The hacker could strip a corporate server in eleven seconds and had not left a trace in thirty years of work that technically did not exist.

The two elderly women had argued across the fence about everything for thirty years, and when one of them got sick, the other showed up every morning to water her garden without being asked.

Neither of them mentioned it, which was how they'd always preferred to agree.

The gladiator had won two hundred fights and the crowd loved him for it.

She constantly called the HOA about my slightly long grass, yet I kept offering to walk her elderly dog Milo when she worked late.

​

The Earth still loves us

The Earth still loves us. Despite all the damage we do to it, it still takes care of us.

My example: I’m from a small southern city in Ukraine, and we used to see snow maybe for two hours a year. Sometimes for two days, but on different days. Basically, during all my conscious childhood, we didn’t really have snow in winter.

But after the full-scale invasion, it was March, and we didn’t have enough water. We would have run out of it if, for the first time in six years, it hadn’t snowed for a week and a half.

We collected that snow and boiled it over a fire so we could have water.

After that, for a long time, water was flowing through the pipes. Not the safest water, but during war you don’t get to be picky.

I never thought about it before, but it feels like the planet somehow knew and took care of its children, making sure we at least had water.

Pulse pounding, he stood up from his chair so fast it fell over as he grabbed the girl and hit her as hard as he could.

The chicken nugget she had been choking on flew out of her mouth onto the plate, and he comforted her, rubbing her back as she cried, her airway finally clear.
