Behind the last window
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. He was the new professor, joining the school only days before. She stood there now staring at him, studying him. He stood with his back to her, she could see the muscles of his back rippling through his suit jacket. His broad shoulders made the jacket just a slightly bit too tight.

Black Noon
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. It was a small window, forbidden by law and, unbeknownst to the local authorities, hidden behind a craftily hung picture and its frame. But the window, the last of its kind, could not be easily hidden or forgotten about; the light had bled through from behind the chipping brown frame, overflowed over the stale gray walls and spilled onto the cold concrete floors of the upper room. Its warmth managed to seep through the cracks in her ceiling, dripping on her pristine white walls and mystically wafted through her room. It called to her. The light had only whispered to her at first, in a voice that was almost completely inaudible. It scratched at her ears, which prompted her to send for a doctor. He came, the only doctor who dared venture into their side of town, and determined there was nothing wrong with her ears, but she was a bit malnourished. He, through the door, as he naturally could not go inside her complex, prescribed her a hot meal and a bath, but could not provide either to her. So, she went back to her thoughts for several days, forgetting about the itching for a long time.

My Message to the Future and My Presidential Announcement
As many people may know I am running for the Presidency of the United States and I do this every 4 years. I know I have no chance and this is more of a joke unless I win. If I am chosen I will have the first Indigenous Vice President. I will also give the Indigenous People living on reservation the same rights as all American Citizens.

The Rarest of Human Qualities
Writing has long been considered a powerful form of communication and self-expression. It allows us to organize our thoughts, express our ideas, and document our experiences in a way that can be shared with others. But beyond its practical uses, writing can also be a way to cultivate and showcase some of the rarest and most valuable qualities of the human experience.

Behind the last widow
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. It was the only way she could see the real outside, but it was just a speck of light, a crack in the city walls. Ava sighed, returning her gaze downwards, to the city she knew all too well: New Providence.

Behind the Last Window
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. She was so close to reaching for the stars, they were right there, why couldn’t she reach them? Lora turned around; his body was still laying there from the last time she was there.

A Hound in the Walls. Top Story - December 2022.
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. Shifting sunlight filtered through murky, soup-like gas clouds. The multitudinous colors created a mesmerizing effect over the blasted, lifeless earth. It was beautiful in a way, but Zori knew if she took one step out there she would choke on those colors.
