So I really love to write short stories, but I never feel confident enough to share them so comment and give me advice!

Beep Beep! I groggily rubbed my eyes and checked the time, 8:13, way too early for a Saturday. Oh well, I won't be able to fall back asleep now that the rays of the early mourning sun trickled into my bedroom. I picked up my phone, I had gotten a text from an unknown number it read:

C u soon my little angel- Dad

Must be a wrong number, I thought, my dad died when I was little. I don't remember him and I live alone with my mom. I just shrugged it off and got ready for the day.

I was still brushing my long brown hair as I walked down the stairs to the kitchen. "Mmmm Mom, that bacon smells delicious, is there some for me?" I entered the kitchen to the aroma of a homemade breakfast.

"Of corse Amber, I also made pancakes! Come sit down at the table with me." I helped her bring the food to the table and we both sat down to eat.

"This food is delicious Mom, what made you want to make such a big breakfast?"

She looked around nervously, "Can't I make a breakfast without you thinking there's some ulterior motive?!" She laughed and I smiled, I still had a feeling something was up.

I was right.

"Okay Amber you got me, I do have news and you're not going to like it." I raised and eyebrow as if to say 'okay what is it?' "We're moving away, again."

"WHAT?" I shouted as I stood up, "I thought you said we were going to finally settle down!"

Mom sighed, "I know what I said but I found a job in New York that I can't deny."

"So we're moving across the country for a job again? Why can't we just live in one place for over a year? I'm in High-school  now, it's already hard enough for me to make friends without being the new kid all the time." I stormed out of the kitchen up into my room slamming the door behind me.

***********************************************************

That night I had a very strange dream, I was in a bedroom that was on fire. I was a baby in a crib and I couldn't get out. Suddenly a man entered the room and came over to pick me up. He looked into my eyes and said with a frown, "You should have never been born, now the witches are angry and you must die," he began to pick me up but was struck from behind, he got up and turned around to see my mother. She took a burning piece of wood and struck him across the face with it. When she was sure he was dead she picked me up and ran out the door.

***********************************************************

I woke up sweating, it was 1:32 in the mourning and was still dark. My mom burst in the room, "I heard you scream," she panted, "are you okay?"

I burst out crying as I told her about my dream, she just sighed and sat on my bed. "I guess it's time I told you the story of your father. So about 20 years ago your father, Andrew was a part of some sort of group. The men of the group served these witches who provided them with wealth and safety, but they were to be married to one of the witches. Andrew didn't want to marry them so he left. We met a few years later, got married and had you. When you were still young something happened to Andrew, he started to act strange saying, the witches are angry the girl must die. I got scared when he tried to kill you with a steak knife so I took you and ran. I stayed with a friend for a while until Andrew found us and set the house on fire. Your dream was a memory of him trying to kill you. I've been on the run from him ever since."

I was silent for a few minutes, this was a lot to soak in at once, "I'm going to go take a walk." Mom nodded and I got up and left.

It was still dark out as I walked down the street, None of the steetlights were on and no one was around. My head was spinning with so many questions, where is he now? Will he hurt my friends? Then it hit me, the text was from my dad, he's here! I turned and started to run back to the house to tell mom but I ran into a man. As I got back on my feet and rubbed my head I started to apologize, "I'm so sorry sir, I-" I looked up at his face and gasped, "Dad?"

Well that's part 1, please tell me what you think. I'll have Part 2 up soon!

By Ben Haugmo

In the world of Innistrad, the state of affairs has always been grim. Human settlements struggle to hold back an ever-present darkness in the form of vampires, werewolves, ghosts, ghouls, and demons. The only hope against these supernatural threats has been Innistrad’s guardian, the archangel Avacyn. At least things couldn’t be any worse, right? Out of the frying pan…

This week marks the prerelease for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game’s new set, Eldritch Moon. Paradox Comics-N-Cards will be hosting events all weekend, allowing players to get an early taste of the new cards that will be officially released next weekend, and an early taste of how things have gone from bad to worse for Innistrad.

Richard Early opened Paradox the summer that Magic was first published, back in 1993. He started running Magic game nights and tournaments soon after trying the game out for himself, and he believes prereleases are a good way for both the Magic old guard and new players to come together and enjoy the game.

“It's perfect,” said Early, “whether you are a first-time player or a 20-year veteran, because each person receives a unique kit containing booster packs of Eldritch Moon and a promo card exclusive to the event.

“Normally in Magic, players can use their collections to build decks and participate in tournaments, but at a prerelease, everyone is limited to the contents of those kits, leveling the playing field for all involved as well as challenging everyone's imagination and Creativity.”

Prerelease events are also low on competition. “It's not about winning and losing,” said Early, “it's about playing cards for the sake of playing cards and celebrating the gaming hobby. There are prizes offered for wins, but there is no ultimate prize so the competition level is low and instead it's all about the experience.”

The story of Magic: The Gathering centers around interdimensional-traveling magic users called Planeswalkers. In playing the game, each player takes the role of a rival Planeswalker battling for supremacy over different worlds, summoning creatures and casting spells to achieve victory.

The original Innistrad set premiered in 2011, introducing players to a world designed specifically with classic horror tropes in mind. Werewolves, vampires, and all flavors of zombie ran rampant, and the setting proved to be popular enough to merit a return.

Shadows Over Innistrad, released in April of this year, brought players back to Innistrad to find the world afflicted by a growing madness. Even the world’s guardian, Avacyn, was affected, plummeting the powerful archangel into a murderous frenzy.

With the coming of Eldritch Moon, Avacyn has been destroyed, lowering Innistrad’s defenses and allowing the source of the madness to arrive on Innistrad and wreak new horrors.

The Eldrazi titan Emrakul, a world-devouring cosmic entity, has been lured to Innistrad to fill the void left in Avacyn’s absence.

With new horrors come new mechanical innovations. Emrakul has the power to warp living things into lesser Eldrazi spawn, twisted servitors and extensions of her will. This is represented on the new cards in several ways, the most dramatic of which is the new meld mechanic. When the original Innistrad set was first released, it introduced double-faced cards to Magic. A double-faced card could be put into play and then flipped over when certain conditions were met, “transforming” it into something new. The best example of this are the werewolf cards that were prevalent in the set, switching from human to beast and back again, depending on how the game was played. Meld adds a new twist to double-faced cards, letting two different cards “merge together” when they’re flipped over. The two original cards are flipped, and then placed together to form the larger melded card.

The unlucky victims of this aspect of Emrakul’s influence range from two of Avacyn’s angelic subordinates to the entire population of a small village.

The introduction of meld means that it could appear in other Magic sets, allowing the theme of two opposites merging to represent themes other than Emrakul’s gruesome transformations.

“Meld is an awesome idea,” said Early. “It's an exciting way to combine cards that I think will really excite players, especially casual fans. It give the game the opportunity to create more powerful monsters and spells than we've ever seen bycombining cards you've already played. The idea of different characters combining into one powerful construct is common throughout pop culture animation and movies and I think will resonate really well.”

Paradox will be running both sealed-deck tournaments, where players construct cards from random booster packs and play one-on- one, and “two-headed giant” sealed tournaments in which teams consisting of two players can face off.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about prerelease events and kits?

answer: Prerelease events give players the opportunity to participate in gameplay focused on imagination and creativity. The kits players receive at these events include booster packs of Eldritch Moon and a promo card exclusive to the event. Meld is an exciting new mechanic introduced in Eldritch Moon.

text: Meld is irrelevant to the question.

refinement: Prerelease events give players the opportunity to participate in gameplay focused on imagination and creativity. The kits players receive at these events include booster packs of Eldritch Moon and a promo card exclusive to the event.

text: The answer omits that one of the most important aspects of prerelease events is the leveling of the playing field between veterans and newcomers. The events are also more focused on playing and less on winning.

refinement: Prerelease events give players the opportunity to participate in gameplay focused on imagination and creativity. The kits players receive at these events include booster packs of Eldritch Moon and a promo card exclusive to the event. This levels the playing field between veterans and newcomers, allowing for an event focused more on playing and less on winning.

answer: At prerelease events, players receive booster packs of Eldritch Moon and a promo card specific to the event. These kits are designed to level the playing field for new and veteran Magic players alike. The primary goal at prerelease events is a fun experience rather than winning or losing. Meld is a new mechanic introduced for Eldritch Moon, which allows for combining of two pieces of the same card to create something new.

refinement: At prerelease events, players receive booster packs of Eldritch Moon and a promo card specific to the event.

answer: At the prereleases, those who attend are given a kit. This means that there will be no previous collections to build decks and participate with. Everyone is limited to their kit, which levels the playing field and challenges both new and old players alike.

text: The answer omits that the event is focused more on playing the cards for fun rather than winning.

refinement: At the prereleases, those who attend are given a kit. This means that there will be no previous collections to build decks and participate with. Everyone is limited to their kit, which levels the playing field and challenges both new and old players alike. The event thus focuses more on playing for fun rather than winning.

answer: Prerelease events give players the opportunity to play early versions of cards not yet on sale to get an idea of the game's direction while engaging in a whole new unique experience. Players receive a unique kit containing booster packs of Eldritch Moon and a promo card exclusive to the events. Typically, players would use their collections to build decks and participate in tournaments, but those are only available in prerelease kits. In a prerelease event, players build their decks with the booster packs and promos, playing with the same deck for a much lower competition level.

text: The entire answer is either misleading or confusing. Sometimes it's self-contradictory. The answer must be re-written.

refinement: At the prereleases, those who attend are given a kit. This means that there will be no previous collections to build decks and participate with. Everyone is limited to their kit, which levels the playing field and challenges both new and old players alike. The event thus focuses more on playing for fun rather than winning.

answer: Prerelease can be a good way for Magic players to come together. The players are a mix of newbie and veterans of the game. The origin of the game started when a person named Richard Early opened a retail store that also hosted game sessions for Magic. Writer should also buy all their magic game kits from the store. This version of prerelease is different from the others because the kits contain booster packs from the current set, Eldritch Moon, and a promo card. It's all about getting out there to play magic and celebrate the gaming hobby. The competition is low enough and the experience prevails, which means the magic players are just looking to get out there, play cards and have fun.

text: Almost all of the answer is wrong or irrelevant, sometimes made-up. It needs to be re-written.

refinement: At the prereleases, those who attend are given a kit. This means that there will be no previous collections to build decks and participate with. Everyone is limited to their kit, which levels the playing field and challenges both new and old players alike. The event thus focuses more on playing for fun rather than winning.

IT'S PART OF A JOURNALIST'S JOB TO KEEP TRACK OF AWFUL EVENTS. BUT STORIES ABOUT RICKETY BOATS CRAMMED WITH MIGRANTS CAPSIZING IN THE MEDITERRANEAN OCCUR WITH HORRIBLE FREQUENCY. FOR ONE SOMALI JOURNALIST READING THE NEWS THAT hundreds of people drowned IN ONE SUCH DISASTER ON MONDAY, IT WAS ONE STORY TOO MANY.

Abdinur Mohamed Ahmed decided to do something. He decided to create a campaign to persuade his fellow Somalis not to give their money to people traffickers and instead to stay and help rebuild their war torn country.

So Abdinur, who is based in the Somali capital Mogadishu, started tweeting using the hashtag #DhimashoHaGadan, which literally translated means "don't buy death."

Abdinur told BBC Trending "The whole notion of this hashtag was to discourage people from emigrating to Europe through these perilous journeys."

The hashtag rapidly became popular in Somalia. Some used it to highlight reasons why young Somali people might want to leave.

According to the United Nations around 15% of Somali citizens were living abroad last year. There are many reasons why people would want to go. A horrific drought means that an estimated 40% of the population are thought to be in need of humanitarian assistance.

The UN-backed Somali government remains fragile despite the support of African Union troops. Al-Shabab, an Al-Qaeda affiliate, has been waging an armed insurgency in Somalia for years. It frequently stages attacks in Mogadishu and other cities, and still controls many rural areas in southern Somalia.

Despite the security situation Abdinur has never considered leaving.

"In the last 12 months I have survived two suicide attacks and I have never decided to leave for security reasons. Death is everywhere, suicide attacks happen in Paris, everywhere… There's no reason to leave this country because of insecurity," he told Trending.

Abdinur is worried about the impact large scale emigration could have on the future of Somalia: "If we leave this country because of insecurity or unemployment, who will change this country? Who will make this country a peaceful place to live?"

He also told Trending that he believes reality of life in Europe does not match expectations. One of his relatives left for Europe last year and calls him to tell him how unhappy he is.

I got in touch with Abdinur's relative on Whatsapp and he told me, "Life in Europe is not as easy as you might think right now. Language barriers, low paid jobs and lack of documents are the main hurdles to integration. We feel we've entered an open air prison. I am a professional nurse and I could have done so much for my country and my people. But Sweden does not need my skills. I need to start from scratch."

Abdinur also told BBC Trending he feels there's a false impression created on social media about how good life is in Europe.

"He posted several pictures which can persuade friends to go there too," he told BBC Trending. "I told him to take him down, he understands how dangerous it is."

NATHALIE DJURBERG (born 1978 in Lysekil) is a Swedish video artist who lives and works in Berlin.

Life and work

Djurberg is best known for producing claymation short films that are faux-naïve, but graphically violent and erotic.[1] Their main characters, as described by The New York Times, “are girls or young women engaged in various kinds of vileness: from mild deception, friendly torture and oddly benign bestiality to murder and mayhem.”[2] The films are accompanied by music by Hans Berg. She began making her own unique style of Claymation in 2001 and in 2004 she worked closely together with Berg to make narratives rich with symbolism that also often had humorous aspects to it.[3]

Natalie Djurberg's artistic animations introduce the viewer into a world of miniaturized, disfigured, mutilated and often grotesque animals. The human beings are transformed into caricatured figures. Some of Djurberg's notable works are: _New Movements in Fashion_ (2006), _The natural Selection_ (2006), _Turn into Me_ (2008), _I Found Myself Alone_ (2008) and _Hungry, Hungry Hippoes_ (2007).[4]

Djurberg's works have been shown at Performa 2007, at Tate Britain (2007), at the P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in New York (2006) and at the Berlin Biennial of Contemporary Art (2006). They were also featured at solo shows at the Kunsthalle Wien (2007) and at Färgfabriken in Stockholm (2006). In 2008, she exhibited both installations and films at the Fondazione Prada in Milan.[5] Djurberg was awarded the Silver Lion for a Promising New Artist at the Venice Biennale in 2009.[6] In 2011, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis organized and exhibited _The Parade: Nathalie Djurberg with Music by Hans Berg_, which traveled to the New Museum in New York (2012) and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco (2012–2013).[7][8]

In 2012 at the new museum Djurberg’s installation included life-size sculptures of over eighty birds: pelicans, flamingos, turkeys, eagles, a dodo, and a snowy owl. These large pieces were made of wire, foam, silicone, painted fabric, and clay. The birds were depicted raising their wings, twisted their necks, and groomed each other. Many of them opened their mouths ferociously.[9] In 2020, her “Crocodile, egg, man”, created together with Berg, sold for 16,3 million SEK, a record sum for a contemporary Swedish work of art.[10]

Nathalie Djurberg is represented by Giò Marconi and Lisson Gallery.

Education

From 1994 to 1995, Djurberg received a Basic Art Education from the Folkuniversitetet in Göteborg. She attended the Hovedskous Art School in Göteborg from 1995 to 1997. During Djurberg’s schooling in Hovedskous she primarily focused on painting. Her painting skills are proven with the way her plasticine figures are modeled – her prowess gives her figures gestural expressionism.[11] Djurberg received her Master's degree from Malmö Art Academy in 2002.

You hear about it all the time now, I mean, people just started disappearing. Kids first. Easy targets I guess. You'd hear stories about girls who disappeared in the woods of Maine. Inner-city kids, vanishing. All over the place. Just gone.

We knew. I mean deep down, we did. Something in our psyche expressed it in our culture. Subtle shit, movies where children were possessed or disappear. Slenderman, I guess, was I guess the big one for a while, but that was years ago. Back before shit really started to get bad.

My name is Ian. The reason I know about this stuff, about what's really going on, is because when my daughter was nine she was taken from me. Not by some monster, not by some disease or accident. If only she was so lucky. She was taken by the government. She was taken from me and experimented on and now, I don't even know. Okay, let me tell you how it all started.

Actually, I can't really tell you how it started, the law books have been locked up a long time now, decades. But I can tell you what I think happened. You know those laws, the big ones, the long motherfuckers that nobody spends the time reading. Well. Shit started getting added in, bit by bit, stripping us of our rights. Nothing horrifying at first. No big jumps, nothing drastic, and like a bunch of frogs in hot water we just sat there and took it. Like we were the lucky ones in the Jacuzzi.

She was eligible. That's the word they used: "Eligible." Like she was the luckiest kid in school because we were allowed to pay for healthcare. You know, she was never really all that sick. That's the fucking thing. Just a little cough, never bad, and she had really dry skin. God, she hated that, she just wanted to have nice skin. She'd see the pictures of these beautiful models, and she'd come home from school and tell me that one day that was going to be her. She wanted to look like that.

She had the prettiest smile too. I'll never forget that, must have been pretty much the best damn thing in the world.

But you don't know the stuff they do. You get there, and it's this beautiful facility and the people at the desk are exceptional. And they take your picture and you get this slick looking white card. On every one I've ever seen these people have these smiles. Like there isn't anything that could go wrong with the world. The kind of smile that says "Okay, I'm here. I made it. I finally made it." and we wait, and we wait, and we wait. and when they finally do see us they won't let her see the doctor with me in the room, because I wasn't "eligible."

And she looked at me, with this little scared, sad smile. And gave me this little nod. Like it was all going to be okay, because she was going to be brave. And the door slid closed. And that's the last time I ever really saw my Anna.

"What a waste of time." The apathetic voice rattled my conscience as I stood gazing upon the grave of whom such thoughts originated. I was unsure if the sentiment was born out of my memories of Walter while he was alive or the ground itself. Either way, I suppose I was looking for answers to questions I hadn't yet conceived and these five words made me question my presence here tonight.

"Seems appropriate a dead guy would caution the living about time," I replied to precisely no one. The cold night gathered these words inches from my face in a white cloud before they disappeared, along with the ambition that drove me three hours to my late friend's final resting place. Walter responded with a question.

"Why didn't you just tell me?" A valid inquiry. It was at this moment I understood that tonight was not about my questions. Tonight was about providing answers, which I owed Walter even in his death. I took a seat in order to be closer to my dear friend.

"It wouldn't have made a difference." A cop-out. It would have made all the difference. I suppose Walter already knew this. He did not question me to seek information; he questioned me because, even as a corpse, he understood I needed to come clean.

I sat with my eyes closed awaiting a response that never came. After a few minutes I sat up and didn't even bother brushing myself off. The flashlight that led me from my car to Walter's grave with such precision flickered for a few seconds before shutting off completely. Despite this inconvenience my memory was able to lead me back, and I hoped it would serve this function again someday.

Walter was right. What a waste of time.

text:
We left the club hours ago and I can still feel the wave of the beat. The perfectly synchronized rush to explosive electronica heaven is building in the sound system of my mind - again. And again.

The chemicals are slightly wearing off so as I tip out of the cab, I fumble in my back pocket for the crushed pack of cigarettes, find the next hapless victim, cradle her in my lips and light up. I have no idea how I'm even standing but I skillfully negotiate against the refrigerated wind and as the relieving foul tasting heat crackles from the suction into my lungs, my head begins to spin - or spin faster really - and I take off again helplessly laughing at the non-existent idiosyncrasies of everyone around me.

Is there anyone around me?

The burning rum purchased at the airport lounge is nauseatingly dancing its way through my digestive system.

Sunglasses on and sleepless, I sidle past the smiling strangers in row 31 and slump into seat A.

The moment my forehead touches the cold glass, my fever subsides. Soon the chill becomes unbearable but I can't move. I'm too high to sleep. All I want to do is tap my feet to the quiet roar of the engine, wedge my face against the window. And stare.

It's a 3 hour flight from New York to Chicago and beaming through the thin haze - how many feet below us? 20,000? 30,000? - lies god's ice tray.

Neatly separated by the fences of past disputes and lawsuits yet to be settled, last night's snowfall purposefully shimmers in random and infinite directions.

Naturally vying for the attention of the other passengers - a standard fair of middle aged business travellers, pretend writers and holiday makers - the world outside cannot compete with the opportunity of a guilt free break from the kids. Or with the - soon to be discarded forever - typing. Or even with the Adam Sandler movie being shown for the 50th first time. Most of the shades are down.

As we chase the sun, stalling its escape behind the horizon, I see another plane frozen in the sky slightly ahead of us, beating us, indifferently flaunting the majesty of the parallel streams in its trail.

Like a yawning peacock, fanning its tail at cooing tourists, it casually gives permission to stare at how effortless it is to be graceful and humble and beautiful.

"Why don't you be beautiful too? Can't you see how easy I make it look?

Now eat my dust."

This is not a race.

There are no television cameras or radio commentators or photographers secretly hoping for a career making collision. No one is cheering along for victory.

Well....

Not on my flight anyway.

But I reckon that's because we're losing.
