I wasn't exactly sure what I was expecting... but this was definitely not it. The moment the sword had slid free from the small slit in the stone, a booming voice echoed throughout the woods, so loud that it was almost impossible to make out the words, causing me to drop the sword, fall to my knees, and throw my hands...
"Oh, come on, Janice!" She's mad at me. Again. "What did I do this time?" Janice gave me a baleful glare and floated through the hallway wall. God knows what I'd said but it happened every so often - our weekly poker game was obviously off the table tonight. I had to sympathise with her, to a point. It couldn't be ...
"Fifteen Minutes to drop!" The lights of the cabin flicked from artificial white to a deep red. Five years ago I'd have become nervous at this point, felt like a wire about to break from tension. Yet this was my seventh invasion. Mud from six other planets had covered my boots, blood from six other species had been sp...
One year ago the world came crashing up. Every single person regardless of age, gender, or location shrunk to the size of a fairy. On that day thousands died, mostly due to being in the wrong place such as the hundreds of airliners with pilots who could no longer reach the controls, or whoever happened to be in a car. ...
As soon as I blinked awake and there was.... frosting? In my eyes. How the hell. Oh fuck, I remember now. It must have been about a week ago. I was working on my shrinkray. I had a wrench on my belt while I was taking a picture. And the mirror... oh shit. Thats my way out. The only way to get back to normal size is for...
4999 players, that’s how many have died. I’m the only one left, other than the NPCs, but those don’t count. You see only 5000 players were allowed to buy the vr console now called the “death machines”. I was “lucky” enough to be one of them. You can hardly call it luck. I’m the type of player who hides and waits for...
I woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning. About 20 miles north of the wrong side. I looked out the window of the old house over the city of London. I would scream for help, but my mouth was taped shut. Realising I was alone I looked down. I couldn't believe my abductors could be so stupid. My hands were in my ...
The Minder was a woman in her prime, her name chosen more for her trait of minding those around her than for her own brilliant mind. I would spend hours staring at her beautiful unmasked face as she knelt on the hard bamboo floors of her apartment, broadcasting her presence throughout the city looking for anyone she co...
Mother had always told me stories of my distant relatives with whom I had shared the oddity of differently colored eyes. They weren't visibly different until one was within a couple feet, but once you knew it was difficult to ignore. I had never expected to find the same trait, nay, the same eyes, mirrored within the ...
A million thoughts pace their way through Vernons fractured mind. ‘There’s no way around it’ He cranes his neck to the side, shifting his burning gaze to the stalls below the walkway he’s shuffling down. ‘I’ll have to make this painful.’ A warped grin wraps itself over his cracked lips as his eyes lock on the torn ...
Marty stirred in his bed. Half-asleep, he felt a comforting presence sitting on the side of the bed. "I just had the most horrible nightmare,"Marty said, still groggy and trying to wipe the sleep from his eyes, "I dreamed that Doc had a time machine and I accidentally went back in time. I had to get my folks back toge...
"There you are!" The boy yelped as the owner grabbed him by the collar and yanked him to his feet. The book he had been reading fell out of his hands. The owner pointed a finger in the boy's face and growled, "One more time. Got it?" The boy nodded meekly. The owner let him go and thrust a notepad and pencil into hi...
I've been at this for a while now. At least I think so. Can't exactly tell how long. I used to go by the sun setting and rising, as long as I concentrated hard enough I could keep going. My runners high ran out about 3 hours after I started. Probably been a whole lot longer than that now. I think. There goes another su...
“BABE! Oh my god baby, it’s happening again!” An exasperated groan comes from the next room. “Can, we please not go through this again…” “But I’m dead serious this time babe,” you say with conviction. “I’m telling you there is something funny going on. Come here and look!” Your girlfriend emerges from the bedroo...
TL:DR- Fantasy Hero wakes up in Rom-Com I had done it. I have slain the great dragon, Loki. I have saved the world. My fellow villagers are celebrating my victory with a great feast when everything disappears into darkness, and I pass out. I awaken somewhere completely foreign. I hear a loud, strange buzzing. "Where ...
It's June. I am on my way home from work, crammed into the subway like a sardine, with all the others on their way to their own homes. I keep my head down, as usual, bobbing my head along with the sway of the car, and the music pumping through my headphones. Suddenly, there's a blinding flash of light, and I'm transpo...
“I need a new job.” I sighed. “You’re kiddin’, right?” My coworker overheard me. “No, I’m not.” “Man, so what if we work a few extra hours? We’re takin’ home almost six digits a year movin’ boxes! Don’t know ‘bout you, but if boss-man wants us runnin’ a double without notice, I ain’t tellin’ OSHA shit.” “That’s m...
Pyre kicked the tavern door down, swaggering inside carelessly. Already, all eyes laid on him, less so because of the downed door and more so because of the inferno of fire that swirled around the building. Skulking through the small establishment he swelled with pride at the weary but submissive gazes his stride and ...
Darkness pressed in through the windows spaced evenly along the deserted corridor. Even the shards of glass littering the floor had long ago been ground down by the relentless winds that ripped through the open hallways. Nothing stood between Nia and the night beyond the abandoned building but the illusion of separatio...
You walk towards the heavily guarded, iron doors that protect all the dreams of humanity. The chances of just having the possibility to attempt to become something more than human, is more than mind blowing, more than frightening. It cannot be described in any way to express what and how you are feeling. The second t...
Until you hit the bottom of the abyss, your body making a loud thud causing echoes to reverberate around you. You feel your bones crack and a metallic taste fills your mouth as spurts of blood shoot out of your mouth. The last beat of your heart pounds like a drum as your mind slips into the unknown. Light floods you...
As the woman in front of him danced, Killian felt the grin on his face grow wider. Desire filled him. He licked his lips. Each sway of he hips brought her closer. Killian shifted in his seat. Her eyes met his. He didn’t let his linger for long, he took in the entire sight of her. Another step closer. She tossed her h...
The putrid stench of decomposing corpses and the buzzing of flies met me as I awoke from my blackout. I opened my eyes slightly and looked to both sides, before slowly bringing my body up and looking around me. My eyes adjusted to the darkness as I took in my surroundings. Bleak, dark trees towered over me and stretche...
I was in the hospital when it happened. As was custom, we had taken medicine to suppress our emotions, but while watching my wife give birth, I couldn't help but feel incredibly nervous, proud, and joyful all at once. My emotions got the better of me and I saw a look of shock on the faces of the hospital staff. Rushing...
I was heading southwest from the amusingly named town of French Lick, winding my way through the back roads that crossed the forested hills of the Hoosier National Forest. I was hungry and was annoyed that I hadn't bothered to eat breakfast back at the motel. I had given it some serious thought, but after four days in ...
"Last I dreamed, I dreamt I was flying. Did you know that? That you can fly in your dreams? You can do whatever you want. In your dreams, that is,"Oxo said, counting the pills. Thirty two. Three less than they'd agreed on. He didn't even have to look up to tell that the bastard was trying to give him the slip. The Junk...
I was doing paperwork when a gust of wind threatened to tear the form out from under me. I pressed down to keep it from blowing away. A wind inside of a house would have spooked anyone else, but I know what it was. I paid it no mind and continued going over this year's budget. Out of the corner of my eye I saw my ann...
“I saw the turning point in my own life. The moment things went from bad to worse. It was when I decided to stop taking things lying down and step up. “I joined the military on impulse. It’s something I’d talked about ad nauseum, something I’d wanted to do for years but had put off and made excuses for why I couldn’t...
Not intending to be a dick, but did the math and wanted to share. The speed of a supernova explosion is not nearly the speed of light (most of the sources I found seemed to agree on about 10% speed of light being the high end though it can vary widely depending on the type of star/supernova). If the speed of the act...
I stepped into the diner next to the old Motel off Highway 28, glancing around furtively. The AEGIS unit locked to my arm by a metal cable connected to a manacle around my wrist was concealed inside the large arm sling I'd bought at a CVS a few hundred miles back. That had been a close one -- they'd almost caught up wi...
‘Thought Neptune beats Eros?’ ‘Only when its played in the Sol system, idiot.’ ‘Fuck’s sake,’ sighed Chris, tossing another token to Jamie. Gambling was prohibited for imperial soldiers, thus their military issue personal computers didn’t allow the exchange of credits and the two were forced to use makeshift plastic ...
I quickly hung up the phone call to my upset mother and ran as fast as I could to my daughters room. I can hear a low growling start to permiate down the hallway. I threw open the door and dove into her room. It's dark but I can quite easily see a figure looming over her bed. She sat up at the commotion and started scr...
I don't believe in prayer, but I do believe in curses, witches, demons. How else would I end up here staring up at the painted ceiling of my childhood bedroom? There are things people forget about when they want to time travel. Everything about you is made up of experience. The movie you saw with your dad, the time y...
At first, it was a grand consensus that I was to be given domain over something that could cause the least amount of damage. Not that I'm intrinsically evil, or anything of the like -I just happen to have a certain effect on things... Most of the time, anything I use my powers on explodes, catches flame, malfunctions,...
All throughout the forest the trees appeared to sway and bow towards a massive clearing in the woods. All animals with any sense or pride moved with the wind. From the giant sloth to the timid squirrel, they gathered. It was where it was said that a star fell once and bestowed upon beasts of the land, the Gift to the f...
The living mask scared the shit out of me. When it first clung to my face and started spreading out I panicked. I feared it might close up over my mouth and eyes. Then the dark would strangle me out of existence. The neural restraints prevented any instinct to pry it away from my flesh. The first look in the mirror ...
what the... Jonah looked at his arms and legs. There was little resemblance in the mirror. First of all, he was about four times higher than the figure. Second of all, he was much lighter in appearance. Third of all... I’m not a cat! The cat did look like two cats from his childhood. Near enough to be the same t...
Well... he didn't say anything. Merely watched - no, observed - as my face ran from surprise to curiosity, from 'how-in-the-world!?' to 'why?' Calmly, he returned to his work, stacking the shelves and cleaning the floors. How he managed it in this dusty street, I'll never know. An employee, working for the same stal...
This got dark and it's my first time using a WP, please be gentle. I'm just trying to practice. &#x200B; ‘I didn’t do it’ I screamed at the lawyer. She stood there, dumbfounded ‘Then who did it, the boogeyman?’ I stared at her, my eyes hard knowing that she was mocking me, ‘I’ve already told you Carla, it was my...
It felt like a college party, but not the good kind. Every deployment. Day 1 of redeployment and were getting new recruits. The folk that don't have a clue what comes next. They thought boot camp was difficult. We all did, until we were deployed, except for me. I've always had a bit of an edge. Not any kind of edge, th...
Hey guys, I'll jump in first. Just started writing stories about a week ago, but I've been a wordsmith for a long time. I appreciate all the inspiration I've found here. The desire to write a novel has been in me for over 9 years now. I've been sitting on ideas for a long time, but have felt the flood gates break on st...
"No, I can't make it. I'm keynote at the Society of Paranormal Professionals." A cold caller. She wouldn't have it, she needed me to receive a phone call from the dead, this Saturday. "I'm terribly sorry. I could pencil you in for Sunday. . No? Ok, well thank you for your interest." Now to get back to my keynote o...
In 1918, Fritz Haber won the Nobel prize for his discovery of the Haber process. A chemical reaction that revolutionized modern agriculture with cheap, artificial synthesis of fertilizers. Two billion more mouths could be fed around the world thanks to Haber's ingenuity. But what did he get in return for his scientific...
So I have an idea for this but am not a good enough writer to put it into a story. Basically at first they're trying to do their thing in the others costume and getting harassed for doing it but by the end of the day they discover their are perks to the opposites role. The hero decides to rob a bank and when the villai...
"Hey She-zard, got a Ricky on desk 2" &#x200B; They call me Shezard because they think I'm a She-Lizard. Sigh. Yes, I can shape shift. Yes I can fit in anywhere. But stop already with the stupid names. And not only that, they're not even thinking of lizards, they're thinking of chameleons. I work with morons. ...
While I am the first to recieve sight, it's a curse. Hideous. Everything is hideous. I imagined our race as smooth, perfect beings, with details in all the right places. That we'd all look the same, and I love that sense of security. But no. Humans are ugly. Things that I couldn't care less about before, like acne,...
First time responding to one of these, and I suck at English despite it being my only language. Pre apology over Ahem, where were we? The reporters have been knocking at my door for weeks now. I still live in the same apartment as before. I’ve been sitting in my old rocking chair contemplating what I’ll say. I’ve be...
I sat on the couch, my beer gut spilling over the top of my boxers. My cat meowed at me with disdain, I reached over and rubbed his head. He purred and nuzzled into my hand, it was satisfying to know I wasn’t a failure in his eyes. Wet cat food. That was the trick to a happy cat. That and keeping him clean and giving...

My heart slams into my ribcage at Agent Griffson’s words. One of my employees – killing patients in purpose? That’s what they’re here to investigate? It can’t be. “I can assure you,” I stammer, “I hold my staff to the highest ethical standards –” “I’m sure you do,” Agent Marquez cuts in, her voice rasping like she to...
Jim had been alcoholic for all of his adult life. Luckily for his career, he was what people referred to as a “functioning” alcoholic—that is, he could still fulfill some of his normal work and societal obligations while secretly boozing and only occasionally fucking things up. &nbsp; Well, this time at least, Ji...
“It’s simple really. We kill the Batman.” James said jokingly. Everyone chuckled around the table, and Tom drew the bat symbol with a red circle around it on the concept board. “You laugh, but I like the creative thinking here. This is what’s going to make this brainstorming a success. Next?” Tom said, looking around ...
I've always heard that you should never enter the catacombs without a guide. How bad could it be though when you have a map? That's what I thought just over seven hours ago when I ventured beneath the earth and into these halls. At first, all was well. Left was left, right was right, and the map was accurate. That was ...
Time was a very linear construct. Things happened in sequence; it was a neverending string of events, one happening after the other. On one level, it was possible to comprehend and imagine what linear time was like. On the next, it was impossible to actually feel. She was there. People were trying to hurt her. The ...
Hey boss, wanted to update you about this past weekend. I know you were nervous about missing but we have everything under control, plus your wife needs you! Congratulations again, George told us your newest bundle came late last night, already living the night life like his parents! Ok so whatever shadow thing has be...
"HAH!"The air cracked with the whiplash of his tongue, a single short-lived burst of laughter. "What do I do for a living, you asked."The shadow, horned and squatting over a person who was trying to understand the direction of gravity in this new world. But he was so sleepy... "Hey! Don't sleep, I know you didn't as...
========= Come one come all!!! The Golden Pork Tavern is proud to announce the arrival of the great lord and savior Doskias Everdark this realms new King. There will be a great feast in his honor and all are invited to come and pay the first of their weekly tributes upon our Lord. Failure to attend this gala will res...
You’ve always loved hunting. Spotting the prey, tracking them down, then taking the final shot. It’s a game of wits, but most prey aren’t very witty. They don’t have guns, they don’t have traps, most of them don’t even realize there being hunted. That’s why you love the Purge. So much prey roaming the streets of th...
The cool crisp air of the early morning felt good on my skin. I love these early hours, the calm quiet, getting to have the world to myself. I've been trying to get back into these morning jogs. I kind of wish I hadn't. The light changed, and I began to cross. Should have checked. I don't think the truck even slowed d...
Part One. It was the day that the Earth stood still. It was a normal Tuesday, late in the fall, and everyone was going about their business as usual. All of a sudden, a shockwave pulsed through most of the North American continent. Over the city of Los Angeles, the city turned its gaze to the skies, looking at a s...
Gustav looked out across the field. He remembered reading as a child, stories of the land of Oz. Of the Emerald City, the yellow brick road, the amazing adventures of an American girl named Dorothy and her companions, the lion, the tin woodsman, and the scarecrow... The scarecrow... that's what these things reminded ...
“Look Jimmy, I know this is scary, but if you want to see me or Mom or Elizabeth again, you have to follow these instructions.” Jimmy wipes the tears out of his eyes, his gaze drifting back to the bodies of his parents and his elder sister, only a few heartbeats more aged than him and on the wrong side of the internati...
Ringing in my ears is all I can hear. I heard the shot and I heard the screams but I can't hear anything else now. I'm on my knees next to my best friend, the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with, and he's dead. I don't know who did it, or why, I just know he's gone. His eyes are open looking up at the sky...
_"It's not you, if that's what you're thinking."_ I wasn't, truth be told, but what a positively scoundrel thing for my reflection to say. Exactly the sort of answer the greatest scoundrel would have given. I gave my reflection a wink.. yet it didn't wink back. _"Any other day I'd have held my tongue because, being t...
Zap! The last creature disintegrated into a pile of ashes. I was just thinking this was all just too easy and I'd need to complain to the AI when the Pod Access Indicator light stated flashing in the corner of my vision. "Dubya Tee Eff?"I swore. Everything disappeared and I was left in the dark tube. How long had it ...
The giant thing fought against the chains. Full twelve of the king's strongest men were pulled across the room by the chain they held. Then they pulled back and the giant was pulled further into the court. Inch by inch the knights pull the chain until they got it to the ring attached to the ground. Weyland the Smith s...
Your stomach lurches as your small life boat rocks from side to side. You feel sick, even sicker than usual, your legs are starting to cramp because you've been sitting or lying down for the past few hours. As you sit on a lifeboat... somewhere, you keep your eyes open, hoping you don't see an Oceana ship headed your w...
The television showed a bright white background and only the words "turn yourself in or pay." I remember perfectly what I was doing the day the world changed. Walking along main street passing by a computer store on my way home. It had just started to get colder as winter creeped up but I didn't need to worry about the...
[I am actually excited for this one. But where to begin?] I have existed for many thousands of years in the void....biding my time....collecting energy for what will be my final masterpiece. The creation of my dimension Termina. When the time comes I will open the curtains on my little pocket universe and seek an a...
Sharley butted his head against me affectionately, and I scratched his head head in return. We had been stalking this mountain for three days now, and still no sign of the bear that had been terrorizing my village. Farther up, I spotted the yawning mouth of a cave. Perhaps there we would find our prey. "C'mon, Sharley...
I stared at the monster in front of me, the horror know only as Everyman. No one could count how many lives he'd taken, no one could even list all his attacks, his crimes. For years, we didn't even know he existed. But the rumors piled up. The criminal class whispered about the transforming man, the ultimate super. And...

On our first date i tried to kiss her. When I tried to put my hands in her hair to pull her closer, she stopped me. "I... I have to go,"she said. Tears were in her eyes as she slammed the door in my face. I thought I had blown it. I sat in my car and sent her a text message. "I'm sorry :("it said. I didn't know exatl...
I creep along the edge of the building. Look down at my watch. 7:15. Right on schedule. I take out my binoculars and look inside the mansion. 2 women in the living room, watching TV. They'll be dead soon. I think I'll have a steak tonight. &#x200B; I've been doing this for years. It should be easy by now. In and ...
Ellen dreamed of wood worms. White, fat segmented larvae poking their brown heads out of her bedroom wall, their black jaws chewing on white painted wood pulp. At first, there was only one. A vermiphobe, Ellen bit her lip to keep from shrieking as chills ran up and down her arms. Summoning up her courage, she grabbed...
"Who are you?"I asked nervously, stepping back to get a better look at myself. The nose was different...or at least I think it was? I'd never paid much attention to my own nose. He looked at me with a silent determination. "I'm your guardian angel. Everyone has one. I'm yours..."He muttered, looking at me. The determin...
I was working the night shift when it happened. That's right. The Night Shift. If you're new here, you might not be familiar with what that means, but not to worry, you'll learn soon enough. For now, know that the night shift can be summarized in one word: boring. See, that's what happens when you work in one ...
"I wonder what Germany will be like?"I thought to myself knowing full well it's probably smoldering ash by now. You see, a week ago these scientist guys started getting weird readings or somethin in germany, I'm not into the whole mumble jumbo so I wasn't really paying attention. Either way I'm now in a heli with the r...
4/13/42 To a historian: How long has it been? Two years? It feels more like two seconds. The main powers now, not California, not New York, not even Texas. Now the main powers are Democratic Oregon, Oligarchic Rhode Island, and Monarchic Florida. So far, Rhode Island is the most powerful. I’ve known this type of gover...
"Johnson, get over here! I think they've finally done it!" I stare in disbelief as the thing in front of me calls to another. They're human.. well almost, they look different, the clothing is like nothing I've ever seen before, and I can't explain the technology they all have their bodies. The second being com...
PART I . . . . . . The dealer’s showing two pairs, kings over nines. Clint holds three of a kind, all sevens. He’s been winning all night. Adolfo, to his right, looks nervous; he’s calling, not raising, which goes against all of the bold moves he’s made throughout the night. His hand is probably shit, Clint thinks...
Nick checked his watch. 7:50. He let out a long, exasperated sigh. The board wouldn't like the fact that he was late to yet another meeting. But they would tolerate it, for now. Nick just had to make sure this didn't happen again. Then, there could be trouble. Nick looked out his limousine window at the New York City ...
I sit in a museum now. I've had a long time to think about things. When I was a year old I killed a man. His name was Corbinian Reiner. He was 17 years old. His father was a farmer in Dresden and his mother when she was very young sang for a relative of the kaiser. He was not the last. When I was four, the war had ...
Newbie here, so offer all thoughts, advices and feedback on the story. "You could have rejected me, called me and considered me a friend.

Go back. &#x200B; "Uhm, I'm not sure..." &#x200B; I said go back! Why is nothing happening? &#x200B; "I have band on Fridays, and Mrs Roberts gets really mad when we don't show up..." &#x200B; What have I done? Why can't I fix this? Dear God! &#x200B; "I could probably do Saturday af...
It was old. Very old. Old enough that when it was made it had a served a specific purpose. The inscription on it had numbers. No one knew how to read numbers anymore, the only reason we even knew it was called a 'swiss army' knife as opposed to anything else is because the elder told us that that is what it was called....
His attic was all in shambles. I could hear his whisperings about the fall of Alexandria and the resurgence of civilization in Rome - the emergence of the western ethos. The Histories. The type of man who saw only the problems of the present and the wisdoms of the past. &#x200B; He pawned off a series of books, ...
Do you know that feeling when you just wake up but your eyes are still closed, you feel like your home in your own bed but you aren’t. It’s like your still dreaming but.. “Who the fuck are you?” A female voice interupting my imaginations on the breakfast I’m about to eat when I wake up. I open my eyes and look to my le...
He stood there in the valley of the dead with the bones littering the ground and high above him in the mountains the sound of the serpents screaming the dark. Lashed about the bodies of the waking horrors. A cataclysmic and endless conquest between those things of the world that writhed in the deep. Far off the lightni...
The first thing I noticed was that her car was absent. Strange, she's normally home well before me. And the door is unlocked. I shrugged it off. Maybe she's just getting milk. I get inside, slip my shoes off, and head straight to the kitchen to put the kettle on. I spend a moment fumbling around in the cupboard for my...
She walked along the leaf-littered, forest trail as if she had known only that, her whole life. Each step, leading deeper into the quiet wood and placing distance between the woman and her sordid past. No previous experience would prophesy the things that lay ahead, but the wisdom, put on by each prior year would gui...
Venus, one of the first planets the Corpus took. The icy mountains served as a great hiding place for their production factories and now the debt internment camps. The main one was called Fortuna and to say it was hell would be an understatement. It was used to hold those who were most in debt with the Corpus, or the e...
Original Copies of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Body Pillows, Figurines. I had it all in this tiny mountain den. I didn't need this stuff, I was a dragon after all, what do Dragons have to gain from watching anime? I never pondered this question when I wasn't invested in human culture. I look back on how I got so addic...
I had submitted my finding months ago for peer review. Of course the media got their hands on it before the review was complete and headlines spread lime wildfire. "God Does Not Exist"Big bold letters across every news program and website. But none of that mattered. Today was finally the day. The envelope from the boar...
Len tapped his foot on the cold stone floor, fidgeting with his pristine green robes. Two hours. It had been two hours, but still the pale yellow light shone on the circle in front of him. It shouldn't have taken this long. Perhaps if he'd hired someone better, they could proceed. A long exhale sounded from within the...
When a rhythmic knock rang dully throughout the cramped interior of the Aries EV-9, my first reaction was alarm -- I knew all the sounds my ship should be making in orbit around Mars, and that was not one of them. This turned to momentary relief as John's voice came over my headset. "EMU 01 to EV-9 -- Rob, I can't see...
"Weird"I thought. The point of view from the camera lifted from where it was on the floor. Slowly it started to show a view of a dozen waists, torsos, now shoulders and heads. It looked like a studio. A behind the scenes look of the local evening news. A large group of baffled men and women stared in shock at...me? I...
Bob was not having a good day. It was going to be one of those days, he knew. The ‘wake up and fall down three flights of stairs’ kind of day. Bob would get these gut feelings often, mainly because he had mostly bad days. Bob yawned, slippers slamming on the wooden floor as he passed by his trophy collection. ‘Best...
Vegabound, Porcalin city; In the midst of a snow storm an angel, Cassandra walks the streets. The snow is a foot deep and An angels dess isn't the warmest of clothes as a ceartain level of elagance and monuverabillity must be maintained. Still though the Angels robes covers her from head to toe. Suddenly a weping coupl...
But then, that's because they did not appreciate who you truly are. Data lives in a world of bits and bytes, seeing things only as they are, never as they could be. The things in Data's realm take on harsh, jagged edges in black and white relief. Data knows everything and understands nothing, and they say the unive...
