Grievous Portent

written by: Anne G

@TheInkTruth

Grievous portent

damnation and doom

Nightmarish scenario

stifles the room

Brimstone and fire

darkness and gloom

Predictions of chaos

calamity looms

Sensing the end

of sun and the moon

I stiffen my spine

and gather my wits

Mankind is greater

than the sum of its parts

Made of much more

than just madmen and goons

Wisdom wins out

and vanquishes fools

Nature will reign

the world is in bloom

You also may have seen her cosplaying Catwoman. Laura is a lover of all animals, and owns several cats and dogs.

Time Traveler by Ernie Stricsek

I will not waste words on the preparations made for the trip I am about to describe, that’s another story in itself and probably better suited for the eyes and ears of physicists due to its highly technical nature. I will say that my journey began with the purchase of a 200-year-old farm with a large barn in Cashtown, PA, population 450, and a mere stone’s throw from the town of Gettysburg. I had studied the writings of H.G. Wells for a good many years, so the barn served me well and I was able to design and construct a vehicle that would enable me to travel through time. Given the technological advances which have occurred since Wells’ era, my time machine was of vastly superior capabilities. I performed three successful test runs to Gettysburg....
