Chapter 12 “Desperation” No matter how hard I try to focus on anything, all my mind can settle on is that alluring spark that burned in Rey’s eyes when I saw her last. The light that flickered into life when we watched each other reach for the other’s hand. A beautiful beacon calling me…
Chapter 11 “Reaching Across Worlds” Faces cave in all around me. Everywhere I look, I see the same thing. Me. Everything. I wanted to see my parents, but all I see is me. My head spins, my hand retracts from the wall. Frost bites at my finger tips and something shocks me to my…
Chapter 10 “Mom, Dad, and Ben” I weightlessly float through a deep blue sea. I tumble slowly and feel completely free. My teal surroundings swirl to a deep purple. Specks of stardust flicker around me. I feel the soft sensation on my feet and legs, trickling to my chest. Stars run across my legs…
Chapter 9 “A Tale Across the Galaxy” Chirps from plump porgs whistle in the distance, muffled from the sound of waves and wind. I sit on a stone step—one of the steep ones I’ve had to climb day in and day out to try to figure out what’s going on here with Luke and…
Chapter 8 “Trusting the Enemy” She doesn’t know. Why haven’t I told her yet? She still thinks… No, I did. I can’t think I didn’t. He’ll find out…He can’t find out… I rack my brain for the right answer, but I can’t find it. My hands clench my head. They’re shaking. My gloves are…
Chapter 7 “Dreams in the Depths” Craving conversation, he walked to me, into the light. I can’t stop thinking about it. When Kylo and I spoke…I saw that light in him again. Now it all makes sense. It wasn’t him. I mean, what happened wasn’t exactly him. What Luke said wasn’t the truth. He…
Chapter 6 “The War Within” She’s gone. Just as she arrived, mere inches from me and in an instant, she was whisked away. I can still feel it, though. That spark. That connection. And more. Her compassionate eyes staring, nearly weeping. Her body awkwardly shifted, not knowing what to do. The words drew her…
Chapter 5 “Ben Solo’s Sorrow” His dark hair obscures part of his face. He moves towards me with a subtle grace, shadows crawling from beneath his feet. As if comfortable in every way, he stands right in front of me in his fitted black pants. And that’s it. That’s all he’s wearing. Why is…
Chapter 4 “Inner Anguish” One of my gloved fingers is tapping against my knee. I’m sitting on my bed in a room far too empty and spacious for one human being. The walls are gray and lifeless, and not so much as a chair can be seen on either end of my living quarters….
Chapter 3 “Hearing Out Skywalker” Beams of light pierce every inch of my mind. Blue. Red. Black. White. I see him. Kylo. His mouth is turned so far downward that it looks like it might fall right off his face. His dark eyes are determined, but his brows flicker against them in sorrow. He’s…
Chapter 2 “Return of Kylo Ren” “What do you want?” I spit. “Why is the force connecting us like this?” He asks as soon as he comes into focus. My heart bangs against my chest. “I-I don’t know…” I rack my brain to figure out why this could possibly be happening. I know how—through…
Chapter 1 “Cryptic Visions” My head is spinning. I knew that it would be an adventure to come to this island, but I never could have imagined all of what has been happening since I got here. Something strange happened again tonight. I saw him again. I don’t know why it happens or what…
Many people are giving the new Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi, a lot of flack. However, I personally think it was one of the best ones yet, save for a couple of elements, such as an unnecessary plot line (but more on that later). Fans Are Annoyed By That Unnecessary Adventure Many original trilogy Star Wars fans aren’t too…

Winter is the season to stay warm by the fire or huddled under blankets. Since you will probably spend a lot of time indoors, there is no better time to subscribe to some boxes that interest you, especially if you don’t want to go out in the snowy weather to find fun products to…
