The exhaustion of the others had started to become very noticeable. #Measureable, almost. Blackened bags under eyes, irritability. Brawls starting over the strangest of tiny things.
They needed a release and rest and, while The Enemy didn’t, these people were only human. They needed more.

"Ms. Lee, can I switch seats?" Johnny asked as the other kids rushed out the door for recess, "I'm tired of Billy teasing me."
"I don't have an #issue with that," Ms. Lee replied, "But I do have a question."
"What?"
"Who is Billy?" There was no one with that name on her attendance sheet. #vss365

The notebook detailed the deeds and events pertaining to the Rocketmen. Instructions were given, an unfortunate #issue, for they had gone to ground. Too late! The authorities had no clue as to where they were, what they would do or how soon. The only clues were on those purloined pages.

We made things so safe. On the first day of school, we #issue each student a handgun. By last bell, all the bad ones are dead. And if one of the bad ones misuses theirs, we all have good guns to shoot good bullets right in their face. It's the perfect system. Only a bad person would disagree

Ahh
To be transported
To the future
Full of solar flare energy
The gases dancing
Mingling
But never fully
Touching
Domes
Vibrating
With vivid city lights
Soundless on the outside
As purple and green
Gases seek a way in
The people within
Oblivious
To the danger
Of a tiny hairline
Fracture

Montor’s eyes glisten as he looks at me.
“Kindor, there are some things an Arandan male cannot forgive. One of us is not living to see the sun rise. Mina, get your and Josher’s supplies packed and wait for me outside. Kindor and I have some #issue-s to take care of.”

Ms. M. played her cards close to the vest. This time she held the CabanaBoy of Clubs. It was a pair, actually. The strain was too much for the old girl’s heart. Security found her cold & blue, clutching a Club towel, smiling ear-to-ear. The cabana boys ghosted, tho.

At some point in one’s life
the #number of yesterdays becomes greater than the number
of your tomorrow's.
Cherish the today's.
Fill them with joy,seek for that which warms a heart .
Until every last one
of your yesterday’s blazes so bright that it lights up every one
of your tomorrow's

It’s always the same
Heart issues end up
With tears in tissues
Sobbing and mourning
The disappearance
Of yet another love
It’s a heart breaking
Shattered in pieces
That need picking up
Until a new smile
A new stomach flutter
Starts the game anew

Conspiracy theories are meant to be fun distractions, not facts or philosophies. Fanciful science isn't science. And there's a point where common sense says the simplest answer is most likely true. I don't believe Earth is flat because there's no reason why it would be.

I ask you to learn

I ask you to change

I ask you to grow
even when you're old
especially when what you knew
no longer holds
I ask you to keep asking
there's beauty in truth
