1 " I woke up finding the world I had known to be gone. Instead, the sky was glowing. I stood up. Nothing had happened to the child, I was as perfectly pregnant as before. The sky seemed to be full of glittering objects floating around, that on further inspection were glowing specs. There were no trees, no buffalo, just endless hills that seem to go on and on. "

2 " I guess it had to do with dating. Every time I gave a new guy a chance, something fell apart. He usually found out how fucked up I was, or made an excuse not to commit. I was convinced after a while that there was no one left for me and that I would have to give up searching. Then I would dream of you. "

3 " The castle loomed over head. It was dark, built on top of a large hill, the clouds meeting up to nearly hide it in a foggy mist, swirling around it. Machined planes flew around it as to detect whether or not someone was climbing the walls. A dragon stood to the side of it, guarding the main stairs to the top. Around it was a river of blood floating with skeleton heads. The river went into a dark, pitch black tunnel where you could hear the sound of water dripping overhead. I could feel a pair of animal eyes watching me. This was terrifying, but if it was for Peter, I would have to continue "
4 " The truth is, I deserve to be here. I was as selfish as a woman could come, loving someone that did not love me. In the end, I cannot even say it was love. "

5 " Some people find it to be heaven, others purgatory. You, my son, are in hell. I'm taking a role they gave me as one of the demons who get to punish you, a role I plan on taking very seriously and enjoying immensely. You'll be begging for my company, and seeing as I've been lonely for so long "

7 " The sun woke at the dawn of the day. Nova woke up, brushing her hair quickly. She brushed her teeth, and then she hurried into the kitchen where her adoptive mother, Silvia, had waited for her. Silvia had adopted Nova when she was just a baby, left on the castle's front steps. It was from then on that Silvia raised her as her daughter. "

8 " I have fought through all the elements to get to where I am now. I've become a shell of what I used to be, and now there's more nature in me than man. Ghosts have filled the hollows of my memory, leaving behind the raging wind in the plane where there once had been so much promise. "
9 " Did you say extraterrestrial life?' asked the reporter, amused. She wasn't buying this. Nobody believes the weirdos, even if the US military is behind it. Weird but easy to be expected after what I have been through. Who could believe that travel between other worlds was remotely possible? After hearing enough people tell me that I was crazy, including aunts, uncles, cousins, my parents and my siblings; it was easy for me to believe that I was. Why should society behave any different in regard to someone else? "

11 " Soon, he brought her to the nicest restaurant he could find. Gave her a dozen roses, and an engagement ring."When I commit to someone, I really commit to them. I know now that there's nobody out there who I care about as much as I do you. There's no one I would rather spend my life with."They kissed.It's true then, they thought. You really can meet the perfect person and live happily ever after. "
12 " Look at me" he said. He thrusted inside of her. "Look at me like you still love me." Tears spilled from her eyes. "But I do love you." He rested his head inside her shoulder as they remade a promise to each other, a promise they made when they first met long ago. "
13 " Scorpions are very loyal and deeply passionate. They can hold onto heartbreak and past hurt longer than you or I. It is an only illusion that makes us believe that the Scorpion is fully self-centered and only concerned with matters that affect their personal well-being. This may be a front that they put up to protect themselves from strangers they don't know very well. "
14 " Mommy? What about the 11th one? Storm? Do you think she is able to save the world?"My mother looked long and hard at me, and there seemed to be a hint of sadness in her eyes."Yes dear. I think Storm is capable of more than she can ever imagine. "

His wife had passed roughly 5 years ago.His daughter Lux Otra was tinkering for the hundredth time on her grandfather's sky faring compass, taking it apart and putting it back together.

She set the compass down and sighed in frustration. "

16 " Forget what Queen Manevola wants" said a voice above her sounding deep and grotesque. "I won't be wasting this one when her blood smells so good!""Jacobse! Wait!"Suddenly, loud and obliterating gunshots encircled the room and shattered the windows. The vampires hissed."Vampires. Your rebellion against the Time Queen, her highness Justina Reina, will not go unpunished."A cacophony of firing followed. "
17 " My Angel of Darkness keeps me from feeling lonelyFills me with desire, then is gone by morning Living in a world that doesn't know his name nor the twinkle in his eyeOr the way his arms reach for you in the middle of the night He is the only man who will ever know me better than I know myselfYet here I am againThe echoing of the air conditioningThe sunlight pouring through the wallsAnd I am reminded of being replaced "
