Valentine's Dates Over the Years
Colin grinned as Brooklyn slipped into the living room. “Is it all set?” he asked. The twenty-one year old grinned. She was in her last year of college and Colin knew that Lincoln was proud of her. Although she had been away at college, she’d eagerly helped Colin plan his surprise for Lincoln. “I’m so glad you’re finally doing this,” she said.

The Cave Part 6
If you have ever heard a tale about yourself that you cannot remember and doubtless think is made up, you will know how I felt when Tharkin related all that the eagle had seen of me before my memories were scattered. Of far distances and traveling companions that I did not recall, camping out under the stars and making our way to the mountains with deliberate purpose. The great bird had lost contact with my party once we entered the forests, and the seven other members were not seen again by him or his brethren since.

The Guardian Chapter V
Alexander left his Coming of Age ceremony with Cronos and the elders with as many new questions as he had answers for his old questions. Cronos had confirmed his suspicions were correct. Not only was there a link between the Beast Masters and the inhabitants of the Citadel, but it was the Citadel's fault that the Beast Masters existed in the first place. Instead of banishing the law breakers which allowed them to wreak havoc on the rest of humanity, the Citadel elders should have stripped them of their powers before they became too strong. Now Alexander would need to battle the Beast Masters and the Jikininki. It would be difficult for him to forgive the Citadel Elders because their poor decisions led to the deaths of his parents and more than half the planet's human population.

The Sound of a Ticking Heart
Before everything changed, our life was simple in the best kind of way. My husband Mark was the kind of person who filled a room without even trying. He was loud, funny, endlessly talkative, and somehow the most caring person I had ever known. He loved people—even if he pretended he didn’t. Anyone who met him walked away feeling like they had known him forever. But the two people he loved most in this world were our son Logan and me. Mark had struggled earlier in life. Addiction had nearly taken everything from him once, but by the time we met he had been sober for more than ten years. He carried that past with humility, but it also shaped the man he became. He never believed he would be a husband or a father. Then somehow we found each other, and everything changed. Within six months we were engaged. Not long after that, we had Logan. We got married, bought a house, and built the kind of life Mark once believed he would never have. He was an executive chef in Boston, and cooking was his passion. After long days running entire culinary departments at major colleges, he would still come home and cook dinner for us. Food was his love language. Some of the meals he made are things I know I will never taste again. But what meant the most to him was being a father. No matter how tired he was, he always made time for Logan. They rode bikes, played basketball, talked for hours before bed, and cooked together in the kitchen. Some nights I would have to walk into Logan’s room and tell them both they needed to stop talking and go to sleep because it was already so late. Mark always called Logan his best friend. And the truth was, they really were. We built a quiet, happy life together. In 2016 we bought our house in the suburbs with a huge backyard. We had our dog Frankie, family vacations every year in New Hampshire, and summers spent swimming in mountain streams that were far too cold for me but perfect for Mark. He loved Christmas more than anyone I’ve ever known. Every year we decorated the house like something out of a movie because it made him so happy. Our dreams weren’t complicated. We just wanted to raise our son, go to his basketball and baseball games, take him to Disney someday, and maybe—one day—be grandparents watching Logan raise kids of his own. It was the kind of life people spend years hoping to build. And for a while, we were living it. Then in 2022 everything changed. Mark had burned his arm badly at work months earlier. At first it didn’t seem like anything serious. But eventually he started feeling sick and went to the hospital. That’s when doctors discovered something terrifying. A bacterial infection had entered his bloodstream and attached itself to one of the valves in his heart. The infection was severe enough that he needed open-heart surgery to replace the valve. He was only forty-one years old. The surgery saved his life. The doctors replaced his valve with a mechanical one, and it made a sound none of us expected. It ticked. Like a clock. It was so loud that nurses and doctors would actually comment on it when they came into the room. At first it felt strange hearing your husband’s heart sound like time itself was ticking inside his chest. But eventually we got used to it. It became part of life. And for almost two years after that surgery, life felt normal again. Mark went back to work. Logan went back to school. We settled into our routines. We thought the worst was behind us. We had no idea how wrong we were.

Life will find a way
One cocoon twitches; my screaming must have disturbed it. It’s followed by a sound like the shaking of a cobra’s tail. A dry rattle sends a shiver down my spine. The rest of the cocoons respond the same way, as if communicating with one another; the cave fills with rattling. The glow becomes stronger as they vibrate and bathes the cave floor in an eerie blue light.

The Strawberry Chapter 8
The Strawberry Chapter 8 The seeds of laughter and Example by Katherine Aguilar Writing this particular chapter is a weave of colors that honestly can go in various directions. However, the reader reads it. I at no time condone violence or words of a derogatory nature. If that is the only way a person can express themselves. There needs to be some self-evaluation.
