    There is a city where the sun and the moon neither rise nor set a city of perpetual twilight. Where there is no good or bad, no right or wrong. Everything is based on perspective in this ephemeral city. This city has no people, only shadows. Shades of former denizens who lost their dreams but not their hearts, a stagnate state of being alive but not living. This was the empty city. He was a lonely soul, new to this city devoid of life. Lucien had no memories of the past and no direction to move

    Several of the tribe members were afraid and paranoid as to the situation we have fallen into, and I am guilty of having those same notions. Suddenly, a swarm of geared, metal soldiers charged at our camp site mounting bizarre, four legged animals at astonishing speeds. Our instant reaction was to ready our spears and arrows as rapidly as we could, taking the lives of at least a fraction of those evil beings

    Staring, her eyes helped show her creativity. Green with gold specks and hints of gray. If I stared long enough I could almost imagine an evergreen forest with trees that touched the skies and water so clear I could see the swarms of fish below swimming below the waters surface and above the smooth lake stones. Her hair was a long honey color. Lips in such a sweet shape with a plump bottom lip and a smaller but plump as well top lip. She turned back to her painting. It was an odd scene with a small

    King Charles I of England was the first king in England that tried to have an absolute monarchy. An absolute monarchy is different than the constitutional monarchy of the kings and queens before him were trying to have. An absolute monarchy is where the monarch has all the power and there are no nobles or anyone interfering with the king’s rule; a constitutional monarchy is where the king or queen acts as the Head of State, and the Parliament makes the laws, not the monarch. King Charles’s strong
