Here I am a senior in college and this science professor thinks we're all grade school kids. Writing a stupid report about Earth Day! This is the third year in a row we had to do it. I may be wrong here but I really don't give a crap. I want a clean environment as much as the next guy and to save the natural resources but I'm just a college kid trying to make it to graduation and find a job. I knew I had to get a good mark on this report so I went on the Internet to see what I could find...
Earth girls CBA Nicki was standing in front of a large mirror, checking to make sure everything was perfect. Her long black hair, that normally reached down to her lower back, was braided then piled up on top of her head and adorned with small white flowers pinned and interspersed through out. Her makeup was immaculately applied, highlighting her green eyes and her Cupid's bow lips. Looking down she could just see a small black and diamond choker that hung around her long elegant...
To begin, here is a brief explanation of what Earth Day is and when it began. Earth Day is one of two observances, both held annually during spring in the northern hemisphere, and autumn in the southern hemisphere. They're intended to inspire awareness of and appreciation for the Earth's environment. The United Nations celebrates an Earth Day each year on the March equinox, a tradition founded by peace activist John McConnell in 1969. Many countries celebrate a second Earth Day, founded in...

He was early for the Earth Day celebration. His nervousness always made him punctual. Instead of pacing and wearing out the carpet at home, he preferred getting in the car and driving to where he needed to go. The drive gave him something to do and the scenery calmed his nerves. He was nervous about attending his first Earth Day party and over visiting his girlfriend Lisa’s home for the first time. It’d be the first time he was ever in the home of a Native American Indian and he didn’t know...
Thanks I’d like to thank Mulligan for his assistance in turning this into a better story than my initial effort. Also thanks to the Swarm Universe authors group for their comments, corrections and ideas. Any errors remaining are of course mine. “Is everything ready?” Herbert Beard turned to the speaker and managed to smile in response, “Fred, when have I ever let you down?” His smile turned to a grin, “On second thought, don’t answer that, you’ll only bring up that blind date with your...
I'm an alien from Zeta Reticuli and I've lived here on Earth for sixteen years. I'm what Earth people call a "reptilian" species. But that has been no problem because I'm also a shape-shifter and can easily look human.My mission here is to study the Earth people; their ways; their politics; the religions, etc. but in my spare time I like to have sex with the very beautiful women here.And it's quite easy. In my human form, I'm seen as being very attractive and I use that fact to my advantage. I...
Gaia wandered through the dense forest. Her trees greeted her with their songs as the winds whipped through their branches. Her bare feet made no sound as it tenderly crushed the thick bed of dead and decomposing leaves from autumn. Her hand softly caressed an ancient oak that rose from the rich soil. She felt its life force coursing through the trunk as surely as any human could feel a pulse. This was her world. Spring had come once more and with it the life that she gave to all things. Life...
"So what are your plans tomorrow?" my mother asked while we ate dinner. "I don't have any plans," I replied. "And I'm not in the mood to go anywhere if that's what you're asking.""Well, my friends and I are going out to hike for Earth Day. Maybe you'd like to come for that? I'm sure the fresh air and a change of scenery would do you good.""Thanks for the offer, but like I said, I'm not in the mood..."She immediately gave me a serious look. "Oh, come on. Earth Day used to be our fun little thing...
“Whoa! Now who is THIS sexy beauty?” He asked Steven. His eyes were nearly popping out of his head as he absent mindedly wiped saliva from his gaping mouth. “Isn’t she something else?” Steven beamed proudly. “And get a load of these curves. To be honest, I used to spend hours caressing her in bed before going to sleep.” “I can see why.” Adam nodded in approval. “That’s basically every red-blooded man’s dream. Mind if I hold her?” “I don’t mind; just be careful. She requires a...

Earth Mother – The Ritual My name is Perl, and I belong to a community of Pagan’s. Even at my tender age of nearly sixteen and a half I have come into contact with other communities that do not follow our ways or join in with our rituals. We are a small community that live on the western isles of our mainland. We are true to our Pagan beliefs and celebrate them with vigour. Mabon is the Pagan ritual of thanksgiving for the fruits of the Earth and is a recognition of our need to share them....
How on earth would humanity be able to overcome these impossible odds? Sarah had a clue: she had caused severe damage to one of the monsters with just a regular flare gun. Why would such a low-powered weapon have such a dramatic effect? She was determined to find out. Was it the heat? The light? If only she could study their biology up close… but that was impossible. Her only choice was to attempt to gleam insights on the invaders by watching their depraved actions over the security camera...
Earth Remade Part 1 The woman lying on the table before me had been young, exceptionally fit, and spectacularly beautiful. She'd been perfect in every way. There was an unearthly beauty about her with her long dark brunette hair that cascaded from her head in waves, intense blue eyes, full lips, and a figure so wondrous that it defied description. Yet, for all her looks and seeming innocence, I despised her. She wasn't human at all. She was an alien facsimile. No one knows...
Chapter 1: Planning My wife Dhara and I had organized the Earth Day event over several months. I should say that she had done most of the work. All of the plans were in place well in advance, but we fine-tuned them often as a new idea crept into our minds, or an adjustment had to be made because of logistics or a change in need due to weather, erosion or any other reason. Plans always change when you are planning an outdoor project in Colorado in the spring. Our plan was to build a new trail...
Sarah collapsed to the grass with a wet thud, clutching at the stitch in her side. Her legs felt like jelly, her dry throat screamed out for liquids, and her chest was on fire from her large breasts widely bouncing during the run. She chastised herself for not wearing a sports bra, but then again, why would she have thought to wear one to class in the first place? She tried to reach her sore back to massage it, but she was too tired to apply ample pressure. She let out a frustrated sigh,...
The second in April, year 5785. Three o'clock in the afternoon. A line of eleven parked busses stretched to a bit over a hundred meters at the entrance to tunnel seventy seven from cave twenty five. Families from all over cave twenty five accompanied their eligible youngsters and saw them get on the busses. Approximately six hundred and forty participants were about to be sent from cave twenty five, this year. For the second consecutive year Zetsa volunteered as the representative...
Of Zushi's group of eight, the five boys walked barefooted in the shallow water of the river, less than a meter from the river's banks, where the three girls followed at the same pace. Zax turned his Soul Sense On and Off every ten minutes as if it was a light switch. If there were Earth's Cores in the river, his Soul Sense only enabled him to tell where they were not. One positive thing, which evolved from this tedious repetitiveness, was that little by little Zax got more used to the...
Staring at the rock he sat on, and then confirming yet again with his Soul Sense, a stupefied expression spread on Zax's face. A stash of Earth's Cores! A cluster of more than one hundred Earth's Cores! Some embedded in the rock, some underneath it. "Such a great number! At least one must be! At least one!" Among the so many Earth's Cores Zax nervously said to himself. "D ... D ... At least one golden pillow, D level Earth's Core!" The one in a million Earth's Core ... Was it...
Year 4925, seventy-five years before the new millennia, three humans made a blood oath for peace with two beasts, each side representing its own species. "Your prediction was right, Raroken". On the back of the giant dragon beast, Raroken, sat Raroma crossed arms. The two headed back to their tribe. "The three had the smell of other humans' blood when they arrived; apparently there were disputes over the offer..." "Human beings always the same, yet once in a while there are...
A hundred and thirty five centimeters. By unsheathing his resolve and going all out, Zax actually extended the reach of his Soul Sense's radius by an additional five centimeters. This achievement was far from expected, almost unprecedented. Not only his Soul Sense surpassed the reach of the common C level Mist User, Core Breaker, at the moment of his advancement, even at its current level, which in soul energy was equivalent to F level Mist User, it still was in its growing period. The...
Welcome home to earth, well maybe not your world, maybe major political events had occurred differently? Maybe Bernie had won the election, maybe Hitler had won the war, maybe Martin Luther King evaded assassination, maybe Kennedy told his secrets? There are plenty of facts which can diversify their world from ours, making them quite exotic after all. But you should explore them rather than have me ramble them you. So where do you begin, what historical fact bothers you most?
As the last moments of Warner's sojourn in the punitive quadrant tick away I miss him before he is gone. Prior to the unannounced arrival of his pretty stalker friend Parker, a Command officer, Warner was silly and often flirted with me. Now we don’t get a moment alone and Warner lets her stay with him in his guest-dom. The morning ends when the door of my dom slides open. Warner wears only a dark gray loxxet. It barely caches his intimates. “Parker took my clothes,” he explains, “when she went...
Gay MaleShe ran an exacerbated hand through her shoulder-length auburn hair before sliding it down to massage her protesting emerald eyes. She really didn’t feel like dealing with this today. Freshmen always had this side to them, but she had assumed the worst was behind her now that they were a couple months into the university's fall semester. “Haven’t you seen the news, professor?” Asked her star student, Zoey, as her ever-curious azure eyes suddenly bobbed up and peered at Sarah through...

A'luhr had been careless, and it had cost her. "No!" A'luhr heard the young male human, Steven, yell as she was thrown out the window by the loathsome thrall that had gotten the jump on her. She grimaced in pain from the whiplash on her leg as the tentacle released her, but she kept her wits about her; this was hardly the time to panic. She fell through the air and nimbly flipped around to control her descent before hitting the ground and deftly rolling forward to absorb the impact. She...
A breeze of refinement blew and passed in every reach of Zax's consciousness. The force of perfect completion originated from Zax's newly transformed soul. Deep within the soul itself, the embodiment of existence, the spirit, has taken the shape of a petrified, curled up ten years old boy. "Puah!" The boy opened his sealed mouth, releasing a breath of black particles. The small lifelike particles spun around the spirit and merged with the inward layer of Zax's soul. When the inside of...
The sound of the bell urged the students to get into their classrooms. It was about to be eight o'clock and tens of first graders, second graders and third graders sat in their places. It did not matter if you were the youngest five years old who just enrolled or the oldest nine years old that no one dared to mess with. All children knew that if one risked getting to class after the homeroom teacher, the whole class will be punished. Zax Zel lived in cave number twenty-five, a fairly big...
Waking up Zax was joyful to feel his mom's hand on his face and hearing her voice in the morning, even though the hand slapped him and the voice shouted. "Wake up, honey. Your lunchbox is on the counter". If she kissed him in the forehead and whispered softly Laylen was not his mother. That son of her would not wake up even during a Sun Stone storm, for him it will only be an excuse to skip school. "Get dress and go to school. I'll see you at four". She moved the curtain to allow light...
Before talking about how long it takes to a practitioner to master the third stage of the Radical Fiery Icy Provocation Qi refining technique, a word of warning must be said. From the four stages of this lurid technique, the third phase of the third stage is the most dangerous! Roughly one out of a one hundred thousand practitioners will have the natural affinity to practice and not suffer the disastrous consequences of this technique. So how long it takes to master the third stage?...
An hour after Don left the Three Generals' tent. "Big brother..." Second General and Third General said unanimously. "Be on your guard". First General respond. The Three Generals left their camp an hour ago and were already on the outskirts of camp three seventy-two. The short time it took them to reach the camp is a testimony to their unrivaled power in the UGNE's army. Sensing the two beasts' immense aura all Three Generals become tense, it was like a vast mountain and far more...
It took a year for the UGNE to finally accomplish the creation of a new weapon that surpasses in fire power the Beam Cannon and in close combat maneuvers the Thousand Blades Dancer. No Core Breaker or known formations were able match up to it and with that; the UGNE pushed back Kingdom Earth's forces with one and only drawback. The new S class weapon, suitable for long range and close range battles, "Victorious", operated only thirteen hours before the numerous formations could no longer...
"Don't force yourself, Zax, stop. You should take a break". In an incomplete apartment with dust all over and a two meters in diameter hole in the floor, an apartment in Zetsa's building, a Mor and her Tal were seated in a meditative position. A month and a half had passed since Zax's tenth birthday. The date for this year Great Earth's Core Pursuit has been decided and released to the public. This year the Great Earth's Core Pursuit will launch earlier than the year before, in the...
While Zax's body experienced convulsions as a result of the intolerable pain, his consciousness abandoned the three aspects for a place where none of them could influence him. Within the sea of his consciousness, in the center which was the most conclusive place of the soul, Zax was cuddling, or more properly, the spirit that was Zax Zell took the naked form of a ten years old boy, holding his folded legs close to his chest, submerged in a deep sleep. When the Brown Digger woke up, it was...
Eight months ago. Under the covers of his bed the small figure of eight years old Zax could be made as he lay, bitter. He was angry with his mom, angry with his dad, resentful toward Mr. Ogler, cursed half the kids in his school and hated himself. It was the outcome of a typical bad day for Zax, and he was currently grounded for fighting. Waiting to Dane with Serah near the school's gate at the end of the school day, to go back home together, four third graders passed them by with bored...
August thirty one, year 5784. Last vacation day. After much consideration, Marco and Laylen Zel arrived to the conclusion that it will be better to wait to after the Great Earth's Core Pursuit before enrolling Zax to a post Core School. For the past month they weighed the pros and cons of sending their young boy to a post Core School right after his vacation. It was a dilemma of many parents in Kingdom Earth. The fourth grade was unique. Unlike any other grade, although still legally...
"If I can't use my Qi, how, then, can I crack the shell of the Earth's Core?!" Zax shook his head; brushing away the intolerable thought that came into it. "You won't". Zetsa answered plain and simple. With just two words she dropped the anvil on half the fate her little brother had in her. "Arguing about it is pointless and won't bear any fruits no matter how much you'll try to bash your head for a way to unclog your Qi channels. Believe me, I tried, Zax". She said in a harsh,...
As a cultivator with body fitness level at the sixth gate of the Seven Stages Of Bodily Refinement, as long as he did not exercise and exhaust himself, Zax could stay awake and energetic for days and weeks. Early morning, when the Nightly Cover formation gradually deactivated and the cold air of the night condensed to refreshing dew, Zax stood in front the apartment building were Serah and her parents lived. At some point during the night Zetsa returned to help their parents since she was...
Zax sat with his mother and Liz for two hours, until his father came back home. At which point, his father's reaction was slightly less emotive than his mother, but still very much caring. With his father, Zax sat for an hour longer, discussing the teaching of his Master, the progress of his cultivation and expounding about the members of his Martial household, though not getting into deep details. Keeping it all in a human's simple perspective, yet still sounding bold and...
"You are very lucky, Martial son, had Hagen known that you are currently concentrating on comprehending the six bottlenecks of insight instead of cultivation the Seven Stages Of Bodily Refinement, she would have made you do nothing for a year's time, but trying to comprehend bottlenecks". Kartius chuckled. Zax and his Master left the blue tower and headed to Laivien's valley. "However, your actions are still in need of reprimanding". Kartius's tone changed to severe and his...
After eating the roasted fish and drinking their juices, the young Krikitories and little Liz played in the lake's water for a hour or so. Afterwards, Zax informed little Liz that she needs to go to sleep since tomorrow him and Anet are taking her back home. The next day, Kingdom Earth. "Did you have fun sweetheart?" Laylen asked little Liz in her hands. "Yes, mommy. Big sis Shulip made yummy fishies, here". She blew a warm breath on her mother's nose so she could smell the sweetness...
It was a long time before the whole story came out. The story, oft-clad in rumour and half-truth, of a minor disaster on a little-known stage. It was a story that became a cause célèbre for the proponents of Health & Safety. It is true that Questions Were Asked about the curious earth tremor. It is true that the dancer, Michael Michaelov (whom I knew as Mick), was directly involved. It is true that the Ballet was composed following revelations about the cruelty in one of Stalin’s Gulags. As...

IncestOn the way back from home to cave zero eight, Zax was torn with his decision to leave his family and friends, even though he stopped talking to them, for three years. When he saw his parents' eyes, Zax traced regret in them. It made him ask himself all the more what his big sister told them to make them agree to let him go. Ultimately Zax kept his questions buried in his wondering mind. 'Maybe', he came up with one possible solution. 'They chose to benefit of the doubt in their decision,...
I asked, "Mr. Thurston, what are your plans now that you have a few hours of safety?" "I don't know, Mr. Hillcrest. Before the disaster, we had a dairy and pig farm about seven miles west of town. Most of the stock was killed during the earthquake and fire, but we did save two cows and the bull. All of our pigs escaped, so we lost all of them. Since then, we have lived off hunting and scavenging, but some bastards chased us off what was left of our farm a week ago. Since then, we have...
Going along with his plan, Zax had a few things to fear from but each had the potential to end his endeavor. One was the nurse or the doctor, whichever she was. If she would awake up to see that he is not in the resting bed and alert the staff members and representative Guardians before he will enter cave zero thirty nine again then his plan will most likely fail. Second were the staff members that distribute the green time bracelets. If even one of them will notice that they are missing...
At the time of his dormancy, Zax's friends came to visit him on several occasions. Apart from those he grouped with in the Great Earth's Core Pursuit, only a handful of Zax's former schoolmates had visit him, but of the seven whom he got closer to during the event, each and every one of them came to visit him as often as he or she could. At the week that Zax woke up, Laylen and Marco invited his loyal and caring group of friends to surprise their dispirited son. It took a little effort...
"Each gate you break through marks your body fitness level. The swelling of the lowest gate indicates that your body is currently tackling the first level of bodily fitness, level F". "Level F?" Zax understood by the description of the level of each gate that he is heading toward the first level of a Mist User, but... "Master, how come it's like this if I never trained my body to surpass level G and H like with my soul and Qi?" "It's another difference that is due to the body's...
"Ah! Beneath the blue skies?!" Zax recited completely stunned. "What does that has to do with the differences between beasts and humans?" "That is something we beasts understood at the time of war between two species, but is actually related to an earlier event". Kartius began to explain in his own words. "We beasts have attempted to venture back to the world above the surface of the earth thousands of years ago. The few of us who ruled our species braved alone through the one path...
"Even within the Core Master level there are more levels?" Zax raised his head quizzically. Carl taught Zax that not all Core Masters are equals and that there is even a level higher than a "Core Master", but he did not think that the Core Master level consists of several levels of its own. Rather, Zax thought that the Core Master level is like every other level before it, made out of four phases. "You are incorrect ... Earth's Core holder, Core Breaker, Mist Master, Mist Lord and...
"A third realm expert?!" Zax exclaimed. "Girl ... Susuya, you are just an Earth's Core Holder, how can you so casually call someone a third realm expert? Are you even aware what a being in the third realm signifies? Please tell me that you simply heard the term 'Realm' from someone and trying to play a prank on me!" Zax refuted her statement the instant her words sunk to his mind. That she is his granddaughter and that superintendent Ten is a third level Core Master Zax could accept....
"Prepare yourself to greet Grandmaster, Martial son". Kartius repeated a last time and averted his gaze to the staircase. "Big brother, I'm sure that you know ... We are waiting for you here". He called and then straightened his black humanoid form. Seeing his Master getting tense up Zax mimicked him and fixed his posture. THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! ... Heavy hooves stomped stair after stair after stair with a dominating sound that reverberated through the room, to Zax's head...
"Let's go". Anet signaled to her friends to follow her out of the faculty building. Going to direction of the Advanced grade building, Anet explained. "Contrary to the name, the Summit is actually located underground the three grades buildings and the arrangement of all the different techniques corresponds to the grade of the building above its section. Also, being a Beginner grade students, Intermediate grade students or Advanced grade students doesn't mean that you can have access to...
With Karns's and Kardelion's death, the threat and irreconcilable enmity the two supreme experts had with Grandmaster Kartion and his household have also perished. Since that major battle and perpetual defeat of the household's enemies, four years have passed. Those four years marked a peaceful time for Zax and the people, and beasts, in his life, with several minor events and dealings. Beginning with Zax's Martial household, as the dust settled and no one was left to fight the...
The EarthquakeIt was just another weekday in Southern California. There was the usual morning commute to contemplate. John wondered why he continued to endure that day after day. He had moved to the suburbs to get away from the gangs, but the stress of fighting traffic left him exhausted when he got home. He really only had time for his family on the weekends and he knew that it was wreaking havoc on his marriage.Lisa was lucky to have found the condo in the trendy area of Manhattan Beach. Once...
If however you are looking for something like that, then enjoy. All characters are above the age of 18. They called it the worst earthquake in modern history. I called it the easiest hunting day ever. There’s something wrong deep inside me. Most people are well adapted and sociable for our modern world, and if they have bad thoughts then they disregard them. But I can’t disregard them. My brain is stuck in prehistoric times and is always thinking about how to take what it wants. If I don’t...
Except for a few dollars, none of these creeps had anything we wanted. Even their guns were not worth taking. We now had enough fuel to reach Cairo, so that problem was solved. Mostly, all we had to worry about now were pirates and snags from sunken vessels. It was strange to me that we had not seen any sign of government help moving to clean up the river. The Mississippi River was too important to ignore. We began to wonder if the disaster had been more than just an earthquake near us and...
