One Seed

---------------------------------------------------------------- "Right here?" She brushed her hair out of her face. Her face was youthful and ecstatic, and her voice was bright and lovely. "It's perfect." He smiled at her. The placement of the seed was perfect. It was a symbol of their future together. She laughed, simply out of pure joy. He kissed her, placing his hand on her stomach.

The wind brushed against my cheek as I looked at the people I would never see again."We can always call, right?"

It isn't goodbye...it won't ever be, because a part of us will always be here, inside this box."Alissa smiled and Alian scoffed."We'll be here forever...in this time capsule."I gave them a last wave a...
