The yelling and the screaming these imbeciles do in this damn place is just so agitating! It’s all because the pastor makes a reference to the bad in this world. To me, it’s just pointless.

The rabbit tilts its head from across the rectangular practice room, eyes boring into mine with mischievous curiosity. Its white fur shimmers as it grabs the left side of its scarlet blazer, pulling out a pocket watch. It…

A month later they sent a team to find the vessel but instead they found a planet that was able to sustain life and was rich with rare elements that was crucial to winning the war.
