Paper & Twine
The box rested gently in my hands as my fingers brushed the smooth surface of its paper covering. The twine wrapped around it was rough, crossing on the bottom of the package and looped into a bow on top. There was only one word written on the brown, paper-covered box, filling the space in the top right corner between the strands of twine. I had seen that writing, so many times before, but the feeling it brought was so different than the very first time.

It's Not That Hard
I looked up when Chris came in with one of his knitting bags and settled on the bed next to me. “What now?” I grumbled, shifting as his weight unbalanced me. I was trying to get comfortable but being this pregnant meant I was never comfortable. And I was always hot.

#1: Anthropolis One: The Never Clock
“The infinite multiplied by infinity. That is the true fabric of reality.” ~ Dr. Zhou Sun Chapter 1 - Alpha I feel time pressing down on me with the crushing weight of an elephant resting on an ant.

Finding Friendship
I was on the move. The move to where, I didn't really know. I had first thought to stay put. Rebuild the house long abandoned and nearly destroyed. To stay where Papa would know to find me. To stay where home used to be and to hope it could maybe be something like home again.

One Wrong Turn
Today is the day! I was getting ready for the picnic. I reviewed the directions that had been provided to me by my love. Seemed like a strange place for a picnic but he’d led me on some amazing adventures already, so I trusted his intuition. I was not an innately trusting person.

Dimensional Chocolate
My grandfather and I are waiting on my parents to return from their latest mission. I cannot wait until they return so that I can record their findings. Until then the story about the missing family had to have an explainable outcome, so I contacted my Uncle Wren. He is in the family business just like my dad, his brother. We are allowed to talk about the “secret missions” with other family members that are in the family business. Anyone else in our family or friends can never know what we are doing. The way it has been explained to me is that there are certain people that are chosen to see and understand the things that cannot be seen and understood by the masses of people. There are a few families that have special abilities and the birthright to do the work required in these missions.
