Unmasked

written by: Cindy Coverly

Tonight….alone, I am filled with fear…
What if, when, or how do we unmask the hidden mysteries of our souls.
When emotions arise.

Don’t show it! Just smile!
With this I bow, a brave stance,
A joke,
Make someone smile!
Dramatics… distract them with dance.

What if words fail me, and they never see…
My story never told, a chapter or three,
Would they mock me?
Would they judge me?
Would they laugh with me and think I believe?
No!
But I do see, those beautiful words that are hidden inside of me.

Laura Bennett

Laura is a native of South Florida who has spent over a decade working in the healthcare industry. She loves the outdoors and is equally at home on the beach or in the mountains. 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. Laura also writes on a variety of other topics, in which she tries to send a positive message, adding a touch of humor when appropriate. Laura doesn't shy away from writing on darker topics as she believes it's important to embrace the shadow self. If you had to ask her what her favorite drink was, she'd most definitely say coffee. 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....
