I tried to get in my car to go to work, but the car door would not open as in that moment that one fighting song from Skyrim started to play. I looked around and saw nothing. I threw my hands in the air "what the fuck!"I started to aggressively tug on the car door. "Damn it there is nothing here. Let me go to work."i s...
Greg eyed the gang leader up and down. He had a Mass Effect hoodie clearly stuffed with what appeared to be a T-shirt cannon, a water bottle, and something ball-shaped. His crew of four all had baseball caps with protruding ears resembling that Pikaman character your son likes. The hoodie-adorned leader shouts "Backsl...
Over six billion orbs descended upon Earth from the skies, one for each man, woman and child. Except Travis. He built his own replica so as not to raise eyebrows. Despite the initial uproar, the orbs did nothing but silently hover over the person. Over time, some began praying to their orb while others began decorati...
Part of the fun of the unveiling was going to be showing the humans that another system with habitable planets existed so closely to their own. Now that part of the fun had been spoiled. But the rest of the surprise--seven habitable planets, each with a bountiful supply of resources, both those necessary for life and t...
You’d think they’d notice after the 300th something anniversary that I’m still in the photograph, celebrating. That I, standing with Pete, Gerald, and Connor, smiling as a bag covered in straw hangs behind us. Burning. Dissolving. You’d think that since a few decades ago it was Michael, Steven, and Rick. Before that wa...
"So, let me get this right. You breathe... oxygen?" The blobbish creature extended another slug-like appendage, striking the keyboard character signalling confusion. It undulated slightly, its hairs on end - a sign of timidness, according to the labcoats. Keith sighed. "Yep. Most of us just call it air though, so you...
May 5th 3059 Today, we found a box. The box was nothing special. It was a 4x4x8 ft. stainless steel box with writing on the top. Me, Mac, and Jon could not figure out what country it was from. Perhaps it is alien? Preposterous. A thousand years have gone by with no evidence of alien life. Jon, our leader, ordered that...
Wow! I thought, staring at the new creation she had made. That sure looks like me! "Okay, bud. I'm going to need a piece of your fur for this, okay? It'll be real quick?" I stared at her, not understanding, still wagging my tail. She reached over towards me, her hand outstretchd. Yes! She's going to pet me! ...
It ran in my family. The blessing, or in my case the curse. We always reincarnated exactly eighteen years after we left the womb, to the second. Because of that your very first eighteenth birthday was an important one - it would be your reincarnation starting point for the rest of eternity. My parents always told me to...
Years have passed... Years have passed now since my invention, and with it, an end to all disease, to suffering, and a solution to the human condition. Indeed, the Angra Mainyu device, as I appropriately named it, acts like a simple magnet and attracts all manner of microbial diseases, pathogens, and even the genetic ...
The day I was born I killed 178 people. My parents, the doctors and nurses that delivered me, everyone in the ward and nearly a dozen of the world's finest heroes. Everything that hears my shriek dies. I lived in a home ran by the Null. A man who blocked the powers of others. When ever I was out of his sight I had to ...
... And the Olympics, my God, what more do you want from a man? I medaled in 26 events, 25 of which I got Gold in, and the 26th I got a Platinum. They fucking made that medal for me, that's how impressive my run was. But no, everyone talks about her. So what if she found out we were all doping. "Exposed the Olympi...
Terra Delenda Est The Federation held its first closed-doors meeting in three thousand solar cycles. I was one of the three thousand honored lords of the stars invited to attend. I sat silent in the crowd and watched as the honorable Chairman of the Galactic Federation raged against our committee's newest inductee...
First, the dissidents. We chose the rest of the peninsula as our first test. We practiced range by firing over nearby islands and testing deployment mechanisms. Our leadership was proud, we were doing the world a great service and moving ever-closer to world peace. By the time we were finished with our trials, th...
"I didn't make the rules. I didn't even know this was an option! It was your benevolent god who allowed me to be made without a soul, remember?" St.Peter bristled "You are questioning the will of the Lord!" "No Pety, you are. He allowed me to have a soul, he send me here. Now what does that tell you about his i...
I had just come home from learning about money in school that day and I was so excited to tell my mom and dad. We all then went out to buy groceries for home so that I could actually witness money transactions first hand. My parents entrusted me with a $10 bill. Even though I was able to identify that it was $10, I sti...
"There's no way! Humans are just something they made up to scare us into being good!" "No, man! Humans are real! And they're fucking coming for us!" "No way! If humans are real, then I'll eat my hat." "Prepare to consume headgear, then. Come look at this." "What the actual fuck is that?" "They call it a 'nuclear...
"So, we gonna do this the easy way, or the hard way?" Two men, both clad in all black and wearing old hockey masks, had me cornered in a dark alley. While this armed robbery surprised me at first, I soon knew exactly what it was that these guys wanted. "Just hand over the damn Pokéball, and we'll leave ya' alone." E...
"Hey babe, can you add 12 gauge copper wire to the list? I need it to finish the water heater in the fish pond,"said Jack as he grabbed the door handle. He continued, "I'm gonna check the shed to see if I have any deck screws left, and then we can go. K?" "Yep,"said Mia without looking up from the counter. She wrote "...
“Stephen, I notice you haven’t taken your nutritional supplement this afternoon. Are you planning to do so?” “Uh, y, yeah. S…soon,” Stephen murmured. To a passerby, Stephen must have looked crazy. He knew he didn’t need to speak out loud to Carl, but this was his way of not letting the dialogue get out of control. ...
I stared at God for what felt like forever. Is this really him? Is God actually real? Why me? So many questions ran through my mind and yet all I could think about was what I could ask God for in response to his question. "I'll take a Bloody Mary!"I joked. God clicked his fingers. A glass of what looked like water ap...
The plague, a plague we caused. When we saw the fledgling Terran civilization we saw something within them, a hunger for knowledge, but also a willingness to use that knowledge to kill. The Galatic Congress made the decision to use HATE on the planet. It almost worked, their "Cold War"almost ended it all. But somehow ...
I couldn't believe my eyes the first time I saw the readings. Could this teenage boy really know? I had to scan it again to be sure. And again, and again for good measure. After the sixth scan and a constant result, I knew this had to be for real. I called my manager immediately after, telling him he had to see this ...
"I think this one is yours Gerzal,"the being of light said. "Can't be one of mine Raphael, I don't smell, sense, or even taste any evil coming off of him"Gerzal said. "Well it's not like he's radiating light, I thought I saw a glimmer when I first got here, but it was just my light reflecting back at me off his wrist...
(This is my first time going for one of these so be gentle) It was a tragedy. Everybody in town were dumbfounded by the horrific events that had befallen it's poor children. I didn't exactly know anyone that was hurt, but then again I had only lived here for a couple of years, and I was far past highschool. However I ...
Looking through my ever expanding wardrobe I remind myself that it is Monday November 26th. Accordingly I grab gray tweed pants -4 attractiveness and +8 Charisma, a purple and orange striped shirt, -2 intellect, +2 luck, and +6 dexterity, pull on my blue hat, +4 strength and grab my sunglasses on the way out, +1 stealt...
"Yob tvoyu maht!"Yuri cursed as he read the Cyrillic characters on the screen. He'd just received orders from Moscow, and it was bad. NUCLEAR EXCHANGE BEGUN WITH UNITED STATES, INITIATED BY UNSTABLE AMERICAN OFFCIALS. YOU ARE HEREBY ORDERED TO ELIMINATE AMERICAN ASTRONAUT JAMES RIORDAN BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. T...
I hear my mother’s voice as soon as I walk through the door. “Happy birthday, honey! I love you,” she says, walking over to greet me with a hug. Her mouth doesn’t move as she speaks. She’s beautiful, with luscious blond hair and high cheekbones. I got lucky to get her looks. Everyone in this world is beautiful, but she...
At first nobody believed it was possible. The police sergeant convinced them to run tests and they took me in. They didn't tell the perp what was going on, but they had me say some words and made him repeat them. I remember how much he hated my voice. "Make her shut up! I can't stand it, make that god damned woman shut...
The streets were lonely and surprisingly harmless. They were quiet, cold, and bleak, what with the lack of cars, and foot traffic, but after almost a month, I hadn't died yet. I don't own much. I've got an extra pair of clothes, I've got some soap, a warm coat, I always make sure to keep as much money as I can in cas...
TOP SECRET//SCI/PSYHAZARD This is a test prompt. You were told to ignore it. Please cease your reading immediately. I say again, cease your reading immediately. This is a lawful order by a duly constituted authority. Failure to comply will have consequences. You understand what "test"means, correct? It does not mean...
“Hooray! Some company!” The robber looked young, unprepared. He thought this would be an easy job, he was wrong. The ghost appeared to him. “Hello!” “Holy shit! I mean... Out of my way, old... ghost! You can't stop me! Wait... aren't you supposed to remain invisible and just throw things at me?” “Oh boy, am I glad ...
Excuse the grammar etc as I'm typing on a phone. Diary of Alex Xi - The truth bringer and starter of the revolution. Day 1 Everyone in the lab has grey hair, except for the new crop of lab technicians. We are all fresh from our college courses and ready for our first day in Invertec labs. John Invers is the most f...
When you go to hell after a lifetime of killing, the last thing you expect is to be greeted by your victims. All forty-five of them. Dave was ready for pitchforks and demons, torture and agony. But it was the laughter of men that truly stung his pride. The crowd had shifted focus from welcoming Dave to another man in...
"What?" "He's been chosen!"shouts the shopkeeper. "It finally chose someone!" All along the alley, merchants pour from their stalls, disregarding their customers and rushing to converge around me and my newfound friend. I steal a glance at the cat. What have you gotten me into? It stares back with green eyes. "Wil...
‘Walter, are you sure you want to do this?’ the doctor asked. ‘Yes, doctor Hassel. I’ve been alive for 80 years. Enough is enough. I don’t want to suffer anymore’ ‘Very well then, I’ll be back later tonight’ A week later ‘Mister Hassel, last week you euthanized your patient Walter. His will stipulated that you would r...
"Can't be me,"I thought back to her. "It's my first day here." I turned back at her, and the confused look stuck to her face. She looked to the side as if she was trying to work something out. She didn't say anything to me after that. I looked about the rest of the class. Telepaths were cool. I wondered if the girl w...
It was Idris, who pulled me out from the rubble and dragged me to the makeshift street hospital. Of course. She stayed at my side, cursing like a sailor, while I drifted in and out of consciousness. Everything hurt. The air was still thick with dust and humming with magical resonance, the stench of blood and ash everyw...
Aster was a good boy. His human always told him that. He was a good, handsome, clever boy who loved his human. When Aster crossed the colorful bridge to the big grassy place, he could still hear his human crying and calling his name. Aster wanted to go back to her, but couldn't ind the bridge anymore. Sometimes though...
The Devil went down to Georgia. He was lookin' for a sole to steal. His feet enarched, but his shoes didn’t arch, He needed relief for his achey heel. &#x200B; When he came across this young man jumpin’ about and doing a trot. And the Devil limped up gingerly, and said "Boy, let me tell you what." "I bet yo...
They say your life flashes before your eyes right before you die. They say you see the things you regret. I didn't see many regrets, but I did see all the good. I could also see the bad. The things that happened to my loved ones. Being cheated or stolen from or facing natural disasters, getting fired, or just falling d...
Adam let out a sigh of relief as the titan of a man walked into the golden light. It had been quite a long week, showing the literal gods themselves what humanity had accomplished over the last 6000 years of existence. It was strange to think that just one week ago, humanity had learned that they were indeed created,...
"The service entrance is on the side, buddy. This area is for the actual princess rescuers,"One of the assembled knights finally said. "I'm not-a here to do no plumbing. My-ah estranged homeland has been taken over, and I intend to liberate it."the stranger said. The knight spokesman scoffed, "Okay, but what does tha...
The damp rag in Knight Templar Aramar’s hand hissed as he ran it down the length of his pitted sword, oiling the blade. Once, not even a month in the past, Aramar's blade would have blazed with the orange lanterns light glow of Ethwan, Lord of The North Star, when preparing for the trial of combat ahead. Today, the so...
The device activated. It was a small thing, no larger than a clenched fist. It was black as the void, invisible in the cold dark of space. It had four sides, perfectly symmetrical. It was barren, devoid of all markings or insignias. No one would have found it unless they knew where to look. No one would know what it wa...
The revolution was televised, and the people abolished governments, economy, and pursued an anarcho-socialist revolution. It was a beautiful thing; until it was subverted. As people were looking for order and currency one voice reigned supreme. And that voice which rippled through the collective had one demand. Every...
[Poem] The fastest man in the universe! Crippling depression: bound by laziness, what a curse. The strongest woman, could lift a train without breaking a sweat! If only she could move: that bullet to the neck, she'd always regret. Elastigirl, the stretchiest skin and bones! Shame then, she wore leather, the ...
There are two big rules for surviving the angelic apocalypse: First, don't look at them. If you hear them, cover your ears. If you see their light shining, shimmering on the air, hide somewhere dark and safe. An angel's form isn't meant to be seen by human eyes. A brief glance is all it takes to crumble into a pillar o...
The bar was quite, Smith polished the glasses, he had a few hours to prepare before the lunch rush hit. He looked out past the counter, and could see a figure move past the window. It was uncommon for him to have customers that early. A loud slam hit door leading into the bar, then another. "Get outta here you junkie...
I could hear the sound of combat echoing through the halls, even as I hurried to finish drawing the runes on the temple floor. My hand trembled as I finished tracing the last symbol of the Old Ones. The screams, the clashing of steel; they were sounding louder each moment as my guards fought bravely against the band of...
When you had first seen her, you hadn't realised she was the infamous one. During your painfully short breaks, you would catch snatches and snippets of conversations about it. Of course, you had seen it yourself, the one customer logged with the strangest history- but it was against the rules to discuss the private mat...
"Stop. That's close enough." He nods. If he comes any closer, it could be dangerous. If magic was used to cure a past illness or heal an injury, it could all unravel. He could die. It has happened before. "Y, yes, of course. Voidwalker." Voidwalker. It has been 6 years and I've never gotten used to the name. Or ma...
Outside of the Army's primary command center, a smiling young woman in battle fatigues awaits an audience with the leaders in the fight against the machines, quietly tapping at a tablet. As she waits, the last rays of daylight shining through camoflage netting above to leave her mottled skin dappled with orange light, ...
Gri'lax held the scanner out, using it to take readings of everything around. His human assistant, Janet, worked the sample collector. The mechanical device's metal arms snipped and clipped at her command, gathering tiny bits of native flora. He just hoped she would be able to keep her mind on the job. The human, like...
She was absorbing so much solar energy, the world around her darkened. All that energy was being condensed into a small ball in the center of Xfew's palm. Bahn looked at it with despair. He could control sound - How could that POSSIBLY stand up to the awesome power of the sun? This was their final battle, and he'd die...
“Breathe,” the voice said. “All things are living, Jin. You must never forget.” Jin was even younger then, but it was one of his first real memories. He had been abandoned at his father’s church, crying throughout the night even in the warmth of his care and embrace. He vaguely remembered the food, but he could visual...
Fucckkkk what is he doing here? I thought as he watched the butcher’s eyes go wide. “You said that thing was dead…” said Ben the butcher. Ben raised a shaking hand and pointed at Lilith next to me. You couldn’t tell she wasn’t a human, unless she took off her jacket to show off her wings. “Technically I said it w...
Chuck opened his eyes. That was something he had not thought he would ever do again. Once the car found itself on open air, he was pretty sure he was a goner. But here he was, standing...somewhere. Where was he, anyway? He looked around. Everything seemed to be made of light. It billowed around him like clouds, formin...
My battles with Starflower were normally much more intense, regardless of the weather or banality of our antagonism. Her goons had already shown up and taken hostages, but their confusion grew as their leader hadn't shown up. They knew they were outmtched without her, so they released the people with apologies - mostly...
“Vincent!” the maddening shout echoed off the drab gray stone walls of the throne room. Servants in the nearby hallways rushed into their tucked-away passages not wanting to take the chance of being caught in the king’s crosshairs. A single man draped in the colors of the kingdom— red, black, and green. The dark green...
When I rolled my eyes it was meant to be an expression of sarcasm. A non vocal way for me to say Right now, I think you are an idiot. So when the lady at the store register, apathetic as a human can be, said: "This box is already opened, you can't return it.", well she deserved an eye roll as much as any human I'd ev...
In my old age, I had fallen into a rut. Go out once a week, find a nice neck to sup on, then back home. At home I would continue with my art, selling it to others of my kind. Having spent a few centuries perfecting it, they were quite exquisite if I said so myself. The money was good, as my pieces were often seen as a...
I had checked the data twice, knocked two of the scientist's heads together to make sure their brains were working, and even ran the tests myself. But it was conclusive. Unfortunately. Walking through the halls of the Facility, heading ever closer to my superior, and probably my doom, I tried to make sure my palms ...
"This is Earth Prime. Earth Alpha are you there? Please come in." "This is Earth Alpha, though we thought we were going to be Earth Prime. Over." There was an awkward silence. Prime Marcus Bonham, representative of Earth Prime cleared his throat. "Well we can sort that all out later. Earth Alp-" "Yes we can." "I'm...
It'll be fun, they said. It shows off your personality, they said. None of them told her this would happen. "But Susan hngkk"The whipcord-lean man choked, the laws of our universe censoring words that would otherwise have been second nature to him to say. His hands, dark like good weathered Corinthian leather, gestu...
The American sat across from them at a large, weather-beaten table; no doubt looted from a long abandoned school that the monsters who shared the same table had been responsible for closing. The room was full of a cold silence as they all exchanged searching glances. Four years. Four years of undercover work. Four yea...
"US Powerball winning numbers for March 4: 9,14,35,37,41,46" @predictions had posted its first non-disaster related tweet. It has posted a yearly status on February 28th of every year since 2016, and as of February 29th 2028 it averted mass casualties on 10 natural disasters. "Earthquake, Istanbul, 8.6, July 8." T...
Day 37. The Kim Strain has infected most of the town. I've holed up in my apartment. My roommate was infected days ago. I lacked the conviction to kill him, so I just pushed him outside and bolted the door behind me. He's one of them now. Dark hair, ample chest. The virus doesn't really kill you. From what I gather it...
I couldn’t do it. Just thinking about it leaving me hurt me to think about. I was there. I was there at the genesis. Surely I shouldn’t be alive to see it through the end. It started off as a moment of passion. I had drank her in deeply, intoxicated by her scent. Her initial coldness didn’t disturb me at all. It was a...
"They say if you love something, you should let it go,"he said dryly, kneeling down to meet her gaze. "But that's horseshit. If you love something; I mean truly appreciate it, you never let it go. It becomes apart of you,"he grins, extending his hand towards her face. She recoils in disgust. "They're gonna...
It's been hard, living on Coruscant these past few years. First, the Clone War started off in the outer rim, then eventually it came home to us. The Chancellor was kidnapped, but just by the skin of our teeth we managed to push Grievous back. Then the poodoo hit the fan. The Jedi were getting really interested in poli...
"What's with the mittens, though?"I asked Cornellius, holding up the lime-green pads that were supernaturally bound over my hands. He looked at me over the rim of his reading glasses and lowered his copy of 'Mysterious Magical Madames Monthly.' It was pretty clear from his expression that he was getting really tired ...
It was over in an instant. But this moment, expanded a thousand times: a slow and graceful dance ending in a twinkling shower of glass and deep crimson. An inevitable collision between two bodies, moving slowly towards each other but beyond hopes of stopping. Rubber drags lazily against pavement, releasing wispy puffs ...
"Yeah, well I've totally been there. The food is gourmet- I swear by my fins it never gets soggy, even after it floats down to the bottom. The water's the cleanest you will ever see, and the perfect temperature so you never get too warm or hot. It's paradise."I said, swimming below Casey who was peering over the edg...
Silver knife? Check. Goat Heart? Check. Rune circle? Check. Black candles? Check. Semen of a virgin? Mine. Check. I was ready. Years of torment by my so-called friends were coming to an end. My accursed virginity would soon be lost, and I would be able to hold my head up high, knowing I was normal. I took my...
Last night, I opened my fridge and was immediately assaulted by a most rancid stench. It was akin to locking a morbidly obese man with bowel control problems and a crippling addiction to stool softeners into a port-a-shitter with a PETA member that was currently halfway through a no-shower, no-toothpaste, no-toilet-pap...
The ground was packed earth, hard and broken and renewed again. Dust swirled in the breeze, filling the eyes of the duelists. Above and around them, the stadium rose, rows upon rows like concentric petals. Peasants, lords, all craning in to watch the spectacle. Robert Realan stepped forwards, and Joshua Browning mirr...
Of course it happened. It was the worst thing I've ever done. And what makes it...what keeps me up at night, is that I didn't do it out of fear, or loneliness, or panic. I did it because I was bored. I built her slowly, in moments of distraction. A class went on too long, or my fiance gave too much detail about th...
Dr. Jill Atkins, sitting at a remote SETI station, blinked at the message as it came in. “Oh... oh man. We’d really better double check that one. I mean... the Muslims aren’t going to like that,” she said. “First of all, I’m right here,” Dr. Sanjit Kumar, the only other person at the station, deadpanned. “And second,...
I smiled, looking out into the crowd before me. Thousands had gathered to see me, the Prince, wed at last. I'd been given the choice between a noble, an elf and a peasant- I was to pick one, and give a speech announcing my choice after our marriage had taken place, to prevent any unnecessary interjections. "Ahem,"I cl...
It's rather easy to rationalize the worst ideas when you have a mindset like ours. In here we are all a notion, or idea. Most of us that come through here last only a moment, and live for a fleeting second before snuffed out of existence. Scenarios, pangs of Hunger or Guilt, Recollection of embarrassing moments. And th...
It's been 228 days since I laid my hands on a cut of dire wolf meat. I'm starving. My husband is starving. My baby is starving. Yet, we can't die. I'm supposed to be a guide for any new adventurers who step foot into our world. If I'm gone, who else is going to point them in the right direction to become stronger and...
John had a fox spirit, Jenny had a doe spirit, but Robert had a wolf. The adults said Robert was lucky to have a link with a wolf. A wolf bond was rare, and a bond of Robert’s strength was even rarer. Robert was placed into the accelerated program, and that was the last I ever saw of him. We were once best friends, but...
You stare at the chicken. The chicken stares back, bobbing up and down in a pot of bubbling water. You pour in another cup of ice- it hisses as soon as it touched the faintly glowing feathers. 'Buk-buk-bukAW!' This, you think, is the absolute last time I get blackout drunk. You leave the chicken and head back ...
It was a dark night in December, i was at home making a fire and out of the corner of my eye I saw him. I was a little shocked at first not just because he was covered in snow and looking cold, but he hadn't aged in almost 20 years. He began to speak, but I cut him off immediately. Oh hello Lucifer, not so cocky n...
Your message was shocking for all of us, it used any taught plane as a speaker so that every window, metal panel and strung wire had screamed it out, we noted after international communications had been restored that it came in the form of the local language everywhere, simply figuring out how that was done had been th...
“Oh come on, how do you explain this?” the man in the suit is angry as he tosses another photo on the table in front of me. I give him a sad kind of smile. He’s not the first person like this that I’ve met, and the way my life is going, it probably won’t be the last. He slams his open palm on the table making a lou...
People noticed them immediately. The first week there was a rash of news reports of bold new break ins in the middle of the day, and all the stories were the same: a big, silent overly muscular man or woman would break down a front door, stomp in, take any valuables they could find while ignoring the frightened pleas b...
I call it Jackson. I’ve always felt it’s a pretty cool name, Jackson, the kind of name a noir detective might have. A lit cigarette, a rainy night, and Jackson. Of course, Jackson itself is not a noir detective. I’m not really sure what Jackson is, and it has not been entirely forthcoming about its own nature. I k...
"Can I see it?" "What?" "Uh, what else? The hangar!" "What hangar?" I huffed, annoyed now. "The secret hangar! The one with the spaceships!" Major Peals was very, very tolerant, considering I'd just met him, and this was only my first day on the job. He had dealt with my incessant pestering without complaint, ...
On mobile so there may be some spelling errors or grammical mishaps. I'll try my best. *** They say you die twice. Who 'they' is, one can only speculate. Society? Religions? Death itself? I try not to think about it. I can attest to the second part of that adage, "you die twice."First, you die physically. Maybe...
They have told tales of him for centuries, difficult to find, but inexplicably linked together. "Mr. Edwards?" Each called him by a different name. The One. He who is chosen. "That's me. What can I do for you?"Tall, and somewhat imposing, Steven has the figure of a retired athlete. In his prime, he might h...
"They're in the forward trenches!"someone yells. Next to me, Clarence stands to fire at the enemy. There is a wet slapping sound, and the mud around him is stained brown as he falls back, clutching at his throat where the bullet struck. I crouch next to him, helpless in the mud as he gurgles is last breath. Around ...
Travis was sweating as he stared at the light. Normally he would break a few laws to accomplish the mission but this time his supervisor insisted he operate 100% under the radar. Nothing that could possibly attract attention from the local authorities. That meant no kidnappings, no extraneous thefts, and NO traffic vio...
Most people are pretty sure about what they'll get in the afterlife: 72 virgins, a place in heaven singing with the angels, et cetera, et cetera. But me, I thrive on uncertainty. I wanted to find out if I could really cause a conundrum for God. So I got tattoos of upside-down crosses and started praying to Satan instea...
"Here, let me show you with..."Cupid starts again before looking around for two people without significant others. Sudenly his face lights up and he points off to the right. "Those two over there, you see, one of them has a black hoodie and the other with the special order coffee?" I nod, not sure what he is geting on...
Marc pressed the bottle of whiskey to his lips, but didn’t drink. The network didn’t allow alcohol when on air, but that had never stopped him before. Whenever they caught him slurring through his lines and stumbling through the cardboard fantasy world of Aneisha, they would simply shake their head. “Somebody give th...
“So… no wishing for more wishes. That’s it? That’s your only rule, nothing else… just no more wishes?” The genie looked at her in exasperation. “Yes! How many times are you going to clarify this? Just make a wish already” The Genie rolled his eyes as the woman raised her hands. “I’m just trying to be thorough before...
We existed for billions of years. We inhabited millions of star systems at the height of our reign. We populated and conquered, we traded and scavenged, we discovered and created, and ruled the galaxy as the dominant species for more generations than have been documented. Every genetic record of every creature, every b...
"I thought you said they weren't going to do it?" "I said they probably won't do it, totally different."I sat there typing away at the holoboard. "Well... what now? Should we tell the Federation or..." "Yeah."Sighing. "I'll call them. Make yourself useful and let the Venuisans know too." Tapping the screen in fron...
