Life will find a way
One cocoon twitches; my screaming must have disturbed it. It’s followed by a sound like the shaking of a cobra’s tail. A dry rattle sends a shiver down my spine. The rest of the cocoons respond the same way, as if communicating with one another; the cave fills with rattling. The glow becomes stronger as they vibrate and bathes the cave floor in an eerie blue light.

Sacrifices For The Balance Chapter 10: Two Meetings, Two Very Different Groups
The SUV pulled up to the gate just outside the headquarters of the Double L Bar Ranch. The ranch had long stopped ranching, and had become the corporate headquarters of the company. While there were still cows on the land, it was a small herd for show purposes. The land itself was mostly a wildlife sanctuary, with some tourism; the tourism was about one-third bird field researchers, one-fourth actual tourists, and the rest were bird watchers. What little area was left was for the research area, where they were always trying out new farming techniques. Lady Astor parked and walked into the main building.

Harbinger of Despair
Who was he but just a man? To feel the weight of the world on his shoulders, he was no Atlas. Yet his bowed stance and tender neck suggested otherwise. It came to him in a dream: the absent stoking of an everlasting flame. A gnarled finger pointed towards an inevitable end, a sign that couldn't be ignorantly shaded; recurrence made sure of it. He didn't remember how long it had been going on; time didn't matter at this point. He just knew it was long enough to be petrified to fall asleep.
