Hello to My Present Life
There we were... Surrounded by trees that were forever flowing within the cool breeze... We stand facing each other with something precious and dear to us in our arms, I remained holding my infant self, while Present was holding a little bear; a bear that resembled Winnie the Pooh... my sister's favorite childhood character.

Cold Waters
Walking the cold barren streets alongside the empty piers in the dead of winter, he stared out into the fog-filled waters. Awe filled his mind as he continued to glance towards the cool calm water reflecting the bright colors of the city behind him. He wasn’t a philosopher, but still he had moments where he contemplated on the world’s state. This time he began to think about the strange fact that much of the water on Earth, or what was left of it, had remained as it had been years before. Others may have pondered upon this idea and had came up with conclusions, but he didn’t want conclusions, he liked the abyss like it was: unknown.

No Time to Love (Chapter Two)
In New York City again. I've been here many times during different decades, as if my body keeps trying to bring me back home, but continues to overshoot it. I know it's the Big Apple because of the telltale markers; car horns, yelling, doors slamming. I'm not sure what the exact date is till I have climbed out a teenaged boys room that I must have appeared in last night before he woke up.

Language of Wonder
Throughout history the question has arisen many times as to what makes us human. What differentiates us from the common ape? Science has shown we share a majority of our DNA with other wild primates. Regardless, Humans have qualities that make us the superior being, both physically and mentally. As humans we have the ability to question and have a fascination for things that don’t solely contribute to our survival. We retain a passion for things of vanity, and a love for knowledge that comes with a thirst to ask why.

The Mighty Minotaur and the Sea Serpent
Once upon a time there was a land filled with creatures both big and small, skinny and fat, short and tall but among all of them reigned the Minotaur. His great body towered above all, his horns thrust into the sky like a pointed crown, his chest was wide like a tree trunk and his arms were like great branches from his torso. The Minotaur truly believed himself to be the greatest creature of them all and he took a home upon the tallest mountain, from there he would look down upon all the creatures below him and bellow “Truly there is no creature greater than I, I am more intelligent than the wisest owl, faster than the tiny birds that flitter from tree to tree, stronger than the oldest oak of the Great Forest. Truly there is no creature on this land greater than I”. Each and every day he would bellow this from his perch upon his mountain letting his strong voice rumble down the mountains, through the trees and over the hills and not one creature dare speak against him for they all agreed he truly was the greatest creature of them all.

The Veteran's Tale
“You ever seen Goblin's sonny?” the grizzled veteran asked, coughing over his pipe as he packed it with tobacco once again. “It ain't like the Sagas, I'll tell you that! They mostly come at night, and you don't see 'em 'til they are almost on you, 'cause they can see in the dark, you see! What you need is some of them Felixiads with you, 'cause those cat men can see in the gloaming almost as good as the greens do. Only you ain't no Felixad, and you can't see 'em coming. You hear 'em well enough, though, hammering them kettle drums like the heralds of doom, the Boom! Boom! Boom! And as the hammerin' gets closer you lose your bladder, believe me, you do!” The old man lit the pipe as the youngster titters, mockingly.
