I’ve been saving up for almost an entire year. Now the day has finally come, I can travel again. I got my ticket about a month ago, but haven’t planned much more yet. Just a hotel for the first few nights and from there I’ll add where the adventure will take me. I hope to go on a long road trip again and meet more friendly people of which this world is full of. Work, save, travel and repeat. That’...

Tomorrow! Mom told us a month ago that the Grand Canyon trip was happening. At first, it felt wrong. But now I see that she knows what she is doing. You’re right. She’s brave.

And now the day is here. It feels surreal. I keep thinking that I am forgetting something, but it’s probably just because you’re not going with us. You know that’s totally unfair, right? This whole thing was your idea. Your...

**Leora- **

Leora didn’t need to see to know she was falling. She had her eyes pressed closed so hard that it hurt. She could feel the wind rushing around her. She could feel the ocean approaching, and with that comes their inescapable death.

Then, at the last second, the wind changed. It was lifting them up instead of racing around them. She could feel it under her feet, pulling her to where i...

Light filtering in through curtains that sway in the breeze

The low rumble of cars outside our window

I turn in bed and my hand finds your chest

Steady breathing still in the rhythm of sleep

The room is bright, artwork hanging on the walls of all the places we’ve been while we were apart

And promises of a life to come together

Of never saying goodbye

I tuck my head into your shoulder, breathing in...

You cross your fingers as you unlock the mail box on the first floor of your apartment building. Today is day number sixty three of this ritual, but this is something you have been waiting a life time for. Since the very first time you wrote your name. Of course year parents gave you a complicated name so it took several more months than some of your peers to learn how to spell it correctly. Back ...

I've been waiting. That doesn't mean I'm ready, though, because when it comes to opening the car door suddenly my fingers become flimsy and uncontrollable. It's like my knuckles have lost their ability to move and my heart has gained that ability to sprint by a hundred times. It's worsened to the point I wouldn't be surprised if someone could hear my heart beat from a mile away.

"Maddie, you have...

“The day you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived; you have beaten me. Are you satisfied?”

I looked upon his bloodied face, mangled hands, red-white teeth, and just sighed. I stepped back, the grotesque squelch beneath my feet was like music to my ears, “Yes. Yes, I am.”

“Behind you is a trail of blood and fire and anguish,” he began, coughing up whatever life he had left.

“Yeah, tends to ha...

We finally arrive at the bunker and Leo immediately heads to a desk in the corner. I’m looking around and I’m mesmerized by all of creations and blueprints and designs all over the room.

“Jas, come over here. I have something to show you.”

I walk over to where he is and I look at the desk. It’s a blueprint design of a set of new defenses and weapons they are creating. One labeled “Leo’s design” w...
