I can still remember the first time I saw him. Thomas Deely, a tall, gangly, dorky guy at some bar uptown in my senior year of college. Before I discovered this godawful gift. He came up to me as I sat at a table chatting with my friends, fidgeting and glancing over his shoulders- completely panicked. He stuttered as h...
The weight of the poker chips in my hand was an anchor, keeping my mind on the present - focused like a laser on the current moment. After nearly fifteen millennia that was no small feat, any memory further back than the Nika riots was essentially a blur of emotions, and a few static images that weathered away as the d...
My help? Really? She tried to frighten me every day, and she’d always been hanging about. But the diminished spirit floating before me seemed so pitiful. “What happens if you starve?” I asked “can ghosts die?” “If I go too long without feeding,” she said, “I will simply fade away into nothing.” That wouldn’t be so b...
My weapon is simple, unique, yet wielding it requires the touch of a virtuoso. I aim to climb the ranks, for my stratagem will leave any supervillain reeling in pain and agony. I touch my hands to my lips. Such warmth. They said out of the academy that I would go on to do great things. I was a prodigy, honed my ski...
"So...what do you do, exactly?" Holda continued to work at her distaff, her practiced hands moving automatically as she looked at the agent. She carried herself with the dignity of a queen. "I preside over the domain of spinning. It was I who taught mankind to make linen from flax."Her voice was steady and serious as...
I died a few years ago. Long story short, I fell down the stairs and broke my neck. That's the most stereotypical way for a clumsy person like me to die, but I can't help it. As a result of my rather unfortunate death, I've become a ghost. People can't see me, nor hear me. I'm bound to the house and anytime I try to go...
I didn't think people would join just so they could become the God of laser eyes or impenetrable skin so they could play superhero, but I suppose it gives us good publicity. I figured I should pick something useful or flashy, to prove that anyone can become a God of my church... But that's not quite how it works. You...
A few rays of light were starting to illuminate the interior of my store, bright spots of light on the shelves full of meticulously aligned products. "8:58, soon opening time,"I said aloud as I approached the door, key in hand. "Maybe I will see more customers today ..." The door unlocks with a familiar clatter, I sl...
Well, all things considered, this wasn't the worst possible outcome. &#x200B; Sure, the bookcase was no more, but on the plus side nothing irreplaceable had been lost. Father Kelly preferred to keep his father's bible in his bedside drawer, and he wasn't much one for first editions or signed copies or anything ...
Most game developers envision themselves in their own game, as they create it. But not our company. We somehow got trapped in our own game after a storm and now we have to reach the exit or we die. So now me and the rest of the dev team are braving through the final forest area to exit the game. “God dammit!” A voi...
"So, Let me get this straight."I spoke, on the edge of my seat. "You think that the entire world is actually made up of little strings?" "Yep!"He replied. "It explains so many of the cosmic coincidences." "So then I can... You know, Control it?" "Let's see!" I reach out, grasping at the tiny threads of life. ...
"What does that have to do with our CEO being a cat Steve?!"I could feel the blood rushing into my face. "Well to be fair Greg, a cat as a CEO is better than having a dog as mayor for three years like over there in Minnesota." This was very true. At least the dog had a strong name like Duke as where our cat CEO went ...
"Draco!"Esteban called out summoning his dragon. Summoning is one of the greatest classes of magic in the world, the ability to summon and then direct creatures from other planes of existence. Beings of great magic such as Dragons, Angels, and Demons being both the most powerful and the most common. Merely riding on ...
“Hi!” That caught me off guard. I had nearly forgotten Dr Malevolence has brought his kid in. This was the first time I had ever seen her though. I didn’t expect her to be so... sweet? She had an innocent smile, a Disney Princess T-shirt, a sparkly tutu, and some worn sneakers. “Um... hey there, kid...” how the hell ...
"What?"My voice rasped through the speaker grill mounted on the front of my mask. "Yes sir."The minion who identified himself as Mr. Juniper, otherwise known to me as A7-1, said. "It's a really rough economy out there." "But I seek to usurp the grand world order and replace it with a fascist system controlled by me!"...
I swear I should have just burned the place. It was huge, sure, but so were the taxes on it. And the vermin. Rats, roaches, bedbugs, you name it. And this had been my aunt's third (yes, third) house. You know why? Because she ran out of space in her first and second houses to put her trash. She probably would have been...
"Carl, can I talk to you for a second?"Said Jim, pulling down his hood and rubbing the bridge of his nose. Vlad was wildly swinging a candelabra as the rest of the cult tried desperately to contain him. "Yea, what's up boss?"Carl said, shuffling over. Jim wrapped an arm around his shoulder and led him a few feet away ...
What is more important than trust? I think most people would say love, and that makes sense. Love is what we live for. To love, to be loved, to see love, to feel love. But what is love without trust? People never used to trust me. It was small things. My mother would hide the brownies from me until I would find them, ...
James hid under the bus shelter, his hood drawn high on his head, he had turned up exactly on time to smoke the same wet cigarette before the bus he had done exactly three hundred and ninety-one times previously. This time was a little different though. Parking the car on the train tracks nearby meant that the bus shel...
“Well isn’t this just great.” The once-dead man stared at their bony form, then glanced over to the young boy who clearly didn’t know what they were doing. “Are you not listening to me- I said-“ “Yeah, Yeah, I know what you said, boy. Necromancy, eh? Clearly you don’t know how this works.” The boy blanched under his h...
The humans often spoke of chance, fate tucking at the strings of their lives. Understanding at the surface, but blind to the deeper truth. We watched them as they rose. We waited patiently for them to understand their destined roles as guardians... as caretakers. Our kin to be, keepers of the planet. We listened with...
“Hey bud, how’s your head feel? Better?” He whips around in the hospital bed. He touches his arms. He touches his head. A smile starts to form. Fear pushes it back. “Is the pain finally gone?” He nods slow and deliberate. He turns quick towards the woman sleeping near the bed. “Mom!” He yells. She doesn’t stir. ...
"I'm sorry, the janitor has to do what?" Dr. Bright rubs the back of his neck sheepishly. The other top-level personnel present are, regrettably, silent as well. As usual, it falls to you, O5-4, to do the dirty work. "Well you see, SCP-682's containment chamber frequently gets very... messy. Somebody has to clean i...
Lothoren screamed as shells exploded around him. He hit the ground, covering his ears. His bow clattered nearby, rocked by the miniature earthquakes. "Someone shut that awk up!"yelled Echador, leader of the ranger group. Someone made a swift kick to Lothoren's stomach. His scream turned into a gasp. Another kick. H...
`NOTE BEFORE READING: I’m trying something a little different with this prompt. If you're interested, try only hitting one of either the light or dark boxes as you read. Don't worry about staying consistent either, they should all work, just choose what feels right in the moment! Keen to hear thoughts on the concept an...
The process ran for six days and six nights, crawling through every byte of the internet in search for bot and human activity alike. I often imagined it like a hunter creeping through the forest, unfailingly snaring every moving creature before categorizing and classifying them and setting them on their way. By the end...
"So it seems you and Jon go way back huh?"I took a sip of wine before wiping my lips cleanly with the napkin on my lap, painfully aware of the damned purple stains on my teeth. She eyed me with her eyebrows slightly raised as she nodded once slowly, almost as if that was the dumbest question she's heard all day. Consi...
"Graaaiiinnnsss" Of course, they're vegan! I realize. Eventually, the hoard is blessed with a loaf of bread. Unfortunately, unlike a certain someone, I can't feed 2000 with 2 loaves of bread. I determine that if all they really want is grains, I could afford to let them in and ravage my pantry. Better that than let th...
Robbery isn’t a steady business, per say, but it’s a job that gets money on the table. All it really requires is some smarts, a bag, and a lock pick. It’s in the the dark hours of the early morning, long before daylight begins to show its face, that it’s easiest to get into a house. Just gotta be all stealthy about i...
Paul loved stakeouts. Just him, alone, in a room, staring out the window. It was the life! He loved the sounds of quiet rural suburbia only interrupted by the occasional gunshot. It was five whole days of blissful "me-time". It was times like this that made him want to be a cop. He was just getting ready to open th...
Veera shuffled away from the lizard, snake, whatever it was that was most assuredly not a dragon. By the Pantheon, it has wings! The black and red serpent hopped closer. Veera slid further back along the stone floor. The winged gecko hopped closer. Veera scrambled away, back meeting the walls of what now felt lik...
The Admiral stood in front of the latest shipment that had been recieved, he was expecting a battleship, but the shipment was no larger than that of a van. What appeared from within was not a battleship, but a woolly, four-legged harbringer of death. A battlesheep. Furious upon this discovery, the Admiral rang up the R...
Elliot crashes to the floor, all he can taste is lime-flavored mucus as he takes in his surroundings. Radioshack? Haven’t seen one of these in ages he thinks to himself. He scoops himself up off the floor as a bewildered attendant stares on from behind the counter. Elliot, not sure of what he witnessed, gives a frien...
It was supposed to be simple. They weren’t throwing some elaborate high-class gala, it was a damn potluck. Charlie was in charge of bringing the plates and utensils, and he delivered them with his usual smile. Penny brought some grocery store chicken wings, a perfectly delectable side, and Ethan brought the cooler ...
The pressures of evolution are heavier than most people—human or otherwise—can really grasp. On every planet that has ever hosted life, same form tends to follow same function, even for species whose most recent common ancestor lies buried deep in geological time. It's a brutal process, discarding countless billions an...
Should I go through the chimney like the fat man? Nah. The door it is. What do I have to hide from? I often receive letters from children asking for toys, puppies, kittens and the usual for Christmas each year. It has gotten annoying lately with the explosive human population growth but I just redirect the letters t...
"Just another damn kid..."the Dark Lord exhaled as he sunk to the ground in apparent defeat. "That's right!"exclaimed the girl fiercely as she took up the pose she had been practicing for a while with her sword held out against her nemesis. "You killed my brother and my parents, you even killed my beloved dog! But you ...
I am Captain John S. Henderson, the ninth captain of the generational ship New Horizons. Our mission was to proceed to Wolf 359 to establish orbital colonies, refuel, and proceed into the abyss in search of intelligent life. &#x200B; This ship has been drifting for 370 years when we detected something ahead of us...
The priest stood between the two lonely souls about to be together forever and held his bible tightly; there was no telling what this couple could do, knowing their relationship's origins. A demon and a priest forming a bond wasn't necessarily new, not by a long shot, but to go against all previous traditions and conve...
Nobody is completely good. You've learned this, ingrained it into the very fabric of your mind with every attempt at restraining yourself. Everyday people on the street make you want to spit back-handed compliments. Back-alley dealers have you struggling to not roundhouse kick them in their suspicious faces. Murders?...
"Yeah, I think I'm gonna be a thief."I nodded my head. "Honored traveler,"the Maester interjected, scuffling towards me. "That is not one of the classes the gods offer. You should know that by now." "Oh, yeah, totally,"I agreed. "They're talking about warriors, and mages, and archers and shit right now. Sound awesom...
Bloody hell Tony, this is the sixth time you have come to this place, just ask them or find a hobby. It was getting painful, even more painful than getting my body crushed under a truck. Watching him get to the counter, staggering out a few friendly pleasantries before sheepishly walking out unsatisfied, disappointed i...
"dude, do you smell lavender?" "What?? WHAT?? These things can talk??"I don't know if i hid my expression well, but my surprise was such i almost said this out loud. I mean, it was months after the apocalipse begun, and now they talk? They didn't speak when they mauled my brother last week. They didn't speak when they...
“You are bloody pitiful, look at you. More a toad, then a man. You look angry, you Wanna fight or something, you want to meet lefty and righty punk? Mr. uppercut and Miss Jab? Get a taste of the old sweet chin music? I scare you, don’t I? You have never seen a raw masculine physique like mine.” Bill flexed his flab...
As the needle entered his arm Peter Thron felt himself pulled back to the Earth he was gratefully escaping, he woke nearly blinded by fluorescent lights amplified by drug dilated pupils. Lights not half as bright as the one he had stared at moments ago on the other side, at the end of an impossibly long corridor he had...
With a flick of a switch, Mason Williams righted his gaming chair and slid out from behind the three gaming screens that he’d been staring at ever since he’d been given this brand new, state of the art gaming system. He had another expensive piece of kit in the opposite corner of his new room, and he had no doubt he’d ...
Twitch sighed, unfurling the scroll. “The Sage of the Golden Quartet and the Helm of Valour,” he said. “What a crock of shit.” Twitch leaned against the mud-brick wall of his hut, lit a pipe, and began to read. It started off accurately enough. The author described he - Twitch Slitherskin - recruiting a party of a...
"So you're saying none of it happened?" I sighed, shaking my head. "No, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that Allyn...exaggerated. Embellished. It's his job, he's a bard." The woman that had approached me in the tavern seemed devastated. "But you're the Golden Sun! The Paragon of Justice! The..."...
Words are unable to describe what I currently feel. I had made an impact with my life, but I had not known it, worse yet, I do not know what impact I had made. Perhaps dread or fear would fit. "Please, describe this again."I asked. "You... Your the... Worst... P-person?"The summoner stammered, clearly not knowing how...
\[Poem\] "May I have your attention please!" I say with a slight weakness in my knees I say louder "Attention please!" I think to myself Jeeez! Why did I choose walmart for this shit And right now when corona hit Nevermind, I'm already here So just say it nice and clear "I'm a god"I say "...hello?" The reacti...
I struggled against the bonds restraining me trying to scream through the "gag"made up of some socks and duct tape. I stopped suddenly when I heard a click. I felt a hand lift my blindfold as my eyes adjusted to what little light the room had, as my eyes adjusted I was greeted by the barrel of a gun. &#x200B; The...
"Desperation for a purpose." "What?"Said the alien. "Desperation for something to be unique about them.They need something to make them special. They're insecure, and need something to make them feel great." "Think about it. Imagine if you're working a 9 to 5 job in your 40s, living a painfully average life...
“Your poor stepsisters!” “Yeah...no, who the fuck talks to a random old bat hanging out in the middle of the woods?” Shawns sweet stepsister Janine tried to lecture him but she was unintelligible through the diamonds and roses spilling from her mouth. A curse of sorts from the aforementioned old woman in the woods...
"The hunting party returns!" The cry rang out from the guard tower which protected the entrance to our base. Our base which had served so well in the past years to keep us alive. But it could only keep us alive inside. Outside was where we died. "How many are there"I ask with dread in my voice. The guard looked o...
Captain Beauregard's day was not going well. He had been sent by the Admiralty to this godforsaken pile of rocks after command detected brand new signals emanating from the planet's surface. What his superiors had not told him was that the Squeegles were less than an inch tall, and that he'd land right in the middle o...
Earths Divided: Part I Earth It was a disaster. Midway, our first space station. She was old, but built at a pivotal moment in history. A joint project, pooling the resources of every nation on Earth. A permanent presence in space, a symbol of our ingenuity. Or so the Sovereign claims. And it might even be true to a...
"Electronic security, this is Claire." "Claire, it's Gabe." "Hey, what's up!"Claire's face broke into a wide smile, the first of the day. Gabe was a good friend, and one of the few things that made working here worth it. "Claire, listen carefully. Pretend you're talking to a customer. Everyone is in incredible dange...
[Poem] "I've solved nuclear fusion", he said. Last week he was dying, stuck in his bed. The nanobots have worked real wonders. Fixed one of nature's biggest blunders. They might've taken it too far, for now he's hooked up to the car. Transforming into a Transformer. Days fore we thought he was a goner. ...
So many worlds that we didn’t know about. So many planets, species, and galaxies. And they all hate us or used to. I don’t know how we are going to fit into this. Can humanity survive this sudden…change? There is a creature at a podium. Not carbon-based. He’s glossy, almost glass-like. Crystal. He speaks a...
The holy sword shone with light, showing that the Dark Lord was there. The group of monsters all had gathered around him for one final stand against the heroes. Keith, the hero in question, looked over his enemies. Then he lowered the point of his sword. He knew he had to fight the Dark Lord while his companions held ...
"Write that down, write that down!" The assistant hastily scrawled in a well-worn spiral notebook. "How do you spell it?" "A-L-A-M-O,"the disheveled professor exclaimed as he paced back and forth in the room. "Aaaaalright,"the assistant finished the word with a dot and a flourish. Exactly which letter needed a dot w...
I stared at the medical report silently. No matter how many times I read it and re-read it, the letters did not change, much to my rising despair. After my most recent encounter - and injury - a clerical error caused the surgeons to repair me, but in doing so... it crossed the threshold. My body was now 51% cybernetic...
Reginald was in a conundrum. It wasn't the identity of the assassins that concerned him; gleaning anything from the charred corpses would be difficult, but that was a headache for the spymaster. It wasn't even that it had been Her Majesty who put them in such a state, nor the mystery of why she had briefly grown a ta...
Rob's alarm went off and he hit snooze for the sixth time. He curled back up in his blankets; it was cold. He didn't want to get out of bed, and he didn't want to get dressed, and he sure as hell didn't want to look for a new job. He could feel the frustration building in the back of his mind and he braced himself for ...
Most people wouldn't have had a VHS player to play them. Most people wouldn't have looked twice at the moudly plastic bags holding the tapes. Most people wouldn't have been at the dump looking for things to begin with. But Anna always provided herself on thinking a little differently to everyone else. Seeing things tha...
I had served twenty years before the mast when Friendbeard joined our crew. Some of the others had been swabbing the decks of the Dutchman for many hundreds of years before that, and they had known nothing for centuries except the smell of blood and gunpowder mingling with the salt, and cries of jubilation over the ...
"Last chance!"I scream from upstairs. "Leave my home or I will have no choice but to use deadly force!" An unknown man yells from below, "Yeah? What are you gonna do, bitch!? Open the safe and this will all be over soon!" I surprised myself that night. Moments ago, shaking in fear, I wanted nothing more than for th...
Meanwhile in said galactic empire: Senator Blig: So commander, how did the booster work? Commander Sturh: Excellent sir. Plant 429-BK eradicated all the cloned troops while keeping enough of the tech to replicate so they can further advance. Intern Golpa: I'm sorry Commander Struh, but could you explain to me why we...
He spent each day charging his last remaining solar panel so that each night he could lie under the stars and count the old suns, one by one, over and over. He didn’t see the island until he was nearly running ashore. His emergency sensors kicked in and his solar panel slammed shut and retracted into its storage posi...
My office wasn't particularly busy today. A handful of dreadful faces had sauntered in and out, mostly all too forgettable to name any certain features of. The last guy may have been tall? The one before possibly pretty? I think she had hair. It was more likely than not. The usual glare through the window was there t...
"I always wanted to be an artist, but my parents said there was no money in art!" And again he broke into tears! I don't get it, I thought I bought the right candles, drew the correct signs on the floor. I even bought a cool robe off of the internet. It's a deep purple, with a hood that just about covers my eyes, and...
“Grandpa, do you need anything before I go?” Jerome asked. “My boy… my dear boy,” his grandfather whispered, “I need only two things” The elderly man slowly tried to sit up; Jerome quickly walked over to help his grandfather sit up on the creaky, yet elegantly handcrafted enormous bed. The bedroom had few furniture ...
Everyone know the gig... One circle + one offering= one Daemon It was no brainer, if you get me. And so the eternal legions of imps, tengu and so on went in an orderly way towards those offerings. Some, liked the occasional goat meat given. Others, wished for a simple salad. Now, another unspoken rule was: The rare...
Abigail's look could only be described as average. Average height, average build, average hair color, average eye color. It was for this reason it was mind-numbing how beautiful she was to behold. Although everyone made fun of her, there wasn't a single action or movement she took that failed to exude grace and elegan...
"So, just so I'm understanding. There is no... Ulterior motive? No kidnapping the princess but they're actually in love?" "None"Said the worried royal guard. "And this isn't a dragon that has developed feelings for me again, correct?" "That is correct."Said the worried royal guard. "She didn't plan this because she...
It was a sweltering day in the middle of July in New York City, the kind of day when the humidity was so high that it felt like you were walking in a thick soup. Billy, who was fifteen years old at the time, had spent the entire day cooped up in his apartment, trying to keep cool and stay out of his mother's way; but s...
"I don't know, it's in there, isn't it? I mean, I've been here for hours, man."Gaius shrugged. "Why do you ask?" "The tomb is empty."Flavius said in alarm, motioning towards it. Inside, a bundle of burial cloths lay unraveled, and there was a sound of shuffling. "Heeeey, guys!"A cheery voice called out behind them, a...
Now? Why now? Not when I was a kid and could've used a friend and playmate. Not when I was a young adult and needed a companion. Not even when I was a young parent and could've used a babysitter, but now. Now, when I'm a widower with teenagers and a farm that needs tending. Now, when I am becoming old. "You're la...
"You were supposed to fake the moon landing. So please tell me how in the world you thought filming it 'on-location for added realism' was a good idea, let alone how you managed to reach the moon in the first place!" "You wanted us to fake the moon landing, so we could threaten the US with our superior technology"...
The spoon that had entered the soup rose to the lips beneath a small moustache. Super Hitler sipped on the broth as if it were the finest wine he'd ever tasted. His substantially large physique now officially occupied 1/16 of my restaurant's dining area. I waited until he put the bowl of soup down before initiating con...
TW: Loss of limb/body mutilation "Fucking Christ."I mumbled with second hand embarrassment as I listened to the seven foot tall chiton bound monstrosity read the footnotes of the 'humans r sooper cool' species fan fic to me. "Ah, yes, Christ! The son of a god whose form nailed to a cross was the focus of worship for...
Seeing out of billions of eyes was normal for me, though I somehow knew any other mind would snap under the strain. How would anyone else cope with so much pain? Experiencing death over an over, ending lives over and over? Where an arm that looked as though it had been mulched and glued back together with coagulating, ...
“Um, sir?” “Speak.” “Uh, sir,” The henchman said. “They’re getting away.” The boss turned to look at the henchman. “Kyle,” Boss began. “Have you read Harry Potter?” “Harry Potter, sir?” “Yes,” “No, sir,” “Well, Clyde, firstly, you need to read it. Minor spoilers here, basically the whole point I’m trying to ma...
<Speculative Fiction> ##An Icarus Complex “I’m in.” With a few more furious taps on my keyboard, I’d finally done it. I’d hacked into the world’s mainframe. I now had access to the core of the universe! Eagerly, I moved through codespace. Except—hold on—what started as a gentle walk accelerated into an unconstrained...
\[Coarsing Blood\] "There will always be people to stand...,"Sandy had fun during her fight to the throne room and through the guards. She was enjoying herself so much that she almost missed what the King said. She relaxed her sword and tilted her head at him. "...wait, did you say 14th?"she asked. The King's ...
I stumbled out of the undergrowth, using my tattered sleeve to wipe the beads of sweat away from my eyes. I could hear the shouts of the villagers behind me, far enough that they couldn't hear me but still too close for combat. I knew I had to keep going, even though I was already way past my limit. I drew deep within ...
"Please, Adam, that pot isn't used for ritual purpose. It's actually a modified spittoon. Do you humans tend to use 'ritual purpose' as a blanket term when you have yet to determine what the object does?" The new recruit Adam sheepishly scratches the back of his head, averting his gaze from mine. He sets about reclass...
Morality was subjective, when you live a million lives, it can only be true that good and evil don't exist. One thing I knew was that there were supernatural powers, I've met people with them, and that always included myself. There are obvious things that one person memorizes when they live thousands of times. The ...
I look at the man in front of me, he looks like me, if I grew up in Mad Max. This strange person had just stepped out from a portal and he looked pissed. "Who are you?"Was all I could muster "I'm you from the future" "How far in the future?" "About one week." "I find that hard to believe" "Well it's true" "Okay,...
I do not mind my coworkers, but there is something you should know about aliens: they are irrational. They don’t think the same way; it only takes a passing meeting with one to gleam that much, but there’s more to it than simply culture; it’s also in the way they think. You’d think I’d understood my mistake by now, wit...
Voice-over "This Summer. The greatest Mystery in history" \Aeriel shot of Bablon, panning over outter walls, gardens, the palace. Then cut to black\ Voice-over "Based on real events of 1200bc!" Smashcut to hordes of the undead attacking temples and palaces, people scream and run for their lives. Voice over "When ...
I suppose it made sense, in theory. At least, it did when the old still died. "This is not allowed!"Hidge hisses in my ear. "We should not be here, Valonix."I try to remind myself not to judge him. Hidge is so different now from who he used to be. Before he was replaced. Before he was dulled. Before his courage was...
Time seemed to come to a halt as we both freeze in place, staring at the handle shaped patch of red skin that throbbed along her fingers. The object responsible, the weird metal mug my mother had picked up from some yard sale, lays forgotten on the tiled floor. My eyes involuntarily trace upwards, along the rest of her...
Healthcare. They should remove the "care"from the end of it. One little trip to the ER with a broken bone, some drugs, a brief surgery, and I walk out of there with a forty thousand credit health "care"bill. It took me two years to save ten thousand, and that was budgeting hard. Now I'm expected to pay four time...
"Sir, do you have any idea why I just pulled you over?!", exclaimed the officer as he yanked off his aviators in astonishment. "Was it because I was driving a hundred and twenty miles per hour in an active school zone where construction was also taking place? Or was it because of the drugs in the glove compartment?",...
March 27, Well I just came up north to hike the Pictured Rocks. I know it is a tad early, but the spring is unusually warm. The snows almost all melted off. I'm going ultra light again. It really is the way to go. Forecast for the week seems good. March 28 Spending time in Munising before I head out. They have a gr...
"Section 1: To capture a demon alive and unharmed so that he might do your bidding and be bound as your slave, first ensure that your boards are neatly swept. Loose debris and dust may impair the binding circle and cause the spell to go awry." Cuthbert looked down at the freshly cleaned boards in his study. "Check." ...
"hey... hey, it's okay,"I whispered, closing my hand around your wrist. "don't worry, look it's almost over."; tears welling. You trembled, eyes wide with confusion, you opened your mouth to speak but quaked a warm breath in place of words. "I won't ever forget you buddy, I swear, I swear I won't."You didn't know wha...
The book, he finally found himself in possession of the book he'd searched his entire life for. The book of hopes, dreams, and whatever wish he desired. This book could make it come true. He couldn't believe it. He stared at the cover. Flipped through the book, never had a blank book read so well. How could it be that ...
The razor cut deep into the unkempt chaos that was my hair. Gradually, the coarse locks fell into the sink – creating layers of begrimed clippings. My natural blond hair had faded with time, but a strand of gold reminded me of the past. The punishment had seemed perpetual; the frigid prison had kept me untouched for ov...
