Is It Too Late?
Eli glanced around the empty helicopter before dropping his head into his hands. He hoped more of his friends would attend the Society meeting this year. They needed to work together right now. But it appeared they had given up. He traveled alone. He placed a hand on the seat beside him as his eyes welled up. Marquesa didn't give up. She died three months ago, before her 90th birthday. When news of her illness reached him, he dropped everything and raced to Italy. A few weeks after her death, devastating fires ravaged half of Milan, including her home and her legacy. Earth's destruction had be...
Free Ride
"So, what's the catch?"The sign said "Free Passage to Earth!" I had to admit that I had never heard that one before. I'd seen lots of signs near the port saying things like "Cheap Flights!" and "You cant beat our deals!".

My whole future lies before me/you and I can’t wa...
Final Girl
In the end, it comes down to me. I am the one the killer cannot seem to finish. The one that he consistently toys with until she has had enough and finally meets him on his own level of crazy. I am the final girl. Depending on which version you prefer, I may be Jamie Lee Curtis or Heather Langenkamp. I’d rather be Jamie. Forty years and she is still kicking butt. The girl in the movie runs and looks back. As usual, she falls and I yell at the TV. “You idiot... get up. What are you doing? Run?”My phone chimes. It’s a text from my mom. MOM: Don’t fall asleep with the TV on, you know those scary ...
