Adventure
Ellis Island
I've always heard tales of this place. My family doesn't like to talk about it but I've heard the conversations that keep my parents up at night. My mother could never handle more than five minutes of it from my oldest aunt. The people that came through here were never the same after touching down on the soil. It was like their souls were sucked out of them.

Larry the Shark
Two boats ripped across the surface above Larry the shark and his friend, Pierce the needlefish. Always intrigued about the finless, land dwelling, human world, Larry followed the commotion. Gunfire rang out between the boats, and soon a body splashed into the water, blood leaked from several bullet holes. Larry had never eaten a human. It was strictly forbidden by his family, but he was curious, especially when the scent of human blood hit his nostrils. The earthy, metallic scent caused his entire body to scream for the taste of flesh.

The Hat
by: Dennis R. Humphreys Uncle Alfred Turner was the brother of my mother who is now deceased. Both of my parents are deceased. I'm only thirty but they had me when they were older and the combination of aging, world tribulations and most likely raising me, contributed to their deaths a few years ago. I was a hell raiser. I felt abandoned over the years not having family in the area and never finding that right woman to settle down with, I decided there was nothing keeping me in the area, so I went westward to join my uncle who was also not married by choice. The stories my mother told me about him when I was younger may have provided the role model for me inabstentia because he was the biggest hell raiser of them all. He was a cowboy complete with his own six-hundred and forty acre ranch, bought at government auction after the BLM decided to sell off parcels. He raised cattle and a few pigs.
