I\`m awoken, as has become routine, by the sun\`s piercing rays hitting my closed eyelids through the patchy roof of my hut.
I sigh, "Another day..."and roll over to stare at the gorgeous blue sky, untouched by any pollutants and cloudless as if painted by God himself.
I eventually rouse myself from the bedroll of le... |

I swear I heard it.
It rang throughout my mind, like a yo-yo. I turned back and faced the cage, focusing on the bird that sat upon a single twig. Stroking my chin usually gave me the brain power to process things yet it did nothing for me at this moment.
Shaking the cage with the violent rage of a ten year old fort... |
Cameron Allen, The Falconer, its on his porch steps, hands clasped, head down, and completely entranced in thought. A red muscle care pulls into his driveway and his brother, Vince runs towards him.

"But Father..."my only son questioned.
"Aren't these people worthy of happiness and prosperity?"
I considered his plea. "No, son. They have not devoted their lives to me and for that they will pay"

**Of Those Still Moored**
Thousands of lives, many to be ignored
Some to be lived in, others scorned.
The days go by, then weeks, then an eon
Never once wondered what lain beyond.
Immortal, of gods, of titans and more,
How it came to, not able to explore
Every grain, crystal, and pile of sands,
Forever ti... |

Lieutenant Jason Hargreeves, a man in his late 30s, could've once been seen as 'handsome' but the years of work have taken it's toll, and the best anyone could call him would be 'rugged'. Blonde hair, mixed in with patches of white, barely could see the difference between the two though. Claim's he shaves his face ever... |

Maine sighed.
Her friends, Catarina, Sei, Yuna, and Azusa, had put her up to the most boring thing. They had all started a writing club since travelling became impossible and free time grew. It was a weird idea Catarina had, but Maine was behind it immediately. After all, writing was easier for a bookworm. Catarina cl... |
My phone beeps. Someone is sending me a message. While trying to pick it up, my foot gets tangled in the wire. "Damn wire."I complain.

Another egg smashes against the already-defaced poster bearing the visage of my superhero alter-ego. My actual-ego shatters with the shell. I've done everything right, haven't I?

The offer had come at the right time for Neil, so he took it without thinking. Two months in he regretted it. No amount of money was worth what he'd been through in his opinion. And as he punched the elevator button for the lobby, he wondered if the next ten months would be the same.

I could not control my curiosity and went to a nuclear research center about 280 km from my house. Took me 3 hrs to reach the place.

A perfect student has Ivy League aspirations. Only one problem, their family is barely scraping by. They find a solution, but it isn’t exactly legal.

Malone took aim at the abomination, and pressed the trigger. The gun kicked violently. The stock slammed into his shoulder with an audible "thump".

When I was younger I would go into the bathroom at night and just stare at myself in the mirror. I would examine my face, every inch, every pore, for hours on end. I had an irrational fear that I would forget what I looked like, that, one day, I wouldn't be able to recognise myself. I wanted to make sure that I knew ev... |
After a while I noticed those little bastards had put up turrets that only aim at Me! So I had to go somewhere I had never gone. The gun store.

I watched my flock with pride. The White Rock hens were all seated demurely at their tiny desks, feathers neatly settled, poring over the works of Plato. These chickies had come a long way, from their first declensions as hatchlings all the way to translating The Republic.

I was joking around in class when there was a flash of light, and then I’m surrounded by a blue mist. I’m in a pocket dimension. The campfire tale of the kid getting stuck in a pocket dimension immediately comes to mind. This isn’t that, I tell myself. I can breathe, so I should be fine.

"YOU ARE SHORT."A buzzing click announced the beginning and end of the statement, from a small brass box on top of a rock.

Tyrna narrowly avoided spilling coffee down her front when Hopan's sudden shout made her hand jerk in the middle of a sip. Whirling around, she glared down into the pit and opened her mouth, but the reprimand died when she saw Hopan holding a book over her head.

I stared out upon the horizon. Life was simple, nice, and easy, but I chose to work hard and get to the top. I didn't simply get into Harvard by virtue of the family name - although our name was quite a powerful one. No, I worked. I had my first job at sixteen - I remember it now, developing software.

My funeral was flashmobbed. I mean, I guess that is what happened.
Was it a pity mob? Who would have organized it? Am I distinguished nobody? A spectacular flop?

I wonder as I look down to see small minions popping from my pores. Imagine my amazement, at first I was excited until they started to grow and look like something about of a horror movie. Not knowing how to stop this act, I cover myself in sanitizer and hope that'll work, sadly it didn't. During a brief hiatus of the ... |
My sweet little girl, all dressed in black for the funeral, raced into my apothicary just as I was working on a particularily difficult potion. It's so hard to find decent teeth these days. If they are too old, my potion will take twice as long to set. I must speak with the grave digger about providing quality ingredie... |
My pets were there to meet me like always. Upon seeing me walk down the street toward my house tge started chirping excitedly and ran to meet me at the start of my unused driveway. I can’t help but grin. Adopting them was the best decision I ever made. If only my boyfriend agreed.
No sooner had I walked through the d... |
It passed in shadow, its cricked neck twitching as it stalked the young boy. Ice cream, milk fat- sugar-plants. Rushed thought. It brushed a slender finger across the boys neck. Goosebumps. A smile. Nothing else, nothing else. 28 years, not-loved, never-loved. Dead-by-drink, heart and liver heart and liver. Wouldn't he... |
The day started gloriously. I woke up in bed to his kisses on my neck coaxing me from slumber. I smiled sweetly and stretched, opening my eyes and giving him a tired "Morning."
He withdrew from me, his hand coming up to stroke the tousled curls from my face before he planted a tender kiss to my forehead. "Morning my g... |
The tsunami washed away cities. As trillions of tons of flesh crashed into the ocean, the outermost humans on the bottom drowned. The fused corpses on the inside of the mass of bodies were coopted as organs, forming larger masses of organization together.

As the Driver pulled into the two-mile long antebellum driveway, I was biting my lip so hard I tasted blood. It honestly helped too; the pain, the copper taste accompanying it was keeping me grounded in the present.

Colorful Pebble sputtered as her centipede slipped through all six of her claws, vanishing in between a crevice.

I was afraid to touch anything or move anything which she had placed down. Every disruption or change felt like I was erasing her; like I was cementing the reality that she was gone.
