Monday, July 20th, 4032 A soft flake, dancing in the breeze, lands on the scorched planet, only to be disintegrated by the warm touch of Venus’s surface. Suddenly, more begin to fall, filling the burning atmosphere with cool droplets of something unfamiliar. A massacre of this peculiar precipitation melts into the ground, sizzling as they, in seconds, evaporate. Ever since you were young you wanted to be a weather reporter. Everything about the job was appealing, to the appearances on VENUS-TV to the fascination of studying w...

I force myself into a deep calm where I can let my thoughts linger in the silence of the moment. I hear the soft purr of my calico cat that sits on my lap and sprinkles my leggings with tufts of fur. After my mind is clear I grip onto a sense of character. Her lips are a cherry red and her hair is a dirty blond with streaks of pure gold.

Mama had laid out my nice plaid button down shirt and bow tie with black dress pants to slip on for my first day at my new school. The clothes were neatly folded and draped over my dresser. My dresser also has a faded picture of my friends and I on our first day of Kindergarten. I sure do miss all my friends from my other school, but Mama said I w...
“Goodbye,” I whisper as I slowly and reluctantly, loosen my grasp on her stiff body. I can see tears fighting to push past her eyes but she holds them in tight, but I can see the pain in her face, like she is holding back the whole ocean. “Goodbye,” she sniffles back. I feel like a knife has punctured my heart when I hear the agony that is consuming her voice. I too, can feel the ache crawling up my esophagus and rotting in my mouth. A thousand words could not sum up the tormenting voice in my mind, the voice that knows how...
