Dear Cera'M
Dear Cera’M, Welcome to Planet Atopia. You will need to know that the suns are scarce, and the rain is plenty, and the days stretch on.Don’t get me wrong-- It’s not an altogether horrible place. Makali and Pakali cared for me as a child, I went to school, and we’re building a great civilization. You won’t see the civilization. It’s in the cities, not where we are, between the wispy trees.I www.onedoor.ccnever knew much of our history. I’d heard that we came from a faraway place and decided to start over.

The Mountain Secret
My secret was something I hoped would never be openly revealed. It was amazing. Flying freely through the skies. The wind whisking through my body. Only at night did I emerge and fly through the vast world. At first it was scary. I feared myself when I discovered what had been done to me. It was a terrible event. One that still haunted me to this day. I was one of many. A child taken from their parents. Dragged to a facility of unknown location. Tests were performed daily. Everything from academics to mental strength in the face of adversary. We were taught many things. As a child nearing his ...
