I stare at the things in red suits that scan my ship. “Alien or Human?” I murmur.

“Well it seems that they’re humanoid. So we know that much.” A voice says from the side of me, Sighing.

“Yes, yes I know Mark.”

Trudging along through my ship, Screams pierce through the air, coming from outside.

“Wait, a minute…I don’t know anyone named Mark” My minds eye realizes.

“Crap.” A rather large weight ...

Astral Infinince

Tenshi

I can see them,

the stars in the night sky,

there are so many,

I never know which one to look at.

So I gaze at the entirety of the canvas they’re painted on,

the universe,

the ever-expansive dark,

while I imagine myself,

floating within the stars,

in astral infinince.

——————————————

- I know Infinince is not a word (apparently), but I meshed two words together for this, (infinite; essence). ...

“Ew!”, Emma vocalizes her audible disgust just in case anyone around her was blind and couldn’t see how powerfully her body physically recoiled away from the mass. Her nose scrunched up raising the corners of her lips along with it. Her arms out in front of her torso to protect herself from the horror. Knees bent, ready to take flight on a dime.

“Come on Kathy,” Ethan assures, “Emma’s over exagger...

“When the hell did you find this?!” Eli said, eyes wide.

“Where do you think?” I said smugly.

I grab the bag from him and take out the neatly folded paper and open it wide to show him, and large signature in signed on the top and bottom.

“I can cross this out right now and literally make you the president of New America right now.” I say inching my pen closes the the paper to scare him.

The silence was deafening. The big crash must have sent rarefactions rippling across miles and miles of what seemed like utter emptiness, judging by how long he could hear the sound of the crash replicate over and over and over. At last, at a point that he thought must have existed only in some deep crevice of his consciousness, the sound had just stopped. Now he yearned for it; the oppression of ...

Call me Ishmael-709.

I’ve had enough of this watery planet. The mad Captain Ahab-1216 has chased this electric monster across the galaxy and I’m tired. Just floating here amongst the wreck of the Pequod-2689.

I think about all the numbers attached to names and wonder how those numbers were determined. My mother told me it was to keep all the names separate and unique.
