Now or Never

written by: Anurag Sharma

Too young to be lost in tablets,
Too old to live by gadgets

Too old to party all night,
But just as old to do what’s right

As a child I often used to wonder,
Age is what but just a number

Always dreamt of living youth to the hilt,
Ruthless time flew past leaving only guilt

My humble call to people of all ages,
Life is a beautiful book of vibrant pages

Relish the moments don’t bother the pace,
He who makes the most here wins the race

She enjoys a variety of activities, including biking, photography, yoga and hiking. Spirituality is very important to Laura and much of her writing centers around working through grief and loss.

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....
