Ode to Dave (or rather, Ode to the events of Dave, and the Transience of Time) by Mary Innes (This may or may not have gone through Google Translate)
Dave, new members, both about the universe has been a year young, and old, food, One dimension, but to remember. We have had above all, we now know. We have had summer and that nothing lasts, not apocalypses, winter, and Steve Jobs, or summer and zombies, are all a year or even a stone calendar. Don't forget older, and wiser; But tonight, we are young Wordsworth. we have taught, and the last day of Dave. In Rio, we have had learned many things is just the first day of Lilly.
RAID by Robin Bowering
Raider's eyes were open in an instant. The alarm was turned off and clothes were donned. The front door opened, then closed, and then all was once again silent in the Sicario manor.
Raider's parents had been gone for four years, and he did not expect them to return, nor did he want them to. In these four years Raider had struggled, but as he struggled he learned. Though the learning process was different in the wild, more about recovering knowledge already locked away in his DNA. Recovering the sixth sense.
The manor was on the edge of a chasm that prevented him from leaving the small area that he had. Raider, however, had become resourceful in his time here, and had devised a way of grappling to a tree on the other side of the chasm, tying the other end to a stake in the ground, and then gliding down the worn rope with the bow he had fashioned for hunting. This would allow Raider to enter hunting grounds where game was more rich, and, if he wished, society.
Raider had always had an aversion to society, for as time went on he realized that it was society that had taught him to fail, not nature. Today, however his objective was that of interest, and self respect. Raider was going to find out where his parents had gone.

In My Head by Lelainna Dahl
Tell me one thing, you have to be honest. If I was gone tomorrow would you cry? If I wasn’t here tomorrow would you try and find me? If I said, I’m not worth it, would you listen? If I left would you tell me not to go? If I died would you be lost? What I’m asking is, could you live without me? Would you be glad I’m gone? Are you a true friend or is it all in my head? Could I truly be followed as I walk away? Will you never leave my side? Can I count on you to smack me when I try to go? What I’m saying is, I don’t want to be alone. I don’t want to walk this street by myself. I don’t want to be stuck in my head. All I ask is you walk by me and never leave my side, because being alone in my head frightens me. But where can I run to hide from myself? The answer is anywhere with you. So never leave me alone in my head.
