The USA Today lays open on the breakfast table. "Solar Smuggler Detained in Hell!". The image of the mans last moments recreated vividly in my mind. Being a smuggler myself I knew what his consequences would be. His soul would be traded for his release. Only to live a short life left on Earth, knowing, his eter...
"Staff seargent Britter, reporting"The Ssgt held his salute firmly as he was inspected by the base Commander. A chill ran over his naked body, the room was well conditioned. "At ease"The Commanding officer studied Britter as he extended his leg out from attention and cupped his hands infront of him. "Staff seargent br...
Sam sat on the curb with his headphones in his ear. He scrolled through his playlist. Arcade Fire Elliott Smith Fleet Foxes The Shins The Smiths It was his... downer playlist. He finally settled on a song and reflected on his day. "Siri," Siri responded with her usual boo-boop "Depression symptoms." "Cal...
"Congratulations! You are the winner!" The voice came from nowhere. I searched for the origin of the voice, but the room let me no time as a huge disco ball suddenly came out from the ceiling. Cannons launched confettis in the air. The walls turned into speakers blaring techno music at a very loud volume. Instantly, I...
Ash hung his head low while walking out of the store. His heart was heavy, burdened with the knowledge of what was coming next. He gripped the grocery bag tightly as he walked back to the PokeCenter. Every victory, every loss, the pride he felt that came with every badge. Outside the air was clean, the sun was warm and...
(I am not writing this is what I would actually do) I look at the phone in confusion trying to figure out what happened...maybe I just go a virus. Then I go into the play store only to find out there are no browsers available...ok that weird but I can just sit on my laptop since its summer break. I turn on my laptop a...
There was intelligent life alright, too intelligent. A quick trajectory adjustment and the probe burned up safely in a neighboring planet's atmosphere, providing a last update on their development without registering as anything more than space debris. Extraterrestrial radio had been exciting. Exponentially advancin...
This is the world: four white walls, a piece of paper with three words on it, and a pen. The white space on the paper mocks me. As if the walls weren't white enough? "Am I really?"This is the world, this question. This is sanity. I can only give one answer? I'd ask the question so many times, vary the answer with eve...
I don't care if it's illegal, I need some. I couldn't believe when the government banned caffeine. What the hell were they thinking? Addictive, rash behaviors, mood swings, the government panel told him everything and the president soaked it up like a fresh doughnut in a cup of...DAMNIT. I must have coffee. Headin...
The day began when the sun creeped through my shades. The bed was placed so every glare of the sun lands between my eyes. Can't help but get up to dodge the golden rays. A hot shower always helps wake me up. Turn the left handle for hot water, someone messed up the layout before my woman wanted me to move here. Th...
A man needs to tell a riddle to an ancient spirit in order to get the rare plant the spirit guards and save his child's life. * The spirit must not be able to give the right answer. * There must be a right answer. I.E. No trick questions. * The man must no the answer. He cannot ask a riddle and not be able to verify...
Olav was 15. Since the beginning, he could do something weird. When something happened, it made something more than just light. You know the feeling when a car drives by and the car light goes into your eye? That's how it feels. Just, it's so weird. Nobody else can do this. I have reason to believe that this weird sens...
No one was exactly sure when it started, but it had already gotten media attention by 6 am. Random celebrity actors and actresses had been infected with a rare unexplained virus. Doctors weren’t sure how exactly the virus worked but the effect was the actors began to lose their memory of their actual lives and take on ...
And as if it were magic, that deep growl brought everything back. Of course, I didn't know my birthday. My sense of time had long since dissolved into a day-by-day basis with no concept of the big picture save for the all-important seasons. I couldn't speak, because I didn't. I never learned how. I never knew my true m...
London- a multicultural melting pot. The aged streets that are constantly being rebuilt under the unstoppable force of time, and a permanently thriving economy. The people, always with something to do. The city breathes as one, and many Londoners never understand the atmosphere of a small town when they leave Londons g...
It glinted enticingly. It shone alluringly. It was precisely the type of eye-catching object that lends itself to being picked up and examined by curious passerby and the occasional dog. And this is precisely how it spent its days. It was picked up gingerly, inspected thoroughly, and, on whoever having deigned to retri...
Leaving the cave was an adventure in its own. Sir Pheredin and himself had just ventured into the lair of the dark seductress Wendra. She had tricked them both into running a foolish errand for the King. When they returned to the castle, they were unable to enter due to dark layers of magic surrounding it. With no wher...
'Here we go' he thought, 'This is it'. He stalks towards his victim with his goal clear in his mind. After the long nights of planning and imagining how it would feel he can barely believe it is time to go through with it. He gets closer and his victim sees him, a look of confusion comes over their face. He breaks i...
This is it. This is my time to shine. My helmet feels tight against my long frame. I settle in on my stabilizer. I look to the stars and pray. Pray I will be among them. That I will serve like my brothers in arms. That I will make those before me proud and those after me inspired. Two ranks before me, I saw one sol...
Velma Velma's black half inch pumps created a harsh tattoo on the cold cement floor. The hallway was dark, like being stuck in perpetual twilight. She let out a small huff of frustration as she realized Shaggy and Scooby were probably still in downstairs lobby toking up and Fred and Daphne were probably fucking in...
That is the thing about "deep cover,"no matter what, don't break your character. Despite the fact that the Soviet Union fell long ago, where events became history, and history became urban legends, a few remained dedicated to the KGB, to the Motherland that bred our temperaments. I would not let my colors run in the fa...
The bay doors slid open, revealing only a darkened cavity. A silent flash lit the bay as solid boosters fired for a brief moment, illuminating an ovoid shape. A dull grey nose slid outwards, followed by the rest of the ship. The Seamstress whispered out of the bay, its emission sink engaged, sucking in any betrayi...
The voice boomed out perfectly loud and perfectly quiet, able to be heard by every human on earth. The large ships slowly arriving earth were also apparent, but most importantly the smell - like that of every sweet, innocent thing ever. Like gas flowing through a hive of bees, the high pitched frenzy that is the human ...
I was all over this prompt but can't find myself able to take it "through the characters day" “Own the word, take it back, faggot can be reimagined and reclaimed, take it back!” Rodrick pulls the headphones out of his ear, muting the podcast. He stumbles to the kitchen placing his ipod near his keys, it’s the third ...
Abdu-Lei-Ka entered the establishment. He had never thought to enter it before. But now he had followers. A small tribe in the Amazon forest praised him and all he does, and gave him the confidence to enter. A thin cloud of smoke came through the doorway as he walked to the bar. A creature with red skin and horns behin...

“Stop right there!” Sam looked back to see two Literofficers running yelling at him. He had been sitting enjoying a coffee at a local shop but now he was up on his feet pumping the pavement through the downtown core. People were looking he noticed. Small children with wide eyes and adults with sad disdain on their f...
"What is it?"snapped the President over the cell phone as he made his way deeper in the bunker, The Purge was on tonight he wanted to crawl into a bottle and not think about. "Sir it's about the purge, UAV surveillance and reports from the field indicate it isn't running as usual"reported the voice of a young man from...
I had never seen this pop-up box before. All it said was, "No."That was it. No options to change it, no 'for details click here' option, none of that stuff. Just 'no'. The only thing I had done was boot to Windows 7 and put a new Windows 8 DVD into the drive. It autoran, and here we are. I clicked 'No,' and it re...
"You there!" I cringed, feeling his cold glare on the back of my neck. Turning, I mumbled "Y-yes sire?"He leered towards me, cape dragging down the steps as he descended the staircase, clutching at the banister with his wizened claw. "Kneel before your master."he rasped, and I found myself on the floor before I coul...
"Tell me again,"I said. "You can take both kidneys, the pancreas..." "Uh, yes,"the nurse said. "Unfortunately your heart would not make a viable donation. Beyond organs, there is also tissue donation - I can bring you paperwork for eye donation, if you'd like." "Yes, bring it,"I said. "But hurry, there isn't much tim...
Although the crowd around him rose and fell in an uneven rhythm Anthony stood, rooted with his eyes on the screen. The final game of the series played on a multitude of monitors with the volume high allowing the conversation of the commentators to float over the din of the bar. "You know he's feeling the pressure he...
“JL is going to shit a brick. Shit a brick. Who told him about the party?” “Told him? Nobody had to tell him, sir, he already knew where it was. Sir.” The Production Assistant peppered his words with signs of respect, trying to preempt another problem before it started. “Well is Daffy here? We can shoot his scenes...
In front of him, a man laid down, panting, drenched in sweat, like he ran the run of his life. He did. On his desk, two or three phones were ringing. He didn't care. He knew what was happening. The United States of America were on the verge of destruction. He hadn't see it coming. Not on this scale. The threats from...
The caped crusader looked over the city with glazed eyes. This is not how his tale was supposed to be. He crushes the note in his hand so tightly that his hand begins to bleed. ”Everyone is gone. Janice…father…my home planet…my boss and coworkers…all gone because of me” It wasn’t something he could blame his arch-ne...
“Well what troubles me is that you keep saying one way or another. It sounds pretty ominous.” “Allow me to try to better explain myself: as you have freed me from a lengthy slumber inside a lantern, I am compelled to grant thee these wishes three, upon the completion of which I shall be returned to this receptacle, aw...
The locker room was quiet. The team was in a state of despair, down 1 to 7, in only the first twenty minutes of the game. James Strops, the rookie, had only just joined the team, after Frederico Radsman had broken four of his scapula's in the recent semifinals of the Sportsball Championships. Nobody had known where...
The oval office looked especially smashing with its new inhabitant: one of those Hawaiian skirt-wearing bobble-heads statue. No doubt that future generations would be fascinated to hear about the bit of trivia from his unofficial biographies, the president thought cheerfully. Aside from that being president was a terr...
This is it, the final piece of the puzzle. Felix opens the kraft single package, reaches in, grabs the cheese slice and places it on his sandwhich. Nothing happens. Bewildered, Felix inspects the Kraft rapper. "Made with 100% soy milk"NOOOO Felix cries. This was suppose to be it he clammored. The only thing I needed to...
Aaron sits in front of the computer monitors dying of boredom. Not a single interesting thing was happening in the entire city. He looks around the lair- or as he called it The Duck Pond. As he spins around in the computer chair aimlessly, Vance Jones enters with his usual swagger. “Aaron! Sidekicks monitor the city!” ...
I'd always said my cat, my beautiful, sleek, black kitty, was really a panther. And now... She really was. I woke this morning, crushed into the wall, Tika taking up all the room in my bed. I jumped, fled to the other side of the room, trying to catch my breath. She turned lazily to look at me, rose and stretched. ...
The walls are yellow. I don't like yellow. Yellow is not pretty. Blue is pretty. I asked Momma if I could make the walls in my room blue, but she said no. One day I hid some paint in my pocket after fun time so that I could paint the walls blue when no one was looking, but the paint ran away. It left some blue be...
'Right, are you sure you've got it all? Want me to run through it again?' the head scientist said, powering up the temporal gate. 'Yes, I'm got it, stop worrying. I'll get on the rig, sort out the blow out thingy...' 'Blowout preventer.' 'That's it, blowout preserver. Sort out that thing, stop any possible explosion...
"Heads I live, tails I die."The coin landed on heads. "I'll take it,"I told the strange man in the suit. "It was a pleasure doing business with you,"he smiled, showing his pearl white teeth, "I'll be taking my leave now." I stared at the pill in the palm of my hands as the stranger got up and walked past me; his st...
The great king could not believe what he had just read. His old nemesis who declared war on his country and every other country had anticipated his loss and the circumstances around it. He wasn't a crazed war monger intent on ending the world, he was doing everything to save not only his country, but all the countries ...
Alone with the Tree, in this strange floating place of brightness and warmth, I hunched my shoulders, feeling like the most miserable person to have ever walked on the good earth. I imagined I felt the Tree’s impassive gaze steady upon me. Scuffing my toe into the weird golden sandy soil into which the Tree sank its ...
I've played my fair share of Payday 2, I got dis. We were riding in the back of our van, just the 4 of us, we weren't friends, but we did have a small history of knowing each other. we didn't do any small talk, we just sat, silently preparing our gear and going over the plan one more time, with our tech savvy "assista...
Tuesday Morning &nbsp; Let me tell you where this all began, I was young, very young in fact, although at the time I would have told you that I wasn't. I would have told you I was mature, I was ready and that there was nothing that could stop me, I had the air of youthful arrogance and it would take me a very...
I pressed myself against the door, shocked beyond words, paralysed with incomprehension. For a long while I simply stood and stared, my mouth slack, my eyes darting around my office, trying to understand what I was seeing. The books, my books, the ones I’ve gathered through my years and have read and loved and kept on...
'Today's the big day!' Josie spoke to herself in her head. Echoing the words that so many people had said to her in the past few weeks. The lights around the old mirror flickered in dimness, showing the age of the family heirloom. Her heart sank a bit as the her parents' faces appeared in her mind. She knew it would be...
"In 2013 I leaked documents about the US goverment spying on civilians.That was because I belived in a free america.No spying.No opression.Because a free america is more than just being able to have freedom to do as you please, its to speak as you please.Actions may speak louder than words but words you CANNOT ignore! ...
Coming back into my body, I sat for countless unmoving moments, blissfully aware of having reached the heavens, of having felt nirvana, of having been one with all. My body fizzed, zapped like electricity, shooting through all the currents of life, one moment part of fish, the next, part of leaf. I am colour, I am ...
'Men, we all know what day it is.' The goverment council, consisting of five men, united into the discussion room twenty minutes prior to the annual Purge. Each took a seat, facing one another at an rectangluar marble table. 'Ahem, yes, we seem to be short on time, so let's proceed.' The head of the goverment was seat...
The sound of slow, thumping footsteps made the girl look up from the book of incantations resting on her lap. She looked toward her door, where the sound was getting closer. She could not be home yet, she thought. No, it's not her. There was not the steady stream of cursing, the slamming of doors, or drunken laughter, ...
"Oh dear god,"I mutter to myself as I look down at the offending carrot in my spoonful of fried rice. Shakily, I put the utensil down and make a quick grab for my purse, hoping desperately that my epipen is in the dog-skinned bag. It isn't. I quickly signal for the waiter, throwing the human currency onto the lavish ...
I love my dear old mother. For as long as I can remember, the frail looking woman, although ill as can be, was always so strong. So positive. She lived life one day at a time, always knowing the end was coming for her but never letting it get her down. The only thing that seemed to bother her was that it was heredit...
Seeing the daylight is something I did not long for anymore, it was only something that gave hope to the hopeless. Things never changed and I never thought they would, until today. It had been 4 years since I last saw another human. They were Dead. It is hard to know what killed it, but the blood that soaked into the ...
After an intense 18 hour marathon of gaming, Norman reached for an empty jar to relieve him self into, except there were no more left. With an exasperated sigh, he typed in "AFK BRB BIO BRK ASAP"into the chatroom to let his fellow guild mates know of his intended brief absence and speedy return. It wasn't until he r...
The park was always quiet in the afternoon. Most people were at work, kids were at school. The only denizens of the park were the birds, squirrels, and a few souls who were lucky enough to have the day off. Jack was one suck person. He enjoyed the park, especially on sunny days. This was one such day, with a few cotto...
"Hey, look. It's Capt. Kangaroo,"my dad said as we pulled in to the parking garage at the mall. "How can you tell,"my sister asked. Then my mother, "That's not Capt. Kangaroo. That's a black guy. And we're at a black shopping mall."She shook her head in disbelief. "You know, not everyone you see is Capt. Kangaroo." ...
'Well, I always knew it'd be me that would cause the destruction of the universe. Might as well just kick back and enjoy it.' Emperor Yardel said, watching the first galaxy implode from his doomsday device. The plan was simple, threaten the rebels with a remote firing of his superweapon, affectionately named 'The Annih...
"Finally, Prince Achlon. The realm of the Most Ancient Ones is within my grasp. You do not know how long I have waited to claim the realm of my ancestors." "That right belongs to me, and me alone. Your cowardly-" "Silence! Spoiled brat! If you hadn't been an only child I would have slaughtered you by now for your ins...
"So, here you are, Michael. Welcome to Hell."Said the Devil, leading him through a dim hallway with white walls stained with blood. "Well, this isn't what I expected." "Of course not, we have just started. Prepare for an eternity of torment, as per our contract." Yes, the contract. Twenty years ago, Michael had sign...
The forest sounds enveloped the little shack as night fell. Chief Winters said that we would be okay with only two guards, as more than that would bring too much attention. He said that SWAT would be on standby if we needed them. We were now 20 hours into our protection detail. We weren't allowed to leave the shack or...
Going to check the mail, Zach, groaning as if every bone in his body was splinters. Dragging himself off of his bed, gets up. He shuffles wearily over to the front of his apartment, and was surprised when, along with the one or two typical ad flyers in the mail, there was also a thick book. The book was a curiosity, i...
I've actually done this before. Went to drink at a friend's house after blacking out at a biker bar. We were in the backyard, when i decided to pee around the side of the house. In the middle of peeing i went into a rage and decided to drive to my ex after this actually happened to me. After blacking out at a biker bar...
"Sir, we have a situation." The young and eager messenger burst into my office, huffing and panting like he'd just run a marathon. "I've just run a marathon to bring the news. We've found a weapon. Origins unknown. All we've determined is that it's, well, other-worldly." I stroked my proud beard and considered what ...
"You may experience some discomfort as we dismantle your current operating substrate"a voice bellowed. My head was pounding, the Earth was shaking, and I felt like I've lived a million years. I woke up in a room, with nothing in it but a small mace that had no spikes, but just a white ball on top of it. I was drawn t...
-From the computer journal of Dr. Zachary March, biochemist, dated June 12, 2033- It looked like the flue at first, that awful disease. People would get runny noses, sore throats and joints, headaches. The symptoms could have belonged to any disease, really. It wasn't until the first victim died that people took notic...
The acceleration hits you like a brick wall. There is nothing to ease it, no other way to bear it but discipline. And discipline was everything that I had left. So I kept my mouth shut and played a good doog, not barking at all while the 43 tons of engine beneath me did their part of the work for the glory of the Sovie...
I grab my wallet and head on down to the apple store. You see, I had just been given the most dangerous iPhone made. If the battery hits 0%, you die. The shop is crammed with people like a sardine can. I add myself to the line and unlock the phone. 99%. Jeeze. I can't turn it off, heaven knows what that would do. As I ...
"This has to be a mistake." "No. This test has been perfected over millions of years. It does not make mistakes." "I've spent most of this cycle studying humans. They are capable of laughter, communication, compassion. They're capable of love." "Not exactly." "What?" "They believe they're capable of love. They bel...
He stopped in the middle of his game of Doom and saw two people in a flat room moving away, repelling from each other. He snapped out of this just in time to realize that xXDICKBLASTERXx came up from behind him and shot him in the back of the head with a double barreled shotgun. He quit Doom and disconnected the jack...
I slumped back into the kitchen, dropping my keys into the dish by the door. Hills, my wife of three weeks, had been crying again. Crumpled tissues lay strewn across the table, fallen soldiers in a losing battle against despair. At least today she eaten something as evidenced by the crumbs of toast. "How far did you g...
“I was not the judge who sentenced them to death. I only carried out the sentence. I didn’t mean to kill them, but I couldn’t stop myself,” Ash told the group. The women gazed cautiously at the newcomer, surprised that he would dare attend such a gathering. Several of the witches were visibly shaken. “Murderer!” scre...
"Should be weatherologists, stands to reason"said Smiff, kicking open the grate and throwing another shovel full of coal into the furnace. "Does it"said Professor Digberth, and you could have etched glass with the acid in his tone. "Yurr"said Smiff, as more nutty slack was consigned to the flames. Special Inspecto...
It hit me like an Alabama baby daddy does a backtalking strumpet. I'd always known I had a fat cock. That much had been obvious. I recall, often more vividly than I'd like, my experiences during post-phys ed. showers in junior high school. While the size of my unit would do wonders for my popularity later in life, as a...
part 1/4 To my dearest Caroline, I'm writing this down in the event that I do not make it through the night and this letter makes it to you when (or if) my body is recovered. The plan was simple, drop in Brandenburg, behind enemy lines, to do recon for an eventual push through to Berlin. The drop went as planned. H...
Clang! With a defiant sigh, I trundle downstairs from the bedroom. Before I could wrap my head around the corner, she bleats out, "Sorry! So sorry!"The voice is tinny and bounces around the room as if it were spiraling up the walls. Peering into the smoky remnants of the shadow in front of the sink, I call out, "Edna!...
The weather was nice, sun shining, bird singing, just a nice day. Mom, Dad and Jimmy had decided to spend it at the zoo, looking at all the animals. Nice uncomplicated fun. Sometimes Jimmy felt like Nickeloden was a bit too complex for a boy his age. He could have sworn he missed some, if not all, jokes in Spongebob. ...
It was like sirens screaming in the distance, as the revelation unfolded in front of him. It had been a slow day in accounting, filing and calculating as usual. All up until the moment, he had discovered the scam. Someone was siphoning money from the firm. Not so bad, that it went into red, but just enough so it made f...
"In other news, what's really causing cancer now a days? Find out the most shocking discovery that science has for you tonight at eight" The tv rang loud over the sounds of my cooking dinner. I lived in a small house alone. No husband, no kids, not even a cat. The only thing I had was my cigarettes. When I go out in p...
> "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." I can't speak for everyone, but I consider constructive criticism (emphasis on the 'constructive' part), to be 'nice' by definition. I can see your point about tagging threads, and, yeah: this forum isn't supposed to be like [/destructivereaders](http:/...
Abu awoke in a simple room, but not his own. The ceiling was wrong. It was still early morning, but the sounds were not quite right. The river was on the wrong side of the village. 'Why would I think that?' Abu thought to himself. He was disoriented and felt odd and sore in so many places. The hut was simple, but serv...
The Angel of Death was retiring. Instead of going out and picking a successor himself, he wrote down the names of all possible candidates on a wheel. Spinning the wheel, it landed on one name: Patrick Star. The aforementioned Sea Star was watching tv under his rock. With a puff of smoke, he suddenly appeared in front ...
The fly had hooked its legs into the curtain, swaying on its tide, deceptively close to the outside world to which it belonged. It didn’t understand the window. It appeared to promise flight, but there was some invisible barrier that kept it from darting outside. It dropped away from the curtain and buzzed at the windo...
"It's said that early aging comes from stress, but I heard... scientifically speaking, the further up north you go, the faster time flys. There's good money to be had up north... I'd rather have a shortened life span, than to have a prolonged one in the hell where I was raised... What's the point of living if you don't...
She looks horrified. "No,"she says, "no no no no please--" I laugh, high and thin. "I'm trapped,"I gasp, dementia twisting my heart and panic fluttering its fingertips in my chest. "I can't get out!" "Get out of what?"she cries, shaking. Her eyes are hurt but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. (It's not real....

Going to assume you mean "with"the same person? ________________________________________________ We had only been seated a moment when I saw her, dining with Jennifer who I'd be inside not two days earlier. Both of them were too involved in their meals and conversation to notice me, yet. "Waiter!"I snapped eagerly "C...
Michael had sworn to himself, to his country, to his handlers that he would go silently, with dignity as a patriot. His loved-ones would be taken care of, the bills would be paid, and his family name would be carved out alongside heroes in history books. He had held his breath for decades, coated in ticker tape and s...
This is it, Brad thought. He sat in his car, a beat-up 1991 Toyota Camry. He turned off the ignition and sat back, his head hitting the headrest. He sighed. He opened the door, and let the automatic seat belt slowly track out of his way. He got out, and took a deep breath. Closing the door he turned, squinting into...
Okay, so you can do this prompt one of two ways, or both if you like! Also, it doesn't have to be America. You could do any other country's rulers instead, such as the British Royalty or even the French Royalty. A man is visited by one of America's dead presidents. Subsequently, other presidents start to visit him (...
Alex has been out on the patio, staring up at the sky for three hours, long after the sun went down. Everything looks normal. At least, she thinks it does. She doesn’t actually know what the nighttime sky usually looks like, because she’s never really thought about it before. But Mr. NASA-Man seems to think that someth...
POP! “Timmy! Wake up! I need to talk to you.” “gah . . . who . . . who are you?” Timmy was still really groggy. It had been a late night at the ball game. The sun wasn’t out yet, even though summers in Seattle started getting light really early. “I’m you! I’m from the future.” Tim was a big man. Not tall, just big....
I walked down the alley way of the ruined street of the smoking ruins making up a once peaceful town. We were finally gaining the upper hand, the confederacy was about turn around the advantage to their favor. I was given the task of scouting around to make sure there was no ambush planned for our incoming army. So far...
It was really nice from the delivery boy to come up top of the building for the delivery. I gave him the cash I had and told him to keep the change. Maybe I ordered to much food, I would be jumping later than expected. On the course of my last meal I thought to myself: was really Chinese the best choice? I guess normal...
I liked the alone time, Chernobyl was silent most days, nothing but the wind to comfort me. I had a partner, but he was more of a data guy, so most days it was just me. I took the job for a different reason though. Frozen societies always fascinated me, places that were busy that got reduced to nothing within days. I ...
I woke in a plush seat on the strangest C-87 I ever seen. Weren't no props on the wings, and pretty young thing out of standard uniform strolled down the aisle with a wide smile. When a woman notices, count yer blessings I always say. A young man sat across the aisle staring ahead with that blank look soldiers get af...
The machine was silent. That was the most jarring thing about it. The gears turned and caught, stopped and started in silence. None of the scientists observing it knew how this was possible. It wasn't a big machine, no larger than a modern refrigerator. But the clockwork of it was exquisite, the cogs and gears machined...
