700 | "Hey guys, it's Josh and welcome back to Let's Game it Out."
I looked around frantically, trying to see who had uttered the words; I found no one. Knowing the tales of what this meant, however, I felt trepidation course through my body.
Only good things, I trust. After all, if a being of unmatched power could alter o... |
701 | **A Good Boy’s Wisdom**
Gus lounged on the couch sleepily with the lazy afternoon sun streaming in when Lisa walked into the room filling the air with the static of her tension.
Gus sat bolt upright, instantly alert with his face creasing into concern for his beloved. Lisa plopped down next to him and ran... |
702 | "So, that's it?"
"Yeah. Not sure what you were expecting."
"Well, not you, for sure. Of all the people I'd watch the end of the world with, why my ex-wife?"
"Because maybe, for some unknown reason, the world drew us together even as we tried to wash each other from our hands."
"Yeah, after all that fighting, I real... |

Joe was sorting the bills, counting them out like he did every night with slow patience. I sat on the old stool, spinning round now the store was closed for the night. I didn't like to leave the old man alone when he locked up and the few extra minutes, they didn't hurt.

704 | Catherine sat at her desk, looking out the bedroom window above it at the vast expanse of brown fields and dying grass far below her. A light snow had begun to fall over the sullen landscape, dotting the dark fields with bright spots of white.
Any ordinary girl would have been crying, but crying was not Catherine's na... |
705 | **Dinner Date**
You’re outside a restaurant, and it’s late, and cold, and this dress is too short, and you forget all of that because there he is.
He’s stunningly attractive. Chiseled jaw, lean swimmers figure, looking lovely in a suit. You’re thrown. Mesmerized.
He slides up to you, smiling. Warm. He’s very warm. H... |
706 | “For the love of god, please,” Lena pleaded with the screaming, shit covered infant, “PLEASE just stop crying so I can wipe your ass and be done with this! Come on. Coochie coo?

707 | George Smithson, possibly the most human human to ever roam the green earth, paused mid-swig. He set his tankard down and squinted at his friend.

708 | "That murder was pretty entertaining," Red says to me. He was laughing now. We were watching from an abandoned rooftop to the street below where we were watching. There was one guy stabbing another, the one I commanded was the one with the knife.

711 | Isaac came aboard the *Eurydice* at Ganymede. He was part of the crew that installed the hyperbaric chambers in the Turner-Al Saad Executive Spa. At the end of the shift, he'd excused himself to the lavatory and then just never left.
He had to see it. He had to be a part of history in the making.

712 | Two hundred half lifetimes is a lot.
It gives you plenty of time to think about what you’ve done, what you want to do, what you can’t live without. And trust me. I’ve done a lot.
I’ve been married at least one hundred and fifty-six times. One hundred and six of those were to the same woman. Five were to men, just for... |
713 | The mother was inconsolable, dripping, pink, and wailing hoarsely. The father was phlegmatic by contrast, patting the woman's shoulder in 3/4 time, looking down with cool contempt at the child.

19 October, 2015
She was watching everything through the small slot in the door, torn between her duty and her conscious. Inside the windowless chamber a man hung from the ceiling, his arms tied to the rafters and his legs hanging limply below him, kicking feebly in one last pathetic ac... |
716 | *Motherfucker.*
The only seat available was the one in the back corner. Next to the window. That seat was *always* trouble. Hiyoko double-checked the room in a vain attempt to find another desk, before sighing in resignation and slowly taking her seat.
At the teacher's instruction to turn to page 52, she opened her d... |
717 | The thing about knowing for sure when you die is, you don't know anything about the quality of life leading up to death. When the Oracle told me I was going to die in 50 years, at first I thought I was the luckiest lady on earth - 50 years to do whatever I want with no fear of death seems like a dream, right?
Well,

719 | Carol lied there on the stiff hospital bed, the beeps of the heart monitor mixing in with the pattering of the rain on the window. She thought back. Things had been pretty alright, all things considered. If she was being truly honest, she couldn't think of anything genuinely wrong in her lifetime. Yet, she felt, for a ... |
720 | When adventurers meet at a tavern, it's inevitable that they'll start comparing their deeds and trying to decide which of them is the greatest hero of all.
In this particular instance, A wizard, a knight, a cleric, and a commoner were in the tavern. The commoner, of course, was a fixture at the place, but the others ... |
721 | "Ok.." she said. Her voice was almost drowned out by the gurgling of the creek which we'd retreated to behind the school. "You promise - right?" She continued. Her eyes shifted to mine, then the muddy bank which we stood upon.

"Of course," I nodded on at her. It'd taken weeks to convince her. Convince he... |
722 | “Dragon!” I yelled into the cave, “Face me!” A low rumbling echoed up the tunnel. Scraping, hissing, and slithering noises followed. I crouched behind my water-soaked shield and rested the crossbow on the top edge, hoping for a good shot to start things off. The second I saw a glint from the dragon’s eye, I fired.... |

725 | I looked around the room for one last time. The beams creaked above me, and the dusty window at one all let in nothing but moonlight. Everything was dark, and nothing but cicadas could be heard.
Looking around, I was reminded of all of my friends, my comrades... the people who put their lives' product in my hands, tru... |

727 | "Control to Ares Team, uh... we are just as confused here, over."
The landing site for the first manned mission to Mars was not a coincidental one to their unexpected discovery. A symbolic time required a lodestone of history at its centre. And what better one than the (rough) area where the Curiosity Rover finally "d... |

By the hundreds, a cacophony of shouts bellowed at him. Shouting *his* name. He stepped back, rattled, until his eyes adjusted to the morning sun and he could see a swarm of people outside his home.
People? No. Not just people. Children. A swarm of children, high-pitched and full of energy shouted... |
729 | "And with the last of his groceries safely tucked away, Thomas turned towards..." and with that the voice petered off into nothing.
And so, Thomas turned. And kept turning. Surely, at any second now the voice would continue and help Thomas finish his day. After all, it had always been there, a deep guiding guardian of... |

733 | I was sitting on the far edge of a mahogany table. It seemed to stretch for miles but was only 16 seats on either side. I was in a board room for the Disney cooperation. Their business side lacked the whimsical aesthetic of the rest of their properties. The only sign that I was even in the Happiest Place on Earth was t... |
734 | Bender had practiced tying his bowtie for weeks before prom. Some of his friends heckled him for spending so much time trying to get the perfect knot, but he brushed them off; most of them were using clip on ties, but he was a young man of class.
He'd always gone against the grain, did things that made him stand out,... |
735 | My eyes widened in abject horror as I watched the destruction of everything I loved. A half-empty bag of chips fell from my unfeeling fingers to join the junk food detritus strewn around my chair. I sat frozen before my gaming setup for a moment more, before heaving a sigh of defeat. That nuclear Gandhi bug had been fu... |

737 | "Table stakes again?" the thin man asked. He wore black, and the lines time had etched into his face were harsh.
"Not this time, I think," the shorter man said. He wore white, a business suit so pristine that it almost hurt to look at. The thin man cocked an eyebrow.
"The last game, then?" he asked. The man in white ... |
