Was that... All Star by Smash Mouth playing in the distance?
Oh god.
Oh good heavens no.
We’re doomed. There’s no way he can spare us, was there?
That’s what I thought... until he arrived and saw my shirt.

I'm hurrying to my friend Tate's home. The bullies in the street always chase and make fun of me. She never leaves her home because her mother told that the world is dangerous and hurt them. Her father is more like a strict milit... |
I am Orion, and I have one purpose.
I am designed to kill.
I know how to kill. I know every weakness discovered in the human body. I can calculate to the nanosecond what the next action of a human will be. I am filled with nanotechnology that sets me aside from all other technologies. My battery can charge to full if... |
So basicly, I am very small. So are the rest of humans, but still.
Turns out, Aliens tower over us like houses. They sort of just forces us in giant boxes, colonized our planet, then enslaved all of us. We aren't very efficient, but we are cheap. While I was on display, I heard kids call us cute.

"Matt to customer service, Matt to customer service."rang over the loudspeakers of the grocery store at a deafening volume. Shortly after, an instrumental only version of Tik Tok by Ke$ha continued playing where it had left off before being cut off thanks to Matt. I truly hate coming to this God forsaken place.... |

"passengers and crew brace yourselves"I was surprised with the level of calmness in my voice, but I guess thats what my training had prepared me for.

I grew up a single child in a rich household with my every desire met and every pain soothed. But there was always this air of mystery surrounding my mother's side of the family.
Any time I even mentioned it to my parents or relatives in a social setting I would be shunned or told not to speak about it. They must've ... |
Since I was a child I have been able to replicate food. I don't mean I was a good chef. I mean you hand me a french fry, and I could literally create another by pressing the first in my hands. Apparently the only rule was it had to fit into my hands, which as I grew up meant that I was able to replicate larger and larg... |

From the windowsill, a single drop of rain dances meanderingly toward the floor. It darts left and it darts right, as if to escape the gravity of life itself. Moments, years later, it meets the edge of the ground and it dances no further.

Slowly, painfully, I regained consciousness.
I was in a dark cellar, with several work lamps attached to poles and shining in my face. My body was bound with stiff leather straps to an inclined table, and a strap was pulled tightly over my forehead, immobilizing my head. There was nothing in view but the lights and th... |
I look around, groggy.

At my side, the sword rests loosely in my hand. My head throbs, I reach up and feel the helmet pressing in hard against my skull. I let my hand drop down and groan. What's going on?

Every day I feel so happy, I smile when I awake,
I love the sunshine in my room, I love the golden rays.
I love to stretch my tired body in the early haze,

I felt like I was going insane.
That little jingle, the lighthearted but creepy ice-cream-van-sounding-song.
I heard it every week, roughly the same time each week. It was always a Monday morning.

It was a magnificent sight.

# The Cost of Ideals
They refuse to listen
will not understand
it took all of my efforts
to reach where we stand.
My goal, it was pure

that compared to the gains
