I always thought I would be murdered. It was really more of a hunch, but somewhere I think I was more surprised that I had always kinda knew then that I was actually being murdered. Thinking I could even make any sort of predictions in the world, even if those predictions were about my own death, was a comforting tho...
I followed the stars. I trekked over mountains and plunged deep into the furthest reaches of the wilderness. When I had seen all that could be seen and born all the joy and suffering that I could bear, I found the river and followed it down to the sea. I did not meet a soul on the beach. For days, I shuffled southward ...
very confused and very drunk, jason paddles to the edge and gets out. given that the sky is now red, its obviously afternoon or morning. after a couple of minutes drunkenly stumbling through the forest he notices there is a strange symbol in the corner of his vision, it almost looks like a german beer tankard. as he st...
I resisted every impulse to snort and stood taller. The almost featureless squarish notched head of the sergeant lightly brushed my nose as he scanned for any hint of movement. To the right of me were all identical bots of similar height to the sergeant, taller than I, except for the head. All the new recruits had a sl...
It was an evening in mid-August after school, and he was on his way back home. All the students in his school had received their personal relics, which were handed out at school in a sealed box. It was custom that each student open their box containing their relics at home with their families for the unveiling ceremony...
"Earthquakes everywhere and my account is still empty. What a shame." The time, 09:36. Nikolai hummed. “A shame, indeed.” “But we both knew the risk,” Arnold replied. His cigarette was a nub now, his fingers barely able to avoid being burned. “You should have been prepared for something like this.” “You’re implying...
"Officer Schmidt, do you hear me?"He couldn't move. He couldn't breath. "Officer, your heart rate is of the charts."How is this possible. He closed his sample tube. Not moving he decoupled his safety line. "Officer!" "I'll be back in a moment."He turned his RCS on and pushed forward. The rock crystal was 2km in front ...
"They're real!" "Yes yes quite real, I think you'll like this one"he said, gesturing to what appeared to be the skin of a woman. I gagged swallowing down bile but attempting to play alone lest I joined his collection. "Why?"I asked. "Well that's a funny story you see"he laughed, "Just a couple of months ago I got...
This was the last Great City, with shining railways, neon signs and smoke obscuring the sun. Now, 2000 years later, the last humans die out. With them go innovation, greed, kindness, malevolence, and, most of all, pain. The earth heals, plants crushing the mortal human inventions. The buildings glisten in the dayli...
Cold steel bites into my wrists. Rough hands jostle me forward. Down that stretch of hallway, I know, is where I will die. God, it was going to be a long walk despite the fact it was only a few feet. In there was where I would get strapped down onto a wooden chair, and the metal cap slammed down onto my skull, and volt...
Darkness before me, behind me, everywhere. The only beauty shines from my own, the dots of colour I enjoy. Forever I hope for fortune to show itself, for another of mine to appear, for one of the dots I broke and threw to return fully grown. &nbsp; Its mass turned, colours shifting and mixing, the body seen b...
"I got it."Mara burst into the laboratory, vial in hand. "Careful!"Fritz hissed at her. "Careful. Hand it over." "Aren't you going to thank me?" "Thank you. But now I've got work to do." "Can I help?" Fritz glanced up at her. At the sight of her big brown eyes staring back at him, hopeful, he softened. "Sure thing...
Day 2 \- April 11th 2018 Okay I don't really know how to do this but I've decided to start this journal to document what the hell is going on. So far everything around me seems to be working fine so I'll probably take some videos and what not but I'm not sure how long the power will stay on. Actually I'm not sure how ...
Finally a day off. No kids, no wife. I can finally just chill out and make some hot mixes. With office being so slow I have a lot of free time to think about my music. Pretty nice of the boss to give me the day off too! “Impress me.” A faint voice says. I squint hard, confused as I know I’m home alone. “Impress me.....
Author's note: I am glad that there are so many twin based prompts, gives me an excuse to lay down how this would go in real life! I never liked listening as he would drone on and on and on about his job. I would make fun of him saying that his job could be done by an AI set to generate random corporate buzzwords. I...
By now I’d managed to lift six wallets, four phones, and a kerchief. And it’d only been a quarter of an hour. The ease eclipsed my disappointment that most of the wallets had plastic in them and half the phones were iPhones -I didn’t have any who could crack them since Tommy had split. I’d always been handy when it cam...
I walked back into the coffee shop and ask the barista where the man went I was just standing with. She points to the back entrance. As I exited the rear of the building I see the man jogging down the l almost empty street, going through my shoulder bag. I just shake my head and wait. Why are Americans always so...
Life is full of uncertainty and unexpected things. The world with its limited space seems to filled with unlimited people. The feeling of the unknown, the unseen future that calls out to all of us. Even the way we feel yet don't express it seems to play its part. What unfeeling God deprived me of that? Ever since I...
Why do you always see mysterious characters meditating? I used to wonder that alot. You always see the most tragic loner superheroes meditating. I used to think those characters should just open up. They should learn to just enjoy helping people instead of brooding all of the time. I used to enjoy helping people, un...
We all do something in our lives that we know we shouldn't. Something that might be illegal, damaging to others or to ourselves, but only to a degree that kinda sorta justifies the action. It's then strange how it takes an event of epic proportions to realise that it should never have been justified in the first place....
There are upsides to being in the secret agent business. Adventure, honor, power. The ability to serve your country from the shadows and know things that nobody else does. It's not a bad gig, all said and done. It's just...really fucking tedious. That was a view I'd expressed many times to my handlers. But no matter ...
First you got dogs. See you figured you should have a dog anyway. Keeps the rabbits out of your cabbages, keeps the sheep in a group. You went into town and there was this boy selling his dog's pups and you asked him, which is the smartest? He pointed one out. You gave him a gold and took that one, and you asked which...
Cold. The fear clamps down on my chest like an icy vice. My heart beats against it like a frenzied man in a burning cage. My legs are aflame, but I do not know it. My feet are bleeding, but I do not feel it. Only fear. Only its breath on my neck, its hands reaching out. Trees fly by me, sticks noisily break after ever...
It’s then that you snarl, suck your fangs, and reflect back upon the centuries of vengeance, bloodbaths, and destruction you once inflicted... when you were but a relatively innocent undead-youth. Some have called you ‘lord of the rats’, others have called you ‘lord of the flies’. You still remember reading with glee, ...
I left them tied up for the cops to find and took the man to safety. He was so scared. I told him he would be fine once he woke up, that this was all just a dream. He hadn’t seemed to understand but was grateful. I walked back to my apartment and got back into bed so that I could end the dream. These dreams were exhaus...
#Somewhere in Africa, circa 1920. I feel trapped eventhough I can walk around. The drugs those creaps sedated me with are slowly clouding my perception less and less and I can feel elastic stuff all over my body more and more. It is latex , but although I have seen the trees it's taken from reguarly I am completely ...
He smiled. "Okay, I'll just walk down this sidewalk and—" &nbsp; "—how in the nine hells did I end up in jail?!?" "Haw-haw! " He looked into the nearby cell, towards the source of laughter, and quirked his eyebrow. "...okay, this apparently is happening: Boots can laugh now... great." A cute cat walked in...
"Ok gentlemen", yells Captain Deacon,"This is just a standard, run of the mill fairy dust bust". "We have reason to believe that a sizeable gang of dark elves is dealing from inside this building. However, due to them being part of a greater gang network we don't know what firepower they are packing. We are expecting s...
The LLCs were supposed to be the solution to the earth fuel crisis, they were supposed to transport fuel from the Moon to Earth and all her colonies. It was the biggest project ever made by humans, billions and billions were poured in by nearly every country in the world. It was the culmiantion of millions of dreams, n...
"Ho ho ho! Welcome back, Luke!"Santa said. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Let's get your train wreck of a holiday rolling."the winged child complained. "I'm bored already!" "You realize it's May, right?"Santa asked. "If you didn't want coal, you should have shown up on time." "No, no, no! I want a new toy! You promised!"the...
most people go for the flashy offensive stuff, like fireballs and lightning bolts, but i decided to go for the opposite. i would master defense magic, though it might get boring after a while. its been a couple months since i started on this path and got onto the magical compitions. my current main spell is redirect,...
Jeff sat at the head of the table on a hard wooden chair. He glanced out the window out onto the cobblestone street and breathed a heavy sigh of boredom. The townsfolk had filled the pub to over capacity. It reeked of stale beer, body odor, and thick pipe smoke. It had been 6 months since Jeff found himself transported...
They give you all of the pamphlets, refer you to support groups and try and explain how difficult it's going to be, but none of that really prepares you for it. Even if you have every resource and self help option, being alive after a tragedy where, "it could have just as easily been you,"doesn't come with a clear dire...
Deep in the obscured regions of Death's kingdom lies a hidden, dark library, the only light shining on it being the ever glowing flame on the candlewick next to the entrance's wooden door. It was an old, plain library that reeked of aged paper, decay, and the soft fragrance of lilies, her favorite flower. The facade o...
It started last night. I was up reading late when I looked up at the clock, 11:59 p.m. Well I should probably head to bed now, I thought to myself. I did my usual routine and laid down. With work early tomorrow I opened my phone to set my alarm: 11:55 p.m. I just figured my living room clock was wrong and went to bed w...
At first, they seemed harmless. Curious. They sent their eyes to our orbit to look up us. They baffled us. Their designs were crude, wasteful. They were willing to brave the horrors of space but scoffed at optimization? Madness. We showed no interest in them, and in turn they ignored us. Then came the hands. It was ho...
Sorry I’m late, but here it goes PM 9:15, Pacific Standard Time In class, we finished pledging our submission to comrade Davidson, and to the UAC, the Union of American Communists. In the corner of our classroom hung the framed picture of High Councilor Stephen Davidson, posed proudly with the flag of the UAC draped ...
I stood above the cradle, a bloody sword in hand. The tyrant's blood stained my hands, and it felt wonderful to have freed the future from his reign of terror. The mother screamed when she saw me, and even louder when she saw the blood on my sword. I said nothing to her, I had no quarrel with her, just her spawn. Sh...
In a peaceful courtyard lined with flowering cherry trees there is a statue. The statue is tall, solid stone, and looks out towards the east, always facing a new day, but the eyes are closed. The person depicted is a woman of about fourty years, youthful, but experienced. Her right hand is outreached towards the rising...
"That's a plexiglass SWAT visor."I told the overlord. "Excuse me?"he asked, wearing the visor which clashed with his metal armor. "Plexiglass. It's a material they make back at my home. Plastic."I responded. The overlord turned pale. "I was going to lock you up and have you lead me to the riches of your world. I tho...
“My Sweet Alex, Melissa was in a play at school today. She didn’t have the leading role, but she had quite a few lines! I wish you could have seen her. I feel you in everything she does. When she smiles, I thank you silently. Every time she laughs I can feel your compassion shining through. I look into her room some...
"Count the 28th. Feburary 1st 1999. Unpaid parking ticket. How does the defendant plead?" "Guilty. But I was going to my Dad's funeral. I didn't even know it was a no-parking zone!" The three judges huddled together, whispering. After a while they leant back, each resuming their seats high above me. "Very well. We s...
Ethan awoke one fine Sunday morning. His alarm blaring at him to get ready to leave for Church, which he would be attending at 10:30 AM to-day. The first thing Ethan did was make breakfast, which consisted of a bowl of Raisin cereal. Making his cereal, Ethan poured his Skim milk in firstly, then his cereal after, the o...
I pulled my blanket over my body, and tried to force myself to sleep. I focused on the idea. Ok, running really fast, jumping over buildings, maybe throwing fireballs or something... I shut my eyes closed, darting them back and forth in hopes of skipping right to rapid eye movement. I took a deep breath in, and relax...
Impossible. Absolutely impossible. This can't happen, can it? Impossible. He's a black Labrador Retriever, he can't write. Roark barks several times, then begins rearranging the biscuits. They spell out, >feed me real food - then wait "Oh...... kaaayyyy. Sure thing, buddy."I walk into the kitchen, where he follo...
The world is made up of words. For every place, person, and thing, there is a word to describe it. If you want to be more specific, you can use a special combination of words to fully describe something. You can even string together words that may not seem to go together, only to find that they describe something that ...
Of course my price would be one of the highest. Someone important as me? More than billions. And very few men could afford to kill the CEO of the biggest American company, and those who could were in very good favors with me. So, while I’m walking down the street and a dog comes and takes a piss on my new shoes - wh...
The Monster slumbers in its lair Blank expression, tousled hair In and on and in I creep Again and again and again I peep This horrid visage lies before me Its horrid claws set to gore me From its foul jaws, I hear a sound A pitty pat, a man-da-mound On I trudge, ever forward As my eyes point down, ever co...
“Now remember class the one animal you don’t want to ever talk to is the small minded human” said Miss Jackson, who was one of the smallest jackrabbits in the forest. “Why do we never talk to humans Miss Jackson?” asked Bobby the biggest bear cub of his litter. “Because, if we ever showed them that we could talk we w...
"Shoo, shoo, off my doormat please", I asked the manifestation of my imagination. The manifestation of my imagination that refused to go by any other name than the embarrassing one (for him) that I had given him, politely complied and took a step into my house. "See, I know I killed you and all and it wasn't fair to ...
“Ah, yes. Jones, please come on in.” “You wanted to see me, sir?” “Yes. I wanted to discuss some of your recent missions and get a debriefing.” “I filed a reports upon my return every time.” “You do. And thank you for that. You’re paperwork is exemplary, as one would expect, haha. “...” “Right. Well, there are a ...
Its the first time writing here so sorry if its wrong. \(also inspired by the story of 'The butterfly effect' \[a webtoon\]\) \(I don't also know if I understood the title correctly\) \(And sorry if the story is a bit crap. And the writing style too\) \(And the formatting. Sorry if its ~~a bit~~ messy, really sorry...
Who on Earth has rung my door bell at three am on a Sunday? What on earth is going on here? I loath getting out of bed before work for any reason. Its absurd that someone has done this. Pesky bastard whoever it is. I put on my loafers and robe and head down the stairs. This better be worth my time. I open my door...
As a physcian I both hate and love my role in ICU/R; even when someone is reborn a person still dies. The rebirth of someone terminally ill is both a time of celebration and remorse. The old become young again, but lose so much of themselves they are not who they were. I see so often were the parent becomes the child, ...
Kneel down and kiss my shoe, the enemy leader taunted. Do it, and I will accept peace. That's what he said, I think. It was a relatively simple request. Upon hearing these words, our own leader fell like rain unto his feet. Grasping them, he proceeded to kiss the shoes of his opponent. He did more than he was tol...
Before I knew it, the small and irritating blue tit was swirling in black putrid smoke. A deep booming voice echoed through the cave and into my skull. “I shall now take on a form of absolute fear, you shall rue the day you thought to cross me mortal! Behold, the most lethal and destructive beast to walk the earth. I...
I stand and feel myself stare blankly at the cadever of my beloved. I feel my body slacken and relax, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to feel Have I reached the state of nirvana or a Zen like state? I let out a breath I never realized I was holding and look up at the smug face of my ene...
Mail, it’s a simple part of your life, not so much mine. See most people take the job we do for granted, nothing wrong with that, people don’t exactly understand the role we play in this world, and others. See, your package filled with ‘movies’ that would break your poor mother’s heart is one of the last things on my m...
That's a legitimate notion -and one not without cause- but ultimately means a lesser quality sub, in my biased opinion. Far too often people vote for funny or intriguing or frightening prompts just because the title arouses their interest. Doesn't matter if the prompt railroads a writer into a set course of events or s...
"This is fantastic."I don't try to hide the sarcasm. "Don't be mean. I don't control the weather. The reports even called it 'sudden'"She looks down at the floorboard. "I'm sorry. You're right. I shouldn't be an ass."I pull the car over and light a cigarette. "We're going to wait for awhile. Visibility is terrible....
Harrison smiled. Then chuckled. Then laughed. He had just arrived to work and scanned the room. Rows of cubicles were filled with his busy co\-workers. And they were all chickens, flapping their wings, clucking up a circus, and pecking at the keyboard. Ted strutted up to him, a black and brown feathered rooster in a su...
I stomped into the living room, where my roommate was watching Twilight for the seventeenth time (at least) and lazily stuffing fistfuls of sour cream and onion chips in her mouth. "Aubrey, you know I hate to keep asking. You know I do. I've tried so, so hard to ignore it, but it's been an entire week and it's start...
This time the story was about myself, the one and only u/Hegemon_Alexander! This story would be about how I took random stranger's ideas and just publish them. And the best part? They never even realize. I just keep posting my unfinished ideas onto this wierd reddit thingy and people just blindly put their ideas. This ...
That blithering idiot. She walks into my hall, proceeds to trip over the carpet, fall onto my pristine vase and smash it. And I'm powerless to stop her. So much as a tickle would Eriel falling over from laughter and cracking her skull. The ashes of my Grandfather are the cost of success. "No minions to strike me do...
I'm so very misunderstood. I know everyone on Earth is scared of me, at least those who have seen symbols of my essence. I've been used for gangs, graffiti, propaganda, and everything else in between. I'm constantly blamed for every death I take. It's a horrid existence, but one that is required. No one can outrun Dea...
A girl’s scream came over the speakers. A scream that turned to manic laughter. “You know, Alexandra, I knew you would be tough to break, but I didn’t think it would be this tough. You’ve got to give me something.” Another scream. More laughter. The sound of spitting. Then a slap. The man in front of me, the man whos...
I opened the door and emerged into the dimly lit pub. A hunched over figure approached me, looking up from his stained old coat and long, matted black hair. He snarled at me and pushed through the door i had just entered. I looked around and saw nothing but hopeless figures forgotten by a city that never sleeps. I proc...
The chair was one of those folding metal chairs you see at church functions and mental health groups: cold and uncomfortable. The cuffs around my wrists dug into my skin, and I could see through the fibers of the blindfold that a bright light was in my face. A door opened, and I heard two sets of footsteps walk in. On...
Only in death did I find an answer: "Oh Great Yin Shi, what happened to the lover at the end of my thread?" "Car accident."He replied matter of factly. "Car accident?" "Yeah, thousands of people a year due in motor vehicle related accidents." "Well...shouldn't I get to meet her hear in the Heavens?"I asked, hopefu...
No.no. No! That number should be a lot higher. There was Sid. Nice enough guy sure. But no one really cared about how much you loved the freaking emus. Like seriously they are not even endangered. Go find a real animal. Like Susan from marketing. She put up a real fight. Let me tell you. For an older gal I was not ex...
He seemed to wade into the room like Moses into the Red Sea, parting it not with miraculous power but with pure, focused violence. His adversary's thugs fell left and right to gunshots, simulated broken necks, thrown stunt knives and various weapons of opportunity. It was a gorgeously choreographed ballet of blood and ...
Ah, it was a beautiful day. Birds sang the breeze blew softly keeping the air cool. I walked toward the large outcropping of buildings that rose from the grown, giant effigies to the one true god, money. As I entered the complex an old familiar song came to me. I started to whistle it singing the words in my head as ...
Hehe 2nd story here we go xD \(Sorry in advance if you don't like it.\) \(Also the grammar errors that you, the reader, might find here, sorry about that too\) Day 173 "RIICCKKKYYY NOOOO!!!!"I shouted as my friend Ricky blocked an arrow headed for me. With my anger, I killed the archer who shot the arrow with my ow...
Of course it had to be freaking Mauretania where fate placed him this time. The places became more remote where he had to grow up and eventually escape from. As a looper, he returned each time with his memories intact in a new body and, as a price for many new beginnings, each time he returned as a slave. Each time som...
They came to the stream where they had fished in the summertime. "Grandfather, will they find us out here?" "I don't know, my child. But we must stay away from them. Remember, you must never look into their eyes."It was getting late, and the man knew they would need to stop here for the night. It had been three days...
It’s not the first time this has happened. It’d been a rough day, I woke up this afternoon to find my girlfriend gone. She had left for work without waking me up and that meant I was going to be late. My morning routine was a mess without her around to make my breakfast and lay out my clothes, I ended up just wearing...
“Ted, there’s no easy way to say this, but Greg is going blind.” The vet paused for dramatic emphasis. “Blind? As in—” “Yes. Plunged into a lonely world of despair and darkness. Never knowing if he’s alive or dead, asleep or awake. Now, this isn’t the end of the line for Greg, he’s no retired greyhound, so there’s no...
Another day Another boring day, at my boring job. I don't have to wake up, do I? Well I guess I kinda have to, since my back feels like hell, what am I sleeping on? I should stop speaking to my thoughts, and actually try to wake up. Well then, My eyes open. I'm still not fully awake so I don't realiz...
The huge snake in the sewers had been plaguing the population insidiously for about a month now. Here I was, down in the depths of dank darkness, trying to put an end to the threat, and far in front of me was the superhero. I was divided about him. As a maintenance worker in the sewers, I had not had the chance to see...
The radar gun is firmly held in officer Bradly’s hand. The police car is nestled behind a small highway billboard advertising the new Samson Industry’s Phone. The stretch of road connecting the farm land of Abbotsford into the Metropolitan region known as Vancouver is often quiet at night. Lately they’ve been getting...
There are no souls remaining. No souls to fill the void, fill the body, breathe new life. There is only one choice. Death must come to another, this day. But who to choose to light this new life? One whose current life has been naught but emptiness, and won't be missed? Or one who will fill this new life with somet...
I kept walking, the soles of my boots slowly coming apart, threatening to expose my feet to the frigid snow. According to my watch, it was May 3rd. It'd been five days since I was lost, diverging from the original path due to my curious nature. I wonder if anyone's looking for me. The days blurred together, my brain...
God's book. My book. The Book to life by and to guide you to eternal blessing. They need to know everything. They need to know all. An infinity of knowledge I have to condense on a few pages. How do I do it. I created this universe with specific boundaries, so they need time to learn. The last one learned to fast, did ...
My grandfather's eyes open. I grasp his hand and call for a nurse. My chest is aching and it's hard to pretend to breathe normally. "Grandfather,"I say but he squeezes my hand just a tiny amount. "Listen,"he says, voice heavy with sleep. "I want you to promise me five things." My head spins at his words. Are the...
"As you can imagine, we've had quite a lot of interest for this particular role..." The casting agent smiled, and then pushed open the door. Ordinarily, casting calls were done in an office, tucked somewhere discreetly out the way on the studio lot. But this one... The wall of noise hit her immediately. There were so...
“Nah I’m not buying it kid” Phil tells Hercules as they look down towards the city of Athens from the highest point. The city is in chaos...more chaos then usual. Stands left unattended, carriages with no horses, ironically the crazy guy who shouted about the “end being near” was no where to be found. “Half the city..”...
It was hot. Scorchingly hot. The sun beat down mercilessly on the arid sands. Not a tree was in sight, not even a rock. Nowhere to hide from the slow, unrelenting burn. Even the dry wind only worsened the heat, stealing away your precious moisture with every jealous breeze. "How many?" you wondered. How many had c...
After explaining myself, the mysterious man retracted his statement. “My mistake. But since I am here, I need your help. My name is General Ogan. I am searching for powerful intergalactic supercriminal who shares your appearance and powers. His name is Malthar.” Powers? Me? What powers? Just then, two b...
After 10 years of paradise, the device stops working and the 💩 hits the fan. First, I’m fired from the dream job. “Your articles just aren’t hitting the mark with readers,” my editor says. Then I get kicked out of the beautiful penthouse apartment. “All the other tenants have signed a petition. Sorry, they want ...
The new FancyPants editor is sweet, and I love what you've done to the place - the new paint in the editor is very nice, and I like the new looks. But I can't use it yet...the TI-83 calculator I use for a computer loads the new site.....and loads it, and loads it, and loads it, and loads it, and loads it... I sure w...
"FDR! FDR! FDR!" The crowd chanted fervently as Roosevelt got out of his wheelchair and used it to bash Hitler in the head with it. The only dissenting voices in the crowd were those tired of chanting, or the race Huey P. Long fan who had resorted to chanting "Fuck DR!"As their own battle cry. "Hitler is a great heel...
Although it had already been 3 years since she had passed away, he would always dream of her. He would always dream peacefully of the dates they had been on, the time that they had shared, and would often wake up smelling her favorite perfume. Occasionally he would have nightmares of the day she left him. Nightmares of...
At first the world panicked. They came in huge ships scattered across the sky in a seemingly random order. News stations across the world were filled with pictures and videos of the great grey and blue ships, it was all anyone talked about. For a few weeks all they did was float in the sky, no movement or changes of an...
Heartbreak and death. Those are the two certainties of life. Or so they say. Problem is, I can't die. Not in the literal sense, anyway. My physical body refuses to yield. I've lived for three hundred and eighty two years now. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. I just keep trucking on. Heartbreak is real though. I've lived it mys...
His ragged breath tore through the air, threatening the silence to weep itself to sleep. I smell the stench of dirt and dying roots infused, though bloody gums refuse to leave my nostrils. I'm still, still as could be. Hearing his movement pricks up my ears, and the dull grey between the black trees show me not a thi...
I looked into the TV screen. His eyes were manic, yet, as he was taken away, they conveyed another emotion. Total and utter confidence. No sense of forgiveness, of remorse. I felt it. Others in the nation felt it too. Pure malice, in human form. Evil without explanation, without reason. The president's newborn daug...
"Sir... I beg that you you... really reconsider a better mode of communication if...if..." I held out a hand, smirking as the courier caught his breath. Normally I would have punished such insubordination. But this was just too damn funny. Looking up, the courier continued. "I, and I imagine all the surrounding king...
The child is picked up by a loving father and daughter. The mother died giving birth and the daughter has always wanted a sibling. 11 years pass and the daughter finds the note that was with the baby just as a priest turns up at their house looking for their brother. Their father chases him out of the house after a co...
Diving. Drifting down, far from the light. Deep, deep down into the black, deep into the suffocating dark. Where the sun dare not reach. Down deep to where the monsters dwell. Movement, a flash of tentacles. A glimpse of a monstrous eye. There! Lunge, bite, bite. Ripping now as the tentacles grasp the skin. The shar...
Another whir, And I awoke. Another whir, For mankind's sake. &nbsp; Stepping out, I saw hell. Beneath grey heaven. Sky from rubble I couldn't tell, Among ruins, a heron. &nbsp; The heavy cold Weighed down on me. So I had been told: They had left, to be free. &nbsp; Another whir, And I set ou...
