Soldiers

[close] "It's 1941. Hitler is gaining power overseas and the whole world is being turned upside down. My home has been bombed and my friends and family are dying. In the middle of all this our men are dying trying to free the world from evil. So why does everything with you feel so right? It should feel wrong." The locals of a small street in London have decided to set up a charity dedicated to helping those fighting for their lives on the front lines. Part of this service is a letter exchange programme for those who have no family. The idea was to boost soldiers morale. It wasn't too fall in love but when your pouring your whole heart out-It's difficult not to fall in love. Many shotgun weddings have occurred due to people being scared about the future but this programme seems to be promoting true love or at least a version of marriages that aren't going to fall about as soon as war's over.

[close] Most people have the privilege of being born into a family that is safe. We live in houses that are private and secured, and leave ourselves defenseless for hours when we go to sleep every night. Can you imagine that not being a possibility? You are asleep when you are ripped from your bed by a stranger, forced to become a killer or a sex slave. Doesn’t really sound like something people really have to worry about, does it? Many young people in Africa do though. A terrifying man named Joseph Kony has been abducting children for over 25 years to create his “Lords Resistance Army” in parts of Africa. He takes innocent kids and turns them into killers. They are sometimes even forced to kill their own parents. Kony has become the world’s ‘worst’ criminal, and the worst part is, nobody even knew who he was until the last couple of days. So what can you do? Well that’s the easy part. Just spread the word.

[close] In a post apocalyptic world ridden with dangerous mutants trying to kill you on every step, your only option to survive is to either know how to fight or live in one of the underground settlements protected by guards. You could very well be a mutant yourself. How long before the Lawless Land claims your life?
