The Plague . Top Story - June 2023.
After a night of thin sleep, I rose from my bed, joints aching and body weary. Lack of rest or something else? Gently, I probed my neck and underneath my arms. No swelling. Reassuring but it could mean I hadn’t progressed to that symptom yet. I took stock. No aching skull, no bone-rattling chills. I swallowed. No sore throat. Surely, nothing more than poor sleep.

The Comet
“Incandescent ice streaked against inky night. A comet. Cosmic snowballs spreading millennium old celestial dust. Miles above me? A cataclysm: unleashing blood-red lightning and bruising the sky. A deep thunder—not of this Earth—shattered the silence. Interstellar key clicked."
