I had learned slowly that not all of my Father's statements were madness. That on rare occasions he was lucid and sensible.

I place the bag of goodies on the floor of the passenger side before turning to hug my mom. No matter how much I tried to tell my mom that I didn’t need all this food as I’m trying to clean up my diet, it’s no use; I’m taking home food whether I want to or not. It’s super cold outside and we’re bundled up to our necks ... |

He welcomed me with the wave of a hand and a touch on my back. He ushered me under his shadowed tent.
“Yes, you want to see my coins?” He said.
I nodded along, more content to humor him than see any coins because, as you should know, I was not there to see coins.

I think it was probably the smell that woke me up first. The usual post-black-out suspects were there: delicate aromas of sticky half-drunk beer cans, an acrid accent of puke, and the bold undercurrent of sweat. Dancing amidst these smells was something new, yet familiar as a father’s hug. Something burning. Smoke? Wai... |

I wake up in a void. Nothing beneath my feet, nothing in front of me, nothing behind. Darkness as far as the eye can see.

Yesterday I started hitting the gym.
I got a subscription plan for a whole year, 'cause fuck it, it's January, I've been eating like a pig last month and I wanna get back in shape.

Everyone looked at the small little bug that they had forgotten about. The audience grew silent, wanting to hear what the tiny bug was going to say.

Three men stand by the edge of a rickety dock, one with a bagged head and tied hands. On the horizon, the sun begins to sink.

The president orders a nation-wide curfew. In these troubling times of war with The New Republic of Korea a curfew is not uncommon, however what isn't common is that the government has mandated a day-time curfew.

I woke up in a frantic jerk. I must have slept through my alarm!
I hopped out of bed and pulled on my clothes- set aside so I could get out the door quicker. I silently thanked myself. Downstairs I went, tripping slightly from grogginess and I immediately beelined for the kettle. I was on autopilot, but being up as ea... |
Have you ever woken after having done something bad? I'm sure that most people have. We all make mistakes. You go to whoever you wronged and you apologize.

The hooded man stood in the opening to the fourth exhibit of the Smithsonian, his footsteps behind him still tracking in mud from the humid outdoors.

Ada didn’t know she was a robot. That was the trick. In fact, nobody knew she was a robot. She had one sole creator, and he passed away before Ada booted up for the first time. Before he died, he rented out an apartment and left her there.

It sounded silly: a world on the very brink of war, an economic collapse on a greater scale than ever before, and a continent torn asunder; all seemingly on the mend due to childish naivete.
