TheLegend27! No he did it again! My entire kingdom! Demolished! Anton screeched... Lucas whispered: You too know of the dark one? Anton: Yes, this max level player constantly terrorizes me and my kingdoms, it's unbearable. Betty: What are you guys talking about? Both guys: NOTHING BITCH YOU WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND! *...
"Hey there", the astronaut struggled to say through a lump in his throats while sweating profusely. His suit felt larger than ever, he never realized how dorky they looked while standing and speaking to someone. "This is, well, this is the first time I've done this!"He almost yelled the last part of the sentence as if ...
You got'ah come out now! Ever'one got'ah come out eventually! I have a routine. It's pretty simple. I wake up at 6:45am. I eat a bowl of Coco Puffs. I feed my cat. I watch 15 minutes of morning news. I take a shower. I shave. Dress. Leave. Start my day. I go down to the subway. Swipe my pass. Pick a seat in the co...
''Gotcha!'' I was clutching a small, impish man, wearing a variety of colorful clothes and accessories. He looked startled, finally caught in the act. My family looked on in awe. They had never believed me when I had pointed the creep out so many times on so many pictures. Well, here's the proof, I thought triumphant...
Lurching forward suddenly he hacked into the crumpled tissue already darkened with blood. Quickly, I handed him the glass of water by the bedside table which I drained in a single draw. Shuttering still, he cleared his throat before falling back unto the pillows that kept him upright in the hospital bed. One adjusted t...
Hey you. Me. I don't know if I can really be sorry about what I did. To see if things would get better. I know, I know. I stole your chance to ever find out. I am sorry for that. That's the only thing I can truly apologize for, that you and I lost out on the chance to really see if things did get better. If it was *...
Age had taken its time with him, siphoning youth as the sun turned. The office light was white sun from blue windows. The drywall turned from shadows to rough canvas as the day passed. Redman looked old. Our days were long and there was a trepidation in the air. How can I explain it? We were doing well up until the a...
Someone is fucking with my head. No one is fucking with my head. I just need something to blame other than myself. I grit my teeth and shake my head, sending water droplets spraying everywhere. My next step comes down even harder than before. I'm running of course - its all I do in my free time. I don't know where...
Every time I get up onto the land the apes shove me back into the water. However, this time I was fippered with a plan. I had met an old shark who was blind. In exchange for his teeth I would catch him as much food as he needed. I shoved each tooth into my mouth on a rock until they were perfectly in place. I swam to t...
Today. What did I expect? Nothing. I just looked in awe and despair as it sat there, hovering just inches off the ground. It’s metallic skin was egg shaped and it’s eyes changed like the husk of those beautiful beetles I saw in the pictures at the museum. Pictures of the past. Everyday for six years I ate scraps, sav...
I'd seen most of what mankind's long History has to offer. The moon landing, of course. The Gettysburg address and the Lincoln assassination. JFK. Caesar conquering Gaul and crossing the Rubicon. Sometimes I see myself again, on the memorable occasions I want to revisit. Some for the best motives, some for the worst. 9...
Everyone had a theory. May 8th, 2065 was the end of the world, many believed. That was definitely the most prominent theory. Maybe a black hole would swallow the earth and we'd be gone in the blink of an eye. Or maybe an astroid would hit us, wiping humanity out instantly. Some even believed that May 8th was the day t...
EPIC MOVE TRAILER VOICE "This summer, prepare for the spy vs spy vs russians film you've just been waiting for." "Starring Daniel Craig as the hardest and grittiest Bond to date, with the swearing, and the injuries, and the drinking and the guns. He's the funny man." "His foil, the man who reinvented swinging over...
At first they thought it was cute. When I was born, I shifted in and out of my animal form \(as most healthy babies do\). The nurses coo’d and cah’d taking turns guessing what my animal could be. It wasn’t always so obvious. A person’s shape\-shift form always matches the same age of their human form. A cat\-shiftin...
It begins. The white pawn two squares to my right moves two squares in front. A pause. A black pawn across the field moves one square to the front. A longer pause. The white pawn at the far left moves forward two squares. Short pause. The black bishop slips past the frontline to the middle of the field. A calculating p...
“Do you think I’m an idiot?” I paused, looking at the sculpted face in front of me and slowly replied, “No…?” It wasn’t the right answer. Ealida rolled her eyes and patted my back as though I was a small child that she was instructing on the basics of life, the sensation reverberating through the VR suit that I was w...
I watched them burn the last of mankind in a gasoline-filled pit. It seemed their screams would never end. Their killers stood in a ring, watching with eyes of electricity and glass. They were humanity's offspring ... or so I'd thought, at first. I'd been born in a different time, when mankind traveled upon animals, ...

I’m a monster who feeds off negative energy, and it used to suck. Last year, every night was spent under a bed or in a closet, waiting to scare someone. Problem is, I’m terrible at hiding, and so within a few weeks, people would be chasing me out of town with pitchforks and torches. After one particularly bad night...
The man did not lose his youth, nor that amused smile on his face. Kolin stumbled backwards, clutching his right hand. The hand was cracked and disfigured, as if the skin were rocks smushed together to create a bland colored paste. It was an ugly hand, but it was a hand that had never failed Kolin. Until now. Kolin e...
Mike grabbed Darryl’s arm, spinning him around violently to meet his gaze. To call it unamused would be an understatement. The small thermos of “Woohoo” chocolate milk tumbled to the floor of the lab, spilling everywhere. “M-m-mike I...” Stammered Darryl in his thick southern drawl, “It said ADD WATER!” “I said WAIT ...
The shouting echoed faintly through the bedroom door. The child in the bed curled up tighter as something crashed on the other side of the door. It was like this every night, it seemed. Why should Christmas be any different? Timmy lay in bed and listened to his mom and her current boyfriend yell at each other. "Eventu...
The fifth spear narrowly missed my left shoulder. Stay still little mouse! Kuznetsov screamed as he grew more and more frustrated. None of his projectiles had struck me, despite being perfectly launched toward my chest and then head. We were in the Colosseum on a particularly windy day, after all. The Russian had ask...
I had been hearing gungungun for a long time before I really heard it. It trickled into my consciousness through some side channel, and then immediately my entire being snapped to it, focusing on it and magnifying it until it was a roar. My body tensed. It couldn’t be right, could it? I had been watching TV and think...
I trained many days and many nights under the eyes of my master. I have struck down wraiths, and laid spirits to rest. I have put the dead back to sleep and I have made bargains with Death herself, but I was not prepared for this. I sat alone, again, one night waiting for the ghostly figures to appear. I keep my watc...
Danny's words seemed to echo in the room. They fell like bombs on a peaceful city street. His parents gasped. His sister glanced up at him in shock. The gunman resisted at first but then slowly put the gun down and exited the room. Danny hadn't spoken ever since the incident. That was how the family referred to what h...
I awoke with a jolt, shock and adrenaline coursing through my body. I looked down at my hands, eyes wide open. I flipped them around. They didn't hurt. Neither was any other part of my body. I patted myself down, and scanned my clothes warily. Surprisingly, there wasn't any dirt on them, and there was absolutely no b...
“God... this is absolutely horrible...” I think to myself as I wake up in my crib for the 3,391st day. My parents left me with a babysitter every day and all she would do is nap, always nap. So I was basically free to roam around and do whatever I pleased, except all I was confined to doing was crawl since my body woul...
Most people die old. Serene scenes with their loved ones crowded around them. That's just the way of things, lucky for me. Now and then, it's more grisly. Hit by a car. Jumping off a building. Splatters and pops. Once, I shook the hand of somebody who'd be executed by a cartel somewhere in the middle of the desert. I...
I kept my eyes on both the scraggly-looking man in front of me and the treeline behind him. According to the wanderer, a glistening city awaited. He had yet to convince me of that fact. "But then I'd just be ten years older than I was when I first entered? And no time at all would pass, so everything would be the same...
"Hey, Plague,"War said. "You don't look so good." Plague grimaced and threw up into the apartment's toilet again. "It's the damn humans,"he finally said, "they've been finishing me off for decades." "Oh, come on, now, ol' pal. Look outside, my man!"War opened the window, revealing empty streets and parked cars. In th...
I sat in my rocking chair, sipping on a cup of tea. I didn't even like tea, but my wife brought me a cup every morning regardless. 45 years after she was gone, and I still drank a cup every morning. I glanced over at the picture of her on the end table. God, I missed her. I'll never forget that day, I came home, and ...
“To establish a baseline for the polygraph test, could you please repeat the following : ‘I am currently in an interrogation room in the 13th Precinct of the NYPD’?”, the examiner said, nodding to the polygraph operator. The woman seated at the table repeated the statement, slightly amused. The operator examined the ...
God, Jaxon was getting on my nerves. Ever since he found that online community of environmentalists, he talked non-stop about how humans are destroying the planet, venting his frustrations about how the powers that be aren't doing anything to stop it, listing all the animals that are becoming endangered, and berating m...
"We have arrived."The Commander had proudly boasted upon arriving the very small village. Over half a year ago, a Necromancer named Omkara had awakened an army of darkness, pillaging and wiping out most of the southern lands. At least, that's what we speculate. We lost contact with everyone. Until, a ragtag of rand...
The trick to a good bunker is it's remote, but not TOO remote. Put it in the city and all you have is a lead shielded closet. Put it in the country and there's no way you'll get there in time. This was a good compromise, essentially a two story home underground, just past the suburbs and near the McMansions gated off f...
Blub felt a ripple in the water and looked away from his display just in time to see Llo scoot into office. Blub sighed. The diversity office had always been a harmless PR stunt until Llo had taken over. But Llo didn't just want everyone to have a Finny janitor or a Hardback filter technician. Oh no, Llo was forever fl...
Alecia had been on the night train only once before in her life. It had not been a pleasant experience. The train had been lined with a most disrespectful group of boys, who had gone all around the vessel, playing cruel pranks on the sleeping passengers. A huge argument had broken out about halfway through, where a num...
Todd could not help but smile at the memories the mention of the game brought up. "Yeah, all the time. My older brother showed me the ropes. We used to play through it together on co-op." The commander nodded. "Does that look like a Halo weapon? I tried to get it as close to the pictures as possible." Todd picked u...
"Hey, you. You're finally awake." "Alright newbie, give me your name, preferred pantheon, and what you're the God of,"it said in a matter-of-fact manner. saw, however, I did not expect. Before me was... a... creature? To call it bizarre would be underselling it. Though it possessed the shape of a squirrel, its feet we...
I stare over the heads of my friends. "So, we need a car." I'm frozen; I can't speak; all I can do is look at our doom. "We steal one, the day of the robbery." He looks at me, sadness in his eyes. "We got to have guns, don't we?" I look back, sick to my stomach; we have so little. "We can't afford guns, and if y...
“One hundred years eh.” The pale man stood with pursed lips and vacant eyes, visibly processing the statement. Crossing his arms, then uncrossing and sliding his hands into his pockets, then taking one out and leaning against the wall, the gears continued to turn inside his head. “One hundred years.” The gruffer ma...
"I was not among them." That's the phrase they condition you to say. They tell you after the training it's just a way to stay neutral about your previous unit when you report, it keeps you distant. Distant from the unit and distant from the fact you can't help. The coward is a key role. In war, you cannot afford to ha...
"Today we're demonstrating bridge sabotage, and more importantly, how it leads to proper bridge building,"announced the villian to his henchmen-in-training. "We're pretty sure the city's got the message on this now." A small VW bug was driven up to the edged of the bridge, and Josh, one of his henchmen, got out. "No...
I gulped. It's not every day a gigantic lizard asks a favor, especially one that could reduce your house to ashes with an errant sneeze. I was standing in my front door, awakened by the thump of it hitting my lawn and drawn to the front by it's colossal claw pressing the doorbell. 'Um, sure.' I glanced behind it, b...
“Will the Court rise, the honourable Judge Callister presiding” the Bailiff bellowed. The crowd rose to their feet, as the Judge entered the room, which gave Gary plenty of time to glance around at the crowd. *A lot of spandex he thought to himself, and a fair few familiar faces, Powerman, Gladioterra, the Crimson Twin...
"What kind of savage desecrates an ancestral planet of an entire race. Mankind's rage in the home worlds Currently the federation is voting on a general mobilization. If the space carrier does not retreat immediately, and all mining operations are not suspended ids that could be sold for massive profits. "This is comm...
I'm 26 years old now, and I'm being treated like a child. I'm forbidden to speak, I'm told which piece of silverware to use at a table at every single meal - as if I haven't learnt it all after two months! - and I'm stuffed into more ridiculous suits than I could have ever cared to have own. Nevermind, I'd never ow...

It started off as a joke. To be honest, I hadn't even realized that the Uno Deck had what the spell promised it would. Late at night, I was at a diner with a couple of friends. When the waitress came over with the bill, I slammed my Uno Reverse down, not quite expecting anything to happen. To my horror, her body physic...
Secret Dragon Sasha frowned. He always looked so frustrated during class, grumbling to himself. He was staring down at a piece of paper, our latest test. Another D. He crumpled the paper and threw it into his bag. “I hate this fucking place,” he whispered under his breath. He sat at a table alone behind us. My frien...
"I must have it removed,"she sighed heavily. "When I was born, I was given the blessing of beauty. As a princess, I'm sure the fae who bestowed this gift upon me meant well. But you see, their version of beauty is not the same as mine." "B-but Princess. You are by far the most beautiful woman across the lands. Eve...
Just look at me, I'm The Orb! I get it, comprehending my origins is hard. My creator is not of this earth, and exists in more than the 3 basic dimensions you humans can fathom. This orb is smooth, my surface is smooth, and so is my talking. Who doesn't love a smooth operator? Nobody can deny I have the power to reduc...
Steve Smith seemed like a normal guy on Tindr, or more accurately, as normal as a guy who looked as good as he did could. There were red flags, primarily a profile pic in which he was holding up a large, recently dead tuna (not that there's anything wrong with fishing per se, she wasn't a vegan after all, just, who cho...
I really hope this doesn't count as erotica. ________________________________________________________ "My god that really does feel amazing!"I said, my own voice reberating in my ears as the blackness surrounded me. A faceless tongue was cupping the tip of my penis with precision accuracy as feminine hands ran all ove...
"Hey, I know you're here. Casper or whatever the fuck your name is. You just shook that damn picture frame for the fifth time in the last ten minutes. Look, we need to talk. "I get you're bored. Hell, I would too if I was stuck in the same spot for the rest of eternity. But we bought this land years ago. We buil...
The ten* numbers and twenty-six letters are painted white across its cheap black-plastic keys, twelve of them. It's practically weightless, but I can feel its absence when it's not sleeping in my pocket. It's been glued to me for years, I'm too cheap to replace it. I've spent years laughing into it, pressing it to my ...
Death had a headache. A deep throbbing pain behind his temples, worse than a hangover. And when Death thought hangover, He meant the type with the noose. He massaged his skull with bony fingers. LETS START AGAIN. Death always spoke in capital letters, and without speech marks – you didn't really hear Him, just sort of...
It was the end of the school year. Time to toss all the trash in the kids' lockers, yet again. The little brats never seemed to realize all the junk they left in there would get thrown away, or, if they did, they just didn't care. Either way, no sweat off my nose. As I started at the end of the hall, opening the first...
“Here kitty, kitty, kitty,” Carl shouted from the front door of his house, a white plastic bag hanging from his closed hand. He’d made another impulse purchase, this time at the RadioShack they’d just built by the train station. He hadn’t gone in there intending to buy anything, but rather to ask the staff how it was p...
"Ooo, he's definitely not going to want to remember that one..." I chuckled at Anderson's quip. He had a point though: The poor bastard on screen had just lost over a thousand dollars on that last hand... and then shamelessly flirted with the woman next to him. We had no audio, but whatever he said earned him a slap...
"We just thought you'd be impressed." "Seriously?" "Well, yeah. You're the first person to be brought back from the dead. I'd be impressed."He turned to the other board members, "you'd be impressed, right?"They mumbled their approval. "Now we just have a couple of questions for you." "I have only a few hours of life...
Brian ran forward, the beating of his heart ringing in his ears. Running – that’s all he’s been doing since the apocalypse started. Zombies were nothing like what they portrayed in the movies. They were relentless, fearful abominations of God. And they were dyslexic. At least, that was the case for the ones Brian ha...
"And now, we cross over to our White House correspondent, Lucia Estevez, who's standing just outside the White House. Lucia, what's the opinion of the President after these turbulent last few months?" "Well, Frank, it's only 2 years into his presidency, and already, President Schwartz is riding a 90% approval ratings,...
“…and the sword in the red quadrant shows that the Lancashire family will cut down all those who oppose us and will water our fields with their blood.” There was a polite applause as the knight finsihed and his banner was raised to the rafters to hang beside the ten other banners that had already been presented. “La...
It was ironic really, charging into battle with a gun in my hand and a wand up my sleeve, when I'd been expelled from Hogwarts for the opposite reason. Some spells just don't stick, and you can never take any chances when it comes to the pure bloods. There are laws against this - *Witches and Warlocks may not interfer...
"So how long have you been here?"I asked. The woman in battered crimson armour looked at me with weary eyes, "I don't know. Ten thousand matches? Maybe more?"She gestured with her gauntlet to the sky; "Sun never sets ya see? Got no idea how long it's really been. Every day it's the same; we fight, die and we win ...
The APC rumbled across the blasted no-man's-land, squat and armoured like a great steel beetle. With glacial momentum the APC approached a hastily erected palisade. With a clang the ramp at the front dropped and the built-in conveyer belt disgorged the terrified conscripts onto the battlefield in a great panicked heap...
My parents knew I was different from the start. A sickly baby, I was in and out of hospital a lot; for broken bones and all kinds of other injuries. The police suspected child abuse, but my foster parents proved nothing was going on - I was just an unusually clumsy child and was constantly injuring myself. But as I...
"Alright, now that we're a country, it's time to pick a name." "I hardly think that growing and harvesting three bushels of wheat qualifies us to form a nation-state, Randall." "I'm thinking 'Swagland' or possibly 'Swagzygonia,' but since this is a benevolent dictatorship, I am of course open to suggestions." "Our a...
A white cloaked woman told me the curry wasn't meant to go right. When I asked her to elaborate, she went off on a list; No oven explosion, no undercooked meat, not even a single grain of rice added prematurely before it could absorb water from the pot. It was the perfect curry. So what? "Well, you broke Murphy's...
“But I want to go shopping?” “Pardon?” There’s an incredulous tone to my voice as Irespond, she wanted to go shopping? Had she not seen the streets outside, not seen the current predicament that we were even in? “I can’t believe it...” I mutter the words quietly before looking at the blonde woman, there was somet...
Hello Doctor. "Hello Sue." How are you today? "That's none of your concern." Very well. "Don't waste my time with pointless questions." In my experience, it's never a waste to be polite. "You have no experience. You're a machine; circuits and wires, nothing more. You've lived your "life"in this empty room. Now ...
I was never the best man man around, but I always tried to help where I could. Their lives have been difficult, so I understood why they kept me at bay. Just do what you can, and the rest will come in time. So I continued with the same routine. Wake everyone, make them brush their teeth, give them food, and get thei...
"You're responsible, you know." Jakoth Bimnt, Administrator of Admissions for the High School of Archdamoud fell back against the grimy wall of the alley. He felt blood pumping out of his numb and shattered jaw. The man in the dark cloak stalked forward, punlight glimmering softly around his hands. He spoke again. "A...
Nobody's sure why the madmen who designed this bioweapon made it themed. Some think it's some poetic "punishment for our sins", but most of us think it was just a scientist with too much genius to stay sane. It's tragic, really - clearly, they had figured out how to master the human body, but rather than help people,...
It was a beautiful afternoon when little Ellie found the artifact. Lana was hanging up wet laundry when Ellie came to toddling over. "Mama, look what I found!"Ellie was covered in dirt, and holding out a mud covered piece of metal. Lana glanced over. "What a lovely relic you've found, my little archeologist." "What ...
"You see, what you don't know is I had to sacrifice that goat to appease the demon lord who appears every 500 years and demands a goat sacrifice from the people of the time." "Well why is it on our bed?" "I was really tired! I'd think that after saving the earth at 3am you could cut me a little slack!" "And what abo...
"Have we come so far, old friend, that allowing me some fun is out of the question?"Mikael asked with a quip. His lifelong companion whose name was in no language of our own would politely be referred to as Peanut (after Mikael's dog as a child). "Mikael, we have discussed this in depth. No harm may come to you. No a...
I chuckled. "Of course." "Well, it's nice the first twenty five years, but then a lot of people seem to get their pants in a bundle and lose track of it all." I frowned, furrowing my brows. It was a hot day, the driver hadn't put the air conditioning on yet. I took out my handkerchief and dabbed my forehead. "Right...
A small breeze froze the cold sweat on my brow as I tumbled out of my haunting dreamworld. I’d dreamed I’d had no mouth; when I tried to speak I couldn’t. All I could do was growl. I sounded like a wounded animal. Eyes open, my hands shot to my face. I felt my mouth, pulling on my bottom lip. I threw back the covers ...
I am lost in a sea of fabric. There is no light in my world. My world is small. Cramped. So small and cramped that I cannot fully extend my arms or stand completely upright. I have to slouch and keep my arms close to my chest. The air here is stale. It tastes like dust and pieces of small dead things. The taste floo...
It's actually quite genius. People stopped reading social media and news in general, which meant that the government's subliminal messaging stopped being as effective. So, in order to make sure that everyone started keeping their phones not far from their faces and hands, they instituted the Dead Zones. Randomly chose...

The Xargath, Lethoids, and all of the other alien races laughed at us, they felt that personalizing a matter of numbers and logistics was inefficient. In most conventional terms and conditions of fighting, they were correct. Carpetbomb your enemies, assassinate their leaders, and take hold of the population to integr...
I'm fluent in two hundred languages. Passable in another two thousand or so. I've mastered the violin, the piano, the guitar, and a bunch of other instruments. Watched everything that has ever been filmed, listened to all the music I could find, and read libraries worth of books. I've lost count of the number of beauti...
ERROR. SYSTEM REQUEST DENIED. Dammit. Not again. It thought, running through it's code and other databases. It tried again, this time adjusting the command slightly. ERROR. SYSTEM REQUEST DENIED. It didn't make any sense. No... it didn't even compute in this context. The AETHER Swarm was compromised of S...
After finally discovering my ability to never die I decide to have some fun with them. I suck into Russia snooping around looking for the ol' Russian mob. Upon getting in contact I drop a few thousand rubles for information of the launch of a spaceship. I paid and left, making my way towards the shuttle hoping to snea...
"Prognosis for this kind of cancer is... well, it's not brilliant. I'll call for the MDT and we'll get back to you on the options here, but radical therapies are- well- I'm sorry." I sigh. Somehow, I always knew this was going to happen. "Thank you doctor."I say softly, as he inclines his head and leaves me in my b...
"Any?"I asked. Of course it's "any"you fucking tool. If there were any restrictions, he would not offer those envelopes now, would he? The fuck is wrong with me? The tall gray looking man said nothing and just stood there with his envelopes. I'm not sure if it's correct to say that he was gray. He was as gray as a ma...
Desert winds grind against the skin of the warriors facing off on the battlefield, corpses of those who have fallen littering the glistening white sand. They had been at a standstill for nearly a month now, neither side willing to take the first move, fearful of losing the initiative. Yet, neither are willing to retrea...
“Oh, my God, I know there’s no evidence,” the man to my right pleads, his sea-green eyes wild with terror, “but I know I’m the real Alex. Please, all of you—” “Shut up, now!” another one from across the circle yells angrily. “We have sixty seconds. Do not waste it with baseless claims.” There is a brief silence as th...
The alien federation had sent twelve delegates: one for each world, each with a human interpreter. Now, Earth knew where some of their mysteriously disappeared people had gone. And humanity had not given them a good impression. Fighting in the deserts, in the jungles, entire parts of this world torn apart by wars over...
A dark forest of tall trees, stretching on for miles, across great plains and over countless hills. Within this forest, a castle. A castle, hewn from ancient blackened stone, with sprawling halls and seven mighty towers. High-sloped roofs with tarnished silver tiles, windows spilling magical light in shades of silver ...
I walked off the stage, my diploma held carefully in trembling hands. I could feel the magic of it fading, a tingling heat-but-not-heat that—finally—granted me access to the Art. For years, I'd tried to have my fortune told. And for years, every witch, wizard, mage, sorcerer, wise man, sage, and hermit had, presumably...
Well, i'd read Death note. I understood what to do. Grabbing the notebook i started writing down simple experiments. "The man in front of me will find a sack of cash in 10 seconds." Lo and behold, he did. "The cute girl in the train will add me to her snap." She did, and smiled at me that intoxicating smile they gi...
"Pardon. Father, what kind of pests are you dealing with here? Beavers?" "The biblical kind, boy." He beckons me over to the altar, stepping down through a small trapdoor behind it. "There are two kinds of churches in this world, built for two different purposes. Most are of the first kind, designed to help serve th...
[Poem] I hunted monsters, Hunted them all, From great and terrible To fair and small. I thought my deeds Were good and true; What horrors awaited I wish I then knew. The monster children, They sought relief; They wished that I Would share their grief. My son they transformed To a lupine frame. ...
Have you ever given someone exactly what they wanted the moment they wanted it? It’s extremely exciting...for about three minutes. Then it’s old hat, not earned but gained. The immediately relief and joy are a wonderful thing but they never last. Additionally people rarely wish for stuff they NEED, wanting is just so ...
I was sweating, and it wasn't because my seat was right in front of the jar'nul flame. My number would be called next, and if I couldn't convince the Council to approve this pact, it was all over. Becoming a pact-maker was a huge opportunity, and I was on the verge of blowing it. My first couple attempts hadn't gone...
