I strap myself into the time travel device, uncertain whether it will operate according to the inputs I have set or if it will malfunction and temporally transport me to some unknown time in the past or future. There is little time to contemplate such worrying possibilities, as the appointed hour grows nearer by the…

I sit at my desk, quivering with rage, fear, or anticipation, I cannot tell. I am preparing to take an unprecedented action, unheard of in all my years in the highlight business. My phone sits in front of me. I pick it up, and, resisting the urge to throw it out the window, I dial…

“Dear diary, It lightens my heart greatly to see that, with warmth finally gracing the harsh lands of Minnesota once again, that the accumulated dunes of the cursed white sand are melting away from the ground.

Driving home from a well-earned win over the Jazz, Marreese Speights was struck by a sudden wave of nausea.

Evan Turner smiled at the little girl who was the next in line to get his autograph. “Hi little lady. What’s your name?” Evan asked. “Sammy!” The girl announced proudly.
