Panic surging. Spaceship damaged. Power waning. Oxygen depleting. Time wasted. Crew desperate. Heroics lost. Earth unreachable. Frantic repairs. Signal weak. Feedback blurted. Transmission sent. Stars mocking. Mind slipping. Silence deafening. Hope waning. Seconds matter. Faint blip. Garbled response. Coordinates shared. Rescue imminent. The doubt. The wait. No words. A breath.

A Love Forboding
The chipped stone slope caused unbearable footing. I slid, skirting on my heels. I cast my shield, relinquishing my guard to stay upright. Left with my double-edge and a prayer to the maker, I skated toward my objective. The earthly stubble gave way to solid ground. I found myself restored, a trail of dust in my wake.

CNA's
What is a CNA? A Certified Nursing Assistant is the official name. A CNA is not someone who is a glorified butt-wiper as they say. A CNA is someone who cares for you or your loved ones. Yes, they do wipe butts, but the list is so extensively more. They are someone who becomes family because they are with you most days. They listen to your stories and hold you through your tears. A CNA gets you up every morning with a smile on their face even though they may be having a challenging time themselves. They help you to make your hair into that perfect french braid you love so much. That CNA will trim your beard or shave your face. They will shower you with precision, wash everything even in between the toes, and will lotion you everywhere, but not between the toes. They will help feed you even when you cannot hold spoons and forks properly anymore. They will help you walk because you are now unsteady on your feet. A CNA will be able to tell you your favorite game show, football team, or even that you will not eat any food if it is touching. They will check you when you are incontinent with urine or BM and you have to wear depends to protect you. They will notice when you start to develop bed sores or a rash. You will have to take vitals which usually consist of temperature, blood pressure, O2 (oxygen), respirations (breathing), HR (heart rate), and the map of the blood pressure for the hospital.
