The wide open spaces were calling to her. The linear orderliness of blocks with their rectangular form and regimentation were starting to literally box her in. She felt cramped, encroached upon, her colour bleached by the drudge and the drain of city living.
Rachel DeemingPublished about 5 hours ago in FictionDear Hearts
Ask me in December when the frost sparkles in the branches and the sidewalks are treacherous with blackened ice. Ask me at the end and not in the beginning or the middle this tale. Have patience, dear hearts, give young Janie and Rich a fair chance together before asking will they, or won't they?
It must have ended somewhere.
Face wrinkled like rags, the little grey haired old man who once stood tree-length tall, now hunched over as if carrying a backpack of decade old bricks was bending his spine. Reminds me of how inevitably life passes.

Tears at the Cooling

They were lovers. It had sounded so romantic, alone overnight on his sailboat. Anchored for the night, all was cozy in the cabin, replete with a wide bunk of silk sheets.
Gerard DiLeoPublished about 19 hours ago in FictionLargest UFO Sighting in History
The UFO category might be viewed as the ultimate mystery of the unearthly world, and indeed there is no case shining brighter than the one which took place exactly 20 years ago, on March 13, 1997. This striking and lasting event, witnessed by scores of people through Arizona, comprises a part of one of the most astounding UFO sightings in the history. However, the multiplicity of first-hand reportage and official release does not help unmask the real truth that is covered by the mystery and debatable issues.
Amine OubihPublished about 20 hours ago in FictionOn My Way to Memphis
On my way to Memphis, I had to stop in Tupelo, in Mississippi, less than 120 miles (193 kilometres) from my destination and the King. He was born in Tupelo, so I decided to start there, in case I could see him when he was a kid. Little Elvis sounded strange and I could not even imagine what he looked like. I looked at a few pictures, but I was sure that he would look better, alive.
