Fair Winds
The crisp salty air flows like a magical dance with the ocean. The sight is the perfect marriage to the well-known pirate; Captain Jonathan H. Steele. He stands before the bowsprit of his ship, “The Cutthroat,” looking out to the distance. He feels that cool breeze flow through his thick, black, shoulder-length hair while his tricorne hat nestles snuggly on his head. His suntanned harsh-looking face shows the exposure of the sun while his sea-blue eyes tell many-a-tale of his great adventures. But nothing is bigger to the latest adventure he is about to embark on.

This was the trial.
There it was, the ship from my youth. Off in the distance sailing north towards what we thought was the right passage to Arcadia. The home of wits and brawn. They said Arcadia holds greater power than Kings Archipelago. I don’t believe them. You see Arcadia was the known myth around the chain of islands; you not from KA if you never heard the tale of Arcadia. Wait, you never heard the tale? Well, I guess we got some time before I tell y’all what it’s like.

Honeymoon Horror
“You stupid bitch!” I hear the slap across my face even before I feel the horrid sting of his touch. He turned and stormed out of the penthouse as I ran up the stairs to the loft. Curling up in a small, tight ball on the bed I feel the hot tears trying to drown me. I gasp for breath between my cries so hard that my ab muscles begin to cramp. Breathing is even more difficult as I try to stifle the movements.

Dark secrets of deep sea
Over two thirds of the Earth's surface is beneath the sea, yet 95% of it stays neglected to the natural eye. Albeit the frequently heard measurement is that we find out about the outside of Mars than we do about the sea seabed, researchers have had the option to plan the whole sea floor yet the goal is amazingly poor, so we can just imagine highlights bigger than three miles. Continuous exploration like Seabed 2030 expects to bring the sea depths into more prominent center, so we can more readily see and comprehend what's truly down there. For the time being, we can simply wonder about the most shocking remote ocean sights on the planet.

Tales On The Fly
The creeping greenery slowly--methodically--closes in on the lonely stone. For years they have held their positions, neither showing their cards or looming intentions. With all the chaos of the surrounding wood providing endless opportunities for advancement in distraction, none have shown the slightest hint of making good on it. They have only held to their own steadfast movements and machinations, giving no hint of their desires to the wide-eyed sychophants that surround them.

COUGAR ATTACKS SMALL BOY
It’s the middle of a hot summer and the year is 1985. I’m 44 years old and I must have been having a midlife crisis or maybe I was just drunk the evening my friend John Stalzer dropped by with a case of beer. Nothing abnormal about that since it was quite typical. However, I have no inkling, not one iota of an idea how he came up with the brilliant idea of hiking the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island, BC, and he was serious about this endeavour.

Wake up, Lavender!
The sun was high, and the seagulls soared through the air without a care in the world. “The sand feels so amazing on my toes”, the woman thought, “like cozy socks, and the breeze from the ocean is so warm. As she indulged in that moment of bliss her lips parted, “mmm, it’s almost erotic. I should sit and take it all in, I wish I had a blanket. No matter.” She finds a spot on the beach and sits, then lays on her back and rests her hands on the point between her sunflower yellow bikini top and bottom. “Oh my goodness, I could stay here forever.”

Hard Choices
I let a coin decide my fate this morning. Tossing it in the air willing it to land on the side that would make my life even a little bit brighter. Heads or tails, one of these faces would tell me to either put my two week’s notice in at work or eat shit and continue my miserable life as an office worker. I graduated college 3 years ago and I swear I’ve been living the same day ever since, I wake up each day with less motivation than the last. The work day passes with my eyes burned from too much screen time and my back tight from being stationary for eight hours a day. I work to survive, yet it is work that makes me no longer care to live at all.
