep understanding of their surroundings and establishing complex social structures based on kinship and oral traditions. Their connection to the land, known as 'Country,' remains a central aspect of Indigenous identity today.

In the Trenches
April 2, 1945 My Dearest Emily, I woke up this morning on a cold cot in a drafty tent in a foreign country where people want to kill me. I pulled out your picture and kissed it like I do every morning. I need you to know that I keep your photo in my left shirt pocket closest to my heart. You keep me going in the hardest times and I swear I’ll come home to you.

Breaking: Dublin Plans Biggest Saint Patrick's Day Parade Ever
Saint Patrick's Day celebrations in Dublin have consistently drawn massive crowds, with the 2009 parade attracting more than 675,000 spectators. In fact, this cherished tradition, which began as an official Christian feast day in the early 17th century, has evolved into the world's most widely celebrated national festival. While the first official state-sponsored parade in Dublin didn't take place until 1931, we've witnessed this celebration grow into a global phenomenon. Notably, Saint Patrick's Day, observed on March 17 to commemorate Saint Patrick's death in 461 AD, now inspires festivities in more countries than any other national festival. As we prepare for this year's celebration, Dublin is set to make history once again with what promises to be its most ambitious parade yet.

The Platinum Locket
Dearest Belilia, How are you, my darling? I want to know if you planted those African violets around the garden. I can just smell the aroma of the flowers coinciding with the softness of the cocoa butter on your skin. I flew my second to last mission yesterday. As a newly minted first lieutenant, I ‘ve shot down as many as I could do. It’s so frigid around these places. Some of us have dubbed the area the “Frozen Chosin.” My plane fogs up so much, it’s difficult to see my targets. But I prevail. As a lieutenant in the first integrated sector of the United States military, it feels right. This is one of the only sectors that needs to fully embrace anyone ready to fight.
