The Time-Out Orb
What’s that? Do you feel it? You’re reading and there is no one else around, maybe just your pet or the sound of a ticking clock. That little feeling that may be creeping up on you just might be humankind’s worst punishment… loneliness. Okay, maybe you aren’t lonely. Maybe you’re sitting around in the most […]

Racism Among Us
It was yesterday, June 3rd. I walk into a Starbucks at around 6:30 PM and stand behind the man in line in front of me. He struck me as an unusual character to be in Starbucks— an elderly black veteran— not the typical member of the millennial crowd that I’m used to. He struck up […]

Trusting In Antitrust
On May 9th, 2019, Chris Hughes wrote an article for the New York Times arguing that Facebook, the company that he co-founded with Mark Zuckerberg, should be broken up. He refers to Facebook as a company with more power than the government and that it has gained the title of the monopoly of the […]

Bedtime Routine
Sandra’s quivering hand rose slowly to the awaiting switch. The bulbs around her room flickered softly when she finally did reach it. Immediately, she withdrew her touch, rubbing her hands together to create some kind of heat within her bloodless fingers. A tiny dribble of sweat condensed from nowhere, it seemed. It’s time.

The Fruits of His Labor
The massive orchard was ablaze in the setting sun. Various fruits on the ground mocked their fiery father as they lay in the waste of one another, shining with the same vibrant color of sunsets and sunrises without emitting any light.
