Black Gold
I’m a dreamer. I always wanted to investigate a rainbow and make it answer for its evasiveness. I once took my jeep to chase a rainbow, eating dry lucky charms the whole way with a determined glint in my eye. “Damn leprechauns ruining everything for the rest of us…”

“HEAVEN SAYS”
In the land of Astraladia, where dreams danced on moonbeams and stars whispered ancient secrets, a humble farm boy gazed at the night sky with wide-eyed wonder. A shooting star streaked across the heavens. The boy heard a faint, ethereal voice beckoning him to follow the star.

The Creature Beneath the Waves
Decades on the sea had aged the old Captain far more than his actual years. Perhaps if he had taken a job on land it would’t be like this. Except the sea called to him, more importantly the creature beneath the waves would not let him leave.

Of Cats and Shrooms
There is a fungus in the Amazon that changes an ant’s entire personality—before it forces the creature to go rigid and then sends its fruiting body through the paralyzed ant’s head.

Bear Witness: Part III
After a few months, Crisp's cubs became healthier. However, the house we were staying in was getting crowded. "We need to find a new place," I told the woman. She shook her head. "It's too dangerous. The witch may be dead, but the hunters could still be out there."

Goran the Gregarious
People always told Goran he’s superfluously energetic and that his personality was too big… Today, he’s no longer Goran… He’s Goran the Gregarious. And he’s about to show his worth on his first day as job a door to door salesman exactly how a big personality breaks down doors!

I’ll see you
In evenings like this I think of her. In evenings like this I feel suffocated with thoughts of her departure. After 146 days of floating in space on my own, I still cannot shake the bitter farewell playing a torturous loop in my head.

We Love ChatGPT (except for the Plot Holes)
Eli Wilkins, this is our man. He's said to clean at the hospital on Mondays and Thursdays from 8pm to 11pm. He was described by his neighbor as " curved" and "alive". We suspect he may have wandered out of the security perimeter. He was last seen November 24 just before midnight

Time is of the essence
My grandparents hate me on both sides of my family I don’t know why. I’m going to find out though. If only I could time travel into the past and find out why. My parents split up for whatever reason and now I want to know more. I’m in college as well and the name is Liliana.

This is fine.
Yesterday I was falling from the sky. Problem was, I forgot how I had gotten there. I looked around for a plane or skydivers…there was empty sky. I felt for a parachute and only felt the back of my shirt. I started to scream and suddenly heard people start to giggle around me.
