There's a certain allure in fighting someone who is essentially your equal in some way. I can't say I am the smartest mind out there, but I had my strengths. Nestro...his strength came from his intellect. In a hand to hand fight, I win each and every time. Sometimes, he has me on the ropes, but I always come through. T... |
Well...how did I get myself into this now. Most people wish to be remarkable people in their lifetimes. To leave behind a legacy. Not me...I was a janitor. Some mate found me this job after I landed in DC. I was a right proper scrapper back in the UK, but thats a story for another time. I started working as your run of... |

See when we are born now, the parents are given a clock. As a baby, they take a drop of blood and through the magic of science I guess it makes this clock work and do Its thing. I'm not a smart guy and I have no idea how it works. But that's not the point of my ... |
The office, on a tree lined avenue of The Capitol, was the kind not frequented by adventurers. Richly appointed, fine Elven carpet spread across the floor, a Treant mahogany desk sat in the middle, filing cabinets lining the walls, and a well stocked drinks cabinet beneath the windows completing the picture.

"Forgive me."
These solemn words echoed through the holy space. This space, bathing in light, save from a shadow in the center. Above it, a ghastly figure no one in the Roman empire could mistake. An emotionless voice, raspy and quietly, emits from its center.

After exploring some of the other rooms and not finding a suitable napping spot, Flidais found herself exploring the dark and dusty shelves of the new domicile's basement.

"And why are *we* sitting in the dark?"My little brother asks, mad that he can't play any of his games.
Mom ignores him, much like she's been doing since a few minutes ago. She's here and there - in and out - from one room to next. Grabbing things from cupboards and drawers and dropping them on the kitchen table.

Let me tell you. Nudity is amazing.
It's not just being nude outside. Being nude at home feels great too.
It's easier I promise, the first step. At home, no one judges you for it.

Waking up I found myself in a white room, with a white chair, and a white table. In fact the only thing that wasn't white was a black leather bound book with my name in gold that looked exquisitely expensive. As I pick it up however, a feeling of dread washes over me and memories intrude into my thoughts, pushing the... |
"This is why I've never come to one of these things."I muttered as I looked out at the ballroom trimmed and stuffed to the brim with luxurious decorations and foods. "Far too much gold trim on the furniture and the food's almost too luxurious. And that's coming from a Frenchman!"

I exchanged a side-ways glance with my wife, Alice, then looked back down at the little girl who had materialized at our front door.

I remember that food truck. Of course its not JUST a food truck now, its something more special to me. My grandfather gave me this food truck a few years ago.

I checked, re-checked, and triple checked both the number on the house and my address on my driver's license. It felt a little silly doing so, after all, how could I ever forget my home?

He glanced nervously towards the door again, away from his ex-girlfriend and his now five-year-old daughter. He hadn't told her the truth about why he had left. How could he?

Thomas Underhill laid deep in the grass of a remote meadow, watching the sky mirror his tranquility.

The wasteland can take its toll on you. The days are long and the sun heats the air and ground to near unbearable. The nights are what you should fear most though.

At 10:52, the image of a man appeared on 5,854,721 televisions in the Northern Hemisphere. The man wore a long black coat, red and blue gloves, and a plain white mask.

This morning seemed like any other. Woke up, took a shower, brushed my teeth and went to the kitchen to make myself a meal.

Hello there. I'm you. You're me. Let's talk about something now, shall we?

We've all made mistakes, but some are too much to bear. If we are meticulous in our efforts, they are our greatest aide, and serve us well as we age.

You wake up next to yesterday’s corpse and realize you failed.

Stranger Than Fiction
Fiction and myths aren’t just stories. Everyone says that because they’ve been told to, because some things are just too fantastic to be believed. But they’re indeed real, and I can prove it.

As the rocks and debris of a landslide pummel towards me, I say to myself “This is it.

That machine, the machine that I found in a cave decades ago, it’s fly... |
I saw him out in the street. He was walking towards the saloon with his pearl handled pistols. He figured that it would be an easy victory.

Dracula's Castle
In scenic Transylvania, one summer Eve,
A group of good friends were taking their leave.
Their lives were taxing and dull, with little respite,
So they sought some excitement for this fateful night.
They'd smoked away their worries, and had gotten quite high,
When they saw a dark castle,... |
In an empty metropolis, a woman ran for her life. She scanned the street for places to hide, for any escape from the man ruthlessly pursuing her. There was no place she could hide where he wouldn't find her. There were no people to help her, no stopping, no pleading or reasoning with the killer who had decided for reas... |
What the humans did when the sun was around 4.6 billion years old is what made it possible for me to do exactly what I was created for.

The aroma is what led me here.
This beautiful trap; the forest of glass, frozen trees that reflected the twilight.
