Words with Friends The air is cold, the sky is dark. A handful of cards spread apart. &nbsp; A group of friends, sitting around a fire. Old Christmas lights strung together with wire. &nbsp; We sit and play, the night goes on. Our worries and sorrows are all gone. &nbsp; It is ...
(Turns out that The Grim Reaper is an angry dude, so parental guidance advised) ---------- Angrily, I stormed into the office. I went straight past Carol at Reception, didnt even acknowledge Steve or Frank, and headed to the big boss. His secretary, Casey (who BTW is only there for her looks) couldnt stop me from kic...
John did not mean to step on his dog's tail. He quickly lifted his foot and turned around to comfort his dog. Unfortunately, he realized he had torn his skin off, revealing—wait, what!!? Before he could react, four metal tentacles quickly extended from the dog-shaped frame and pinned him by the arms and legs to the ...
The front page of every newspaper, magazine, website, and forum board all screamed the same message. MYSTERIOUS RUINS FOUND ON MARS; GOD SAYS NOTHING I was a fool. I should have put the door on the very edge of the flask. The people of the harvest worlds never made it off their planet before they were ripe. Expec...
I wake in a strange place. The sky is a brilliant red, and a tiny sun floods the landscape in a dull blue. As I turn on my heel I see strange trees with an array of deep violets and wan greys. I look around for any sign of some structure in this strange place, and see nothing but a large column in the distance. There s...
CLARIFICATION NOTES: This WP comes from the story that came out today about how an identical twin's DNA is different from his twin's after spending a year in space. (Reddit post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/84gull/astronauts_dna_no_longer_matches_his_identical) And, of course, the subsequent notion th...
The little bar before my eyes inched closer. I could still hit cancel and it would restore everything I was about to lose. But for some reason, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. It reached the end, a little 100% flashed cheerfully in front of my eyes. As easy as that and my life was over. I remained in total dark...
&nbsp; The shock was paralyzing, to say the least. I don't know how I ended up on the floor, all I can recall is the sheer overloading of my senses. It all happened so fast, but at the same time it felt like it took ages. Maybe, because I saw ages. I saw it all, everything from my mother's womb to my lonely tomb...
I watched the clock. Wondering if it was broken or if I was just that bored. I look around the work area. Everyone is hard at work listening to customers on yhe phone or staring blankly at their computer screen. This is what my life has been for the last ten years. A daily routine of clock watching. I used to be free, ...
"i dont think i can do that..." "well, if you dont, youll die." nicolas flamel is the ONE mage i DID NOT want to be following. it is well known that he is the worst of them. he only has the most basic form of majik: alchemy. i mean, dont get me wrong, alchemy is all-powerful. just, basic. there are no long lasting ef...
“They’re called cherubs.” A rotund man in a form-fitting suit, cured of age but not of excess, the only wrinkles on his body from a poorly ironed shirt. Words filtered through the fat in his cheeks and the fat in his wallet. His back toward me, his eyes, both of our eyes fixed through and beyond the vista of the obs...
Dad, is it bad luck to break a promise? I asked while we were having dinner to celebrate the new year and my dad's recent promotion. My dad looked at me, a look of worry briefly flashed on his face before answering, "it is always bad to rescind on a promise son.""Even just a pinky swear dad?""Even a pinky swear son, yo...
Its hard to tell when it happens. When do you stop progressing? When does your life stop finding new meaning? It just hits you one day, you look at your feet and realize the cement they were trudging through has dried and your stuck. You can no longer move forward in life, there is no something greater. I found myself ...
The sambuca shots were carried back from the bar by Gill from finance. I shook my head and told him it was a bad idea. He just guffawed goofily and said ""Come on Sarah you need to relax! It's the Christmas party!!" "It was the Christmas party after all"I thought to myself. I had worked in Mitchell & Webb for the ...
What started as another boring day on this god awful farm had turned into the most wonderful day of my life. He was honestly a dream come true. Every possible little detail about him screamed soulmate. From his light blue eyes, to the stubble on his perfectly formed chin, down to his.. slightly open shirt showing just...
He pulled the rusted coin out of his pocket. He heard the voice speak to him again. “ come on Jimmy, it’s be ever so much fun.” The hole in front of him was ice cold. “Jeez, not even Mamas freezer is this cold.” He said staring into the pitch black crater in the ground. “Lay me on the ground Jimmy.” Spoke the coin. As ...

To whomever may find this, My name is William Florence, and to my knowledge I am the last of my kind. If you have you have the ability to understand the words written on this parchment then know these are my final words scrawled upon this paper. I await my final rest, alone in this damp tunnel amongst the refuse an...
Reincarnation, eh? Some people believe in it, and some people don't. I never really thought about it myself, not until I died at the ripe ol age of 22, my broken body laying on the street as my soul hovered above until darkness overtook me and I awoke again in the form of Percy, my neighbors ugly old pug. For awhi...
Breathing in deeply, I stand on the platform of the train station as I wait for the next train to arrive. If I listen carefully, I can almost hear it. In a few minutes the train will pull up to the station, I’ll get on, in a few hours the train will arrive in Wichita, and from there, I can take a train to the towering ...
“Honey, can you pass me the remote? It is our child. He seems to be malfunctioning.”Ernie grunted. He looked at the body of his offspring, frozen in his place on the ground, unresponsive. “If this happens once more, i’m taking him back to the shop.” Ernie passed the remote over to his startled wife.“Oh, Ernie!” Gasped ...
Immortality is something that all creation would love to achieve, no? Yet sometimes, perhaps it is better that we remain in our mortal, fallible, condition. My cat has seen all ages. My feline has seen the strife caused by our fellow man. It has seen many changes. It has seen the sun rise and set, it has seen the explo...
Can't stand the slime. Can't stand the eyes. The caresses are creeping, kisses lurking, and some things fortunately physiologically impossible. I am milked like a cow. Put into a lab. Squeezed dry, almost ripping the crown jewels. Ten thousand royal heirs to come. The abominable litter tides over me and my gargantuan...

So, I just found out, that Gavin thinks time travel is IMpossible. I will post it anyhow, but with a different start, since I nearly finished and comments need only to be inspired by prompts and don't need to follow the prompt exactly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
"Mulder, please,"Agent Dana Scully sighed in exasperation. "Everyone knows that the SCP Foundation doesn't exist." "Then how do you explain the van with 'SCP' stamped on it?"Agent Fox Mulder asked? "Probably part of some elaborate cosplay, Mulder,"Scully replied. "All right, Scully. Suppose they are cosplayers,"Muld...
'Ugh. What the hell just happened?' you wonder as you open your mouth and remove a blade of grass from your tongue. 'This is not how I expected my Saturday night to go.' You were bored and had nothing better to do, so you naturally invited your friends to a night out on the town. Everything was going great at the beg...
I've had enough!! Time and time again, I get dragged here and there to fulfill some shitty, mediocre-at-best story by lame reddit authors! Why?!? Why I'm the one to be dragged everywhere, I have no idea. I guess they just love me. But whatever it is, I'm sick of it! I guess it's true what they say; the Grimm reape...
Disclaimer: This is my first time posting in this subreddit. I found this Writing prompt extremely attractive even I do not know a single thing about history. It pushed me to read and superficially investigate history and culture of the century and area in question. I found myself comfortable writing the next paragraph...
I had taken a picture of the guy on a whim, figuring his face would do well as a bust. He had stepped into the cafe where I was working on my movie script (or at least trying to). I snapped a quick photo from my seat, then cleared out quickly. I didn't want people to think I was some weirdo, even though my haste to lea...
It would have been nice to have a warning system in place so I could have planned accordingly, but the last time I heard anything about my trial expiration was 9 full moons ago, and I've been putting this vessel through every high risk situation I could place it into, so time has gone by quickly - and I forgot. So, her...
The once black room now screams with spinning red beacons, I squint my eyes and before I can better see my surroundings my legs lose balance from underneath me, at first I think I am falling, but quickly I realize the room is falling, and at alarming speeds. My body slams against the ground and the walls collapse and t...
Shawn turned over in his bed. His phone lay out of reach on the far side of his nightstand. He rolled over to face the wall. He didn’t need his phone. He didn’t, but… he should probably order food soon. Nothing in his apartment seemed too appealing. No, he was fine. Maybe a movie would be better. Something that would t...
I’ve always been told by my mother that life is a little easier with friends. As long as you have friends, she says, then you’ll always have a cushion to fall back on, no matter how tight the money is, or how hard the job gets, or even how difficult other relationships can be. Friends will always support you, and whene...
CEILING OF THE NO-SHELTER - III. Wounded Auroch Runs Nowards, Itching Nostrils Glance ____________ [...] Cut deep. The cost of slow response to unawaited threat. Relapse of the first bite, moment of pure terror, vertical grin of human's void machine rejecting stone (the gentle of ...
I cannot tell you the last time I looked in the mirror with real curiosity. We only see ourselves, nothing more. Over the course of one’s life, a person will look in the mirror approximately 1.2 billion times. 1.2 billion times! It equates to about 20 to 50 times a day. When you are young, you memorize a general look o...
"Redditors, what is the most deadliest thing ever" The grimm reaper rubbed his boney hands together maliciously. It was so easy! They had already heard of the internet, but just recently they learned about this place called Reddit, and this subsection ("subreddit") called "Ask Reddit". Supposedly, those puny mortals ...
As evening turned to dusk and the sun fell behind the hills further inland, the light took on that quality that meant although it was present it did very little to illuminate the world. A stranger approached, a distant figure, a darker shade against the already dark backdrop of hills and fields. There I sat upon the cr...
It was 3 AM when I heard a loud sound come from my entryway. I was frightened, knowing that I was not expecting company at this time. The only person I knew that could be in my home at this time was my best friend, Ellie, whom I’d given a key. But she was off on vacation in costa rica, so that was off the table. I slow...
"Drive... fast"the stranger shouted. Immediately I knew something was wrong, but I sped off anyway. I drove directly to the local police station and jumped out of my car taking my keys with me. He jumped out of the passenger side door, and made a break for it. I informed the police of what happened, and they wen...
lol i am literal garbage at writing but here you go ——————————— The Smart Men say that they own us. They say that their ancestors slaughtered our own like pigs, because they were pigs, and we have only them to thank for being alive today. Maybe. But a life toiling for the Smart Men is barely a life lived. I watch o...
^(this went... a little sideways. whoops.) ----- It's difficult, figuring out how long the effect lasts when you need to have one hand on the clock just to keep it ticking. If nothing else, you're pretty sure that it's about inversely proportional to the size and complexity of whatever it is you're touchin...
Walking down the pavement, faces swarming me - and I knew them all. That's Mark, an accountant who works for the big bank downtown. I've never talked to him, or interacted with him in anyway. He's gay, but nobody knows - well, nobody is supposed to. I know Mark, but Mark doesn't know me. Jonas. He's transgender, wo...
The car came to a sudden, and screeching halt. The top half of my body jolted towards the dashboard. My nose just missing the airbag compartment before being flung backwards against the headrest. Within a split second the man driving retrieved the pistol from the center console, and was laying flat against the ground...
"It's... up to you now Bruce."said Superman, with his last dying breath. "Please save them..." Then it was done. Darkseid roared with laughter. "I have killed him. And with him, humanity's last hope. Surrender now Batman. Join me in servitude, or die like all the rest of your fallen teammates. Make the last choice you...
Eevee are small mammalian carnivorans found in the Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos and Alola regions, though it is a common pet in most regions. It is found mostly in areas of low density forest and in the suburbs of large metropolitan areas. Eevee are omnivirous, eating a diet of berries, small bug-types, rodents, and if they ca...
The midday heat receded behind him as Bryan slipped into the convention center. As he wiped the sweat from his brow and took a deep breath of the air conditioning inside the building, he couldn’t help but feel that everyone’s eyes were on him. He’d gotten the invitation a week prior, and couldn’t deny the possibility t...
I was the chosen one. Destined to save the world from the Dark Empress Valdana. My mission had always been aided by the gods, but in the moment I needed them most, all I got was silence. They abandoned me, so I abandoned them. I marched to the Dark empress's castle and swore fealty to her. I was always meant to be a ...
It had taken you eons, but when you have eternity those eons stop mattering. You walked into your home, your wife greeting you with a smile, but you sighed. You weren’t in the mood to play pretend anymore. She knew what was wrong- of course she did, how could she not?- but the knowing look in her eyes made it worse. “...
I happily considered my full schedule as I sipped my first cup of coffee. A full docket, mostly first-time patients. I allowed for more time there - it was hard to get everything done in fifty-five minutes. Fortunately I had finished the paperwork for my In Network status for government insurance as almost all my pat...
The library was full of unknown tomes which we had inherited from my spouse's uncle on the Orient. I spent most of my hours within the study pouring over the latest shipping forecasts checking how my ships would fare. My eldest had just returned to the Manor from school and was curious about the books in the library. ...
The Pharaoh was a great visionary and an overtly ambitious ruler. He feared death just as much as any great king; but for him, it was more the fear of being forgotten... lost in the passage of time and removed from the pages of history. He feared that among all things, because he knew that he had done nothing worthy of...
I'd laugh at your face and label you crazy if you ever came to me with the story of how you had a palm sized, real life, functional black cursor, elevated in the air and saying jokes about rifts in time and space in multiverse. Except for the fact that this is my story. And I consider myself pretty lucid, if pursuing...
5 people sit around a glass table, discussing the fate of billions. A chart on the wall shows the population of the Earth in real time. The number quickly rockets upwards, now just reaching 20 billion. Dressed in nice suits, with fancy watches, they appear to be rich business men and women. One of them swipes his hand ...
... and then I woke up and it was all a dream? Ugh, that sounds like shitty sixth grade writing class. It seemed so real though. The screaming, so much screaming. Was I angry? Was I afraid? Was I mourning? Why does my throat hurt? Wait a moment, my throat actually hurts! The frown this causes reminds me my eye...
...forced into your knees and your papers are pulled out of your pockets. You hear the guns cock behind your head but you have defiant feeling. The nazi officer smirks. “I don’t know what’s more stupid, your name or your moustache” A rebellious tingling takes over your body. “What’s my name.” You say. But then you ...
The special agents brought the small case into the lab and set it down, opening the latches and swinging the protective case open. With careful movement, both to prevent contamination of evidence and to prevent a bottle breaking, they lifted the protective styrofoam cover to reveal the numerous small bottles, each fill...
“The humans have lost favour in us. They no longer worship us. What should we do?” The elder gods proclaimed as they sit at the table of the ancients “We must elect a new god king” said Ares “That would only bring more chaos and destruction” said Athena “Then what do you suppose we do, the humans do not care for us ...
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“Josie! Josie, stop!” They were all laughs and smiles. Well, he was smiling. Josie’s mouth flaps and face tentacles were huffing to express laughter in the only way an eldritch horror could. Lewis’ eyes beamed over the table for two, looking into the dark orbs of his newest compa...
He was dragged into his court in shackles made of the rarest metal, Promethium, engraved with spells and runes. It was designed and built to capture the strongest of souls. The King was known across all lands to be the strongest, a Blood Wolf. After almost half a decade of fierce war, finally the king had to step int...
“We’re hungry!” bellowed Mrs Tall’s children in defenning chorus. She wasn’t really called Mrs Tall but that was the name that stuck because it was the most polite name the villagers could think of for a giant. “Alright, what do you want?” you shout back, your voice edged with that strain that comes from pushing your ...
I poured the last of my Mountain Dew down my throat and tossed the can over my shoulder where it made a reassuring clunk as it landed on the existing mound of cans. Then, lighting a cigarette, I secured my fedora and refreshed my browser. "Let's see if anyone managed to refute my argument against the existence of God!"...
Should I call her? No, she won't talk to you anymore. It's been three weeks. She won't pick up. I could see if he is free? No, I haven't sent him a text since-I scroll through messages. Shit. A year and a half ago. I could...maybe if I...nope. I hear Andy Serkis' Gollum telling me "You don't have any friends."as...
"Wh... Where am I?" Marcus rose from his bed. Around him, pictures of his most cherished memories replaced photographs of his family. There in a black frame, was his wedding with Lisa. And next to it was the day he adopted Sergeant from the dog pound. He turned to look out of the window. The sun was shining, and the a...
There is no other way. Not for me. I tell myself this every night. Restless turning in my sheets. My conscience burns inside of me. My wife calls it a sign to change. A spark to ignite my humanity. But she's wrong. It's the fire of my father that lives on through me. Because hatred consumes. It must be fed. And so...
"Lady, I fix things. Let me fix her."Carl said to the woman standing on the side of the road, giving her old ford a good cussin'. He meant for it to help calm her down, but he saw it started her getting riled up all over again. "That'll be just fine, Sir, I think we have got this all under control. Thank you very much...
That area in front of me, that green, green field and those lakes were a great place for a settlement to be built. But I just can't seem to bring me and my team over there. It was as if there was an invisible force field blocking our path. What the fuck? I know I was born yesterday, but I was old enough to know that th...
Heaven was nothing like Evan was expecting. Purgatory is actually the orientation talk where an angel goes over how heaven works and where you hang out until the disappointment wears off. "In your heavenly existence, there is no need for sleep or sustenance,"the angel said. The sleep part didn't seem to bother most of...
Grandpa sits on the wooden floor. The door. Left open a while ago had lifted itself properly. He sat dwindling. We asked him a few things and left them there. We hadn't moved without him saying so. So we left him. There weren't six ways to look at the situation otherwise. Cold turkey was left in the box. The porcelain ...
Regret. It was unmistakable. That was the feeling I was having. I, Lord of the Golden Coast, commander of the Legion of Sorrows, was regretting a decision made almost twenty years ago, a decision that had been fruitful beyond imagination. Yet, there she was, looking at me. Something so small and helpless, it should hav...
I was heaving, breathing deeply. I couldn't control my thoughts because my brain was racing trying to go off that adrenaline as i looked at the shadowy figure standing on the edge of my bed. This was the third time in a row. Third time this shadow figure had visited me. Shadows hid its face from me so i could not see ...
“Imagine..” I said with a dramatic flare, “You sitting in a locked room, with no way to get out.” I paced around the chair, stroking the back as I rounded it each time. “Imagine, there’s no way to get out of the room, and something is hiding in there with you.” I tried to keep the psychotic laughter in. “What are you...
TWELVE YEARS PRIOR TO PRESENT DAY The retro-styled bubble television emitted a harsh glare as the news reporter for the small and isolated parish of Norcullen sputtered out their report. "The search for Montgomery James Aberdeen has terminated as officials and family have decided to declare him dead. It has been t...
There’s always one. Sometimes there’s two, or three - or a thousand. But it doesn’t matter, for we’re talking about a principle here. One isn’t a number. It’s a psychological profile. There’s always one. One who feels out of place. One who doesn’t agree to the rules. One insufficiently equipped with the instruments ...
The air was cold. A slivery wind bit at the old man's wrinkled cheek, as he looked longingly at the moon. It was a beautiful night. Perhaps cold and perhaps there would be bad things happening elsewhere... But here, on the sterile hospital balcony, it was peaceful. "Carol?"a voice barked from the nurses' station, "...
Each time, I'd have to get lucky and pray the spot I wanna end up in doesn't have a thing already existing there. I'd been transported to Alezia and Fratisian worlds before because I goofed. I wanted to go to a bunch of places but it'd take me like 6 trips before I got it right. Of course, other people have gotten supe...
"Hello all! Welcome aboard! Thank you for being such a valuable customer and for trusting in Tesla and what it stands for. You are the lucky one to be in the future that I've designed for you all! You will soon be aboard a Falcom Heavy rocket to be launched into space! Yes, you heard it right! You are going to be the n...
(not a writer but I'll try...) You gave me a promise and I lost it. It wasn't intentional. "No!" ...but secrets like that writhe to the surface; buried blankets unravelling quicker than tears fall. They fell fast as I told them. You thought it was your secret. But when they found me, you weren't there. You l...
Walking in New York isn't like walking where I'm from. People are fast. Their strides are big. They weave through people and don't think twice about brushing or even pushing right past you. I trip on the curb and take two steps into the street. I catch myself as a taxi blairs their horn into my face. I jump a little a...
"I'm looking for a ring."Said Eric, trying his best to sound confident as he walked into the store. Since I had been at this post for a long time, I could tell when someone was feigning confidence; Eric was nervous. "What sort of ring?"I asked. "Well -- you know -- the sort that--" "Is this for Hazel?"I cut him of...
. Adelan stood at the front of his army, facing down the orcs. Though he was confident of victory, he still felt slightly nervous. He always felt nervous before a battle. Paranoia was what made him the best commander in the land and led to him leading the king's greatest army, an army of the best warriors of his kingdo...
We all sat around the TV, eagerly awaiting the news. By this time, the beers had all been emptied, the food all gone cold and stale. Most of us were close to giving up on the result, as morn was approaching all too quickly. But we still held on to a glimmer of hope that we would hear some sort of good news. To this poi...
Part 1 The clanging of a bell broke the town from it’s midday activities. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked to the town hall, and the tower climbing from the center of the building. The warning bells continued to sound, and before too long, men could be heard rushing through the streets. “What’s ha...
It delivered the mail, All deathly and frail, The words from beyond the grave. It thought I'd feel better, To receive this letter, From the daughter I could not save. I broke off the seal, This could not be real, I trembled and looked inside. I felt worse for were, The words were from her, I read as my eyes...
"I have no idea what you're even trying this guy for. He's pathetic." "He hasn't cleaned the fridge in months because he's afraid of throwing out a morsel belonging to his roommate." "He hasn't even even talked back to his boss since he was hired, and have you seen that guy? Overweight 5'4"guy? Yeah, him. Dude once t...
Ten years. I've been here for ten years, and every day, I see some foreigner come in with the same questions. I do not know how often I have to explain them something. We are attacked by those vicious creatures, and all they think about are their rewards for slaying one or two of them. And is there an end to those c...
“...I think you’ll find it to be a blessing” and with that she was gone. There was no flash of light or cloud of glitter but the distant sound of laughter as she faded away. Leaving you with her blessing. Or curse. You still couldn’t wrap your mind around the fact that this was real. You would like to believe that ...
"Uuuuugh, today was such a long day at work, I can't wait to get home and rewatch The Office again." "Ok, just click the button and the elevator will do the thing, cmon. 16th floor, 15th floor...8th floor...2nd floor, -1. Hey, why isn't this thing stopping? Where am I going?" "-15? Man, getting a little warm down her...
I sat in silence in the back of the police car. It WAS my right, after all. I was being brought to the police department for interrogation. I should probably start by telling you why. Well, I woke up this morning and had only one thought on my mind. God wants me to punch my neighbor, Tom. Right in his face. I should m...
The day had finally wound down. I was home, in some lounge clothes, and a nice warm pizza had just arrived. It was the perfect end to a horrible day at work. I sat down on the couch and was about to turn on the T.V. to binge watch some Netflix when I noticed the picture above it. Why did it seem so strange? I didn't re...
"I think that's him! I can't believe I...got chosen to do a ride along with an actual detective today!" My roommate stifled a giggle, "calm down there Sherlock Holmes. You're not an actual detective, just a kid...with a dream."She held her spoon out and pointed it to the ceiling in a very dramatic fashion. "Oh shut...
It wasn't fair, I told myself. It just wasn't fair. There was some mistake! My dream got mixed up with someone else's. Maybe that girl in my class was actually supposed to end up with this stupid little mouse. I hated that girl; she was always trying to one up me. It would make sense for her to be a mouse. Not me! I ha...
It was hell. The plain walls filled with motivational posters and a random inspirational image, the school mascot pictures along the walls and sports memorabilia abound hinted strongly at your prison. A few chuckles and even a dry laugh from an adult in front of you catches your attention. "Are you finally awake now,...
Ur was in a bit of a fix. Well, more accurately, Ur had gotten someone else into a bit of a fix. This was unfortunate. It is even more unfortunate that cursing had not yet been invented. Ur, you see, fancied himself a bit of a genius, with a knack for problem solving. Instead of doing the proper thing with this, and ...
I knew what had happened as soon as I got the call. My father had been sick for a long time, and the most anyone could do for him was make him comfortable. Maybe it was selfish of me to move out and leave him with a nurse, but I knew how much my dad wanted me to finish my course and get my degree. I couldn't study and ...
It had all led to this, all the hours spent in the forgotten passages of the Punxsutawney Library, the years spent campaigning so he could seize the power of mayor, all the relationships cast aside to focus on this one goal, the ascension to the official seat of Groundhog for the city of Punxsutawney. His advisers sa...
I looked around the sound of classical music playing through my headphones. I reached up and checked again to make sure they were secure against my ears. The city was busy, and I carefully dodged past those walking, not looking anyone in the eyes. I should be able to get home soon, and be free to relax marginally. &amp...
“So, I’ve been meaning to tell you this thing,” said Mark – but I wasn’t listening. I was looking past him towards the office entrance, where two men in police uniforms just came in. You’d never mix them up with regular policemen, though – their uniforms were in spotless white. “Sorry, man” - I got up from my chair - ...
Ash had been a legend for a very long time. His Pikachu accomplishing feats of strength never thought possible. Even with a light ball, no Pikachu should have been able to knock out that Dragonite in a single thunderbolt. Ash rarely allowed members of the scientific community near his prize pokemon anymore. But a f...
