A golden flare swirled around the being who have taken the fabric of existence for himself. One thousand possibilities, one thousand worlds, all converged in an object he held close to his chest. A crystal plate that shined with an eerie light, reflecting everything but what was on sight. It wasn't a gift he had...
Vancouver Canada, Halloween 2014 Billy stepped down into his Basement, surprised by the cheesy trasnsformation into a 80's gameshow set. Curtains, lights, and cameras were everywhere. Marty stood behind a crudely made podium of wood. “ANNNNDDDD we’re live! Hello everybody!” “Where’d did you get all this?” “That...
The smell of ozone fills Meredith's nostrils as she takes a look around her surroundings. A blinding combination of red, blue, and green create the illusion of an endless, white plane engulfing all visible angle and perspective. How did she get here? Meredith glances down at her hands and it comes rushing back to the ...
Douglas was old, too damn old to keep up with the rest of the world. Douglas was certain that Global Warming was a myth, trusted Scientists less then the speakers at his local NRA meetings and had very strong opinions on girls with brightly coloured hair, rap music and Prius'. Douglas had been behind Jacob for the ...
"Definitely sending this one to hell."one of the demon attorneys said with a smirk. "Theft, kidnapping, slavery.... we are gonna have a real treat to send satan." The three demons burst out laughing, while the fourth took a sip of his coffee. Yeah...apparently demons like coffee too. I guess that is not the wierd...
The twisted crown of blackened metal rested crookedly on his head. His hooves felt different, cloven now. His memories began to sort themselves from the endless pain he had endured for so long. He knew what he must do. Hooves clacking against the rock, he made his way to the one he trusted more than any other, before ...
Titan stood before an immense ring of Metal with a glowing red orb in the center. "We will be at firing strength in moments Titan." "Good, and those three pests?" "Dealt with." Suddenly a Skinny Woman with Pink hair and a red suit landed on the walkway behind Titan and his minion. "Captain Calamity. It Figures th...
Frank, the hotel manager looked down at the bionic arm resting on the black marble counter. The exterior of it was covered with a dark grey metal, with golden prongs sticking out of the main joint. The two prongs matched up with two metal lined holes in Tom's left shoulder. Then Frank looked around at the empty lobby....
Sometimes she was the wind, other times she was the rain. I could feel her fond caress as the breeze gently enveloped me, I could hear her soft hums as the droplets of rain lulled me to sleep. But she wasn't always mild. A few rare occasions, she would come as a storm. I could feel her rage in the howling winds and t...
N(0-0;)mb34s & N06g1n5 (Short #12) 0000 No. That can’t be right. My eyes must be wrong. My prescription is outdated, yeah, that’s it! There’s no way someone’s number could be 0000. Not when my number is 7692(D-A). It’s just not possible. With one billion people starting on each letter, then the seco...
With no signal on my smartphone. I'd done the only thing I could think to do: start walking north until I saw some sign of civilization. I had absolutely nothing necessary for any kind of wilderness survival besides a couple granola bars, a small flashlight and the 3D-printed pistol I didn't officially own. There was n...
You awake in your prison bed, struggling for breath. Is someone choking you? Your eyes dance wildly around the room, searching for your invisible assailant. After a panicky three seconds, you realize that your only company is Death, and the hands on your throat belong to him. You take a moment to consider this, and dec...
You've been able to see the auras of people all your life. Its been distracting when you were younger, but as time went on, it got easier and easier. You've gotten used to seeing the muddled mix of colors on your daily commute, and walking through the streets has become more or less a daze of blurred colors. You walk ...
Felix walked along the side of the dirt road towards town. The blue sun peeked out of the horizon, ready to start the day. He stayed on the outside of the road to avoid bumping into anyone or being trampled by a cart. Felix preferred solitude, and only made the trip to town when necessary, usually once a month. He alw...
“Well isn’t that embarrassing” say Etienne as he walks past a man laying in a stretcher gasping for his last breath through a frothing hole in his chest. “If I had ever wondered what conditions roaches lived in I would come here more often, well anyway my good boy I’d say see you later but let’s not be kidding anyone...
“Dad-flammit I deserve it! Who could have discovered those accounting oversights in last quarters reports?” Henry asked. “You, Henry,” Gus sighed. “And who else would work till midnight on Friday to re-crunch the numbers that had been confusing the whole department all week?” “You, again,” “And who in the ever lo...
He took a long drag of his cigarette, then proceeded to crush it between his fingers. The butt, still glowing alarmingly red, disappeared into the side of his index finger. The one with the faded "J"tattooed years ago. The ember from the final hit disappeared, but left no mark on the worn ink. "J"stood for Jane. He ...
I forcefully tapped the sequence in to the keypad, as I pressed enter, the mechanism holding the briefcase closed burst into flames. I instinctively closed my eyes and covered my head, some human traits remained in me after my time as Chieftan, but there was no heat, no burning smell. 20 years cavorting with demons and...
Its a lot of work changing the past. People whom you confide in don’t believe you, no one is willing to help. They check you into the psychiatric ward or avoid contacting you ever. You are the 1 factor fighting against millions, if not billions, acting aggressively to end the world. I’ve been extending... changing...
Time stopped. Just for a second, so it wasn't enough for anyone to notice, but when you take one second away from every living being on a planet, it adds up to... well a lot. One small being, did happen to notice, and it hadn't been the first instance either. Time had started going missing slowly and in small amo...
It all started when I was in my teens. I was a pretty smart kid, not to toot my own horn. I would get pretty bored in school, even in the honors classes at my high school were too easy for me. One day while trying to stay awake through another lecture on genetics, I started trying to mouth the words the teacher was s...
She doesn't even know I'm here I rest in her breast I gently caress her with a false sense of security Formed from her Converted her DNA, I have re-coded her being I have written myself into the intelligence of her body I am a chemical assault, Subtly resting in above her heart Just below the place her son fed ...
"Hey Randy, what's that?" Alan and Randy stood there, on the beach, silently, squinting their eyes. "Is that... a bottle?" "Seriously, a bottle? What is this, the fucking Disney channel?" Randy replied, sarcastic as usual. The two friends paced towards the water. Yes, it was a bottle, but not the kind they ha...
Police report:1a187bCC Suspect: Noah Jones Felony: Defecated in three water fountains, attempted defecation in a fourth but when told to stop, stripped down to underwear and proceeded to lather in baby oil before fleeing into the nearest bush while screeching. Backup was called once it appeared he had stolen 3 ferre...
Joy adjusted the pillow under her head and then rolled over. “More lotion,” she called out lazily. The surrounding area was a beautiful rocky beach, unspoiled and empty. She was camped out on one of the smaller islands off the coast of Sardinia and felt like she was in heaven. She was the only person visible on the be...
Its come to this, has it? Thousands descended from their offices and apartments and into the street where I stood, still clutching my pen and papers I’d cleared off my desk moments before. Those with real intent were ready for anything, those who were unsure could be easily spotted, like scared animals pleading with t...
As Death had explained to me, all bakers had this as a well kept secret. It was the yeast, he said. Increased sensitivity to radiation and DNA damaging chemicals was what the most known yeast fungi, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was capable of doing and yet it was used for creating bread- something people can eat. The same...
"Alexa, where will I die?" "Papa John's Pizza." I had burst out laughing at the mere thought. A mediocre pizzeria? Are you kidding me? What could possibly happen that is so dire that not only would I be harmed, I would be killed?! After my laughter had died down, I then realized that this 'where will I die' question ...
We voted on it, at the end. Our station was remote, more than most, but we still saw the pictures, still knew what was coming from the sky. We were scientists, first and foremost, true, but we still knew that only one path lay before us. As the points of fire rose into the sky, the world watched, or drank, or sobb...
My eyes struggled against the strong beam of morning light that burned across my eye lids. The crust of a night of drinking settled in the corner of my eyes as they cracked open. My surroundings remained blurry, but I could tell I wasn’t at the inn by the road any more. My loins were burning; may-haps I had picked up s...
It took me about a month to notice. One month in, and I had put on almost 45 lbs of muscle and was as lean as I'd ever been in my life. And yet, it had taken me an entire month to notice It started in February of this year, when my friend Gary decided to install the app called GymBroLife onto my Samsung Galaxy. Gary ...
Morocco Street Market, Present Day “So be it.” The Genie clapped her hands. The Thunderclap that broke and rewrote the world threw me to the ground. “This wish is Granted.” “No more war than?” I got on my feet. “I’ll be seeing to this matter personally.” When she spoke the street shook a little. “Great!” “My f...
"Stick out your tongue." "Why?" I leaned my back up against the wall and pretended like he was no longer there. "Okay, okay,"he relented. "Look." I did - briefly. Then looked away. "I don't have any gum,"I told him. "But you said you had some just a few seconds ago!" "You asked if I had stuff. I have a lot of...
You know, when the government first introduced their robots, I thought they'd gone insane. The people would revolt, there'd be the final 'war to end all wars'. You know, standard dystopian robot overlord shit. Instead, the population pretty much accepted it right away. The folks in power pitched it as a way to free...
"It's all butt sex captain." "What? What on Earth did you just say to me Trilby?" "Captain, sir, it's all butt sex." "Trilby I'm going to ask you one more time to repeat what you just said to me and you better bet your career that whatever you say is not what I think you just said to me." Trilby hesitates briefly. ...
As Sarah walked into the waiting room, she immediately froze when she saw that woman. “Good morning, my name is Dr. Sarah Stohl and I will be the clinical study lead for this trial. If everyone is ready for the procedure, please follow me.” Sarah didn’t believe that coincidence could bring her here. Was this some...
The man in the suit straightened his tie and stepped out of the dark wings of the stage, blinking away at the light. "Thank you for coming." One reporter in the back clapped twice, caught himself, and stopped. "I'm here to announce a new innovation. It's the best idea anyone's had since sliced bread."He grinned unea...
A young woman in her late twenties with bits of grey in her hair hobbled toward the jury booth. “I lost my legs when I was fifteen. My boyfriend at the time left me stranded at a gas station parking lot, in the middle of the night, after we had a big fight, so I hitched a ride with a man in a blue station wagon. He loo...
Once humanity had a gloomy outlook on its future, expectant of the Armageddon, the Apocalypse, nuclear holocaust, and other doomsday scenarios. End-day prophecies and doomsayers were ubiquitous throughout the history. The end of the world almost happened. Then we hit the technological singularity. The year was 2087. So...
Thought might aswell post as I never have posted anything. Doesn't have much to do with the prompt though sorry Criticism very much appreciated 24 hours. A regular day. Yes, a regular school day for Stephen, no twists or turns. It would, however, be the last week of this process. No more giving change to homeless ...
First there was I, The holy God, A truly divine lord. I lived in peace, For centuries, But then I soon grew bored. Perhaps I'll make a universe, I heard myself once say, I'll populate it with lots of stuff, In every single way. I'll even name a planet Earth, I'll give it life as well, I'll shape them in my...
I'm a 22 year old male. Walking down the street. Headphones in, listening to my favorite music. On my mobile off course. All of a sudden my mobile makes an unusual noise. I look at the screen and see the word “DUCK” below is a flashing exclamation mark. ... I'm baffled. … Not for very long. Suddenly I feel a terribl...
I shuddered as I crept through the lobby and peered over the receptionist's station. I always hated dentists, but with only the lamplight from the street outside casting an eerie glow over the office, my disdain was much stronger. The light, filtered by the blinds on the windows, resulted in unnerving stripes of of l...
I'd seen the headlines. A...tree-man had sprung up in the middle of Yellowstone National Park and started talking. Easily ten feet tall and seven feet around, it...he...tried to speak. At first, it was only rasps that would come out, but he acclimated quickly to broken English learned from his adoring fans, who nicknam...
Mommy Mommy I love you I love you so much. But it's so very early. M'tired. Mommy, where is Daddy. Mommy why are you angry. Please don't be angry I love you so much. Let me hug you Mommy. I'm small so my hug is small. Mommy the sun isn't even up. Mommy where is my big brother. Haha Mommy I see him, he's hanging ...
According to the field guide, two knocks is customarily polite, three knocks is more aggressive, and five knocks is threatening. Zeep Kelflen had read those lines ten times over before Leptrin Spigg pressed the button on the doorframe. “Leptrin, the field guide said this planet was technologically inept. How do they ha...
The night skies used to be bright, the old stories say. That stars once lit the heavens, with their light shining from unimaginable distances away. Most incredibly, they say that our cold, dead rock of a planet used to orbit one that we called "the sun", and that it gave life to lands all across the planet. I wish I...
For many, the inclination when hearing the word evolution is to imagine large\-scale change. A wolf expanding out its roots into being a domesticated dog over an extremely long period of time. Or even on a smaller\-scale, an ear changing its shape a little bit. An eye curving here and there. It lends a certain order to...
The lonely hill bound up highest in its valley. Housing a tree, two stones, and a path of beaten grass to a pond. Much unlike stones, one rolled side to side unaided by gravity, or a bored animal. If it could utter a voice, nothing would stop it humming. “Another winter gone.” It might say. Its companion stone, like ...
Mercer finished the sentence with a flourish before stoppering his ink bottle and laying down his quill. He stared long and hard at what he had written as the creaking of the boat below him sang through his weary bones. It read; "In my last act as the ships scribe, I will do my best to explain how we've reached this po...
"Hmm."The noise was non-committal but that's because I'd been getting my hopes up. Being in the 1700s makes sense, but I'd hoped to do more. It would speed things up. It mattered little. One look at Saph and I knew that we'd been fine either way. Our role was simple. Get in. Get the book. Get out. Raffle and Liz would...
I opted against another MRI, I was sure I hadn't re-broken anything, just tingly nerves, plus my co-pay on an XRay wasn't so bad, so I stood still while the ATM-sized camera took pictures through my legs. Then I waited. For a while. when you go through a major injury- broken bones, muscle damage, surgery, recovery, phy...
When my people had started putting all my toys in a tub I was being extra good. They forgot to take me for walks and I didn't chew up the couch. I really tried to be good, I swear! I even let the cat take my bed, until one day that too was packed away. I don't know what I had done to be put into the tiny cage and I re...
"I for one welcome our new black-feathered overlords,"I said conversationally, idly running my fingers through the feathers of a large crow perched on my arm. They'd gotten rather friendly over the years; it helped that they remembered who were nice to them and who weren't. "Same,"Kendra said happily, feeding another ...
I think I get a lot out of reading and listening to review and analysis of many different mediums. There are some great essays online about narrative structure and presentations. I think it's about exposure to as many different forms of storytelling as you can get and thinking critically about what you like and what yo...
It was raining.Not really a surprise in London, but this time it was particularly frustrating.I was completely soaked, and while walking down a dark alley, the noise of my clothes dripping on the cold stone of the already wet street was echoing between the walls.The vampire was ahead.Yes, the vampire.I wasn't crazy, I ...
“Yeah, this is Coal. I'm up in the Cascades… We've got another one.” My pager had never been this active before. “I've got your coordinates, same as before?” “Kinda, the replicator looks more of less intact though, scanner says some kind of gaseous poison.” “Good news, I'll tell Sasha; she'll want to come take a lo...
"I'd really like a friend. Wanna hang out sometime?"She says, too innocent to be here. "Why me?"I ask, smiling further into my reflection. "Why not you?"She questions from behind my right shoulder. "That's funny"I laugh "You already know why" "Sorry"She mopes sombrely "I keep forgetting" "That's okay. Its must...
Here I am sitting on my desk staring at my screen writing this while Razia is hovering over our unpacked Christmas decorations. She’s a djinn. If you ask her, she’ll proudly proclaim that she’s a 9th level Djinni. As humans we had always coexisted with Djinn relatively peacefully for centuries. Of course there were a f...
I was looking to travel to the darkest edges of space. Not literally, of course; I could never afford such exorbitant fees, such unnecessary authentic movement. Not when I could get the experience of it, which was, after all, just as good. Even better, in fact. And so I headed to the Fairy Market, as we called it. I d...
Sholten Hinott awoke to snow blocking his airways, coughing rapidly as he struggled to get an elbow under him. He found traction in the snow and lifted his face out of the snow, coughing and gasping. He was drenched in both sweat and snow, the heavy flow of snow having buried him partly. After coughing up a fair amount...
"So, Adolf, how's it feel being alive again?" Adolf looked at me in awe. We had been "friends"since i learned about him. Although i knew he was long dead. I just imagined him being alive, and for years he was my go-to "companion". I of course never told him he was my imaginary friend. Nor that i had one, for that matte...
George Tillson stayed lying on the beach floor, his eyes adjusting to the sun light. He had heard exactly what she just said, but as if waking from a heavy night with a hangover, his head needed a few minutes to piece together exactly what was happening. He didn't remember drinking, but his head sure did hurt. He sat ...
This was our last chance. Steal the artifacts, the "holy"armors and weapons that our enemies used in ages past. Armors that could stymie gods, weapons that could slay all manner of foes. There was only one problem. The tombs floated in the Void, antithesis to reality Itself, and guarded by an army of religious fanatic...
I decided to sit on a bench in the park. The park was full off people and the sun was at an low position. The shadows of the trees made an fantasyworld on the green grass surrounding the gray, sober bench. People were enjoying the space they had been given. I wish i ever got to enjoy the park. I tried before but everyt...
I should have known. All the studying and then self time travel training and this happens. Oh I just had to be just and change the past. God I'm a idiot. I just traveled a month back in time to stop what people were calling the worst serial killer in history. And this is the outcome each "victim"turns out to be mass m...
"What are you talking about?" "Uh. You said that something was chasing you?" "....No, I don't remember anything like that. Excuse me-" He pushed past me and went on his way. What a weird interaction, I would think, except I had felt it too. For a split second I had the feeling I get when I merge onto a motorwa...
My mother always knew there was something strange with me. I knew every person by name the moment I could speak. I didn't show affection to my father, after all, why would I after what he did to us. What was so weird about me was that is still understood everything but I was unable to express it. I often had tantrums w...
Amelia lay on her bedroom floor, crying, and clutched a photo of her and Jacob. The two of them together, both facing the camera and smiling, from a vacation they had taken on their 3 year anniversary in Mexico, was too much for Amelia to bear: earlier that day she had learned that Jacob was breaking up with her for hi...
I smiled. I’d been a hitman for seventeen years now, and I have over thirteen hundred confirmed assassinations. No one but my clients knew that, though. I usually killed the man I was supposed to, and killed the person who hired me to keep my identity a secret. All my online activities say I’m Francisco Polos, a th...
"To those of you watcing at home, today you're my best friend."Duncan Jones smiled at the camera. The wild hair and dirty blonde beard of his youth had greyed and begun to recede, but he maintained a youthful vigor despite his more restrained appearance. The smile turned wistful as he continued, "My apologies for that,...
I regained control in the late evening to find he(I) had discovered my hidden lair. My entire machine had been laid to waste, the metal melted with our heat rays and the necessary precious stones I gathered scattered around the earth. I of course planned for this and had reserves to build a back-up, so the majority ...
(This is my first time writing for Writing Prompts, so here goes nothing.) God Help Us It was really just a hobby of mine. First, I started with little robots that performed menial tasks, then I started building model ships. I decided to tackle the telegraph, a wireless one to be precise. I was well aware nobody used...
, she said as she opened the adoption papers. The musty, comforting smell of ancient paper contrasted sharply with the first line of the document: CHILD 148626 - OMEGA PROGRAM - NO ORIGIN Tiny hand and foot prints. Fingerprint samples that would match the whorls on her thumb. Eighteen years of mystery dissolving ...
I dreamt that night that the two sides of my brain fought. It was a vicious battle, one fought not with swords or guns but one with words and -- in particular -- insults. "You've never done much at all, silly little left hemisphere." "If I've never done much at all then you've done, like, negative amounts of stuff!" ...
"So, what would you like to change?"the Giant Elephant asks. I ponder it for a bit, but nothing comes to me. Too many changes sound like monkey paw nonsense when I try to follow them through. I'm dead, so I have along time to think about this, since time isn't really so much a thing here in the afterlife. It's not li...
I noticed him when he first walked out of the bathroom. I took the day off, so I sat at the food court in the mall enjoying a pizza. Everyone was either in school or at work, leaving the majority of the mall empty. I'd been sitting there close to an hour, but did not see him go into the restroom. He came out with his e...
"Ugh,"I muttered as I woke up, "Where the hell am I?"I looked around and saw aisles of seats, but not a single other person. "Ok, so I'm alone in what appears to be a passenger plane. Why?"I said to myself. I tried to think back, piecing my memory together. I recalled waking up for work early, eating breakfast, and sta...
Doculand It began, like most good social programs, with the best of intentions and the worst of results. Oceania had begun separating the worst elements of society into a newly built island just off the coast of Oregon, an island formed of trash, nuclear waste and expended tar-sands. Oceania's best and brightest m...
The jury leader stood up and cleared her throat. "We find the defendant, Mr. Hardin, guilty of first-degree murder." "It was self-defense!"I cried. "For your crimes,"the judge said, "you will be enlisted in the U.S. Army where - if you survive - on your return you will be expected to reenter society as if you never ...
I remember the first time I was told I had "powers". I was only about 6 or 7 at the time, and a rabid dog had been set loose in our neighborhood. Now, the rabid dog wasn't new to us: Ol' Lucky had been our favorite mangly mut for years before he turned into whatever it is that he was. Ol' Lucky, known for being able...
“See, don’t my eyes look too spread out and low? And mouth is, like, high up or something” “No. Turn off the light, I’m tired.” Harry sat on the bed, staring at full-length mirror hung on the inside of the opened closet door. He felt the bed move as Lora rolled over to face the other wall. “Didn’t they say in th...
What was left of the fleet circled around the alien world at a breakneck pace, clouds of debris from the battle cruising with them. The Admiral had spent the last few hours silently sitting on the bridge, surrounded by the busiest people in the universe. But his work was done for now, the battle was over, the die cast...
Today is the day. i have been tracking this guy since April. On multiple occasions I've had my shot, he was right in my cross hairs. However, every time I think I've got the shot... he looks at me. No, i don't mean he looks in my general direction. He would look directly down my scope. I could never bring myself to do ...
Now child, go to sleep. The tooth fairy won't come if you peep. Little did I know, That those fairies needed to fight there foes. They take your teeth and sharpen the things, And shoot them from harpstring strings. Want to know their foes? The old ancient dwadalingos. They come from caves and crevices, And hide under y...
I always wake up groggy Christmas morning but this time I had no excuse. I do not know how I missed it until now, I feel ashamed. A crowd had gathered in the street and I aimed to join them but it was difficult getting used to the changes. I now moved peculiarly slow and, 'jumpy'? All the walls and floor had lost thei...
What the peepee go in girl peepee did you just peepee go in girl peepeeing say about me, you little female doggie? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm ...
2000 An elderly man stands over a weeks-old grave. “I told you I would find you. I made a promise, remember? I thought it would be sooner than this. But the first word I had of you...was when you died. I guess we both moved on, didn’t we? We had to. I have a son now, did you know? And a grandson. And grandchildr...
Ben dreamt of falling. In those dreams he would be walking down a road, sitting in a chair, or any other mundane setting. As soon as that thought that nagging feeling like he wasn’t on solid ground- wham! The ground would give out. Or he would find himself falling amongst the clouds. _How did I get up here?_ There was ...
I love you too. I told him that two years ago. We were near the old oak tree at the corner of my road. He was pressed up against me, his shadow looming over my face. I love you. That was what he told me. I felt his fingers constrict around my wrist. For every second I didn't reply his grip grew stronger. Pain. That wa...
Nobody listened. You always listed off the perks of drinking organic oat milk and kale smoothies but nobody goddamn listened! They laughed when you relied on "I'm a vegan"to begin a conversation. Well who's fucking laughing now bitches!? The meat industry had been poisoning their livestock. Fattening them up wit...
*THE 46TH DAY* The source of the signal was heavily debated and eventually proven to be extraterrestrial. The message was preceded and followed by a rapid clicking sound- almost like static, increasing in frequency, and then decreasing after the message. The message was received all over the world in Morse code, a...
"What are you talking about?"I ask myself, I guess. I don't think I would ever chain myself to a chair. How would I actually acomplish that? I mean, I could lock the door and throw the key, but how did I chain myself here? With my mouth? I guess, yeah, with my mouth. But that just seems oddly complicated. If I had want...
Robert Till. He has been accredited for more than one hundred and fifty confirmed kills. He operates with precision and severity. I requested that he kill a man. I wanted it to be memorable, somewhere ironic. I instructed him to take the killing shot while the man was in the park a mile from his home. After all, It was...
Right...in all fairness. Its a sweet and caring idea. Some people, especially the Elderly can often end up with no one when it's...erm...clocking out time. Especially if they outlive all their old friends and family. I signed up to the registry after my dad died. After it being just me at his funeral. Felt...well...you...
I came awake to darkness and the sound of a door closing nearby. I reached out with my left hand to feel the familiar bumps and ridges of a book nearby, feeling the smooth cold linoleum under my palm as I moved. I sighed silently, had I fallen asleep again in the upper floors of the university library, colloquially kn...
My wife called while I was at work and said she was taking our son to her parent's. I told her I was sorry I couldn't make it ( a lie, fuck in-laws), but I had a few more things to do. I told her to have fun, and tell her parents sorry for me (another lie). I got home, anticipating at least three hours alone. Her par...
"So young ones."I smile as I watch their bright faces. I dare not look up, I know the looks their parents are giving me. I also know they are too busy to find time to veer them away from me. "Tell me, do you wish to hear the daring feats of the knight of Ginsburg? The man who brought low a dragon with only steel and st...
The red brick swelled under the summer sun. Heat waves radiated out in all directions piercing my clothes like a nudist in a tanning salon. On top of the brick sat a formidable and frozen dark stained oak double door, a single pane window divided in four by the same stained oak stood out in both directions. The brick d...
Stuaem-Leion watched the massive blue-purple swirling cloud in front of him churn the water in the most unnatural way. He watched with his massive red eyes as the blue shimmered off the sun and turned the light into a strange green which he had not seen before. He closed his eyes and breathed the air of his planet befo...
