September 26, 2018-Central Africa-Late Evening “Shhhhh, Doctor there is no need to shout. I don’t think we need to alert the terrorists to our exact position. Let’s make them work for it. ” An unfamiliar voice made Hayden jump a little. Wait, not an unfamiliar voice. A familiar voice but in a language he was unfamiliar hearing it speak.

To confirm that she hadn’t imagined Shane, that the butterfly woman hadn’t disappeared. That her dream hadn’t fluttered away from reality on yellow wings. The sudden thought filled KP with such fear that she f...

A Walk Around the Block By: Sammie Jeane Going on a walk on Christmas in a snow storm wasn’t the smartest decision Shane had ever made, but she had to move or she was going to go insane. She could feel the pressure building in her chest, the antsy feeling making her shoulders twitch. So she bundled up in walking boots, a parka and a sparkly purple beanie, a gift from her Aunt.
