He walked into the office at a loss for words and a cold sting in his side. He had just saved a life, isn’t that something to be proud of? It was 6p.m. and almost everyone had gone home already. The daylight was starting to dim. He hadn’t eaten since the morning, but at least he still had the sandwich his wife made him. He took his sandwich and stepped out to his usual lunch spot outside. It was r...
The sun's first rays pierce the veil of night,
Stirring me from slumber's peaceful embrace.
Eyes flutter open, senses come alive,
As I awaken to this new day's grace.
But deeper still, a stirring in my soul,
A call to rise beyond the physical plane.
Consciousness expands, boundaries dissolve,
I awaken to truths I can't contain.
Reborn, renewed, my spirit takes new flight,
Soaring towards enlight...
Smoke plumes just a few streets over as I can see small floating lights drift in the night wind. These cinders must be from a raging fire. I rush through the street towards the light that illuminates the nightlife of our town. As I turn a corner my snout is met with a strong scent of acrid smoke. The source of this cloud is a small heap of wood that looks on the verge of full collapse. No one is i...
Red. The last color I will ever see. Staring into the mouth of the alien beast before me, its mouth was filling with that crimson light that I knew would hit my squad and I with a swift and fatal blow. We would become numbers amongst the fallen, statistics for history books — if anyone was left alive to write them. A sad fate, a lonely fate. Yet, if I was remembered as a number in the fight agains...
I plunged, like the fool I am, into the core of the fire, the heat blistered and scorched the fabric of my uniform. My BA hissing in my ears, mask stuck to my face like a limpet to a smooth rock. Flames swirled, dancing dervishes, consuming everything in their path. Here we go again I thought, another day another out of control chip pan fire taken the whole building. My companions and I often joke...
At first, I heard a subtle groan.
I turned around.
The building was almost . . . Glowing.
Wait, glowing?!
I raced inside, fire consuming everything in uts path.
It blazed near my face, but I couldnt leave.
Not yet.
“ Help!”
“ Fire!”
“ Get outside!”
Shrill screams sounded all around me, but I stood my ground.
After a moment of collecting my thoughts, I raced for the rooms of the hotel.
“ Everyon...
As we land, the sudden notice of bare life catches our attentions.
No light, no sounds, no smells, beyond the space scent of dust and time.
Stars do not twinkle in the abandoned outpost, nor are there any light lamps.
Everything is still, like a lake on a windless day.
Sand mounds spot the area of desertion.
With a hint of light, we spot small stone structures, yet they are completely destroy...
I saw you standing there
And from that moment I felt your eyes shining at mine
I felt the unfamiliar magnetism pulling me towards you
I saw nothing else
And as the crowd mingled and laughed
I was pleased to find you staring
I simply did not care
Tall handsome and artistic
With a touch of bad boy you smiled
And to follow this meeting there we stood
Embarking on a dangerous daydream a time of fli...
The quiet night was awoken with bells, sirens, alarms and time to go
Our job is to get to the blaze of fire, saving people’s lives I know
Driving our ladder trucks, and racing safely to the place of flame
Screaming was heard from inside, this inferno who’s to blame
Luckily there was only one person, who I got out very safe and sound
He was injured but alive and yelling, get me back to the ground...
