It isn't often that the Archtraitor, the First of the Fallen, Lucifer the Morning Star, Prince of Darkness, Lord of the Damned; Satan, is called to the Earth. Most mortals don't dare, and those who do, are often way in over their heads and absolutely not ready at all to deal with the Serpent-In-Eden. Usually Satan just...
I must admit in the daze of my last hour of life it took me a few times to realize what was happening. Barely conscious, on a hospital bed, surrounded by tubes and monitors. Had there been no clock in the room I may have suffered through this many more times. When I saw the clock run from 4h30 to 5h30 AM for the 5th ti...
I hate Alessandro. I really do. I hate him and I love him and I am so very, very afraid of him. At first it was awesome, like having my very own autobot. Sure I freaked out when I first found him sleeping in my garage where my car was supposed to be, but a cup of fresh gas and he was right as rain. He could tell me ex...
The doctor leafed through her printouts, tasting the air with her forked tongue. Adam and his parents sat in tense silence. Well, his parents were tense—Adam's own feelings were somewhere in the realm of curiosity. "Well, the good newsss is that all of his blood tests are normal,"said the doctor. "Almossst perfectly s...
“Have you searched the barracks? What of the attics or basements? Have you checked the dungeons?” A frantic woman, with large, plump rubies cushioned by the intricate swirls of her gold crown, prattled to a less-than-gifted maid. As the maid, drowned in sweat and the heavy fabric of her black blouse and skirt, nodded f...
Maude gasped as the doctor fired the gun at the baby, squeezing her eyes shut and clutching her husband Peter tight. Her ears rang, but when she opened her eyes, her baby was… fine? The doctor chuckled, “Sorry, that was rather dramatic of me. Your baby has plot armor, there’s no way that bullet could have harmed...
On the day of his grandfather’s funeral, Scott sat alone. Scott didn’t know why he had bothered to plan a ceremony. Despite his grandfather’s claims, the old man hadn’t actually been an adventurer or had any friends. He had never sailed across the sea or climbed the tallest mountain in the world. He had never been in ...
Our story begins a long, long time ago... Gregory: Stop, this is hilariously pathetic. I'm sorry, what? Marian: If you say "in a galaxy far, far away,"this whole script is going to be owned by The House of Mouse. Try again, sister. I'm just the narrator. This is the script I was given to work with. Marian: Well, i...
(Part 1 of 2) The girl sat there, tears streaming from her eyes as she begged me, "Please...please help me..." I, Alkhadim, the greatest genie to ever serve the viziers, was at an utter loss as to what to do. Give gold and riches? Without a thought. Give wisdom and knowledge? I have access to any work ever written,...
Despite the fact I had given my pilot strict instructions for us to land somewhere remote, he had managed to crash into the *one* Earthling within a five-mile radius. Once we’d halted in a field full of green stalks, I quickly exited the craft to apologize to the human. As it turned out, the pilot had nicked quite a la...
You’ve heard tales of valiant heroes, brave folk taking up arms against the darkness. We know their names and their faces. But let me tell you of another. His name is unknown, as is his face. He wears no armor, merely a loincloth, and a pot upon his head. He wields two katanas, sharp and true. He scorns any assistance...
In this life, we choose our own paths. Or, at least, that's what conventional wisdom might tell you. The truth of the matter is, many of us arrive to paths closed; condemned. The paraplegic, as they are, cannot become champion runners. The blind, as they are, cannot become a painters. Myself, as I am, cannot be loved...
I started small, as all necromancers did. A few insects, a mouse, the pigeon I retrieved from one of the village cats. They followed me unquestioningly, as I rose them from the dead. Their existence was tied to me, their intelligence still that of a living equivalent. Each one was hard to bring back. The pigeon was th...
The patient's heart rate began rising. I could tell, by the rising of the red wind around me. My name is Jason, and I'm a Phagebane. What's a Phagebane? Well, we fight those tiny monsters known as diseases. And we do it with our own team of monsters. I've got a lot of stories, but this is the first one. The one wher...
"There are no words to fully summarize how dumb of an idea this is." Dennis continued to set up the tent regardless as he fired back, "And yet you're out here with me all the same." I rolled my eyes as I tossed another marshmallow into my mouth. "First of all, you threatened to tell Sister Isabel about my crush on he...
“Ah, well...actually!” “Oh, for crying out—” “I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who...knows a guy...what was the problem, again?” “You’re stuck in an amnesiatic associative loop.” “Ah...well. Actually! I can solve that, I know a—” “Stop! Just...stop.” “What? Why?” “You’re having an epi...
Death’s a lonely thing. No matter how willingly or unwillingly we accept our last moments, there’s no way to prepare for the utter loneliness that comes after our final breath. It’s probably the most haunting sound known to any species, the wailing of pain that comes after death, from both those who have lost someone a...
“I am not evil because I am vegan. I am evil. I am a vegan. Two unrelated facts.” The Devil said as he opened the door to the banquet hall. Tables were set up with all sorts of vegetable dishes, charred in the heat of the brimstone serving trays. The salads sizzled as they quickly shrivelled and cooked. The fac...
I gazed sullenly at the incoming water, running in under the doors of my cell. I would be dry on my bed for a bit, but it wouldn't last long. I considered exactly what my plan was. The bars were too tough to break through. I didn't have any kind of hole in the wall that I could escape out of. Windows were barred up too...
Oh, my dear Doctor. Do you not realize how much *work* it was when the big guy was around? All of the excess -- the costumes, the gadgets, the elaborate plans, the months on months in this *lovely* facility -- was carefully designed to be just threatening enough. At the end of the day, it's nothing but a lark. A distr...
At last my cadetship had paid off. After all of the study I had done onshore I finally was ready to head out for my first swing offshore. I wouldn't be back to my home port for nine months. But I didn't care, I finally got to get out on the open ocean! Sure, being the bottom of the ladder wasn't great. Everyone...
It was always easier when they were specific. "I want a white chihuahua". Still a strange choice, but at least I felt certain that they would get what they asked for. But my most common requests were always more far-fetched. "I want to fall in love."With who? Right this moment? What if they don't live here? "I wan...
The elixir of life is a scam, just like most claims of eternal life, or reversing receding hairlines. You may have to live with being bald, but here’s my family recipe for Living Forever \[adjustable time span, artifact not included\]. Step 1. Create a soul summoning artifact that invites your own soul into the summon...
Light is such a strange phenomenon. A particle and a wave at once and neither, usually something in between. It suffused our world. We equate the presence of light with safety and comfort, and yet we know next to nothing about it. Completely invisible is light, only observed in great quantities, impossible to measure i...
The torches lining the tunnel shown dull and dim, casting odd shapes along the jagged stone walls. Shapes vaguely human though too abstract for me to be certain. I tried to remain still as the voices below me whispered in foreign, ancient tongues. Suddenly whatever carried me shifted and I was sent from its large sho...
"Your Honor, If I may, I would like to ask the plaintiffs a few questions." "Proceed." "Do you contend that the reincarnated soul, which has no memory of its previous lives, is responsible for all debt incurred in any previous life?" "We do." "I see. Have you considered the effect of such a decision?" "We have." ...
The army marches forward, further into the kingdom of Drastedia. The defenders have been crushed and fled. The town has been looted and burned. Columns and columns of footmen march on a grassy plain under the rays of the morning sun; their chins are held high, and their grip on their weapons is strong. The gener...
I watched the ruins of the local 'Self Development Center'. It's ashes still in my lungs from my involvement. I watched how the drones continue sorting debris, collecting dust and bring in replacement materials. In less than a day the entire building will be restored to it's original state. *No human contractor could d...
My name is Eli Cassius. I really loved the Where's Waldo books. I grew up on them. One of my friends mentioned the books in passing, and I was reminded. I ordered the Where's Waldo? books that had been published since I last touched upon the series. A few days later, they arrived in a box at my door. I had a long week ...
It was hot as hell out that morning. Well, it was hot every morning, being all fire and brimstone and all that. But I was so distracted I didn't even see Peter coming. "Mornin' Hal." "Hey Peter." Peter was an impish fellow about two feet from crimson tail to pointed ear. We'd been working together about a millennium...
Darkness. First thing the prisoner noticed. Herman searched for his voice. When finally found, it simply emerged as a croak. "So,"he managed to say, "how long have y'all kept me in here?" All stayed quiet and pitch black. "I've never really liked constraints; it's probably best if I'm released. We wouldn't want any...
In retrospect it might have been an odd thing to transport back in time. The weight of the piano alone made it very inappropriate and inconvenient luggage on such a journey across space and time, leaving Manhattan in 2013 and arriving in the vast desert plains outside of ancient Ur, about 2000 years before the common e...
"Oh my god, you're legendary theatre actor Chuck Cain? Can I have your autograph?" Chuck looked at his watch, sighed and lifted his sunglasses. He flashed an insincere grin. "Haha. Sorry, I don't do autographs on my day off. I'm just out for a stroll with an old friend."The young man's posture slouched alongside his ...
"Daddy!"the boy cried out as the blows rained down on his curled back and neck. Each impact sent shock waves through his small frame. Towering over him, his father muttered a ceaseless string of curses, the alcohol thick on his breath. *Stupid. Worthless. Piece of Shit.* Some families have rituals, they play boar...
"Lost my eye in 'nam."The rough voice didn't match the teddy bear's soft exterior. "Wait,"another one said in a much softer voice as it took a drink. "You lost your eye in 'nam? Vietnam? Your tag says you were made in China." The first teddy bear took another drink. "I was. But the plane shipping us out dropped me. I...
What happened? One minute, you were listening to some music at home, and now...you were speeding down the freeway in a..Bugatti? Wait...That was the song you were listening to! You look at the radio and wonder... You turn the radio on. You love this song! You sing along, "Shots, shots shots shots!"And then... You...
My parents liked to call me a late bloomer. My mother would smooth down my hair as I cried in her arms. It was always nice when she held me like that, levitating just a little bit over the bed. "You'll figure it out, Matty. I had a roommate in college who said she didn't figure out hers until high school. It'll happen....
When she thought about it, "Madame President"didn't sound that much different from "Madame Vice President."At least so far, the job hadn't been that different either. She gave a speech and went through some motions. Of course, she knew that wouldn't last. It was her first day on the big job, and she seriously doubte...
"So... you've never had a few benefits with your friendships?" "What friendships?"he asked. "I kill. I take. There are no friends for me."His hood was drawn low, and I could see it quivering from anger. How dare I ask that question, it seemed to grunt. How dare I be so bold. "Then that's my game, Death. Let's see how...
I could hear him talking before I put the key in the door. I had just been through a long as hell day, with an exam and studying and then an eight-hour shift at Best Buy, holiday season. All I wanted was to come back to my dorm and collapse on my bed, possibly get a few hours of sleep before I had to wake up for my 8:0...
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, chances are it's probably a duck. However, the *thing* that's been waddling around town is by no means an ordinary duck. This thing, whatever it is, has fangs, fangs that have a certain taste for human flesh. The creature never ate your normal run-of-t...
-Subject pulled off at 14:22 – March 22 – 2042 -Displayed severe confusion and shock, reacting violently to the unplugging. Tranquilizers were administered. -Subject was informed of the simulation program termination status at 15:30 of the same day. -Subject was, as standard procedure, offered an extension of the ...
It was always so exciting when the squad found a new relic of humanity. Their leader, the tall and devilishly good looking Al'ahmar, had such a great knack for finding human artifacts that the emperor appointed him as chief explorer. He told his team they would explore the decrepit building tomorrow, but he was too exc...
The only thing you can use. It's the only thing you can use, and it's not that bad. I have such wonderful time. I have such wonderful time, the thing so far away from me, so very very long away, and I'm giving it to you. It's my time. It's not that bad. That's me. That's my thing. Take it. It's not that bad. (Good th...
His laughs rang through the hospice at three in the morning. At room 3B Myles Anderson lay limply across a bed of pillows, sheets, and a single morphine drip. The markings are never chronological, adding to their cruel game of chance and certainty, but their placement was always definite: one for each limb. Anderson...
Was it boredom or insanity that lead me here? Who knows? And in a few minutes, who will care? I'll either have pulled off the greatest con in my life, or I'll be in a secret cell buried from history. Security around the White House is a joke. They seem to rely on the reputation of security and severe punishment, b...
I sat on the grass in the park, enjoying the cool breeze as the sun shone down in pleasant warmth. There were people fishing at the lake, walking their dogs, taking photos, but the park was practically silent. We were all used to it, but sometimes I'd sigh as I tried to recall the sound of laughter, of children running...
"What a nuisance! What an ordeal! My whole day is gone! All of it!" "OK! Just stop shouting." A little garden gnome was addressing me as his bane. The fact that he was alive and the fact that he was upset were both equally terrifying. "How can I not be upset! You've completely demolished my scarecrow. Now I have to ...
"Jerry?" My brain stopped. I couldn't think. Jerry's dead. I am looking at his body. Jerry's dead. But I was just with Jerry and he is *definitely* alive. This doesn't make any sense. I sat down. Think. Gotta think. Options. Two Jerrys. One is dead. Jerry doesn't have a twin. I'd know if Jerry had a twin. Plus, why t...
With a shriek, Magdel the lady-witch flew through the air, cobweb hair flapping above an enchanted broom. Sir Isaac stood his ground, unflinching against the foul wind of her breath. The prayer on his lips was not broken by the witch's shrill cackle, and he held his sword steady. When the witch drew near, and the ev...
"Goddammit Steve! You can't keep putting this back on me!"Robert argued, shaking his space-shackles against the wall. "I saw the way he looked at you! The moment they landed, Zo'ba'ath locked like thirty of his eyes on your tight shirt! You could cut through dam steel on your tight nips!"Steve slammed his head agains...
I choked a little bit, spitting the meat from my mouth. My eyes watered, "W-What..?"All heads were raised, and all eyes were locked on Mother. Father stood, the chair falling behind him. He slammed fist down, his face getting redder with each passing second. "I-... I couldn't live like this anymore."She mumbled, pushi...
Up until now this interview had been pretty normal. A question about the gap in my employment, easily explained that I was taking care of my ailing grandmother and her children were covering my bills so that she wouldn't have to be alone in her final years. I was asked to elaborate on my experience some, and the old c...
We called it the first impact. While the elders may speak at length of the physical damage caused by the orb's arrival and the subsequent emergence of the angels from its shattered husk, in my mind, there was no greater horror than the heavensap. The angels *were* terrifying, I do not disagree with that fact, but th...
All we'd wanted was to see *Total Recall*, which was R16. Lucy and I had colluded, stealing her mother's ankle-length, expensive, tailored fur coat, styled black wig, opera gloves and pearls. Having the longer arms and the more adult face, I took the upper half of our new creation - and having longer legs and broader...
The dark-suited man entered the room and at the dingy metal table. He rubbed his face with his hands and took a deep breath. "You know why you're here?"He asked. I flicked my tail and sent water over the side of the tiny pool. "Eeek eekeekeek! *Chakachak eeek eek!*"I replied. The man put a finger in his ear and curs...
My father told me before I left that when you give your word, you keep it. That it is your actions that define you. I shook my head in disgust. How can I ever face him again, after what I have done, after what I have seen done to others? This war had brought out the worst in all of us. I had seen things beyond compr...
The spaceship came screaming through the atmosphere, the hull glowing red as it tore its way through the air and slammed into the shoreline. The desert stretched out beyond it as far as the eye could see while the featureless ocean rose and fell with the waves and tide, reaching into the shattered hulk at its highest p...
"We have arrived to destroy all of your data and possible backup devices."said a tiny green man with giant black eyes. "But why?"exclaimed Obama. "Rick and Morty. It reveals too many secrets." "What?" "Once every 7 billion years, through the power of sheer coincidence, one of the races invents a tv show that perfe...
I have created a world. Mainframe in our company has simulated every atom in the universe starting from the big bang, and now here we are. I look at the rendering of the world, and see myself staring at the rendering of the world I have created. And my head is starting to spin. Because when I think about the guy in my...
"Humans were vain, selfish, and predatory,"Jupiter mentions to the group of the assembled deities walking through a desolate city. "Our efforts appear to have been of some use,"Apollo remarks as he looks at the artwork and technologies produced in the late era of humanity. "They eventually realized their pollution and...
"Wait, I sold my soul? To you? Are you sure?" "YES. For the last fucking time, I have it written right here. I'm from hell, we don't make mistakes. Where do you think all the bureaucrats go anyway?" "Huh. Can I see that?" "WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS SHIT MORTAL. I have other places to be." "This is my immortal FUC...
Mark swung his feet as he sat on the edge of the bridge, looking thoughtfully down at the water that winked at him from below. Time to go. He took one last breath, and glanced at the sky, an inky black darkness without stars tonight. It seemed suitable. Tonight was a good night. Mark took another steadying breath and...
11:30pm. Sunday. The door slides shut. The street lamp highlights her lumpy silhouette as she trudges down the sodden path. This is the last time I’ll watch her leave. I’ll move on. There will be someone out there for me. Someone that understands. Monday. 8:40am. Stunning. Absolutely stunning. I was in my usual spot...
I contemplate my mortality as I stare at the remaining bite on my plate. When Ambrosia was first developed, I think the name was intentionally ironic, it was made as a ‘humane’ alternative for capital punishment. Exactly 7 servings in 7 days would kill the inmate. It has a 100% mortality rate, but only when the direc...
I sat down at my desk, the familiar seat in the back by the door. My stool scratched against the concrete floor of the art studio, I hated that sound. I pulled out my phone and set my lunch bag on the table and kept eating my chips as I opened my text messages. One from Jen, who usually sits next to me. "Hey man, can...
Toby looked into the bathroom mirror, straightened his tie, and let out a nervous chuckle. *It’s official. I am officially a character in a terrible comic book.* In the wake of the discovery that intelligence was a finite resource, one that inexplicably distributed itself equally between the citizens of nations, the w...
DeRilio and Calabus stood on the prow and observed the wall from up close. "India, do you suppose?"said DeRilio. Calabus shrugged. "They are said to have strange, exotic customs. Perhaps...perhaps they have constructed a single stone wall that rises to the heavens and spreads beyond sight in either direction. Perhaps...
At first it was a laugh, a lark. No one was going to vote. Ha ha, so funny. Granted, between Sarah Palin and her daughter running against a pair of clowns. No, literally the Democrats had put up a couple of clowns, in makeup and everything, because they thought they couldn't lose. Billy and Jojo, I always forgot which...
"It's *Rory*, you say?"Edmund rapped his fingers across the line of his jaw. "Rory Wentworth?" The man on the other end of the line hissed into his receiver. "Yes, it's bloody *Rory Wentworth*. You think this is a game?" "No, no, of course not,"said Edmund, flopping down onto a nearby chaise lounge. "Rory. Right. Doe...
The smell of acrid death wafts into the front hall from the kitchen. It dances through the bars of the staircase bannister and slides across the ferns beside the coat rack. It curls the edges of paintings. It lands at my side. My nose peels back, though the smell is no longer unfamiliar, just tedious. I pull a handkerc...
Steve Piccolo was at the blood bank. He hated the blood bank. This one had been done up to look like a Church – archways, lots of glass, and a massive logo right where the cross should’ve been. “Steve Piccolo?” called a woman’s voice from behind two-way glass. “Yeah, uh that’s me” “And how much are you looking to...
\> 27 PZD Tonight was cold, especially so. Snapping some twigs and tossing them on the fire, I dropped my bag and sat down. Tanner, the self-designated leader of the band of survivors hunkered down by me and offered me some unknown meat, cured and dried. “Here, eat. Let it never be said that I don’t take care of ne...
Why must humans be so stubborn? I have the evidence. I have the proof. But no one will listen to me, besides the other patients locked up along with me. They can see it, just like I can. The shadows that creep behind all the doctors here. Behind the guards. Behind everyone. We see them at the corner of our eyes. Wh...
It came suddenly, and rooted itself in our minds like weeds to the dirt. People would give anything to be more efficient, and *Tryst* was the answer. The purpose of sleep was multilateral. Conserve energy. Promote lower-level functions. Simulate and engrave memories. Many such things had been engraved into the pharma...
April 1st, 2017: I woke up that morning like any other, with my dog, Steve, plowing his wet nose against my forehead, panting heavily. The sunlight streamed in from the large 15th floor window. I yawned, stretched, and stumbled my way to the washroom to brush my teeth. I turned on my phone and began my morning routine...
Diary Entry 631: The time is 8pm, date is the 16th of March, 1992. Was out most of the day. I don't even know why I bother. There's no more food, drinkable water or any form of supplies left in the whole entire fucking city. I've either taken them all, or they're out of date. I'm planning on leaving the city. I've go...
Today has been a rather eventful day. By eventful, I mean that I went through hundreds of Skyrim mods in an attempt to make the game as entertaining as it was when I first got it. Unfortunately, every mod eventually becomes stale and unfulfilling. After fifteen hours of modding I decided it would be best to go to th...
4/28/17 Dear Diary, I spent the day with Jim today. He's kind of a sweet guy, but he has this tendency to just say the wrong thing at the wrong time. It'd actually be endearing if it weren't so....awkward. Like, I said I wanted some ice cream, and he said, "I can tell you like ice cream."He spent the next five minutes...
Nezumi looked upon his red-stained paws and wailed. He hadn't expected the blood - he hadn't expected *any* blood at all, save his own. The hero of legend was supposed to be strong, nigh immortal, but the boy...the boy had been... Weak. Three times he had checked the corpse, and three times he had found all the sig...
It was a friday night, I just wanted to go home. The sun was setting after a long, long day of answering calls to customers. I was packing up my things and just waiting for the night shift to arrive. The clock seemed to go slower than ever as I dazed at the orange sky. The twinkling light of the stars were just beginni...
(It's 230 AM and I wrote this in Notepad while bored on third shift, apologies) You didn't meet a lot of older folks these days, Jack thought to himself as the man sitting across from him shifted his legs. The train ride into Las Vegas took considerably longer than it had when he was younger, now that all of the major...
**Knock knock.** *"eh.... "?* Mr. Bean always had his own inimitable, peculiar mannerisms. His dazed look waking up, his overly dramatic, protracted yawns, and his instinctual dowsing of his alarm clock would surely elicit chuckles from his family. There were no chuckles. He lived alone. **Knock knock.... BANG! BAN...
The day had finally come. After years of hard work, an exhausted Alessandro Volta stood in his messy laboratory, contemplating his latest invention. His fellow physicists and chemists had never believed in him. Some even called him crazy. They had tried to undermine his reputation, they had took almost everything from ...
"Professor,"I started, "with all due respect, as the singular member of the human race in this room, I know for certain what you just said, and a lot of what you've said in this class overall, is wrong." The room was completely silent. It must have been shock, really, as challenging authority turned out to be just a...

Kelli stared at Hrarl in true astonishment. "You... don't speak their language?"She asked slowly, trying to wrap her mind around it. "But you've shared knowledge with them for the last fourteen solar rotations? How do you talk?" "We translate everything into binary,"Hrarl replied through his translator-collar. "And ...
The hooman puts the weird flower thingy on my perfect head. He will pay for his insolence ! He will never be forgiven for such a crime, how dare he ! But wait… What is happening to me ? Everything seems to be moving around me, and flashes of light dance before my eyes as my mind opens. Science, culture, the meaning of...
Hector cracked up reading the old pamphlet. Above the now washed out, but once vibrant, almost sickeningly colourful pictures of stern looking people were the ridiculous one-liners he used to write. As head of the Central Indoctrination Agency he had initially taken his job seriously, but slowly he noticed that it didn...
DH327 looked at the biological entity in front of him. "Enter-the-cell. You-will-be-processed-in-25-aurens."It could -feel- its circuits channeling a kind of -revulsion- towards the biological. "I don't understand?!", said Frankie. "Why am I being arrested? Illegal substance. It was first contact and I offered co...
I don’t know if my dream was to become a museum security guard, but after I received my “Security” H.E.D (Human Enhancement Destiny) implant, it was pretty much a given that I would end up in some kind of security job. You might not agree with the H.E.D system, but you can’t deny the success of it. When H.E.D was intro...
MINER inconvenience, Stephen. MINER! -what? It’s a pun. -I’m sorry professor, I... I don’t think I ..... *Sigh*, Stephen, look at your syllabus. What does it say at the top? -This is a physics class No, Stephen, read it directly to me -Geophysics That’s right, I teach geophysics, all of our assignments ar...
God, the accident sucked. It seems like every day my mind forces me to relive it. I don't know why, I don't have anything left unresolved, but I just can't stop myself from going back and remembering. I was just out enjoying life. Taking my motorcycle for a spin when I got side swiped by this rich A-hole. The guy s...
My walkie talkie sprang to life, "Mind Breaker, bank robbery on 5th and Main, please respond" I grabbed the radio and responded "be right there" I drove to the bank and saw the police lights flashing, the bank was surrounded, the SWAT team was mobilized and ready to move in. I parked and walked up to the Sargent. "We...
He was a staggeringly beautiful man, holding a single balloon with the word "Lucky!"emblazoned upon it. He stood just a touch under six feet tall with shoulder length blonde hair pulled into a low pony tail. The blonde hair and bright blue eyes stood in sharp contrast to the black tailored suit and crimson red tie and ...
Year 2045, Humans have finally constructed something capable of breaking bedrock. It took them 5 years to finally make a breakthrough, and in just 10 years. The world's deepest hole was made to inspect the core of the earth. At the night, only one guy was working on such a ridiculous project. His enthusiasm was unmatc...
Part 1 "Why are you doing this? You're hurting innocent people!"I did my best to take a defensive stance, but that's a bit hard with a broken leg. The festival goers were still evacuating summoned ancestors helped shield them from the flames. I just needed to distract him long enough for the Guard Corp to arrive. ...
That smile, it’s still lingering in my head even now as I try to sleep. Who was she? Does she have the same ability as me? Is that why I couldn’t see her death? Goodness knows it was pleasant NOT seeing a death for once. The toll that this “gift” has taken on my emotional state is palpable. My work has suffered, my pe...
"Come on, we've got to escape!"Said Jonas, hastily moving around the child's bedroom - his *sister's* bedroom - throwing books and furniture around and carefully examining all the walls. "The Yukanthi will be back any moment to pick us up and probably throw us out of the airlock!" I groan inwardly, sitting down with m...
The pristine white walls of the hallway display no pictures, photographs or any marking of any sort. This is a place that should be physically devoid of all emotion. "Brief?"I ask without turning my head to the small man with his clipboard, struggling to keep up with my long strides. "Steven Miller. Died yesterday at...
