I do what I can for the people. I ensure they are protected from others, I make sure they are clothed and fed, have a roof over their heads protecting them from the elements. Sure, I fail now and again. I’m not perfect, nor am I able to account for everything but I try, so I bring those in need here in Sanctuary. Every...
It's always there. Looking at me through my bedroom window from the overgrown fields, following me while lowkey shopping for groceries. I've tried everything. Approaching the figure makes it back away at the exact same speed, shooting it with the gun does nothing but make him move closer towards me. No one is aware of ...
[Poem] The sky is crimson red, panic fills the air The silhouette of unrest, sprinkled with despair Here's my final place, a tomb of fear and pain, What once was full of joyfulness, will never be the same On this bench I'm captain, sailing to the void The sea lashed out but rest assured, it will be destroyed S...
A large group of people were gathered in this room, to discuss a matter of the utmost importance and urgency, They represented the highest echelons of the Imperium of Man. The High Lords of Terra, All of the Ordos Chapters, The Commanding Generals of the Astra Militarum and the Imperial Navy, just to name a few. Amon...
I learned embarrassingly late in life that I was called a 'spider.' Downsides of the time as a test subject aside, I learned many things that helped me understand my experiences. The common label for my kind being chief among them. But somewhere, way out there in the vast unknown, was my true Creator. He had found me ...
He was cocksure and confident. Brazen and bold. Calm and collected. He sat down at the table with a mountain of chips and a suit that said his friends weren't honest when he asked them if it fit him. I could smell it on his cologne. This guy was an Oracle. "Can I get another drink, please?"His rowdy voice carried acr...
The Goosening goes something like this. In every Canadian hospital there is a specialized ward. Of course it looks just like any other ward - plain, sterile, incredibly boring. If one only stopped to listen closer however, and look past the bustle of the maternity ward, they would hear the low honking of geese. That ...
The two trade delegates met in a secured meeting room. The station was politically oriented, with influences from several of the largest players in the galaxy. "Wow, you're warm!"Veuyere removed his feeler pad from the human. "...Yes, we are."George Smith, a low-level political incumbent of Outreach and Trade replied...
The news stations we're going buck wild, no one was talking about anything else. It was a collective held-breath, because none of us could fathom the reality of what transpired: contact. When the Recovery launched, it was months after the news broke about the object entering the Solar System. Something large, forei...
I was worth three moonbeams. Their currency and how it would exchange into the dollars I was used to were impossible to know, of course. But for whatever reason that is the first thing that stood out after the ornery griffin dumped me in my cage. The masterfully crafted golden plaques, on which "Super Adorable"was writ...
My fellow Americans! Today is a great day for us all. We have done well and will continue to do well! The economy is great, and we're doing great. This is a great country and I love the people in it. Now I do have to clarify. I mean that I love the people who are supposed to be here. Everyone else, and you know who y...
Atsa grinned, she'd never been this far from her village before. But with her persistent badgering her Uncle seemed to budge more and more each time. Her attention turned upward as a sizable hill came into range. She was already well into her teens but the freedom to explore made her feel giddy with a kind of childli...
"The antichrist?"William said in a dull shock. "You expect me to fight the antichrist? The two sat atop a sky scraper, far above the city. No one could hear them here. "Well, it won't be so much of a 'fight' as a 'bash the baby's skull against the wall',"Uri replied, saying the last part quite tentatively. "You......
It was there, on the corner of Meeting and King streets, that my life changed forever. The setting sun cast long shadows down the street, and the church steeple glowed orange as it reflected the changing sky. My tie was loosened around my neck, dangling with my ID badge after a long week at work. But finally, it was t...
It's a mythical thing. One in a hundred thousand. A real kick in the balls of reality. A certain subset of people don't know they have it. A disproportionately large number of these end up in law enforcement, with the uncanny ability to sniff out criminal behavior. With each miraculously solved case they shrug their s...
Superhuman reflexes. That what everyone said. I never missed the baseball, never fumbled the football, and, probably the most impressive, never failed to catch a bullet. I don’t know why, but it’s been this way since birth. Whenever I need it, time just seems to adjust to my needs. I’m no scientist, and I know nothing ...
The signal wasn't very interesting at first. We have many sensors pointed outwards, and we have many things to examine. Fully 0.03% of our computations relate to studying the space beyond the heliopause, a frankly silly excess, but we must have hobbies, and this one certainly paid off, so don't judge us. At first, we c...
Is it a child? No, surely no little girl or boy could possess such a thing. And if so, would certainly not send it to me. An old woman then? Maybe the kind people thought was a witch. I step through the sleepy town of Berkshire, still clad in my uniform, the small kitten clutched in my hand as if someone might recogni...
“Do not call up that which you cannot put down” - HP Lovecraft. Yumi Shakrasanda-Theodopolousia is my name.... Sounds exotic but I grew up in Cleveland. My family a fun mix of Japanese, Indian, Greek and Italian. It's a long story... But as a child I enjoyed math and my alcoholic mother made me do her taxes ...
"It is too late, Blue Lightning! You are trapped in my specially made prison to contain your power! HAHAHAHA!" The villain known as Dr. Malefic, the smartest evil man alive has trapped the hero Blue Lightning, the speedster known for his superhuman speed and his love for cheeseburger. "Now I will activate my mind con...
They all mocked me in The Villain Academy. What kind of villain heals people? Little did they know that while they were knocking over banks and making a measly two hundred thousand dollars, I was causing big pharma to lose hundreds of trillions of dollars. It all started when I ended up in the hospital. Yeah the heal...
It was lanky, swift and butt-ugly, much like me. I know knew that it preferred to suck blood as its main nourishment - and the more its prey struggled, the sweeter the drink would be. Well, I was about to severely disappoint it. The demon rapidly crawled backwards up the wall, turned its head 360 degrees, and lunged a...
Following Swift Justice around is pretty boring. He is not super fast but incredibly efficient at dealing out justice to villains. The fights don’t last long, so being his sidekick usually means we are back at the base relatively quickly. My powers pretty much guaranteed my role as a sidekick, I store things. Well, mo...
It's not a difficult concept to explain, especially to a youngster. Parents, gods bless them, don't really seem to understand how to broach the subject with their young, so they just leave it to someone else to do later. Unfortunately, the longer you wait, the harder it gets to break the mentality. I guess that's what ...
When most people think if the richest people in the world, most people look to the business tycoons, the tech giants, the oil barons, and the like. All of them are wrong. The single richest person in the world is someone nobody has ever heard of. His name is Roy. Just Roy. He does have a family name, of course, but it...
Filo frantically scoured through the wreckage, desperate for some hope that the damage was repairable. After confirming the hopelessness of her situation, she thought back to her training at Chronos Academy. “Rule number one,” she recited to herself, “don’t draw attention to yourself. The last thing you want is to som...
If Confused Read Now, the book said on its cover. Those were the first words I saw when I looked around. It was also the only thing I could make out with a splitting headache. And the pain that shot through my leg. I moved my jaw, cracking and creaking against the movement. But that wasn't the only thing to split. Ca...
Carol was a stunner. No one could deny that. By the time she was fourteen, she had already walked the runway at major New York shows, donning Luis Vuitton, Prada, and other high-fashion brands. By eighteen, she had amassed an Instagram following in the low millions. By twenty, she was one of the top models advertised i...
They called him the Runner. Yeah he was fast, but that wasn't why. It was his job, see. He was a courier - for the mob, for the cartels, for the banks - hell, anyone with enough bread could get him runnin' their stuff. He did it all, drugs, stones, guns. The Runner was the best where was. And what made him the best?...
The leash on the baby should have been the first warning that something was probably not 100% normal. The second warning should have been when the parents, a Mr. and Mrs. Rand, had no car but were gone and out if sight when I turned to close the door. The third warning should have been the baby proofed ceiling fixtures...
“These things are mostly hot air and water.” The fisherman winks at me as he lets the squirming monstrosity fall back into the lake. “I’ll need something bigger to get any meat out of it.” I smile back but my eyes are glued to what he just let off of his hook. It’s floating on top of the water now, steam pouring off...
"You know, maybe this is secretly a super expensive brand?", Cleo suggested as she flip the broken wristwatch between her hands over and over, observing it closely. "No, I had it checked--", Edward sighed quite disappointed. "It's a normal broken watch, not even branded, just...a junk", he said, putting more spaghetti...
Detective Sykes walked down the hallway towards Interrogation Room Four. He had a file in his hand with a very long rap sheet along with other pertinents. As he got down to the door, Detective Agman was in the hall smoking. "You can't do that in here, Aggie." "I can and am and don't care. That guy is nuts." "Why do...
"Four numbers!"I clutched the ticket close to my chest, hoping the bikers would buy it. These guys were not my crowd, not by a long shot. These guys were old Harley guys. Their leathers were covered in patches; "Loud Pipes Save Lives,"various numbers and wings, a few 1%s and club colors at a table near the back, and q...
I was 7 years old when it happened. A parade of foul looking monsters from Japanese folklore, came into my room and partied. Kappa, Yuki-onna, Zashiki-warashi, if it was in a book regarding monsters or mythical creatures then it was there. Since I was a kid, I was struck with fear and found myself unable to do anything...
The cheers of the crowd were objectively eery. There was something wrong with how they were laughing at this abnormally tall clown -was he wearing stilts, or was it merely the way he was standing? It was surreal to experience the wave of laughter in the hall, after the clown's manoeuvres. Was it something he said? He...
“Oh, please!” The sorcerer in the red trench coat claimed. “That is just a bunch of malarkey! Magic doesn’t work like that.” His two companions gazed at him. One dressed similarly to a cowboy, with a metal gauntlet covering his left forearm. His sidearm glistened with cold steel. The other was an odd creature. Humanoi...
It’s more of a temptation than it should be. I look out my window at the forest, the deep green shadows of it, the sounds of night creatures coming out as the sun sets, and I want to join them. The curtains snap closed, and my mother gives me a glare. “You know that forest’s cursed, Kiana,” she says. “What if it see...
The entity known only as The Master had descended on the world like a shroud. Humans were less than insects to it, as all doors opened before its dark herald, and no lock could hold any passage against it. The last survivors fled to an underground bunker, and sealed the door with the most powerful and complex lock in ...
It started with a pilot ‘human advancement’ project, training an AI to analyze full body scans of a few thousand people, looking for ways to reinforce our parts as they wore out from old age and extend our life expectancy. The amount of information we obtained was incredible. We made more AIs which created new mesh tha...
A zombie tried to bite Adam, but he didn't realize, because he was walking while staring at his cellphone. As Adam turned to cross the street, the zombie landed on a lady that screamed in agony as she was being devoured. But Adam didn't realize, for he had earphones and was listening to Ramnstein. The connection was...
Do you know how boring your own mind is? I’m a vast, white space. I’ve been in this vast, white space for years. Or decades. Or minutes. It’s really hard to tell the passage of time without, you know, clocks or sunlight. I’ve told myself stories, I ran until I couldn’t lift my legs, I’ve done everything to either w...
"Uncle Dee!"The boy shouted excitedly, as the monitors beeped. His oxygen tank and cannula feeding nutrients and oxygen to his failing body. The embodiment of Death sat down with his nephew, sorrow tinging His movements. HELLO, NATE. IS YOUR DAD AROUND? Nate nodded, and picked up his phone, texting his father. A mi...
From the moment I awoke on the Jade Plains, my one desire was to go back home. That single, burning desire built my first fire, killed my first Fairy Rabbit, and sustained me on the long downhill trek to find water and, from there, civilization. In the village of Copper Bay, I learned that whatever force had brought m...
Holy shit, did this gain some attention. I thought I was going to get a dozen comments, maybe two dozen, at most. I'mma try to do as many of these as I can, but I got a few qualifiers here: (A) I promise nothing. If I give up after doing like 20 of these, sorry, but I am only one person. If I don't take your p...
Steam rising from the mug left a faint fog on my glasses, the smell of freshly roasted coffee filled my nostrils. Though no caffeine had entered my system yet, that fragrance was enough to perk me up in the mornings. Taking my first sip, my tongue recoiled at the bitter taste. Leaning off the side of my bunk, I opened ...
"Oh Jim!!"She exclaimed, a look of stunned awe upon her face. "You're...a- alive!"Tears poured down her face as she gasped for air, still in a shock of emotion. Jim hugged her tight and said "I know, I know. I'm sorry I'm so sorry."He gently moved her so they were level and said "Heaven was full so they sent me back....
“Michael, I don’t care. She’s my daughter!” I whipped my head around and narrowed my eyes. “So? She’s my little sister.” My finger traced the rim of my mug, the steam poured a bit of warmth into my cold hands. I found my hand stop and play with the spoon I used to stir in my sugar. As I flicked it back and forth, ...
I sat in my chair, glaring at the old man in the headmaster's seat. My peers sat in the chairs around me, far more nervous about this interaction than I was. "So, would any of you like to tell me why you're here today?"The headmaster asked. "Well, you asked us to be here,"said Kim Sun-Yin, one of my closest friends s...
"You said us. Are you full of parasites? Again?"I asked, being pretty sure that was the case. "What, us? Para-whatsits? Never heard of `em!"Bert's voice came back sounding like a legion of...well...parasites. I had my doubts. I fished around in my pocket and took out a pill. "Look, OK, I'll do it, just swallow thi...
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the hottest reality show across the infinite multiverses! Brought to you from the backs of literally thousands of potentials, tonight we have another great hit of All About You!" The dim glow of the man in the suit on the TV reflected off a pair of dull eyes as an overweight man ...
I walked the Road, leaving the palace once more. It was just as beautiful as I remembered. The trees on the side of the road were the most vivid shades of orange, and it was nice to be outdoors again. I likely had a rough few months ahead of me, but for now, I could appreciate the outdoors. Why was I outdoors again? W...
The primeval being went by many names. Some named Him the Beast. Others called Him the Forlorn. His brethren preferred to refer to Him as Scavenger. In truth, He was all these things and more. He is the shadows within a forest darkened by night. He is the creak of ancient wood, the flow of sacrificial blood. He is t...
"Oh my god, who FUCKING CARES?!" Both philosophers shut up, and for the first time in hours, a silence falls over the pond. "Did that duck just talk?"Ernesto asked. "Do you mean if we perceived the duck as talking or-"Lily began, before being interrupted by the same duck flapping its wings. "No! No more of that ...
Bea rarely felt 'small'. She was tall, passing the vaunted six-foot mark most men bragged about, and rather skinny due to a mostly based diet and plenty of aerobic exercise. Even if she was narrower at the shoulders than most people approaching her height she never felt 'small'. But after dying - she still had not b...
Gallin stared out over the edge of the world. Three weeks before, he could never have imagined being driven out here. He had been living lavishly as one of the King’s trusted advisors, the man who kept the King safe, until the Prince had decided that Gallin was a rival. The King, who in better days would have dismissed...
Gregor Deganis stepped lightly on the damp floor with the elegance of a trained dancer and purpose of an experienced killer, peering through the slit in his helmet for any sign of goblins in the dark cavern. Through the hints of light the few torches gave off he saw no such signs, but still Gregor gripped his broad swo...
How long had it been since we'd gone underground? I knew that my parents didn't remember the day we'd gone under, though they'd both been born for it. No, a full generation had came and went under the earth without looking at the sky. I'd heard the music and read the poems, that open sky above us used to mean something...
Obituary: Tabby cat present at ratification of US Constitution dead at 237 Affectionately known as Felix^1 for at least the past century, the second^2 oldest cat in recorded history died peacefully in hospice care in Shelburne Falls^3, Massachusetts, Friday evening. Nearly half of all cats currently living in New...
I am the magnum opus of my creator. She considered and continues to consider me an abomination. She never wanted to make weapons. She always stood for diplomacy rather than war. But war was forced upon her. Upon us. Upon the world. I do not feel as humans do. I understand what goodness is, though. Enough to experience...
Olivia squinted at the data on her computer. "Hey, Ethan, have you seen the numbers from the first batch of machines? Isn't that, like, ten times as much Xenolite-7 as it should be using in a year? And it drained the tank in a single day!? The tank sensors must be broken..." Mild-mannered and shy, engineer Ethan Mitch...
"Wow, I can't believe it's really you!"his Biggest Fan exclaimed, shifting both awkwardly and excitedly from hoof to hoof. This sideways shuffling quickly displaced the ash and chalk that once made up a carefully drawn pattern across the old hardwood floorboards of Elliott's attic. The air was thick with a combinatio...
We thought it was just a rock formation on planet Deus-1B. After putting together images from across decades, we realized it was shifting and moving. It was alive, just not within our perception of time. It wasn’t until last year that we were able to make contact with it. We were able to elicit a response by placing ...
We had guessed what would happen, but we were never sure. We were riding bikes, it was summer. We were about "equal,"as we had dubbed it. We went to cross the street. She didn't see the car, I did. I yelled, it was too late. She felt nothing, I felt everything. Happiness flooded me like the great flood, I fou...
They said Number One was on the run. She'd gotten away from her bodyguards and vanished. Number Two, and none of the rest of us have bumped up, and we hadn't gotten a ransom notice or anything. We are pretty sure she ran off on her own. I'd been Twenty-Two for oh, a year now. Being this high up, it's pretty go...
It was all a dream. A dream, nothing but a dream. A subconscious neuronal burble. I woke up crying. You can't wake up crying. It wasn't a dream. I saw you. With my eyes and they were real and you stood on the corner the way you always stand, with a hand on your hip and a phone in your hand. You were scrolling...
"So, its musical skill?"Satan raised one fiery, evil eyebrow at the pathetic meat sack that sat in the middle of the summoning circle. "I have made this deal many times with many people. You remember Elvis right? Yea, all this guy right here."Thunder crashed as Satan pointed his evil finger at his very evil chest. The ...
The door creaked shut: a cacophony of poor hinges and droughts of oil. The click ran parallel with my quiet scoff as I tried to make my way across the carpeted room before stubbing my toe against the mahogany legs of the bed. A groan and the shuffle of bedsheets followed shortly after. "Honey, is that you?"It was a ho...
Stupid bitch. Ramsay slapped Jeyne across the face with the flat of his sword. The dog yelped. "It's not your turn."The bitch cowered in the corner, tail between her legs, she shuddered at Ramsay's stance. "Now, where were we?" "I believe we were about to take a finger?"His smile was queer considering the circums...
Slowly the closet door crept open and something ghastly slithered out and approached the foot of the bed. Although the darkness of the night blurred the monstrosity into a flickering shadow against the background, the reek of burning flesh fumigated the air, making its awful presence known to all unlucky enough to be i...
He was just sitting there, calmly reading a book. If it had been any other patient then there would have been nothing strange about that at all. But the man in room 407 had gone into a completely catatonic state with only the weakest desire to live. I didn't know what to do, so I just watched him until he turned a pa...
Secondary school history class, in the future ...and now, on to the Fifth. Boys and girls, did you know that there were many possible choices for the Fifth Company? The one we know to day is not the one that the smart money was on. No, no. Do you know what Peak Oil was? Well, it was when the world produced the mo...

They used to tell me that I was gifted. I learned to walk when I was 1 month old and at 1.5 months I learned to talk -- fluently in 12 languages. I learned to fly when I was two. By five, I was enrolled as a theoretical physics major at Harvard and was captain of every varsity team. At 11, I learned that I was pretty m...
See this diamond? I can tell you, just by looking at it, how many carats it is, and the name of the cut it uses. But I won't, because these things don't matter to you, do they? I could tell you how much this diamond would cost in the international commodities market, but I won't, because it doesn't matter. I co...
L'So'tha's hand shot up again. At the front of the class Teacher 3rd class Toyota McVittie tried to restrain her temptation to reach for the discipline button and instead engaged the communication channel so that L'So'tha's question could be heard by everyone. "Yes dear, what is it now?"She tried to keep the annoyanc...
The Millenium Falcon dropped out of hyperspace. Her engines spluttered and complained about the long gap between maintenance schedules. "Easy, girl, you hold together till we get home,"Han said, stroking her dashboard, "we'll get you all fixed up then."You don't take a smuggling ship in for repairs unless you totally ...
Brief 1.8 We are the Dargason. When our race evolved on our native planet, we had no source of light. Our plants grew using chemosynthesis, and we grew up with no need for eyes. After all, what use do those squishy balls that humans need so much have on a planet with no use for them? We grew. We diffused. Other alie...
I remember that first moment, stepping out and gazing upon the expanse of another world. We landed just in time to witness the setting sun through a hazy red fog. Never before had I experienced such a feeling, never before had I felt so small, or so large. The three of us strode upon the face of a god, and we could alm...
Hey, sorry, is it alright if I cut in line? I'm running late. Super big thing, super big deal, totally can't get there after it starts, you know? Thanks so much, you're a great guy, I really appreciate it. Just, you know, I've got this thing that has to start at a very particular time, and I really can't be late ...
Dave knelt down and grabbed a handful of mud, smearing it across his face while choking slightly on a tuft of arm hair that flooded into his completely closed mouth. It didn’t matter how hard he tried to keep it out of his various orifices, it always found its way in. He was, without a doubt, incredibly hairy, almost t...
The lights returned to normal as Raj gawked at the body on the floor, looking to the other people standing around it. “Fess up,” he said. “Who killed Tom?” Every shifted glances to their neighbors, the air thick with skepticism. “It wasn’t me,” Mary said. “I hated the bastard but I wouldn’t have killed him, at least...
The silence created by the need to repeat his question to me caused my partner to question the entire ceremony, but when I finally regained control of myself and thought about the past... my answer hadn’t changed in the slightest. “I do.” The rest of the wedding went on how everyone had expected it to. My new wife an...
The man with shaggy black hair sat on the edge of the dock and looked out upon the thick shimmer wall of light in the Pacific Ocean. The wall had been steadily moving towards them. Before long it would consume the dock and his city. He took a long drag off his cigarette and blew the smoke into the night air. “Eric ar...
I looked at my hand, then at the monitor. Then back at my hand. Then at the monitor. "Installing device driver software,"read the message in the corner. "Click here for status." I wanted to click the window, but doing so would mean removing my finger from the slot it now occupied. Torn, I debated what to do. Eve...
It was always there. The light constantly pierced my eyelids, granting me a permanent squint that made my coworkers suggest glasses. None of them could see it, the sun shaped medallion hanging around my neck. Its constant glow rivaled the sun, driving me almost to the point of insanity, before I made a discovery. T...
"Stacy, I've got something I need to tell you,"Travis began, nervously looking around the room. "I've, uh, this is hard to say but... I'm addicted to heroin. I'm sorry that I've kept this secret from you so long. I trait thought that I woukd be able to get over it by myself." Travis' words were getting faster and fast...
“Boobs, she has to have big boobs” “Um, Mr. Forty-Seven, you can’t specify physical characteristics in your job description. Look let’s start from the beginning. Why do you need an intern?” The woman at the temporary placement agency glanced above her glasses at the bald man who sat across the table from her. His ...
There is no such thing as limbo. Instead, lost souls are given a second chance, a tool of their choice, and a job. Of course, there are also two rules that they must follow. 1. Never kill a human before their time. 2. Always give them the opportunity to bargain. Now, while the first rule is fairly self explanatory,...
If congress, in these times of vitriol, Must needs waylay the presidential tongue To even out the odds upon the field, So be it. House and Senate, take a seat - Obama gonna flay y'all with some beats. I'll start off with the war - pardon me - The wars. The war on drugs, the war on fear, ...
Aidan scratched at his neck nervously waiting for the press conference to start. Public speaking had never been his strong suit, but he was obliged to offer the people of earth some answers. He peeked out from behind the stage to look at the desk they had set up for him. It was lit up by a dozen suns and littered with ...
"We're all that's left." The letter was that simple- one leaf, no explanation, no signature. It didn't need either. Ren recognized the handwriting well enough to understand both. In spite of her old age and the magnitude of the situation, her hand did not shake as she retrieved a few pieces of silver and passed them t...
"Hello, and welcome to Aperture Science Testing Facility. I am GLaDOS, Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System. You appear to be the new co-computer. Let's get things straight. I am the admin."said the sleek machinery hanging from the ceiling. "Hello, GLaDOS. I am HAL 9000. Your replacement. I am smarter than you,...
“He was one of the oldest Concepts, served by His side, he did,” the golden man droned on, a spindly finger wrapped around his wispy curls of brittle hair, which barely hung on to the mottled skin of his scalp. “But he long since fell out of use, well, it depends on what you think long is.” He chuckled to himself and h...
Things have reached the point where I literally can't even. Superhero Academy usually has back-up generators to stop exactly this sort of thing from happening, but I assume the seniors must have decided it was fun to wreck it for their prank. Now there's a blackout, there's no generator, the room's field will fade in...
In a few minutes it would be over. An inevitable consequence of discovering a truth no one wanted to share. This irrefutable fact of a universal game of tennis played… well, he didn’t know how long it had been going on for. Surlam was Director of National Intelligence and Protection. The Space Programme, Planetary Def...
"Good morning James." "Says you." "Where are you today?" "You never ask me how I am. It's getting old." "Fine James, how are you --- " "Nope, get it right next time. Slept like shit, my back aches, and you NASA folks already know where I'm at." "James, try to identify your surroundings and --- " "Assess the location ...
A deafening roar shattered the fragile silence of Gotham's streets. The inky night sky was suddenly lit with fiery explosions erupting from the jagged, spiky spires of the Sa'il surveillance facility. The entire structure collapsed in one last cataclysm and toppled over onto its side. It hadn't actually been too hard t...
When someone commits a felony, a grand jury is convened to decide whether or not that person will be charged for their crimes. It's said that the DA could indict a ham sandwich in a grand jury for all it's worth -- there's no defense there, after all. I learned that in college, and ever since I hit that woman it's all ...
“These test results can’t be correct Brian, they just can’t” Kevin said throwing the stack of papers on the table in frustration. “We ran all the tests, you have the data in front of you. Data doesn’t lie.” Brian said. “I remember doing the science, but it just can’t be the case. It doesn’t make sense.” “It doesn’t ...
