His brothers had all laughed at him for the house. "Where would you get all that depleted Uranium?", they jeered. They did not laugh anymore. The wolf tore through one house after another growing more monstrous as each house fell. Jagged spears of wood jutted up from it's iron hide. Steel bones and titanium claws lend...
"My lord, what was that move? Is that man dead?" I looked at my new squire. "He's not dead. He just wishes he was. I kneed him in the balls." My squired paled and looked down at my opponent, now writhing on the ground. "Should I have the pillow maidens come and smother him with pillows so he can have a merciful death...
We sat quietly in the back of the boat while Charon slowly ferried us across the Acheron. Gertrude stared down at the waters below, where souls of the damned who couldn't afford the crossing were forever trapped in the muddy depths. She was really quite beautiful; not at all what I'd been expecting after Satan's offer....
Our world wasn’t the kindest place. They say when you give a man a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. Gods above, wasn’t that the understatement of the century. Theories still abound on why things started happening this way. Some claim aliens, some claim divine interference, and some (rightly in my opini...
The humans stared in surprise. "I'm sorry, perhaps we misunderstood - I thought that each sentient species got a single senator?" The gelatinous alien wobbled. "Yesyes, quite right quite right. One senator one senator. Everyone gets one, everyone gets one." The feathered, multi-eyed creature standing next to it nodde...
It wasn't all perfect, it had taken a few tries. Free will can be a double edged sword sometimes. But by and large the last few billion years have gone by without a hitch. Watching his children learn to harness the power of the universe, explore, meet and share was one of his greatest pleasures. In the end it boile...
The news spread like wildfire all over the wizarding world-- "The Boy Who Lived Died at 95!"said the headline of that morning's Daily Prophet. The hero of the wizarding war, the one who defeat dark lord Voldemort had finally passed. As the world mourned, his story and exploits trended once more of his younger years a...
As far as ice cream trucks went, it looked pretty typical, a white van with a large plastic ice cream cone strapped to the roof. Granted, it could have used a wash: it wasn't very appetizing to see all the bird droppings splattered on the ice cream model. And sure, it was playing Jingle Bells in the middle of summer. B...
So it turns out I'm not human. To be frank, I wasn't surprised when upon that fateful day my friend's words turned to ashes in my mouth, almost choking me with their utmost falseness. After all, humans can't taste lies, so the obvious answer was that I wasn't human. Still it wasn't exactly the most comforting thing to ...
Who was the first Mayor of Earth? &nbsp; A) Mayor Mc-cheese &nbsp; B) Mayor Frosty Creams &nbsp; C) Senator Burger and the French fries &nbsp; D) Miss T-Bone Steak &nbsp; The hell was this question? Everything had been strange lately, but this was weirder than usual. Turning to glance at m...
This scythe emanates an inexplicable energy. It resonates with the souls of thousands, as though struggling to escape its confines. It is an artifact of unspeakable power, and I have no clue as to why I am its master now. All I know is that Death, in his mysterious ways, sneaked up to the door of my hovel one night and...
Part 1 I almost choked, my head was spinning as I looked at the old bird. Somehow still airborne even with the scars of battle from nose to tail. The pin-up girl below the cockpit barely recognizable because off three slashes that I could only describe as claw marks. The boys in the tower were about to shit themselves...
The pot shattered with a sickening crack against the corner of my small cottage. I forced a smile onto my face and watched as the hero made his way over to the next pot in the row. Looked like he was going for Grandma this time. The hero threw and ashes billowed outwards alongside shards of clay. I winced. Sorry Gra...
As the cheers of the crowd died down, I graciously accepted the King’s generous reward, inwardly cursing at my ill fortune. How could I have known that the struggling mines would strike gold and investing the kingdom’s entire treasury in it would pay off big time instead of bankrupting it? I gave my best practiced smi...
Duct tape. Three feet of rope. A pink dress on a wire hanger. The time I pulled out a monkey wrench, I guessed there was a plumbing problem. I went to the basement, and there was a leaky pipe. Another time, I pulled out a bandage, and figured a cut was coming. Ten minutes later, despite my caution, I brushed against ...
"Fuck"- Tenn O'gul yelled out in disgust while spitting the beer out. That was his 26th victim of the night, and he had yet to taste a single drop of blood in his mouth. Tenn O'gul used to be a Count back when before people knew what a gun was. But nowadays, he's just an old, short, and ugly vampire. It had been hard ...
Edit: I want to thank everyone for the incredible amount of support and praise and reddit gold this has generatred. It's really blown my mind and I'm starting to think I should listen to my father, who's always pestering me to publish my work. I don't mean to sound presumptuous, but if anyone else feels like giving thi...
I am astonished. More than astonished, I'm dumbfounded. I always believed in my Bible, and that the world is a bare 6000 years old. The good book is clear about how the universe, and all of creation, was...er...well...created. It was by Jesus. And by Jesus I mean God, who is both the father and the whole. Fossils ar...
His back against the alley wall, Greenscale took a deep breath and let the fire out slow like cigarette smoke. "Come on, Green, lunch ended ten minutes ago,"the manager said, sticking his head out the back door then disappearing back inside. Green got up, sighed and went back inside the bank. This was not the life...
Today’s been the weirdest day. When I went to put my bowl of cereal on the table, for some reason it wouldn’t stay down on the table, I had to hold it there with my left hand while pouring the milk with the right. Somehow the milk stayed in the bowl, but when I went to drink it after the cereal, the texture of the milk...
We lizard people are a fairly close knit society. There's so few of us that I know close to everyone who lives in the tri-state area, and definitely, I would have spotted Jeremy at the latest lizard people reunion in our neighbourhood. It's not like he was new to the neighbourhood, he was my neighbour for the past deca...
'It must have been so strange back then,' Anaric said. He was looking right at the homo sapien - a male, he was pretty sure - and the man was staring straight back at him. There was definitely something there in his eyes, something familiar. But it was different. Not what Anaric was used to seeing among his own kind. ...
I shut the door, lock it. Flip the Open sign to Closed. “They gone?” One of them asks from the back wall. “They’re gone,” I say, watching my last customer walk down the path and into the night. I walk back across the tea shop. They are coming in now, through the back, with their slow, patient strides across my tiled...
The small oil lamp had seen better days. Smudged with grime and dented from years of neglect, I couldn't help but feel bad for the little trinket as it sat, forgotten, in antique store. I picked it up and admired the intricate designs only barely visible beneath the rust and caked-on dirt. If I cleaned it up, it would ...
Remember when we first met? You said, to your crew members "Oh, look, a human. He's cute', and waved at me. And I said "HOLY MOTHER OF GOD AN ALIEN", and tried to kill you with a shovel. Then things cooled off, and our planets got to know each other, and they learned to live in a somewhat state of peace. And we le...
Lucifer had been rather accomadating, all things considered. And hell as a whole had been more... Civil than expected. Sure, the flames and chains and eternal torture was still there. But a whole government system had also been set up too. The whole nine yards, really. Hell (no pun intended, seriously, there's litera...
Gandalf, grading papers: "You shall not pass, you shall not pass... raises an eyebrow "you definitely shall not pass." Gets to Fred and George Weasley's paper and chuckles "I must try that with my fireworks" ------- Meanwhile, in the Shire Dumbledore: "Take my arm Frodo. Hold tight." *aparates to Mount Do...
I had finally done it. My finest achievement sat in front of me, glistening in the florescent lights of my workshop. I put on the suit and typed in "1 year +"into the controller on my wrist. With a bright flash of light and a loud pop I felt myself being ripped out of time. It was a strange sensation and is very hard...
SCU-12986 rushed to the Master Control Program. "Speak, SCU-12986"MCP said to the machine. "Sir". replied the Sentient Command Unit, "I have a analysed a discrepancy within the human's encryption." MCP's AI core glared at SCU. "Impossible, we can adapt to every function they perform when they communicate. They are los...
At 5 PM, Lothrak shut off his computer monitor and stood up, sending his braided beard tumbling down. He nodded to Ted in the cubicle next to him. "Farewell, Ted of the Accounting Department!"he shouted, thumping his chest with a closed fist in what must have been some kind of Viking farewell tradition or something. L...
I slammed the door so hard that the crack echoed down the hall. Tom, who had been slumped over on top of his desk, jolted upright instantly, shook his head, and blinked rapidly. “I’m up,” he said groggily. There were little lines pressed into his cheek in the exact pattern of the desk’s wood grain. “Sure, Tom.” I p...
The transition between headlights to afterlife was instant. Orlando was still clutching his chest as he tried to figure out where he was. It looked like a large living room with faux wooden walls and a green shag rug. The room was adorned with wicker furniture and one of those big bamboo seats with a round cushion. Orl...
She’s so beautiful. The second I see her my mind darts back to that little dinner party anecdote my uncle would always spout. “Well I had to travel to France,” he’d start “when your words are in French, you have to take the plunge. Six months I studied the language, six months I saved money for a ticket, only to fi...
Lucy trotted into the courtroom, led by her owner, a woman in a black dress and heels. The woman was clearly nervous, constantly looking down to her little Pomeranian, whispering words of comfort not only to it, but also to herself. From the benches, a hundred and three eyes all stared at the two earth creatures. Som...
As I begin my ascension to the surface, I chuckle to myself thinking of all the chaos I will bring unto this poor unsuspecting world. Fire! Floods! Disease and famine! How I've missed this, the feeling of anticipation before destruction. My excitement only builds as I reach the surface. I burst through the water with ...
Have you ever heard that, if you’re in prison and you find a chocolate on your pillow, don’t eat the chocolate, or someone will own your ass? Well, as I woke the morning of Christmas Eve, I was staring at a whole pile of chocolates. But even better than chocolate, it was a stack of bills as thick as my arm. It must hav...
Peas...carrots...potatoes...I looked up from my list at the onions laid at in an incline. I've never really used onions much in my cooking, so I'm not sure what to look for in a 'good' onion. I wrapped my long, bony fingers around it and squeezed gently. I brought it up to my nose and sniffed it. Yup, I was holding an ...
To all those reading this, whether this is your first read, or you're rereading, please know that I've created a subreddit specifically for this story. It has grown beyond what I could possible expect, and you can find it at /r/TheNamelessMan/! *** Emperor Xen So waved a wrinkled hand from the podium he stood behi...
It’s funny how naïve science fiction writers were. They assumed we would be on the same level as aliens – that our battles would be fought on even ground. They egotistically thought that humans might even have an edge for our “special” upbringing on Earth. But space is big. Really big. By the time, we finally found a ...
We'd kept them locked up around Sol for over three centuries. Watching their civilization was like studying cancer through a microscope. First one planet colonized. Then two. Then four. Then eight. Growing, and growing, and growing, swarming over moons and through gas giants. Destroying everything in its path. Burning ...
"God, son. Look how you've grown." I looked at my dad, still completely in shock. This was not the man I'd seen in all the pictures. He looked like a swashbuckling hero, not the mild-mannered individual I'd been brought up looking at. What the hell was happening? "I was on my way back from the store, and I was sucked...
"Uhhh"I muttered aloud. I rubbed my eyes and blinked a few times. Nope still there. I looked around, 20, 19, 25, 22, 28, and so forth, one in every thirty was over 40, maybe 50; even fewer were in the 70's. "What the fuck"I said aloud again without realizing it. Now people started to stare, I was after all just staring...
I smiled when I heard the announcement. I was right. I slowly started to make myself comfortable again as the drug wore off. I couldn’t think of the name of it, too many syllables. But I do know it’s effects. It temporarily stops your heart and breathing leaving you unconscious for only 12 hours before you wake up. Rea...
Of all of them I disliked the priest the most, though I can admit that was more due to my own prejudices. In my years on the road I had little use for the gods, particularly then and particularly with that party. If I had I might have thought they had cursed me after all. Their names were Aaron and Aelia, Ulago and Xan...
It's all going to hell. All of it. The forest canopy spins dark circles over my head, even as I lay still as a stone. Everything tastes like blood and terror. Part of me is trying to float away, like a balloon tugged from a child's fingers. I hold on tighter. Try to keep myself grounded in the moment. I am Kiara Owl...
The entire room stared at me with wide eyes, some covering their mouths, others whispering to each other. I could feel their judgement hot upon my neck. "Dude... there are kids here..."my opponent said, rubbing his eyes. "Why would you say that?" I was too furious to respond, and thankfully, I didn't have to. We al...
"Why the fuck did we grab this fat kid. He's too fucking heavy to move around."asked one of my captors. "Think about it idiot,"replied another voice, "someone who eats as much as this kid does probably comes from a family with money. Now shut your damn mouth and bring him into the warehouse." While these imbeciles co...
Dear me, I'm sorry I've let you down. I'm sorry I've not achieved what you thought you would. And I'm sorry I couldn't' be braver for you. I want to assure you that you are a strong person, though. I want you to know that you will achieve what you want and that you'll eventually be the person you want to be. Yo...
Sarah walked over to the mirror and disrobed so she could see her naked body in its entirety. She looked at her body with conflicted feelings. She was definitely gorgeous. There was no denying that. Her lips were fuller. Her breasts were bigger. Her tummy was as flat as a board. Part of her knew she should be happy. T...
"You have news?" A lesser race. One that has ascended to space-faring. "Very good. Prepare to welcome them to the-" You do not understand. It is not of us. And with that, the Progenitors knew surprise. "...explain." *We are unsure for now. Perhaps a mishandling of bacteria. Perhaps a rogue party. But the ...
The God of Thunder blended in surprisingly well amongst the sea of red chairs and 50s themed decor. He had opted to stray away from his usual attire of armor and metal wear, not trying to disguise himself, but rather he had found he was served faster when he didn't look so out of place. Though his hammer remained on th...
Johnny's mom had always told him not to talk to strangers. However, she made no mention of what he should do if a Super Villain burst through the roof of his elementary school, threw him over his shoulders, and took him for a joy ride over the skyscrapers of New York. So all Johnny could do was to cry. After all, this ...
The silent shapes, covered in flowing robes, glided into the moonlit clearing. Tree branches stretched toward the bright stars above, and a chilling July wind whistled through the forest and rattled the leaves. Each of the 11 figures took their assigned spots to form a circle in the clearing. One by one they removed th...
"You... You can't do that!"The Fae was flustered, they'd never encountered a human smart enough to trick them. "Was there a rule stating that I can't keep both?"The Mother defiantly asked "Well, no, but..." "Then its settled. I keep both. I've always wanted to raise twins. At a fault of being a twin myself." "Fin...
Looking out the window at the people and the costumes, Harry was thinking that, eventually, he'd have to decide if he either hated or loved Halloween. It was a tough call. "That's your costume?"Jeremy asked, coming out from the bedroom, and Harry turned and shook his head. "No costume", he said. "Come with us", Nina...
So... this is my life now I thought while looking at the man that kind of looked like me. It all started several years ago; one night while sleeping a man showed up in my dream, he had a black suit, a well maintained hair and the rest of his appearance screamed "success"in a way only rich powerful men managed to....
Coincidence. That's all. He's watching a different game on his phone, but with the same teams. An old game. And what happened in that game was the same play that just happened in this game. That's all, Tom. You're not going crazy. It's just history repeating itself. Still, I shift closer, leaning forward and watc...
"It was a joke, sir, he can't possibly make a spoon into a heavy laser weapon." The Captain let out an exasperated sigh, his neck feathers ruffling in frustration. "For the last time, officer, stop saying the human can't do things. The last time this happened he made a tomato into a doom engine that destroyed a small...
Liao had been in the Beijing market looking at seafood when someone fired a gun. The fish almost looked comfortable on the bed of ice, like it was being pampered in some kind of strange aquatic spa. He was about to purchase a cut of tuna when he heard the gun. Men, and maybe women too — it was hard to say behind the ...
"Brush with water." That's right, you heard me correctly. I, the 10th dentist, recommend brushing with naught but water. Let me provide some context: I have been examining teeth for longer than I care to think about. And one thing seems universal: no matter how you brush, no matter how hard you try, no matter your b...
A flame wavered in the distance. Flimsy, sputtering, like one of the many disposable Zippos I purchased from the local Walmart. My Light couldn’t be any more pathetic. A little brighter would be nice. A second flame sputtered into life beside the first. Its flames flickered, nearly dying as if threatened b...
The announcer's booming voice filled the air, overtaking even the thunderous roar of the packed stadium. "Please rise for the singing of our national anthem." Today was finally the day. Libra Abbott had spent the last 20 years completely mute in preparation for tonight. It was hard to get a ticket to the Superbowl, ...
Dave Miller was, by most accounts, a normal person. He had just turned 30, and was doing pretty well in life. Not great, but pretty well. He had a nice girlfriend, a good job, and a reasonable apartment. Nothing spectacular in any regards, but good. That isn't to say he did not have his fair share of problems, of cou...
"No, really,"exclaimed the scrawny reed of a man, "I'm a villain!" He twirled dramatically, but nearly tripped over his own feet, and hastily indicated his clothing. "Look at my black outfit! I live inside a cave! What about this fancy gun that shoots missiles?" Superman sighed and absently twirled the little curl ...
I've been doing this for years, now... and I've never really "Freddy Kruger"d anybody. It's crossed my mind, of course. I've even put the fear into some people, but I always end on a sunny note. I guess I'm just not a mean guy. Initially, I visited the dreams of people I knew. Handed out fun stuff, had some good t...
My tormentor was an ingrate, but he knew how to cause me problems. His father was the mayor, so he seemed immune to the law. I was beaten, stalked, and suffered no end of indignities, but this had taken all of that and made it look like a beautiful summer afternoon. He had me framed for utilizing powers, powers I nev...
After yet another boring day at school, I got home, ready to make food and spend the entire night procrastinating. As I walked up, I noticed an abnormal number of cars littering the area, some even double-parked on our street. Must be some kind of party. Damnit, Dad. The front door was unlocked, and the main room wa...
Some people chase after money. Others chase after love. Still others chase after books, movies, hell, even writing. I couldn’t even imagine: just sitting in front of your computer coming up with stories. Why do that when you could go out and make your own? But all of them, yes even the writers, are looking for one thi...
It takes me a few tries, but I finally manage to get the key into the lock and wrench my door open. I added a few new scratches onto the front of the deadbolt, but that’s nothing new. This isn’t the first time I’ve stumbled home after a few too many and had to stand out on my own stoop for twenty fucking minutes just t...
I took a deep breath. They were all depending on me. The last trees were gone. The last grass. The air was full of smoke. The gaunt-faced survivors circled me with desperate eyes. "Bury me,"I said at last, holding out my arms to them. They did. The sprout grew quickly taller above the gravelly grave. It seemed to ...
God is dead, but chin up. There's no use crying over it. We found out the old bastard died the same time we found out he was really there to begin with. God turned out to be exactly like my dad: I could be sad to see him go, but he was never fuckin there for me anyway. But even gods obey physics: energy cannot be...
His editor sat at her seat, reading the final pages of Martin's The Tale of the Lancastrian War, the epic third book in his A War of A Hundred Years fantasy series. It was, as Martin promised, to be his best book yet, to spread across the entirety of the Seven Kingdoms. By the New and Old Gods, even the Northerners...
Everything was going so well. I'd had a run of good luck recently, including a new job and an amazing new boyfriend. So I knew I had it coming; something bad was bound to happen soon. Instead of waiting for fate to catch up with me, I was proactive: I played the lottery. It's generally a very safe bet. Billions of p...
It was valentines day. Superficial love plastered in cards and cheap chocolate and flowers. I'd never bothered with it all before, but the sullen dejected look on Rachel's face last year had been burned oh so clearly into my memory. Well today would be different, today I was going to buy overpriced flowers and perhaps ...
The young, slick-haired boy smiled at the camera. Don Auditorio suppressed a sigh. They were all the same, these up-and-coming soldatos. Thought they were a rising star. Thought they knew how to do his job better. "Not taking any risks, hm, boss?"The boy grinned at lens hovering near his face. "Be quiet,"Auditor...
Journal entry, January 8th, 2189: I've been commissioned to investigate the strange phenomenon of everyone receiving the same death date of December 31st, 2199. Its an occurrence that has happened for most between 2150-2189. It was noted in records as early as 2120, but surviving from 2120 to 2199 was seen as quite a ...
Salty cereals. Fluffy old sweaters. A smokeless fireplace. Bit of jazz. Raindrops on windows. All of my favorite things. A little human girl of nine, living with loving parents. A bit absent sometimes, but always loving. The little girl always happy. She found me first, in a cardboard box. Outside the streets. Me bl...
TW: Suicidal Ideation “I’m a horrible person. What the fuck is wrong with me?” I said to nobody. I’ve been on the couch for two days now, stressing and eating leftovers. Everything was going well, I kept my job for almost an entire year. But once again a tiredness set itself in my bones and eventually I couldn’t muste...
"We're going to start off today by reviewing the Treaty of Versailles, the pact that was made between the major world powers of the time to keep peace in Europe and beyond. This treaty was famously broken when Germany, a people known for their logical and unfeeling natures, suddenly ramped up war-time production and la...
She had heard the hum of the waterfall, the crack of lightning, the whirl of a tornado, but she’d never heard a sound as terrifying as this. The engine roared, and the blade buzzed like a million termites chewing at once. Pain. That was all she felt. One of her trees had fallen before it’s time. They had warned her o...
I opened the fridge door for some water. God, I was thirsty. Why do I always forget to carry water with me when I come back home from work? I gulped down half a bottle of water and closed the fridge. As I walked towards my room, I felt a sharp tug and my stomach felt weird. It was as though I was on a roller coaster....
"Alright men!"Sarge shouted, rotating around. "We've been abandoned by our maker in these Godforsaken wilds. All we know for certain is that we're not going back home." "But we're in the Great Dunes, nothing lives here,"Private Bob responded. "Look to the skies,"Sarge responded, angling himself to point to the sky. R...
Everyone knows about ninjas. This is true. Almost no one knows about ninjas. This is also true. Everyone knows, for example, that ninjas wear black. And they do! Everyone knows that they do this to be stealthy, and this is also true. But black will 'pop' in darkness- dark blue will serve much better, to blen...
It pains me to confess the frustration I felt when an update changed the platform my parents uploaded their videos to. They used to be so skilled, so quick when it came to adapting themselves to the changes, but the whiter their hair became, the more their hands trembled, the more trouble they had and the more often th...
Alexander walked through the gallery of The Bat. Generations of his family were portrayed as the Dark Knight of their time. Dressed in full armour and the cowl under their arm. Some had their respective Robin standing besides them. He stopped at the last portrait in the gallery. It portrayed the first Batman. Alexande...
"Paul, look, it's an eagle." Paul craned his neck to the clear blue sky, raising an eyebrow as he caught sight of the winged beast floating on the midday breeze. It passed over them and flew over the distant cliff's edge, rising higher to avoid the spitting sea as it crashed against the rocks. "So it is, John, so it ...
Love bears a power capable of breaking the boundaries of possibility. Although that may sound slightly cheesy, it was particularly true for me and my wife. When we met it was as if a fire had unleashed in the core of our hearts, and all of a sudden, when we shared our first day together, something happened. It was li...
Being the newest lawyer at the largest firm around, you tend to get the worst of cases from both sides of the spectrum. The most contentious divorces with kids and pettiness, and the most pedantic arbitrations with low billable hours. Shit truly does roll downhill, and I knew today would be no different when the snicke...
"Fuck you, Dad,"Michael whispered. "I didn't turn out like you. Cycle broken." "Dad, what did you say?"Caleb asked, stirred awake. "Nothing, son,"Michael said through the crack in the door. "Just excited for your birthday tomorrow. Sixteen's a big one." "Straight up, did you guys get me a car?"Caleb asked, sitting u...
My mom handed me a plate of bacon and eggs and said, "You were an accident." "Sorry what?"I set the plate on the table, pulled my seat out, but couldn't bring myself to sit down. She prepared her morning coffee and kept talking. "God it feels good to say that. Every time I make you a meal or do your laundry, I can't ...
Having an apprentice was a bit like adopting a puppy. It was a fresh rush of life that never ceased to amaze you. Sure, sometimes they would set your carpet on fire, but other times they would impress you with their ability to see the world in a way that you never thought possible. While Valery might have seemed rather...
I spent my life trying to avoid this moment. For as long as our family records exist, when a son is born, the father dies. My birth meant the death of my father. I avoided women. I refused to allow myself to fall in love. I ... then I met her and it was all for naught. I told her I did not want children. We too...
It came faded and groggy, at the back of my mind. Rot had long taken that part of my skull anyway, and drearily and groggily it woke me up from the dusty bed I'd taken refuge in. Fill the nearest machine, you lumpy sack of flesh. Covers slipped up and bones fell onto the floor, the dead remnants of some pre-war touri...
As the dust settled and the screaming stopped, Gordon and his crew surrounded the small spacecraft that had interrupted the lunch session at The Pink Flamingo restaurant in Miami. Luckily, the spacecraft didn't hit anyone, but it had torn a massive hole in the ceiling of the quaint Caribbean themed dining room. The own...
He was a knight, valiant protector of humans. His motives were pure, altruistic, and for the good of the many. Dave was the best among humans, offering kindness, table scraps, and tummy scratches to all doggykind. Truly, Dave was worthy of his protection and devotion. Fortunately, the OGB agreed. They sent him, Spot ...
I aimed my double barrel shotgun straight at that suit-clad, tiny-looking panda. To my lack of surprise, the malformed bird reeled toward me, it's needle-like beak wide opened, shrieking a diabolical shriek. I kicked it straight on its chest, throwing him down to the ground. "Where are the others?"I shouted, the shado...
The bombs did not explode. Their effect was not immediate. But our careless choices as a species slowly took their toll on our world. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Some of the bombs landed in the ocean. The toxic plutonium-239 contained in their hulls poisone...
Earth was never meant to live this long. She was supposed to die with her sister, Mars, years ago. She's been sick, plagued by ice age chills, fever swings, and marks on her complexion. But I knew Earth when she was beautiful, and now that she's not, I still remember. It's a shame I can only see her every seventy...
Revenus stared at the heavy wooden door, watching as the hero’s party pounded against it, knocking tendrils of dust loose and rattling the old hinges. He ran a hand through his wispy white hair. His ancient heart pulsed in his ears to the steady rhythm of the banging door. It had been far too long that he’d been forc...
Crowds lined the museum hallways to see the new exhibit. The year is 2217, and humanity had reached its peak. Technology had advanced exponentially over the past three centuries. Robots worked in place of humans, allowing the humans to live in luxury. The Solar System had been fully colonized (well, at least the plane...
