Don’t Go Into the Light
Mrs. Hawes looked out over her class. Timothy was teasing little Anna again, tossing ball after ball of crumpled paper at her even as she shrieked in annoyance.

The Sphinx’s Answer
The sphinx asked her riddle a thousand times over the years. She only received around eight hundred responses. Those who ran, those tried to fight, they were not given a second chance to satisfy her.
