MY NATURAL HIGH: RUNNING My natural high is running. Running is my natural high because I spend most of my free running whether it’s long‚ short distance or marathons.

Another day has passed‚ another sunrise witnessed. Laney wakes up on one of the cold‚ hard benches of Central Park. She looks around to see the same scene as she always does‚ the fountain‚ the first group of tourists‚ and the same trees that she has seen everyday since her parents died.

SPACETOBEEDITTED Optics flickered towards the west a smile drawing itself upon the lips of the male. He adored moons such as this‚ known readily in the ancient world as the harvest or wolf moon‚ the circular orb in the sky shown such as this only twice per year; once in the spring and once in the fall during the equinox consisting of exactly 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night.
