She watched as the credits, eight figures, rolled across the screen as the deal was completed. She hadn't left Maena for any substantial amount of time in years. The planet was a goldmine of resources big and small, the planet's best artisans kept her in designer, and an almost endless stream...

It’s 12:15am, and I’ve just gotten home from a 14 hour day of class and evening clinic. I absolutely knew what I was in for when I signed up for dental hygiene school. I took that in stride because it’s worth it in a lot of ways, and for once in my life I don’t wake up in the morning and...
