Beauty surrounds us, we have but to see.The ugly is around us too, sadly. Paradox of life and death is our view. Enigmas form and still we continue. The true human spirit never gives up. It goes on and on until it must stop. I watch the little begging baby bird Trying to make its pleadings still be heard. Life is strong within each creature we see, And nothing ever will make them unfree. They too have the souls that we cl...

I shouldn’t be timid anymore, but every time I could never bring myself to step up and call to attention that this was wrong. I sat by myself at the table this morning. Raven and Fei were still sleeping off the trauma of yesterday’s events. In fact, I was the only one that wasn’t asleep at the moment. The faint glow of the sun stones casted the empty room in an eerie light that made it more ominous than before. I shudder...

Biting into one's soul, turning cheeks red, making them burn as if on fire.Tears form, freezing, not letting your eyes blink.Welding nostrils shut, diminishing your ability to breath, burning throats and lungs as mouth is forced to open, when needing another breath.Snow and ice picked up from the ground swirling all around, blinding, peppering faces and all uncovered skin.Are you the devil's brother Mr. Wind? Sucking the...

The first expedition… Hank called for a general meeting on the third month to organize an expedition to the north, where M7G8 had told them there was a pile of steel left from the storm. He started by saying: ‘Listen, everybody. We need to expand and conquer the earth the right way this time.

2010…What the hell does he want this 40 meter deep house with magnetic walls for? The contractor thought to himself scratching his head. The man who gave him the contract seemed a normal guy, though a little edgy about the construction. He was not going to start asking questions, especially because he was getting well paid and was told to keep his mouth shut about the whole thing. The house was to be constructed strictly...

It all began with my person reading an article about cats being only semi-domestic, most would readily become feral if the occasion arose. “Ha, a lot they know about cats!” Thus was interrupted my peaceful after-breakfast sunbathing on the window seat in the living-room. “What do you mean?” I inquired. “I mean you are totally dependent on us, you could never make it on your own.” Now that really annoyed me. “You are my pe...

There’s nothing that will make my soul more mellow than a luscious bowl of freshly made green Jell-O. It’s smooth and sweet, magnificent to taste. And there’s no crust, which means there is no waste! Thus every molecule will make me smile as I spoon through the green translucent pile! The perfect cubes demand my soft tongue’s touch. Another reason I love it so much. Jell-O slides down my awaiting throat, gliding on a thin...
