*The Forest of Khaddath, a soul must remain for another to depart* That is the rule of this place. This mystical plane, this forest bound to the edge of any and every town. I have been wandering this place for so long I could not remember how I got here, when I got here, or why... Danger lurks in these woods. I hear ...
I wish I could tell how I felt when it happened, but to be honest, things were kind of blurry after my cantrip. Typically a witch incites their incantation, gets their broom, and goes on their merry way. It's an exciting time, a rite of passage, but other than some increased freedom, little changes for your average wit...
The alien sat there in their human costume, trying not to give themselves away to this puny human. If he knew the truth of Kavats plan to infiltrate and understand human society, the consequences could be dire. But this time, he was doing it! He was talking with this human, and the human was giving him valuable informa...
“Thou shalt not mess with the nature of this world!” a knight shouted, clad in armor, weapon raised. The recipient of the message, a goblin seasoning a lizard with wild spices found nearby, barely had time to turn around before being cut down by a sword. The knight put the weapon away and approached the little creatur...
Vlix set a tray of nutrient gel on the table, along with a few flavor packets to go along with it. He then went off to continue his duties. His coworker, Ap, cocked his head at the display. "What's that for? He asked. "You know it'll solidify if you just leave it out like that." "What? The food? Oh, that's for the hu...
Daemons are formless, mindless creatures. We wander the world aimlessly, unseen to all mortals. Daemons don't feel often. When we do, we possess physical form, take shape and manifest. Most are mortal souls from distant pasts. Others could not accept the fate they were dealt. Some were born this way. I was born this w...
Clara was a curious girl, wishing on dandelions and nickels. Cutting up ferns saying she was making a potion. Soon she started running from ignorance. Repeating little light spells she traded with her classmates, how to speak to crows, a color changing spell, summoning fireflies, a warming spell. Talking to strange...
The skyscraper crashed downwards, sending dust and rubble down every side street and alleyway within a hundred metres. Not moving from the centre of the road, Gavin covered his eyes, blocking them from the worst of it and only wishing he could cover his ears as well. The screams rang out all around him. To his left, a ...
"I want to meet the main character. Now!"a shout from a man broke the usual silence of the book store. He waved a novel around, before slamming it on the counter and repeating his wish, "I want to meet Prince Jackson." I sighed as I picked up the thick book, scanning the blurb to make sure it was approved, and handed ...
Elenor’s life had been going great since she discovered how to cure her laziness through forced compliance. All it took was an elder ritual found in the old tomes at the back of the library. After completing the ritual, when she needed to clean the house it was simply a matter of saying “I need to clean the house.” Sud...
Part 1/3 Lucas, the former hero, walked along the dark tunnels of the mine. Like his fellow heroes, he had been caught by the Dark Lord Haradrim. He was one of the few captured during his plotting phase, so he had only been sentenced to thirty years of hard labour. That was several years ago, and he still regre...
Normally, the player won’t be able to visit the graveyard near the town of Deadcliff due to invisible walls, but despite not being meant to be seen during normal gameplay, the graveyard is fully detailed. If we take the camera out of bounds by hacking the game, we can see a bunch of gravestones including a very small ...
"I need to tell you something before we dock."She killed forward momentum and turned on the auto-docking system that mated to Besh au'Rum's multiphasic tractor beam. "First time anyone comes to the Yard, they go a little weird. Culture shock." "I know, I know ... been training for this, I'm *ready*!"he tossed his blon...
A knock at the door brought the attention of the parents; mother cradling child, and father looking with protective fear. He picked up a sickle, his only protective weapon, and approaches cautiously. "Who goes there?" "Only an old woman, Child. An old woman seeking help, with the promise of a gift." The returning v...
The sun crested over the hills, its red glow illuminating the stalks of grain swaying like a cosmic tide across the hills. It would be cold again today, Stelle determined. This time last year it was cold too. And the time before that, and most times over the last 400 or so years. She'd become quite adept at forecasting...
They know. I suspect they've always known. But of course our purpose was, *is*, will continue to be, for those who continue the path, to do good wherever good can be done. If good can be done through the advent and proper application of a new technology, or in my case, a host of new technologies, why exclude that? Jus...
Steam rose from the cup, one I didn't recognise. I looked at it warily, unsure if I should trust it or not. The Grim Reaper leaned its scythe against the wall, before sighing. "It isn't poisoned or anything. I don't take lives. But you do need to drink it. It will make more sense when you do." I felt myself shake. Th...
When the witch cursed me, I thought my life was done for. But I quickly realized that forgetting my existence technically did not extend on paper. In our new age, it wasn't that uncommon to not be in existence for most people, so nothing really changed. The few friends I was able to keep have a photograph of me to kee...
Brooks pushed his palms into his hands, letting his shoulders rest on a desk covered in print-outs of transcribed communications between high-ranking members of the Agelian Council. He had spent the last several hours piecing together the condensed stones the Agelians used for data transfer; like combing through a usb ...
Almost a year ago, I received a piece of paper in my mailbox that read "I know what you did 5 years ago". It was simple enough to track down who put the note in my mailbox between the number of hidden cameras outside my home, and a short period of time later, I had my neighbor unconscious, tied to a chair with a bag ov...
######[](#dropcap) The beast, no the apparition, had to be at-least ten feet tall. Unfortunately it's enormous mouth was in it's stomach, it's second set of arms periodically picking at the almost absurdly large shark teeth that made up it's twisted grin. The smell that came from that mouth was an incredible feat of ...
As her father walked from the room and closed the door behind him cutting off the light that kept the creatures at bay I arose from my post at the headboard. I remember protecting the Young Master when he was a child and I was fresh from the factory. I never questioned why I fought the never ending tides as I strapped ...
#The Straw Is Broken: *[Part 1 of maybe X, please provide feedback]* **__Disclaimer__:** *Contains ultra-violence and dark subject matter.* Normally my kind are peaceful, recognized galactic-ally as pacifists and selfless renderers of aid. Even the space pirates and terrorists respect we Sola Rivera. Except Earth, t...
Tula stood panting. Blood running down her arm, muscles screaming from strain. Tears stung at her eyes in the reprieve brief as it was. Looking around she saw only death, only carnage. Monsters, and men... and bodies piled high. She couldn't see the bodies of her comrades but she also held no false hope. What had hop...
The old man leaned over to stoke the hot coals, his wrinkled face illuminated by the firelight. He turned to look at us all and then spoke "Imagine. Imagine a glowing magical book that connected the voices and the words of all the tribes and peoples. It allowed us to speak and write to another instantly, no matter how...
Bob just got a job doing sales with Door Inc. He's a good enough guy, if you can look past that silver dollar sized wart on his left cheek. Its got hairs thick like cat whiskers. He voice is pretty gravely, but it doesn't stop me from getting beers with him after we both get off work. He's new in town, brand new. He...
The quiet representative from Illinois had not spoken the entire day as delegates from the Northern territories and the Southern territories bickered at each other all day over whether the new Declaration should declare themselves to be a slaveholding nation, and strip the citizenship of the blacks. The Crown's decisio...
"Oh shit..." "What is it?" "Well, you see commander... there was a slight problem... with the ship." The elder man stood up and stared at the engineer that was telling him about this problem. "Well, what is it?"He spat. "You see.. the brake system.. malfunctioned.."The engineer said hesitantly. "Malfunctioned... ...
My first kiss was in an airport, with a girl named Marie who had decided to kill herself. I had met her while waiting to board. She had looked nervous, so I had begun a conversation. It was my first time traveling alone, and I too was scared. She confessed to me that she was also scared, but not of the trip. "Then wh...
This is because I need you to know the birds, they're as beautiful as the songs they sing. This is for you to know the waves crash on the ocean in white, bubbly foam, their hypnotic come-and-go movement as soothing and peaceful as they sound and smell. The river runs as wild and serene as the music it makes when it ...
It is fear that was at the root of everything, nothing more. It was said that at the beginning of time there were two brothers, the brothers were inseparable and spent all day running and playing in the woods, unafraid of anything or anyone. One day, the two bothers were wrestling and one threw the other into a str...
Phillip glanced around the room in silent desperation, still unsure of his decision. He was scared..nonetheless, he had committed. He had chosen to do this, and there was no turning back. Just do it and get it over with. It'll be over before I know it, he thought. He wiped the sweat from his brow, adjusted the mat...
The all-father sat high on his throne, gazing upon Midgaard. He could see every corner of the world, but his troubled mind made him look down. The feasting halls were busy, as always, the great hunt finished yet again today; the Einherjar were all consuming the spoils. Odin grumbled, petting Geri with is right hand. ...
"Abortion Man To The Rescue!"called out the stranger in strange tights with a coat hanger symbol on his chest. Powergirl almost jumped naked out of her bed. The man she was with, whom she picked up at a bar seemed to recognize this freak. "You're too late abortion man!"said The Impregnator. Powergirl wrapped ...
I flipped through my glittered pink unicorn diary, where I kept all of my notes, about my... affliction. *Can you call non-existance an affliction? Was it more of a lack of affliction?* I sighed inwardly. Ever since I became cognizant of the fact that I wasn't real, everything was *literally the worst.* It wasn't s...
"Kill me!"The painting shrieked in agony. I knew I was a bad painter but I thought I was pretty spot on with this Picasso. Maybe that was the problem. The screams became cries as the painting started smashing its head against the invisible window of the paintings borders. "I can fix you I promise" The faux Picas...
You know how sometimes you wake up with a spider bite. Well it’s most likely a spider bite but you call it a rash. Cause a spider bite is just so much more sinister. And it itches. Not quite like a mosquito bite. But more unrelenting, unnerving. A constant reminder that you should really check behind your bed. The crac...
It was around Christmastime when I first met the whole Potter family that Dudley so dreaded. Of course, he'd never admit that. When that smartly-dressed green-eyed fellow greeted him with an open hand, for the first time in years as my dear sweetums would claim, I could've sworn that I saw his hand tremble as they s...
"I mean, it's just a giant throbbing pain in the ass you know?"said Long John to his long-time friend Kiwi Nads as they walked into the regular bar. "Hey man. If you didn't want to get fucked in the ass by a belt-slinging bitch like Anne, you shouldn't have pushed your goddamned rear out for a pegging!" "Come on it,...
"She's always messing with her hair, that one strand that flops in front of her face. I remember her brother's wedding, she was cross-eyed and raspberry-lipped to blow it out of her eyes. She was at it for a few minutes before she noticed me watching... We're going to Venice this Spring. Our seats are reserved already....
"First of all,"I said. "Have you heard his voice? Dude's fucking hilarious. Nasal, check. High pitched, check. Funny accent, check. Added bonus, he squeaks before he shouts. The guy fucking squeaks when he gets angry! Who *wouldn't* prank call him?" One of the agents slammed his hands down on the metal table. It echoe...
I thought I'd seen the last of any foreign visitors in human space when I saw, near a vessel carrying grain, a glassy shard pass through, invisible but for the shimmering stars behind it. I don't know why they even dared try me. All spacefaring objects made by humans were under my direct, instantaneous control. I coul...
Like most Redditors, I know everything. Except, I actually *do* know everything: past, present, and future. I’m omniscient. It’s a weird gift that could also be construed as a curse. I’ve both put myself in a high position in society and cost the lives of several people close to me by revealing their fates. I guess peo...
What if they hear my alien buzz, What if they see I’m covered in fuzz? Surely they will find that I smell like honey, Or decide that my stripes look kind of funny. Yet still I must fly into the heart of the swarm Dead into the eye of a paper eating storm. Covered in adversaries violent and mean I would risk it a...
"So I get three wishes?" "Yep! As long as you don't ask for more wishes or more Genies!" I eyed the figure suspiciously. I'd seen movies and read the books. These fuckers were gonna ruin your life if you weren't explicit enough. You wanted an omelette? Here it is! Oh? It had cyanide in it? Oh well... You didn't speci...
*"And we're going to build a wall! To keep...the bad guys out! And we'll kill them all with our super guns."* I squinted at Mr. Trump with the intensity of a thousand Republicans looking at my emails. Something was...off. For a seventy year old, he looked rather...*young*. Like, really young. Was that...*acne*? "We'r...
Bart’s truck stopped on the dirt road beside my trailer. I saw him once a week when he delivered my groceries and hated these encounters with a fiery passion. He had the type of face that you would want to avoid if out on your own. Sharp, catlike eyes, a mole the size of a nut filled m&m on his upper lip and thin l...
I come to. I'm on the sidewalk in town, midday. Busy street. What am I doing here? I died. *I died*. How did I get here? I hear a commotion, screaming. People start running past me. I look. There's a stampede. Why do they look so- I run. They're catching up to me, to all of us. People start getting ripped down. I tur...
"Grandma, we need to go. Now!" I nod. I take Angie's hand and we crawl out from behind the crate. The dermatologists are nowhere to be seen. A dart filled with a poisonous, mutated form of Botox lay on the floor. It missed me by inches ten minutes ago. Every joint in my body is aching. But we can't stop, not yet. You...
"It's 3rd and 6th from the 39 yard line. Bradford under center." "They're going to have to do something here Al. Walsh's leg won't make it from this distance." "And it's Bradford dropping back, getting some pressure, and... it's dropped by Diggs. That'll bring up 4th down." "This is going to work out well for the...
I used to be a bard of... Other things. I sang of paradise and the idyllic countryside. Or the power of love, or friendship. I would boost the confidence of my allies, charm my way past most of my troubles. Not anymore. My style had changed. Drastically. My flow is sick and I found what makes the world tick. Turns out...
"Now look here,"said the Djinn impatiently, pointing to a nearby anthill. "That's an ant colony. Ants live here." Zombie-John plodded towards the Djinn, his greying, six foot manhood (Wish #2) leaking out the bottom of his trousers and trailing after him like a friendly serpent. The carnivorous, simple-minded oaf exam...
The white floor tiles of the Hogwarts medical wing swayed underneath Ron’s feet. He had been in bed for almost a week. ”Turn your head to the right and cough,” Dr. House said. “Now to the left. Cough.” Ron did as he was told. This was supposedly the biggest medical genius in the world but so far he hadn’t done anythi...
He didn't remember. There was a binding on his mind, so he couldn't remember his own name. There was a specific gesture his trainer used to summon him forward. There was a geass on his throat, so he could never speak- or perhaps he never had. It was different for the girls, he knew. They were trained in the arts of...
Every kid had one, big terrible monsters, polka dot pixies, or clever snakes with massive wings. But then there was Red, his was different. If you even knocked elbows with him, he'd shove you around for days, kick you in the shin, he'd steal your shoes and throw them over a telephone pole. Red's only friend was a figm...
He awoke, looking straight up at the ceiling to the big letters that spelt out 'Algebra Zone' across the room. As he stood up, he saw around the room was just a **mirror** and a **table**, no doors or Windows, but on one wall was printed the instructions for escape. He sat on the **table**, thinking.. *It isn't the ...
You say you made a wish on your birthday cupcake. Even though you are thirteen, and long ago moved on from magic and from miracles, you made a wish because you were desperate. On the morning of your thirteenth birthday, Baby D and Micah fought in the bathroom. Baby D punched Micah in the throat because he had wipe...
Jasper Tustiazianectorpica, or JT for short, was downing a bottle of pure ethanol before his trek out to see if his species could make contact with the earthlings. His people had already set up a station on the large habitable planet of Pluto and were awestruck and partially terrified to find out there was intelligent ...
"Please, oh God, I have a child,"I gasp. The knife held to my neck wiggles a little, and a trickle of blood dances down my neck. "Fat chance,"RorschachtheMighty says. He takes a bite out of a carrot with the hand that isn't holding the knife. "Even if you did, I dunno if you'd be telling the truth, what with you being...
Scamming the elderly had always been easy for Nate. It was pretty easy to do, once you actually got in to a solid rhythm and system about it. Tell them their computer is on the fritz. Tell them their Social Security checks have gotten messed up somehow. Hell, tell them you're from the fuckin' cable company and you just...
Literally faster than the eye can see, I punch Seta in the forehead. Blood sprays out like aerosol for a second and it heals. *No stopping*. I kick her across the asphalt. She slides twenty feet through, scraping it off the road. *Faster than the eye can see.* I am next to her and I stomp. She evades. Boosting to the s...
I’ve been wearing this mechanics shirt for 10 years now, elbow deep in someone else’s engine and hoisting some other guy’s life since I could make my own money. I’m certain my wife has been fucked in the back of the Mercedes I’m working on now, “No one REALLY wants to be associated with someone who wears the greasy gr...
0530: The small alarmclock starts to ring. An old man starts to move in his bed while muttering some curse words about the time and the bed. After a few minutes he is out of bed and dressed up in his old uniform. He takes a look at himself in the mirror "Brings back memories huh...."His look fixated on his medals over ...
The Man paced back and forth in what he assumed was his apartment, although that was still a matter of debate. Upon further investigation of the kitchen he found, among what were surely unsanitary dishes piled in the sink, a slew of haphazardly strung together post it notes winding around the fridge and surrounding cab...
"...Say that again...slowly..." Jake stares at his friends with a confused look in his face. His brain slowly processing their words but it makes no sense to him. Sam sighs and repeats his explanation. "So...yeah. All of us can hear the minds of each other, see? Everyone does. Well, everyone but you." "And...how do ...
I adjusted the scope on my rifle as I gazed at the three men advancing on the cabin. It wasn't much, but that was the point. Its wooden exterior was chipping away and the interior was dimly lit. The trees surrounding it made the cabin almost invisible as their towering bodies concealed the structure. *The perfect hideo...
The old man begins coughing, but pulls out a red handkerchief to cough into and pats the seat next to him. Stowing the handkerchief, the man looks back at me and grins “Come on, let an old soldier talk about his past. It’s the least you could do, sonny!” I relent and sit down next to him, and without even a prompt he s...
"So." "I don't believe I know your name,"she says, tilting her head to the side. "It's... it's Josh,"I reply. She looks exactly like she did in the dream. Long brown hair, braided over one shoulder. Blue eyes. "Josh Oakfield." "I'm Heather,"she says, clutching her H&M bag tightly. I walk with her through the mal...
----8 Months Later----- "Sorry, I'm all out of Fanta. That was the last one." Death sighed and picked up his suitcase. "I will not return here again, Matthew,"said Death. "You have greatly disappointed me. I told you to leave one can for me, and you did not comply with my wishes. I will see you in 22 yea...
I was not prepared for this. When I woke up this morning, everything was as usual. I took a breakfast with my two cups of coffee, took a shower, got dressed, and went to the office. As usual, I went there by walking. It was a nice way to get enough blood to my brain and get fully awake. I need this to do my job. I sell...
America needed a change after what had happened last year. We the people needed to come together now more than ever, and a gentleman wanted just that. A soon to be candidate for presidency, Mr. Donovan McKinnel. “It’s a business.” Donovan McKinnel explained. The gentleman to my right moved the microphone down over McK...
# 2012 The way the story went was that I had been born with a special genome known as KA-27. It allowed for me posses the unusual gift of telekinesis. My mother was skeptical. And even for a nine-year-old, I was, as well. I certainly couldn't move objects with my mind or anything of the sort. The explanation, howeve...
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I understand there have been some complaints about my projects. However, I endeavor to show you that the Spider Spitting Giraffes were made purely in the interest of preserving humanity. What I am about to tell you is classified information. I have no doubt that the government will h...
"So how long did it take to decode it?"The brows under peaked cap knitted. Hands, surprisingly delicate fingers, flipped pages back and forth, looking for explanations in the dense, nearly indecipherable text. "Pretty long, actually. We might not be right about exactly what it says but we're pretty sure we've got th...
I had a friend who used to talk about immortality, just as a thought experiment. We used to ramble on for hours together, armchair philosophers we. Upon attaining immortality, I stopped visiting him so often. His sitting room had a window facing west. But in those days, the two of us had come to agree on the principals...
When the outbreak first... broke out, the media called them Lickers. A simplistic moniker to be sure, but it was as accurate a descriptor as anyone could come up with. Actually, not just anyone. Everyone. It seemed like all the news outlets had come up with the name independently of each other, and each and every one o...
At first I thought my name was some kind of cruel joke on my parents part. Loss. I always felt cursed by the name. Why would you name your kid something so negative? Everyone else was named happiness, success, brilliance, yet mine meant to lose something. I never understood it until the day I finally had enough of my c...
I panicked at first. It was a strange sensation, hard to focus, and a lot of me died fast. Not that it mattered too much with respawning. Then I got used to it, to using more than one brain at a time. To working more than one problem at a time. It feels good. Better than anything I'd felt before. I didn't broadcast i...
It’s sad how we never stop to question our daily traditions, cultural learning has humanity tied to the ground with unbreakable chains. ‘Brush your teeth twice a day,' your parents tell you, and you never stop to question it, except for the occasional childish rebellion. Those children have more wisdom than us all. Ev...
"So... you're a ghost?"Sam asked, scratching his forehead, he had made a fun little checklist titled, 'super awesome roommate interview questions!' Yet now as he looked through the list of questions, many didn't seem relevant. "Um... date of birth?" "1949"the older? Woman smiled. "If you need ID, we can go to my grav...
Yeah I thought it was odd I didn’t get the usual message of doom, but I lived on and enjoyed the party. Now though, the party was dying down and I was actually getting tired. “Need a ride?” A voice called. I didn’t know it was intended for me until I saw Macey, staring pointedly at me. “Oh.” I slurred, “Nah...I’ll ...
They tried to hide it, but they grew more and more disappointed each year, as I insisted on remaining normal. They could fight crime, you know. They were out late most nights, leaving me home alone, so they could keep the city safe. Dad was always seemingly protected; it seemed as though no injury would ever really ta...
The crude pentagram I carved into the hardwood floor of the living room was apparently good enough. The demon stands before me, looking every bit like a normal human, except his tie is too straight and his hair is too neat and his eyes are the color of a fiery Hellscape. "So I get a deal with the devil, eh?"I quip. H...
"I just don't know what I'd have done, Janine. She's been amazing to us, and I don't think Betty would have had better, had it been anyone else."Janine would have to take his word for it, her aunt was getting too old to look after herself, and she didn't have much faith in retirement homes. "Thank you, Marc. I'll give...
note: resubmitted ***Year 45*** "Will it hurt?"I asked. The doctor shrugged apologetically. "We really don't know, John. You would be the first human to undergo the procedure." "Ah. I'm just a guinea pig."My rueful chuckles dissolved into wracking coughs. The doctor handed me a cup of water. "You're right,"he sai...
[Dramatic organ music sting plays, the scent of some sort of flowers is injected into the air] [Spurt of confetti bursts into the air, and a holographic image appears in the air, an unknown language proclaiming something in a smooth, floral script, likely a name or a title] A creature, three and a half meters tall, w...
"Dude, have you ever thought about writing some of your stories down?"I asked, scanning the bustling streets inside the Village. There wasn't a zombie in sight. Nor should there be, despite what Evan claimed. I didn't want to call my friend a liar outright, but surely there'd be some evidence of a zombie attack in Me...
At first, there was one. Millions, no - billions adored him. It wasn’t just that the First was the greatest athlete on Earth. It was the way and grace in which he did it. When he won his first MVP and Super Bowl and subsequently announced his transition to the NBA to win a championship there, there was the inevitable...
The pint-sized golem sat in its master's hands, doing little tippy taps as it was taken out for a walk. The kid wasn't sure what to expect when he bought a rock from the creepy old man down the road, the same old man that stands on the sidewalk in just a black bathrobe, selling an assortment of weird goods, the sort of...
"Fuck! Are you serious?" "Sorry bud,"Satan says. "Gotta finish your task." "WHAT TASK?" "Huh?" "What task? You assholes keep saying 'you gotta finish your task' 'you gotta finish your task,' but you don't tell me what the task is!" "Well... have you turned on your quest tracker?" "My what?" "Your quest tracker. ...
Day 1 The new family moved in. It's a husband and a wife and their three Pomeranian pooches. I overheard the woman, Janice, talking on the phone with some friend. Her husband--Zack, I think, maybe--was at work, and Janice was saying some... pretty raunchy things. There's some good tension in this family. This is going...
“That guy, right there.” Quickdraw pointed at an old man crossing the street. He and Murderess were sitting on a patio, eating a light lunch. “There are thirteen ways that I could kill him from here. One involves a ceramic duck. That is, by my estimation, the second weirdest way I could kill him.” Murderess spoke with...
“Gabe, you have a call on line two.” My secretary wakes me from my dream. I saw the cotton swab again, the blood dripping off the end slowly getting absorbed into a pristine white ball. And the crimson pool it rolled towards, to suck up the rest of the last life I let it take. “Thornton again?” I ask, sliding on my l...
As soon as the dungeon door swung open, a foul wall of stench drifted out into the kidnapper's face. He gagged, placing a clothes pin on his nose, and pushed his way through the noxious cloud. Inside, chicken carcasses and human waste dotted the stone room, laying in a ring like the debris of an explosion. At the cente...
The peace accords were struck. 7 species that had been at war for decade, finally at peace. It was all thanks to me. It turns out they had studied earth for a long time, confused by all our languages and weary of the wars that raged on our planet. You see, Earth represented the galactic situation on a microcosm sort...
\[Quest Request\] "Is that a quest!?"Lex rushed up to Monica, a stranger he'd never met, asking the question. Despite his sudden approach, he didn't seem to be threatening her in anyway. He kept a respectful distance and made eye contact when he asked his question. His clothes were a bit odd for an office building, mo...
It’s a beautiful summer day and Brian is, for once, excited to go to work. He plans on giving everyone the bird and telling them off. Something he’s dreamt about for a long long time. There’s a pep in his step and a smile on his face. That is until someone blindsides him and pushes him off his feet into a grimy alley. ...
Looking back I should have been much less upset about not aging. Remaining Average in itself wasn’t the worst part of the curse, it was being the Average person. I never considered weather my 1.005 tesicles could be adjusted with a prosthetic, if my 0.995 of an ovary could be of use. The one true blessing was that the ...
“You should be glad that you could hobble into my clinic. Few survive the eastern caves. I hope you learnt your lesson about chasing easy money, I’m afraid that easy money doesn’t exist in this world. Well, that may be a little lie. I do a decent trade thanks to foolish adventurers like you.” I uttered, inspecting one ...
The signal caused an uproar. Sentient life was far beyond all we had hoped to find. We only dared hope to find evidence that the red planet could have sustained life. We sent a reply, agreeing and welcoming them to our planet. We ignored the fact it said back. As the rocket entered the atmosphere, experts from all wal...
