The Lost Locket!
Traveling through time and space for centuries could not explain your destiny. After landing my air craft in the year of 2897 I couldn't ever image finding the world in so much rubble. People walking on air and people having parties where houses don't even touch the ground. Babies only living in their mother's womb for only 14 days. After 14 days they are fully developed and ready to be birthed out. Growing rapidly, your children become fully grown in 1 year.

The Day The World Came To An End
The afternoon of the day before yesterday, at about 3.30 in the afternoon, I heard the sound of a helicopter above my house. Then I heard another, and another, and another.....there were six in total flying around in big circles over a period of two hours on the East side of Tokyo. I was curious to say the least and could only presume that it was perhaps something to do with the Olympics. Oh that it was, oh that it was.

The Flower Girl
Ikebana. The Japanese always seem to have it all together, don't they? For thousands of years they've been ahead of us, at least when it comes to creating Zen in their lives. Ikebana, is the Japanese art of flower arranging that began developing in the 15th century. While it did take several centuries to become a mainstay in the culture, today, it is seen as a form of therapy, allowing one to change their mood by "influencing the ambiance in their space" through floral design. Basically, it's a simple exercise in appreciation and developing an ability to notice the miraculous beauty and balance of Mother Nature; a quality that always seems to be overlooked by the majority of people racing through life at the texting speed of their thumbs.

She Was Once
The click of the clasp may as well have been a rifle blast. There was nothing but smoke and ashes, tired rubble, shafted sunlight through the billowing columns - and silence. He stood at the edge of what may have once been a city. For some reason, he sensed he had once known its inhabitants - one inhabitant in particular, of whom he could almost picture delicate features, a mess of auburn hair…

Without You
Without You Darkness fell over the great forest, laid in ruins and covered in soot. A giant moon hung above the trees, the stars all but blanketed in a permanent black fog. On a Thursday, nearly a year earlier, Earth was pulled out of orbit into a judder. Violent solar flares ignited the surface and fossil fuel reserves burst into the clouds. Whole cities toppled over as land heaved up and organisms below the water perished as rivers ran dry and oceans evaporated. Out of the few who made it underground, a scanter lot lived beyond a few months, having neglected to relocate near an aquifer.

She Smelled Like Lilacs
Mankind had ignored the wakeup call of the Covid virus and worldwide drought. Then came 2033 when half the world’s population perished to extreme drought, weather and disease. Many who had survived, violently lost their lives in the nuclear war that followed as world leaders vied for supremacy and control of shrinking resources. Those with the ability to influence change, chose instead to prefer profit over hope for a future for their children and grandchildren.
