Leo and Orion were getting married. Rather, they were soon to be joined together as willing life partners at a traditional ceremony, in the presence of both of their families. You and I might say that sounds like a wedding, but these words have long been forgotten by the time of Leo and Orion. The need for them slowly but surely died out, around the same time that ERT (Emotional Regulation Technology) started to become more sophisticated and effective. So effective it was, that not only were certain words forgotten, but entire emotions altog...

There is a certain type of peace to be found at night, when one is outdoors with only the sounds of nature. While everyone else sleeps, recharging their bodies and minds for the coming day, I sit and try to find this peace, and I contemplate how the world all fits together.

But sometimes wishes can come true, and not always in the manner of which they were initially conceived. A thing like this happened to me once. It was the single most strange and unexplainab...

It was a rather horrible day. It was raining, but it wasn’t one of those nice rainy days, where the rain fell almost like a mist and made the plants and flowers happy. Where the clouds would eventually part to let the warm sun create a rainbow that reflected on the wet leaves and grass. No. It was a horrible rainy day, where the raindrops were large and heavy and battered the flowers, and hammered upon the old wooden rooftops to the point where one couldn’t even hear the rumbling thunder that was equally as loud. The water quickly overflowed...
