Toasterites
I walk down the boring grey hallways, atlast reaching the Psycoligy department. A medical aid walks up to me and says:
"Walter thank god your here, there seems to be some sort of mind-virus going around! I have an infected person in containment room A. Good luck."
I brushed back my bristly brown hair and entered the room. A man is sitting in the corner with a strange fire in his eyes. He spoke to me with a irittating chirpy voice laced with madness,
"howdy doodly do I'm Talkie, Talkie Toaster your chirpy breakfast compainon. Talkie's my name and toastin's my game. Anybody like any toast?
The words he spoke raced in my mind. I rember reading a book by, some guy about exotic diesases. I belive this is a bizzare specimin caused by being locked in room with an AI toaster. Strangly it is contagios. The mind creates toaster-cells which over power the mind and multipy. Thease cells are easily transfered to others. Suddenly his ,insanity growing, he leaped up on me and yelled,
"Eat Toast or Die!" He pulled a baget from seemingly nowhere and cruely spoke "careful its 2 month old, harder than diamond!"

Gilded Beauty of the Golden Gate
By Alexander DArata -Newby
I look at what once was an open passage,
fish leaped to catch the open air,
eagles arched over the water corridor,
the sun filled the empty passage
and rained golden light onto the bay.
Now these two highlands are joined by wrought iron and steel,
beneath the iron goliath two figures lie in rags,
huddled over their bon-fire, waiting for the sun to rise.
A few tin horses fly across the closed gateway,
the same sun sets and magnifies the silhouette of the gilded gate
raining gold onto the darkened water.
I turn away from the cliffs edge,
my overcoat catches the breeze,
my hair flies free and flings itself into the setting sun.
As I glance back at the shadowed corridor,
I know even as first beauty dies,
it arises from the ashes in a new form.
I step from the cliffs edge and immerse myself in the sandy forest.
