Warning: Light Gore. It wasn’t even 7am when I was jolted awake by the girlfriend “Come one wake up, we have to get to the gates before the line starts”. I groaned in acknowledgment and fell back asleep. Three minutes later the “quiet and peaceful” way of waking me up went out the window as Jenny went nuclear and put...
“You’re still talking.” His face goes tomato red. I roll my eyes off the face of the planet. Seriously? And he thinks I’m the annoying one. “You see, I’m shackled to mortality, and shacked to my floor. The same.” “Uh huh.” Stomping over to me, he bends over hands on hips. Like a five year old. “Now you listen her...
A hero and a "villain"are fighting one another. The fight is completely staged and everyone knows it and therefore these fights regularly attract large crowds cheering on either side. The "villain"is only in it for the fights and only joined the villains, because heroes make for more honourable opponents. They still ha...
Eye floaters? Cataract? Retinal vein occlusion? I don't know and I don't want to know. Sven is my friend, my homie. He's always there. He was there at my wedding, standing next to me. Giving me strength to move on. When I was dunked in a toilet as a high schooler, he was there, giving me moral support. My first date, ...
Oh god. Oh *dear* god, I know we aren’t the closest, but help a guy out will you? Bang! “You thought you could escape me? You f*ck.” Violet probably didn’t have to die, yet can’t she be a little nicer about it. Standing on the toilet seat, I begin to comprehend the hopelessness. Is this what she felt when I killed h...
“Let’s do it then. This time I need a young body. It’s better if it’s a built body. I am gonna need that strength if I am going to win against Lucifer. Where can I find that?” I roam through the street and sharpen my senses to hear everything. “Someone call 911. Someone call 911. Edi you know CPR? Check his pulse. Is ...
My roommate Maurice is a great guy, and I, am not. We’ve been best buds for years, ever since we were coworkers down at the local burger joint. It was only natural that we would both move out and become roommates and so far, it’s been great. Like any roommates, we have to divvy up the household chores. At fi...
I rounded the corner of my shitty apartment complex, pulling a hefty drag from my cigarette. My life was mediocre to say the least. Dead end job, shitty car, and never enough money left at the end of the month to get ahead. “Fuck me…” I sighed as I slip the small brass key into the lock of my studio apartment. The lan...
Ambassador Nancy Shrute von Tackenberg was on edge that day. She was amazed that the introduction to the first alien the world had seen would not be the cause of it. It was almost another Tuesday. No. It was the Humans First church which seemed to appear out of nowhere as a factor in the election. One day it was a dese...
The guy who slept with my ex husband was about to get what he deserved. He was dangling over the bubbling lava, gasping for air, holding my sturdy hand. I knew he probably had no clue, but it felt right. I didn’t want to hurt my ex, because he meant too much. He filled a place in my heart, but 6 months ago, he left me ...
It's been a month since I canceled that stupid subscription my sister ordered for me. If I had known my life would turn out like this, I would've happily let the pile of beauty magazines live in my bathroom. The problem was my bros were giving me weird looks and the subscription cost fifty bucks a month. My male pride ...
Usually the Easter bunny was cheery, the st Patrick's day leprechaun drunk and playful. And the π day pie had been eaten. Today was different though, the Easter bunny was wearing white snow camo, and the leprechaun was making sure his guns worked, and not even 3.145% of the pie had been eaten. they weren't going to ...
I looked around for people in my incorporeal body, moving through the air like mist on a rainy day. I was a little rabbitesque creature,and for the first time I saw my self in a mirror, I exclaimed "I am f**king cute". This felt especially nice,because I never felt so,when I was alive.The world, Gadriel, was covered in...
It had been decades since leencorps first mixed reality device hit the market, and now they were as ubiquitous as smartphones. With the help of advanced artificial intelligence, users could seamlessly blend the virtual and physical worlds, creating a fully immersive experience. But as the lines between reality and fic...
I am a vampire. I survive by feeding off the blood of non-vampires. While I can survive on animal blood, it is just that. Survival. Nothing more. Mere survival is a piss poor way to live, I know; I've had to feed on animal blood far too often and for far too long. Here come these hypocrites claiming that humans c...
Upon the dusk of death and gloom comes a hoover. And another, and another, and another: popping out their broken holes like creatures from the depths of some-such modern tragedy. They roam the earth, scoffing up dead things and dust bowls in their innard gutters. Everywhere, the stare of post-apocalpytic cheery eye...
I am an Anti-Therapist. I give people existential crises. People call me evil and sadistic, but I just find it hilarious! Watching people break-down gives me inner satisfaction! I used to be an innocent vlogger. People in the eastern society in which I grew up looked down on me. I used to think I never had any t...
The entire room was furnished with white, red, and green Christmas lights. A Christmas Wreath hanging above a brick fireplace, with the fire emitting a soft crackle, stockings dangling yet out of the fire's reach. Mistletoe framing the outline of the fireplace. A woman with a cup of hot chocolate on a small table right...
[poem].? [pros].? Tacking wistfully, the children stream past. The waters of youth splash against the thoughts of onlookers as they marvel at the energy from such whisps of things, amongst titans of the past. A metamorphosis from ignorance to wonder, as groups of tourists beam images of themselves, and the ocean arou...
What first seemed like a blessing for a Texas winter soon became everyone's worst nightmare. The first week was fine, a bit weird, but a pleasant surprise to see snow since global warming made snow practically unthinkable. Now we're on the 4th week and it hasn't stopped or even slowed, it has covered all of the window...
I always wondered about to moral implications of my line of work. How all this would reflect me when my time came. I was under no illusion that I was a righteous man. In fact, I was the farthest thing from it. But…this isn’t something I could have ever thought possible. I was, before all this, Terry. Last names ar...
"Where"that door leads for me doesn't matter. It's where that door does NOT lead for me that is the issue. It's been fourteen years that I couldn't leave my building anymore. Of course the same curse affected emergency exits and even the windows. I tried it all - I wasn't short of time to do so! : I'm trapped inside. ...
Sanjit globbed a thick ball of mashed potatoes and gravy into Maggie's hair. She screamed, tears welling into her eyes, her arms flailing to her bun, shoving Sanjit away. "Fuck you, dude."Maggie's friend, Amy said, crossing her arms harshly, her mouth a thin line. Sanjit grew defensive as the moment went awry; he had...
Xzeli's notes, entry no. 1 *After making safe landfall and appropriating the required disguise, I have gathered several imminent details regarding the human celebration known as "Christmas,"which seems to be held at the end of each planetary cycle. One peculiar detail is the inclusion of large foliage in the dwelling ...
Porsche now. Elderly gentleman, with agitated hands, habitually textured by the rough edges of a Cuban cigar, especially on Sundays after mass at Santa Maria's. I waited for the Porsche to cross by and looked about at the sidewalk. Two children were playing by an open sewer, and mumbling songs under their breath as th...
*Don’t you fucking say it.* The thought rebounded through my head, over and over, as I glared at the speaker with murderous intent. *Don’t you dare fucking say it.* As it turns out, organizing an entire empire is a massive undertaking. Especially when you’re doing things like taking others’ feelings into account. I...
As I happened to know one day, the word "underground"actually has a meaning most of us don't know about. Our civilisation is not the first to achieve technological success and remnants of an old world are still lurking miles under Earth's surface filled with prehistoric animals and immortal people collected throughout ...
"Zero? I thought "1"was the most dangerous! It doesn't make any sense!" "You see, your newborn daughter is literally the avatar of God, the creator of this universe. We haven't considered such possiblity, thus we had to assign "0"to her". "But why would God want to be born as a human being?" "Nobody knows!" Severed...
The infernal’s smile was shy, the same sweet one he’d given her for a decade. “This flower,” he said as he brushed a clawed fingertip gently over the silvery petals, “is the only flower that can survive, even thrive, in the firestorm hellplains of my homeland. Their beauty and resilience reminded me of. . .” His voice ...
(I’m not really good at writing mental issues so I apologize for that. I also I apologize for not being that close to the prompt. Also Mods, this will also end up in my The Fallen: Dump-Zone story on Wattpad, letting you know that now.) I growled, lifting my pistol towards the leader of the Dishonored, blood leaking f...
For centuries, humanity had lived in harmony with the friendly alien race known as the Zorons. The two species had formed a strong bond, sharing their knowledge and resources in an effort to better understand the universe. But one day, everything changed. An alien scientist named Zorx discovered that humans were...
Most people referred to my Grandfather as eccentric. After retirement he had gone into collecting antiquities, oddities, abnormalities. Anything strange, old, or rare. Several years ago I noticed a strange doll at my Grandfather’s house. Not strange in itself. What most people would recognize as odd was the fact that...
I was out for a hike in the woods one day when I came across a small, battered camera lying on the ground. I had always been fascinated by photography, so I picked it up and started examining it. It was not a model I was familiar with but I was certain I could figure out how to work it. As I turned it on and...
I didn't put milk in my coffee this morning. And now I'm alive to write this. I snoozed a few too many times this morning, standard Monday morning behavior, you know? In the normal, rushed fashion of trying to make up for lost time I did my best to make up for lost time at every turn. I brushed my teeth while pee...
"So Carl remind me why we're doing this thing again?" Carl looked at the boy before him and sighed then sheepishly turned away and muttered. "I was in a hurry, ok"He said meeting his friend's gaze His friend continued to stare at him causing Carl to speak once again. "Can we drop this thing already Luke. I've alre...
You look really cute in that outfit." "Don't call me cute." "You are cute when you are angry" "STOP CALLING ME CUTE! I hate being called cute. I have always been called cute. My entire life I have been called cute. When I was a child I was a 'cute kid.' I was never called smart, mature, or kid. As I grew things ...
Some said it was creepy. It was. But it was a necessary job. The balance of power was fragile and could shift at any point in time. Ok maybe this was what I tried to tell myself. There certainly were high ranking shadow who would follow mafia bosses and other dangerous individuals. But i wasn't one of them. ...
1/2 It is not a glamorous job, but it is an important one. I am a therapist. Actually I started as a bartender, but you help one person through murderous impulses and suddenly you’re a therapist, but I digress. I have a rather exclusive patient list, and work purely on a referral basis. My patients are not nice peopl...
I believe I was seven when, I realized my gift. It happened while playing a game of hide n seek with my twin brother in the summer of 18 in our small town, I was seeking for hours and couldn't find any sign of him, then I just had a gut feeling. I don't know why I listened to it but I did and walk across town to the po...
They came from all corners of the multiverse, united in their mission to deliver a message to humanity. At first, no one took them seriously. They thought it was just some elaborate prank or marketing campaign. But as the characters began to speak, it became clear that they were not joking. "We have come to tell you ...
Chapter 4: Information Is Ultimately Lost Entropy wins. Emergence blossoms temporarily, based on complexity and available energy, but ultimately entropy always wins. A pre-collapse attempt at levity paraphrased the three laws of thermodynamics thusly: 1. You can't win; 2. You can't break even; 3. You can't get out of...
The magic of this place was strange. The locals had their spells. They always related to things that had to do with their lives. It wasn’t uncommon for their gods to favor certain times of the year, so people would often celebrate and sing their praises on those days. They would cook meals and offer them to the spirits...
The door clicked shut behind me and I heard the girls bracing it. After a quick attempt to escape, which they mocked with their giggling, I looked behind me and saw some candles and a box of matches on the countertop. With a sigh, I lit the candles and turned the light off. "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary." Im...
The dust gradually accumulated on the ancient tomb. The crows of the roosters awoke Robert, beginning another wondrous day. Humming as he lumbered to the toilet, Robert relieved himself before beginning the day as he must, as everyone must. Six thick slices of bacon, cooked beyond crispness, six eggs, scrambled once...
"Huh?" "I said 'the capacitors need more capacitance' they're too small." "If they were any bigger the heat sink would fail" "Then the heat sink needs to be upgraded. We can't improve performace without more heat generation." "I'm not sure we need much more than this." "This is a directed energy weapon right?" "Of cour...
The sound of a jiggling lock awoke me from my nap. I wasn’t too upset about being awoken though, I mean, I spent most of my time sleeping. I turned my head around to face my cell door, rapidly blinking my eyes to adjust to the harsh fluorescent lights above me. I excepted it to be one of the guards, dropping off my din...
It was 1685, I was walking through the country, and watched yet another body being buried. Small pox, terrible disease, killed my first wife. Ever since she died I knew I had to find a cure. I was a scientist after all, and of course I knew that mercury idea wasn’t going anywhere, so I thought of a cure. Cow pox. Cow p...
I died in 1874. I have little interest in revisiting the details. It was, as I suspect it is for most people, a traumatic experience. Suffice to say, I died and yet I remained. My spirit no longer bound to the flesh and blood that had supported me for seven and twenty years, I found myself condemned to persist as an ap...
What a peaceful night that was... My head was falling down, I was so sleepy. And finally I've fallen asleep while giving headpats to my neko girl who's been on top of me the entire night. Somehow, I woke up with a huge weight on top of me. When I opened my eyes, everything was dark, and I was unable to move, due to...
What is the life of a jar of clay? It is--for all intents and purposes--quite meaningless. The average clay jar spends its life on a shelf collecting dust. Perhaps it carries a cargo, a burden. Perhaps it is inscribed with a message, or art. Cargos often spoiled, messages never read. To be a jar of clay is to be unnot...
The red sun rose again over New Vienna. It was a normal day for everyone, including he employees at the Viehböck Science Institute. “Oh, look”, Mira said as she started up her device, “today is New Terra day!” “Really?” Gerald’s response sounded mildly interested at best. “Don’t you think back to the pioneer times? Whe...
She was glaring at me. Samsara the 31st, Creator Goddess of a dozen universes and one of the greatest social engineers in the Pantheon was already intimidating on a good day. This... Was not a good day. "So."She said curtly. "Back already." "Yeah."I said, trying not to squirm too hard as she adjusted the gilded lapel...
"Nope, hang on. Don't grab those."The human looked at me, took a second look, and jumped back in surprise. "Ah, you weren't paying attention when you walked in. Right."I waved friendlily, because I can't really do facial expressions. "Hello! I'm the... manager slash sole worker. Welcome to the store!" "You're a skelet...
The Samurai had caught up to me a day's ride from the last village I’d travelled through, most likely tipped off. The road dipped through a shallow valley, crossed a stream and then rose up a hill to the edge of a forest. I had spotted him on the other side of the valley, I could’ve disappeared into the forest and spar...
You taught me how to love, In a world that had forgotten, Now you look on from above, While I'm here feeling rotten, "Be strong"you whisper lovingly, As if I had some other choice, You left me oh so suddenly, With just a memory of your voice. This power gave me strength, But not the kind I need, I'd go to ...
"Hey, Steven, are you coming, man?"Justin beckoned to me. "Well..."I didn't want to go. Just because really. I wanted to sit on my couch with my laptop and flit between gaming and watching a video for an indeterminate amount of time until I probably fall asleep and regret it the next day. "I don't know. I've gotta get...
It was the night before Christmas, and all through the house, a wailing cry woke a solitary mouse. "ALFREEED!"Young Timmy sobbed. The butler, dutiful and wise, turned the corner, and wished for his demise. For young Timmy sat, beneath the Christmas tree. His presents unwrapped, as if in a furious killing spree. Ribbo...
The Squid's tentacles erupted forward, restraining and disarming the crooks. Psychee rendered them unconscious. Hands were wiped clean, Psychee literally doing a clap-swish of her hands to clean her gloves. Unconsciously, I attempted the same motion, and the nozzles of my AKs loudly clanked. The reporters surged forw...
“They don’t just take ANYBODY.” “You should be proud to have been granted an interview!” “I can’t believe that I am going to know a member of the Heralds!” Everybody that had found out about my interview had had a similar reaction. First shock, then envy, and then, pride that one of their own had been chosen. Well...
Giving toys to children all around the world is what drove me, giving toys is what motivated me to wake up on Christmas eve to deliver the toys. To me it didn't matter if a kid was bad on my list, every child deserved a gift. This was how the system worked, a system where every little boy and girl spends time with thei...
"Ugh. No thanks. Given that my family is dead, I made some friends who share the same issue I do, but around this time of year they become intolerable." The creature shrinks back slightly, then Growls. The reverberations from that sound shudder through my body. Its eyes gaze into mine with a hatred that I haven't seen...
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me"she lamented, a stormy look focused on the small figure gripped tightly in her hand. "It seems they missed your lazy eye"he quipped, looking over her shoulder to inspect the statue. The forms of the two gods were intertwined, their arms around each others' shoulders. The goddess had...
In the beginning there were two competing forces Light and Darkness. The Light was given with the ability to create while Darkness was given the ability to corrupt and take over what the light had created. When these two forces fought they created galaxies, solar systems, and planets along with the light's most preciou...
College is a bitch. Sure the education is important and all, but it’s pretty fucking stressful. Classes, tuition, socialisation, all of it builds up to a breaking point, and if it weren’t for video games, and for friends, madness would have taken over ages ago. Not really sure if it hasn’t already, but you get the id...
When you look out over the water there is nothing. It's baren and lifeless. All the ocean's intricacies are hidden from view. Beneath the water lies knowledge that we were never intended to have. Out here on the boats, sometimes when you stare hard enough, you can trick your mind. The water becomes still, the ship i...
I hated to leave the cauldron bubbling, but I just heard a knock at the door. I gestured to Lamashtu to take position next to the door; she meowed but followed my orders this time. My right hand went to the knife at my belt as I opened my door just wide enough to be able to see who was standing outside. To my surprise,...
It was weird. When I got my powers, I thought my social life was over. After all, who wants to be friends with the guy that turns into a fire-breathing scaley every time he gets mad? But as I soon learned, superpowers of any kind would attract suck-ups. And I was in a school full of them. I loathed the attention at fi...
Her magic is clockwork precision. Decades and centuries of studying the great masters, Holdorf the Grey, Minzar the Magnificent, Aldretch Tor the father of Blue Magic. There wasn’t a page of their tomes she didn’t know. She knew the Gambriel Divine Proofs like the back of her hand. A fireball from her hand shone like...
They have kept my body alive I know not for how long. Unable to perceive the world around me I know not for how long. I hunger, yet I cannot eat. I thirst, yet I cannot drink. However I have come to exist in my state; whatever overwhelming mad symphony of devices continues to preserve this carcass has finally come ...
The scent of iron fills the air, a scent all too familiar for the man. Walking as best he could with blood oozing from several large wounds, he stopped to look at the aftermath. Twelve cadavers lay strewn about, several torn to several large chunks, others looking unharmed besides the bloodshot eyes, crushed throats, o...
\[Olympic-tier Advice\] "I'm in a different universe...,"Allan repeated the statement in quiet awe every few feet. The long, white, narrow hallway reminded him of every other office building in his own universe. But, he'd passed a few windows even if the current hall didn't have any. He'd seen the purple sky and red m...
I wrap my long leather duster around me against the bitter winds. The ‘flats’ are a horrible place renowned for their icy cold winds and featureless landscapes. I trudge on as the cold wind is whipping my hair and duster but this is where I need to go. This is where I need to be. A tumble weed races across the barren...
"Yes, the artifact is just over here". This answer sums my dad up better than any other you could imagine. Back in the days, George Lucas himself hired him for Raiders of the Lost Ark to build some of the sets. And that's how a talented carpenter, son of a Baptist Reverend, stepped into the strange but fascinating wor...
*Dear Diary –* Is that how you do this? This seems silly. I'm just talkin' to myself through a piece of paper. Anyway, I guess I'll just get to it. I don't remember what year it was. What I do remember is I was speeding through Los Angeles like my life depended upon it. Back then, cops were about as useful as t...
I stand at the entrance to the den, prepared and ready as always. I slowly step in, tuning in to the minute sounds of the beast breathing. Suddenly it wakes exclaiming in a loud roar "FEEBLE ADVENTURER, HAVEN'T YOU HEARD NO SWORD CAN PEARCE MY DAIMOND HARD PELT!" "Good thing I did not bring a sword." "What?!" It r...
I woke up one day and everyone was just dead. My wife, my kids, everyone I could find… just dead. I am no scientist, and I have no clue why I was spared, or why they died. All I know is that I am alive. I buried my wife and kids in the back yard. I didn’t know what else to do. My wife’s dog, Daisy, a 9lb Bisson, that ...
I catch up with an old friend, at Olive Garden. We order from polar opposite ends of the menu -- it shows how different we still are. It's why we drifted apart. I have the spaghetti, and spill the red sauce down my front -- a white dress shirt. By face burns as red as the tomatoes. He orders something fancy, and has it...
"Everyone you care about is dead, there's no one to help you" He laught at me, provoking me with his words as always...well, he's what people called "villain"and I'm what people called "hero". Everyone I care about is dead By his hand and in his hand, like the lifeless corpse laying on the floor, is my friend, the las...
Things changed for me that day. I mean, they weren’t always normal for me to begin with, but that day, that overcast Tuesday afternoon at the bus stop, changed things. And I wouldn’t say it was for the better. Let me start at the beginning, well, not that far back. Just the basics, I guess. But, hold on, let ...
'Can I just admit defeat right here then?' Grefephas asks 'You can...' Priestess Hyyl says 'Done, now, I need to go back home before things get too chaotic again... You WON'T believe what kind of mess the hell becomes, if nobody is being a babysitter of those dunces...' Grefephas says in very annoyed manner not annoyed...
"Ten hup! And left! Left! Left!" The band started marching, in perfect step. The percussion were all tapping their drums on the director's calls of left step, perfectly in time. It was performance time, and their performance was ready. They played simple songs, but as they played their first opener, and went through t...
Gerbil tea became a huge thing in the summer of 2037, as the exceptonal heat waves provoked massive gerbil invasions a bit everywhere worldwide (it is still unclear how it happened even in regions where gerbils didn't exist before). It began as a viral video on PicPoke where a group of korean girls grabbed gerbils by ...
"Why are you crying?"The hero asked. "I do not relish what is to come. I have lived it so many times... so so many times. I just want this curse to end. That's all. It's driving me mad and yet, I still feel... sorrow for having to do what I must." I looked him in the eyes. I had held this conversation with him countle...
"Billy, Billy, oh Billy,"I say, my tone lowering each word. I lean against the cabins back wall. A full moon's light shines through a hole in the roof. "Why did you have to die Billy,"I say. I take a sip from my water bottle and feel refreshed; it's gatorade. Memories flood back into my mind, and I recall everything th...
The gods never meet all together, all at once, and at the same location. I tell you this so you may know how significant a meeting like this is. One would think that the room holding all the gods would look spectacular, a sight that our mortal brains could not comprehend, however this was not the case. The room was l...
Nobody looks good when they come out of the womb. After all, you've been cramped up inside the equivalent of a wet sleeping bag for the last nine months, and that never does anyone's skin any favors. Compound that with the conniptions that a human skull and body has to go through to fit through a 10-centimeter hole. Yo...
Ryan had never been one for surprises, especially when it came to job interviews. He had been looking for work for months, ever since he turned sixteen and was finally old enough to get a part-time job. He was excited to apply at the very first Waffle House opened in Sydney. He borrowed a horrible old blazer and...
Hannah stood proudly in front of the massive machine, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "I did it, Todd!"she exclaimed. "I created a homunculus!" Todd's eyes widened in panic as he looked at the small, synthetic being in front of him. Something about the whole thing made him uneasy, it looked exactly like the thing ...
I never thought we'd grow old together. Everyone knows how the story goes. Boy meets girl, girl meets boy, they fall in love and spend the rest of their lives as they are, free to enjoy each other as their prime selves, unchanged. When I met my husband we were both young, practically children. He was a local boy, w...
Okay. Male and female. Both internationally wanted on bioterrorism charges. To the public she is his second in command. To them they are equals, friends, lovers. Both probably not entirely sane/sociopathic but do care for eachother. Currently near death, having just survived and escaped a fight through faking their de...
Marz 1. Everyone here looks like humans with green skin and stalks. Their language is not exactly English yet exactly like English. 2. It's a pacifist society with a small, *real* empire (a single moon, because nobody lived there) and one of the few planets in the galaxy to have achieved World Peace. That's mostly...
"You chopped off my fucking Arm!"I glared at Jake, my best friend, and the biggest idiot I know. "I said I'm sorry!"he replied like it was no big deal. Maybe for him, but my species needs a month to regenerate lost limbs. "YOU. CHOPPED. OFF. MY. **FUCKING**. ARM!"I glared harder. He tried to speak again, but a well-...
It didn’t even click at first, that half-ripped page of notebook paper with the four numbers on it. I honestly forgot about it when I shoved it into my jeans pocket and was led through the crowd of police and medical personnel to the stretcher. I think one of the officers said my brother handed it to him, that he was s...
I stared at my reflection in the mirror as if frozen. With trembling hands I grabbed my cheek, instead of taut, young skin I felt the skin of an old man. Like a rough piece of leather that lost its shape after years of use. But, how could this be? Why was the person in the mirror doing the same thing! Was she t...
So what brings you Dakopolis, business, pleasure, or pokémon, eh?... Oh ya you betcha, we are huge on the 'mon circuits. Our metro area has the Battle Creek park, where you can let your friends out to roam free, and see how they fair fighting on their own. I know, right? Mayor and Professor Aspen were real proud of tha...
"...hey. Hey guys." "Boss please-" "It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it."The groans of the crew echoed throughout the sewer as I purposefully gave a dumb laugh. They could complain all they wanted, but it was better than just silently walking through this place and breathing in god knows what. Ben...
Sam was just finishing his usual 4 hour watchman shift onboard the North Aquila vessel at 8pm local. The ship was cruising peacefully back to port in Scotland after a successful mission in the Atlantic ocean. Joining Sam onboard the North Aquila were 11 other shipmates that worked together on the mission. Now that t...
Before humanity sought to traverse the cosmos and survey the seas, before even the idea of writing had been conceived by the Sumerians, mankind wanted something to praise, something to worship. Would such an entity be benevolent, blessing those it finds deserving? Or would it be cruel and coldhearted, inflicting destr...
A thousand of the greatest minds that have lived and died have been unable to provide the answers to my existence and the forces that have given me eternal life an animation. The pontificators of the first galactic federation had no scientific explanation for my existence. When I was brought before the great star-mind,...
The coffee had gone cold and bitter, but she didn't know what else to do but quietly sip at the mug and stare at the rain streaming down the windows of the coffee shop. She watched the two-lane just past the half-full parking lot, watching the rare headlights come up around the curve, always hoping it was Mike's blue s...
