Breaking Horizon
Chapter 1: The Last Horizon Elliot McKenna was not, by any standard measure, a hero. He was a gruff and wrinkled man of 58, with hair receding faster than the glaciers he had once studied. An atmospheric scientist by training and an adventurer by compulsion, Elliot had spent the better years of his youth traveling to the Earth’s most uninhabitable zones. Now, confined to a chair in his drafty Boston apartment, he was left only with the company of his regrets and an old ham radio that crackled more than it spoke.

The Living Arc Angels Part 2. Content Warning.
(TYLER’S POINT OF VIEW) In the alley behind the Italian restaurant a white light appeared in swirling circles. Out of it stepped the four living arc angels. I wasn’t sure what that meant, but that was what Thomas had called us. We were once again back on earth. We stood together a moment in silence. Then the silence was broken as Eric yelled, “Whoa! Guess what?” Our attention quickly turned to him with interest not knowing what could have caused such an outburst. He looked back at us a moment and then with obvious embarrassment said, “I’m hungry. I just never thought I’d be hungry again.” A roaring laughter filled the alley. “Well, I would love to taste food again. After all, it’s been 3 years since the last time I ate.” I didn’t wait for anyone else to respond. I held tight to Andrea’s hand and started toward the end of the alley. Eric and Christine quickly followed. Andrea jokingly said, “Maybe that’s why they brought us back behind an Italian restaurant.” Once again we all shared in much needed laughter as we rounded the corner and headed toward the side door. Then after several more steps we were walking through the door, stopping just behind the register and waiting to be seated. Promptly, a waitress came up and asks us where we would like to sit. Christine said, “it doesn’t matter… we’re just glad to be here.” The waitress looked a little baffled by the reply but still grabbed a few menus and then headed off to show us to a seat. Eagerly we followed her toward the front of the restaurant. Finally the waitress stopped in front of a table that rested against the windows that made up the front wall. From here you could see the cars moving back and forth on the road that ran adjacent to the front of the establishment. To most this would have been an annoyance, however it had been a little while since any of us had seen any roads even with out any cars to be on them, so it was a new wonder to rediscover to us. So happily we sat down. Andrea slid into the booth on the left side and I slid in after her, and Christine slid into the booth on the right side followed by Eric.

The Genetic Fossils Hidden in Our DNA
Introduction In 1972, geneticist Susumu Ohno made an insightful observation: "The earth is strewn with fossil remains of extinct species; is it a wonder that our genome too is filled with the remains of extinct genes?" Little did he know that he was uncovering a fascinating aspect of our genetic heritage. Inside our genomes, we carry molecular fossils - fragments of DNA that have become non-functional over time. One such pseudogene, GULOP, found on the 8th chromosome, once played a vital role in our primate ancestors' ability to produce vitamin C. However, around 61 million years ago, a mutation turned GULOP into a pseudogene, a non-functional relic. This genetic transformation marked a crucial moment in our evolutionary journey, and it was not the last.
