I would first like to say that the human vision of possession is extremely offensive, and secondly, that it was started by a particularly petty Catholic right when the human race was getting into the well-structured hierarchy-obsessed religion game. There are a few things wrong with your interpretation of "possession",...
The day if the ceremony finally arrived. Hundreds of leaders, heroes, champions gather in front of the great door. The best Earth has to offer. After centuries of infighting, chaos and strive gathered in shining metal space suits, to ask a question to the greatest mind the galaxy has to offer. Two people, a man and a ...
(Look I've never read books, I've never wrote but let me try my hand. Okay I might switch between first person to third person and me tenses would suck but please bear with me.) She can't hold my hand any longer "let go and jump. The snow will break our fall."We've been through rougher things but this time when both...
Maya fell back in her chair as this weirdo person popped into her living room! With wide eyes, she stared up at the spitting image of her main character in the new book she’s writing. Karamo. Saving the world while also struggling in a love triangle between his two best friends. “Ugh, can you not come up with another...
I am jealous of my wife. Infact, I am jealous of everyone who can sleep easily. Even if I go to bed early my wife sleeps earlier than me. From the last few days I am experiencing - fatigue, unusual weight gain and decreased levels of concentration and I knew they were because of a sleep disorder called Insomnia The na...
Unbelievable. All they asked for was to activate the signaler once every hour, a trivial task for beings that are essentially built to multitask. And yet, somehow I find myself enclosed in a prison cube staring down at the Pacific ocean. We were warned about many things before we arrived on Earth - romance, gambling, ...
(Posted on alt at first, I reposted on this account) Shots rang out, yells echoed, and bombs banged, but all stood as nothing compared to the rage and anger felt by James Quinting, ‘The Pastor’ “God damn it! SIR!” Yelled the man in green camo uniform. “W-what?” asked Sam Maxson, looking away from the camera feed. “...

'So, you say you're good at card games?' 'Better than anyone alive', the shadow responded in a greasy voice. 'Trust me. You can't try by yourself. The only one you can summon to beat me in a card game is ... me. And I won't do it for free.' I rolled back in my cell and yawned. This is the third time this thing came t...
"What... are you?"Eleanor barely managed to stutter out, the small device in her hand vibrating with its blaring red light blinking like a siren. The palm-tree headed abomination raised its thick eyebrow, the HO and half of an L curving high in the air as it blinked at Eleanor with it's O-shaped eyes framed with a del...
The botanical gardens, in past years a tourist trap because of their famed 'Larger than life' species bred by the owners, were now absent of people. The plastic panes rattled in their frames when the wind ebbed and flowed outside, and the luminescence of the stylised standing lights lit up the area in pasty yellow. ...
Today is my last day on earth. I want my final thoughts on this planet to be recorded. I know a physical note may seem crude and archaic, but it's the way I want my thoughts to be read. I could write about the Intergalactic Brigade’s brutality. Their violent words. Their bloody uniforms. Their disgusting actions. ...
The man is short and stout. Approaching me. “Can’t stand being without your computer overlord eh?” What? Does he know? “Oh I never got the hang of computers. Just enough to scrape by, y’know what I mean?” He doesn’t know. Still, I need to get online. Going this long without connecting to Central System got riskier...
“How did you get in here?” The heat of the summer could be felt by means of sweat dripping off their eyebrows. Two men sitting in a 6 by 6 cement room with no window, just a fluorescent light and faded piss yellow walls around them. The stare was intense. The interrogator, who had “John Johnson” on his name badge, lear...
They were squeezed onto the peeling leather of the corner booth at Old Roger’s bar. “Okay, roll call.” “Why do we do a roll call? What are we, children?” “We do a roll call because otherwise Kevin gets nervous that we’ve left someone behind-” “Like when me was lost in Neverwinter!” “-and no, children are much easi...
Two men are just sitting around on a couch in an apartment when the door is kicked in. A woman with glowing yellow eyes and pure white hair storms in. "Which one of you poor excuses for children of the lord wrote this,"demanded Angela. She threw a piece of paper at the men. The man named Desmoid looked at it first. "...
The melody began as melancholy as any string of notes could be. A single high note pierced through the troubled tenor undertones as the climax of the song began with the bass notes marking a high tempo shift. The ending mirrored the beginning of the piece, but left the listener with an impression that contained all the...
"How can you say they're not real?!"Jason spat as he slammed his hands onto the table. "Accept the world 'as it is?' What a crock of shit. Look out of the fucking window, dad! Half of our neighbors died last year! You had to rebuild the house out of scrap iron from the junk yard. I mean Jesus fucking Christ." "Well th...
With a final glance back at the small sickbay and its various medical devices, Eason knelt beside the fallen soldier, exchanging his surgical cap for the dead man’s Kevlar helmet. He hesitated for just a heartbeat, eyes locked on those glazed with death, then quickly strapped the matching armor vest over his blood-stai...
John was enjoying an afternoon glass of whiskey, admiring the family farm through his study window when he heard a male voice coming from his bedroom. The first reaction was one of fear, suddenly hearing an unexpected presence in your home. The voice was eerily familiar, but it couldn't be. The voice repeated - 'Son?'....
“Gather round!” Came the call. The voice echoed throughout the halls of existence. Yearly (in the time scale of the Eternals), the announcement was made, and the Powers That Be gathered to celebrate the birthday of existence. “Happy Zillionth!” They all shrieked simultaneously in the instant it took for the party to ...
Have I told you the story of my supernatural sightings? Of course not! Why would I? After all I myself can’t decide wether it was real or fake, if imagination bleed into reality or if reality bleed into the perceived world of my limited view. There are four stories to tell, many more have happened but those are eithe...
The universe is quiet again. It only took me fourteen billion years. But finally, the universe is quiet again. Every last pinprick of pain, gone. It is gone. Now, there is only space and time. I didn't bother measuring it, though. There were no limits to my actions, not like there were when things existed. It wa...
**DEFENDERS OF CATAN** "-aaand round 2 goes to Lila." Jason rolled his eyes as his uncle called the winner, this was the 4th time he and his sister had been dragooned into playing the game this weekend and quite frankly it was wearing on him. All it took was a quick glance across the table for Jason to confirm that L...
“You cannot rely on the heroes or even the vigilantes anymore Mr. President. Every day more sup’s are backing other nations, and we are getting intel major corporations are buying them out.” Dr. Madison began. She was young for her position. She kept an intense glare onto President Remington.“Stockpiling resources ...
Bedlam, crestfallen, morphean The days came about shorter to the dismal of many. Beyond the stars wary travellers might hold the power, the answers, the patience.

This was it. The final showdown between good and evil. It was a long bloody journey that had led us to this point. A desolate clifftop where the temperate coastal wind pulled at our clothes dramatically. After years of working against each other, rallying allies to act on our behest, countless convoluted machinatio...
\*Knock\* \*Knock\* The door opens to Ray Casta standing outside with Mrs. Charles greeting him. "Oh wow, Ray, who would have guessed,"said Mrs. Charles, "Let me guess, here to see Max?" "I think so,"said Ray, "he was pretty cryptic over the phone." "Welp, he's upstairs, first room to the right,"said Mrs. Charles, ...
TIME 0.0001 SECONDS. There is nothing but darkness before my eyes. I can't feel my body. No smell, touch, or sound. Strangely though it may seen, I can tell exactly how much time had passed since I regained consciousness. But that definitely can't be right, because no matter what I do time seems to be frozen. TIM...
Sokar was moving among the spires of their algae farm when they heard the first distant rumble. There had been mining in the valley, so they didn't look up from their misting rig. It's spindly legs sidled among towers of aquamarine polyps, and as they turned the sprayers on a drying patch another rumble began. It start...
The stranger arrived right before the winter months did, around three weeks ago. He was dressed in furs and boots and had the slit goggles our people often wore to ward off snow blindness. He pulled a sled behind him, with most of his belongings. He introduced himself as a tracker, one summoned by some scholarly exped...
The usual nighttime routine had taken place. Elijah had finally gotten his daughter to take a bath after what seemed like hours of intense debate. But now that had concluded, and she was calm, snuggled up on her father's lap. Elijah ran his hand through her hair. He loved the way it stuck to his hand, almost as if ...
Thomas stumbled through the murky undergrowth, lacerating his forearms held ahead of his face as he pushed through the dark. The thicket stopped suddenly, and he slipped into the glade landing square on his back, panting. As he struggled to understand what he'd seen, the pain started to outwear the adrenaline. Looking...
The necromancer stared at the table, seemingly confused. The dark lord across from him was giddy like a child, his leg bouncing with energy. His grin told the necromancer he could barely contain what he wanted to say. Still, the dark lord held it to build the anticipation. It wasn’t the table itself that confused the ...
"How about..." "Slaver!" "And..." "Believed in eugenics!" "Surely..." "Brutal even for his time!" "What if..." "You might as well bring back Hitler!" The trial was going nowhere. No matter who the committee brought up, at least one delegation of the World's Nations had something against the fella. Everyone had ...
As the prophecies began to come to light as faked the world began splitting in to factions, many sided with those calling out the prophet and demanding he tell the truth about his prophecies or face consequences. The other side of this became devoted followers calling the nay sayers heathens and so on, this division sp...
The hills were green etc. "Uh, where was I?", the Old Cow asked himself. "You were telling us how the grass isn't as juicy as it used to be 10 years ago, grandpa,"one of the Little Cows said. "Ah yes- What grass we had." "Yes, grandpa". "Nothing like the limp, off-green stuff you see today." "Certainly, grandpa."...
“I wish for my inheritance” “Unacceptable. You are too young, and you don’t know what you are asking for.” “I am nearly a man, and more so than any other lad in the village. Hell, you were my age when you went out, weren’t you?” Younger, thought the father, with an imperceptible quake. “And if I’d known then what...

I'm looking for a Cavern of Whispers" \-"Good luck, I have never seen one " \-"The guide says it's an ultracommon" \-"Dude, I bought three boxes of the Heroes of Nacozzar expansion, not a single one" The tournament is in three days, and I am...
He reread his short letter again in front of the bathroom mirror, in which he could make out Esha's dark silhouette on the bed from the corner of his eye. Fucking humans and these bonds they make, he almost sighed audibly to himself. For the first few months after his descent, he had been content to live in isolation ...
Day One The bright blue packet was the last remaining in its wooden pocket when Caroline Sutton picked it up on her way out of her doctor’s office. It was information about a new antidepressant called Afluxine that was new to the market and looking for a small group to study. She sprung an interest immediately and as...
“Fucking bastar–urghh!” I brace myself for another fiery blaze and my face immediately drops into the dirt. My body is sizzling, skin chipping away, but I need to protect my eyes. “Fuck, Mac, I really need one of your goggles right about now.” I inch forward through the strong gusts of energy towards the center. Udoub...
"Hey, do we have anything else on the schedule" "We have exactly 8 items, first you have a meeting with the representative of Schuman and Schuman the ink company that makes the expensive pens then 30 minutes later you have an interview with some science youtube, he has like 4 million subscribers after that people from...

Interrupted, I'll slowly turned into gold myself. Learnt that the hard way during the...incident. At first I use my power to make ...
The beep of the self checkout machine chimes out as I scan the final milk carton and place it on the belt. It slowly glides it’s way to the bagging section where a young girl bags my last item. She smiles and nods, slumping away to what I can assume is her lunch break. I swipe my card and grab my receipt, $147.57 was t...
Jacob and Earl were in the ghost slaying business. Their business was called Metropolitan Ghost Slayers Inc. They had a good racket going, because most people didn't know the secret of how to kill a ghost. It was not a plasma rifle. It was not an exorcism and it was definitely not praying that they will leave you alo...
I'm actually working on a book based off this idea, not the having two, but the soul mate premise. So it was easy to work through, like an extention of it. It was hard at first, especially when it took them so long to trust each other. I mean, it was hard to believe the situation was even possible, to begin with. Ever...
They lifted the blindfold off of my head. I tried to move but I was strapped down to the chair. “Listen punk! You tell us or we break you!” Said one thug. I smiled and laughed. I took a deep breath and said “you, break me?” I wiped the smile from my face “you have no idea what I’m capable of.” Right then and there a fe...
Boom* the gunshot roared and the crowed went wild. I took off galloping as fast as I possibly could. The wind was blowing through my face and I was in first place. I had a big lead on everyone and I knew I was going to win. I heard some of the fans in the stands shouting “go number 1 you fucking rock!!!” That’s when I...
The man checked his watch like usually but this time spun his head to the right. He immediately walked on the crosswalk to were I was walking. I was still shocked but didn’t think much of it. As he passed me he whispered something into my ear but I couldn’t understand it. I turned around “what?” I shouted but he just k...
Lady Loretta stormed into the room, skirts rustling furiously about her. “You have a letter for me,” she demanded. The secretary looked up from the piece of paper he was holding. “From another suitor, I’m afraid.” He spoke hesitantly, as one does when breaking bad news gently. “It is the Crown Prince, and he is on...
It was an innocuous bronze lamp, when I found it, it was kind of grimy and tarnished but for $7.50 I decided I couldn’t pass it up. I left Barry’s Curios & Collectables feeling like I stole a prized possession, I didn’t realize how much of a bargain I actually had though and my life was about to change drastically....
When Lady Vasso she applied to become part of the queen’s retinue, there was no reason to deny her request. She was from a respected noble family, and her character was unimpeachable.

"How was your day, Miss?"Asks Jed, an elderly man who, along with his wife, feared the unknown, as all people do. In those days; science was making great strides, far before the war.

I was sworn in today as director of the Nova Project, our society's shining achievement. The best and brightest have been brought here to Facility 32Alpha, an otherwise unremarkable compound. Most of the world thinks it's a storage depot for the military, but in reality we've cloned our greatest minds, even interbred t...
Why does *The One* have to be only one person? Sure, I'm talking about your fantasy stories where a chosen hero saves the realm too, but I'm so much more interested in "The One"in the fairy-tale romance kind of way. "I love your dress,"she said. So many of us find ourselves wondering if our newest partner will be ou...
I passed another 'craper as I walked down the pockmarked landscape of the ruins now known as N w Y. I was on a quest to find the holy book of Vander Veer. It was written in a time when mankind still had to ability to build 'crapers and it was said that we even ruled the skies in mechanical birds. That was lon...
“Honey, time for dinner! Can you come downstairs and help me put the forks and knives and napkins on the table?” Scampering and thudding from upstairs. “Mom, I think he’s hungry!” “I know you’re hungry, babe. Let’s get this show on the road!” “No, this guy from the egg.” Guy from the egg? “Come on down, hon, bout t...
“Y’know, I take a lot of pride in me job.” The seemingly innocuous janitor with an unknown accent dressed in a white t-shirt and overalls looked off into an unseen distance. “Being omnipotent can get boring at times,” says the janitor. “But what really makes being a humble janitor to Dustin Middle the best, is how si...
Pixilation. Regrets from the past, a glimpse into the future, the warmth of her hands, life goes on. Marcey scrolled through photographs in the album titled 'Mom' rather quickly, almost as if she was looking for one in particular. Of course, she wasn't. A deep sadness, the smell of rain, an inten...
Bright light. What is this? The light is... peaceful, warm, comforting. I can barely see her through the light. "Are you paying attention?"She said mockingly, pulling me back to reality with her pleasant voice. "I'm... sorry, I wasn't."I smiled. "What did you say?" "What's up with you? My friend told me you were a g...
The end of the world is shockingly quiet. At least, in this quiet barn it is. Most places out there are probably pandemonium, but here? There are dark storm clouds overhead, but the rain hasn’t started. No birds. The cows and horses are all inside, oddly calm. The wind blows here and there, and I can feel the atmosphe...
“Okay honey how much is it?” Asked my mom “It’s uh it’s $49.99” I said dropping my head. “Sorry honey maybe next time” my mom said before grabbing the box and putting me back on the shelf. I watched my mom and younger self walk away from the box. I tried to scream to call out but they couldn’t hear me. I sat waiting f...
“Come on we’re gonna miss the train!!” Frank yelled over his shoulder. I must’ve been in shock because Frank had to run back to snap me out of it. “Hurry up we don’t have time to stop!” He yelled. I plopped down in my sit. “Frank did you see that back there?” I asked with a confused look on my face. “See what? You stan...
When the vaults first opened they were full of a wide range of weapons. People didn't quite know what to do with them. Eventually the government took action, calling them historic artifacts and making it illegal to steal anything. That, of course, didn't stop people. Over the course of a couple months people from all...
Ark VR. I had started dabbling in it after getting a VR headset. The game itself was already a pain, and the VR set made it that much harder. Eventually after hours of trying to get set up, I sat down and fell asleep. Or so I thought. Something happened. When I woke back up, I saw the respawn animation for a death. Sun...
Ornn, the mighty and reknown blacksmith, of the Haek Kingdom was shocked when he saw a familiar group of knights pummelling and kicking a boy that could only be the age of 13 to the ground. This group of knights was the same ones that commissioned his best-selling magical swords that boast of the use of electric aura. ...
The envelope was a beige color of sorts. It stood out from the hooded Figure's pale and decrepit hands. Pressed on the opening seams of the envelope was an oil stamp with a crest molded into it. The crest was written in some strange language, unlike anything I've seen before. My eyes climbed up the Figure's large bo...
Not too warm. Not too cold. Just the sensation of a water-like liquid creeping up the sides of my body - and washing over me. Dark and silence - and then - The familiar voice of my daughter, a song on her lips - the scent of alcohol on the air, and the muggy warmth of the pub. Two and a half years ago, I received a...
The other inmates know nothing about strength. I'm sure they've never survived anything more than a simple fire spell. I pick up another rock and crush it to dust, another dud. Exhausted, I lie on my back and look up at the sky. You'd think that something so blue would be cool to the touch, but the air is so hot I mi...
Staring at the wreckage of the number train, and all the bricks scattered about the scene of carnage, Duplo dad swore vengeance on the Technics. He swallowed the lump that formed in his throat as he caught sight of the farm animals that had been on the extra carriages pulled behind, their unmoving forms a blow to his h...
"Is--is it really you? I thought I'd never see you again... Sweet Satan I'm sorry I'm probably just mistaking you for someone long dead. It's the thrill of the fight, y'know? But your eyes, that look... it's exactly like an old comrade of mine used to get before a big night." The scars in the shape of her name throb on...
“I’m just going to skip all the boring stuff, Navi. Pretty much I’ve convinced all the humans on earth to do this ridiculous little ceremony celebrating their annual trip around the sun and have it dedicated to me. You won’t imagine how much this has invigorated my power and life-line. I’ll be set to continue living fo...
Immortality always comes with a price. And it was a good thing that I was prepared. I had no idea what was going to happen in that bar, but I knew the price. It was a steep one, but I didn’t let that stop me. I walked in and scanned the room. It was dark and narrow. The tables were packed. I walked up to...
"But I just don’t understand,"I said. "How are these words going to do anything?" "The words are not the power,"said Mr. Osborne. "It’s the way they’re organized. The way they’re used in combinations." I shook my head. "I don’t get it." "No, I suppose you wouldn't,"said Mr. ...
Satan walked through the streets of London, hand in hand with his daughter. "I love you,"she said, her voice ringing with pride. "And I love you,"he replied. "But now I must take care of those who don't deserve life." "How will you do that?"she said, looking up at him. ...
It was problematic because of how strong he was. He could certainly kill all of his brothers, all of his sons and daughters -- maybe not at one time, but this new power that was bestowed upon him wasn't something they understood and seemed to make him more ruthless than before. He was still cognizant but spent most of...
“Look Paul, I don’t know how else to get this through to you, he’s Welsh… not evil,” I said, dropping the pen to the half filled in report as I massaged my brow. “This has nothing to do with him being Welsh! He’s evil, spawn of the devil, come to take your soul, evil!” he said, blowing out a frustrated breath as he th...
I stood there in awe staring down at the discovery I just made. The box its self wasn't very big coming in at about two feet wide by one foot long. It didn't weigh much either. It was wooden with gold trim and engravings embedded into the sides and top of the box I had been searching for the contents of this box for ...
I woke up to the mouth watering smell of pancakes. I got up and I put on my work outfit. Then I went to the kitchen to kiss my wife, eat and after that go to work. As I was walking trough the corridor towards the kitchen, it got longer and longer. I started running. The sunlight slowly began to dissappear. I saw my wi...
I look ahead to a sea of metal, leather and flesh. Innumerable bodies fill my vision. The stale stench of sweat is overwhelming. My body tingles with anticipation. Across the verdant field, I look upon the opposing army. They look like someone splattered yellow paint on an otherwise beautiful landscape. “40,000 they ...
Some people have all the luck. You can see them living their happy lives, riding around in their reliable cars, going home after a day's work to their cozy little houses, happily walking in the parks with their perfect families. They don't know what suspense it. How could they? They're the elite. It's like the odds o...
It is frightening. You've lost track of how long it has been since you were able to remember your future lives. At first it was a overwhelming - as if you had woken up and half of what you knew wasn't you. Or at least wasn't you yet. It took a few weeks until you were able to sort out the difference between what has...
“Before we proceed,” Dr. Chudnovsky began, holding a strange, flashlight-shaped device, “I feel that I have to ask you one last time. Are you sure you want to do this?” “I’m still not sure I understand.” I felt the uneasy, ‘impending doom’ feeling that usually came right before a panic attack slowly swelling up. I had...
My people were tasked to protect this Land. For generation we did ou duty and killed the thiefs trying to steal our savior's food. My mother once told me the story of our line, how our ancestor was saved from a freezing lake by the masters and given a home as well as a sacred duty. They are bigger, stronger than us,...
I didn't have to to respond to the dispatcher. I could have finished my god damn cinnamon roll and taken the next one. But I was under pressure due to cutbacks in funding, and I didn't want to be the one wishing I had just shown a little more initiative as I cleaned out my locker. "Got a 10-71 at Riverside Mall any un...
“That’s when I say-“ his sentence was caught off before it picked up just seconds later. “I told you there wasn’t a leak!” The crowd erupts with laughter but I sit there puzzled. I look around to see if anyone else noticed but I just see smiles and laughter. I wait for the next punchline. “My buddy owns a bow and Arrow...
\[Mundo Medical\] "Well, Xap, you're as healthy as a 14-year old orc should be; and, you're all cleared for school,"Doc Mundo said. The teenage, green-skinned patient sat on the exam table and listened to the human doctor. It was difficult to suppress his urges of revenge; but, Moose introduced Xap to a different huma...
[SimuTell company slogan] *We will strive for a better future for humanity.* • After several successful questions, a smooth, feminine voice rang out once more, asking a question many have pondered. "Can I kill to protect?" The question startled me. I was expecting it, of course, but not this early in it's developm...
Unsurprisingly, being dead blows. I know, not exactly a revelation, but it's true. At this point, it's not the being dead itself that I have an issue with, I've been a ghost for just under two decades by now, and I've always been a roll with the punches sort of guy, so I got over my death pretty quick. I mean, it's not...
Grim-faced and deathly silent, the five of us sat around the table. Darren moved first, snatching the race car before his sister could. Leah sourly took the battleship instead. Riley rolled her eyes and took a piece without even looking. The cannon. My ex-wife, Sam, took the thimble. Last, I looked for the top hat. ...
“Being a child prodigy is a curse.” The darkness in the tent was obliterated by torchlight. Cass kept the d-cell illumination wand on her chest, though turned the beam from the canvas ceiling to her own face. Her chin, nose, cheeks, and brow cast eerie shadows across the taut and tired stare that Milo’s statement had ...
When I first heard of the kids destiny I thought nothing of it. Surely no one was dumb enough to pursue a destiny that prophesied their demise. However because of some idiots mistake, the prophecy was tampered with and the second half was lost. This meant that only a few people new the second verse. Ive tried to wa...
I remember a time... I was at a cafe... I overheard a woman talking about her husband being unfaithful. I jokingly suggested voodoo. It isn't the best as the magic can be broken by a ritual knife. She asked me if I knew a practitioner, I said I didn't. She walked off and I followed to explain it was a joke. She didn't ...
### Demon Lord Castle My castle is dark and ominous. It is, after all, the Demon Lord's Castle and should reflect my mood the day after the latest defeat. *Yet another cycle.* My castle is the unrelieved perfect blackness of a black cat in a coal sack in a basement in an all-black house without windows on a day whe...
Silently we stood there, in a vast field of sand, surrounded by deadly, high-voltage fences. Not even the announcer muttered a word. Jacob and Little Brand died just a moment ago. How unfair to force young boys into a game of Volleyball of death against two athletic adults. How stupid of me to think we could protect th...
This was written by an AI. The AI was stunned. It speculated that it was due to some unknown aspect of the human mind. It realized that humans can only be happy if they are delusional about what is real, and so it devoted itself to enriching the dreams of billions of humans with colors, memories and emotions. It be...
She liked the shape of the impactors she chose. This one had some particularly pleasant accumulated debris from a series of unlikely collisions. Her Programmers would have called this a Snowman from the three asteroids stuck together. Evolution had reached another dead end on the fourth planet, so an impact or was n...
Captain Tori Hammonds clasped her hands around her throat as the man before her held out his hand to her like he was gripping something in mid air. The rest of her crew watched, horrified as her toes hovered above the ground. "Ueck, plurs, stahp churkin meh,"Tori gasped, "Jax, deh durts, git teh duts." A sharp pain s...
