《Ballet》Stretching
Advertisement
Stretching is so good for you. It is painful but it is a great way to condition your muscles and strengthen them. Flexibility is not my strong pointe for sure. Some girls are just naturally really flexible. The rest of us have to work hard and improve our flexibility. When I was little, I knew that stretching was good for me. Still, it hurt a lot. So I would tell myself constantly, "This feels good, this feels good." Even though it clearly didn't feel good. Now when I stretch I make sure to breath and try to relax. It's harder than you may think. You are in a uncomfortable inhuman position and your teacher tells you to relax. So what I do is I try to think about Reese's peanut butter cups. It helps to focus on something you like. Sometimes it works but I have gotten to a pointe that I kind of ignore the pain for the most part until I can't handle it. Anyway, have a great day and just keep dancing!! ~Mia

Armor Corps
The Nek'var Empire marches across the stars. Their ruthless campaign to purge all life from the galaxy has crushed a thousand years of peace. Fires rage in cities all across the Galactic Union. Their grand armies have been crushed, cities conquered. Nothing stands between a sweeping Nek'var victory but the battered remnants of a mauled fleet. If they fall, the galaxy falls with them. Meanwhile, humanity is an unknown power emerging from their little speck of space when they are inexplicably attacked by a powerful alien fleet, forcing the ever squabbling nations of Sol to form a grudging alliance in the face of annihilation. Corporal Erik Shields finds himself far from home, embroiled in a life or death struggle on the surface of a colony world known as MX-01, battling for humanity's future against a seemingly unstoppable force. But there is a glimmer of hope when Fleet engineers develop a miniaturized reactor core capable of fully realizing the power armor program's vast potential and a desperate mission is cobbled together to deploy the newly formed Armor Corps to the surface in hopes of defeating the enemy invasion. This is a tale of defiance in the face of annihilation, the soul-crushing horror of interstellar war, and the death of dreams.
8 91After the Long Burn
After the longest exodus in human history, a terrible accident threatens to turn the salvation of humanity into its most desperate struggle for survival. From the ashes of calamity rises a new human story. A frustrated scientist dedicates her life to recreating the Earth in alien soil, while another is gunned down for his sin and sets off a chain of events culminating in a desperate escape across the void for an opportunity at redemption. Around a distant moon a deep space miner stumbles onto a secret, the key to which lies buried inside his own tortured mind. After the Long Burn is an anthology of short science fiction stories set in the distant Ionad System. Author's Note: I thought I might try something a little different with this story. Rather than one story, it is six stories of varying length, each taking a slightly different perspective to tell a larger story. Some are more actioney, others more cerebral but I hope there will be something for everyone. Stories over 7000 words, with the exception of the titular After the Long Burn, will be published in two parts. I anticipate an upload schedule of one part every other day.

All the while Odin guides the future, preparing for the visions plaguing him for a millennium. A black-furred wolf, large like a mammoth, and a necromancer with green flames burning in his eyes would come for him. The battle's name would be Ragnarök and will end the world unless he claims victory by any means necessary.
