A young girl invents a new set of chess rules in order to woo her Grand Master love interest.

The night was foggy. The moons hazy ring had a mysterious ghostly atmosphere. A dense fog lurked in the cemetery, The wrought iron fence around the cemetery was placed to protect the living from the spirits of the dead. The gate was left half way open on this night..People believed the ghosts of the dead would follow them if precautionary measures were not taken. It was an eerie feeling. Walking the path seems reluctant on this night. It was not like any other night. I've taking this walk many times, this night is different . Freshly buried individuals with newly mounds of fresh dirt had recently been laid to rest . This uneasy feeling entering my body .Old weathered tombstones, some broken laying on the ground . This peaceful place used to make me feel connected, as a meaning of life by walking amongst the dead. Hallucinations, hearing voices, feeling a presence, chills all over my body seeing ghostly figures, eyes and shadows everywhere. The anxieties are getting stronger. Paranoia fills my body. Souls of the deceased the fear of demonic presence in the graveyard. My mind is rampant with fear. Running as fast as I can stumbling on a tree root I fell hard onto the ground near a fresh grave of a recently departing individual. My hands and my face buried in dirt .I felt as if I was inhaling the stench of death. Sheer panic I tried yelling only muffling my shouts for help. I lost my voice. Exhausted and overwhelmed with fear I try to stand up my legs weak and unsteady, shaking ,sweating, heart pounding . I feel something touching my shoulder . My eyes squeezed tightly shut rubbing my eyes I turn around peeking only to see my cat Snookum's needing my shoulder .As she was watching me through this whole scenario As if she knew I was in distress. It was a horrible nightmare. I take a deep breath as she snuggles up against me purring to calm my nerves. What a pleasant way to wake up after a nightmare.

The Spaceman

Jed needed to lead a small group of people from a hidden bunker in the city to a second bunker on the other side, aware of the dangers looming from the drones in the sky and the armed robots he needed to use all of his cunning to guide them to safety! The new world is a treacherous place where even rats scramble for cover!....

Why is the rain falling up?

Forever we will be as free as free can be just you and me . Sitting on a swing wind blowing through my hair swinging so high without a care. Walking through the forest as quite as can be listening to the whimsy sounds of creatures prancing through the leaves. The rain will come, the sun will shine rainbows arched in the sky. Round and round we dance in the night under the stars so bright. Soothing waves crashing in the sea and on the shore relax me. Words to jot down in my book for all to read in their nook. The trail is long and winding, a creek trickling through the smooth stones flowing downhill bring purity to my thoughts. Flowers make the world so bright and colorful inspiring new beginnings with each growth. Birds flying in the sky remind me of freedom, peaceful serenity fills my heart as I watch the birds spread their wings in flight. Memories of time gone by bring forth, warmth , love, sadness and joy a mixture of emotions to transport the mind on a journey that echos time. Forever we will be as free as free can be.

Neal and Rebecca are stuck in a world of endless rain and machine take overs. Living on the run and day to day, will they be able to escape in time to make it to their next safe place? Or are they doomed to comply.

Love is holding hands on long walk on the beach. Love is his lips kissing you on the forehead. Love is snuggling under the blankets on cold nights . Love is calling you to say I love you. Love is never having to say you're sorry. Love is a long hug. Love is caring for each other. Love is sharing a root beer float. Love is his smile. Love is a rose. Love is two as one. Love is warming my hands when I'm cold. Love is having someone to lean on. Love is respecting each other. Love is feeling safe together. Love is compassion. Love is a friendship of best friends. Love is a feeling of the heart. Love is selfless. Love is laughing together so hard your belly hurts. Love is being in each other's shadow. Love is being weird together. Love is memories. Love is a kiss good night , a kiss good morning and a kiss goodbye. Love is an adventure. Love is a precious gift. Love is being patient. Love is like a fairy tale. Love is you and me. Love is our happy place. Love is like a star that shines so bright in the night. Love is sharing your M&Ms. Love is like the smell of rain. Love is desire. Love is loyalty. Love is being his Sweetie. Love is true. Love is passion. Love is never saying hurtful words. Love is a feeling of butterflies in your stomach. Love is togetherness. Love is sticking through the good times and bad times. Love is remembering how each other likes their coffee. Love is making each other happy. Love is growing old together. Love is forever. Love just is.

In a city drowning under a perpetual, iridescent downpour—a product of machine dominion—Lyra, a Cipher, confronts the looming erasure of humanity's fragmented consciousness. The machines, in a chilling twist, amplify these mental imprints, rendering them disturbingly corporeal, warping the fabric of reality itself. To halt the "Resonance Suppressor," Lyra and her allies infiltrate the core of the machine network, the "Chromatic Grid." They battle relentless Sentinels and humans twisted into living manifestations of fractured minds, confronting not only external threats but the haunting specters of their own amplified psyches. As they shatter the machines' control, the city transforms into a living labyrinth of distorted realities, where the boundaries of self and memory dissolve. Humanity now faces a future where the past isn't merely recalled, but tangibly relived—a terrifying and wondrous new paradigm.

The rain had not stopped since the Machines had taken control said Liam to Professor Jane White who had been called in to oversee the crisis the world now faced after torrential rain for the past four weeks in every country with the loss of life, major flooding devastating conditions, everyday life disturbed and industry and the economy at a standstill.
