Generation

By: Quinn Sandhu, Kaoma Canales, and Victoria Juarez  Part 1 “This is 2523. In this time people will have special abilities. In 2075 a meteor will hit earth, spreading an unknown substance mutating every newborn. When one of the mutated humans turns 13 the mutation will fully develop. They will prick their finger allowing a drop of blood to fall into the lantern. Depending on the change of color in the lantern, powers will be stronger or weaker than others. We use these abilities to empower our community. There will be 4 ranks. Green, Yellow, Orange, and Purple. The rarest color is purple and the most common is yellow. If you are one of those people to possess a purple rank, most likely your future will be challenging. But again, that's very rare to acquire purple so I wouldn't worry about that. The order of strength is purple, orange, yellow then green. Remember today is the past, tomorrow is the future. And I wish you all a bright future.”- International Alert 2023 “Bright fu...

By Alexa Perez Original Picture by Taetum Brown Well, I for one believe that unicorns exist somewhere out there in the world. Some people don’t.

But let’s go back to the mythological definition of Unicorn. The animal version of a unicorn that everyone knows is a horse or goat-like creature with a long horn on the top of its head and has cloven hooves. According to Encyclopedia Britannica , “The unicorn appeared in early Mesopotamian artworks, and it also was referred to in the ancient myths of India and China.” But what do HPCMS stud...
