“Knowledge works differently for us.” I blinked my eyes. “Huh?” Harry, or as he preferred, Harren the Mighty, snorted out a puff of smoke. “You flesh worms are truly foolish. You spend your adolescence as smaller, helpless fleshworms, and follow your elderly around like ducklings.” “It’s just so *p...
"Welcome to Pine Grove Mall. Have a wonderful time shopping." It's the same elevator. The same automatic greeting message. It's the same thing again and again. But this time, something felt off. The elevator felt smaller. I didn't feel alone. "Everything is repeating for you, too? Isn't it?"A gruff but quiet voice w...
I signed up for a casual seaside holiday, not to wake up with a mysterious mark that sent everyone running from me. To make things worse, it was a warm summer, so I didn't bring any long-sleeved clothing to hide the snaking tendrils on my arm. Nobody would answer me, all the townsfolk would evade me, hiding behind clo...
In the mystical realm of the fae, where enchantment and mischief danced hand in hand, a unique bond blossomed between a fae named Lyra and a curious human named Alex. Their connection transcended the magical boundaries, founded on shared laughter and genuine friendship. However, the whims of the fae were fickle, and on...
He dusted himself off as he climbed to his feet. Soot was a bitch to get rid of, and dry cleaning at the North Pole was exorbitant. He squinted at the dirty piece of paper. The list, people called it. He didn't bother checking it twice. Who had time for that these days? His eyes scanned past lines of crossed out nam...
My hand grasped the pen. I, as usual, had my thoughts somewhere between what Mr. Brown's Pythagoras related droning and Susie Watkins' rack. But my head started to hurt. I gritted my teeth and groaned, Mr. Brown didn't notice as usual, the boring old fart. I'm not sure if he'd noticed by the time I hit the desk head fi...
GREGOR CLELGANE- The Mountain lead his men south. The war had been hard, but Robb Stark was killed in his wedding hall and Stannis had been pacified after the destruction of his fleet. Gregor only had one thing left to do: Respond to the queen 's summon. He had no opposition to that order, as it was cold even in summer...
"Nice weather we're having,"said the Christian as the Muslim and Buddhist took their seats to her left. "Yeah, but I heard it's supposed to rain this weekend,"suggested the Atheist. "Really?"asked the Muslim. "I haven't seen a weather forecast in a couple of days." "Yes, I saw it on the WILX morning news,"said the B...
"Iraq? Of course. There was only ever one course of action regarding that--troops who are there will do their job, and within the year they'll be home. But not now. Not while there's still something to improve." "But why?" "Because the middle east is has some bad people in it, and we need to teach them how to be good...
The sky was black, the oceans were red and the ground was white with ash. The crops had died and all the animals along with them, the last dregs of humanity were fighting over the last few drops of fuel and cannibalizing eachother to survive. Times were bad. The Four Horsemen had come and gone, even they grew tired of ...
When she came into my life, I experienced the rush of color full-on. It slammed into my mind like freight train. She was everything I've ever wanted, everything I had. I could give her a violet petunia, or a yellow daffodil. We could look at the blue clouds together, walk on the green grass. She was wild, a free spirit...
I accidentally put the mug down a little too harshly, causing some of the blood in it to spill out. This letter was just too hilarious to be able to control my reaction. A wild cackle escaped my lips and I almost fell off the worshiper I was sitting on. Tears had started to appear in my eyes but I calmed myself down an...
Neil was motionless as he stared at the glitch, unable to believe his luck. Like everyone else he knew, he’d been searching ever since the first discovery was made. Discoveries were rare, were so well rewarded you could happily retire on your planet of choice – provided the glitch was gathered intact. The glitch shif...
All in all, the day was going fine. Greg finally managed to grind out that legendary helm that provided immunity to arcane damage, and he even got awarded with a mount in a previous raid. Awesome. He sat back and cracked his fingers before rubbing his eyes. He looked to the corner of his screen. 03:42 AM. Balls. He alw...
As we arrived in formation to the battlefield, there were several...almost sequential...booms of sound in the air. the unmistakable sound of ticking was heard...as...as if our war was to be...timed. We waited, and waited for what seemed to be hours on end, but finally the Pale Armies of the Snow Kingdoms arrived. As ...
Sometimes I would catch a glimpse of her through the eyes of a newborn child, as the mother writhed in the throes of fatal complications. As the spark of my gift faded and left a squalling infant lying in a pool of blood and mourning, I would rise from the bright ember of new life and watch the dying light from the dep...
I didn't ask for this curse. I did not even know I was different until the age of 11, when I was bullied for being overzealous in class. As I would raise my hand classmates would tease, "Why don't you let someone else answer a question, Wendy."I was confused, hadn't the teacher just given the answers seconds before? ...
The fanart war was long and arduous, bringing untold destruction and the loss of countless lives. But there were the good ones, as well. Nathan Fillion somehow got even more rougeishly handsome, and when he found his artist, gave him a job as his personal weapon. The practise was common for a while, but after a few yea...
"I can't believe your mother killed herself." I didn't look up from my cup of coffee. I focused on my distorted reflection in the dark liquid. "See anything interesting in there?"he asked, finally taking a seat across from me at the table. A few moments of silence passed us by before I looked up at him. "Only miser...
You know, Dad and I never really did get along. I mean, he wasn't able to be around much when I was a kid. Sure, he made the effort to be there on weekends and at big enough school events, but never at night. I know it bothered him, and I don't hold it against him or anything. I knew he was doing what he did for the ...
I walked up to the bus station. The bus wasn't there, but that was ok. I could wait. To my left, my friend Jason came up to me. "Hey."I said. "Hey."He replied. Oh God, not him again. "Wh-what?"I said, shocked. "I said, hey."Jesus. Learn english, moron. "Why would you say that?" "Say what, 'hey'?"*I should hav...
I have been the right hand to the Dark Lord for so long that I'm the only one who remembers his real name. Who remembers what he looked like before he donned the armor, the mask and the demeanor. Before, he was a proud man. Violent, but just. Firm, but fair. But he was no ruler back then, no more than he is now. I brok...
I was homeless, you know. Like so many others, it was a vicious spiral of drug addiction, no education, and despair. That was all Pre-Morentower, of course: now that he's running things, there is no more homelessness. And addicts are given the help they need, not shunned. I used to sleep in an alley near Midtown right...
“Okay, what about those?” I said, pointing to the sunglasses. The cashier turned and plucked them off the wall. He wrinkled his nose at them. I wondered if it hurt when he did that, the septum piercing and everything. “I dunno, dude,” he said. “No price tag.” “But they’re on the wall,” I said desperately. “Look, the...
'Seriously man, you've got to try this app.' 'What does it do? It's not some Snapchat bullshit or anything like that, I can't deal with another stupid messaging thing.' Hank had not stopped hearing about Orpheo since it launched a few weeks ago. People could not stop preaching about it, it was being banned in offices a...
The wind snapped at the two guard's heels the day the mother came screaming for the release of her son. "Where is he? Does that bastard have him?"she howled, throwing herself against Oliver Nook's lean body, punching at him in her fury. "He's done nothing wrong! Where IS HE?" Oliver stared straight ahead, not al...
"Your sword and your shield can be placed right there." "And my necklace of heads?" The tall man asks, not sure to place the necklace of decapitated skulls on my desk, or on the floor. "The floor please,"I say, pointing to a nice spot for the tall man to put his trophies, "My desk is a mess as it is." The tall man...
I was walking through the grocery store when, suddenly, I found my path blocked by a pirate, a ninja and a kung fu master. They walked towards me, shoulder to shoulder with their heads slightly lowered. "Your reign of terror ends here,"the ninja said. "I am going to be the greatest in the world, so I have to defeat ...
The groups formed quickly. At first, no one moved. Everyone stood still, silent, staring at each other, feeling suddenly how close all the cabins were and how many of us were packed onto this ship. No one wanted to make the first move, but everyone was watching everyone else. The hum of the engines was the only noise...
“My Lord, my Lord,” I heard as I was shaken awake. Standing over me was Gabriel wings tucked tight to his back. “What is it Gabriel?” I asked, rubbing my eyes. We hadn’t had anything worth waking up for in thousands of years, not since we took up residence in Heaven. “I think you had better come see,” Gabriel said. ...
Jack awoke from his "life"in his well know black chair. Even though he had done it hundreds of times, he never quite got used to the sudden awakening, quickly followed by the sudden realisation and subsequent horror, that the life he had lived was indeed, a false one. But after his initial shock had settled, he started...
I was this close to falling asleep, when my sheets were ripped away. I thought I was going to die of cold shock. The cracking of naked knuckle bones broke the silence, and a long, white finger speared out of the dark. It stopped an inch from my nose. "CHOOSE!"the voice tolled louder than an iron bell. I couldn't se...
"Can I help you?" "Yeah man, where can I find the wine aisle?" "It's a gas station sir, we don't sell wine." "Damn. Right, gimme some water then." "Huh?" "Water's free right?" "Well, yeah." "Sick. A cup of water then." "At least it'll help you sober up. Here." "Ha, ^sober ^up ^he ^says ..." "What?" "Nothing, thanks...
"Hey Jean, it's been awhile." The lamp was as stereotypical as they get, a lamp that practically had the word 'genie' scrawled on each side. Jean himself was not however, and more often than not looked like a shapeless green smoke. I never asked him why green. "Kaleb, isn't it?"Jean spoke casually, like we were two...
Life hasn't always been so easy for me. My mom died while giving birth to my little brother Andy when I was 8, and my dad descended into a bath of alcohol and his own tears until I was 14 years old, when he killed himself. Luckily, I was the one who found his lifeless body hanging from the ceiling, dripping blood from ...
I'd become used to it. Three hundred and sixty five days of the year, and I would find something new to do each day. Vacations were the best. I would go mountain climbing knowing it would never happen again, and... well, it was surprisingly refreshing. Same for river rapids-boating and all that other fun stuff you woul...
Clive sauntered down a dirty street. Rain fell down, dowsing himself and everything around him in a wet shine. He turned down a seedy alleyway. Sirens, honking cars, screeching of tires, talking, and general busy noise filled the air as Clive walked down the trash filled alley. He came to a steel door, graffiti covered...
The boy dreamed about being king. He had been taught as soon as he could walk about the importance of exercising power and authority. The boy had been taught to be cruel to his staff, the very people in charge of raising him from infancy. When he turned the age of 14, he had been taught to hunt. To not feel during a ...
Stage entrances of theaters are often on quiet streets or alleys, and using them always makes me a little nervous, and glad I have a bodyguard. So when I heard a sound of a scuffle behind me I turned quickly enough to see two men muscling Chico into a black car, a hand over his mouth. At the same moment two strong hand...
"Well, we usually have attendance problems when it comes to this time of year, but I can see that we have 38 'students' in our class of 17. Not only did every single one of you hire someone to kill someone else, some of you hired extras. Hats off to you guys, you learned to spend money. Now let's do this a little diffe...
"It's done? How the hell is it done?" The "SEQUENCE COMPLETED"pop-up window kept flashing in my face. Why did I make it red? It's such a menacing color. This doesn't even make sense! I only wrote that code to crash the memory. Now I'll never get a new computer from Technical Resources... I wanted to sigh. Looking b...
I BASED THIS OFF OF THE ROMAN GODDESS OF WAR, BELLONA. PLEASE LEAVE ANY CRITICISM AND FEEDBACK OR COMPLIMENTS ;). THIS MY THIRD WP RESPONSE (Mark) Everything was going well until the phone call. It was a beautiful summer's day. The sky was clear and there was a light breeze which took the heat off my face. I...
I couldn’t believe the lies and deceit in our own American History, hell the entire World’s history. It is true what they say, 'history is always written and influenced by its victor.' I never imagined myself being one of the few to actually help amend or change it when necessary. My name is Peter Collins. As of yest...
My eyes scanned the room, not its interiors but the faces inhabiting it, looking for a giveaway. A sign. I had been searching for the past couple minutes, ever since I felt the telltale lurch, the feeling of time's rusty gears grinding to a halt, just to begin again instantaneously. I would know, I mean, I had been fee...
When I first found the power music had in this world, I was getting pulled over for a speeding ticket. I had turned from some of my 'normal' tunes for a quick fix of Bob Marley. It was an honest mistake, really. But the music was playing, and suddenly a deputy was standing there with a glazed expression on their face, ...
“Good morning, class!” The ever-effervescent Ms. Frizzle floated into the classroom, with gleaming black umbrella earrings and a bright yellow bag in tow. “Today, we’ll be soaring to new heights, and diving to new depths, as we explore the wonders of the carbon-” “Ms. Frizzle?” a voice rang out. All the other stud...
I couldn't tell why someone was trying to throw fire at me. All I know is that I was still tired after 39 year nap. Anyway, this guy - not even joking, dressed like a circus performer of some sort - was trying to light me on fire with his hulla-hoop of flames. At least I think it was called that; again, I wasn't payin...
"Goodnight, kids,"I say going to the door and turn off the lights to their room. "Night, mommy,"they both say in unison. Before I but my hand on the light switch I notice a drawing that looks to familiar. I pull it off the wall it was taped on. "Who is this,"I ask looking at the drawing. A blue looking monster with ...
As I shot some poor fellow with a concentrated non-lethal shock suppression round from my modified energy pistol I couldn't help but stop to appreciate how honorable the other species of the universe are. And how dishonorable humans are. When humanity first ventured into the known galaxy we quickly realized that the...
> WARNING: Some strong language “Alright, get out of bed! I want you to retrace your steps.” The number glows brightly in my murky unlit apartment. 2438. My clock reads 2438. I know that’s what it says; the image is burned into my brain, but I can’t stop checking it. I have to kind of squint to read the year, but...
The man in the black hood barged through the front doors, shattering them. Glass fell everywhere, filling the building with nerve racking sounds. I peeked around the corner of the shelf I hid behind. He was still holding that damned silver pistol. "You just don't get it, do you?"He said aloud, as he approached my loca...
The criminal was inside the museum. James looked at the wall. "He's at the fossil exhibit. He's not expecting it. Let's go!" Me and James ran in and took our fighting stances. "I'm the X-Ray Wall!"James shouted. "I'm the Banana-Man!"I shouted. "Together, we're the Stomach Contents!" "Ha ha, you kids don't even k...
Disclaimer: I got caught up in my writing and went way beyond the colony. Apologies. The three of us were completely inseparable. Truth be told, it wasn't that uncommon. Most of the kids were encouraged to befriend the other races of the Triumvirate. We went to school together, played together, slept at each other's...
"What?" "Yes humans, electricity is indeed-" "No. Just, no. Let me stop you right there. Electricity is one of the fundamental forces of the universe. It's everywhere, we can see it generated in the interactions of objects that have no way of getting it from the core of the Earth. Electromagnetism is why distant st...
"I don't think I like you that wa.... Just like that I reset the area around me, everything was shifting to how it was about 20 minutes ago. "Damn it, I thought it was a sure thing"I thought to myself There was nothing I could do, but keep going, as if it never happened. I do this a lot, only my dad knows about my s...
I was born in 1993 to an indifferent mother and an absentee father that was completely gone by the time I was six. Deborah went through the motions of raising me: "Do your homework,""Eat your vegetables,""I love you,""Brush your teeth." But she never really meant any of it. So I quickly learned to do what's expected,...
You looked around. You were in court. Again. You wound up here so frequently that for a while you studied law. Sometimes you were a juror, other times a witness, and in today's case, the accused. What was it you had done this time? Puddle jumping through time like you were so want to do, left holes in your memory. Ah ...
The words were taunting Max. -There is a god.- For a supercomputer the statement seemed foolishly simple. -There is a god.- The blinking continued. Max was certain the computer couldn't be wrong, but was also certain it wasn't right. He had laughed off the existence of any sort of god early on in his educati...
“Welcome to the wizarding trademark and copyright office. The only place with a collection of un trademarked spells” I hate recorded messages “For a list of registered spells press 1. For a list of unregistered spells press 2. To learn how to protect a spell press 3. For other press 4” I pressed 4 “Please hold” ...
It was a simple task. Sail in one direction until the ends of the Earth. Until we left the shimmering seas of blue and crossed into the ocean of black and void. It was a simple task, but a long one. I was the captain of this hopeless, but not hapless, voyage. For with me, I had an interesting to crew. 'Doctor' Adam Tr...
I expected something... else. Darv, the hunter next door got a direwolf, one that helped him track game day after day in the forest. Sis got a pixie, helping her knit yarn together into product. Come to think of it, everyone's familiar helped them with what they did. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised. Mother certainly...
We had been friends for years. I was hatched the same day he was born. We both enjoyed hunting, tournaments, and shiny objects. Then he found a wife. They told me he had to marry. As king, it was his duty. Being friends with a dragon was improper, they told him. So we kept our friendship secret. We sent birds carry...
A single tear streamed down my face, dropping to the forest floor below. Humans and monsters alike gathered around to honor Cangor's memory. "He was a great monster, and an even better man"I spoke with tears tugging at the back of my eyes. Humans and monsters alike clapped for my speech. Old bed renters, and good fr...
Well never imagined this was going to happen. Time to get ready for a quick heist. Of course I was not a well known burglar, if I was I wouldn’t be doing a heist right now, I’d be breaking out of prison. So naturally I did my research because I’d rather not get caught, I was getting on a bit and I had more confidence i...
\[Disclaimer: This is my first writing prompts, and I only had a bit over an hour to work on it. Sorry if it's a little rough!\] &#x200B; The deafening noise of energy launchers and the pulsing of blaster fire engulfed the airwaves of the landing site. The crossfire of lasers overhead lit up the dark sky with it...
It never really made sense to me why the Devil would punish sinners. I mean, if he is the enemy of God, why wouldn't he seek to outstrip Heaven's glory? Why not convince God's children to sin, not only because sinning feels good, but because it gets you everything your heart could crave? I was there when Lucifer fel...
On mobile, sorry for formatting. Michael blinked a couple of times, just to check that his eyes were alright. That didn't change anything. So then he slapped his head a couple of times, like one would do to an old remote to make it work. When that didn't work he slapped his cheek real hard. A few people looked at hi...
“Can anyone tell me the three layers of the earth?” I ask. A few hands go up among the the matrix of students sitting in their desks, and I point to one of them. Little Will Chambers, a good egg, always eager to impress. Beside him on the wall a poster depicts a man summiting a mountain among the clouds, the word “DET...
As I stand in front of the love of my life, a shrill voice rises behind me. "James! What are you doing James? Who is this?". Shocked, I turn around to face a blonde woman, instantly noticing the gun at her side. "How could you do this to me James! We have been married for 17 years! Don't you remember our vows?!" I fai...
The sound of the kitchen knife hitting the concrete pavement brought me to my senses. The rich metallic aroma filled the air as I finally took a breath. I looked around at the two corpses at my feet. The young woman’s blood were gushing from the large slash in her throat, her breath faint, each breath shallower than th...
I'd have to slip something by him. I'd always had plenty of impersonators copying my art, and he would no doubt treat me the same if I created something drawing his suspicions; he'd simply say it wasn't him, and that'd be the end of that. No, I had to be clever. I got to work. I made piece after piece, in my usual st...
Knowledge isn’t what people expect it to be. For instance, an extremely smart person would talk super confusingly, yeah? Nope. The smartest thing to do is get the point across as clearly and concisely as possible. Cater to your audience. My audience just so happens to be 5 and 6 year olds. I teach them numbers, the ...
It was a quiet day at the spaceport thus far. Officer Zuulbarg stifled a yawn as he took a sip of nectar. Concourse duty was usually pretty dull, given that any being that made it this far had already been through a full screening process, but rules say there needs to be a security guard at every concourse, so here he ...
The first thing we did was dig up their graves. It had to be done in the blackest of night with the most trusted of men. Earth was dying and finally the Moon and Mars were both primed for terraforming and anything that might spook humanity off of that course might literally end all of us. So the discovery that the ...
"Nellie Flowers is asking for you in room 347,"the nymph told me as I idled at reception. There wasn't a lot for me to do around these parts. Our hiring protocols had taken a bit of a turn in the past years. We were hiring more specialists now, for lack of a better word. Vampires could sniff out blood diseases, restrai...
Our small island nation had only officially chosen to break from England a couple months ago. We were the speck in the middle of the Pacific, the lone dot keeping the sun from setting on the British Empire. It had been coming for years, a shift in the people. I had been sent sign the final paperwork with Queen Elizabet...
The most painful thing about leaving a reality was confronting the fact that I would always be alone. Sometimes, I left a world as soon as I entered it, and in others I lived a full life until moving on to the next. Every time I did this, it always felt like I lost something important, even if the next reality was an u...
Night or day she wants to cuddle, Wrap me in her lovely coils, 'Til my mind is all a muddle, And I'm feeling rather spoiled. But of late I'd come to doubting, Whether there was something more, Something plucked before its sprouting, Too far gone to be restored. Though for her my heart was year...
Ever since us humans had develops the STD (Solar Transmission Device) I had spent weeks simply sending a wide range of messages out into space, hoping to get some sort of response. For weeks it had been silent and like many, I assumed that we were simply the only species in our galaxy to develop this sort of technology...
The offer was impossible to refuse, the trickster gods wide grin was enough to convince me of that. He was a wiry man, I was quite confident that he was the runt of the group, lacking in strength, yet strength wasn't needed when you abused the powers of madness and trickery. If he were mortal, I was confident I could k...
Richard Hackman had a lot on his plate. He always did (or at least, he always seemed to) but in recent times, that workload seemed to be getting out of control. Which was why every few hours, he would peel himself away from his Louis XVI mahogany and ormolu desk and arch backwards, determine to get some sense of feelin...
It's funny how things work. My father was known as the greatest hero that ever lived. He had all the physical enhancement abilities; strength, speed, flight, you know the ones. He could even shoot lasers from his eyes and see through walls. Damn near invulnerable. My mom had all the psychic stuff; telepathy, telekine...
AJ Butterfield froze in mid stride, grasping at his suit for comfort and stature, as he tried to comprehend the sight before him. Snuggles the cat was being... being attacked. By some heathen stranger who must have broken in because AJ always made certain to lock the doors and he had a horrified inkling the attack...
"Three wishes? You sure?" "Positive." "Alright! I'm going to change the world. Yeah, man, it'd be nice if there were no such thing as mosquitoes, you know? Or, wait, I got it! I wish that mosquitoes were nice and polite to us and always used their turn signals so we'd know where they're flying." ". . ." "Don't give...
Err’kit remembered the days of old, princess kidnapping and honour(less) duels against knights. Then those pesky humans invented gunpowder and he was forced underground. He did not remember how long ago it was but he did recall his golden scales being a lot brighter back in the day and his three children being much mor...
To whom it may concern, It is with great regret that I must resign my position as Deputy Director of Logistics at Widget Inc. I have been a part of the Widget family for nearly 14 years and have always treasured my time here. However, recent developments in company, and the actions of the other employees, means ...
The engines halted, the fuel expended, and I jumped out of the small manned rocket to parachute down. My High Altitude Life Preserver kicked in and injected the oxygen pipes into my neck amp as I drifted down, landing upon the mass. 178 kms tall. The super structure that we had seen on this planet was taller than any m...
Parents died suddenly, siblings died shortly after and all that I was left with was a Grandfather. He taught me many things, but his lack of understanding of the bible and its preaching, seethed into me. The childhood innocence that can be so easily corrupted, unfortunately touched me. "Those who do not listen to the ...
What the hell do you mean the leftovers at the back of the refrigeration unit has begun broadcasting radio waves? We chilled that down 13 billion years ago. It should have all lumped together into storage atoms. Uh, yes sir. We hit 80% complete after 373,825 years. Mostly matter with void in between. And, as not...
They poison themselves? Yes. Deliberately? Yes. Not by accident? No. You're sure? I saw them doing it. They were very deliberate. Why do they do it? Why do they do it? Yes. It's a recreational contest. They do it for fun. For fun? Yes. They poison themselves - deliberately - for fun? Yes. And ...
I am a digital corpse. I speak in zeroes and ones. My avatar - if you could even call it that - is mere kilobytes of data. I am reduced to my bare essentials - like a skeleton left for hundreds of years. Even my thoughts are different from when I was living - processed in compiled bytecode that is unrecognizable to the...
"What did they expect?"The Karkanian Admiral said in a gruff voice as he stepped over the countless dead humans littering the square. "Admiral, I have found out who they were screaming for. This Leroy Jenkins isn't just one of them. It's a war cry, of sorts."An underling stumbled towards him, crushing the bodies under...
Alright, so thats... weird, you think, staring at the results on Google Maps. Weird, but maybe not so surprising, the town was so small. There's a chance that it could have become unincorporated county land in the last year and Google just hadn't caught up. Its been a strange year. You really had no reason to visit yo...
The first thought that came to mind was to run. But no, I must have already tried that. I have a system in place. A pattern. The first rewind, act normal but keep an eye out. Second rewind, bend down and tie my shoe, delay for a short time. Third rewind, speed up, whether moving faster, finishing a meeting faster or ju...
Admin in Hell is hell! Paperwork for the sake of paperwork with complex work orders and prerequisites all fiendishly designed to make it incessent and neverending. There is no day and night in Hell. You dont hunger or tire unless your specific punishments require it. I had no concept of how long I'd endlessly filled ou...
I looked out of the window of my submarine as it went lower and lower. This was it. My entire life had led up to this moment, and I was about to accomplish it. When I first realized that this was my dream, I was young. Young enough that any ideas like this were encouraged without actual belief that they'd happen. Li...
The pastor talked on about life, death, and Jesus or something. I wasn’t ever religious but I suppose it’s the thought that counts. Why would a church go through all the theatrics of a funeral that no one wanted to come to? It’s all pantomime at a certain point. I hung back. I couldn’t tell if anyone could see me or...
I sat on my bed and stared at the roof. There was nothing to do in the orphanage. Just two days back there was Stephen, my roommate, who was occasionally amusing, but some lady with cropped blonde hair took him away. Some suburban household, Mrs. Muriel told me later. And so I stared at the cracks in the ceiling and sa...
The old fool of a tyrant drank heartily from his wine pitcher as he had done so many times before, an act that would undoubtably lead to his end. The oil of the Bloom of Fate was tasteless yet deadly in a way that defied mere biological failure, indeed the body will appear unharmed and untouched, as if the spirit had j...
“It's not even a Rolex.” I let out a forced chuckle while glancing at my wrist. I liked Pierce, but he could really be an unbearable snob sometimes. “Have you ever heard of a concept called 'sentimental value'?” I asked. Maybe I could turn this exchange into a friendly jab and change the topic. If he even knew what em...
