And in "Tomorrow Waits for No Man", Luke gets stuck in traffic with an unusual passenger.

Derrick is one of the creatus, created beings who have lived on the Earth for more than 4,000 years. Many questions surround the origin of these sentient beings who are stronger than humans, eat differently, and live longer. But they were created just as we were, maybe even before us. It is from them we obtain our fairy tales - and our nightmares. They are the reason we believe in superheroes - and monsters. Because...they exist.

The emerging societies of the Caribbean in the 17th century were a riotous assembly of pirates, aristocrats, revolutionaries, and rogues - outcasts and fortune seekers all.

I am tired of relying on pharmaceuticals and chemicals to deal with everyday common illnesses, from a cold to a headache to high blood pressure. Every medication we use, no matter how common or well researched, comes with intended and unintended effects. Some of these, such as the intended effects, are desired, like pain relief when taking pain relief medication. The problem is the unintended effects these medications cause in the body.

In the past many people considered herbal remedies to be folklore, old wives' tales, and overall ineffective remedies. We became reliant on medication for everything and less focused on the effects of the chemicals we were putting in our bodies. Maybe it can be attributed to the influx of international information that is now readily available through the Internet; maybe it can be attributed to the diversity that the United States is now enjoying due to modern immigration, or maybe it is more of a need to simplify.

In this modern age, there are few things as important as managing our health in the most healing and beneficial way possible. The problem arises when we flush chemical, man-made antibiotics into our bodies to try and get rid of infections and other problematic issues our bodies face. If we don't take care of ourselves and take a lot of preventative measures, we have to resort to high-functioning chemicals that not only kill the bad bacteria in our bodies, but also the good bacteria that helps us to stay healthy.

There is endless wisdom in the medicinal practices of ancient civilizations. People who didn't have the opportunity to rely on modern technology were not capable of the same chances at longevity and health that we are in modern times. However, it is important to remember that the drugs we are using now are still in their infancy, and may come with more problems than solutions in some cases.
