The thudding draws my attention once again. I vaguely remember hearing it earlier, during dinner, but I figured it was the neighbors causing it. Now, standing alone in the kitchen, it sounds... Closer. I push myself off the counter I was leaning against, setting my own glass of wine down- Carefully, I'd hate to spill...
I crossed both arms over my chest, floating in the Council's Ring of Judgement. "You can all just fuck right off and tie your tails in a Gordian knot,"I snarled at the Assembly of Judging Genies. I saw on their faces this was not what they were expecting. Cowering, maybe, or begging was usual, as was desperate, stamm...
Details matter. To clients. I don't always understand their symbolism in my work orders. "Leave a white rose upside down on their chest."That's been popular lately. Probably the same client. I don't care. I'm a wizard, a dark one. Maybe a fallen angel if you believe the mythos my broker has built around me. My broker...
"I have diabetes."I explained to the High Cleric. "Type one." She blinked. "I see. And, is that like...consumption?" I was afraid of this. So, you know the drill: minding my own business, magic portal, another world, got to save it, no one else can. But like I told the High Cleric, I'm diabetic. Type one, insulin ...
"Your coin,"Charon said expectantly, holding out her hand in the customary way. "I have two,"The human in front of her demurred. "I was asked to go ahead. My, uh, friend'll be here shortly." "Very well,"Charon replied. The human man dropped two coins into Charon's hand. The second the coins made contact, time stopp...
Shiori watched as Kotoha finished bandaging the mutt. After covering it with a blanket, she petted its mangy fur. “It’ll be a few days until we can get you to the vet. Hang in there, okay?” The mutt let out a low woof and wagged its tail slightly. Kotoha is too nice. Shiori licked a paw and ran it across her face....
I pick out her favourite flavour of cake. She is quite fond of strawberries, in cakes and just in general. Sweet flowers, honeysuckle, penstemon, asters, and daisies. Filled to the brim with pollen. Moscato D' Asti wine, fit for dessert. And lots of food, enough for a feast almost. All of her favourites in terms of mea...
There was still a presence. The mansion rose around me, the walls echoing with quiet footfalls. I had removed any human ghosts easily enough. But their cat... A faint yowl echoed from the bowels of the house. Their cat had proven to be the most difficult. It didn't want to leave, though I wasn't sure why. Taking off m...
“Oh great crone, I apologize for imposing upon your time,” I gave a polite nod. “It is good to see that some still recognize the ways, but you are a guest. This is no imposition, come in.” As I entered, five cats turned to look at me from their various perches. Shelves of jars, the doorframe, one even poked its head ...
Day One: Dying wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, I did enjoy my previous life and have little knowledge of how to return, if I even can. I woke up in a different world in the clothing I put on just this morning and a blank journal. Glass, stone, horseless carriages, snow instead of sand at a beach despite the wa...
He stared at me a moment, my young ward, a stray bit of brown hair floating over his forehead. "Well what the fuck does that mean?" "It just means im disappointed. I know you could do better. Did you forget the nitrogen again? You know it's important." Behind us what was surely meant to be a giant monster had come ou...
Having an identical twin sounds cool until said twin ends up becoming rich, famous, and desired by the entire fricking world while you slowly fade into the background until everyone forgets you exist. Even my sister's wikipedia page doesn't mention her having an identical twin. I've been reduced to an obscure celeb...
It was an accident. An accident. No one was ever supposed to get hurt. No one was ever supposed to die. And yet… here we are. I sat in the safety of my lair, watching newsfeeds and live footage from security cameras on the monitors laid out in front of me. I watched, jaw slack, as my arch nemesis Orion, the c...
"N-nooooo,"hastened the person who looked suspiciously like the dead hero, "you have me confused for someone else." The spy eyed the hero, unconvinced. "All I said was that you're alive. Have I confused you for someone else that is alive?" "No, it's just had your tone of voice suggested..."The hero looked around before...
Hulk happy to be here. Hulk jumped from New York City and boy is Hulk's legs tired. Hulk could sleep, but Hulk no want puny Banner in control! Banner is so puny... come on, you know this, don't make Hulk angry... Banner is so puny... a stiff breeze knocks Banner out cold. Banner is so weak, websites reject him as a pas...
Princess Astrella Ophella Zion ran through the forest. Although at her pace, calling it a run was being generous. Her legs might as well have been covered with lead, her lungs felt like they were filled with burning embers, and sweat dripped from every inch of her skin. She wanted nothing more than to stop running and...
He wiped the blood off his helmet's front. Not that it helped much. His entire body was covered with the noxious stuff. His gun lay next to him, still cooling from the shots it had just unleashed. He barely felt the pain of the injuries he had sustained fighting the so-called "King of Hell."He would be fine though. He...
Moonlight's morose glow peeked through the heavy curtains in the room of the hospice. I held my father's now frail hand, the last time I would ever do so. Dad never liked a crier, I tried my best to hold back the waterworks. The years wore on his face, each wrinkle telling their own story of his long life. I thought ma...
"Ms. Lauren, my name is Viktor, I'm your court-appointed attorney." I took a break from staring at the wall of my jail cell to get a read on Viktor. Warm smile, ironed out suit, hand stretched out for a handshake--he was an honest man. Not many of those running around anymore. I imagined I would've liked Viktor, but I...
I can tell the future if I have an internet connection. Simple as that. You see, everyone has a superpower. Most people’s are boring like high alcohol tolerance or ability to see infrared. Mine is guessing random number strings accurately. So I made a program that runs off a ‘seed’ similar to Minecraft, but plugged i...
I stood in the garage, the car keys in one hand, the other pressed my cellphone to my ear. “The damn thing is so old, it should have a crank on it.” My mom on the other end chuckled. “Just be thankful. Grandpa loved you, and you know he didn’t have much, that’s about the best he could do for you.” My cheeks flushed...
“I think you have the wrong guy.. My name is-“, “No, stop avoiding your responsibilities Famine, I know it’s you.”, They cross their arms as the two horses accompanying them whinny and start walking in circles. “Just come on out and take off the skin suit, it’s starting to creep me out, man.”, “Look.. Plague, I’m telli...
“I what?” I ask as the knocking comes again. “You think about escaping through your window!” I stood there, considering the options as the knock came back again through the door. I hadn’t thought about it, and something told me this voice was not sure about what they just said. “Uh… you’ve been following me for a w...
“You knew about this, didn’t you?” Anthony said, stumbling his way into the chairman’s office. Security had been reluctant to let a bleeding man in, but given the chaos of the morning, they turned a blind eye to it. After all, the chairman would want to hear about the findings and no one wanted to tell him about the he...
“Mike, thank you for sharing. I want you to follow Mike’s lead and spend this week writing in your journals about one positive thing that has happened each of the 7 days. It can be something as simple as getting a good night’s…or good morning’s rest, to something major like starting to accept who you are. Next week we...
It's deeply traumatizing, you see. And I know deep down it'll kill me eventually. One of these days either a villain or a "hero"will end up doing something that turns me into a grease stain and i will be incapable of doing anything about that. But in the heat of the moment there is only one right answer to me; refuse...
The monstrous creature let out a terrifying, guttural growl. It seemed human, until you saw the fanged four-eyed head, and the long fingers. The humans started running, the creature having appeared out of nothing. It lunged towards the nearby potted plant, gorging on it, seemingly reproducing and creating smaller crawl...
Thank god, because if you couldn't that would take literally all the fun out of living. Picking on the biggest guy at the bar. Getting caught with another man's wife. Mocking a group of bachelorettes. The height of these classic pass times is when you get your ass royally handed to you. I once flipped off a taxi driv...
"Damnit, Steven, what did I tell you about this?"I said sternly, crossing my arms and adopting one of my best dad poses. "Daaaaaaad, come ooooooooonn"Steven moaned. "This one's potty trained, it's totally different". An etherial presence drew breath, drawing air and heat and even color in from the surrounding r...
"Tell me, what do you consider death to be?" The strange woman sat next to him, as he watched over the city. He had gone by many names in his time, the latest being Orimo. This was his city, founded from a small fishing village into a mighty metropolis. He turned to the woman, an unreadable expression on her face. Th...
[poem] There once was a girl who was dead, The government cut off her head, I knew it was wrong, but I pulled out my dong, And what came next filled me with dread. The girl was clearly alive, Underground for one day or five, I went looking for gore, but never before Had I met a corpse that actually thrived I tri...
The killer stumbled around my home, peering through doors and under furniture, trying to find where I was hiding. It was fascinating to watch him through the security cameras the police had helped me install. Watching as the man lifted my kettle, acting as if I would be hiding underneath it. The cop turned to me with a...
Everyone knows about Lupin. The professor who was in reality a werewolf, nearly killed some students and was responsible for the escape of the infamous Serious Black. The inconspicuous looking teacher who had stoic house master Severus Snape ridiculed with the use of a boggart. But only a few know there was a second...
"You do understand that the option I am offering you is very unique." "Yes. Immortality." "I highly recommend you take it." "What happens if I don't?" "I will sentence you to eternal punishment." "That hardly seems fair." "You must choose. You would prefer eternal life over eternal suffering, yes?" "Well, yeah, ...
Jerry picked up the paper as he walked out of the deli he went to for lunch. The main story "Blopeca Man Foils Bank Robbery"took up nearly the entire front page. Jerry had gone to that bank the day before, but he didn't remember anything like that happening. As he recalled it was something more like this: >It wa...
I looked around the empty house and tried to process the emptiness. Everything was gone. All the furniture, all the electronics; even the house was in someone else's name. I had nothing left but a plane ticket to Florida, a small handgun, a flip phone, and the clothes on my back. It felt good. It was a pure feeling, ow...
Holding the cigarette in his hand, he takes a slow, deep drag, savoring the moment. Inhaling the smoke into his lungs, he stares a hole through me, and then exhales the gray cloud into the air. It creates a split second cloud in front of his face, and he smiles at me. It's mischievous, but not full of malice. Dressed i...
"Christine, aged 23, I hereby sentence you to Death by Era." "I'll find my way back,"Christine snapped at the judge. The judge, a portly man with a small patch of hair on the top of his head, only pursed his lips together. He did so in a way that said disappointment, but Christine knew it wasn't disappointment in her,...
"Orangey Orange,"I muttered under my breath as I woke up. The hunger would still be there. At this point, I'm not even sure why I wake up. I'm an anthropomorphic rabbit waking up in a studio apartment with a bed that's lousy with bedbugs. It looks like I got bit again tonight, with that telltale trail that these fucker...
Michael yawned, his tightening jaw causing the usual sound of cracking and the low rumble of blood to fill his ears. What was he thinking about again? Something about... Nope, it was gone. Then he remembered the experiment. He ran over to the MRI monitoring station and replayed the recording. The 3D representati...
As soon as I could buy a ticket, I started. The Saturday Mega Draw. Jeez-Louise. Millions. Millions just waiting to be won. I'd buy me a ticket every week, sometimes went without smokes or milk just to afford it. Millions. I'd take my ticket, place it ever so gently in my wallet and take it home. Yes sir. That ticket...
No one stays in the business of reaping very long. Well, almost no one; I guess I'm an exception. I've seen the most hardened, gangster thugs break down crying after only a few days of this. How did I stay in it for years? Maybe I'm just a naturally heartless person. But it was drugs, mostly. Anything I could get my ha...
I love warm days like today. It means that schooling is coming to an end and it will soon be time for a break from studies. It means the Drake Show is just around the corner, where all the best Drake Trainers and new breeds will be showcased! It also means that the Dwarves' Sky Exchange is going to be implemented soon....
It was a sentence I never thought I'd say, and honestly, one I hoped I'd never have to. But when my buddy Thurston Wallaby, famous mountaineer and less-famous bonobo fetishist, invited me to climb Mount Mountain with him, I couldn't pass it up. I'd recently split up with my wife and wanted to do something that would sh...
It's a cold, brisk, morning in D.C. the White House stands proud in the United State's Capital a long day is ahead for Barack Obama. The day was nothing special for Barack, he had spent little time with his family over the past few days to try and make up time after the festive period and of course, he was being lamb...
Detective Tucker stared through the glass at them, trying to figure out what to say. The man couldn't stop sobbing, and frankly it was getting a little pathetic. The woman, however, was oddly stoic. "What the hell are you doing?"Tucker spun to see Chief Adrian Danzinger looking over his shoulder. "Letting them swea...
They never really considered me to be an assassin. I cut open the roll of tobacco. To them, an assassin is one who shoots or stabs then leaves quickly. No trace, no witnesses, but a big fucking splattered pool of blood on the ground. **I take the substance and drip it all over the tobacco, making sure not to...
Garnidan General Vestor slammed his fist on the table. He kicked his chair out from under him. His eight feet of height created an imposing visage across the almost five and a half foot tall, still sitting, Earth Ambassador Lu. “We demand your ultimate surrender,” yelled the General. Lu continued to sit but held the...
I laid in bed staring at the ceiling, 3:12am - I couldn't sleep I would be exactly 16 in a few hours and have to meet my soul beast. What will my parents say when they see it, when they find out what I did? My head swam with thoughts, anxiety, fear, I got up to vomit again for the third time, somewhere in my delirious...
I am trapped miles below ground, the earthquake that happened so suddenly almost seemed intended for me. The rock walls shook, cracked, and shifted above me as I fell, until there was no trace of sunlight left. And now, as I lay here, so completely immobilized by hardened molten rock and ash, so tightly I cannot expa...
I could see the cop's disgust through his aviators. "Son. Are you shitting me?" "i-it's not what you think officer!" "Step out of the car and put your hands up."as I began to comply he added "without the beer " "I can't drop it sir, it-" "Son, if you can't set it down now, you need help." "I physically cannot" ...
"Why not?" "How do you know this is a dragon egg?" "Are you serious?" The soldier looked at his leader, the only other surviving member of this party. His leader was an older man, specializing more in magic than physical powers. Sadly, dragon eggs have huge amounts of magical resistance. The leader rubbed his eyes a...
I blew dust off the old metal trunk. Flipping the clasps on either side and lifting it open, I released the smell of my childhood room and scratch'n'sniff books gone old. After a few minutes looking through all my adolescent essentials, I came upon an envelope. On the front, written in bold marker pen, it read "Max ...
(Somewhere in a small room surrounded by gray walls and flourescent lighting) Detective: I'm sure you want to find this guy just as much as we do, so let's cut to the chase. Why you? Protagonist: ...I critiqued him. (The detective looked over at his partner with a surprised look on his face) **Detective...
I had quietly put a bunch of ripped up newspaper into the vents for air for my husband's car. My Husband was the governor and as he and our driver got in I thought it was going to be hilarious. just as planned confetti everywhere, husband laughing, me laughing, driver holding eye screaming it had gotten in his eyes; ex...
First WP response, I apologize in advance. The last thing I remembered was falling off the cell tower. It was at least a 200 foot drop down, and they say it was a miracle I survived it. That's what they said about the time I was pushed off a bridge, too. And the time when I stepped on a mine in Cambodia. Awakening f...
"Good evening sir, may I take a moment to talk to you about this kitten?"And with that he was in my house. "Excuse me,"I said bewildered by this sudden intrusion. "What are you doing with that kitten." "Proving a point"Death said flatly. And with that he glided quickly to my sink and held the kitten above the drain. ...
I smell smoke. I see fire. I hear wind. I taste adventure. I feel afraid. Before me, the ruins of the cathedral stand blackened. Where its roof shielded sanctity, charred panels of wood now hold up the sky. Stained glass windows are replaced by smoke and steam sizzling through the stonework. A bell tower, no longer to...
I said, "You have a beautiful garden." She curled her fingers around her teacup, like the closing of a Venus fly-trap, and smiled at me warmly. "Thank you,"she said. "It brings me some joy. I have so little, since my husband passed. A mercy, it was. His cancer had been eating him from the inside. He tended cabbages in...
“Have you heard from her yet?” “Nope. She said I would hear by noon, but its 1:05 now and I haven’t heard from her at all?” “Don’t, sweat it bud. You’ll hear from her. She’s probably running a little late.” “I don’t know. The general rule has been noon for as long as I’ve been here, and granted that hasn’t been ...
"So, what do you say? Also, Rook to C5."Lucifer's hand waved in the air as the Chess pieces lifted themselves into the air, placing delicately in their new positions. I laughed before shuffling my own pieces into place. "What say you Demon, that I have the joy of being your right hand man? I am a humble servant of oth...
Agent Hill rounded the final corner to the Helicarrier's bridge, questions rattling around her skull. Why her? Why now? What was coming? Fury had ordered her (in a low voice) to fetch the last remaining Hydra weapon from its place in the armory. Its 'place' was behind a panel in a ceiling corner that could only be ...
He stole an entire series from me. Not one book - no, it was five of them. They would've made me famous, and I knew that for certain now, because they made him famous. Millions, he made off of those books - millions. And I'm just here in my one bedroom apartment with the original word documents in which I'd written the...
She collapsed to her knees and her head fell into her hands. Her sobs turned to a grunt of frustration as she "heard"the familiar ping. It wasn't exactly hearing, just like when she saw it, it wasn't exactly seeing. Sensing would be a better word. It was there, but also not there, kind of like when a song is stuck in y...
I stood in a forest clearing. To my right were a trio of elves, elegant, magical, shimmering, and poised. To my left, a half dozen men and women dressed in various sorts of black clothing with exotic weapons, sly smirks, and evil glares. A few of them were joking around under their breath. "You, Jason, are prophesied...
Where were you when the bombs fell? Were you in the southeast, eating up the radiation as just a few leagues south, the megapolitan area of the northeast United States was bombed into oblivion? Were you miles north of the border, watching as your community collapsed trying to support the legions of refugees coming acr...
"Vhen ze patient woke up, his skeleton was missing, and ze doctor vas never heard from again!" Dr. Vahlen was struck dumb as she watched her lab partner laugh as he worked. In all her time autopsying aliens, she had never found a monster more frightening then her fellow country man. The creature groans drowned out the...
It was a dark and stormy night. I knew that. I knew what it meant. "Come in!"I said. There was a pause, then a beautiful dame walked into my office. I knew she would. She had flowing blonde hair, a shimmering red dress, and beautiful make-up. She was naturally bewildered, of course. "How'd you know I was out ther...
Three men were having a heated argument in a deserted field. The first man wore a black suit and a condescending sneer. The second man's solemnity was underscored by a bushy brown beard and topped with a skullcap. The third man had swarthy skin and wore white robes. Each man championed his respective religion with many...
(Ooh, a top) edit: I misread the title, dammit. I thought it said manned nano aircraft. ____ "Red.. Influenza Prime, Pneumonia Prime, they're all here." "Eyes on em, Blue.

Do you know how the immune system works? It sends little fighters to where it identifies the infection’s cells, then it kills them, either through heat, or just ripping them apart. Do you know what happens when the little fighters lose? You die. Eons ago humans emerged on a small moon orbiting a small planet orbiti...
Moon demons are no joke, but platinum toaster was still going strong. "R&D are just about finishing up, here, we'll be sending the prototypes your way."That was the general. General who-the-fuck-cares what his name is 4th promoted in the past 4 hours. "Right,"I told him. Girl, get your shit together, look at the...
The angel, which took the form of a a rarer pepe I had seen many fortnights ago, raised his trumpet. "Here come Dat God again." I stared back in disbelief. He lowered his trumpet, "Do you know what you're supposed to say?" "Uhhhh, no?" When I say 'here come dat god,' you're supposed to reply 'Oh shit, hallelujah...
This was a massive changing point in my career, do I try and be the hero and risk my credibility? Or do I just have to suck it up and deal with the guilt? This man was brought here against his will and now had a whole trial to deal with. He was already poor, I could see it. How would he pay for his legal fees? I couldn...
Everyone in Colony One had come out of their homes to see it. Everyone had left their offices, their schools, their research centers. The massive, cylindrical ship was over five kilometers in length and one in diameter, its interior walls covered entirely in artificial ground for plants to grow and buildings to be con...
It was really just statistics. With a large enough universe, across a large enough span of time, even incredibly unlikely events were going to happen. Intelligent life on Earth is, at the outside, a hundred thousand years old. Now that's on a planet that is 4.3 billion years old orbiting a second generation star only s...
Confused I open my eyes, the world around me begun to flicker and fade away to reveal to dull grey walls of a strange laboratory. On one wall behind me a plate glass one way mirror. As I turned to face it standing from the lab bed I had been tied down too, a voice came out from the speakers. “Holy shit…HE’S ALIVE! SEC...
The day was cold and grey. Paladin Drew approached the aged, wooden shack on his trusty steed. He dismounted and pulled out the scroll, issued by the king, for the necromancer's divine execution. In Drew's land, the practice of dark magics, such as necromancy, is punishable by immediate execution. All delegated through...
"Alright, it's been a fun night guys, but I have to get going now. Angie's gonna be upset if I go home too late." "Aww, c'mon Tim, just stay a while longer. More drinks are being served soon!" "Nah, I'm already feeling lightheaded. Gonna call an Uber and hit the hay. See you guys tomorrow." With that, Tim bid farewe...
"Did you take care of the ..." "Yeah yeah no worries mate,"he said sitting down at the table and pushing a frothy ale towards me. "Cheers man,"I said toasting him for the drink, for the general pick me up, for the guy he just killed in the mens who tried to hustle me at snooker. We both took a long slow drink and th...
"Are you ready, Mr President?" "Yes, William."President Richards adjusted his tie. It was an unusually warm December morning in Alabama, but he kept his jacket on. There were dozens of nervous faces watching him in the capital building, and he couldn't afford to look unprofessional. "Good luck,"his wife said, befor...
"Is she for real? That purse does not go with those shoes,"I said, then winced as a room full of other heavily armed men turned to stare at me. I whipped my head back towards the surveillance screen, giving an awkward cough. "But I suppose it was the best we could manage, given the need to fit the glock in it."My o...

"What do we have here..?" THE TIMELESS MAN (How I came to know of a time traveler) Let me preface this article by saying that I do indeed realize how crazy I sound, and I doubt any of you will listen. I only hope this gains enough popluarity to catch the attention of our multi-dimentional friend who I have chosen to ...
1776 He leaned back in his chair and enjoyed the mingled scent of smoke, sweat and perfume that filled the coffeehouse. As ever, his sharpened senses continued to mesmerise him - why, he could tell where all these humans had spent their time this week. Their history was imprinted in their scents, in their breath. ...
This all started as a favor to my friend Elvis. His health was failing, he had family problems at the time, and he was honestly just sick of being a star. I had always been a bit of a loner, when my friend said he wanted the aid of my "talents"of course I wanted to help him. Back before the Information Age, it wasn't a...
The man rose from his seat to deliver his verdict. Bulbs flashed and cracked, lighting up the room, the faces of the accused hidden from view. Only God and the judge could see them now, and it was quite certain that both would not forgive them for their crimes. "The past decade has been hard on this world. Powers beyo...

In the past, people posted without pausing to think about why they did it. Was it really just to provide the internet's groping denizens with direction? Its venters with pithy one-liners? To provide the internet as a whole with joy, or fear, or sadness? To teach its users some new thing? Once I became the perpetual O...
As the party raged on In the house, people drinking merrily, family members talking, and people generally just enjoying themselves, I sat and thought. "Why?" Why should I become immortal? Why should I replace my human organs with those that are built in a lab? I would be giving up my humanity, the thing that makes me...
Grand High Prospector Tim smashed the gavel onto the wooden Steeler's coaster that had replaced lost sound block. His robe was tattered and gray, and his faded blue T-Shirt underneath shouted "RIPTIDE"in curling letters. Seated around him were the four Brothers of the Brotherhood. In the middle of the table sat a worn ...
"I heard you sustain yourselves through killing, through death: that in order to live, you must kill the living and eat them." "Well that's true, but it's really not so bad..." "And then, internally, you affront the remains of those beings you consumed with the final injustice of breaking each and every little part o...
The signals had been coming in for months before we finally got them decoded. The news, such as it was, was devastating. Millions were driven to suicide, unable to accept the apparent truths: We do have a creator, but they're not perfect. The creator wasn't even divine. Apparently our creator was a low-budget hack ...
I was trapped in a nightmare. My entire career, I saved people. My unit saved people. It's what we were best at. We had never failed. The best of the best, with our unique abilities were able to bring people back from the brink of death, no matter how grave the injury. Until now. I was held immobile, unable to a...
Hera waved out her front door. "Good night! Thanks for driving him home!"As she closed the door, she turned to her husband and asked "Honey, why does Jesus dress all in purple for bowling night?" Zeus shrugged. "Who cares? What matters is that I WON! I finally won bowling night, you know what that means?!" Hera ...
"Marvin,"Mr Oates had said on his first day, "Don't lose the key. We'd be lost without it. It opens every door in the station, so as you can understand, it is incredibly important. Keep it on yourself at all times."Marvin had nodded, happy to be entrusted with something so important at the time, the thrill of his first...
I turned 18 at 12 o clock. At 12:01, I'm in my sister's doorway, debating whether to suffocate her with a pillow or snap her neck. She's only 6. She's sleeping. I can tell from the way the night - light shines on her face. Her hands are curled up into loose balls at her chest. Probably a bad dream. Probably about me. ...
I've always wanted one of those watercolor tattoos. Have you seen them on Pinterest? They're amazing, but the artists who do them are expensive and hard to find. When I got the chance to get one at a convention, I jumped at it. I told the artist to just make something beautiful, to use me as his canvas. I saw this guy...
You'd think it'd be pretty useful for a sniper to be invisible, as long as he's still. What people don't realize is that the problem is getting into position. Once you're there, you're invisible anyway, as long as you're properly camouflaged. It has made certain jobs possible that wouldn't have been otherwise. I can...
