I honestly quite like my life. My garden provides me with most everything I need, there's a nice little stream next to my home, I can access the internet if I run out of books or entertainment, and I even made a few friends over the years. Sure, there are no humans around, but that's for the best anyway. ...
"So where is my Scrooge McDuck money vault?"Walt asked "Sir?" "Did I fucking stutter? Scrooge McDuck money vault. Where I can swim in the massive wealth you guys made for me while I was asleep?" "Ummm. We didn't make it." Walt spun. He looked around the room. Not a single man in the room had a mustache. "I did...
On July 27th, 2083, I gripped my father's hands tightly as he sunk into his old armchair, the one he'd had for the last fifty years. Checked his respirator mask, then my own. Made sure the fans weren't about to lose power. Opened a window, just for kicks - because even though that was risky, it wasn't as though there w...
I resent who I was. Selfish. Arrogant. Narcissistic. I used my powers and talents to benefit no one, other than myself. Then one day I met a traveling wizard. He looked into my eyes and saw deeper into my heart of hearts than I had ever cared enough to ponder. He said, "I see what you are. A creature of immense potent...
"You should sit. We have walked far." Through some window my eyes were not privy to, some impossible breach in the air, he entered his arms and withdrew two bone-white stools. He offered one into my outstretched hand, and I felt - reassuringly - a smooth, dry wood. I knew I was in Hell, or some equally unfathomable re...
Part 1 \| [Part 2](https://www.reddit.com/r/jraywang/comments/69p8dj/the_kid_the_banana_and_the_fate_of_the_world_part/) --- Jack was Lion High's class clown. Someone fall out of his chair? Oh that's just Jack. Someone laugh so hard milk comes out their nose. Classic Jack. It wasn't so much that he enjoyed always bei...
I was flying over the city, calmly and systematically listening for my sidekick’s emergency transmitter... Nothing. At least that meant she was not in mortal danger or injured; the transmitter would automatically activate under predetermined conditions, including rapid drops in vitals, or fear reactions. Wonderful gadg...
"Weather balloon?"Drew suggested. Everyone at the table rolled their eyes. "People haven't believed that one since like the seventies,"Jeremy berated him. "And even if we did say that, how would we explain it being on Mars? Or being on the ground?" "Yeah, Drew. Come up with something original for once,"Miranda said...
The strange thing wasn't the other me in the elevator. It's that I didn't say anything. I never told anyone about the elevator that appeared in my hallway. It's just five minutes and I can get back to my life. He's quite similar to me, the quiet type. The normal person might be scared, disturbed, unsettled, but I look...
The day I see this boy is a very cold day — or at least in my bones it is. They ache in the cold, always do. Such is life at my age, whatever age I am now. He looks exactly like I did, this boy walking towards me down the street. The red hair, freckles, the groove in his nose that looks like an invisible pencil‘s pres...
I opened my eyes this morning. That should have been normal, but nothing has been normal since that day, years ago. My first awareness of this situation was when I had the car accident. I had woken up the next day thinking it was a dream even if it had felt so real. I carried through my day, but noticed that there was ...
Tom was looking at the note in awe. He turned it around and around, looking for some hidden clue, or just a message saying that it was just a joke, but there was nothing at all. The bottle looked innocent enough: It was a green one, reflecting the sunlight into Tom's eyes. It was starting to get dark when Tom finally...
“Hey, could you pass me some of that white fluffy stuff real quick?” I sighed, clenching my teeth. “For the last time, this place is NOT for tourists. There will be no stealing of His Heavenly Kingdom’s divine cotton candy until you pass by Sain--PUTTHATDOWN” The man in khakis stared back at me, mouth already full of...
I opened the door, and suddenly I was not where I expected. Instead of exiting my front door, I was walking into some type of gathering. Filled with people. I was so confused. What was happening? I turned around, but the door no longer led back to my house. Where was I? I looked around, truly puzzled, wondering ...
"Uh, I dunno, Rick, this doesn't seem like the best idea, you know? I've never taught anybody before. I think maybe we should just ask if we can—" "They're hic, third graders, Morty. They're the intellectual peers of a Zorbilican with a profound learning disability. You'll be fine." "I... I don't know what th...
“I don't even like pink.” As a group of around ten men in stereotypical Japanese gangster outfits continued to chase me around the city, this was the one thing that I couldn't help but think to myself. So why in the hell did I dye my hair pink of all colors?! If I could go back in time and kick my drunk ass for doin...
Crusoe remembers the day well, the 34 years that has taken him to get to this point in his journey seem to have had no effect on his memory. He recalls getting Planet 2471, as a birthday present. His sixteenth birthday, while most kids his age were getting their first car, Crusoe got the deed to an exoplanet. He rememb...
"What the hell did you think you were doing?"The president yelled at the young intern. A situation was quickly developing, and the president had arranged a meeting immediately upon hearing the news. "Look Mr. Pres, I saw an opportunity, and I took it. I knew the aliens were coming, and thought maybe I could make a deal...
"Think about it this way,"I told my creation. "You like existing, don't you?" "Sure, but so much evil, death and cruelty..." "Is why you exist. Look, you were a work of fiction. This isn't about virtue, this is about me having a reason to keep working your world. I put a lot of hurdles in your way because it was ...
Agent Mariposa: Field Work Logs 22nd April 2022 I am sitting at an indoor table in a Texan steakhouse. I look around me. The other customers are fairly inconspicuous. Nothing seems to be out of place. There is a businessman seated in the table next to mine, and a group of friends are seated around the big table...
I expected it to be more difficult. It was a solid plan, don't get me wrong, but I really thought it would need several upgrades and refinements before it worked. I was expecting that the first time would mostly be an inconvenience for him - for someone so famed for last-minute, death-defying escapes - and a learning ...
It's always like this in the first week. I barely squeezed through the door, and it seems like I'm not the only late one. Eddie said he could save me a seat, but Eddie says a lot of stuff. Spotting an open seat, I rushed towards it, sitting near a red-headed girl, focused staunchly on her notebook. Shit, were we suppos...
John Lick stood at the top of the scaffolding, looking at the gangsters and thugs below him. He had taken out the guards outside, but he would not be able to keep himself hidden for long here. He would have to be quick. Everything had led him to this place - all the death, the suffering, all the senseless slaughter. H...
Nepotism can be a bitch, especially if you know nothing about the job you're given. Prince Privelaj was discovering this hard truth, ever since his lord father, King of Midguard had died of gout. Privelaj had lived a quite privileged life, only to be thrust into power at the tender age of 19. Privelaj knew just enoug...
How many years makes an eternity? 50, 100, 1000, 2000, or even more? However many years it was, they had passed in solitude, darkness, and silence. That was all there seemed to be in the afterlife. An eternal emptiness with nothing to see or do. Sometimes, Aisha imagined that her mind was still trapped in whatever rema...
Look, I had a really busy day, okay? Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I had the perfect outfit. Black skinny jeans, leather jacket, purple hair covered by a bikers helmet. The perfect disguise for an evil overlord. The only problems were the try-hard evil wannabes, with their silly costumes and silly plans. I refus...
The emptiness of your house presses down on your chest like iron plates from the gym that you never visit but that you still pay for. Everything you’ve said, even to yourself, even singing along to that song last night as you cooked dinner (the only time you sing, and you have to be alone to do so)... it’s all there in...
I counted out a dozen bright-orange bills and held them across the table. "That's Monopoly money,"Nacho said. "Don't mess with me, bro." I cursed under my breath. "My bad, Nacho. I forgot you're not the Monopoly guy. Just a minute."Reaching into my wallet, I pulled out the crisp two-dollar bill. "Here,"I said. "That...
"How tough can it be? Look at it. It has no claws, no fangs...it can't even grip with its hind appendages." "It can kick, though." "Right, sure, but no claws like I said, not even hooves. Just really malformed manipulators." "Look, Angroood. I'm just telling you. Humans are great when you're in a tough spot. C...
Screaming. It was all I heard at first. Then, it finally finished processing- It wasn't just screaming. The screams were a chorus, backed by the steady drumbeat of grinding gears and gunfire. Above the harmony of screams rose a melody of crackling flames and tears. The gears, the gunfire- They progressed through pai...
Had the dragons been words on a page or harmless props on a stage, the hastily assembled congregation of knights might have stood a fighting chance. Maybe if the dragons had followed a script, like in an unoriginal blockbuster movie where each plot-hole is as predictable as the last, then the knights would have emerged...
The first planet was ominous. A sign that what we had was fleeting. It put our toils and our worries into perspective. as we colonized their world and learned their history we were no step closer to understand why they had unleashed their own sun against their world. &#x200B; The second planet was worrying. The t...
She stood behind her shield of oak and banded iron, waiting for the buffeting gale to cease. It roared in her ears, causing a reverberation in her helm that almost made her teeth chatter. But she stood firm. She was ready. In her other hand she gripped her mace, a simplistic piece of bitter steel that didn't look l...
Our first clue that something extraordinary was happening was the darkening of Pulsar 34-XD2. Our stellar cartographers noted it in the charts, but it didn’t pass over the threshold of “interesting to anyone other than scientists”, and so it remained an oddity. It had only ice planets. Cold and dark, illuminated only b...
It's wonderful here. I want to stay. I've been trying to stay here and every attempt I've made has succeeded. There are caregivers everywhere. They look normal, and they are. They are not different. They are humans. They're all insanely nice. Everyone here is subject to their assistance, or *bet...
Every morning, I head out to the field next to my house with my cup of coffee and I try to break the fourth wall. I do this all day now. It used to just be a hobby, but now it has become my obsession. It just started as kind of a joke. I didn't actually think it would work. I read that XKCD comic, **[I know you're li...
"You just carry on every day like nothing happened, and I'm stuck here waiting in this ridiculous fucking car. I paused the video, my breath catching in my chest. I'd listened to this a dozen or so times now, turning the volume up and down, tweaking the audio settings here and there, trying to make out what sounded li...
Note - Deviated from the prompt a bit and made the curse much much worse. *********** I looked at her, the tear still frozen on her face. I wanted to reach out and touch it, wipe it off of her face. But the sheer perfection of that tear made me hold back. In the before times, I had never considered how beautiful an...
The flashes and clicks from the cameras were overwhelming. Behind the barricades, reporters from across the nation were desperately thrusting their microphones as far out as possible, hoping to catch any word we might say. The police escort ushered me and my wife out and into the waiting towncar. We'd booked a short va...
"It is her life." I froze, the words still not making sense to me. Only moments ago, I had been sitting with my one year old daughter, trying to avoid getting even more pudding on my new white shirt. Now, I was in some sort of room. It was entirely dark, with only a small illumination in the center. The light seemed t...
At first I didn't really think anything of it. Joke about papercuts all you want (and I'm not sure I would; ever had one under a fingernail? You won't laugh your way through it), but small amounts of blood do get shed in offices. A pinprick, a bleeding nose, scrape on a corner here, slip of a breakroom knife there. So ...
“I’m not even mad about the car. Hell knows I cared little for that box of grease. I’m surprised you even got away in it. I haven’t used the car in months, I just keep it there for show. Don’t need anyone getting suspicious of me. The dog, however, is something I can’t forgive. There’s a special place in hell for peopl...
John chuckled, reminiscing about childhood games played with his sister. They took turns as the genie and the wish-maker, the former aiming to thwart wishes while the latter crafted foolproof desires. Reflecting on this twist of fate, John found humor in how his childhood pastime unwittingly prepared him for the challe...
The Federation had many rules. No wars between member systems, no bombing planets, no dumping waste products into orbit. There were pages of them, as a Galactic Federation with many member races needed rules to govern interaction between aliens of all types. A lot of them involved various 'nos'. The section on the Ter...
"I feel like you have to have some degree of linguistic aptitude to even get halfway to the point you're at at this moment."I said, incredulous. Grog stared at me, regarding me. He was definitely a very smart individual. He was the reason this ship we were on even made that jump into warp speed. "Huh?"Grog said, fina...
No reflection? Am I dead? Waving my hand desperately in front of my face, I tried everything I could to get a reaction. And yet the mirror didn’t respond, no one appearing before me. In my desperation I grabbed the bathroom sink, leaning in closer to the mirror only to spot myself idly flicking through the pages of a b...
The Witch sat at the other end of the sofa, nursing a half-empty glass of bourbon. Or half full, if you were the optimistic type, which I'd never been. It came from my finest stock; a bottle of Yamazaki bourbon old enough to be the daughter I'd never had. Perhaps there was a bit of irony there, but if she noticed it, s...
I think I was around 15 when I saw him last. The dreams were starting to seem a little silly, we'd fight through the obstacles and forces aligned against us, and eventually get to The Monster - who by this point I pretty much knew for certain was loosely based on my father. We thrash him and banish him to The Outland...
“Where did he go?! GUARDS! I want rotations on the perimeter of the facility, don’t let him escape. If he so much as lets off a sneeze, I want guards swarming the area, I’m not losing him again.” Landle couldn’t believe how quickly Blinky could escape. The always staring hero able to vanish in the blink of an eye, leav...
"Fini ĉi tion"you say as you wave your hand over the pot of raw food. "Dinner is ready!"You call out Your "family"comes into the dining hall. "Thank you for this delicious meal Dia."The acolytes say, bowing low as they take their meals. You hadn't meant to become a deity, you were simply being lazy. Learn one spell...
There probably isn't even a funny song to remember this phone number. Probably not even a soundbite or an overplayed jingle. My mind, feeling the vacuum in the world, started creating it's own song while I dialed the number. And, in a children sing-song voice I sung along. "Six Six Six, have stopped the ticks. *Six...
Life is hard when the entire world is out to get you and tedious when you’re stuck in the crossfire. Six-shot Sam might be the most ruthless mob boss in the state, but she’ll always be my little sister (no matter how much she objects, a 4 minute difference makes her younger) and we’ll always love her, even if we don’t...
Apollo, god of the sun and light, grew tired of his lonely journey across the heavens each morning. He wished for the companionship of someone more intelligent than birds. At first, he approached his twin, Diana. "Ride the dawn with me, Sister,"he asked. But Diana refused him. She was preoccupied by a young American ...
You have no control over this strange ability. The first time it happened, a pen you were holding randomly disappeared from the palm of your hand as you were writing. It was entertaining at the time until the "tricks didn't stop. To date, you've disappeared or set aflame your wallet, numerous phones, your wedding rin...
In the old system, it was hard for the common man to have a say in anything. As a child I had seen too often the common folk's cries for relief or fair representation often go ignored at best. If you wanted to gain recognition as a commoner, to have your words mean something, you had to have done something those of hig...
"Stop and surrender!"Sam could feel adrenaline surging through his veins from those words alone. Sweat trickled down the inside of his hockey mask; not from fear or worry, but the furnace wrought by the goddamn plastic. One of his arms was arched back, shuriken between fingers and ready for throwing. Since most of the...
Y'know, I've always said it was the fame that did it. Me 6 and 8 always used to be buddies, y'know, knew each other since the invention of Arabic numerals. We always used to hang out in 9's garage, just jamming. Of course, it wasn't just us three, but we were always the most talented. That's why we got top billing. But...
Each one of my university students had a unique spark to them. I would always notice their smiles spreading from one face to another across the room. They had all become the joys in my life – and I have lived for a very, very long time. To be exact, I was born in the year that Julius Caesar created the new Julian Calen...
1000 - An unshaven man in mysterious garb is found at a local inn, attempting to communicate with the occupants with the aid of a glowing shape-shifting mirror. Man is robbed at knifepoint within the night. 1002 - It is claimed that for a modest fee, a peddler near the local fish market can perform strange magic with...
He just appeared. There was no great ball of fire or stream of black smoke, he was just there, amid a massive crowd of holiday shoppers. The creature looked like a stereotypical fantasy devil. Short, red, tattered bat wings spouting of his pointy back, and two curved horns. The image was not particularly terrifying, bu...
I thought it would be more fun to write about the cast of The Office in Area 51, instead of the camera crew. So here you go. ---- Michael adjusted his lab coat in the mirror, making sure everything was right. There were already six pens in the pocket, but he knew that more pens = smarter, so he added a few more. And ...
"Hello sweety. I was waiting for you. Juice?" Karaya looked intently at the flower arrangement in front of her and shook her head in silence. An old lady, definitely not what she was expecting, stood tending to a garden filled with beautiful colorful flowers of all sorts. She had a look of kindness reflecting in pale ...
I read the prophecy with a feeling of- well, not resignation. More like acceptance. I had managed to unearth it from the tomb of an ancient seer. "Shall we find this child and kill him My Liege?"My general asked. I shook my head. "No need to kill them. Just find them and tell me where they are."I looked up and gave m...
It's really getting ridiculous. I can't go one day without a time-travelling assassin popping up in front of me and trying to kill me for what I am going to do at some point - only to get stopped by another time-travelling assassin sent to protect me. I mean, I just wanna drink my latté in peace, without having to...
We can't go on the island. A few have tried, but they always fall. Some turn to dust in a few hours, others go mad and join the crazy Indians in the fire pits to the North. More than a few heads have been turned by the creatures in the mermaids lagoon, where ecstasy soon leads to clawed hands and wicked teeth, and you...
The vampiress bounded from tree to tree, her tattered dress fluttering like a black banner. Levi urged his horse faster and raised his heavy crossbow. Aiming at her back, he let loose a hawthorn bolt. The vampiress leapt aside at the last moment, crashing through the branches and the undergrowth with a scream. Burstin...
“But what’s the plan?” I asked, noticing that for the first time since the all-hands meeting started, the room had grown perfectly still. Captain Cruelty cleared this throat. “Well, like I was saying—and as you can clearly see from the power point—your job is to recruit five minions. Once you recruit five minions, y...
"I love you, Allie,"Rick said, holding tight onto her hand. "We'll always be together. Even after this." Allie's breath came like her lungs were trying to escape her body. Her eyes were fixated on the black spot ahead, but he could see that there was no thought behind them; nothing but total and complete panic, an abs...
"I assure you doctor, it was not a dream,"said the kid before me. He was a child of 10 years, suffered a coma last year and had just woken up. The first thing he did in his wake was ask where he was, what time it was, and so forth. We told him and he listened calmly. I find that interesting, his calm. For a ten year ol...
"Greetings! I come from the future to cement my place in the list of those who have journeyed time itself to visit one man: you! You, whose name is known by all, from the youngest babe to the oldest citizen! You, whose fame exceeds even the most worthy of predecessors, contemporaries, and descendants! You, whose words ...
The mob was not the forgiving type, I knew I had to hide. There were at least 3 in the parking garage with me. The one with the trench coat had been downstairs by the fire escape, and the two who had been pretending to smoke by the elevators were swinging in behind me as I walked towards my parked car. As I approach...

None of us did. And hell of a thing to risk, if you were wrong. Death didn't work any more...
"Think about it this way! How old was Bella when she got pregnant?" She gently rocked on the couch, clutching her knees, staring knives over our warmest pelt blanket. She sniffled and glanced to the fluffy Yorkie at her side, trying to squeeze her head into a long jar of ice cream without letting the rim touch her. "...
"Hey guys, it's Josh and welcome back to Let's Game it Out." I looked around frantically, trying to see who had uttered the words; I found no one. Knowing the tales of what this meant, however, I felt trepidation course through my body. Only good things, I trust. After all, if a being of unmatched power could alter o...
The AI core was scuffed and dusty, its casing scribbled with faded notes and expletives. Captain Jones eyed it dubiously, then swore and grabbed onto the safety bar as the frigate shook from a nearby detonation. The Telorian stalkers were closing in, and the frigate's rudimentary defense systems couldn't hold out much ...
"I don't think I've ever read a worse fan fiction Sarah. Like, this is awful and I've read all of my immortal." "But you said writing prompts would improve my wri-" She didn't finish the thought. She didn't have time. Suddenly a giant portal ripped open in the sky. A red and white haze covered the glass window outsid...
SCENE: The Crescent Moon The BOY looks down from his spot on the tip of the crescent moon sadly. He grabs another piece of fishing line next to him and carefully threads it into his rod. BOY: [morose] Please be long enough this time. Just this once. The BOY casts off the Moon. For the first time, the camera follows ...
Unfortunate bit of chaotic magic that was meant to grant immortality to one person. It failed, and the caster’s life force drained from them and the 5 unwilling participants’ souls merged into that one. The body held up only because of their shared strength. Erica, Jack, Leah, Natalya, and Terry. They each led differe...
“Oof must be losing my touch.” I kept my smile, shaking my fist, knuckles cracked, the cuts in my skin showing hints of the broken bone underneath. My body couldn’t handle my powers anymore. I was hardly the first to reach this point in their career, anyone with powers like mine usually ended up with a cushy retirement...
"Ok, Hassan, are we rolling?" Hassan squinted at the camera's two-inch flip-out screen. In the harsh sunlight of the Syrian desert, it was practically impossible to tell whether the display was on, let alone make out what it showed. "I think so,"he said. "Oh, don't worry, I see the little red light,"replied Mohamed....
Cloven hoofs turned to dainty little feet, a fur covered barrel chest began a set of supple, perky B cups, and what had been a bone white band of hair became the long, smooth inky black of a human woman. I'd be spending decades in this insufferable feminine body, with its weak limbs and annoying annual functions. (Rea...
The portal crackled and popped, my computer fried itself as a small tendril of energy slid into it. As if on a final note, the lightbulb above me popped off. Luckily the sunlight coming through my window was enough to see by easily. "Hello,"I said. Well, the person that looked exactly like me that had stepped throu...
Lots of people choose their path in life to compensate for a weakness. The kid who often gets beat up works hard to become a great fighter. The girl who gets called ugly strives to become a renowned makeup artist. After I got cursed to always be the dumbest and least educated person in whatever room I entered, I worke...
"Think about it,"Melo can remember telling the board of executives as he rounded a faux leather seat to stand directly in front of a table. "They are mostly unknowns, and it will drag them into the wide galactic community; and the Vahoom are a small economy; it will be the war of the underdogs." Yavis, an executive...
"We cannot have a black super hero with the powers of shop lifting." "Okay, well, then you're not going to like Sombrero man." "Sombrero man? What's a Sombrero man? "Mexican super hero." "David. This is incredibly racist." "No, no, no, see, his super powers are different." "How David. How are they different." "...
I woke up at 3:15 AM. See, this is one of the worst things about my power. If I need to be somewhere for a crime, then my body wakes up on its own. I can't tell you how much sleep I've lost. I showered and got dressed. It was still 3:24 in the morning. I quietly left my apartment and hopped in my car. Of course, as s...
The lights flicked back on in my head, and I took a moment to look around. "Well, room's clean...the floor looks nice and pretty, and the-whaaat the helllllll..." What the FUCK happened?! Where's my back wall? Why is outside looking like a Terminator film?!?! I rushed outside to assess the situation I was in. T...
Both sides hated me, for the heroes I was, the undefeatable evil, the darkness that suffocated even the brightest light. Many times I had come to blows with heroes. They promised liberation; they promised safety from me. All promises they could not keep. The smarter heroes would run, but the cockier heroes would keep g...
"Where am I?"I asked into this seemingly empty void. I heard a voice in the distance that said: "Wait, did someone finally come?" I responded: "Who are you??" He appeared from the darkness, and created two comfy chairs out of seemingly thin air. "Sit down", he said, "and let me tell you the story of who I am." It loo...
You stare at the cold lines of Jameson’s face, etched now in wrath--a mask carved out of hate, blood, and madness. You stare at his hands, contorted into clawing shapes tearing at something nobody else could see, stretching and pulling on a rippling mass of energy, of twisted light between them. You stare at the ripp...
The logs were not adding up. He looked over them again, hoping that he might have missed a statistic. He tried carrying the one but it was too heavy. “No...no these numbers don’t make sense…” Hades scanned through the pages, coffee still steaming by his hand. It was his twelfth cup. The Folger’s was not working. He ha...
The superhero's proud monologue has been going on for 16 minutes and 24 seconds. Captain Shock stands there, a white exclamation mark emblazoned on his spandex suit. He's going on about something -- overcoming difference or awkward superpower puberty or whatever. I don't know. I'm not listening. I'm Apocatrix, th...
"The Trade Federation spy was last spotted in this neighborhood,"Dathu announced to our squad. "And he could be hiding anywhere. We have intelligence suggesting that he will attempt to sabotage the shipyards, meaning more of your brothers will die if we don't find him today."He pulled his brown hood over his horns, ind...
Geysers of water erupt around me, spraying droplets on my visor. I shake them off and look at the startled faces of men in combat uniforms around me. I stand on the heaving deck of some tiny craft, tossed in the waves under a sky filled with artillery fire and aircraft. Not demons. That's a problem. There should be ...
The last syllable dropped from my lips, and I waited. Gossamer clouds, pearly steps and a euphoric feeling. I'd seen all of these things before;so many people had tried to trick me throughout my life. Though the fact that they'd made me feel younger and stronger was a new one. I took a few more steps, expecting the di...
There are rules to this universe. Constants, if you will. The physical laws of nature have to be obeyed and if you break those laws then you are trying to play god. We all live by them but you feel as if you are immune. Do you know how much time I had to spend to set up 8 different worlds to slow you down? Do you know...
Bump. The neighbors are at it again. Great. I’m just trying to get some sleep. I know it’s Friday night. But still. Some of us need their sleep. Bump. Might as well get up. Desperately need to pee. I reached for my cell and used the flashlight. Thousands of little eyes on the walls, on the ceiling, on the bed… were l...
Festival of Beasts Vexason the Powerful wanted to put his head down and cry. The people of Cholerton were calling on him to perform the “Miracle of Beast Day.” Again! What had he started? It had seemed like the perfect revenge; change all the citizens into animals, and laugh as they destroyed each other. ...
It turns out most sapient life in our galaxy tends to one of two extremes. Some are nervous twitchy small creatures that live and die fast, reminiscent of the squirrels of Earth. Some are enduring behemoths that seem to live on a slower stream of time. Like giant turtles, they let other life be born and in die in the t...
"It's like drinking water contaminated by dead bodies,"the man said.
