Our First Goodbye
I hugged my mother tightly while she uttered some words with tears in her eyes trying not to make them fall down her rosy cheeks. “And remember, don’t trust anyone. Don’t go near anyone. No one can take care of you now. Even I’m a danger to you.”I snuck a peak at my mom before she closed the capsule. She pressed her hands to the glass and mouthed the words, “Don’t forget about me. I won’t forget about you, honey. I will always love you. Goodbye.”Without me realizing, my throat started aching. I swallowed and watched her disappear as my capsule slid away to a distant place.

Game and Sanctuary
Phase I: Selection So you want to know my story? Its nothing spectacular. Every year they play the game. Every year someone loses. But since you seem set on hearing it … Its amazing how finding the answer to one question no one else ever thought of can change everything. Its amazing what can come of a traffic ticket. I remember when a rolling stop cost a nominal fine. Now it can cost man his life. I loved crime dramas, and court shows, before they evolved. I was sitting around the television with my family. Some of us had received tickets over the course of the previous year. I had failed to h...
