Where the Sun Meets the Earth. Runner-Up in History Would’ve Burned This Page Challenge.
The red Nebraska sun had dipped down to kiss the tops of the corn stalk sentinels, silhouetting them against the burnt orange sky as they marched off to the horizon. Howard slowly meandered back to the farm house, a rivulet of sweat slipped down his neck under the collar of his work shirt and his muscles ached from a long day of working the fields with his brother. As he neared the rickety old porch he spotted his sister bent over a bucket shucking fresh picked ears of corn. A soft breeze floated past, carrying the sound of Lorna Belle’s gentle voice.

What's In Your House
There were most likely different photo's that would have been more appropriate for this article. However, my splash one (although it was good), and my rainbow one (although it was good), were getting a bit old, and I have used it for so many articles, it was time for a change. So this is the rose bush in my back yard. It is indeed also very pretty indeed.

Two Wild Rides (Disclaimer: All dialog in the following is embellishment of the author. In the early Jet Age, cockpit voice recorders were not yet required on commercial aircraft. I have done my best to provide accurate portrayals based on standard procedures.)

Gold Frames...
March 12th, 1915... My Dear Beth, I know that you were born a month ago, and named for your mother, my dearest Bess. She tells me that she kissed my gold-framed photograph each night, now on your behalf as well as her own, until you are old enough to do it yourself. I pray that the Great War will be over before then, or that I will have had leave enough to come home so you both can kiss me in person, before that time.

Trapped Beneath the Rubble
Darlene Etienne's miraculous rescue from Haiti's devastating 2010 earthquake and the faith that kept her alive The story of Darlene Etienne's survival for seventeen days beneath the rubble of a collapsed building following the catastrophic 7.0 magnitude earthquake that devastated Haiti on January 12, 2010, represents one of the most medically improbable survival stories ever documented, challenging everything doctors understand about how long humans can survive without water and food, and her rescue on January 29, long after search and rescue teams had given up hope of finding anyone else alive in the ruins, brought a moment of joy and wonder to a nation that had suffered unimaginable tragedy and loss. The earthquake killed an estimated two hundred and twenty thousand people, displaced over one million, and reduced much of Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas to rubble, and in the chaos and devastation of the immediate aftermath, thousands of people were trapped under collapsed buildings, and international search and rescue teams worked frantically in the first days to pull survivors from the wreckage, but after about two weeks the official rescue operations were winding down because conventional wisdom held that no one could survive longer than ten to twelve days without water, and any people still trapped were presumed dead.
