short story

In the summer of last year
This is the first summer you left me, outside the window a field of lavender, the cool fragrance entwined with the earthly long-range thoughts.

Goodbye, Broken Planet
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Not that anyone would hear me anyway. I can barely speak after The Blackout. It was the toxic fumes. Now, my voice cracks just above the volume of a whisper. However, most of the time it does not sadden me that I cannot speak as before. Maybe it is because I have nothing to say. Maybe I am at a permanent loss for words. The world ending can have that effect.

Seven Sisters Stars
CHAPTER ONE Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Well, who is nobody and who are they? Are they human, hybrid, alien or something else? A cosmic void rarely if never involves loud screaming beer drinking humans on a Friday night. There is no bonfire, disco ball, rocking DJ, dancers or booming speakers. Doubtful you would ever find yourself in a vacuum of space with one of your buddies to hear you scream or not. Mabel laughs at the thought of it anyway as it sounds ridiculous.

Racing to fill Space -2050-
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Would you believe an open world of vacuum space; no human life on earth? No longer traceable? No animal, plant life, mankind or humanity – vanished. Floating wasn't optional or even the once in a lifetime opportunity. A populated creation that hardly existed by the universe. An overwhelming story how reproduction once took place. Yes, the once took place is a bad joke. The demand was so powerful, no human could stop the opportunity for growth. Centuries of man made destruction to evolve fast production for a demanding world. As it was told a wicked scientist stood behind a control panel; operational robotic-zombie creating vacuumed space life.

400 IQ
400 IQ Power of the Mind Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space , or so they say , the sc avius Joshua’s spaceship, rattled as it sped through space and towards the unknown. Joshua clenched his jaw against the clattering sound, unbearably loud to his sensitive ears. The monitor beeped, informing him of SC AVius’ parts that had taken a hit when he’d left Earth’s gravitational pull. SC Avius wasn’t complete when Joshua had taken it into space. It still needed a lot of work before it was safe for travel but Joshua didn’t have the time, not with Earth’s renowned intelligence agencies after him.

There is a land inhabited by deserts, forests, and humans.
There is a land inhabited by deserts, forests, and humans. Humans are smart, forests are kind, they get along very well, and they live in peace from generation to generation, but deserts are ambitious and always want to dominate the land. Helpless, God can't help him, the forest is too powerful, not to mention that there are humans behind it who make plans for it, so the desert can only linger outside the fortress, but his eyes are always looking inward, always ready to subvert humans and the forest.

The Power of Water
After a relatively brief yet painfully long hiatus, I was able to get back to hiking and exploring the DMV area. The weather was ideal for a challenging hike, mostly cloudy and about 70 degrees, but the hike I chose wasn’t going to be all that challenging. My boyfriend finally agreed to come with me, after what felt like months of asking every weekend since I sold my car. I wanted him to come with me for quality time together but I mostly needed a ride. With such moderate weather on my side, I chose a hike that was less than two miles and climbed less than 150 feet in elevation to be sure I didn't sour the experience for him. We drove 40 minutes to Prince William National Forest and took the scenic drive around the park to find the nearest lot to the trail and get a lay of the land.

A Walk through the Valley
One could never imagine that magic existed in this small town of Sutherlin, Oregon. All one had to do to access it was to cross the rickety cattle guard that separated the public from the secret valley. There are two paths to choose from when stepping through the portal. One would take you on a journey through the grassy valley where mice scamper from the watchful eyes of hawks to the looming forests where the family of woodpeckers reside after a full breakfast at the local bird feeders. The other path takes you across to a different terrain with cascading waterfalls and hidden caves where tiny treasures can be found. Both paths are tempting, but the one that beckons the curious traveler is the one that calls the loudest.

See fireworks again
And see gorgeous dazzling fireworks, my thoughts thronged the imagination. It was New Year's Eve a year ago. After dinner, my brother came bounding up to me carrying a bag. "Brother, do you set off fireworks?" "He asked playfully, with his mouth cupped. I bent down to examine the bag in his hand, a colorful fireworks tube from the bag out of the small head, make me feel familiar. The same fireworks, I thought.

thunderstorm
Dark clouds shrouded the sky, and there was darkness in front of me. Only when there was lightning, there was a ray of light, sweeping away the dullness caused by the darkness. But after the lightning, there was a rumble of thunder, which seemed to roll over the head, and then banged loudly and exploded, so scary. A flash of light flashed, and I quickly covered my ears... The arrival of thunderstorms In the afternoon, a strong wind suddenly blew outside. Chickens and dogs barked everywhere in the village, and the house became dark. It is going to rain. The leaves shook violently, and there was a "rumbling" sound in the distance, as if coming from the ground. I looked out the window, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the wind was blowing loudly. There were almost no pedestrians on the street, only a few cars were seen passing by quickly. After a while, it rained heavily outside. My window was rattled by the wind, and my mother quickly locked it. During the thunderstorm, I can't turn on the TV, computer, tape recorder, repeater... I have to draw. Another gust of wind swayed people's eyes. I don't know who's window was closed, and there was a sound of glass shattering. The wet print of raindrops appeared on the ground, and gradually became larger. The thunder grew louder, as if to encourage the rain: Everyone jump down! It rained heavily. The sound of thunder became clear, and my grandmother said: This is Li Lei, and it is the most dangerous. The sound of thunder "click" and "click" is really like what is written in "Journey to the West", Lei Gong and Lei Mu are in the cloud and dancing sledgehammers in command. The lines of the lightning are getting thicker and thicker. When a thunder strikes, a lightning bolt cuts through the sky and goes straight to the ground, and the sky becomes like daytime. The rain was intermittent. It was heavy for a while, and it was small for a while. The sound of "rushing" gradually faded away. I didn't know when it would stop. Birds with nests all returned to their nests, and those without nests hid under a big tree, shaking from time to time. The rain fell on his head, and then he hid his head deeply in his neck. The speed of this lightning is getting faster and faster, appearing quickly and disappearing quickly, like a little boy hiding from you, he is wearing bleached clothes, that kind of white is a color that is difficult to adjust on a palette, He combined pale yellow, orange, gray, and light-like white to form the color of this lightning bolt. After the thunderstorm, the sky seems to be bluer and the air is fresher. Maybe the thunderstorm has cleaned them up! After a while, the lightning swept to the horizon, the wind ran into the distance, and the rain quietly went away. The ground in the village is very wet. Except for the dripping sound of "tick" and "tick", the flowers, grass, trees and trees are covered with "new clothes". In the puddle, the dog was licking the water in the small puddle, the chicken came out of the chicken coop again, and foraged leisurely in the yard. Pigeons also came, and the weeping willows by the river were even more beautiful. What a thunderstorm! The sky suddenly turned cloudy, and the sun was shining just now, but in an instant it was covered with thick dark clouds, and the room was pitch dark. Reading a book in front of the window was a lot of effort, so I put down my pen and book and looked out the window. A gust of wind came, and the branches were swaying fiercely, making a clucking sound, as if they would break away from the trunk at any time and be thrown into the distance. I don't know who's window has no hooks, and the uncontrolled windows kept shaking and bumping. Before I could speculate on the consequences, I heard a "bang" and the glass shattered. Dark clouds shrouded the sky, and there was darkness in front of me. Only when there was lightning, there was a ray of light, sweeping away the dullness caused by the darkness. But after the lightning, there was a rumble of thunder, which seemed to roll over the head, and then banged loudly and exploded, so scary. A flash of lightning flashed, and I quickly covered my ears... The raindrops fell immediately. A lot of raindrops, following the wind, fell diagonally on the windowsill of my house, forming one watermark after another in a blink of an eye. Suddenly, the raindrops became very dense, and the buildings and trees in the field of vision were hidden in the vast rain. About half an hour later, the rain stopped and the clouds dissipated. The trees and buildings seemed to be the same, except that they were different from before the rain, and the eyes were fresh.
