The Orb

Orbis Tertius and The Garden of Forking Paths. Within Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius, Borges introduces the question of metaphysical time and reality by recounting the events surrounding the mysterious land of Uqbar and its lore surrounding Tlon- the third orb. On the other hand, The Garden of Forking Paths questions the knowledge of the universe and linear time as current scientific exploration knows, familiarizing the reader to the idea of ‘forking paths’, multiple timelines that converge,…

Alabama, Old Cahawba apparently presents reverberations of adolescents being humorous. Meanwhile, in the upper Northern section of the state, a mansion that is named Sweet Water Mansion, with a not so sweet story; such as numerous photographs full of orbs, and lots of arsons. The rest are all hoaxes, these “hauntings” are credible,…

however and walk them up the isle to the alter “We have been working with Loki the Norway of our country” He scoffed. “You know I am the most dangerous person in my world. People listen to me people are scared of me” He sighed looking up at the golden orbs. “Then I get around you and I’m-” He stopped looking down. “Is that bad” Feliciano asked stepping forward. Luciano shrugged shaking his head. “I don’t know” The red head looked down bangs hanging in his face. Luciano sighed unlatching…

comes to claim its own? He drowns in a quagmire of guilt, haunted by the faces of his squad who had perished. Every day he lives again, his never-ending war. Each horror experienced carries him further and further away from his Ellie. When strange orbs of light floated through his home, he thought he had gone stark raving mad. Someone told him they were the souls of those who once lived, those now trapped in his sphere of reality. Were they stuck in time with a task unfinished? What was their…

They unlocked the door, even more slowly, and let Margot out. Time slowed to a crawl as they stared at her, their faces as pale as her own. She was sitting, legs tucked under her, tears streaming down her hollow cheeks, staring at the door it’s color long washed away because no one had cared. Trembling, she stood, gazing into their eyes and asked in a ghost of a voice, “Did it?” “No,” they said, but they averted their eyes and did not fight as she slowly got up and made her way through the…

was cast down when Satan rebelled against God. Personally, I believe that both good and evil angels can take the form of light Orbs, as they travel through our reality. These angels, good and bad, God created them as the same type of supernatural being. The description provided by the Prophet Ezekiel, (Ezekiel 1:15-21) thousands of years ago perfectly describes the orbs that a few people are witnessing today.

Riley is 11 years old. According to Erikson’s psychosocial development stages, she is determining her industry vs. inferiority. Children in this stage typically learn independence, or in other words, how to do things on their own. Teachers begin to take an important role in the child’s life, since they teach the child specific skills. In the movie, Riley’s new teacher asks her to perform a task, more specifically, to stand up and talk about her life before she moved. Riley listens to her because…

Dark Souls II contains all five determinability types. When the player dies it always happens the same way. Therefore, player death is deterministic. The death loop always happens the same way. Death in Dark Souls II is one of the major feedback loops in the game. The player is reduced to zero health, becomes hollowed, drops all souls being carried, a bloodstain is left where the player died at, and then respawns at the last visited bonfire. The player then can go retrieve their lost souls…

W.B. Yeats once said, “The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” Walking up the stairs, through the window I could see an orb of light in the forest start to shine, and a wood nymph revealed itself. “The forest has sent me to you today, let’s heal the rabbit and I’ll be on my way”. Immediately I ran down the stairs of my house ready for an adventure. Grabbing the injured rabbit I bolted toward the light that had started to flicker. Reaching the edge…

listens to what other have to say because he appreciates others thought process, he even forces himself to listen. The sixth example is “ It is no small matter, this round and delicious globe moving so exactly in its orb forever and ever” (line 13). The symbols of circular objects or orbs convey the message that despite our efforts to question each single concept that we have faced, our universe has continued its cycle no matter what. The seventh example is “ I do not think it was made in six…
