In my dreams, they were hideous. They had sharp fangs and piercing eyes, dripping with blood all the time. Except I was not able to dream. I’m an AI, helping humans destroy the aliens that invaded Earth. Humans told stories about what the aliens were like in their dreams. The ones that were able to see what they looked like and live to tell about it. The war was unlike any other war in history. The aliens attacked while humans dream. It was a bit disturbing to watch the humans die one by one in their sleep. A few were able to wake up as i...

The sun is sinking into an endless beautiful blue abyss. On a spontaneous whim, I am visiting the same spot Peter and I went when he was sick. The beach wanes down with tourists and I am sitting on a bed of rocks, thinking about the last time I spent with my husband, Peter. All my regrets were starting to overwhelm my thoughts. I have so many and wish I could take them all back. I start to cry. It’s been a hard year. To be honest, I can’t remember the last time I was truly happy. From the side of my view, I see a stranger lingering around m...

Dear Daisy, You fell to the floor. I was so scared. Your friends were so scared. Some people stopped to help you but others continued dancing. Luckily, someone started performing CPR on you. What took seconds felt like an eternity for you to wake up. When you did, the pupils in your eyes were so wide and big. I didn’t recognize the girl in front of me. But then, without warning, you stood up and started dancing as if nothing had happened. And so did everyone else. It was the first night of Spring Break and you and ...

It was October 13, I fell asleep during a full moon. Suddenly, I was soaring above an endless green forest, with the brightest hue of blue wings that shimmered in the sunlight. I flew distances, feeling free but then the moon started to align in between Earth and the Sun.From afar, I saw blue and red sirens and heard a prayer.“I need help,” the girl cried to no one and everyone. With a sound of thunder, I woke up from my dream, inside a jail cell, with a girl.“What in the world?!” I shouted. The girl groggily opened her eyes and st...

I was born on May, 16 2099. The same day a white buffalo calf was born as well. A white buffalo is extremely rare. Now if that isn’t odd already, a lunar eclipse occurred that day. That’s not the mind blowing part, get ready for this … the moment the Moon aligned in between Earth and the Sun, was the exact time of our births. What are the chances? All of our food sources are genetically cloned in a lab to end starvation around the world. However, a white buffalo was never encoded into the stem cell of that species, so how a WH...

To the Keeper of my thoughts, Do you know a dragonfly is extremely unique? Their four wings, working independently from each other, allow them to fly in any direction they please. Their compound, telescopic eyes enable them to view the world in a 360 degree vision. Ironically, the only blind spot is directly behind them. Hot diggity darn, I wished me a dragonfly. I never knew words could comfort me like a cozy luxe blanket until I found your diary, secretly tucked inside a birdhouse. You see, my dad asked me to clean it out, shortly afte...
