Warm wisps of air hit my neck. The sensation is soothing- not a surprising revelation considering I moved my bed closer to the heater for that very reason. Dim light meets my eyes, my iPad's brightness settings turned down to spare my eyes in the surrounding darkness of my room. I can hear vague sounds coming from the room next door. More than likely they're being made by my cat in his efforts to catch the last few maple bugs that had found their way inside to avoid the winter chill. I scroll through a website called Quora almost mindlessly, reading answers to questions I'll likely forget minutes later.

Louis cried out throwing his head back. He gargled trying to swallow the strange liquids that filled his mouth. Finally the alpha clasped his hand over the boy's mouth forcing him to swallow. The boy fell forward resting his head on the alpha's chest. He didn’t know how much longer he could live like this. He woke up and was fucked, left alone for a bit and was fucked again. Sometimes later in the afternoon they would switch it up with a beating but usually he just ended up being tortured again. He only received one meal a day, just enough to survive. He was beginning to think Sterling just kept him alive to torture him.

I could see the complete shock followed by worry on my mother’s face, as the doctor presented the results of my head scan. As a child, I was considered the accident-prone type. The words “be careful” were always shortly followed by “too late” in my vocabulary. From bruises, and cuts, to various surgeries, I became a frequent visitor to the doctor’s office. However, this doctor’s visit was different, as I received a head scan due to an accident in the shower. Sure enough, I had a concussion, my third to be exact (the other two gifted during adolescence). Though this isn’t what caused my mother’s face of worry, it was the words that came after. “You also appear to have a meningioma,” stated the doctor. These words that the doctor said almost

“All of you courageous men are doing a noble work. Your heavenly Father shall inevitably reward you,” declared Father Lebeau after ending the Mass, “those people of perdition, the Scandinavians, are in most definite need of the Holy Word. However, their wrathful and barbaric ways prevent any diplomatic and peaceful sessions from taking place. It disheartens me to say, but one of the king’s messengers has given us word that dragon-framed ships are en route to this very coast.”

To function in the grey is something not many people get to do when they go to work. For 4 groups of people, dispatchers, law enforcement, fire and Emergency Medical Service (EMS), personnel, that’s the world they live in. Yes there are laws, regulations, and protocols, that govern the average person but at the end of the day, there is not anything to cover every situation that can be found in the field. There are so many moving parts in the real world it’s like living in Circ du Soleil. Ring masters, dispatch, gathering resources and information, controlling teams from across the district, to keep everyone involved and informed.

Earth’s average temperature is projected to be roughly 1.1-5.4°C warmer in 2100 than it was in 2012 [1]. The increase might seem small in proportion to the amount of years it will take, but it will be very noticeable when the change occurs. Temperature becomes more evident inside of small buildings, or when they are crowded with people. People have counteracted the heat by inventing appliances and making advancements such as air conditioners, or fans; these cooling systems have done their purpose without error, but as prices of resources continue to incline, money may be a future problem. One of multiple ways to efficiently and effectively attack this problem is with passive cooling. It utilizes renewable energy sources like the sun and
