In the midst of the night a ninja bear sneaked past the shadow guards that stood at the doors of the throneroom. The vast room held only the seat of the Queen and prisons at the walls. He approached the sleeping Queen on all fours, and went behind her, to get a piece of her hair.

Elena joined her parents in their small apartment for the reading of Great- Great- Great grandpa Tom’s will. She had enjoyed corresponding with him in secret codes. Now that he was gone, it was unlikely she would ever need to write in code ever again.

Jant walks into the antique store in the hopes he would finally find it: the perfect anniversary gift. Their relationship was one based on tradition.

The two larger suits grabbed the disheveled man by each arm and shoved him forward. He fell to the pavement with ease. The third suit stepped over to the man’s side and proceeded to get down on one knee. He slowly brought his face to the man’s ear.

“You know you’re fucked. We know you’ve got one.”

No one knew what to make of the carefully arranged colors applied to the wall in the Institution’s common area. A crowd of students had gathered around it, but no one had yet summoned the courage to get close. I walked carefully past the silent witnesses. Each person was dressed as I was- in our institute-issued gray. Without prompting, they moved aside to allow me a better look. As I did, every ...
