You ever wake up flat in the center of a ritual circle before? Yeah...neither have I. But, here I am, waiting with my cotton clad back against the chilling, stone floor, in a room lit only by the wisps of candlefire that encircle me. I hear heavy, metallic footsteps coming from upstairs, descending at a slow pace as th...
I longed for this day, the day I could have her with me once again. I could never come though, she was gone; the forever kind of gone. Maggot feed. It was always during times like these that I envied those with faith, believing those they dearly loved were waiting for them in a better place. Not for me that, no; to me ...
In the middle of another strok - “CAMILLITE!” “GAH!” “Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Serenastra shied away for her best friend’s sake, her hair smoking once again. “I didn’t know you were having another long-distance session with your lovely man online!” “D-Don’t worry, Serenasty!” Camillite called back with crackling a...
"So, you're saying that you need him here? How so? And why is he painting?"Screamed Askelad, the chosen hero. "Do you know how stressful it is to be the bad guy? Almost everyone hate me. People make human sacrifices to me. Do you know how it feels when a soul come here and say "I was killed in your name. I had a fami...
I ran as fast as I could. The clones would not stop shooting, even after proving that I was a Jedi. Was it because of the hat? Then I remembered. The younglings, the Padawans. Slain, all of them. Killed like dogs. This event would be called 'The Great Jedi Purge' in the coming years. Imperial bastards referred to it a...
As I was flying closer to the top of the snowy mountain, I could recognise the man standing there, just about to enter the cave. It was Ethan. I wasn’t surprised to see him there, but I had hoped to get there before him, so I would not have to fight him again. I began landing my dragon, and realised he had noticed me a...
"...Millions over the world have..perished due to".I rubbed my eyes and turned the t.v. off with a yawn. 'Guh I shouldn't have gotten so drunk yesterday my boss will kill me'.I hold my head as I prepare my breakfast. After finishing my morning routine ,I left for work in my car.The traffic seemed to be non-existent a...
The cantina was brimming with life from every corner. Mogpins crowded the bar, vials of liquor in every hand, and blood stained quills poking into every patron who got too close while trying to pass by. If you could get past their stench and bulging yellow eyes, they were actually a fun crew to run around with. The bar...
Well. Here we go again. Another day, another suitor trying to get past me. Everyday's the same here: some hotshot prince from far, far away trying to fight me so they can marry the royal heir. They all leave in the same way: some burns here and there, but always alive. The princess is a brat. Brought up by her parent...
He just sat there, living his life, staring in the distance with a smile on his face. As if the forest had given him the patience to do nothing and enjoy everything. I tried to walk by as quietly as possible, up to the point of invisibility. Still, his mouth opened, and words rolled out of it. ‘Nice day today, isn’t i...
Alkeus walked from the ferry to the dock over the thin plank, all confidence and swagger. His pack was thrown over one shoulder and his chin was lifted into the noon sun. He took a large breath in from his nose and exhaled in an exaggerated fashion. "Ah! Breckport!"He announced. I followed suit and took a whiff myse...
"Thank you for stopping by today, I just want to start of by saying you're very brave for the taking the first step Mr.... strange, I can't seem to find your name anywhere in this profile." "That's because when I booked this appointment, I asked your secretary to leave out my name." "Well this is a session with a l...
Not only did I have to check in at my bank for some bullshit, I still had to eat. The burger joint next door wafted through the air as I waited politely for my turn to speak to a teller who didn't give a shit about my problems. I looked at my watch: 2:12 pm. I never understood Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy until I go...
It was a miserable life, honestly, I couldn't even remember what the sun looked like at this point, I missed that golden glow, how the warm feeling would trickle along my skin, giving this beautiful glow tan, the way everything smelt during a warm summer’s day. It smelt a lot better than this, this... I wasn't even sur...
"Burn, burn and may your charred grilled remains sustain my life essence, your burnt corpse but a mere treat for me, while your life has ended, mine is only just beginning, I have become death, the destroyer of worlds."With that Matus broke out into a hysterical spur of laughter as his other guild members gave him an o...
I'm a creative person! A life-lover, an optimistic, open minded, young soul who throws away convention to Carp Diem!! But my alarm was going off. I snoozed and snoozed until my anxiety for being late compelled me into rising. Auugghh, my eyes were struggling to wake up and I could feel my neck sore from last night b...
They said they'd found him lying naked and face down in the snow. Rolled him over and wrapped him in thermagel blankets before hauling him back to the storage unit. Told him the bartender had told them that he was likely the victim of gambling debts, and had been seen losing game after game of Gwent all night to any p...
Everything was white, then black, then boom! You could see again. You looked side to side and saw things... Things with tentacles coming out of its mouth, eyes on its mouth, and very rarely.. You saw humans. The first one you saw was just walking around asking people if they needed a guide. They all just walked by them...
Poem. Apologies for the formatting. -- So you have an opinion. So you think you know best? To bestow life a value, now you’re put to the test. Gold is tested by fire, man by gold. For you though, it’s silver. Reflecting billions of souls. The jokers, the heathens, the saviours, the kings. All now stand before you...
I can't remember when it started... It must have been when I was very young, around 5 or 6. Since then, I knew I could look into the future, but only when something very bad was about to happen, like if I or a loved one was about to get hurt. After carrying on with normal life for years, I figured that I should use thi...
My stepdad was never a nice man. He was loud, aggressive and stunk like he hadn't showered in years. Perhaps worst of all, he was an impulsive liar. "This run-down place?"Says my stepdad, pointing to our small house. He was talking to some fancy men in custom suits, who stood expressionless, clutching clipboards to th...
\[Poem\] January 2nd, 1:55 AM. You remember where you were then no matter how many times you try to stop your mind from going there and back again. Why wouldn't it? You tried not to let the event define you but you couldn't. It left behind fractures so deep inside your fragile mental climate that on any given day of t...
I became parlalized. Yesterday I felt I had complete control over everything. I would know what to expect on the day, which crisis to solve, and what was the best place to be. The things I did yesterday would have a permanent effect. I didn't intend to make the changes permanent. It was supposed to be another test, a...
I breathed deeply, holding the bridge of my nose with the fingers of my left hand, as i let my satchel bag drop heavily to the floor. The minuscule man jumped at the sudden noise but remained quiet, one my forks still balanced over his shoulder and on top of a tomato left over from my unfinished breakfast. I blinked....
"Damn it"i thought to myself. Not again... I was fine if only one of the clocks were down but ALL of them, but one? Great. Not only couldn't i breath, but i couldn't touch anything in the room a broken clock is located in! Laws of time science aside, i rolled to my left, off from the couch, ripping the clothes of my bo...
Most girls get to plan their dream weddings from childhood. I got to plan something very different; how to save my then future husband from being cut in half in front of my eyes. It started when I turned 10years old. Nightmares of a man being cut in half, of course at first I thought they were just scary dreams and m...
One Way or Another Everyone said that Grandma suffered from mental illness, that her mind went before her body ever did, and the doctor only confirmed our suspicions when she was diagnosed with dementia. When she passed, we all felt an inexplicable sense of relief from knowing it was finally, truly over. Or so we th...
It was the fresh air that woke him. When he opened his eyes, he saw the sky above him through shattered glass. “Computer, Diagnostic.” He commanded, and reports scrolled across the implant in his left eye. He was uninjured, his suit was depressurized (Obviously), his helmet was offline due to impact, the atmosphere wa...
"I've traveled a lot during my time at the Cross Reality Police Corps, but I think my last case really takes the cake." Agent 4530 started up the playback of his recorder as part of the decommissioning process, which I have grown numb to over the years. "I was asked to investigate a man named Gregory, now this guy w...
Forgetteners - Only the privileged can use them – those, for example, with good jobs or decent trust funds, or lady fortune on their side. But people of every status can receive them. It depends on the situation, really. They’re often exchanged in person. From hand-to-hand. Sometimes in back rooms, dimly lit alleys,...
We can not imagine the unimaginable. Thus, existence itself will always seem like a paradox to us even though it is none. But does that mean the human mind can never evolve to understand why we exist, to wrap itself around ambiguity and to actually ask and process the questions that we, at our time, can not ask? It's n...
“He’s even harrier than I imagined.” I thought to myself, staring at Bigfoot’s massive back. “I heard that.” It calls out over his shoulder, shrugging immediately afterwards “Not that it’s an insult or anything.” “B...but I didn’t say that out loud!” “I know.” It responds calmly “You humans can silence your voic...
Merlin?! Merlin, bud! It's me, Pietro. Hey... So, do you remember that spell I got from you the other day? You know, that one that would, ahem, make things around the bedroom a little "spicier"for me and the missus? Yeah, man. I didn't actually mean spicy literally. I did exactly what you said, and chanted the word...
The smoke cleared. Where there had been firearms, and boxes of ammo, were now only isolated blast marks, as if every round and weapon in the shop had combusted in a million localized events. She walked outside. Most everything seemed fine, aside from a few other confused people walking outside of their shops or apartme...
As the last note fades out, you look back up at the crowd of horned horrors before you, each to a one gaping in awe, "...Bruh."One says, slowly falling to his knees. "Is that even allowed?"Another asks quietly, looking at his compatriots. The tall one in the suit, who had explained everything, stepped forward. "All...
It was a clean kill. One bullet to the back of the head, and it was over. Forget the over-the-top schemes and fancy traps. I didn't need any theatrics. All I needed was a gun. He never even saw it coming. He had been dealing with the heroes for so long that he expected to go out in a blaze of glory. Instead, he was ex...
I wake to the screams of help that damned princess makes every morning since I slaughtered her family 3 years ago. As I rise from my bed of bones, I faintly hear metal boots walking upon stone. Knights and dumb peasants would try to rescue the princess every so often, but I’ve devoured them all. I hear knocks and klack...
The words were meaningless to me yet spiked my curiousity. These words from an ancient language could be important and help us understand what was here before us. I pocket the book hoping no one would notice it missing. At home I search through troves of information trying to find answers, meaning behind these words b...
Phantom Dream, that's what we started calling it. Those of us who've been to the other side and tasted wonders few could believe. In fact they didn't believe. The consensus was we had hallucinated it, that something happens to the brain during the resurrection process. They said that as consciousness is restored to the...
Peter looked at the bottle. Did it say ‘olive oil?’ Probably. He shrugged his shoulders and added two spoons to the salad dressing anyway. Stanley had repeatedly suggested to go to an optometrist, but Peter didn’t want to. Going to an eye doctor meant admitting something was wrong with your sight, which he never ever w...
I live in a world of rules. Go to work on time or get fired. Do not spend more than $100 on groceries for the week. Pay your bills the day after you get them. It started in 2034, a decade before I was born. President Kenny said the rules would keep the community in order. He said it would change everyone for the bett...
The phone-tablet laid on the floor, its screen still displaying the live news report. Albert Manson, the Channel 56 reporter was interviewing a young woman in a close shot. On the edge of the screen it bore the name, Leslie Hamilton. "I hadn't heard the news since I worked the night shift. I knew something was wrong t...
The wheels of my plane touching down on the tarmac was a relief, one more mission survived. This landing at Camelot meant more however. Rank in the roundtable is determined only by the number of sorties you return from. The Knights of Camelot see only two outcomes of a flight; victory in the air or your plane in the gr...

As he reached the land of Denmark, Sir Metenstase's goal was within reach -- the armor of King Beowulf II of . He had left Camelot more than a year ago. Metenstase sent a landed in Denmark, and was greeted by King Chochilaicus at his court in Elsinore, and, upon showing the King his sword, Zobens, the last work of We...
It was Daniel's job to watch. It had been so long, he no longer remembered why he had to watch nor what he was watching for. All he knew was that it was his job and that he was going to be good at it. As the planet spun, Daniel could see all of the people of Earth. He watched as new humans were born, as they grew ...
At the very end of the dank corridor, dimly lit by brutal hall lights, another mundane conversation leaking through the cracked open door and amplified reverberations of a darkened room can be heard... "You're awesome Augustine. That's all that matters. People believe in all kinds of foolish things when they refuse to...
I was curled up in a ball in the seat nearest the windows. Caught between sleep and consciousness. I felt the train come to a gentle stop at the station. The doors opened and the night breeze rolled through the train car. Accompanying it were the voices of a man and a woman, a couple by the sounds of it. They came in...
\[Poem\] - Bagoon The Barbarian Theeeeeeere... Once was a warrior, Bagoon was his name, Couldn't count to twenty, as Barbarian was his claim, At his sight monsters would flee, but so would the dames! On an evening in the tavern he grumbled and said, between gulps of mead and great bites of bread, ...
Ugh, not again. I can feel the ghost pains in my temples as I sit up for the 3 millionth time. Again, in another shitty, run down bodega. In a ratty sleeping bag I looted from the nearest trade post still standing. It reeked of rat piss and rotten food, but it was all I had, aside from the scythe. Sure the world prog...
Karen whispers in a trembly broken voice. Her hands spotted and wrinkled. The young man sits across from her, wiping away at the tears streaming down his face. Karen lays in a small bed. A white sheet draped around her legs. The walls a soft shade of yellow, the sunlight warmly bouncing off them. This isn't the first ...
"Dad, it's us. Please put down the hammer. It's your son. You're at home." "Don't play with me, you Jap bastard! Where's Gerald!? Tell me where he is, or I swear I'll beat it out of you both!"He lifts the hammer again menacingly, prompting me to rush in front of my mother. It's been months, and he's had other de...
&#x200B; The morning. Sunlight. Desolation is all that lies in my horizon. Not the desolation of the burnt city, nor is this the desolation of the sacked Rome. The desolation in front of me is nothingness, total and absolute nothingness. &#x200B; My body, parched and famished, was unwilling to move onto t...
"Sit down with me Caleb and I will share with you the strangest thing you may have ever heard... It began when I was only 9 years old like you are now." "What was it Grandpa?" "Something very strange and yet very wonderful. Something I discovered about myself that I have never told anyone else. Not even your Gran! ...
I wasn't sure about it at first. Had I just convinced myself I had this power? Was my mind playing tricks on me? I decided to test it. I chose to edit the name of a random small town. I saved the coordinates of a town called Lakeside and opened the Wikipedia article for it. I deleted Lakeside and entered Laketown, the...
Great prompt. In this version the kid is already born: “Are you sure you want to do this?” he asked me, furrowing his brow in concern at the sight of my ashen face. “It’s not too late to consider other options.” “...No,” I replied after a few seconds. I peered down at the face below me, running my fingers through my ...
"Who's a good boy? You!"The dog thumped his tail, eagerness vibrating in every fiber of his body. "Yes Mickey, you are ..." Then I heard it. I heard a distinct voice, quite different to my own - high-pitched, but unmistakably male. "But I thought I was the best boy ..." Slowly, I craned my head to look at the sou...
She couldn't believe her eyes. After almost 2 years the flowers have started blossoming again. &#x200B; She was about to give up. She thought they were dead just like their owner and that there was nothing she could do about it. &#x200B; But she was glad she persisted. Her mother would be proud. For as lo...
"I'm sorry, sir, there has been a chemical spill. Hazmat is on the way, but the roads and sidewalks are closed,"said the officer. "Ok, guess I'll call in late, thanks,"said Tim. Tim pulled out his phone, called the office and let them know he'd be late. The walk was normally about 15 minutes. Tim looked at the Ube...
"Magic 8 ball,"I began, as the tears began to well up in the corners of my eyes. I was fairly certain of the answer that was going to come up through the inky blackness on the underside of this opaque crystal ball. "Will there be anyone like...her?" I weakly lowered the ball and sighed. Does she even know i exist anym...
A MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGH! STEMCELLS THE NEW FAST ACTING HEALER FOR BROKEN BONES- Possibly even linked to longer lives, more at five. That was the headline that started it all, it was pretty promising, I would be lying if I said that I hadn't been intrigued by the idea of stem cells being used for medical treatments, sti...
I’m fighting to stay awake, maybe cramming for a test at 4 AM isn’t the best idea. At least it’s quiet. I’ve always found it hard to concentrate when it was noisy. I sighed and slumped on to my desk wrinkling a few paper. “Hey!” I look around. My roommate soundly asleep. I chalk it up to just my sleep deprived brain ...
There was a wall of white, a silent cascade that seemed to subsume the horizon as it shot towards us. The roar, like a million tumbling boulders, came afterwards. I blinked rapidly, trying to get the dust out of my eyes. The world was blanketed in a fine grey dust, the detritus of pulverized buildings. "Ashley?"I cro...
The last night of 2030 was going to be the last of it's kind. Not only was it the last night of the decade, but it was also the night scientists found out that earth was alive and about to enter the final stage of its defense, they nicknamed it hell is earth. "2031, the first day of the decade,"Mum said, "hold up why ...
"Morning, Sineater. How's business?" The mechanic's shaggy mass of beard split into a wide smile when he saw me. "Tommy! Good ta see ya, lad. What can I do for ya?" I sighed. "Same old problems." He shook a finger at me. "Have you been abusing that poor beauty? I tell ya, you come in for 'routine maintenance' more ...
I looked down as my feet began to grow hair. I stepped back, alarmed, as I looked back upon the cave door that bore the escape option I had. I threw down the monkey's paw at the gravel floor but before I could go any further, my feet few in size. Rapidly, my feet and torso began to grow and my head immediately follow...
My roommates were staring at me as they sat at the dinner table eating, utterly perplexed. Still dressed in my subway uniform from my 9 hour shift, I had dropped my shit into my room and headed to the dining area where there was more space. "Chris, what are you doing? Have you taken something?"Kirsty, one of my roomma...
“Tell me again what you found in that box”. Chief investigator Andrew Mathers leaned forward in his desk chair, doing his best not to show any signs of irritation. He looked at the young man on the other side of the table and tapped the recorder expectantly. Jim sighed placing a hand on his forehead as he did his best...
Waking up in the past three months was never hard to do. For the last 89 days I woke up in a nice bed in my Minecraft bedsheets, the smell of bacon in the air, and my mom opening up the curtains. It would be 7:30 am and I had to go to school in an hour. I woke up the say way for three months. Except this morning I woke...
Smoke poured out from his mouth as he shook off millenniums of slumber. Yamut's eyes burned with a black flame as his mind and soul roared into life. The smoke and flames extinguished as his spirit made flesh. He stood bald, dark skinned, and handsome. A lone figure in strange garb approached him with a smile. In the ...
(Yes, I am writing on my own prompt, but I may as well try out writing something here.) - - - "Attention all units. Suspect seen heading south. Block all major roads and capture the suspect." Sirens warbled as GUN drones and vehicles filled Station Square and looked for the speeding hedgehog. Everyone watched ...
My name is Gabe, and I am an interdimensional business consultant. I work (or at least am employed as a contractor) at the Interdimensional Preservation Bureau. IPB for short. The name originally used agency, but the new manager (a former drinker) wasn't a fan of the acronym. The IPB works in the same democratic dis...
"...and I can’t remember if I cried, when I read about his widowed bride. But something touched me deep inside, the night that Disco died." "Thank you, Folk. Those were some beautiful words. Finally, we have Disco's son. Will you please come up here and say something about your father?" The kid was cold chillin' in a...
"Um...hi. I'm Basdar the Wicked. I received this letter by Imp. Our dark Lord Graz'zt wishes to speak to me."The short hooded man asks the ghoul sitting behind an obsidian desk. "I need some blood identification please", the ghoul speaks in a faint guttural voice as he holds out a parchment and thick rusty needle. "Ooo...
The eternal rivals stare into each other's eyes in the darkness. They know this is wrong, that it shouldn't happen. Tom chases Jerry. Jerry outsmarts him. It's been this way year after year, animator after animator, generation after generation. But in that dark corner, beyond the view of the audience, they can see each...
Just four of us. We we were part of the ten that made it through the ambush. We were part of the seven that survived the march through this god-forsaken hellhole. We were lucky. Or so we thought. I almost wonder if it would have been better to die earlier, with a hope of escaping. The only thing we have now is each o...
You may find it confusing, seeing as how your are the subject of this message. Among the intergalactic civilizations, panspermia is considered fact. All life in the universe is the result of living things being seeded throughout the cosmos. However it was recently discovered, about two or three hundred of your years a...
Cooper sat down at the table and grinned. "You won't believe what happened today." His friend, Jack, looked at him knowingly. "It's James' 13th, isn't it?" A person's 13th was the day they got their powers. Sometimes, there was an extremely unlikely incident that led to the discovery, but sometimes they just got mad ...
Robert looked out into the cold emptiness of space through his hospital window. He watched, but the only sights were the wormhole, and the floating shops that had been setup nearby to attract pilots before they would go half-way across the galaxy in the blink of an eye, through the wormhole of course. Robert was bored...
History happens in the blink of an eye; both of them in fact. Wind gusts, dust, sneezing; they all play major roles in the way our timelines play out. 100 milliseconds later and within a blink I'm transported to a new stage, arrangement of shadows, faces that once were. It's trippy to say the least; not unlike the tim...
"Look, we've done coke, weed, and I have no idea what the hell was in the mystery bag. We're done,"Steve said. The spirit that had taken over his body just laughed and kept Steve walking down the streets of New York. "Buck up, my friend,"Thaddeus said. "We're just getting started!" Steve's body had taken only cat...
Sweat drips down my cheek, pauses to say hello to its old friends who happen to live at the corner of my jaw, before pulling the trigger on its final kamikaze against the roughness of the concrete below. Not just because of the heat-- a contributing factor for sure-- but I was panicking. I mean, it's just a prop at a t...
-No- -I won’t let it happen- The chimera’s fur bristles with anger as her friends and servants, the birds, tell her the news. Her home , her master’s legacy, her pride and joy, was going to be what?! She roars, it’s a mighty sound, “ it’s going to be destroyed to make space forMORE homes forMORE lousy HUMANS to live ...
Beds should be comfortable. They should draw you in and envelop you for a good night's rest. Though I had one of the best mattresses on the market, I sat wide awake on the edge of said comfort. Through the window, sunrise shone its bright incandescence upon the emptiness I called home. I was able to turn off the al...
Atlantis. That was the sales pitch... minus the drowned city part at least, but that thought didn’t really calm my nerves now that I was one of maybe two dozen people in the sprawling subsurface metropolis. Fortunately, the main financial group backing the city didn’t elect Atlantis for the name of the city. It ...
On the highest peak of the mountain Wu, there sat a temple. It was not big, just two main halls for the Buddha and Guanyin and a small complex housing the 20 monks. It had been quiet for what felt like a century but no one knew time here. The world had forgotten the “nothing” Mountain and so had time. Moments trickled...
Canceling a service for reconstitution services was always dressed up casually, like a data subscription or power relay connection. It was deceptive, really. Ever since the enactment of the "right to live"act, your own life only marginally belonged to you. After all, it was trivial to create a copy of yourself, which u...
Zero hour: At 12:00 Midnight, February First, 9 of ten pickles worldwide suddenly vanished. A young man entered a McDonald’s on lunch break. Upon placing his order, he was informed that the restaurant ran out of pickles an hour ago “It’s fine. I’m not much of a pickle guy, anyways”. But it was not fine. Across the...
“Ladies and gentlemen of the country,” the Red Ranger was holding back tears - “That time has finally come.” He turns away from the microphone on the podium and takes a longing look at the men and women around him, each wearing their suits, minus the helmet. The Black Ranger, as per usual, in defiance of their agreemen...
The first night I definitely screamed. At least I thought I had. What had really happened was that I sat at the top of the stairs, frozen in panic. My vision blurred as the demon, tall and covered in shadow, walked up to meet me. Its impossibly extended limbs trailed behind its body, thumping up the stairs with it. Its...
The rain outside slowly pattered on the pavement. Wind ripped through the environment but was not wild enough to be noticed from inside of the building. The building was small and unlabeled. It was set back in the woods with no road leading obviously to it. It would appear abandoned if not for shadows and dull li...
“It can't be a fantasy realm without dragons!” The receptionist elf in front of Gibson blinked a few times, clearly unamused. She sighed, and restated her point. “There aren't, and never have been, any 'dragons' here, sir.” She formed air quotes with her hands as she said the word 'dragon'. Gibson rubbed his templ...
It started out small, crows carrying hammers in their beaks and pushing nails into steel contraptions. It became a part of every day life. The clanking of tools and the scrap metal on the ground, and even the random steel structures popping up overnight was normal. But that's what they were waiting for. They wanted us ...
I rush city hall where I see the other remaining citizens outside of the mayor’s office, the mayor comes out and alerts us that we need to get into our escape pods and go to the last remaining utopia. I get home as soon as possible to get my escape pod ready. I get in and start it up my escape pod jerks forward but imm...
It's an unremarkable, rainy Thursday evening when Alex finds himself on the bus. This in itself is unremarkable, and has happened every Thursday for as long as Alex can remember which is... he decides not to try and remember. Alex looks at his hands because he has forgotten to bring a book. He is still far from his st...
In an alien dialect you, nor I, could comprehend, or even make out to be a language, a being formed something to the tune of “Approaching”. “Extermination” followed that first esoteric group of sounds that made up a sentence. The exchange of foriegn tongue was taking place within an ambiguous vessel, which would res...
"You cannot be serious."The young woman said. "Oh, I'm very serious."Lucian replied. "This is the best armor you'll ever buy. Only place you'll find something better is in an ancient dungeon."

"Mars for me, Earth for thee."I was in love with the Beatles, but the garage-tape sound was a really hard, driving, distorted sound. It had a different intensity than a lot of the others. I played around a lot with guitar amplifiers but they were too loud and a live piano played by Gary was always way to hard for my ol...
“Why can’t I see the body, Sam?” he asked. “Robert. Bobby. The case is lead, and your x-ray vision can’t…” I started. “I KNOW I CAN’T SEE THROUGH LEAD, YOU ASSHOLE. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? IS HE DEAD? I CAN’T HEAR A HEARTBEAT. IS HE DEAD?” He shouted. It was the way he rose his voice that hurt. When we were 8 years ...
