that moondust is slippery and their craft slid quite a few feet before coming to a stop. When Armstrong and Aldrin went to measure the temperature, the original guesses were way off when in sunlight the temperature was a few hundred degrees but in shadow it was almost negative 300 degrees, making their predictions about temperature off by almost 100 in each direction. When they returned home with their moon rocks and their moon dust they collected, they got to examine all of their possessions…

The small kid rushed back home. He knocked on the door with his thin, small palm while holding his empty water bottle in the other hand. Quick heavy steps approached the door few seconds after he knocked on the door. “Thank God you are here,” Melissa shouted as she flung the door open and stopped it few millimeters before it hit the wall. As soon as she got a good glimpse of who knocked on the door, she left the grip of the door and rushed to the stairs to head back to her room. The boy managed…

In a way, Christopher supposed he was. Quietly, lowered himself beside his older sibling and cleared his throat. Andy turned to face him, and he nearly jumped out of his own skin from what he saw.

In the countryside, you…

Savagery. Hunger. Pain. Loss. War plagues the human condition in ways that no other experience can, understandably inspiring many authors through the course of human culture to set their story in the locale of war.
