The infinite Treck started for my when I was 19. It always started at different times for everyone. My brother had it at 12 and my dad had it at 38. His was going out to get milk but he must not have been very good because I haven't seen him since. The day that the Treck started for me the sky was a light shade of neon green and the sun shone down, green and beautiful. I looked out at the horizon ...

The long, wailing cries of the quire floated, longingly through the air, as the lead singer bled his words out in a tone, so painfully sad that it seemed unnatural. There simply could be no way that someone could hurt this much, or feel this much of any emotion. The green canopy loomed over the old speaker, as if nature itself was trying to comfort the old song. The green leaves, painted orange in...

John Fisher's first mistake was made before his hike even began. It was made before a step was taken, before a thing was packed, and when the first decision was made. The mistake was the decision to go hiking, even though a snow storm was coming in. It was Alaska in the winter and John knew that it would be cold, but he underestimated the cold's power. He thought that he would be able to survive t...

“What I did wasn’t wrong”

“Or maybe it was but I just don’t care”

“It was what had to be done either way”

Some one has to lie and cheat so that everyone else can be just and free”

“Someone has to fight and hurt so that everyone else can love and heal”

“Someone has to sacrifice themselves or be sacrificed so that everyone they have ever loved can live safely and happily”

“And even if it was the wr...

Who am I to tell me who I am?

Who am I to say that I’m on the wrong place?

Who am I to wonder where I’m going?

Who am I to ask why I’m on this planet?

Who am I to decide where I go?

Who am I to go with the current?

Who am I to tell the world who I should be?

Who am I to make the decisions I make?

Who am I?...

In this world inside my head,

There is not a single impossibility,

I can build a town up from the ground,

Or I can burn the whole world down,

In this world inside my head,

One that I cannot put down on paper,

For fear of loosing it

In this world inside my head,

There is not a single impossibility,

I make the people and watch as the events I put them through unfold,

In this world inside my head,...

When the world is falling down,

We’ll cry together,.

And when the silence crushes us to the ground,

We’ll sing together.

And if an asteroid comes hurtling down,

We’ll die together.

And of the music starts to play,

We’ll dance together.

And if you try to stomp us out,

We’ll fight together.

But down here from the ground.

The idea appears to be sound.

That we aren’t together....

The scenery rushes past me in a blur as I feel the wind in my hair. Maybe that was a tree or a house or a car, I don’t know. The blues of the sky and the greens of the plant life and the red, oranges, and browns of the autumn trees all blurring together as I rush down the mountain at an ungodly speed. I look down and see, hundreds of feet blow me, he tiny dots of the enormous city that I used to l...

We fought over it

We tried to bomb it out of existence

We died

But it still rises again

The world has ended

The people who once cared so much for this thing have long since past

There is nothing left for it to rise to

But it still rises again

Maybe it hasn’t lost hope yet

Maybe it’s waiting for an old friend, long dead

Or maybe it’s just coming to say that it can

to prove that it isn’t dead yet...

The year is 2035. Tensions between the U.S, China, Russia, and the U.K. are at an all time high. All of these countries have internally resolved to only attack in retaliation. There are 2 people in the U.S. that can fire all of the nuclear weapons at once on a target, Bill Haslam, the president and Mark Tenner, a highly ranked officer in the U.S. Air-force.

Today both keys are set to be handed o...
