“Rainbow Days by Stewart Stafford

They make us live in monochrome,
Autoerotic under a mirrored dome,
Regurgitating back this non-entity,
Inside I scream it's the death of me.

In between bouts of colon screening,
Rainbow days in a third eye's gleaming,
Silence a throbbing executioner's drum,
Brass muffling the demagogue's hum.

Shattered manacles I'm going to see,
As I'm leaving this world for infinity,
Christen horror hurricanes after me,
On submerged planet earth, Terra-Firma-On-Sea.

This classroom, and everything that happens inside it, once seemed big and important. Now it all seems silly and insignificant. I try to pay attention, because we’re supposed to, but my mind can’t focus on the present. It’s too busy thinking about the future. A future where every life in this room is in jeopardy.”
― J.W. Lynne, Above the Sky

faster than us, stronger than us, and when there’s more than one you’ve got next to no chance, which is why we have to—’
‘What do they do once they find you?’
His dark eyes fixed on mine, the bad one open just a crack.
‘They feed.”
― Emma Lord, Anomaly

“There is a paradigm shift. A moebius space, time a ball, I, a bed of nails. I sleep a dreamless sleep, and the others sleep with me. Then, there is a light from all around, its source intangible, its touch the lifting of a blanket in a fridge.”
― David G. Csontos, Earthbound

“What I don’t understand is why no one in the Remains seems to bat an eye at the fact that Innovators chose not to participate.”
“Rich people have options. We don’t,” Tee screeched.
“Don’t seem fair.”
“A lot of things ain’t fair. You ain’t no baby, Jax. You know that already.”
“I know that, but I figured that in the Remains there was supposed to be,” he paused, thinking of the right words. Jax twisted his lips on his face. “Fairness.”
“You ain’t that stupid,” Tee laughed.
“What you mean?”
“Ain’t nothing fair,” Tee pointed out. “We live in the Remains and there is a tenth of the world population in space heading for God knows where. They put in plans long before the flash. Right? They are heading toward...trying to terraform planets but we aren’t in the loop. We didn’t get no choice in that. That wasn’t fair. Why ain’t you talking about that?” Tee said, moving her head left to right and poking out her lips.”

“There is no instant anything. Overnight success is a lie. That lie is just one of many lies that youth want to believe, even though it’s not true. No one walks onto the field and dominates on the first day. That is not possible. Popularity, fame, riches are illusions. Being popular is short-lived. Fame is here today and gone tomorrow. Riches diminish. Being reliable, consistent, trustworthy those are things that people remember.”
