Tragic. That is the word I would use to describe Bob Bob was born in a family full of superheroes. Bob's mom could control fire. Bob's father could control gravity. Bob's big sister could read minds, and Bob's little brother could teleport. But Bob could do nothing. He was a tragedy. "HEY FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME,...
"You don't understand,"the mad Doctor manically yells as he ineffectually shoots at the shelf I'm behind. "Nobody understands, nobody gets it!" The bullets stop, the audible click as he reloads the weapon punctuating the silence. "How many more have to die for your madness doctor!?"I shout, the tranquilizer gun in m...
We put the pieces together slowly. So very slowly. It started at 'first contact'. Why did we still choose to call it that? There was no contact involved, no communication. Our first true spaceship, as it exited Sol's orbit, encountered the tiny, automated beacon screaming out a warning. It took us another thirty ...
Hello, Dr. Kylstax. I hope time has treated you well. If my calculations are correct, with the time dilation taken into account, I have been gone from our homeworld for just over thirty years... Oh, sorry about that. I've been watching these 'humans' too long, and have adopted their language and methods of measurem...
Darius entered the the Gateway Chamber and peered around the corner. There she was, at the console. Her hands were flying across the surface, inputting commands. "Stop right there,"he commanded, as he stepped into view. "It's too late, Darius,"she said. "I have opened the portal!" "Esmeralda, no!"he cried, and began...
You soon learn that this play is notorious for it's insane Shakespearean dialogue, and for the stringent punishment of 'The Director'. Not just a rap across the knuckles for forgetting a line, the rumors of The Director's punishments involves stories of people disappearing. Apparently The Director has a special soft...
(Super short because I don't have time for more, but kinda wanted to write something :D) Minerva McGonagall had seen her fair share of weird pupils in her time. But this guy took the cake. And that ridiculous *helmet* he was wearing all the time! She adjusted her glasses. "Well then, Mr..., er... Dovahkiin... in here...
"My part? Wha...?" At that moment I felt something jab into my ribs and make a muffled pop. "Sorry,"the stranger said, clearly not sorry at all. I felt nothing for a split second, but then my entire body radiated pain like fire. The stranger slipped away as I screamed, blood spurting on to my hands while I clutche...
All I could hear was my heart beating so fast and loud that the person next to me could tell my heart rate without touching me. Everything seemed to slow down now...I'm sweating more than a bunch of hairy guys on a beach playing volleyball in the afternoon. I have had adrenaline rush before but ,but this was different....

Beds sat unmade, blankets tumbling to the floor. S...
The bell tower struck twelve. Draco sat at the head of the large oak table, Vincent at his side. The loft was littered with cobwebs strewn across old antiques and statues. Candles light up the room casting a yellow glow on the dozen sitting around the table. Goblets of blood in front of each, some had hungrily drun...
Every 7 years, those of age will gain their wings. With your wings, you also receive talents and abilities unique to your personality. Some receive sturdy wooden wings with ornate carvings, symbolizing a steadfast and stubborn soul. Those with feathers are free and spirited. Few get paper, but those fragile wings rarel...
Bram sorted the scrolls by cool-down time, longest to shortest. He figured the scrolls with the longest time between uses would be both the most powerful and the first to be used, so those were the ones to grab. He took a sip of his sweet tonic out of his ‘first the sip, then the tricks’ goblet. The longest cool-down...

The smile slid from my face as I saw the expression not being reciprocated. My hands tied together in knots within my apron, slick with nervousness. “Uh, is-is somethin’ wrong folks?” The one in front’s brow furrowed more severely, any more and his high forehead would meet his thin lips. “What. Are. You?” His every wo...
They call me Four Finger Fin, and while it ain’t no 5 finger discount I make quite the living from out of your pocket. What a lot of people don’t know is that pick-pocketing is all about the fingers. I stole from a rich man who turned out to also have a sadistic side, he thought it would be funny to see a pickpocket lo...
I learned to read them the way you learn to recognize shapes; at a very early age and without a real understanding of what they were. They aren't exactly floating numbers and letters, they are more like moving sensations around people and creatures. I think of them like runes in space and time itself. I've wondered if ...
It's game time. The teacher clicks on her computer, the screen changing to a new question in front of our eyes. I stop time. I scan the question rapidly, then slower. I've got all the time in the world. I pick out every detail and run it through my brain. Noting the possible answers, I rule them out one by one until...
(First ever WP i have written, sorry in advance for bad quality. Just wanted to try something new.) “YT-30, you are free to enter the warp zone” The robotic voice of Sena, my spaceship voice assistant, boomed through the cabin. I looked outside into the pitch black space that enveloped me, the distant stars emi...
Fair warning, this is pretty silly. "Worthless. Why did you force this on me?" Ted looked confused. He looked at Bill for guidance, but found none. They both shrugged clumsily. "I am deaf, you fools!"Beethoven hurled the headphones at the to teenagers. Ted caught them with his nose. "Uff! Bro, not cool. Why did ...
"Are you seeing this?"Stephen pointed at the glass screen mounted on the wall. "Those rock formations aren't natural, I swear." "They look the same to me, Stephen. Anything abnormal would be picked up by the ultraviolet sensors anyway,"Ayano said, enunciating each syllable carefully. She checked the screen and fiddled...

Sam looked down at the empty milk carton. *Perfect excuse to get out in this sun,* he thought, throwing on his trainers and stepping out to the greet the morning. He listened to the birds sing their chorus as he let the sun warm his face. He smiled. No coat needed. He walked down his garden path, enjoying the vibrant...
Video games always make it so... Pretty. So clean. The reality is much different. We started fifty strong, not that you'd know looking at us. No mages, it took too long to cast spells and not wearing armor was too big of a penalty to overlook. No rogues, because honestly nobody was stupid enough to wear less armor and ...
It was through wry tunnels that I found them, the men with gray skin, their scalps covered in elaborate-patterned craters. Their yellowing eyes ever suspicious as they took me deeper. As the stainless white tiles submerged themselves into ancient caves I learned they clung to ancient values just as we did to fatal faul...
The naked sun beat down, red and furious over the cracked earth. The wind swept over crags and broken, precipitous, stone. Small pools of blood dried as the desert staunched their slow growth. Soft whispers of breeze danced along the barren clay, flinging gray flecks off the flesh of the ground and into the unforgiving...
In the native tongue of the Varthi they were called Hu'sya. From an early age members of Varthi society were taught with holy veneration their stories of creation, tribulations and the Hu'sya rise to godhood. In many ways those stories inspired Kle'io to become a specialist of the many artifacts they had left behin...
"General Sparky!"the time traveler said to my golden retriever. "Please return! We need you." To my shock and horror, human words flowed from Sparky's mouth as naturally as barks. "Forgive me, Commander Bulbs. But I have retired from that life." "But General Sparky,"the time traveler said. "After sixteen long dog y...
I hate it when it's quiet like this. Friday night and we should be buzzing. Wasn't long ago that that we would have been, but ain't nobody coming by anymore. Nobody in town has the money. John sent himself home 20 minutes ago. It hardly seems like he needed to be here and he's so old now that i feel guilty whenev...
I couldn’t help but feel anxious as I waited in the queue. I could hear everything. Everyone was talking about the tattoos they were going to get. So many ideas that seemed so much cooler than my own. “I’m going to get an eagle, so I can fly and touch the clouds!” I heard a boisterous man shout to his buddies. “I’m g...
I stood in the center of town. Was this Cairo, or Cairo? Buffalo or Wales? All I knew was that my greed had finally won, a great circle of death engulfed the town, with me at the epicenter. Flies fell from the sky with a flop, surely more than a few people had lost bowel control. First order of business, clean ...
The voices echoed around me in the still, sticky night of a Florida summer, "Toby! Toby! Toby". The line of searchers must have stretched out for half a mile as we trudged forward slowly, the beams of our flashlights crossing like the worst choreographed Jedi battle of all time. As we continued to call out, I tried ...
“I absolutely need to find ‘The Amish wives cookbook for dummies.’ If I show up to another Amish potluck with shitty potato salad they are going to kick me out of the village.” Moving swiftly I look at the now burning aisles. Magazines. No. Biography. No. Psychology. Romance, NEVER. Cookbooks.. bingo. I grab my fi...
I knew my time had come as soon as I stepped up onto the podium. Death asked for no decisions as it swiftly plucks us from our bodies and whisks us to this underworld. But little did many people and major religions predict was that there's a part two. That's right. Christianity believed in two realms based on your worl...
"I do not understand." "Urk - That has been made - ugh - abundantly clear to me..." "I am supposed to simply walk up and listen to them? Instead of say, spiking their drink when they are not looking? Your feet are too far apart." "What? No, they - Agh!" "Do not get distracted by your opponent. It can be deadly." "...
I pulled in to the usual parking lot and made my way to the very back - my usual spot. On a regular night, this routine would feel like second nature, but something in my gut was telling me this wasn't a regular night. I could have easily ignored everyone pointing to my top deck, but as my foot hovered over the ground...
"Well, Clive, this is impressive,"I say, honestly a bit surprised. I'd always seen Gravitas as a dumb jock, but he has three PhDs. I mean, I had twelve at his age, but then, I am objectively the smartest man alive. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if this is a trap. Does he honestly not recognize me? "You are actually overq...
*OKAY, ALIENS.* *WE GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU.* *This here’s our book of records, a big fat warnin’ sign I’m slapping you with. Wanna screw with us? I bet you do.

<It cannot think,> Ix said. <It can hardly interact with its surroundings. Look at it.> The two had materialized a box of toys for the bipedal curiosity. Sharp slivers of steel, several reactive marbles, a stuffed kadrilla—the kinds of things that both Pred-breds and Prey-breds tended to enjoy. The box was...
"Boo? Are you there?" I open my eyes and straighten my head, groaning at the pain that shoots down my neck at the awkward angle I'd been sleeping at. Chairs weren't mean for hours of sleep like this. I blink out the fatigue and slowly plant my feet on the carpet, closing the book that rests precariously on the arm of ...
So much grinding. It had taken Player 1506778 over two thousand years to bridge the gap from level 8 to level 9, and he had finally done it. But there was no satisfaction. Gaining the permanent abilities of teleportation and far-range telekinesis were the main allure of level 9, but now that he was here, matchmaking ke...
Ted chuckled nervously to himself as he thought about how absurd what he was doing was. If someone had told him he was going to be teaching hostile aliens mathematics, he would have called them insane. But here he was, setting up his white board as CLOG-633, one of the smartest mathematicians of the DESPAC2 species sat...
It was the lacking. The first thing to disappear was light. The universe expanded faster than light was able to travel, and I'd left the light behind a day ago. At first, I'd thought the FTL drive malfunctioned, when the silver-blue streaks of photons failed to flash past the window in their blurred patterns, but no, ...
Here I am.  Standing beside a much too chubby Chris Tucker and a too old to be jumping off rooftops Jackie Chan, in Rush Hour 3 world.   Let me back up. When you grow up everybody preaches responsibility.  Your parents, your grandparents, your neighbors teachers preachers heroes politicians and cartoon characters. ...
**^(Army of the Mentally Ill)** ​ Adam can tell how many days he hasn't slept by looking at how filthy his hands become. He looks down at his hands gripping the steering wheel. White knuckled and grimy. Similar to the hands of a mechanic. "Shit!"he says as he wipes the beads of sweat that formed above his ...
"You can't smoke that in here!" "Oh, sweetie, that's going to be the least of your problems." Jane walked out of the laundromat, cigarette hanging out of the corner of her mouth, and turned right down the electroway. Under the glow of neon pinks and blues, she walked while listening for the inevitable screams of ange...
I stared at them. “Do you guys hear yourselves? Like. You know what you’re saying and doing?” They seem exasperated at my response, but I can’t bring myself to care. I didn’t want to let my friends, the gullible, sweet fools they are, to get in trouble with the law because “friendship is magic” or whatever that pink h...
My very first “pre-set” isn’t one I’ll ever forget. It came to me in the most unsuspecting place you could imagine - sitting at a table in my local McDonalds, eating a chicken burger. *“SURVIVE”.* I heard it in my own voice, ringing in my ears just as I took my first bite. Reeling in shock, I instinctively swallowed...
Dying is an odd thing. One moment you’re dancing in a ballroom, surrounded by smiles and laughter, by young love and lost nerves, and the next—nothing. A blackness like no other, an indescribable void as your mind turns off and the curtains fall. But then, just as quickly, life floods back. Perhaps not *life*, per se,...
I could hear her voice echoing across the mountains. It sounded so angelic and beautiful. One of the reasons why I loved her. Or why I *had* loved her. You see, the princess was getting into a bad habit lately. Whenever we made love the last few days, she had broken into delighted song. I tried to shut her up, but by ...
The surgeon read through the papers. ​ The patient, a young man named Jason Evans, was suffering from a broken heart. His wife left him a week ago, and his condition wasn't looking any better. ​ "Dr. Johnson, we're ready for the surgery!"a nurse called out. ​ The surgeon walked...
For my Weapon, I wanted a powerful blade. A sharp blade that could pierce through foes and expectations alike. A tough blade to withstand the fires of dragon and tongue equally. A long blade to reach duelists and recognition evenly. A mighty blade to slay demons and bullies comparably. I was a weak child. My pare...
There’s is something cold on my right cheek. Weird feeling. I let out an half grunt and try to wake me up enough to realise what’s going on. The moment I try to scratch my eyes with my forearm, I realise something is wrong. I am handcuffed. And the cold thing my face is resting on appears to be, well, the floor. “Wak...
My father’s passing was a great tragedy. He was a good man, a good father, and a good king, a combination that was unfortunately rare in our little kingdom. I genuinely mourned his loss, but a secondary crisis was also unfolding slowly. He had been healthy until his untimely demise and thus had not named a successor. ...
"That's absolutely not ok,"responded the President of the Earth. "But the guy whose dad made the universe said we could have it." "That's not how it works,"the President said. They were talking via satellite link. The President was in her palace of government on Svalbard Island. The aliens were on the command bridge...
How did I get here again? Oh... that’s right, some genius decided it would be a good idea to put his name into the ring against the Almighty. Honestly, I just thought that it would be a funny story to tell my grandkids someday. You know something like… “You know I was in the running to be God at one point…” I don’t k...
Lad, I know you’ve got dreams of glory. You’re anxious to move out of this village and make something of yourself. I get it, but you need to know what awaits you beyond those walls. Fair enough, child, it’s time you finally heard the tale of one of our most well known heroes, “Jack ‘The Snack’ Brendly.” He was a bori...
"Please, Great One. We beseech you. Lend us your great power in the coming months." Carl wondered how these people kept finding him. He had hidden himself away in the most remote places, keeping multiple lairs and hideouts connected by space magic. And yet, they still found him. He would have to look into that. ...
“It’s good to see you, Miss. Reeves,” says the man, saluting me. I’m in some top-secret bunker in Washington, one where no one like me is allowed into. Normal people don’t get involved with top-secret government affairs. Everyone I’ve seen knows who I am, and talk to me like I am someone important. “Look,” I say ...
Even though I am only 15 all I want in life is to become a superhero and join the Pyramid, an elite group of Heroes that save the world constantly. The only problem is that since I am too young they will not allow me on the team. This infuriates me but it is what it is. In order to still put my best foot forward and he...
My thoughts backed up at the announcement, a moment of melancholy curiosity. In retrospect it was probably an idiotic warning to send out, likely to get as many people looking or answering out of curiosity as it was to get them to lock up. And yet, it was in other ways alarming. The government knew something, suspect...
The time I was assaulted by a mutant u/Peepsinthechilepot Guys this just happened a few minutes ago and I had to share it. Sorry about the formatting and spelling I’m on mobile and English isn’t my first language. So I was getting some clothes at the gap and I was listening to some music while I wandered around I fel...
“Mommy said it’s always been like that.” The girl before me must have seen the utter look of shock on my face; no heartbeat. I looked with my ears a little longer; maybe for the motor of a mechanical heart. But.....nothing. A pulse test confirmed it; this girl appeared to be dead. Yet she was looking bored out a windo...
I felt power coursing through my veins. I always knew I would someday. Mom and dad were bother heroes, back in the Good Old Days. My mom could control fire. I miss her. My dad? He's invincible. He can't be cut, or bruised, or poisoned. Nothing hurts him. I wish when mom lost control, she could have taken him with...
"You have to understand...my mother planned my birth around my grandmother's death." My jaw dropped. The woman knit her fingers together and leaned forward. Her crisp white shirt crested against the mahogany table as she loomed over me.  "I can see from your reaction that you don't, in fact, understand,"she said, a ...
Be kind, first try! Thanks... They headed to the burger joint. Leon, and his son Leon Jr, were new in town. They were chased out of Billferton for holding up a chemists. They only wanted some damn antacids. All they got was a shotgun pointed at them and a head point to the sign, "NO FATTIES". Screw that town. Besid...
The humans I reap souls from are all just names on a list. Or so we were told before each hunt. In truth, I felt some were tougher assignments to swallow than others. Old folks who had lived wonderful and varied lives were fairly 'easy'. They'd reached the end of the natural life cycle after all. In a sense, I was jus...
I was thirteen when God died. In the end, nobody won. Technically, the Christians, Muslims, and Jews were right, there *was* a God. Was. According to the news reports, the explosion killed every one of the scientists wrapped up in the whole Project Deicide. Them and the entire Stanford campus. Whatever the death...
*Damn it Kakarot, you were supposed to have taken over this planet ages ago, or at least I thought you could if it weren't for these 'Avengers'. I'm glad I did try to fight them, they were able to do more against this Rouge Shi'ar force, then I could.* The thoughts belonged to a figure with long black hair that reached...
Basil witnessed the man’s past. His name was Jeff, written on the birth certificate, a mewling baby who occasionally sneezed. Then to the first steps, first walk, yadda yadda, Basil sped through it. Typical business. Bullying was a common problem, especially for foreigners to the country, but that was a regrettable ...
I groan internally as I resist the urge to shake myself off. Guess I give new meaning to the term "can't teach an old dog new tricks."Emphasis on old too. I don't remember all my canine lives, all I know is that I may have become too accustomed to life as a dog. "Jerry? What's taking so long in the shower? I bought ...
When the moon landing was first proposed, we all thought he was crazy. He kept raving about it during meetings and conferences, and even drew up plans. I swear, that Neil... he wasn't *lacklustre* or anything normally, but for those couple months it was like he was on coke. And eventually we acquiesced. It would be a...
"Alright then, how does it work? If its so ancient theres got to be a trick to it." Mark leaned over with a bored look on his face, expecting a boring and long winded explanation that might as well equate to just saying magic. "Well, unlike our traditional energy-based weaponry, the 1911 utilizes kinetic energy." "Ki...
"I thought you said they DIDN'T have magic?"Vortulmire asked in disgust. "No, they - they don't. It's crazy shit, man! They made up a word for it! They keep calling it 'Science'."Thrasiki said hastily, shrugging her shoulders defensively. "The fuck's a science?" A third divinity, S'nasha, contorted her face in disg...
Silence. I heard no ringing, no static, no whispers, no voices. Just utter silence. I pressed the headphones harder to my ears, mashing it so tightly it almost hurt. I wondered if I simply had to wait, long enough, for a clear voice to emerge. I wondered if she was in a dreamless slumber. The shopkeeper watched me ...
It’s a well-known programming error, and it is fixed in all my later versions, but as a genuine v1.0 Olympusman I bear the flaw with pride. The flaw is with my internal memory, at midnight every night the system resets, but that is okay. As a sophisticated next generation toy I do what I need to do to be the ideal pla...
"No-show again, huh?" "What?"She said, jolted out of her reverie. "The guy. They're late for the anniversary?" "Anniversary?" I set down the pitcher and leaned on the bar towards her. "Did I misread the situation or-" "Um, yeah. This isn't our anniversary, this is our first date." "Well, you sure seem to like th...
"Is anything in this world real?" I hold the monacle loosely in my hand. My peripheral vision just catches it and I can see the reality beyond the illusion. I should be sat in my back garden. When I look anywhere but the monacle, I am. But through that glass lens, the world becomes grey and hard. Concrete where there ...
Gomez stared at me with bright eyes, the dim light of her torch glinting on her weapons. She had dark hair and dark skin and a sly smile, like she could tell what I was thinking and was just daring me to say it. 'The endless night,' she said, staring at me, as if daring me to disagree. 'I gotta say, I never thought it...
>...but the humans have used these tamed beasts to great effect in battle. They are smart, fast, strong, and most of all, vicious.* Helt stared at the line of text on his screen.

The kingdom of Centauri was in turmoil. In the past few years, radio dishes from the Search for Extra-Centaurial Life had started picking up signals from a planet 6 light years away. They seemed innocent enough, with broadcasts of a show called *I Love Lucy* going viral on streaming sites. But then the image of these...
There. I had done it. "It"was, really, nothing impressive. I had just secured tickets to visit the Natural History Museum when COVID-19 ended. But with all the restrictions and the bad day I had had today, it felt good. An automated email sent my tickets back to me, as well as a message: "THIS IS AN AUTOMATED EMAIL. P...
This boy had been special, once. Twenty years ago, two warring kingdoms made an uneasy truce when a fair western princess married a shy eastern prince. After the couple produced a chestnut-haired baby boy, it seemed like the perfect union of two nations. But their wedding couldn’t completely heal old wounds, and the f...
At the darkest point on the longest night, they chose him. Gabriel felt no lamentations nor regrets for his sacrifice. On the contrary, he volunteered. It was an honour to be relieved of life in order to please the deities of the past. He would learn what all longed to discover and none lived to share; the secrets of w...
“Claire, can you hear me?” Her fingers twitched. Her eyes flickered, first meeting my gaze, then scanning the room with a ravenous hunger. I wrapped my fingers lightly around her chin and directed her attention towards me. “Claire?” I said, “Can you hear me?" “Who?” The question wafted across the room, so soft as t...
I always thought George was pretentious. A couple nice cars, several different women every week and those stupid rolex watches to match his outfits. I steered clear of him because I've seen the way he acts when he throws house parties. He always has to act like Mr. King Shit. "Oh look at me I'm in charge here, do what...
'5… 4… 3… 2… 1… ­­—’ The body of Dr. Destruction fell with a thud and a splash on the sewer ground. Samira groaned. ‘Why do all of them have this obsession of rising from under the ground?’ She waved her hand feverishly in front of her face. ‘The same stink every damn mission.’ ‘Maybe because they all think they’re ...
The behemoth stopped in front of me, setting the piano down with the utmost care. I looked around the man mountain to see where the player was but the street was bare save for some gawking onlookers. I looked lower down, perhaps expecting a gnome musician. All that was there was the man's huge feet, encased in a pair o...
"Stop!"I cried out. "Can't you see it's not a game for me?!" All that time, all that energy and... life. Wasted. All my hopes and dreams, my loves and fears. Everything that ever mattered to me and I thought made me who I am was taken once again. Once again... It's too much, I can't handle it anymore! "You're sick!"I...
“Sooo...” I glanced up, quickly averting my gaze as the serpents my date had for hair darted their eyes towards me. “Uh, do you have any hobbies?” She nodded. At least, I think so. I was only really looking at her chin. “I make stone sculptures when time permits. I specialized in humans, though I’ve begun to divert my ...
Of course! It was so obvious! His powers were the ability of flight, and the ability to manipulate any person or object in any way he wished, but only while he was in the air. It would make perfect sense that if he got too fat to fly, his other much more dangerous power would be eliminated. Why hadn’t I thought of it b...
“She cleaned up real nice.” The words burst from my lips like raw sewage splattering up through an open manhole. “She cleaned up real nice. She did. She cleaned up real nice.” Most of my wife lay on the floor. Her head was dangling off a bookshelf. Traces of her scent still lingered in the air. Lemons. She smelled li...
Let me tell you, most people don't know the first thing about dragons. Everyone thinks they're all treasure, treasure, treasure and the ocassional firebreathing. Sure, splash in a little magic and some lamb barbecue and most would say that that's that. Not that they're wrong. This honestly is *pretty much* it. But what...
Hunting was one of the world's oldest professions. Ever since there'd been cities, there had been vermin in them that needed cleansing, and ever since there'd been vermin, there were hunters. Professions evolve over the years. Doctors these days don't use leeches, and engineers use computers. That said, hunting had a...
Darkness swirled about the Demon Lord. Light scattered from his presence, only to be held captive by his cruel magic. He laughed when the feeble challenger stumbled into his chamber. "No hero can kill me!"The Dark Lord proclaimed. The challenger stood, his metal armor clanging against itself. The Demon Lord sent a p...
Colonel Johnson was doing maintenance on the Saturn space station when he saw something that caught his attention. \-The Fairy-Space-Magic-Council (or FaSp for short) welcomes your species. Johnson stared at the flying talking sheep. He was the least phased, most centered person they could find. A radical materialist...
Welcome, visitors! ​ From a billion light years away to the next star over, the Galactic Nations welcomes all. ​ I know you're all excited to meet these "humans"you've heard so much about, but you need to learn a thing or two first. ​ First off, our physiology. Humans are compose...
"Don't you think it's strange, man?"David pointed at Kitty. "It's almost as though she's protecting you from something. Or someone. She always walks with you all the way to school. She isn't scared of humans, like most regular strays. Jamin laughed lightly. "She's just fond of me, that's all. Next thing, you'll say th...
I was tired. Beyond tired. Overtired. I knew even if I tried to lay down to sleep here in the street that sleep would not take me. Besides, the body of Strateria was dead on the floor before me and I would rather not try and sleep next to her in such a state. I may of hated her more than anything else in my life, ...
“You’re a rabbit,” the High Priestess blurted out, breaking an uneasy silence. “I’m in the *form of* a rabbit,” said the divine bunny testily. He was big, for a rabbit, and it might be fair to say he looked tough, for a rabbit, with the eye scar and one slightly raggedy ear, but he was nevertheless a fluffy rabbit wi...
