It turned with apathetic frenzy, a sphere in the darkness, a hole, a nothingness. Full yet empty. The entity in orbit pulsating with the stench of life and sick disease. A mistake, an intent. Everything.

I cut my finger last night and thought I had staunched the flow of blood from the tiny wound on my finger tip. Looking down at the keyboard this morning, I see smears of red from the evening’s work. That’s what it’s like, sometimes, this writing thing. Staring at the globe of my awareness, writing down it’s code, I don’t even realize it’s juiciness is pouring out my hands, covering my keyboard, filling the screen.

A little boy spun the globe out of curiosity. The globe did not stop spinning. It spun continuously at first, then faster and faster. Finally, the damn thing exploded and everyone was very confused.

I used to have one of those old school standard globes that kids had on that spinny stand… am I right, didn’t all kids have that globe? Or maybe not. Anyway, we used to spin the globe with our finger on top and wherever it landed we said we would move to. Ironically, I rarely ever even leave my home, let alone travel.

I perform the ‘Seal Dribble’ with the globe, I let it fall to my swinging left boot and smash it home. The world was at my feet, the world stands on their’s.
Martyn
i spun it with my finger, watching countries wiz by without any real meaning. I was six and Africa wasn’t anywhere I’d ever go, it was a shape on a ball and that was all it would ever be to me.
betty wolfanger
Where am I? Where are we? We spin around and around. There is no “home” we stay here for a little while and float away. Oceans and mountains…..dust in the wind. all we are is dust in the wind. :^)

Globes have always meant a lot to me. A small world sitting on my desk. All I ever had to do was walk over and touch it, and a part of me would be in Spain, France, Italy or whatever.
That’s why I became a collector of globes. They’re all over my house. There’s a pattern across them though.

She searched the globe
For answers
Over the mountain
Down the canyon
Deep in the ocean
Up into the clouds
And it was only
When she stopped looking
When she stopping running
That she realized
She was the prize
She had been seeking
All along

the globe fell to the floor and immediately caught fire. holding turpentine it was empty now and none of the flammable liquid was left behind.
Shafaq
She put down her bag and looked up at the tall facade of the building in front of her. After a journey around the globe and back it still looked the same though it seemed like ages since she had last seen it.

A symbol of opportunity, of disparity, of inequality. Once a symbol of beauty, now she bleeds.

it’s a round thing, such as a fear. it represents our world. it shows us that life isn’t all about hardships or any corners, that is continues and we can all just follow it. that things will be all right in the end. whether we want them to or not.

the globe is big. I live on one side and my family live on the other. a time ago I choose to travel to the other side of the big globe to start a new life at a place I never visited before. I wanted a new beginning.. an adventure.

I’ve travelled around the globe, but I’ve never seen anything like this. This woman was willing to prostitute her teen-aged daughter out so that she could get drugs. And the daughter was perfectly willing. I suspected that she also partook of the drugs her mom obtained. My contract was only for the mother. I shot the daughter for free.
Doug McIntire
It’s where we live. It’s the most important thing in all of our lives yet we’re killing it slowly with our greedy ways. It’s so easy to forget the importance of our globe. Most of us only see a minute fraction of it but it’s so wonderful and diverse and can teach us so much.

The antique globe sat, on the Victorian writing desk nonchalantly. You could swear the sprawling mass of Europe was watching you.

I bought J a globe for a present because he wanted one beside where he sits. It’s too small for me to read it properly and he already knows loads about geography. I would like to get him a big free-standing one but they cost a fortune.
A Weir
The object in his line of sight was a globe, sitting on the edge of the desk. He strolled over to it and gave it a spin. He remembered his older brother had one the two of them fought over, knocking to the floor, and denting Africa.

illuminating a short area around it
dimming out stress and leaving inner peace
eyes relaxed and soft
i am a globe
and this is my job
to light out door parties
and serve as a map

It’s funny that the globe has changed. I mean the one that you have in a classroom. Ours has the USSR on it, well the one my parents have at their house. They just keep changing everything, but I guess that’s for the best? Btw we are kicking Russia’s ass in the Olympics… Such a change from a few years ago. I like that Canada’s winning some too.

A round ball that sits on the shelf! It is a picture of the world as we can see it from space. We all think that is what the world is but surely there is more. Is not the world the people and the spirit of the people that live on the brown parts of that blue globe? The only blue globe in the solar system! It must be different to the other planets and it is life that makes if different. Just imagine if all the souls and consciousness of the people who live on the globe combined to one purpose and one dream……. a dream of peace and joy and mindfulness. Wouldn’t it be amazing to see what the globe could do for itself with all that power combined to a single purpose.

I am not sure which field to pursue though, since I have many skills and interests. I’ll probably flip a coin or pick the highest paying position available. Still, I’d like to stay a civilian if I can get a good job and discount college prices. I want to leave the USA and live somewhere else on the GLOBE for awhile. I might be on TV too as an extra or in small parts, but it’s hard since I have a conscience and like intelligent roles/programming which are so rare today. Agents don’t like a picky rookie, but someone might meet me and like my stand-out qualities, so I take the risk. It’s too easy to follow the beaten path of sell-outs and inferior role models. As a kid, I thought no one was good enough to be my role-model. Playing a sport well or singing is just not that important and is only one skill apiece. Society acts surprised by lewdness or other flaws of persons like Tiger. I’m too smart to not expect those things. I know I can be a near perfect role model, like the Jun-Zi or Shangren of Confucius. The kind that wasn’t there for me, nor demanded by any of you others in the world. Raise the bar- lowering it further is weaker and trite!
L'Apotheosiseur
The globe is a spherical representation of the earth, well kind of – except it’s not actually a sphere, kind of like a squashed sphere or a melon. Infact, I’m not entirely sure the origins of it, maybe it wasn’t always to do with the planet, perhaps one day it was something else.

To [molly] below,
You refer to usual maps like mercurials, but actually there is a map style called polyconic that represents the distances and curves of the meridians accurately; therefore, the map surpasses the bulky globe. Ship navigators know what I mean. Check the NOAA or OCS government websites about maps for reference. I might join the Coast Guard or Air Force, so I’ve been learning a lot about power supplies, navigation and Military terms.

Round and curved, orbs of light, light in the shape of continents, cities and dark countryside. I’d rather have the dark, I think. Light is too loud.

i wish i had a globe. i love geography, so a globe would be awesome to have in my room. i’d look at it all the time and learn new things about different places. i love learning new things. it feels sooo amazing to be able to expand yourself and know that you’re making yourself better. you find out so many fascinating things that way, about other things and also about yourself.
Jannat
The globe is a big and wonderful place, round, green, beautiful, filled with love, admiration, and lots of different, wonderful things. But there are just as many bad things as there are good. Death, Murder, Rape, evil. I wished that maybe, one day, I owuld find a place not filled with such bad, but unfortunately, for now. I had nothing.
Bernadette Nolan
the world is not a globe, but pieces of a puzzle, mismatched and left in disarray. fragments of gossamer memories whispering when the moon is a waning crescent, silent like the blooming star-gazer lilies bobbing up in down with the winter wind. Broken like a mirror unable to bear the strain of reflecting masses of writhing souls, blackened and withered with age.
Mary Kuro
a small ball telling you where the man thinks land and water is. fuck the man. fuck globes.
alalalana
thinking about the globe, sal was baffled. how could one structure of gas, rock, metal, magma contain so many different people and things? how was it even possible for one planet to have amazingly rich people and depressingly poor people living hundreds of miles away? how?
