Her mother named her Athena. How presumptuous could you be about your kid? Being named after a goddess, what a legacy to live up to. At least, that's how this seventeen-year-old felt about it. Graduation was about three months away, and she was still fiddling with her senior project, but not putting too much effort into it.

Clowns are ready to entertain a crowd at the drop of their ringmaster’s hat, and so was budding performer Chester Graves, who's been working and travelling the road from New York down the East Coast of America since he dropped out of high school to be a street performer searching for a troop.

Hi, my name is Skye. I've just turned 24, and I spent the last eight years studying for and devoting my life to a career of internally fixing computers. Besides the job duties being completely monotonous and draining to my soul, it's good work I can pay the bills with and then some, but I never wanted this line of work. Since before I was born, my life has been carefully designed by my father, who passed away a week after my birthday while under hospice care from cancer of the lungs due to a lifetime of smoking those disgusting cigarettes.
