Dear diary
Dear Diary, No one knows what really happened. The conspirators argue what caused things that went wrong in the year 2050. Some say it was the chem trails in the sky or the vaccines that they mass produced during the covid era. The most possible one I heard was the genetically modified food that the government ordered to produce for the increase of population. When the population rose the government installed the rules for the new generation. My generation now suffers under this government ruling. We can only have one child per family and food rations are given out accordingly from our family statues. This is for stopping the rise of population, but the only problem is that everyone around me is dying from unknown causes. It's been happening for months now. Not only is the mass population declining at a disproportionate rate, but I think that the government is behind this. I need to know more to find the truth. They say that we need to put our trust in the big government, because they know more than us and we must trust the government at all costs.

A Cure For Malice
Ash. Soot. Crumbling stone walls held an air of something grand clinging to a shred of existence. A house once stood here; one large enough to house Pinnacle’s security division. In this era of cramped charging hubs and Lilliputian living spaces, long removed from when such places were more than rubble, Malice couldn’t imagine another purpose for such a large space.

To Pluto
He slid his fingers over the cold metal. It wasn’t beautiful, by any means. The chain had tarnished and rusted long ago. He could see that the heart shaped pendant used to be ravishing. It had a dismal green tint behind the years of dirt and grime. The blackened silver hugging the stone still clung onto its former beauty, still trying to shine. He sat there for what felt like an eternity, admiring the beauty of the jewelry. He,mindlessly, turned it over and over in his hands. He wondered who it belonged to and what the story could’ve been. He turned it over in his hands one last time and saw something. If he wouldn’t have looked down at that moment, he would’ve missed it. It was the smallest twirl. It seemed to have been burned into the metal. An inscription, perhaps? He thought. It definitely didn’t look professional. It was shaky, messy, and a stark contrast to the elegant front.

Doomsday They Say
She was always fond of the stars. I could tell by the way she would glance up at the night sky every time she would slip out of the car, or merely step out on the bar’s balcony for a cigarette. She’d stand there in silence, ignoring the chatter of the music, dark eyes gleaming with amusement; pondering the universe, the galaxies. Meandering in her own Lilliputian world of what ifs; and so, she would come back to reality with a visage of sadness, a diminutive frown of regret, as if she wished to be somewhere else, somewhere beyond the stars. She didn’t belong here.. and neither did I.

Driver's License
“What do you have to be heart broken about? You’ve never even had a boyfriend.” her friend told her laughing. The song playing over and over ran in her eardrums. I know we weren’t perfect but I’ve never felt this way about someone… you said forever, now I drive alone past your street” She knew all too well what that felt like. She closed her eyes as memories flooded her mind. The hours that they had spent driving around endlessly, just talking about anything. About Everything. He knew her better than she knew herself sometimes. He was her best friend. She smiled as she remembered how hard he would laugh at her bad jokes. The way he would get excited about telling her about a show or a song that he loved. She didn’t see him get that excited very often. It was refreshing and it always made her smile.

Astraea
“Pandora rises from the Earth; she is the Earth, giver of all gifts” (5th Century BC Amphora) Zeus would not send a gift if it didn't do him some favour, and so we learn from Hesiod, “Before Hope could fly away, Pandora replaced the lid of the jar. This was the will of aegis-bearing Zeus the Cloud Gatherer.”
