Beneath the Silver Moon
On a chilly fall day, a 29-year-old Liz sat in her car outside her job and wondered why she had even agreed to take a shift on her only day off. She sighed before pulling her long red hair up into a ponytail. The office building looked as cold on the outside as it did on the inside, but bills needed to be paid. She gathered her stuff, exited her car, and proceeded inside to begin her dreaded day. Mary, the secretary, waved at her in the normal cheery demeanor you'd expect from her, but Liz just smiled and ducked into her office quickly shutting the door to shut out the chaos. She sat in her office chair and stared at the list of "to-do" stuff that her boss had left on her desk. "Great", she thought before logging into her computer and checking her email. Boring, boring, and more boring, she read through the list of emails about meetings, reports, and the occasional dinner party invites that were very clearly meant for her boss and not her. She stopped on a random email from her friend. The same friend she chose to cover the day for seeing as Evie called in for a sick day. Evie never got sick so this was a first. The email read that Evie was supposed to give a small interview to Marcus Lee, this small town's version of a celebrity. His family comes from old money but Mr. Lee has formed his status through his own contracting company that handled several contracts from construction to even small jobs like babysitting. For anything you might need a verified contract for to ensure a legit job, he'd be the person to go to. He also oversaw several charities and even the local children's center. For anyone, he'd be a dream to talk to, but Liz was dreading it. She wasn't known for getting along too well with Marcus. A bitter grudge from when she was 18 that never really got resolved with a boy who she once thought hung the moon. The boy who told her to get lost on their last day of high school despite them being best friends. The boy who broke her heart. What was she going to do???

K-pop Immersion
Music, in my opinion, can be one of the greatest platforms to connect people, society, and cultures. In the US we are most aware of the music that fits Western standards. Even the love for classical music is dying off as the music we see in pop culture takes over. That being said we've started seeing an influx of K-pop supporters in the US in recent years.

Along with their odd appearance her and her sister seemed to have interesting abilities. Lore could hypnotize anyone with her voice and Leyla seemed to have the ability to feel what others felt. It never made sense to Lore how her and her sister could be so different. Eventually Lore went to college to study music and after graduating was on the fast track to her theatre debut.

Two Years Later...
It's been two years since my grandfather passed away suddenly. Two years since the day I found him lying lifeless in his bed. I'd like to say I've moved on and found peace, but to be honest I'm just kind of moving forward. The whole world passing by me like a blur. There are still moments where I find myself wishing he was here. One bad day and I feel like a little girl again. Sitting in my computer chair crying for my grandfather. Wishing this reality was just a bad dream I could wake from. A dream I could escape from to a reality... where May 20th, 2021 never happened.

Watercolored
Sara sat at her art table contemplating what to draw next. She had a deadline on her portfolio but had no idea what to do for her final piece. A piece about imagination. Slowly the sun outside started setting and the world around her grew quiet. Clearly sketching wasn't helping her creativity flow. Sara knew she needed help. She pulled out her phone and texted her dear friend. "I'm stuck and I'm not sure what to do for this piece. How am I supposed to sketch something that is imaginative?", she typed with a sigh. If anyone could help her it had to be her friend. She took one breath and then hit send patiently waiting for a response. A very slow response.

Going the Distance
It's been a constant idea that as we grow from child to teen to adult we experience love in one way or another. Whether it's the crush in junior high or the first real relationship in high school to finding true love and starting a journey through life as adults. Some people fall in love one time and end up marrying that first love. Some might be what's considered "Late Bloomers" and take their time finding love. Some fall in and out of love many times before finding that one. That being said the more advanced technology becomes the more you find people connecting with other people in different states or even different countries. Some might find they connect with someone on a much deeper level despite the distance beginning what we would refer to as a long-distance relationship.

I still miss you
May 20th, 2021 my life forever changed. Growing up I never really had a father. Between the abuse I endured at age five at the hands of his girlfriend at the time and his family's dislike of my hard-working, dedicated mother he was never around. That being said I had a really great grandfather... I called him Pappy. He helped raise and teach my brother and I. Taught my brother how to draw and encouraged my love for music. He went to my band events... even helped pay for some of them. It's because of him and my mom that I got to go to Disney in 2011. He was my father figure. Wise and stern yet kind and gentle. May 20th of last year... I lost that father figure. He had passed away from a heart attack in his sleep and I found him that morning. It has been a year.

Feathered Moon
The moon sat in the dark sky. Full and bright as the first snowfall of the winter came upon a small town. The town sat quietly on this cold night. Right on the outskirts of this small town lived a willow tree. Beautiful but haunting. As the snow drifted down hard, covering the lush green grass with ease a lone wolf slowly walked through the path towards the willow... a tree his pack calls the Great Willow Tree. With sadness in his heart, the wolf sat under the Great Willow tree. He stared up at the bright full moon as soft white snowflakes brushed against his grey fur. On one of the branches above sat a bird. This bird stared up at the moon as if it had the same longing as him. Just then a distant howl startled the bird causing it to fly off. As the snow fell from the branch the wolf's heart sank. Loneliness setting in. Slowly the wolf walked away from the Willow to the town below; the image of the bird lingering.
