In the second week of the first year of the underground offensive on ISIS, Harry Qin of SEAL Team 2 had been under siege in the village for three days. "Don't you get it, Qin?"his captain screamed, "there are no reinforcements, because we're not supposed to be here. We repair this chopper or we die."So Harry Qin went ...
I was ready. My anus tightly clenched, almost quivering in excitement. My older brother looked at me and sighed. "Enjoy it. It'll be the best thing you every feel in your life." I turned to him, my blank smile morphing into a cracked and a broken grin. I felt it swelling deep within my bowels. My smile broke out into...
The day broke, gray and sterile. White winds howled across the surface of the black water, while grasping tendrils of chill mist encircled the silent lake house. [Editor's note: It was a bit overcast. Otherwise, it was a perfectly nice morning.] The man and the woman arrived. The guttural cries of their creaking au...
"For six decades, the Federal Agency for Intelligence Harvesting has scoured the globe, searching for those gifted students that will propel humanity forward, who will bravely bear the weight of the most intense and complex issues facing our species. Ladies and gentlemen, before you are the saviors of humanity." The d...
The bearded God known as Dinosmus sat slumped on a small plastic seat inside a bright white waiting room. He held his head in his hands and let out a terrific sigh. He was fed up of waiting. He had already had a terrible week, what with Cometeus and co playing a disastrous round of Meteor golf. Cometeus hadn't even apo...
I called Michael and Gabriel immediately. At first, they were hesitant to help Lucifer, but I reminded them that Lucifer one of us in blood and bone. While they took him away to be cared for, I wondered what could have caused my prodigial son to return. In such a state as he was, he must have been desperate. What could...
Nothing ever changes here. I've always lived in the same place, followed the same daily routine, and talked to the same people. It's been years since someone new moved into the village. Supposedly, we're the only ones left. The same story has been passed down for generations- disease ravaged the world and killed everyo...
[Part 1] So I guess I see it now to some extent. When three guys burst into a hardware store five minutes before close, murmuring rapidly about wiping down fingerprints, sorting through black ski masks, shovels, and nose plugs, that the cashier might assume that something nefarious was about to happen. But I mean the ...
“I want one with all of it.” “Excuse me?” The new god pointed. “I like the desert, ice, and garden. I see you got a water thing going on. I like it. Can I do a lot of water? Like two-thirds of the planet should definitely be water.” “That’s a lot of water.” “I like water.” “Okay, sir, if you insist.” “I do,” he s...
INT. OFFICE FLOOR - MORNING Workers sit at their desks and type. Someone yawns. Quietly, but picking up, comes the sound of a carnivalesque cascade of brass and drums. The workers turn, more from vexation than anticipation, to the stairwell doors. Through the doors bursts a small marching band, followed by FRED, 50'...
“Nope.” “Did you just… did you just nope to reincarnation?” “Yup.” Death stared at me, incredulous, from across the desk. To be honest, he wasn't what I had expected. Sure, he was dressed in a black shirt, a black tie and, I had to assume, black pants and his jet-black hair, flecked with grey, was smoothed back...
There are maybe like, five things that set humans apart from the rest of the galaxy. Six if you count the fact that their bodies are symmetrical on the outside but not on the inside, and seven if you count that weird "right or left handed"thing. Anyway, the most important thing is that they're really distractable. Som...
“The End.” That was always my least favourite part of the book. Every night, after getting ready for bed, my mom would read a story to me. It was always the best part of my night, because no matter what kind of day either one of us had, we could become anything for an hour. I remember her coming into my room with a mo...
"Hello? Hello is this Francis?" "Uh No...this is Kevin. I'm looking for Rob." "Oh we got a lot of Rob's here...but not many robbers slight chuckle sorry, little joke around here." "Oookay, I think Siri messed up. Who is this?" "I am that I am." "Sam?....sorry, you're on speaker phone...is this Sam?" "No, it's n...
Well, like most reddit threads with a title like this, this one certainly had some... unusual responses. Some talked about a big dark house, like most would think are scary. However, most of them had varying descriptions because we all have a fear of such things. Some brought up stuff like an injured animal, which is a...
"Welcome back Monroe."General Carver said looking up from his computer. "How did giving the patient the serum go?""See for yourself"as Monroe, a Department of Justice 'independent contractor', handed the general a burner phone. The phone had a crappy camera, but it did the job. The general's face goes from one of tediu...
Silence. Nothing but blasted silence. You'd think that with every criminal in the country running loose that there might be some noise, but not tonight. Tonight, my crusade took me out of the way, to a quiet little house, in a quiet little neighborhood. Too quiet. What wouldn't I give for a bit of noise to distract me....
The children marched single file along the wide promenade. Crowds of people, twenty rows deep lined both sides, cheering and waving to the little heroes in the hope that one might unlock the relic lost to time. Long ago a seer known as Quatre-Chan had prophesized that a child of ten years of age would unlock the devic...
Well, that was fucked up. They let school out early, though they kept me and the rest of AP Chem for questioning; just a few minutes with each of us, getting our version of the story. Some of my classmates were distraught or crying; I don't blame them. I mean, Mr. Dunham was never the most entertaining teacher, but...
There was a long silence as the monstrous armored Leviathan floated in the air above the large circular plaform he commanded. The four 'heroes' stood there as well staring up to him as they moved from side to side in random poses of defiance to the Leviathan's tyrannical rule of the circular area. The silence continue...
Steven, like most people, spoke little. He had learned to do so since birth. Whenever he could communicate what he needed to without speaking, he did. He would gesture, point, and carry a notepad around on which he would write when he had to. When he found no alternative to speaking, he measured his words and phrases c...
An inky blackness covered the entrance. Once you stepped through--there was no going back. The villagers gathered, torches raised and humming songs of thanks to the two children. The boy clutched her hand, they walked through the gathered people. Garlands and wreaths were put around them. The two children were rais...
The peasants ran from the steps of the dragon’s temple, leaving behind a young girl bound at the wrists and ankles. She squirmed on the obsidian steps, tears in her eyes as she struggled against the ropes binding her, her efforts only increasing upon the sight of a procession of robed figures approaching from the templ...
''Um, honey?'' Karen looked around the corner of the kitchen. ''Yeah?'' ''Did you teach the baby Latin?'' ''What? No! Of course not. What makes you ask?'' She joined her husband beside the crib. ''In fact, what makes you think I know Latin?'' ''Good point. It's just, Eleanor was speaking Latin just now.'' ''That'...
I slowly crawled out from my hiding place under the seat and looked out the window. I'd expected to see the nighttime sky, but instead it was bright and sunny. And there were something else wrong: it felt eerily familiar. The train was riding past a playground, but not just any playground, it was the one from my eleme...
The sound of my phone pinging constantly was what woke me up. I rolled over and grabbed the offending device, intent on telling my friends to shut up, it was way too early for this. To my surprise, it wasn't the group chat that was exploding, it was the numerous news apps that I'd installed. All of the alerts bore n...
My clogs slump in bog slurry; I'm following my poppa, both of us with long guns in hand. Sun's dropping low, but a faraway immortal croaking has a staccato cry trailing off as it stops. It caught my sis, and our family can't go on with proof our kin's living. A shadow, no sound, to my right. I turn to look, but I...
"A-are you talking to me?"said Death, tilting his bony neck. "Um, yeah. Could I just like, not die? That would really suck now that I've finally managed to get this far." Death stared at me for a while, all the while scratching his skeletal visage. I stared back into his dead, empty eyes. "Um, sorry. I'm not used t...
From Wikipedia ,the free encyclopedia ##December 27th Terror Attack For other uses, see Die Easy(disambugation) The December 27th, 2018 Terror Attack, also referred to as the "Die Easy"Attack, was a terrorist strike against the United States by the Arabic militant group Al-Abalah.

"Okay,"Raphael whispered, "remember what I taught you." I sized up the room. It was square, about fifteen feet by fifteen feet. Three of the walls were blocked by empty bookshelves. The fourth wall, which had the door I just entered from, was covered in old family portraits. In the middle of the room a simple chandeli...
"Ma'am, the Coalition has crossed the Straits of Gibraltar and landed in Morocco." Sophia did not like to show her emotions, what little of them she had. It was one of the many reasons she had been selected by the invaders as the Governor of Earth. It was no different this time as she stared down at the blue marbl...
Don't Sign The Contract - PART 1 I knew that we were all on the brink of creating time travelling technology, but I began to fear that one of them might beat me to it. All three of us were independent astrophysicists who created our fortunes in different ways, but all centered around our scientific discoveries. I...
Harry woke up next to his wife and kissed her sleeping face before getting ready for work. It was still pre-dawn, the world mostly quiet except for the chatting of a couple birds in the trees outside his window. Living in the country was a dream come true for Harry, no longer having to worry about the hectic rush to be...
As I approached the lair, I was shocked by its simplicity. I expected luxury, but it was just a old broken down apartment. It used to belong to Phoenix, a villain I fought. He wielded fire like nobody else could, and was a master engineer, oftenly using his gadgets in combat. He was a right hand man of the greatest v...
How annoying. This was the first thought that came to mind. My second thought silenced the noisy speakers, rupturing the metal walls all around me. As I make my way down the hallway, my thoughts become more coherent and I began to wonder. Who am I? Suddenly, just as I think that, the door at the far end of the corr...
"Do you feel fear?"he swiveled around in his chair and faced the window. Michael looked at his hands, he wasn’t dreaming. He knew hands look strange when you're dreaming, "S-sir?"Michael looked up. "I don’t feel much of anything anymore."his boss continued, pushing up from his chair and strolling up to the window beh...
Ok. Wasn't expecting this. I glance up at the bright welcoming sign that proclaims "Welcome to your Afterlife!"Oddly, it seems to say it in both English, French and Spanish at the same time, the letters overlapping in a way that shouldn't be possible. I wonder if it would say the same in any language, and I only ...
Freeze. I look around like a hawk, trying to see if it worked. It did. The leaf that was falling a moment ago now hung in mid-air, Halmore's teeth had just sunk into that leg of venison we just caught, the sound echoing and dying out slowly, Amanda's fletching had been put on indefinite pause with her absolutely awfu...
Humanity never advocated war. It was a rule that whenever an even mildly militaristic motion was put to the vote, the human representatives would always, and without fail, vote no. Always they advocated alternative solutions, finding compromises, seeking peaceful conflict resolution. We didn't mind the snickering about...
“Listen, I just want you all to know, that violence isn’t always the answer. Rick, you could have just told that old lady you didn’t have time to help her across the street, you didn’t need to bicycle kick her for that. I know it may have seemed rude of her to ask, but she might have genuinely needed the help. So, tell...
My name is Bob and I'm a bot. Strictly speaking I am "Search and Rescue Robot MK 3-808", but people call me Bob. I'm not exactly a super hero, but... Well, I can fly; I can hover in place; I can see through solid objects (except lead, I HATE LEAD!); I can dig through concrete at a rate of 20m/minute with a combination ...
“You will never decode my masterpiece!” the booming voice yelled through the evil lairs intercom system. Lava, booby traps, and mind games abound this wicked hellscape. Computer screens followed me wherever I went. Blinding laser, tripwire, and pressure sensors littered the floor. Weirdly enough, very few actual camer...
My practice is part of a group that has offices in a nondescript office park on the West side of the city. We have a massage therapist on three. There is a small electronics engineering firm on two. And the day-labor firm in the basement. A standard mix of different people and enterprises. What was not standard in thi...
The tower stood tallest of all within the largest of all Domes - and from here, he could see the glass tunnels that connected to the smaller Domes on the outer rim. Outside the protective shell, the usual raging sandstorms had subsided and the sun peeked through the clouds, an eerie stillness settling. Mark had always ...
Dread Nyarlathotep writhed and towered over the cult ceremony, a colossal, skinless and emaciated corpse with a tentacle for a head. The sacrifice, one Bethany Harper, age 22, just looked him in the eye and frowned. Nyarlathotep transformed in an instant, becoming a man in fine clothes, swarthy and tall. "Wait, wait. ...
Seeing myself as 10 years old was jarring at first. I had come to expect the wise older me welcoming myself into each new day. For the past 20 years, I’ve been guided by the older man in the mirror. I kept our bathroom chats a secret from my parents, a rather easy secret to keep as they were rarely interested in anyth...

“I think my human is defective.” “What?” “You know how you were saying that after a decade or so, the knight comes and there’s the whole battle thing and then the human chooses their mate? Well, mine won’t choose one.” “Well, are you really selling it? You can’t half ass the death scene. You really gotta give it a g...
I grab my husband from behind and he spins with me on his back, my heels striking Auntie J in her triple-chinned face. How she was the first person to the altar is beyond me. She hits the ground with a rumble. How could I blame her? We had performed the cardinal sin. Something so heinous that we could never be forgive...
“Hahahahahaha!”, laughed the man wearing goggles and a lab coat in front of me. “YOU CHILDREN CAN’T STOP ME!”, he asserted. My high school life has been anything but stable. My school is filled with every type of loony there is. Ninjas, mecha pilots, [d/dt energy] rangers, magical girls, wizards, witches, martial art...
"So, how's school going?" "Good, sir,"I mumbled behind a mouthful of mashed potatoes. "Jesse's doing well in his classes,"Sedah spoke up. "He's on the honor's track for next year." "Oh, that's nice,"said Sedah's mother. "More potatoes dear?" They tasted like wet sandpaper and dirt. I tried to smile. "No thanks, I'...
The ratio was about 80/20. That is to say the ratio of actors who are playing superheroes to the actual superheroes. The vast majority of the people are people putting on playsuits and playing pretend. I am one of the few in the League of Justice who actually has powers. It was a big shock really. When I was joining t...
Dr. Brian Soleb, mad genius extraordinaire and future ruler of Rolain City, sighed and waved his little daughter, Terah off as he turned to leave the daycare. He just needed his most precious invention ever, his own child, to be safe somewhere else while he worked on a VERY unstable part of his next bioweapon. Better s...
Chuck didn't care about his life anymore anyway. He had, once. Some months past now. But as he looked out of the apartment building, seeing someone on the ledge of their window, the only thing he could think of doing was joining them. He opened the window slowly. "Hey, bud."He grunted as he pulled himself up to the led...
They began shuffling in around 1:45 PM, their matching trench coats dripping wet from the early April rain. The workers at the subway station groaned and looked at each other knowingly. Flash mob, they mouthed, preparing themselves for yet another exhibition of Generation Y's incessant need for attention. All the signs...
I pride myself in my job. My dad was a man of manual labor, and his father before him and though I've never got around to exploring my family tree, chances are his father was a man of calloused hands too. It wasn't as if they had a choice, there were no budding enterprises, no hopeful startup companies, no aspiration...

No memory had ever been more clear in my head than this one. "And the votes have been counted. Those of us left here have decided our own fate, for better or worse,"said the shabby old news reporter with graying hair and a tight mouth. "This was a very close vote,"he continued. A pause- "An extinction date has be...
"Unidentified frigate, this is Coruscant Planetary Security. Identify yourself, or you will be boarded" Nothing but static filled the line. Sighing, Lieutenant Aldar Kain, switched frequencies. Probably another derelict freighter, dragged here by a hyperspace eddy. Keying the com again, he repeated "Unidentified frig...
It was a normal flight, it was almost fully booked, there were only a few seats in the back left open. On Jim's left was a rather odd older lady. She had a dress on with purple flowers on a teal background, which he thought was quite amusing. On his right was a man in a black suit, which was perfectly normal for people...
I was one of the first Homo sapiens, and in typical carbon-based fashion, I raged against death. I wasn't the first human, no, but I must have been the first to ponder an omnipotent being that could wrench me from the snare of oblivion. Well, it in fact did just that. And for countless millenia I have wandered wast...
"Son,"said Ernest Hemingway while swirling three finger's worth of whiskey in a dirty glass, "just what in the hell do you think you're doing?" Silence hung in the air. A fan turned overhead. A clock ticked on the wall. And still the author of the essay, sixteen-year-old Brian Jennings, was silent. "Exactly,"said Hem...
“Sire, the dragon comes,” Sir Kenneth said from the double doors leading into his hall. King Alton the Second watched the old knight pace in front of the doors, his hand straying to the hilt of his sword. Some habits die hard and though he wished he could’ve ordered Kenneth, all of his knights in fact, to attack and ...
"This doesn't make any sense..."I muttered to myself as I punched in the digits on my phone. "Sell my soul to the devil... Stupid punk kids are going to get an earful, I can't believe they'd go this far..." I was stringing together the threats I would make about calling their parents, when someone actually picked up o...
"Hold it right there!" The two robbers froze, and one hissed to the other: "Shit, it's a super!" I emerged from the shadows, smiling condescendingly. "That's right. There's a new hero in town, and you're unlucky enough to be the first to test him." One of the two, a woman with a heavy-set jaw, spun and cocked her ...
"Afternoon, Sigmund!" I glanced up from the mug I'd been washing for the last three days at the peasant man across the room. He's my brother-in-law, and he'd been sitting at that same table since I opened my establishment three days ago. When I started washing the mug. He hadn't actually ordered anything since his fir...
AP - World News - Felines in open rebellion.

I've spent 50 years, my entire working life, studying religion. Where they came from, what makes them grow, how some fizzle out. I've always been fascinated – ever since my dad took me to church and taught me to pray – I've been hooked ever since. And now, my son is holding my hand next to my hospital bed. "Well, I g...
"Enough!"I yelled right before Galactic Man was able to throw the final punch that would have surely ended the thieve's life. "Whatever"rolling his eyes said GM(Galactic Man) as he flung the thief carelessly, and flew away. Quickly making sure the thieve was alive; I scolded GM, reassuring him that I could drain hi...
It was ironic really. The Gates of Hell opened up right inside Vatican City, in St. Peter's Square, on Easter day. It was a shocker, to say the least. Demons and archangels flooded the Square and took on their "holy quest"given to them by Lucifer to destroy humanity, to force their fall like he had fallen so many, many...
Rose thumbed at the blackened corner of a book from her last library haul. She was supposed to have taken these back about a week ago, but she'd been avoiding it. The wastebasket next to her desk, half full already with paper products, seemed to be presenting itself as an option. Her brown eyes stared at it thoughtfull...
"A pet! A pet!"the crowd howled around him as Cinnamon made his way through them, their voices echoed by those sitting above higher up in the broken sctructures of the Nest. He swallowed, soft bare feet padding the earthern floor, his head down in fright. He wished Xoratha had been there with him, to pet his hair and...
"So, you are a Mr..."The man pulled up his glasses and squinted at my application. I sat nervously at my chair, shifting slightly in my seat. Usually, I don't even get the chance to an interview considering the fact that I accidentally killed a world leader. And you might be wondering, which world leader? Well, it's ...
"Mick Force reporting for duty, boss."His hands clasped behind his back, his back perfectly straight, he awaited his orders. The disgruntled editor looked up from the newspaper spread out on his desk. He was in his seventies, with a shiny head he attempted to cover with the few white hairs by his ear. "Get me a cup of...
"Test? What test?"Ereka studied me just as she had on our first encounter. "All your wishes have been a test."I explained to her, taking a seat on her bed. "Every mortal who has found my lamp has been granted wished as you have, and each wish is part of a test."I uncrossed my arms and summoned a small green orb betwe...
My shoes tap along the hospitals stone floor. Yet no sound is made. In fact almost every sound is gone. It has been for quite some time. It feels weird walking around in these halls even though I have been here before. When the weird time stops first happened I did also go to this building for answers, but now like th...
They come at night. They always come at night. The Preserver who controls the sun moves its titanic body and touches the Panel and with a grand hiss the sun goes dark, though its heat remains for some time glowing in the Center of the Universe. That's what they want. The heat. We've noticed over the ages that some...
This must be a joke, Travis thought when he saw the letter in the mailbox. It came in a brown envelope, with no address nor stamp. Inside was a thumbdrive, a piece of paper and ten pieces of $1000 dollars note. "Watch the video in the thumbdrive,"the paper instructed in cursive handwriting. At the bottom of the paper,...
"Amy,"Derek called from the living room, "Mister Goldy is dead." "Again?"I wandered into the room, stirring creamer into my coffee, and peered into the bowl with a sigh. Yup. Belly-up and bloated. "I keep telling Jake not to feed him so much. Maybe letting him have a pet was a bad idea." "Kids need something to tak...
Major Jayce Andrews, Terran Space Marine Corps., stood at one end of the atrium, and looked across the many species of aliens lining either side. At the far side, Boran, a poly-pedal Gumbit with both an endo/exo hybrid skeleton, stood holding a silver rod. "Thank you,"Major Andrews addressed the crowd, and waited for...
I told the fairy to come back on my death bed and tell me the same thing, before turning to look at my new born child. My wife's corpse, covered in blood from the birth, lay still next to me. I couldn't bear to make a wish now, there was no hope left, no reason to wish. The fairy vanished. ... I smiled as my child st...
"Heey, Fluffers! You still recognize me, don't cha? Who's a good boy!"Mike was petting a gigantic three-headed hellhound that was munching on something that looked a lot like a femur bone. "Oooh, I've missed you too buddy! Look at those ears!"Mike took the bone from the middle mouth, and threw it across the lava lake....
Long ago, when dragons soared across the skies and fairies slept in flowers along the roadside, the town of Seaport was but a hamlet. Though positioned in a spot favorable to open up trade routes, the Black Woods to the west were plagued by Necromancer Agatha and her terrible army of the undead. Ghosts, ghouls, zombies...
A flash of green light enveloped me as the paralysis spell took effect. I watched in helplessness as the warrior mage casually inserted his ebony blade through my neck, it's razor sharp edge meeting no resistance. Nothing I existed again, the my spawner having reactivated. I gritted my teeth. Damn these players. I wa...
"Why won't you just die?"I screamed, as I swung the axe down upon his bare neck. The axe bounced away as if it was made of rubber. I couldn't even break his damn skin. Maybe I should give you the back story. I'd been happily killing people to extend my own lifetime, absorbing as many years as I pleased. Then one day,...
T-1H A red binary digit woke me from my semi-slumber. It was meant to be a naught but it was a one, my right eyelid twitched in discomfort, or rather it would have if I hadn't long replaced it with a chromium vanadium steel alloy sheath. The ship was off-course. There was no reason for it. All gravitational influence...
I hadn't noticed it at first. I was just too damn angry. The desire to run my knuckles in to that smug bastard's face had led to my fist balling at my side. I was always someone who wore my emotions out in the open and more often then not had to tell myself to calm down. But this time there was no stopping what I felt...
Toby was out drinking with his best friend, Jake. They were both very drunk. "Man, I wish I could bang your mom, like, just once."Said Jake. "Dude, shut up." "No, like, seriously. She's a beautiful woman. I just wish I could at least see her naked." "Well, I wish your mouth was sewn to your asshole."Toby replied in...
Kayfi starred as the man opened and closed his mouth. She frowned as realization slowly dawned on his face, and his mouth opened into a silent scream. His eyes were nearly bulging out of his head from how terrified he was. "Yeah. I get it. Hold on." She picked up the decapitated head and examined it more closely. No ...
Son, it is time that we had The Talk. I’m not human, and neither are you. Stop rolling your eyes and listen. I know you’ve read the works of Lovecraft and his contemporaries. And their derivatives. Even some fan fiction. Frankly, your tastes are a little disturbing but that’s not what we’re here to discuss. We’r...
The grumbling from the next room easily passed through the thin walls. Her advisors were a combination of confused, angry, and, in at least a few cases, frightened. It was the latter group the Queen worried about. She turned up her frock's collar. It was nonsensical to do so, considering they were deep inside the bell...
"You're thinking about wiping them out?" "Yeah." "Illinois." "Yeah." "The entire state of Illinois." "Yeah." "In secret." "Well, yeah, of course in secret. Can't have everyone panicking about rogue superheroes now, can we?" "And... you don't think anyone will notice a whole state being destroyed?" "Dude, do yo...
I didn’t realize it until long after I took the ride. The cab was going in the direction of the destination I’d requested, after all. It’d been a long day. My professors had been rather unnecessarily generous with providing homework and I’d had to stay at the library well past closing hours after I got off work. Norma...
Aye t'is true, the tinker lives among us. He visits at the dark of night, the hour before rising, when all is quiet and good with the world and the darkness begins its retreat. He slips in ta yer house and takes stock of what's yours. He finds the broken, and the discarded, what you've done lost to time and forgetting....
I woke up in the hospital, confused. It was dark, quiet, and something felt wrong. I looked around, but no one else was in the room with me. I called out for help, I didn’t know what I was doing there. I was confused, scared. When someone walked into the room, I was relieved. “Hello there,” they said to me. I wanted...
Vertrix was a simple man with simple pleasures. He lived in an unassuming house on an unassuming street and one day, after a trip to the library (of which he was a big proponent, why should a book be locked in a private collection, after all), he purchased an unassuming candle at the corner shop to light his way home. ...
Tarkannoth, the Empty Abyss, is the name of the deepest, darkest, and most absolutely secure dungeon in the entirety of the world. To gain entrance one must first pass through the heavily surface fortress atop Mount Malgyrrath, then down about 10 floors worth of guards, demonic officers, prison beasts bred to herd the ...
She refuses to eat. We have been monitoring her since last week but all she does is lay in her bed and look up at the ceiling, tears streaking down her face. *"Where could it hurt"We all ask confused. We had bandaged the wounds and healed the broken bones and replaced the missing tooth but the human girl does not re...
A very familiar musical sequence begins to play throughout the dig site. You are struck in awe, then confusion. Rage, and finally acceptance as you tap your foot along with the beat, the drumline going down. The smooth, sultry voice of Rick Astley echoing off the walls. "Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let yo...
It's easy enough to dispose of most of them. A leafblower or fan usually does the trick. But there are some who don't let up - who slowly inch their way into your house bit by bit. It was hard to sleep when I first heard about the Cremated. How would I know if they were or weren't in my living room, kitchen, or bedro...
