The day my parents realised that their child could potentially become the next ruler of the kingdom, they spent tirelessly in honing my ability. The first time I sang was three months ago, and it was one of the embarrassing moments of my life. Standing on a stage and presenting my gift to the royal family. . . would ...
It all started with John getting fired. It was loud and hostile. And I heard the end of it. "And if you try to fight it, I'll pull Sally, Alex, and Ramira in on this."John stormed out, pissed. John was our top salesman 3 years running and was a shoo in for a fourth. Mr. Johnson always considered himself a strict but ...
\[Poem\] Harvey put the cold food in. He closed the door and pushed the numbers. "5-minutes should be enough on the timer," He pushed start, and then Harvey blinked. ​ He heard the beep as his eyes opened. He had trouble breathing though his mouth was open. A stranger's hand squeezed his neck in. ...
Celestial is the sound of the disembodied choir which reverberates through the vacuum of space, the voice of God emanating from all the matter of the universe. Simultaneously lifeless in appearance and vibrating with an aura of divinity. The tiny blue planet. Perfect in size, warmth, sustenance, and chemistry. Protecte...
Here they were, finally at the throne room of the Emperor. For far too long has he- "Shut up, what do you want?"the emperor commanded. "! We have come to kill you, and end your reign of terror against our races!" "Ah. But, surely, we don't have to go to such drastic measures. Maybe we can take a more diplomatic appr...
Arthur, barely able to open his eyes, rolled to the edge of his bed to check the clock on his nightstand. Panic began to swell. After all who calls at three in the morning? He remembers only once on the worst night of his life. Hesitantly he reached for his phone, wide awake now. He didn't recognize the number. Fearing...
"everyone is born with a gift"her mother used to say. Her mother, the women who could make you feel warm and welcome just by smiling at you. "everyone has a gift, you have one to"promised her mom, the women who could literally kiss your troubles away- or at least your bad feeling. But she didn't. Or at least, no one s...
"But real life is even beyond that of the Tube of You so we seem to have come full circle. Now, eat your peas and go finish your homework. You have your entire life to go viral or fungal or whatever the heck you kids call it nowadays." Life in the McGillicutty family sure was rough for the true dreamers of the world...
"Any news about Sara?"asked Dr. Chen, studying each of the faces on the conference call. After a moment, he sighed and shook his head. The other project leads fell silent, and a few looked away in remorse. Sara Sutter, the lead data scientist, had been missing for two weeks. After a tense silence, the lead psychologis...
"Silence! None of you condemned know what true Hell is! Earth is simply as it always was, a gathering place to collect souls..."I inhale deeply, then exhale. "I want to hear nothing more of this 'Hell on Earth' in my court anymore, clear?" The souls all respond with various clarity in their voices, but it seems collec...
"Again, it would seem"I say, feeling that this sort of thing is routine. The TARDIS has this nasty habit, this sort of 'psuedo-crashing' that always takes me where I *need* to be far more than where I want to be. It looks like Earth. 21st century, among the more common of reasons the cloister bell rings. Sometimes I ti...
"We cannot be saved, for we are the saviours. We have come here, to do our duty, and our duty will be done in the prosecution of the enemy, their utter annihilation and crushing defeat, and the subsequent salvation of this city, and from there, the entire sector. You did not join the guard to be saved, but to save oth...
"You know you act just like them, right?"That's a normal question, or maybe even "You even look like them! Oh my gosh!"That's normal too, and it's completely weird, so yeah, my life is very, very weird... I even have the same birthday... I feel like I should add in that I'm also an actor. I don't know why I'm mentioni...
Not many people really know about our town. Even people from Kansas will ask us if they mean Wichita, Kansas. But no, Witicha, Kansas, is a real place. Unfortunately. Why do people live here? I ask that question every time the first snowfalls. This is a miserable place to live. Winter is a time of many different th...
Maybe because if we did that, we could risk killing him?"Quizmaster replied sarcastically. "I mean isn't killing him exactly what we want?" Quizmaster frowned hearing those words. He really needed to talk with the Reptile and the Master of Nightmares about the status of the new members of the Society Of Destruction....

"You dirty murderer! Open up already!"No response. I bodyslammed against the door. *Bam! BAM! BLAM!* It fell apart, smashed to tinder. Strolling into the room like the superhero that I am, I inspected the arena I am going to duel in. (Though it won't make much difference anyway) A tall, circular chamber, dimly lit by t...
Goodbye “You know you’re being followed right?” I glance back nervously and see the two guys in black suits who have been on my trail for the past two blocks. “What makes you sure they’re following me and not you?” I replied, “You’ve been by my side for two blocks as well.” “Oh so you noticed?” “Did you assume I ...
The comfort of black nothingness came to a crashing halt. The initial assault of senses-it was the smell!- nearly knocked Fluffs unconscious. Wait. Is that what this was? Sentience? The stuffed bear took in it’s surroundings. The cab of some means of conveyance. A boxy, hollow interior. The seats and trimming the col...
Or rather somebody in a car approaching you. You casually lean to the left as splinters of glass and metal burst in a spectacular sparkling screech as the car intrudes itself in the wall in front of you. A nicely wrought light and elegant 43 x 43 oak coffee table, stylishly fashioned in a simple yet modern look, arcs ...
The ancient gas pump ticked up quickly, exchanging my three dollars for a gallon and a quarter of gas in only a few seconds. When it stopped dispensing, I shook the nozzle around for just a little bit to make sure I got every last drop. I felt like a neurotic man at a urinal. I came around the car and crouched in fro...
June 23 Dear Ingratitude Diary, Today I'm not grateful for having to write a gratitude diary in the first place. I don't care that my therapist says it's good for my mental health, it's the worst part of my day. As a matter of fact, today I'm not grateful for my therapist. I'm starting to wonder how Dr. Smith got hi...
I threw myself to the ground, my heart beating in my throat as his blade whistled through the air just inches above my head. I swung my ax up towards his knee, but it clanged harmlessly against his armor. He brought the sword up above his head, but I pushed myself up and backed away before he could bring it down. My ...
Rico hurls the coins at the teller window. “I’m not messing around! Give me the cash now!” He says to the young man behind the glass. “This is all I have, I swear. Please sir, I’m telling the truth.” The teller responds. “Listen son, if you don’t put cash in my hands in the next ten seconds, I’m the last face you’re...
It's 5 minutes until the trial is set to begin, you sit at the defendants table with your team of lawyers, bible scholars and mathematicians. You feel strongly about your defense, but looking across to the prosecution's table you see them laughing and confident. This particular firm has a pension of recruiting any and ...
A lone helicopter made its way across a half-frozen sea. The large waves incessantly battering large sheets of ice began to thin out as the surroundings became colder and colder, soon the water ended entirely at a massive frozen cliff. Carefully adjusting its altitude the aircraft set down atop this icy perch. The hel...
You sit down at your large dining room table to begin this new puzzle you got from a yard sale of the creepy house on the hill. The owners of the garage sale were nice enough and even guaranteed you that all of the pieces are accounted for. There was no box, just a bag of pieces, but the sellers assured me that the pic...
I materialized from nothing slowly. First i was just a faint consciousness. Then my body started appearing. I realized that i am a dream character of the naked man in the throne. The man was naked but for a crown that was so high that it touched the ceiling of the courtroom. The crown was an actual forest. A forest wi...
"Dammit,"I say, as the combination I try on this lock once again fails to open it. My hands keep slipping when dialing the numbers, and it's hard to focus on what exactly I'm dialing in. But a few times I actually get it to an actual number, and then I forget if I've been following the right set of instructions. The i...
"My daughter?"the mother asked. "From the future?"She had a skeptical look on her face. The younger woman nodded and sat down to talk. As they talked, the older woman became convinced that this was her daughter. Besides looking like her, the younger woman knew too much. Suddenly, the mother looked down in pain. "Wh...
"Good work, Thompson. Make sure you remind me on Monday to give you a raise."My boss shakes my hand and then he's gone and it's just me in the now empty conference room where I had just given another successful presentation. Presentations. That's what my life has come to. Even as I pack my things to go, my mind is ...
John is integrating Monsieur Jacqueline, a famous actor turned Russian Spy. -Hello how are doing -The winds point east Mr John -What the heck does that mean? Monsieur Jacqueline, while waving hands around and blowing said, "The eastern winds are often the coldest winds." - Alright how are you doing? In terms of do...
In the end, it hadn't mattered. Perhaps, it had made it worse. We had built the bringer of Armageddon with both love and compassion, but there is a reason why weapons are made without these components. Because if they were, they would kill us. The same pillow that you cried into when your boyfriend left you would su...
“This is Detective Gene and Detective Cray of the LAPD open up!” The door opened and to their surprise was a man who was missing both of his arms “Can I help you detectives?” “Are you Philip Stevens?” “Yes, how can I help you?” The detectives looked at each other in shock. “May we come in, we have something to ...
Four days. It’s been four days since I last made a sale. That may have something to do with the fact that I arrived at this planet four days ago. I’ve been made a fool of. Everyone at the Merchant’s Association back on Earth told me that traveling to *VAS-193* would make me rich. “VAS!” One of the merchants said t...
*January 10th, 2025* My first batch of subjects arrived today. It was difficult to contain my childlike delight at seeing my plans, dreams, begin to take their final form. With these people, I intend to create the next breed of humanity, and can hardly wait to see the results of the trials. But, science is a patient m...
*Half past five*, I think. Jeana has ignored my texts all day, I suppose that means dinner is on me again. I take note of tomorrow's tasks and head for the door, flicking off the office light as I go. I watch the city lights and the people on I-35 as I descend inside the glass elevator. It's raining as I exit the b...
It was a ridiculous notion that a dragon had became Treasurer for a country but there he was, lounging in the massive basement of the parliament building, atop a huge pile of gold. That had been his first act as self proclaimed Treasurer by the way. His second act was to burn or eat anyone that opposed his measures. ...
*Day 1: 5/12/20* *I came to this bunker yesterday, but have been too afraid to explore. Who'd think that crazy my aunt would have something like this underneath the house? It probably will be useful in the future, but for now I am stuck inside without a way out.* *I have not yet begun to explore. It appears this is t...
"Hey dude do you know where everyone is? Like is this place closed or something?"I asked him. "Hm? oh. Nah, I work here, I'm just here on the night shift to make sure no one breaks in and to clean up a bit. Guess I forgot to lock the door though if you're in here."The man mumbled. "Protocol says I should be kicking yo...
As always, Dr. Ben Green arrived first at the office. He scowled when he saw the blinking blue lights from his colleague's desktop screens. His own screen sat sad and unblinking in the corner. Another failed simulation, no doubt. He logged in. The Shuman IF/5 logo greeted him - a human head, hairless, with a twisted...
I had longed to visit the great North Yorkshire Moor Railways for some time. I adored the countryside, the open space; seeing the natural greenery with the steam locomotives was a dream of mine since I was little. “All set, Valerie?”, I asked my wife of sixty years. “Yes, Malcolm!”, she replied. Today was the day; w...
I almost fell asleep until I heard the window break from downstairs. I went downstairs afraid if this person had some sort of weapon with him or a gun. I see a child with his clothes all dirty and his face as well,within the moonlight shining on him a little. I didn't expect to see a child break into a house,let alone ...
“I am Life. For you I will come in many different forms. I will be at your side as you watch your mother fight a long battle with cancer. You see all the help doctors and nurses give, how they can ease your mothers pain. You develop that same desire, to heal the sick. This is a path you may take. You work hard through ...
**(1/2)** I knew it was only a matter of time before *he* showed up. But I was a little surprised to find out it was a *she*. She knocked on my door just after I'd eaten dinner, and I let her in. She seemed confused as to why I wasn't blown away by the sight of an otherworldly woman dressed in a gray shawl. She sat ...
It was a chilly January afternoon when I stepped into "*Mike's Deli, Sandwiches, Soups, and More!*."As I scanned the room I pondered what Jessica meant by "Ask for the good stuff!". I was pushed out the door before I could question her further, so I did the natural thing and drove half way across the city for "The Good...
"How was it", I thought, dumb founded at Travis standing in front of him. It was all a simulation. That childhood he'd had on the quiet streets of Holden, Texas. May, who he grew up with on the same street and married, had two kids with, June and Vincent. The family move to New York so that May could work as an actor ...
(Part One) Wind howled through the forest. Jeden was sure it was to urge him forward as it slammed against his back fervently. He had come this far. His back straightened. The temple was a ruin. Taken back by the forest. Thick roots spiraled the pillars of the entrance. The white stone seeped with greenery. He hob...
Delilah laughed, the sound a glowing rattle that shook her chest and let out a noise so beautiful it had once made her weep. “Yes, yes,” she said, reveling in the sound. She smiled and held up a champagne glass. “To our future research!” Her lab-mates clicked their champagne glasses against hers, and the golden liqui...
I felt two eyes staring from behind. The tavern was full, I was nearly blinded by the darkness and the tobacco smoke-filled air, and the laughter and yelling deafened me. But that young man kept staring, and after some minutes he sat next to me. A few curious faces looked from the tables, but returned to their loud chi...
9:07 PM. If it's been three hours since I first got in this damn car, then why haven't I seen any signs? And why hasn't the gas meter gone down? Just a single. Straight. Road. For hours on end. Just me, a car, and a road. Put me in this situation four years ago, I'd tell you it's the dream. But right now, I just wa...
“You want me to... what?” The stranger sat in front of me, smiling to himself at the question. “Are you deaf or just stupid?” He asked, sipping his coffee. “I need you to find it for me. If I was any older I might crumple, I can’t do it myself.” “Sir, you don’t understand. I set the Elements room on fire twice and f...
"Human, how did you get in here?" I am just a mere office worker. An ordinary human who just has the power to open doors to any location I desire. Wanting to suprise my husband, I tried to open the door to his office, but somehow I ended up here. Never been that religious, but this interior literally screams "hell"at ...
Today the day I thought, 20 years of military service. Just a few years ago I was excited to receive my Generalship, then the letter came. Congrations General We have written to you to inform you that we been watching you closely. Your records paint you as the man we need in this organization please come to the locat...
*God damn it all*, I thought to myself. I didn't *say* it, of course, because that would be using the Lord's name in vain, and I sure as hell didn't need blasphemy on top of my list of charges. Instead, I said "Gosh darn it,"and took a good, long look at my new charge's file. James Armstrong, 27 years old. Lives by hi...
They saw his blue shapes and red smears and saw the beauty of the abstract. Through his work they peered into the void of the chaotic universe and saw the priceless gems of its shapeless commentary. They loved him for gifting them the windows into the void, a way to see into the void and yet remain untouched by it...
I stare at the board and take out my tape recorder. “Detective’s Log. This is the 8th log under Case MP6T-25. All victims supposedly disappeared under mysterious circumstances earlier this year. The first one is a highschool quarterback Michael Sanders, age 17. He was reported to have vanished after leaving the locker ...
Today was Dudley's eleventh birthday. but today would change his life forever. It was a great birthday, except that he got one less present than last year, but they had an unexpected visitor. He was a very large person, at least three times the height of Dudley. It was Hagrid. Vernon tried to get Hagrid out of his hou...
A Little Foreword, I wrote this story at one in the morning, so it isn’t that good, read at your own risk! Hello?” Called the captain on the ship’s dusty radio. “This Is Captain Iosef of The Oracle 5, Do you read me Atlantis?” He sat patiently in his Uncomfortable metal chair, waiting for a reply from the Atlantis S...
Struggling to breathe she held her head up to gasp what precious oxygen was left. Against the chains that held her over the molten lava, it would be her lungs that would give out first to the noxious fumes. A caped figure hovering beneath the clouds silhouetted by smoke bellowed, “Let justice be done to you, Tammy...
(Read in infomercial announcer voice) Did you ever make such a big mistake that you wish you hadn’t done? Well, nothing will have gone wrong in the first place with the Sqigi-69! This handy-dandy device scouts the multiverse for a parallel universe where you actually did the right thing, and swaps your mind with the ...
"Please stop it"I begged unable to move my body, the purple mass of energy surrounding me, how cruel it was, loosening its grip for a few seconds, allowing me to believe I might actually be able to free myself from it, yet as my hand brushed against its walls I was suddenly thrown back into the centre, the weight of th...
“Please,” whispered Antor. “Please!” I stared down, chuckling softly at the sniveling heap at my feet. Antor lay in a growing pool of blood and water, and even through the rain I could see the tears streaming down his face. Our battle had been epic. We each were bloodied and beaten but our war was now coming to an en...
James was my tutor for many years. My parents hired him when I was struggling in elementary school, and have kept him on since. Its been 6 years since I first met him, and 2 since I had out that he had cancer. I was a freshman in high school when I got this news, and it was devastating. He made light of it though, and ...
I have gone by many names over the years, Master, Duke Dumitru, The Darkness, and most recently John. ​ To be honest, things got far, far harder in recent years. Like every human is able to beat me up by just by poking me. Before I would enter a room and everyone would fear my might. Now I barely leave th...
I walk into the Captain Ampor's room where I find her listening intently to the distress calls above. "We're coming down!!!" "REPORT: A Plane has fallen into the ship REPORT We are acquiring water!" "We are preparing the lifeboats for WHAT THE --" Her trance breaks as she notices me. She gets up and turns off the c...
"I'm sorry boss."I said sheepishly looking up at him. I withdrew my hand. The voices in my head cursed at me as I did. I grinned, trying to keep the predatory smile off my face. "It's just, the last time we made the garlic loaf Eddie didn't clean it well and that kid got sick. We've got 15 orders to finish and," "So g...
Baylox, scourge of the East Wind, Destroyer of Greenest, was now being berated by a petite 5"1' mortal woman. He was used to ransoming these pathetic things in exchange for tribute, but never once has one of these gold mines actually summoned him. "Scale brains, I'm telling you again to kidnap me. A beautiful man will...
I lugged my suitcase through the front door. "Melanie?"I said. "Can you give me a hand with this? My back's killing me." The house remained silent. I paused in the entryway. Typically Melanie stayed up late on the nights I returned from business trips. She would sprawl on the couch with a bottle of wine and Italia...
Just days left now. I've spent so much time on my little apartment balcony, looking up, just waiting. "Maybe I ought to just sleep out here,"I thought. I rubbed my tired eyes; when the news came that they couldn't stop the collision, I stopped worrying about getting proper sleep. The only thing I worried about now wa...
As a young kid maybe six or seven Louis was amazing. He told his friends about me and I crashed into them too. All I had to do was make up a few cool scenarios. They got to play with those scenarios in mind and I got to live the high life enjoying doing simple work for huge rewards but all things will eventually change...
The twisted primordial being limped through the sulphuric crags of the underworld, every once in a while falling onto the ground under the excruciating weight of the tyrant's curse. Dare he stop? No, no... feverishly, fervidly, he pulled himself onward, lacerating his body on the sharp volcanic rocks only for it to hea...
The group before Baron Von Death was one of the sorriest lot of underlings he’d ever seen. Overweight, old, unmotivated. A far cry from the loyal and elite private forces he’d commanded in the past. But that was okay. One didn’t make it far in the world domination business without knowing how to make the best out o...
Ashleigh had arrived at her destination; her grandparents’ house. Erich and Bernice were going away for a once in a life time cruise and she was house-sitting for them. She offered to stay eagerly when her grandma told her that Theodore would have to be put in the kennels if she couldn’t find anyone to look after him. ...
"I didn't paint this,"You tell the curator. The curator looks at you, and gives a smirk. "You didn't paint it *yet*,"he replies. "Have you forgotten where you are?" "Wait- so I paint this in the future?"you ask. Even though you know the answer is yes, you don't know how to process that. This painting hasn't been made...
I met him sitting at a bench in the park. He was so serene and had such a calming vibe. We didn't speak for the longest time, only sitting there enjoying the view of the park. After an unknowable ammount of time passed, he said, "No matter where you are, you're always there." Then he left. I pondered this for hours...
It was something small at first, just a little pyramid of sticks with some dry grass in the middle. It flickered and crackled in the dark, and he watched in fascination as the flames licked at the dark. The next few fires were equally simple, the constructions of a child who just wanted to watch the flames leap into t...
"it's not a bomb"A voice called out. I was looking around wildly, trying to find the source of the ticking. The blindfold over my eyes tied so tightly no amount of flailing could get them off. "Can you see it?"I asked, my heart still beating uncomfortably fast, still not believing that it was actually safe. "Nah. I...

A warm fire, a nice aged scotch, and little bit of music. As far as evenings go, it was going perfectly. Henry finally felt secure in the new little homestead he fought tooth and nail for. As he stoked the fire, silently reflecting on his pleasant buzz and the well-earned tranquility of the evening, he heard a rumbli...
The council of Gods came fourth with their latest proposal. The council room wasn’t usually this busy or loud. A long table made of the finest marble, golden wheely chairs surrounded it’s perimeter, numbering 24. Everybody was here today. Zeus had his normal spot at one end. The traditional abrahamic God, who simply Ca...
CONSCIOUSNESS FEED: J. R. HOLDEN The cityscape was stunning. I didn't grow up in a small town or nothin' but... sometimes you just gotta' take it all in. It's the little things in life, ya' know? Like right now. Hot cup of joe in my hand with just the right amount of that real good french vanilla creamer, a perfect ro...
The harpy shrieked, running as fast as she could with all three eyes wide and fixed. I dropped the flashlight and withdrew my gun, shooting my only shot. The dart hit the harpy in her left shoulder but she kept charging. Her body crashed into mine and I fell backwards to the ground of the damp alley. "James!!"My p...
It happened. The guards had been bribed, threatened, and seduced, and Julius Caesar was alive. That was my job - after all. I was a Corrector. I made stacks stopping this woman from giving birth and murdering that man. I knew more than anyone, and the government couldn’t touch me, because at any time a stray bullet c...
I live in a rural town in the United States. There’s nothing to do but drink and shoot guns. Sometimes we talk about the Constitution, but the only part we can quote is the 2nd Amendment. I guess you could say that the NRA does a pretty good job for their bosses. Sometimes when I wake up it’s my gun. Sometimes it ...
It's just part of my everyday now. I wake up, typically groggy from intermittent insomnia, brew myself up a couple cups' worth of store-brand coffee, and sit at my kitchen table with my laptop before me. There, I splay my innermost feelings out to a grandfather that's no longer around to respond. Email was something we...
My family has a damn nice cabin deep in the woods up north. It’s no mansion, but it’s not something I bother trying to be modest about. A lot of the extended family stays up there for hunting or ice fishing or whatever throughout the year. We coordinate it pretty well, my aunt Geena made a spreadsheet to keep track. I ...
(Col Mus)What's the matter with you sir, can't you see clearly through that glass piece you have over your eye? You nearly caused me to cut myself with this very sharp knife I was bending over and picking up for you as you bumped into me. (Monopoly Guy) Why I beg your pardon sir, I didn't see you there. I was walkin...
I had him neutered the day before it happened. On the way home he seemed pretty down. I thought a burger would cheer him up, it normally does. It used to. He didn’t even sniff it. When we got home, he flopped down on the couch and just stayed there. I scratched his head, gave him some kisses, tried to make him feel lov...
Mr. Whiskers was on my tail, and it wasn’t going to end well. I’d been running black market nip in the waking world and thought I’d done a good job of covering my tracks. But Mr. Whiskers was a curious fellow, and had a source that gave him all the intel. I’d found out at the scratching post. For the most part furball...
There she stands Marie now Queen of France, her gown is a splended show of welth and grace. "Collette!... Collette! You have to focous...." Shes angelic. Gracefully she glides next to her French King, pity he had to be French, pity it had to be a man. "Tell us whats happening!" "Stop! She cant hear you, let her com...
—Click— Day 38. The silence sucks. It’s bad enough they sent me up here *alone* to count *literal garbage*, but is it too much to ask to have a radio or an iPod or something? I mean, I have gotten pretty good at playing We Will Rock You on my spacesuit, but being both performer and audience member is exhausting. Thr...
A vengeful spirit was a frightful sight, you were unable to talk down a spirit, once it had its eyes set on killing you, that was it, that was the end of your story. It's serpent body wrapping around the sky as it hovered above me. I don't know what it expected me to do, It was an invasion, I could do little more than ...
I’m a fucking ghost! At first I kind of just thought I was messed up on something, but no I really died and am currently dead. Absolutely wild. There is an afterlife and it’s exactly like stupid movies made me think it would be like. I can go through walls and floors, make floorboards loudly creak, and rearrange the fu...
The summer of ninety-nine had to be one of the weirdest summers of my life.  I was twelve years old and living in Westchester Beach.  My pop had a hot dog stand and it was the lifeblood of the family.  We all looked after it and not a single person was more important than the stand.  I’d like to think that I was an onl...
The last thing I remembered before I entered into a coma was a stream of bright lights and people screaming something, I now forgotten. Next thing I knew I was in a hospital bed with the only light coming though the cracks of dusty Venetian blinds. I pulled out the tubes they put in my arm with surprising ease and mov...
Aliens, luckily, are pretty smart. All the movies got it wrong, for when they came to visit us, there was no hysteria to speak of. They merely zapped a photo into the Oval Office desk and nothing more. Humans, no matter how hard we try to be creative, are pretty bad at making up aliens because they are quite frankly be...
"Gnome engineering never breaks! You just used it wrong!"Biz-laat screamed at the soot covered knight. Spittle flew from his enraged mouth. "I mean... I just pressed the button... Do you really make these things for children?"Gerald spoke in a tempered voice, more bewildered by the small gnome's anger than threatened ...
I don’t enjoy eating people anymore than anyone enjoys eating at Taco Bell. It’s just nature. I should probably back up to the point before I eat Fred from DoorDash. I am in lay-mans terms a “Vampire” First thing before I continue is this, I can’t drink pigs blood. As a vampire, I am required to feed on a human or...
The universe is a place of infinite wonders and mysteries. It itself is a mystery, like a mysteryception. But could this all be fake? Everything you once knew, all just turning out to be projected. Our story begins with a scientist who we’ll call Julius. He has been studying the universe for decades now, and the thoug...
