Sweet Chariot
Carlinton Kneedham ran his hand over the smooth surface of the aircraft, illuminated only by a lantern in the barn. Alighting suddenly from its perch, a barn owl painted the ebony canvas of the sky as it flew towards the stars. Carlinton and his brother Valas had been putting the finishing touches on the aircraft to make it ready to fly through the sky the next morning, despite it being obviously heavier than air.

A chilly Solo Trip.
Sometimes you find yourself believing you already know everything, right? You’re young, you’ve survived this long getting into trouble without your parents finding out. Doing all kinds of “ungodly” activities you will absolutely not be telling your grand children one day. And every now and then, you just do something do impeccably bold that you are suddenly the topic of all of your friends and family for weeks. This time, instilling the fear of yourself being kidnapped to all of your friends, coworkers and loved ones. The first person you would tell, is your favorite coworker, they’re your safe space at work right? There shouldn’t be too much cold hard judgement there. But then you tell them, and they look at you with this blank expression you’re dying to try and read before they squeal at you “What? Are you CRAZY?”. You just told them you’re going to Alaska on your own to meet some guy you met online all by yourself, essentially flying across the country through various airports and cities. Alright, okay, cool now you are afraid to tell anyone else but you of course, still are determined to go. You see that you have about 13 days left until your flight that you booked. You even opened a credit card to be sure you could go. Smart right? We’ll determine that later.
