  “See you tomorrow, Shannon!” My red-head classmate Kay waves at me goodbye.“Yeah! See you!” I reply.I smile and wave back as we go our separate ways from the community college we attend to in Beauty City, Rhode Island. I tuck my short light brown hair behind my ears. I then plug the earphones to my ears to listen to my favorite metal band on my IPod to not get bored while I walk toward home. My family’s home is just a couple miles away.I look around as my f

• Arousal   Sava & Van

  I stare at Professor Van Noble in a dreamy way. My face rests on my palm with my elbow resting on my armchair, half-listening to his discussion. Right now, he is talking about the mining of the Moon, which has started in the 2020s. “As you all know, we use the gas helium-3, which is mined from the Moon, for fueling nuclear fusion power plants, space stations…” his baritone voice says.Professor Noble is in his early thirties. Give or take, with my twenty years of age, he’s like ten, twelve or fifteen years older than me. I can’t really tell. He doesn’t look his age at all. He has curly light brown hair that is a bit long, light blue eyes, prominent-looking nose, well-sculpted eyebrows, high cheekbones, slightly divided chin and reddish lips. He is tall, lean, well-built, tanned, neat and always smells nice. He loves the outdoor, as I’ve heard. He loves sports under the Sun and he’s very single. I love this last part. I have mostly

  I listen to a song by one of my favorite rock bands, Linkin Park, on my earphones as I jog around the park, which is near my neighborhood. The earphones are connected to an IPod that’s inside my sweater pocket. My sweater is paired with jogging pants of the same color. Gray.Seattle, Washington, is a new place for me but I already feel at home after a month since I moved in. I’ve inherited this new home from my spinster Aunt Marie, who left it in my name before she died three months ago. It’s a peaceful environment. Maybe it is because of the usually huge houses around, which are owned by rich and powerful people.I’ve managed to find a job at downtown area as a veterinary assistant before I informed my mom that I’d move to Seattle, after learning that I inherited the house. My mom has been worried about me since our home is originally in Ohio, so far away from Washington. However, I’ve managed to console her I’d keep in touch every week and in between, if she wan

• Arousal   Emma & Bryq'ent

  It’s just any other ordinary day… or rather, night. Or so, I think until a few hours later. I am walking on the sidewalk when my mother who’s staying at home in Jackson, Mississippi, rings to talk to me.“Hi, Mom. Yes, I’m on my way to my apartment right now. Don’t worry. Chicago is not that bad. I’m always safe even though I walk home every night. It’s not too far away from the restaurant. Just a couple blocks away, you know that.” I try to assure her as I glance at my wristwatch. It’s already eleven-thirty in the evening.We usually close at two in the morning at the restaurant but my shift is over at eleven. Another chef takes over from then on. But I’ve had some things to finish up before I left. So, I’m a bit late at going home tonight than usual.“There are bad people everywhere, Emma. Remember that. You just have to be always alert. Okay? All the time!” my Mom nags.I look at a drunk driver that is currently being arrested by the police.“Yeah. Y

  I pull down the black baseball cap I’m wearing as I sit on the bleacher next to my best friend, Irina, in the hope of hiding my face. My light brown hair cascades my back and the side of my face. From where we are seated, we can clearly see the All-Star Team Sweden’s goalie, who wears some complete ass-kicking special goaltending equipment to protect the net. It is different from his teammates’ as it especially helps in stopping the hockey puck from getting into the crease.Irina turns to look at me with a frown on her pretty face. “You’re late!” She flips her short blond hair and turns to look into the rink. The game is still on.“Sorry,” I quietly apologize.I’ve just arrived at the hotel an hour ago after a press conference and I slip away as fast as I can, without my figure skating coach noticing, just to watch the Hockey World Cup with my friend in St. Petersburg’s Ice Palace. It is the Team U.S. against Team Sweden at the mome

  I slowly open my eyes and I grunt in pain. I look around, finding the wreckage, which is all that’s left of my mini-spaceship. I can still remember that our mother ship has been attacked by the Leroians—our species’ enemy. The last thing I remember is that our mother ship is blown into several pieces while my fellow warriors and I have boarded our own mini-spaceships just in time to escape. However, a Leroian ship has got to me, and now I am not even sure where I am in the universe when I’ve tried to warp my blazing ship just to survive.I crawl away from the wreck and lie on my back, breathless. I push a button on my suit and I gasp some air, feeling the broken bones and wounds being treated. I lie down for several minutes until my body is fully healed.All I can see around me are trees—a lot of it. The leaves are thick and so green but of different sizes and shapes. I turn on my rero, an AI device that’s wrapped around my wrist, and check my coordinates.
