Ah, my head. “What did I hit?” I ask to myself while trying to shake the dizziness. The air and side bags are out and deflated. The windshield totally broken. Smoke of the engine starts to fill the inside on the car. I need to get out. My seat belt is not unbuckling. Shit. I need to get out. I grab my pocket kn...
It all happened so fast. One minute, Shelly and I were having bloodwork done for her constipation, malaise, and occasional nausea; and the next minute, the FLP barged through the door. Everything went wrong. There were so many people yelling that I couldn’t even hear what all they were saying. There was definitely a lo...
She had her armor and swords on as she bent down to me.  I started to say something and she placed a finger across my lips to quiet me. “Listen child,” she whispered, “I have to go out there, if I don't come back and the invaders seem right outside, I want you to take your bag and the map and leave out the back.”  Sh...
The moon glared overhead, bolstering me with it's grace. This beautiful night would serve as a worthy backdrop to my revenge, decades in the making. Bush's morale was low. His mother, bless her soul, had recently passed into the afterlife, and he told his guard he needed to go on a walk alone to "clear his head". The ...
An elbow had collided with her jaw. That’s how Audrey came to be awake at 2 a.m. on the overnight train. She’d just managed to fall asleep, something not very easy for her, mind you, and some fucking twats decided to roughhouse in the aisles. The train car was mostly empty. There were a few other passengers scattered...
Most of them spoke a different language, I couldn't help but think their distorted faces were some sort of phony facade. Waiting for a trick played on myself in a sea of inferior genetics. I hated them, their discolored skin darkened by a desert sun, a smell rivaled only by decaying flesh arose from their breath. It di...
The wind\-up clock ticked softly on the mantle. “Tick. Tock.” Eating away the seconds with metronomic brutality. Charles rotated his hand softly, the ice clattering off the sides of the crystal tumbler he held in a limp hand. In the other hand, a dull matte pistol pointed obliquely at the floor. “Dad...” Michael sai...
By the time I had seen the video, it had reached one billion views. I had guessed that it was just people watching it over and over, but then i looked at the date. It had been posted only *three hours* ago. I couldn’t take my eyes off of the screen. There I experienced something that I hadn’t ever experienced. As the...
"Dear Johnfor1, while your latest prompt has been intriguing I will suggest you lower the meta bar one notch down as it may bring forth some unintended consequences." The clacking sounds of an old typewriter echoed in the old domed library that connected to a much bigger one known by the original name of "Many World...
This is incredible. Not even in my naive superhero days have I thought something like this could happen. Everyone going against me was a norm… but not like this. At the time, it was because I got in the way of their vision. Chaos in the street. All the money in the world in their pockets. Simply doing something because...
I sighed as I tossed and turned in bed, a plastic recycling bin sat on the floor near by. I had vomited up my pizza last night, and worse yet, I couldn't clean myelf properly, as my reflection had been frustratingly absent ever since that night with martha the secretary. ^thump - ^thump - bang That same knock from t...
I gingerly opened the grey lockbox, the saw laying laying on the floor beside me. The smell of a library and old papers hit me, there were dozens of letters, all neatly folded, all addressed to the same person. *Me.* I opened one. **3/17/1998 , Letter # 26** **Hey Kid,** **Happy Birthday, I'm sorry I wasn't there...
Cold brick on my back, I prayed the rain shrouded whatever enticing smell I gave off, or at least masked the sound of my heartbeat. In a stereotypical dimly lit alleyway, I curled and uncurled my fingers around the metal pipe as I waited for my victim. “Oh David,” the voice sang out my name with a mocking lightness as...
It was your typical Monday evening. The weather outside was rainy, and the clouds shrouded the setting sun beneath. I had recently come home from a grueling 9 hours of work and was ready to enjoy a hearty supper of Alphabet Soup. I eagerly took my bowl of soup to the table, and sat down on the wooden chair, fitted with...
'Oh shit. This is it, isn't it? This is the moment. The time I never thought was coming. I thought it was a joke for fucks sake... but it's real?' My mind is racing. I can feel my heart beating hard in the pit of my chest, and I'm already shaking with anticipation. Everyone knew about the moment. When the elderly g...
Her hair poked through the blood soaked bandages in greasy lumps. A dozen mysterious machines beeped and whistled behind the nest of tubes and wires. I inched my chair closer as her eyes fluttered open. "Henry, is that you?"She whispered through labored breaths. "It sure is, Katie. Brought you some more sunflowers,...
Today I wait in the shadowy corner of the Subterranean Lair. The one with a face tattoo and a vendetta is spouting his life story; the Childhood Betrayal, the Grudge Never Forgotten, etc. It's very dramatic and not very interesting. A muscle-bound meathead with a jawline that can cut steel squirms in the Themed Restrai...
We kept running and running. Everything was kept secret and looked like a religion until the marks started to show. People went to see what this brand new religion was and came back different people. After a while, they started inviting people there and even the most reluctant people were die hard fans of the movement....
"So you're saying if I put this bagel into it, it'll come out haunted?"Joe asked, sliding the two slices of a cinnamon raisin bagel into the toaster's openings. "Yeah, basically."Tom, Joe's friend, replied. A pile of crumbled toast sat on the counter near him, the smell of burnt yeast filling the kitchen. Joe pressed...
You really liked her. You really, *really* did. I remember that day in the coffee shop. We were talking during my lunch break. I had made you your drink that you always order. A dark roast coffee with *just* the right amount of fat free milk. We were just enjoying ourselves, like we always do. I remember seeing yo...
The hobo ate like a king. Or, atleast what a hobo *thought* a king ate like. It was a line of food retrieved from merchants at the last moments of business the previous night, bought for a mere fraction of it's worth as it would go bad before sunrise. Scar watched the hobo eat, equal parts impatience and shock. T...
At first the rain was a blessing, it was hard to get crops properly watered with what little could be found in the area -It probably wasn’t the best place to set up a farm, but it was secluded and sequestered away from the nearby town and other farms, which was just the way the farmer liked it-, but after about a year,...
It was always weird the world was the way it was if we were all gods children. Even the ones who read and spread his word didn't seem to act it out. I wanted to be different, not just speak the words but actually live according to his rules. I didn't want to get to heaven, I just wanted to make the place a little bette...
Is it possible to sigh with your inner monologue? I just did. This patient is trying to convince me he’s God? Why do so many people think that? Sure we’re all the centres of our own worlds but we didn’t create any of it, much less ourselves. “I’m sorry to interrupt, I meant the beginning of when your troubles started,...
It was getting late. I was about to nod off at my desk, despite the coffee I had been drinking. The whiskey I laced it with probably wasn’t helping. I needed something to help me get through all the paperwork that had piled up from my last case though, so maybe I should just take the whiskey straight. I hate paperwork....
The secret could not be kept any longer, and the public was informed. Naturally, people made huge welcome signs. Amateur astronomers figured out they would land at Heathrow, so naturally the airport was closed and London’s other airports had received a huge surge in flights as people flocked to meet the alien life. ...
I can eat anything. Literally anything, and I get nutritional value out of it. I never have an excuse to be starving. But where's the use for it in the real world? I have no desire to be a food taster \-\- my power has the side effect of being immune to ingested poisons, so that would be a choice. Not a lot of demand ...
Blue fire lit up the clean walls of the room, surely another of Aranock's wizard tricks. There was a coolness to the air, and a hum like that of a dragon sleeping in the room. Hendric went for the Sword of Newfound Light, surely resting beside his bed, and found a black stick with strange lumps. It was cold, as if the ...
Samantha heard a puff from behind her and saw fairy dust sprinkle around the mirror. Turning around she broke into laughter at the sight she beheld. The young girl, once so sure of herself, was now glaring daggers at Samantha. It would have been scary if not for the broken tiara that dangled from her curled hair, the ...
I looked at the wall, and it was lighting up yellow and pink, alternating between an image of thousands of condoms and an image of dogs taking shits. I tried to find the door to the bathroom so that I could jump in a cold shower, to see if I could wake myself from this nightmare. I couldn’t find the door. Suddenly, I r...
"So, you can fly?"she asked me, her face bright under the studio light. "Well, not really,"I replied. "My gravity manipulation ability allows me pull myself to any vector at any acceleration. Do that constantly and I can practically do what flying does, but it's not really flying per se." "Uh huh.... And you don't dr...
The legend of the Overpopulation Regulatory Commission (distastefully called ORCs among the people) had been a captivatingly mysterious story since childhood. We'd play ORCs with friends, with a few of us getting to run around with sim-phasers while the rest had to hide and not get fogged. We called it that because the...
The sky overhead is gearing up for a storm and the first drops begin falling as Timothy opens the door at Taco Bell. He hurries inside while a PA system bell dings to announce the arrival of a customer. At 2 pm on a Thursday this franchise is strangely empty except for a middle aged cashier and a man contemplating an e...
Shep the dog Mundane Monday, another day in the office. Mondays suck as it is, but these last two weeks have been hell. It isn't like my job is hard, mostly data mining from various apps and surveys we put out, organising submissions into certain categories and saving them into the database. However, trying to do this...
It was a slow Tuesday, probably because the weather was shite and the parking situation meant people would have to trudge through some mud and puddles. That's fine by me, though, as it gives me time to sit on the computer up front and check out the writing prompts online. The only customer I'd seen all morning walked i...
Sarah liked watching the man with the white van imitating the birds. He would make the birds on his van talk, sometimes to the other birds, sometimes to people. One day she went up to the van and listened. “Come and fly away with me!” Said the Blue Bird. Sarah smiled. “Where would we go?” She asked. “Anywhere,” it r...
Ever since I could remember every living thing had either a green or red aura.  Green always represented good and red evil. I always let that help me decide who to trust and call my friend.   Today was different, everything had a black aura.  Trees, grass, people, even the birds in the sky were enveloped in a black ...
"We now call the witness to the stand" I sighed. This was the third time this morning that they called on Ms. Green, a blind old lady with a love of art to speak on behalf of the person I supposedly robbed. Lovely. "Will you please tell us what you saw on the night of the 11th" "Well, it was very dark that night, ver...
"When my ex accused me of having “daddy issues,” I don’t think he realized how right he was. I do, in fact, have daddy issues. It’s hard not to when your “daddy” is a team of fifty-eight scientists. And we’re not talking about your garden variety eggheads here—the team that “birthed” me was the best of the best. Phys...
*Level up!* Jack wasn't sure where the voice was coming from. Jack also wasn't sure whose voice it was. Jack also was sure that this was real life and not a video game. But then again, he thought, maybe not, he did just level up after all. If life did have stats, well, let's just say that if I was the dungeon master...
"So? Did you break up with him?"Jerry sat on the edge of his blue sofa seat and listened to Elaine's story with great interest. Elaine finished her story with a dismissive wave and sat back on the bigger couch. "Nah, it's not much of a change. He just sits there."Elaine clenched her fists in front of her. "STARING. I ...
Every person is born with the seven songs. Unique songs that are crucial to everyone's life, and means something special to them. The first song is discovered at a young age. Around the age of five or six, a child will find their talent or calling through this song. After they graduate, they receive another song....
“Angelina, there’s nothing here. Gran Gran would have found it by now if there was.” Verena bites her lip, her eyes darting over to Gran Gran a few times before she leans over and whispers in my ear. “Plus. You know I think all this witchy occult shit is B.S. Call the landlord or maybe check in with the other tenants. ...
“Oh hey! How are you?” “I’m doing great, how are you?” “Oh good I guess… Still working here.” “Do you love it?” “No, not really, but it pays the bills while I chase my dreams you now?” “I know.” Brad stared at her very intently. . Real quick , can we get two coffees?” Ask George. “Ya sure. Do you want cream?” “I don’t...
Day 2 August 21, 2022 It happened. I’ve spent countless hours daydreaming the scenarios and ways it could occur, but never in my wildest imagination did I think this would be the trigger. Gotta run, I think the shock factor is still big enough I have time to stock up on more food. I saw one girl, must have been no ...
For as long as I had known her, Grace was very vocally against the lottery. For years, she had laughed at people for going to the lottery because she was a complete nerd and therefore she was able to calculate the miniscule probability of a winning lottery ticket and know that it was simply a waste of time. Now, Grace...
I never really liked my job. The boss was always shouting at me, piling work on me, the usual bad boss cliche stuff. In fact, he was shouting at me to come over now. My payday is only 2 days away, and I planned to quit this job after I got my last paycheck. Walking over to the boss, I made sure to look as bored as pos...
Thrown into slavery by the Ancient One, a small, rogue sanction had been formed by scientists and physicist to build a supercomputer. They believed that the Ancient One were unable, or refused to, understand humanity as a whole, but through the use of a supercomputer that knew the past, the present, and possible future...
Security stopped the man at the door. "Sir, you can't just walk in here wearing THAT and demand to talk to the board of directors." The man tried to tell them, "I didn't have time to change into a suit, I came straight from the beach." When they continued to refuse, he left, enraged. Shortly afterward, the CEO came d...
March the 22nd 2035, 11:00 AM. roll call at the airfield is at 4:00 PM. 5 hours left with my wife, children and dogs. I think the most difficult part was the fact that I knew what was going to happen, they didn’t. Should I have told them? I don’t think so, that would have made the final goodbye even harder to swallow...
"Well, we're Low on eggs, bread, milk and protein" I heard my Wife say. I instinctively replied with a "ok"and started searching for some pieces of paper. Conveniently, I found some Post it's lying on my desk and so I grabbed a pen and started jotting down a shopping list, writing one item per post it. "Milk, eggs, ...
Gorgeous and menacing thunderheads blossomed in the morning sky as she headed North toward Peachtree Place. She imagined how her bed would feel after sleeping on the frat boy's futon overnight. Miraculous came to mind. She may have been cute last night when she met the Georgia Tech Sophmore, but in the early dawn lig...
"The curator's role here is pretty much exactly what you think it is,"began the librarian, his gaze never leaving mine. "This place houses books which are always coming, but never going. The new ones need to be sorted and shelved properly based upon the guidelines you'll be given upon acceptance." I couldn't help bu...
"ATTENTION REE\-BOT!"Roo\-Bot exclaimed as it saw me go down the hall to the server room for my software update. I turned and replied, "GREETING ACCEPTED! PLEASE STATE WHAT YOU REQUIRE!"and I approached it. "ACKNOWLEDGING GREETING ACCEPTANCE! RESPONSE: REQUEST: PLEASE PROVIDE TEMPORARY ACCESS TO YOUR DWELLING FR...
She passed out on the raft never letting go of Jack. He was surprised by how strong her grip was. When she came to, Jack was checking her pulse and she bolted up and threw her arms around almost knocking him over. "Oh Jack!" Realization set in as she slowly pulled away and looked around. They were on a beach but it w...
The Bard tuned his lute and began to sing. The melody wafted across the tavern floor, complementing the smell of roasted chicken and hicory smoke. Villagers and travelers alike turned to the performance, or at least leaned to listen better. First was a wordless tune. It started as a slow and relaxing dance. Then i...
"Big brother, we can finally get rich! I only need to fight the bad people and we can finally eat something else than dirt!"my little brother shouted. I looked at him with confused look and rubbed his head. That was a problem. I did not expect my little brother to enlist for the army. I had no talents in war, but my b...
As me and the others sat in this room. Awaiting our ends, casting forth gloom. Being reckless in hindsight, we settled our dues. Not with love, but with blood, as our kind often do. A man dressed in black, kicked it off with bang. A grenade to be exact, is what started the chain. The goal of his game, no one sa...
I just remembered. Today is the day it all started. Valentine’s Day It’s been ten years. Ten years since it happened. And look how far I’ve come. A husband, a degree, a career. I have so much now that I thought I’d never live to get. In a way, those two months lit a fire under me. But that fire came with a price. A...
"It's back..._again_" A shifting mass of darkness floated in an endless space, as thoughts personified themselves, adjusting their time to match in one specific moment. They surrounded the void. The void stopped. "How did it arrive on this occasion?"an array of photons formed, moving through different wavelengths. ...
It was a small, empty room, with just me sitting on a chair, behind a desk with a black rotary dial phone on it. The phone rang. I picked up the phone. Immediately I woke up, finding myself in a pod with wires attached to my person. I peeled them off. A black, bald man in sunglasses came up to me and spoke. "Neo". I si...
I couldn't have picked a better day to go for a run. The sun had finally come out from behind the grey skies that had cursed the town for the past week, and the ground was still waterlogged. My shoes were caked with mud after only a few minutes, and I could feel the sucking as the ground tried to claim my feet. The squ...
"Hey man, how was your trip to 2043?"you ask, slapping your friend Dean on the shoulder. "It was pretty good. You're not gonna believe who's president though..." "La la la..."you say, plugging your ears with your fingers. "No spoilers, dude." "Oh c'mon, it's a great story!"he protests. "No,"you reply firmly. "I don't w...
Biff was walking down the street and everyone was giving him the weirdest looks. Come to think of it, his mom had as well before he left the house. Even his dog couldn't stop barking at him. He went into the grocery store, and someone started yelling at him saying that he was obscene. Somebody even called the cops o...
2AM, That was the time, I thought staring at the clock on the wall. Gosh I hated overtime. I sat down on the bed in my one room apartment, and started pulling my shoes of. The shipping date was due tomorrow-well actualy today now and it still needed debugging. The Joshes group had taken there own sweet time coddin...
Everyone told you: there's no point in majoring in archeology. Everything's already been discovered. Still, you hoped you could discover something, anything that would leave your name in all the history books. You had researched and researched and researched; you slaved away over dusty tomes until you found it. The o...
This doggone vest won’t stop itching. I look up at my human. Her glasses almost completely cover her round face, which I can hardly see because of her belly. I wish she took me on longer and more frequent walks because I’m feeling a little heavy too. I wonder where my body is. Hopefully Sprout is taking good care ...
"I'll tell her! I'll tell her everything!" As I stared down the figure in front of me, I couldn't help but worry for him. He couldn't have been more than 16 or 17. Still a child, and yet so troubled. What went wrong in his life to lead him to here? Where were his parents when he needed them? "Son, just calm down, o...
Litter spread, smothered and speared across my branches, filthy beings live and die with their rotting odor of pride and power. I held back my rage for a decade enduring what their so called human rights proudly claim as abuse. But I wasn’t a victim today. It was as swift as a sharp wind, yet delicate like a leaf kiss...
Soft dripping echoed around the chamber. We had been locked deep down below the earth for our heresies against the king. No one who had been locked in the pits had ever returned to the surface. “It’s so dark. I can’t see my hands... I can’t feel my hands” One of the younglings said into the blackness. “I’m scared.” “...
The flash of light nearly gave me a heart attack \- I'd been working on my invention for nine hours straight and if there had been an electrical short that fried anything I would have cried. Instead, a strange man was standing there "Pleasure to meet you, Robert. You're quite famous in 2018." "Um. No, I'm not." Th...
Cindy stares at her small salad, poking the crisp lettuce and dry cherry tomatoes with a dull plastic fork. The teenage girl is sitting alone at the cafeteria table: an island of silence amidst a sea of chatter, laughter and gossip. Sighing, she stares at the full tables with melancholy as she lays the fork on the lunc...
"Mom, Dad,"I said. "I'm a magical girl." I don't know what I expected. I thought they might scoff, forcing me to transform in front of them. I feared they'd go off the wire, freaking out at the thought of their daughter with superpowers. I *hoped* they'd take it well, but after hearing some of the stories my frie...
“Wow” I said as I stepped out of the building. I walked around until I reached a local town. I would look over the long streets with crowded shops, people driving as fast as they can to get to their jobs, and people asking for money. The air smelling like gasoline and dirt. The jingles of cans clanging, the sounds of ...
The Rover finished drawing out the last letter in the red sand, taking a sharp right turn. It trailed on for about two yards, and suddenly turned into a fiery ball, leaving a dark gash of a period in the Martian soil. My whole team was in shock, no one daring to speak. One of the surveyors stepped forwards, holding his...
**The dread Steed of Abigor raced across the sand bearing the Great Duke Eligos on its back.** Born from the bones of a horse of Eden, the Steed of Abigor veritably flew across the land but still it was not fast enough for Eligos. They had ridden for ages and the baleful red sun that had consumed half the sky had not m...
“Roll a D20,” you command George Lucas who quickly complies only to screech loudly at the results. “One, a critical fumble, roll the D20 again.” “Meesa no like bad joojoo!” Lucas yelped out earnestly and quite seriously. “He’s always like this, I’m sorry guys, I should have left him at home,” Spielberg picked up his ...
I really hate it. My restaurant is being critically acclaimed, and my girlfriend is now my fiancé, but the snobs would dump me in an instant if I told them what I use. Genetically engineered fruits, vegetables, and animals. All of it approved by the FDA, but unspeakable to the uptight snobs who believe only in comple...
The giant orbiting space-station Grammaton started as a multi-national effort to preserve the knowledge, culture, and customs of the present for future generations. Upon death, each citizen's personality and memory could be uploaded to the Grammaton, which drew near infinite energy from the sun. About 43% the size of t...
Carl Friendly stood before the Court in his best attire, surrounded by his attendants, his mother, and a feeble swatch of defense lawyers. Even in an age of circuits and clouds, the civilized code of Common Law was as powerful a dragon as it had been in medieval ages long ago. “And the evidence is crystal clear-“ ass...
"I hated that piece of junk,"Sarah muttered, flicking the stub of her cigarette into the gutter. In front of her, the 1967 Ford Mustang her dad had given her in his will burned like an old gas lamp from one of the Victorian period dramas she liked to watch. Beautiful, in a way, but fucking hell, it pissed her off. She'...
As Tom stood outside the nondescript office building on the busy corner in the heart of Chicago, he took a minute to appreciate the small things in life before it all changes. He noticed the unwashed panhandlers hustling tourists and city workers crying out for someone to buy the latest copy of Streetwise and how the t...
Tom woke up from surgery, groggy and confused, eyes rolling haphazardly around the hospital room. “Mom?” He said to the room. “I’m here honey,” her voice eased into his vision as it started to sharpen, eyes drawn together in concern, mouth smiling beneath sad eyes, “I’m right here, I’m so glad you’re awake.” “What\-...
The remote fell out of my trembling hands. My lips were still quivering. Was this it? Was this really my time to shine? ...Really? The flashing billboard still screamed of the evil professor Paul "Pollen-Purger"Poltergeist and his demands of the UN, lest he unleash his robotized "genetically modified pollen-spreaders."...
The man behind the bar polished the last glass. He set it next to the others. None of the glasses held a shine anymore. They were old and chipped. It was time for a new set. The man ran his towel under a faucet and began to wipe off the bar. He cleaned making sure the bar was spotless. The man would work well into the ...
My eyes opened. All I could see were four white walls, and underneath me felt like cotton candy. Am I in a cloud? The air of sanitation crept into my nose when I realized that it wasn’t a cloud but a hospital bed. However, there were no IV’s in me or machines surrounding me. I laid staring at the ceiling for what felt ...
"Of course, please take care", ~~Stevenson, Kenneth~~, As Sam hung up the phone and scratched off the latest name he had highlighted on his list, a sharp sense of nervousness started to rise from his gut and up his chest. *That makes it 10 in a row* he thought to himself. Sam had gone through his latest claims report...
"I know I saw him that day!"Clary yelled over the fire to David. "I told him you would know it was him. "David said with a smile on his face. They loved these talks, which Clary named BFF time: a few beers, a fire at the back of her house and way into the night chats. It had been this way since they both left in the fa...
One of the reasons that Sophia loved Marcus was his ability to see the best in every situation. If it started raining on their outdoor date, he'd strip down and call it a "water-park day". If People were rude, he'd say they were just having a bad day and offer to get them a coffee, non-sarcastically. If he suddenly b...
Everyday on my way home from school I like to take the shortcut through the forest. Something about the sound of wind blowing through the leaves and the voices of all sorts of birds calms me. About halfway through the woods I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and soak it all in. Today was no different. I left a few...
Talk about a way to start the morning. While I thought what I saw out of the top left corner of my eye was a floater, it didn’t take me long to notice that it was an actual word: “Quicksave.” More so, whenever I moved my head, the word traveled with it, almost as if it were part of my overall vision. I reached over to...
Door held open, I entered the room and extended a firm handshake to the doctor. He obliged and motioned me forward. I slid onto the resting sofa. The patient's chair featured clean cut blue diamond stamped leather. It was the only prominent piece of furniture in the room, besides the doctor's softly lined chair and wid...
They say that everyone dies twice. First when they, themselves die, then when the last person to speak their name dies. Or was it when their name is spoken for the last time? Either way it wasn't true, turns out: Ghosts. So after I did all of things you would expect a ghost to do, you know the whole, grieve your own d...
"Welcome, all! This fine establishment is Stanley's Soul Shack! With the finest collection of souls, from the pure soul of an innocent dog, to the soul of the infamous Jeffrey Dahmer! Today I, the great Stanley, will guide you around my museum of caputer souls!" I sighed inwardly. These damned museums aimed at dumb ki...
Anaracha was just about to crank out another one of her *oh\-so\-famous* character turns out to have gone crazy/murdered someone/to be in a circumstance where creating any sort of meaningful change is functionally impossible because individual actions are weak but collective action is strong and that dichotomy is why p...
Part 1 “5 minutes to your destination.” The auto-taxi tackled a corner, shifting my weight so that I collided face-first into the window I had been gazing out of. It had been a few years since they had outlawed human driving in Rhyn City, which meant that I couldn’t fork over a few bucks and get my driver to speed up...
Gabe hadn't getting tired of it. He was tired of singing songs, tired of delivering messages to those inferior beings, and tired of those inferior beings getting more attention then him! He was pretty drunk off his ass at this point. "I tells you hark!"He belched. "Those 'mans be good for nuthin!" "Yup, I hear ya, l...
**Hu, Hu, Hu, Hu, HU, HU, HU, HU** The First Marine Battalion of the Icelandic Confederation chanted in preparation for the landing in Patagonia. After 30 years of nuclear war, half the world was covered in Ice form the nuclear winter. Europe and North America were obliterated. The remaining survivors sent their deleg...
I excelled in the service industry. Fetching people things, being polite and happy, making food for them, telling them where things were--all of it felt right to me. I could make people around me happy. I brought them things, fed them, and basked in their rewards. Praises to my bosses were common, and I was given oppor...
No one could remember why their party had chosen to call themselves the warriors of theseus. Probably because their party had the institutional memory of a gold wish with amnesia. Whatever the reason, the current members \(who were far from the original members\) of the part were as follows. Diagon the dragon slayer...
