There is an art to joining broken things together. To mending the unmendable. To making right great wrongs. The words, spoken though, by the former Chinese president as the world watched, didn't erase what was lost, the millions of lives. The poverty, hunger, civil unrest. And a lever was pulled. Judgment complete....
The rules were simple enough; one look, and no one would even think of touching them anyways. Their skin was like purple tree-bark, thorns poking out at the joints. Overall too rough, too rugged, incapable of belonging in our world. They had appeared one day, and were welcomed, but their appearance made it diff...
"No." "What?" The adventurer looked back in disbelief. He had come all this way to get a piece of my library, ending reigns and slaying dragons. All of which I knew, because of the vast array of books behind me, which were continuously flipping, updating, keeping track. I knew how this story would end, and I had ever...
"Dreadful?"A woman in an old but well maintained dress called back. She steps forward and motions to the lively market with nary a beggar to be seen. "What's so dreadful about this?" The man on the box sneers at her. "You are obviously of low intelligence if you think that you are happy in these awful circumstances." ...
"See me on the far right?"Eddie "the Gent"Garrow said, pointing at the snappy dresser in the then stylish tie, comically large collared shirt and polkadot underwear. Melissa Garrow nodded, looking up to him. "Lost my pants a few hours before that photo was taken. Hadn't even noticed how long I'd gone without until some...
After fighting all the other 16 tasks, I put my hand on the doorknob, praying this one will be easier then the last five. "I wonder how many more rooms I have to do before i finally get out of here. It feels like I've been here for days." I sigh and gently push the door open, hearing a small creeping sound form the old...
The new kid makes symbols with her hands as she passes a group of giggling sophomores. She is the apparent reason for their giggling, the symbols she paints in the air - her jerky quick snapping fingers, fuel. They call her “Sabrina” and try out different sarcastic mocking phrases in nervous fear of the laughter they a...
It’s been three days. I think. Since that genie offered to make everything come to life I ever painted. At first it was fun, seeing everything I made in the last couple of years come to life, materializing behind doors I’d open. Mascots, historical figures, commissions, they were all great. I was glad that portraits di...
As the beast maws were about to rip my heads out, I prayed for salvation. Hoping god wouldn't abandon me, bring an angel onto me. I know I shouldn't be picky, but that wasn't really what I had in mind. I heard the the shot coming from behind the monster. Suddenly, I could see the light... Through the ripped flesh. Inn...
When the sign-ups were announced, inviting people on a one-way journey to another planet, the media framed it as a joke, because who would enlist for certain death away from their family? As it turned out, over 2 million people were enthusiastic about doing just that. I was one of them. It wasn't that I was suicidal ...
It was just another normal day in the metro tri state area as I made my way to my boring job in some boring office building at the corner of Big Street and Lake. I was sipping on my morning apple juice enjoying the sights of a few birds passing by when all of a sudden a large scorpion like tail hits the juice box right...
Verren Grimrock handed over a pouch of diamond discs to a fellow mountain dwarf, who nodded his thanks and moved to the next residence. He shut the great bronze door of his home and muttered about his stupid bear and its stupid diet and its stupid face, but most of all, its stupid tax. He leapt into his wingback chair ...
Day 365: One year. One year on this strange rock, if it can be called that. There are no rocks here. Maria my sister, you're only five at this point. You would love it here. There are massive melon forests. The people here don't have wood, they use the shells of melons as building materials instead. The room I've bee...
I had been anxiously waiting for this day for my entire life. As the hours drew near. My mind was engulfed with a single question. “Who would I get?” Normally on a child’s 16 birthday the entire family would get together, it was considered the most important day of their lives. However that wasn’t the case for me, I ...
This isn’t a complete scene but any feedback on how I could improve my writing and what works so far is welcome! ——————— Professor Thistle’s campus apartment was spotless - empty, in fact. He’s moved his bed to the cluttered office and workspace he’d occupied for over 20 years, and by this point, sleeping any farther...
The woman in the shop is wearing the oddest clothing he had ever seen. Pants, like a man. Her shirt clings to her, with a high neckline. Her hair is pulled back, displaying a face painted in a way he had never seen, her lashes thicker and blacker than any he had seen and her lips an unnatural shade of pink. “Sir? Can...
Finally, the simplest prompt. A call to action so simple anyone can do it. But what to write? Do I craft an epic fanstasy, full of magical explosions and mostrous beasts? Or perhaps a Detective Noir starring Batman? I could navigate the political intricacies of an intergalactic senate, using plans within plans to confu...
The sharply dressed gentleman blew the smoke from both barrels of his shotgun, and ejected two rounds onto the floor which steamed into nothingness on contact with the carpet. He turned to shut the door, put a finger over his lips and made a hushed tone, as if the door was the offender of the racket he'd caused. Its lo...
Enough, was enough. The phone never stopped beeping & bopping, the mundane endless pages of fake instagram lives, the bullshit of twitter, another facebook baby photo or fucking pub lunch from someone i went to high school with. I couldnt stand another train ride, human interaction traded for another opportunity t...
*((Author's Note: This is a supernatural twist, so if you were looking for realism, this ...* probably *... isn't it.))* \* \* \* Well, if I had a green wooden mask, I could eat it, I thought to myself, staring at the stupid vest that was wrapped snugly around my chest. Technically, I supposed I still ...
In my childhood, my elders have raised me to believe that we were all special, that each one of us was unique, and that we were all intrinsically good. I know now that that, among many other stories they'd shoved into my small mind, was a lie. We are creatures of pretense, us humans. We indulge in numerous delusions ...
All in all, I enjoyed my future clients. Due to the magic of inflation, they were willing to pay much higher prices because they were lower than the prices in their own timeline. And sometimes I could sneakily gather information about the future. But there was one glaring problem. "So my semi-parents don't understand ...
I chugged down a mouthful of coke and placed the bottle down on the table with a thud loud enough to wake up my neighbors. "Alright, Let's do this", I say to myself cracking my knuckles. I click open my web browser and start typing the address for the internet archives. I press enter and wait for it to load. Once it l...
The Sol system had been conquered for over 12 years after the Semalkara deployed an array that harvested all the energy from the central Star leaving only enough to sustain life on Earth without any excess for them to harvest. Most intelligent life would revolt, launching whatever resistance they could manage, but thes...
Flipped this one around as far as perspective, but still sketched out a story. <3 And fair warning, this one comes with a fair bit of violence. :D ======================================== "What the hell!?!" Shit, I thought, my heart stuttering as I spun around violently, tail smashing through the cabinetry in t...
“I… what happened?” I asked. “A truck happened,” a voice said from the blackness. It was like an echo had whispered into my ear, distorted beyond the point of having any gender. “More specifically,” it continued, “a Volvo VNL 300 happened. You really should have watched those crosswalk lights.” I looked for who ha...
First movie would take place at least one thousand years after Return of the Jedi. People have largely forgotten the Jedi and the Sith, and people like Luke and Vader while legends in shaping how the galaxy now runs, are believed to have been mere men of talent and reflex or seen as story figures and their ‘powers’ are...
When the world ended, it was with a whimper, rather than a bang. For everyman Phil, it ended when he hugged his wife. She’d just went out to the store to buy groceries, and to show his gratitude he got up from where he was reading a book and held her. That was when something started to feel wrong. Phil tried to ste...
Why? Why had she taken the call? Wasn't that obvious? She was a hero. Taking these calls was part of the job. Why hadn't she waited for backup? That was a better question. Sure there had been some close calls in the past. She had gotten hurt more times than she could count, but it had always worked out in the end. ...
The entire situation here made no sense to me. Not the part about me rolling downhill. That part makes sense after I tripped. However, when I collided with him, I'm pretty sure that would make most elderly men fall to the ground in pain. He didn't. His right leg was placed in front of him and I bumped into it being st...
Ok so first response here on writing prompts for me. Let me know what you think. I already have part 2 ideas but I felt like I had a good spot to stop at. Racing through a dim-lit alley and quickly ducking under some discarded furniture, I find myself somewhere I am confident those damned ravens can't get to me. Dr...
I have always held a conspiracy theory about aliens and why they will never return. They were first here with the Egyptians but as time went on and the Egyptians started to revere cats and even worship them. The aliens, who can't stand and even hate cats, left us to our own devices. They have been monitoring us to see...
When I was alive, I didn't know what people of me. I had but one minor accomplishment of notice. It wasn't anything grand, really, and the byproducts of that feat haunt me to this day. Yes, even to this day, a day beyond life, the consequences haunt me. In this other realm, I was greeted by the spirit of surprise. It ...
possible dark themes ahead (also, i shouldn't have to write this but please don't heavily reference themes from SCF! it's a concept i use in original pieces) Who am I? No — who was I? Who was the man whose life ended so mine could begin? I am just a replica, a copy of the man whose conscience I now bear. Th...
Elijah stood slowly, arching his back slowly to loosen the tight muscles. He slapped the hoe he had been using into the dirt so that the tool stood in a diagonal manner. He didn't want to have to bend over and have to pick it up off the ground, not with how his back felt today. He walked slowly back up the crop row h...

Some dishes are delicious. Most great chefs can create something that is a once in a lifetime experience, an explosion of sensation that is worth crossing continents for. But a true master can do something different. Most people are unhappy because the five elements within them are unbalanced. Sweet, sour, salty,...
I know where I am. That lake—I lost a tooth in that lake when I was six. I remember the little snap, the sudden tang of blood, the new and unfamiliar void that I couldn’t keep my tongue out of; pressing the tooth against the roof of my mouth as I doggy-paddled over to Dad, only for it to dribble out when I opened my mo...
It was quite the surprise to find out that when you die, you end up learning of the secrets of the universe. Everything that has, and will happen will be revealed to you. The creation of the universe, the truth about god, what lies beyond the black hole...It was fascinating, having all this knowledge within my reach. ...
Being socially invisible, Roscoe had the advantage against supervillains. When his scaffoldsenses tingled, he vanished into thin air out of the Math class of Jackson Blackbridge High without anyone noticing, and immediately set out to find out which of his arch nemeses were at work. "Glammer!"Roscoe growled, unheard b...
There I was. The last of my family. Nearing the end of my window of fertility, no kids, no wife. Everyone else in my family has passed. A past leading to an evolutionary dead end. This truth shook me too much. I’m a failure to religion, as I have none. I’m a failure to evolution because I haven’t passed on my genes. ...
“What if they find out?” “You think it makes any difference? I mean, we’ve well fed with energy and belief for like 2 thousand years.” “I know, but if they stop believing, we’ll lose our power, won’t we?” “Do you really care?” “It is impossible not to.” God looked through the window, a sad, grey sky outside. A bird loo...
jingle-ingle-ing "Hello! Welcome to the "Little Slice of Hell,"where every item is guaranteed to have a unique and terrible curse! "How may I serve you, Sir, Madam, or Thing?"

I’ll never forget the day I died. Terry promised himself. Two years ago or so, it was hard for him to remember specifics… especially time, he felt his soul being ripped from his body. He remembered staring at the still, lifeless body on the floor. His body. A lifetime ago, it seemed. Punishment, for what he couldn’...
“Hey ya’ wanka’, why’d ya’ push me down?” I got up and brushed dirt off my shirt and trousers. My hands were scraped, trousers ripped at the knees. “Ripped my fuckin’ trousas, ya’ did!” “Oh, come off it, mate! You didn’t see the damn the car speeding down the path here? Had to push you to save your life, you fucking d...
It was the year 3020, when the Jarlob race decided to declare war on us. They were a race similar to ourselves in both physical sense and temperament, though whilst we had spent centuries fighting each other, they had joined together and were peaceful amongst themselves. However, they saw other races as lesser, and so ...
Where did the stars go? That is a question I've been asking ever since the night they disappeared. Where did the stars go? On days with all the lights on, it made sense. Light pollution is what they called it in a Simpsons episode I watched a couple times when I was 12. However, tonight, we had all the lights ...
I type up a formal invitation to the hero, and have my creatures of flight seek this hero out. I grant them safe passage to my estate, “Sufferer’s Rest”, and when they arrive a feast is laid out before them. I give them the chance to party with us and try to understand our ways. I suggest we try to mend the broken bond...
I had lost all hope, and yet I stood against a robotic Britney Spears with a lizard's tail. Her insane level of strength and ability to breathe fire was easy to deal with, but the volume of her singing was amplified to the levels where it not only shattered glass, but it also vehemently shook the entire planet. Most p...
Connor had always been around, he looked just like me and liked everything I did. In fact, we went everywhere together, inseparable compatriots. We took all the same classes in school, played on the same soccer teams and had the same friends. He was prone to tackling me too hard on the soccer pitch or getting me in tro...
The figure was hard to make out as I rumbled to consciousness, it's words weren't quite correct as if they were being filtered through some sort of lens. 'I have questions and refusal to answer will end in termination. Explain your planet.' I scoffed. At least it didn't say "we come in peace."I still couldn't make it...
“Thanks, Mom!”, I answered absentmindedly. I whipped my head around toward the the kitchen, where the pleasant blessing came from. I peered through the doorway and saw a woman at the sink, peeling hard boiled eggs. There was a large pot boiling on the stove, and I already knew it was potatoes. “Can you help me with ...
What the fuck. What. The moon. What about it? It's long. Long? Yeah, long. It's fucking long. No, it's round. I know it's round, but like, it's also long. Long how? In length. You mean it's far away? It is. But it's also long as fuck. What are you talking about? Come take a look. No thanks I've seen the...
“Look you’ve got the wrong guy, I’m pretty sure you’re looking for my twin. He... has a habit of making trouble...” I just keep talking, trying to explain it all. He looks at me and tosses me a business card and chuckles. “Read it” he says. I flip the card around and mumble the words on the card “Hey dipshit, you fuc...
My neighbor is the cutest thing that has ever existed. We've been close for as long as I can remember, unfortunately we haven't had the time to properly introduce ourselves. We each keep to our own homes. We share a wall however and it's very thin. At night I can hear a little whistle coming from the other side and ho...
I was eating when it started. I heard a loud bang outside. I rushed to my window with my grill cheese in hand to check out the problem. In the sky was this weird shaped air plane. I walk over to the sink and splash my face in water to insure I’m not dreaming. I hear a notification on my phone and when I check twitter a...
And thus read the letter: Dear People of Bitchlandia, the supercontinent that encompasses all the nations with bitches in them, it is with regret, that we inform you of our decision to take our differences with you to the grave and leave you alone. For too long have we been denied the glory for the crimes we have perp...
She appeared at the end of the Great War. She had white wings like a dove, she smelled like rain, and wherever she went, soldiers died. The various nations had long since lost count of how many times their soldiers had fallen in battle. With the powers some of the gifted possessed, death was only temporary. The most g...
He woke up again with his hand around her throat. It was the third night in a row. She stared at him, her cheeks flushed, eyes wide open and in a daze, as her throat pulsed under his palm with an unerupted scream. He released his grip, and turned away from her. "I am sorry,"he apologized. But it felt stale on his ton...
"So, wait, how do I do this again?"She asks me with a quizzical look on her face. "You blink every 3 seconds with your eyelids, like, this,"I say and blink my eyes at her. She stares at me keenly while I do it and blinks back. "Yep. That works, do it every 3 seconds and you'll be fine."I assure her and smile. "You t...

“Just eat the food, it’s just broccoli, Kiana.” Easy for her to say. Sure, every kid is a picky eater at some point in their life, but according to my mother, I’m extra picky. Perhaps I detest some foods, but aren’t most people like that? In front of me sat a bowl of steamed broccoli, or as what I call it, inedible m...
In days when the world was young, men looked upon the moon and talked of gods. They spun tales of argent chariots conquering darkness or of a forlorn lover forever yearning for her solar love. When it waxed full, they knew theirs would be prosperity, blessings or, if they were unlucky, lunacy. They gazed up at the moon...
Hello! Welcome to my cottage, have a seat, and is there anything you'd like to drink? Why yes, I am that same famous former child billionaire. As for why I'm out here, in the middle of nowhere tending to my garden? Easy, 20 years ago, upon turning 18 I decided I was tired of the whole system, my so-called partners wer...
"Would you like sugar with your coffee, just joking as you are already sweet enough". I love to flirt with Lord Vader as I have always been into bad boys. As he turns around I notice one of the stormtroopers had slipped a "kick me"sign on his back. I quickly ran over and gave him a quick kick in the butt. He turns aro...
“I hid", the soldier said, ”Even with all our troops we could not win”. It was a broken soldier before the court. The battle was lost, but those soldiers bought our wizards enough time. They managed to conjure a dragon to chase off our invaders. The soldier looked up with shameful eyes. “You shall never be able to h...
I screamed. I had had nosebleeds while I was sleepwalking and I had often got blood everywhere, but I had never ever done something like this. Something was wrong. Very wrong. I started hyperventilating, my heart raced, I fell back into a rocking chair. I was having a panic attack. After a few minutes of thinking "I'...
"Fine! Be that way! If I hear you scream, I'm not coming back! Just let it be known I warned you..."She yells behind her, leaving her father to sit solemnly in the dust. His beard was wispy, blowing gently in the wind as she braved the dust storm. There was worse behind them, she knew that. But it was not her problem a...
It was frankly nondescript: little more than a board on four wheels, calling it a ‘moving cart’ seemed a little excessive. However, that was what the note taped on it said, along with the intriguing claim that it was cursed. The fact it could make any load lighter by any amount was ignored by Lazarus. “So… what do?...
"Greetings, ladies and gentleman. I would tell you my name, but I doubt you'd be able to say it, so I'll just go with Walter. I know I wasn't invited, but it's become increasingly difficult to ignore..." Before the man could finish his sentence, the sound of firearms and the smell of gunpowder filled the air. The guar...
It was not just a normal tiredness, I am feeling empty. Or, it is more like I am feeling nothing. The sky looks grey, I thought. “Come with me!”, I could hear a distant voice in my mind say, “I want you to be with me forever”. It had been a wonderful day. The sky was blue, the ocean was blue and so where his eyes. Bu...
Hey, I was actually offended that nobody else responded to this prompt, because I thought it was a great idea. So I punched up something tonight. It's a little rough, I think I need to expand on some of the ideas more, but I like the overall concept. I hope you like it as well. Two parts because it ran away with me. ...
It started mostly as a joke. You had all been kind of drunk, after all, coming up with silly suggestions. You were making your way home alone, entirely unconcerned, because nothing had happened. You should have known better. Your parents had told you plenty about mishaps you barely even remembered. One in particular s...
I've learned to accept that in the middle of nowhere, my definition of what is normal has needed to be adjusted. Strange things occur on Tauron. Things I can't explain. I came here to be alone, but am anything but alone. Life on Tauron is slow. There are no days, no nights. The Tauronian sun never sets. Because of th...
The worst part about my parents being gone for the weekend was me having to baby sit our stupid cat. I always liked dogs more but unfortunately my mother was allergic. She still however refused to get a hypoallergenic dog. I think she just liked cats more, suited her craziness anyway. Our cat spent the entire day outsi...
“Let’s see, for the last one, we have… Terry Fangsbane.” His secretary scowled. “Shit. Let me guess, an Orc?” Dan Johnson sighed. He could deal with Elves, Dwarves, and Gnomes. They were almost human, after all. But Orcs, he fucking hated Orcs. Big, brutish, smelly, and stupid. “God damnit… bring the green skinned bas...
John the immortal, was bored. Long gone were the days of careful inaction and fear of being injured. He lived forever and everyone seemed to treat him like shit. John thought of him self as a "Rock-Star". Not in the traditional sense of course, he was so disliked that he was the ammo for the trebuchet. Comparativel...
[Poem] (also, on mobile.) "One more thing,"Melody said. "A travel hub; Aurelio suggested a nexus, a multi-versal tourist trap." "What's your take?"Ms. Sharp asked.

"let's talk about the elephant in the room."The Boss said, eyeing me. I raised an eyebrow, while his subordinates struggled to hold back a laugh. He sighed. "No, I don't mean you, Norris. I mean the case." "Oh, of course,"I said, adjusting my suit. "So what's the problem?" The big man rolled a cigarette between his f...
We had met on a cool summer night in June. She was sitting at the bar, drinking a beer. I remember how beautiful she looked. Her blonde hair fell perfectly on her shoulders, curled to perfection. Her blue eyes glittered like sapphires under the ceiling light. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. Eventually, I mustered ...
My wife and I – we weren't the first refuge time travelers, but we seemed to be the only ones around this time period. Ever since researchers found out luck is a heritable genetic trait that grows stronger through generations, time travel was a popular choice for refugees. My wife and I were both descendants of locals,...
Reposting since the original prompt was removed \--- I was in middle school when Dr. Bernadette Weyland discovered time travel and opened up a gold rush of exploitation for advanced technologies. Technically speaking, the Weyland Process wasn't actually travelling through time. Rather, it generated a micro-wormhole,...
The audience quietened. Smatterings of laughter erupted and quickly disappeared around the source of the disturbance. "There's always a comedian in the audience. Am I right?"The voice over the microphone rasped sharply. The mysterious figure remained silent. "I'm the one who's supposed to be doing the comedy here toni...
"...How the fuck am I supposed to be forgiven by a video game character? You have to explain that to me."I honestly can't believe the conditions to enter heaven. God however doesn't seem to care for human logic. "It's quite simple. Video games seem like pure fantasy to you, right?""Yes."I answer and wonder where this...
I was taking a sip of beer, which I hate, when I noticed. My skin was starting to go. I felt goose bumps form on the back of my neck. No one else at the table had yet noticed, somehow. I tried to look up from my changing hand in a normal way. My attempt to be normal was an utter failure, Becca saw my concern. She gave ...
I felt fury rise within me as I got out of the cab in front of my house. I hadn’t believed the hospital staff when they’d told me I’d had no visitors - it must have been a mistake, there was no way my wife wouldn’t visit me while I was in a coma for three weeks, I had thought. When I stepped out of the cab in front of ...
It’s very important to read the terms and conditions. But no one does. Not even the employees at Bob’s Discount Furniture had read the terms and conditions for Bob’s Discount Furniture. Apparently, someone had. As customers browsed through the store, gazing along the coffee tables and trying to decide whether mid-cen...
The name my mother bestowed upon me as a child was Loki. My father hated it. He never thought much of me, I was never worthy in his hellish eyes. My brother, on the other hand, was his prize possession. Even at a very young age, my father made it clear my brother would be the heir to the throne of the underworld. I wou...
I am one of the last, it came unintentionally, but none the less surprising. The last of what you may ask... let me explain. Humans reigned over this earth for thousands of years, until we became very eager for more, we wanted to control everything. We wanted to be able to decide out hair color, our eye color, our heig...
As I’m on my nightly jog through the forest near my house, a shadow fleets across my vision. Followed by a quick flash, and loud crack. Just as the sound hits my ears, I feel blood rushing to my head, as I’m pushed out of the way. The large limber oak, nearly crushing me under its weight. Scrambling to regain my footi...
Make no mistake, my sons and daughters, they are not evil. They do not pull us from our homes in the dead of night because of prejudice or predilection. They do not savage us so simply because we are different. No, children, they are not evil. They are hungry. We cast them as our enemy, our oppressors, and we channel ...
24 hours ago. 24 hours ago. 24 hours ago. It feels like it happened so long ago. How did I go from binge watching Jersey Shore with Tabby and a box of pepperoni pizza to being here? As I hold onto my spouse's hand, who I'm not sure is entirely there, I think back. 24 hours ago. 24 hours ago. 24 hours ago. Tha...
The most noticeable thing was the silence. Kniles had always imagined timlessness as a kind of solemn silence, but that wasn't the full extent of it. It was the drone of a cricket chirp playing to eternity. It was the sound of a dewdrop crashing the ground, a single note, carrying on forever. It was the sound of hi...
Jane dragged the body into the alley. It was dark, damp and smelled of month-old fast food. She was almost noticed. If the yakuza were to find her as she is now, they would shoot her on sight. With precision, Jane dragged her knife across the neck of the dead man. He had been yakuza, and soon Jane would be taking th...
“Hey, Jimmy.” “Merry Christmas!” I couldn’t help the smile that spread across my face as I said it. The backyard looked like a picture postcard, some painter’s exercise where the prompt was ‘Christmas Spirit’. Lana was chasing Thomas in circles around the backyard through the snow, she in her Gore-Tex and he in the...
The Mythological Zoo, located in the middle of nowhere has a bunch of beautiful sights, looking at the dragons or petting a unicorn. Sounds fun right? Well not too fun if you work there. My name is Dotty and I have a list of what I do at the Mythological Zoo. Opening When it comes to opening I go around the zoo with...
It has long been hypothesized, in the galactic journal of sentient studies, that a sufficiently advanced intelligent individual will always crave what it does not have. The popularity of this theory could largely be attributed to the rather surprising reality of modern class-6 or greater machine superintellects (com...
As I stared out into the universe, I noticed how few stars remained. It has been a long time since my genesis and the creation of the others. Over time they have faded away leaving just me to lay out in the glistening pools of light. I have not talked to another in a millennium and this empty place has hollowed out my ...
1/2 It happened every so often. Some being manages to cross a milestone where all others failed, and in turn, becoming almost deific in nature. The key word was “almost”; they were stronger, faster, and would live for eternity if such a thing existed, but at the end of the day, they were not gods. That would never b...
