  The Artificial Man by Clare Winger Harris - Before David’s startled gaze the newcomer placed his right hand to his left shoulder and removed the left arm. He then proceeded to dismember himself until only a torso, head and one arm remained. 
  On the annals of surgery no case has ever left quite as horrible an impression upon the public as did that of George Gregory, a student of Austin College. Young Gregory was equally proficient in scholastic and athletic work, having been for two years captain of the football team, and for one year a marked success in intercollegiate debates. No student of the senior class of Austin or Decker will ever forget his masterful arguments as he upheld the affirmative in the question:—“Resolved that bodily perfection is a result of right thinking.” Gregory gave every promise of being one of the masterful minds of the age; and if masterful in this instance means dominating, he was that—and more. Alas that his brilliant mentality was destined to degradation through the physical body—but that is my story. 
  	It was the Thanksgiving game that proved the beginning of George’s downfall. Warned by friends that he would be wise to desist from the more dangerous physical sports, he laughingly—though with unquestionable sincerity—referred to the context of his famous debate, declaring that a correct mental attitude toward life—he had this point down to a mathematical correctness—rendered physical disasters impossible. His sincerity in believing this was laudable, and so far his credence had stood him in good stead. No one who saw his well-proportioned six-foot figure making its way through the opponents’ lines, could doubt that the science of thinking rightly was favorably exemplified in young Gregory.

  High above the world, hidden among the drifting clouds, lay a magical floating island. This was no ordinary island—it shimmered under the golden sun, and its trees whispered secrets in the wind. Here, magic existed in secret, known only to those who lived on the island. It was a place of wonder, where animals could talk, and the sky itself seemed to listen. 
  Among the island's many wonders was a young boy named Hero. With kindness in his heart, determination in his spirit, and creativity in his mind, Hero was special in ways he didn't fully understand. He had the gift of talking to animals and flying, but despite his magical abilities, Hero struggled with something far greater than any spell—believing in himself. 
  Hero often doubted whether he was truly strong enough, smart enough, or special enough. What if his magic wasn't as powerful as others? What if he failed? His mind was full of "what ifs" that made his wings feel heavy and his heart uncertain.
