Adventures of Kadence
It was a beautiful summer morning. As the Cul de sac slept on, the red orange streams of sunlight made last night’s dew steam off the blades of the freshly mown lawns. Everything was quiet, almost too quiet, when all of a sudden a blood curdling scream caused birds resting lazily in a nearby tree to scatter in panicked spats. “Kadence!” the sound of her name in such a frantic tone ripped Kadence from her peaceful dreams. Jumping from her bed, she tried desperately to locate the cause of the scream.

Seconds to Milliseconds
The deafening grind of the propellers split our ears like a rusty bike spoke. Death was upon us! Bouncing around in our seats like puppets, out popped little golden emergency mouth pieces dangling from the ceiling of the plane. Presumably, three rolls down, and two seats to the left a woman sat struggling viciously with her life vest. Mass hysteria painted on her face like distorted make-up she held her belly tight. Her round belly refused to be strapped in. A pool of water collected in her eyes an streamed down her cheeks as her husband forced the vest closed. “Is she pregnant?”, a passenger asked. His teeth chattering loudly as he murmured, “She’s due any day”, you could sense the worry in his tone.

The Implications of True Belief
This is not the first article ever written on the subject of free will. Whether in relation to God or Government, or both, it seems that most people have had concerns about whether they were truly free, and the implications of their answer to that question.

The Road To Autumn
Long winding roads, leaves of oranges, yellows, and red full of amber and maroon. Tires speed down the blacktop roads, streaks of white and yellow whizzing by in a blurry daze. The foggy sky full of blackened clouds lifts only for a moment to allow a touch of sunlight to hit his face through the windshield of the car. Driving along with the radio on a low volume he hums along while thinking of her. His Autumn, the woman who's name still brings a smile to his face and fills his heart with joy even after all of these years. The saying is true: It is better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all. Well this is his loved and lost story. It has been many moons since he last thought of Autumn. Her silky auburn hair, her vibrant smile as it shows her pearly white teeth, and her gorgeous ocean blue eyes. When he looked into them he would feel as if he was swimming in the deepest waters, floating into eternity, and as if he was as light as a feather before it falls gently to the ground.

Teach Me / The Dance
Teach Me We live in a time where racial tensions are, but we only hear about the white and black conflicts and ignore that race indifference is in every country. Teach is a short story I use a writing software, so this is not how the formatting would look, but this is the complete story.

Londyn Bridges
I may not be a mother, but I think all of us females can agree that childbirth is not an enjoyable experience. Worth it in the end? Maybe. I'm joking. Of course it's worth it in the end. Honestly, it's an amazing phenomenon and I can’t even begin to imagine the sheer pain of forcing an eight-pound.... well you get the point. On the day that I was born, my mom truly thought that was the most pain she would ever experience in her life. That was, unless she became pregnant again, she became physically injured, or she became terrified of her own daughter. Coincidentally, one of her nightmares came true, but that’s a story that we’ll come back to later. First, it’s important to understand the events leading up to the present day.

Short Fiction: Upgrade
With hindsight, the early days of the relationship was the best time. Always in each other’s company, the constant touching and exploring. Being the main focus of your love’s attention is a wonderful feeling. She would hold me, stroke me and gaze at me. I felt special, like it was her and me against the world. I even tried to communicate with her, sending a message of love, but she didn’t recognise the number and got a bit freaked out. I didn’t try again.

Colors
His name was Azure. He was named after his eyes, for when he first opened them they were the most vibrant shade of blue ever seen on a child. People used to crowd around his crib chattering and chittering like birds; they would foolishly exclaim that they put the sky to shame even on its bluest day. He was often found sitting in solitude, mostly in places where he could watch the world bend and break underneath the pressure of man’s weight. In school, he always sat by the window, regardless of the seat his teacher’s assigned. His classmates would watch him in awe, whispering to each other that if one looked close enough they could watch his thoughts form underneath the mop of mahogany that grew on his head and then marvel as the thoughts danced out of his ears. On days that had peculiarly fluffy clouds, they would say that they were full of Azure’s thoughts. People adored his laidback personality, one felt calm when they were by his side. If someone were to interrupt his thoughts, he would greet them with a friendly smile. Outwardly, he was as calm as the surface of a river on a windless day, but he held so many emotions inside of his ever-thoughtful mind. Such emotions remained secure within his person until he met her: his sun and moon.

Jesus Loves Me, Part I
I grew up in a Christian household. A pastor's household. Wait, no. A household of pastors. Yep, plural. Both of my parents are ordained ministers in a church that I will not name. You may already be grimacing. Don't worry, this story is not about parental abuse in the name of Jesus. My parents are beautiful people who would never hurt anyone.

Should "Friend Marriages" Be a Thing?
It was really just a joke. I was chatting to a couple of single girlfriends about our love lives (or lack thereof) and the plight of single women in their 30s who want to have kids but aren’t ready to give up on romance and just settle down with a convenient person in order to build a family.
