A laser-ion engine is a device that uses a combination of a laser and an ion engine to create a cascade of discharges that accelerate particles and lead to thrust generation.

The scheme of the laser-ion engine includes the following main components:
1. Laser – used to excite and accelerate electrons in the ionization of the working gas.
2. Power

supply – provides power to the laser and other engine components.
3. Optical system – directs the laser beam to the ionizer, where the ionization process takes place.
4. Ionizer – responsible for the ionization of the working gas by irradiating it with a laser and creating plasma.
5. Ion accelerator – accelerates and directs charged particles towards ...

The world outside Tilly's window was a desolate landscape, painted in hues of gray and draped in an oppressive silence. It was a dystopian reality where corruption clung to every institution like a relentless parasite. Tilly navigated the crumbling streets with a heaviness in her heart, a sense of disconnection that seemed to echo through the empty buildings

and shattered remnants of a society that once thrived.
She felt like a mere spectator in her own life, a ghostly presence wandering through the ruins of a world that had lost its way. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the dilapidated structures, Tilly sought solace in the only refuge she could find – her imagination.
In the ...

Early morn', the cold stone walls of the keep bathe in the red sunlight that leak through the shutters of a stained-glass window. All the royal family -- but the king -- had long since been asleep, and presumably longer still, their slumber continues.
The king was seated, lone, at the table's head in the dining room, a large, seemingly heavy book placed on

the dark wood in front of him. He appeared somewhat entranced, his eyes flickering across the page, then stopping, then flickering again....

When Elrich, a young orphan, stumbles upon a dying dragon and a mysterious stone, he doesn’t realize he holds the key to a cosmic conflict. The stone is the Firestone, a source of unimaginable power that can destroy the universe in the wrong hands.
And there are plenty of wrong hands eager to get it: the ruthless Dragon Lord Vorghul, who leads a horde of

rebel dragons; the wicked witch, Moribund, who seeks the Firestone to unlock an ancient tomb and unleash dark magic; and the tyrannical King Gilfillan II who needs the Firestone to win his fight against both dragons and witches, while fighting to protect his own throne from his ambitious cousin. Elrich must protect the Firestone from all these enemies, even ...

I suspect my childhood friend is a mind reader. He always knows what to say to me or what I'm thinking before I even think it. Like out in the hallway a few minutes ago. I was reading a poster for theater auditions when-

"You should stick with the yearbook." Collin had magically appeared beside me from the throng of students. He rested his arm on my

shoulder. I shoved him off.

"It's senior year. Let me do something fun. Something exciting!" I protested with glee.

Jasmine Kim, a notorious gossiper chuckled from beside me. I didn't like her. She chewed too loud and was flat-out mean. Her rudeness was often mistaken as sarcasm by everyone so she was a bit of a social butterfly. We bumped into each other f...

Chapter 1

I never in my whole 33 years would have ever imagined that I would be living in Los Angeles, going to FIDM, the best school for Fashion in the United States, Living with my best friend, and just living the best life I could possibly be living.

Charlie Days



















By RGM





One







Carson's eyes roamed over the white tree, stark against the pitch-black sky. He slid his thumb down the side of his coffee cup.

“Daddy?”

Carson turned from the window to see Charlie standing in the doorway of the living room. She pulled on

the front of the tshirt she had insisted on wearing to bed.

“You’re supposed to be in bed, Charlie. What do you need?” he whispered. He set down his coffee mug and padded over to her. She raised her hands and he hoisted her little self onto his hip. She was growing everyday, but she still was the smallest little girl in her preschool class.

Chapter 1
The searing pain in her left arm was too much to handle. She dropped to her knees to the soft carpeted floor, her long red har falling in her face while clutching her left arm to her chest as tears ran down her face. Soon it was not just her left arm her whole body felt like it was on fire she felt as if she was burning alive. But just as soon as

the pain started it stopped sending a chill up her spine. She looked down to her arm to see a black tattoo-like image of the number 10 appear on her arm. It looked eerily similar to the number 4 on her other arm.

As soon as she regained her lost strength she got up from her knees still clutching her left arm to her chest and slowly walked down the hallwa...

Broken woods

Walking alone in the dark forest, Lana rubbed her arms. It was indeed very cold at 3 am. “Why did I even agree to come here? Ugh now I got lost,” Lana talked to herself. For sure right now she was regretting listening to her friends. Sighing maybe for the nth time, she looked around trying to see where her friends were camping. Hearing

some noises, she immediately stopped walking and looked around.
“Who is there?” she asked, frightened. Hearing no response, she squinted her eyes, trying to see if someone was there or she heard things. Not seeing anything, she walked again. “Maybe I am hallucinating,” she said to herself. Pushing away the long branches of the fallen trees, she made h...

Percy looked down at their bloodied hands, the cow in front of them absolutely decimated, red spots tainting the previously green grass a sickly shade with blood. Before, this would have been disgusting, enough to make Percy break down, but now that a set of pearly white canines poked past their pale lips, it was a delicious sight, reeling them in and

begging to be tasted. Percy grimaced and wiped their hands on their pretty turquoise blouse, not caring for the trouble they’d be in later. They had to figure out how to get the stains out eventually. “Crap,” Percy muttered, licking the pearls of blood off their fingertips, very unsympathetic towards the life they just ended. Cow’s blood was tasty, and Per...

Description:
The 31th day in July once a year at night with a full moon something exquisite happens at the Lyanne Lake. But only the Lake itself may decide who is worthy of it's grace. Only when midnight begins a portal to a forgotten land opens in one minute.
But never have two people at the same time been blessed by the Lake to enter. That was until

now...
Freya and Jacqueline were both chosen for something great, coincidence? I think not, rather fate.
They both get sucked in by the portal into another dimension and meets a man named Kain. He explains that they were chosen by the Lake to defeat Callisto who has taken over the land called Valendale. Only together they will succeed with their quest.
Will t...

I slowly walk to the edge of the cliff, dazed, as if in a trance. Looking down I see the water, churning and deadly. My entire body is trembling, terrified by what I’m about to do. Slowly and carefully, I take her picture out of my pocket. The wind whips at my body, almost tearing the picture from my hand. I place her image against my chest and take a deep

breath, inhaling the salty scent of the sea. I lift my head to the sky, closing my eyes, and wrapping her sweater tighter around my body. Thoughts and memories of her assault my mind, making it hard to breathe. I desperately gasp for air before realizing that I don’t want to breathe. With that thought I jump off the cliff, and fall toward the water. The w...

Coward.
That’s what they called me.
Coward coward coward, they called.
I screamed.
I screamed until they stopped.
I screamed again and again and again.
All was silent.
My ears were ringing.
Then I realized what I had done.
Dead.
They were all dead.
I killed them.
I killed them all.
My hands were bloody.
My clothes were bloody.
I

didn’t know if the blood belonged to me.
Or to them.
Maybe both.
Coward.
It echoed in my head.
Coward coward coward.
I fell to my knees.
Sobbing.
Coward.
I screamed again.
And again.
And again.
I couldn’t stop.
I didn’t want to stop.
COWARD.
I screamed.
Silent.
All was silent.
Coward. ...

Woof! Woof!
Logan rolled to the side of his bed. His bed was a mattress full of straw. He stared at the brown eyes of a Border Collie. Logan had conceived his mother to get him a dog because it would be good for herding their sheep on their farm. His dog was only ten weeks old and he was still training it.
“You have to go pee now?” He groaned.

The dog barked and wagged its tail. He got out of bed and grabbed the leash and his cell phone and an inhaler from the table. Stuck his cell phone and inhaler inside of his oversized grey sweatpants. Clipped the leash onto the dog’s red collar. He left his bedroom and put on his shoes. Carefully, he shut the front door not to wake up his mother. Outside, it ...
