    “Turn the gravity back on” he said between heaving and gasping for air.

Expecting being weightless to be an entertaining ride, Alexander was slightly frustrated. He kept… Read more

    Turning the chair -his chair- around Alexander scoped out the bridge of his ship. If he wasn’t dreaming, then he had just been given command and control over the most powerful piece of technology on the planet, and told he had carte blanche. His imagination exploded with thoughts and ideas. He knew that he couldn’t… Read more

    The lighting in the room changed as the three tables lit up. Walking over to the nearest one, Alexander could see what looked like a strange computer interface.

    Leaping from his bed, Alexander was in a panic. At first he thought it was just a dream, but the bloodcurdling noise continued to resonate through the apartment.

    The evening winding down, Alexander grabbed his phone, folded down his futon into a bed and fell into its hard mattress.

    So, someone asked me how my weight loss is going, and I had to hang my head a bit. I am still sitting in the mid-280’s. I thought I would be out of the 280’s by now, but during and after camping, I sort of hit a brick wall both physically and emotionally, and haven’t… Read more

    My cousin, Mark, bought tickets to see Wicked at the NAC, and just this past weekend, I went with him to go see it. I haven’t seen a musical since Phantom of the Opera in high school, and so I had no idea what to expect or if I would like it. I also hadn’t… Read more
