Dakota looked around at the flower arrangements that were surrounding her; she honestly couldn't decide on which flower arrangement to pick from since she would be visiting her father's grave.
"You look undecided; need some help?'" A familiar voice said.
She was still in Atlanta and decided to visit her father since he was buried here with his other relatives being her grandmother, grandfather and younger brother who died at age 5.
Dakota turns around seeing Dayvon standing there she brought him along cause she hasn't visited her father's grave since his funeral which was seven years ago. He was holding Noah in his arms while he tried slept peacefully.
"Hey baby, yeah they all look beautiful I want to get these pink Rose's but these tulips look gorgeous." She says admiring them.
"Get both." Von said.
She made this face but decided to grab both of the bouquets of flowers trying to find someone who worked there.
"What yo favorite flowers?" Von asked.
"You gonna buy me some flowers Mr. Bennett." She says with a smirk.
"Maybe if yo ass act right!" He said.
He walked behind her taking her hand in his biting his lower lip.
They walked up to the register and she placed the flowers ok the counter staring up at the older looking white man.
"Hello sir, I would like to get both of these bouquets please!" She says with a smile.
"Alright I'll get these wrapped up for you, just give me a moment." He says showing his pearly whites.
"Thank you!" She replied.
They watched as the man went somewhere else and came back with the wrapped flowers ringing them up before handing the bouquets back to her.

"That'll be $25.56!" He replied.
"I'll get it." Von says.
She opened her arms to get her son but Von held onto him while pulling out cash.
"His grave still looks the same, a bit dirty but still the same." Dakota says before placing the flowers.
"You good gang?" Von asked.
She turned around half-smiling visiting people's gravesite always gave her a bad sense but she knew people who were no longer on this earth were at peace an not suffering.
"I'm fine, I just haven't visited his grave in seven years it brings back alot of memories." She said.
"You right. Dat yo pops though so dat pain hit different." Von said while looking over at Noah.
Noah was awake from his long nap he had taken earlier and, was energetic wanting to get into stuff, an knowing Dakota she was not in the mood to be chasing after his crawling behind.
"You ready to go?" Dakota asked.
"If you ready?" He responded staring at her.
They both shared a long stare before departing the graveyard, heading towards his car. Once they got situated inside and on the road Dakota was typing on her phone texting Xaria and Tania in a group chat with a couple other friends they knew from highschool.
Me
Y'all a mess. But yeah we need to step out an stunt on hoes!
"Who we textin?" Von asked.
Dakota started to laugh while giving him a side eye.
"We" boy this my phone and for your information I'm texting Tania and some other people about when I get back." She says shutting her phone off.
"Why you shut yo phone off like dat ain't gon go through yo shit!" He said with his right hand on the steering wheel.

"Mhmmm I don't know that sir you look like the type." She responded looking at him.
Dayvon made a stop at the gas station before heading home, He parked his car looking over at Dakota wanting to know if she wanted anything.
"You want something?" He asked.
"You can get me a peace tea peach flavored please and some sour patch kids please." She says with a smile.
He smiled and leaned in to give her a kiss on the lips.
"He's been sleep all day." She says.
"Yeah he had a long day I guess." He said looking over at Noah.
He watched as Dakota placed Noah on the couch beside her as she looked back at him with a smile.
"You know I'm leaving tomorrow right?" She says while moving a piece of her hair behind her ear.
"Why u leavin though why can't u stay gang?" He says.
"Are you getting soft on me my guy." She says with a chuckle.
"Nah, I ain't gettin soft. Imma just miss you." He said.
"Awww you getting soft!" She says smiling.
He made this face shaking his head.

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.

Tabula Rasa : An Unbound Adventure
It starts as many things do: a clean slate, an empty page. What once was set in stone and wholly writ is gone, and all that's left is the vague notion of absence, a fullness lacking.The feeling of being tetherless, pathless, without direction or responsibility is something many would find terrifying. Others might find it freeing - an opportunity to strike out on new adventures and explore the unknown.Either way, first they have to figure out where they are and how they leave. ====== My first novel on this platform! An avid GameLit/LitRPG fan, I decided to start writing this when I seemed to exhaust all of my options for well reviewed content on the site! Inspiration for the world/general feeling is a mix of Azarinth Healer, Abyssal Road Trip, Winterborn, and the Power of Ten series, with a strong reliance on 3.5 and PF1 frameworks as a scaffold for the world. I see Arc 1 as a Robinson Crusoe style coming to terms scenario, lots of exploration of the System, the MC's options, the island and encounters with the denizens and visitors of the Timeless Isle, with a non-zero amount of introspection around their long term goals. I'll publish as frequently as I'm able but don't have a regular cadence planned at the moment.
