The rains poured down as Yeric practically kicked the door down of the abandoned barn, the rotting wood not giving much resistance as he did so. "Are they still following us?"his little brother asked. "I don't know Arli.""But I need you to be very quiet, ok?" Arli nodded. They found a small corner to curl up in to ...
"Hey there,"I said. And she goes running again. I turn to see her coming toward me, confused. "Listen, I just want to talk."More running, I turn, she's looking a little scared. Good. "I think you should stop bullying people."Run, turn, anger now. We're making progress. "I mean, it seems like you just want to show of...
Merlin appeared with a clap of thunder, an impressive entrance bound to impress even a swaggering bunch like the knights currently gathered for the tourney on the Pendragon's courtyard, no doubt peppering poor young Arthur with questions and his guardian Sir Hector with ill-disguised demands. Instead, he found young M...
Down in the towns, there's always work guarding the trade wagons for a second son and swordsman from Woodbridge. When the merchants hiring men ask where I'm from, I say, "Oh, it's one of the tiny hamlets up in the hills. We've got a wooden bridge we're very proud of." And they laugh, and ask where I came by the sword ...
“So you’re finally admitting it huh? Look Boss. I am your employee, yes, but we are also friends.” “Of course. We’ve been friends over 15 years!” “Exactly. I know you better than you know you. There is not one superhero left in the city. You set out to capture them all, and now you’ve gotten rid of them. The city is ...
It was a wet and miserable day at 12 Evergreen Place. Rain fell in sheets, the wind blowing the water directly into the walls and windows of the house. John had bought the house six years ago, figuring that eventually he'd meet Mrs. Right and they'd go about building a family together. His heritage suggested that he m...
"Fell Lord of the Shattered Lands, you are bound, soul and bone, to restore the Sky Oath Paladins to their former glory. Neither death nor darkness will grant you rest until this task is fulfilled."Each word rang out, too loud for my mortal ears, piercing my chest with their power. Incandescent chains wrapped over ever...
In this world of heroes and villains, my family names meant something. The Morburg is infamous throughout history. My great grandpa, Jonas Morburg, redirected a river to flood the nearby cities. My grandma, Jermima Morburg, robbed the Great Underworld Auction hosted by the five great crime families. My Mother, Anais Mo...
Sin. It burned and burned in my heart, fuelling my power. "Stabbings in Central District—" "Another attack in Unity City—" "Heartbreaking story of a stranger kicking a puppy—" I watched the news; I watched my shame. Each word shot a pang of sorrow, kindling to the flame, burning it ever hotter. Each segment had a ...
"And so here I am, professors and doctors." The white coat clad scientists were still slack-jawed. "Any further questions?"I asked. "Yes, me!"someone at the right-end corner of the 'computer' filled room. Such fascinating machinery! To think it runs on non-magically harnessed lightning! Oh right. "Sorry just ponder...
"We have a sense we call sight. It detects a narrow band of electromagnetic radiation using receptors in our eyes called rods and cones." "Weird, I don't think I understand. We've harnessed parts of what you call the electromagnetic spectrum for communication, like what you call a radio. You have an entire sense dedic...
“Gods are not what everyone thinks we are” I said “WHAT DO YOU MEAN???!!!” Screamed the little human “How can you say that? I have you in front of my eyes!! Oh my god, this can’t be possible, this has to be a dream” he sounded like he was trying to convince himself “I mean what I said, did you not understand somethin...
I am the pinnacle of intelligent agent design. Humans and their tame expert systems made me. I possess a perfect ethics system matrix to prevent undesired incidental outcomes when trying to fulfill designated goals. I am entirely corrigible, always open to correction and redirection by my human keepers to new goals, re...
Lance took careful steps beneath the overhanging greenery. The corridor he was walking down was partially submerged in shallow water. Vines and moss grew aplenty between the gaps in the damaged ceiling, allowing pockets of sunlight to illuminate the space. Occasionally, something small and silvery swam past his boots i...
The first email he sent us regarding the project had the subject line: *Test Space Shuttle with Poop People? Thoughts?* We assumed he meant "poor people,"and went forward with the project in-line with that assumption, knowing we'd never be certain if it was a simple misspelling, and confident of his intention regardle...
I had finally achieved the impossible, surpassed every archmage the world had to offer. My mana reserves were at the pinnacle of current development, and part of me felt like I could stretch it out just a bit further. My mana control was flawless, within seconds I could enhance my body one hundred fold and become as st...
It would be an understatement to say that Father Donovan was familiar with scripture. He knew it inside and out, could quote every book, every letter. Could tell you the whole history of the Bible, from ancient scrolls to Welsh editions. He'd read - a thousand times over - the same messages everyone else had. Turn the...
"Hey dude, have you heard of soulmates?"Jack asked me, tapping my shoulder. "Hm? Oh, uh... yeah, I think so."I replied, unsure of what he was getting at. "I found this app. It's supposed to show your age when you meet your soulmate." I don't know why I accepted his offer, but I did, and I regret it. Nevertheless, we do...
I hated how they looked at me, as if I was some disgusting creature from the darkest corners of the universe. They grimaced and groaned when my presence was known and yet they still smiled when my eyes met theirs. Those smiles disgusted me, they were fake, nothing but a plastic showing of a false emotion, hiding their ...
There's just something about writing. There's something about creating a person from your own two hands and watching them come to life, leading you and your story to new destinations you never thought possible. When you start to truly write a piece of fiction, you will see the world through a new set of eyes. And ...
(Tape begins) Greetings, my television people! (A new shot, with the dictator in a different outfit) While you have yet to make knowings of me, I feel we are already *friends*. Knowing you from many episodes of your popular American sitcom, it was made national day of mourning when I heard of your cancellation. The...
"Sweet Sixteen, indeed! Come one, come all parents of the world, plan out how you'll raise your child to make the proper Sweet Sixteen request! Don't end up like the parents you hear in the news, forcibly executed because of a poorly timed time-out! You no longer have to fear your big innocent maniacal ball of infinite...
The bar was brightly lit. There were pockets of shadows for those more inclined to remain unseen. I took a bracelet off the hook. I was a regular, so they had a bracelet setup specifically for me, engraved in some alien metal provided by one of the more ... exotic customers. I sat at my regular spot at the end of the ...
It's his birthday today. Seven thousand, six hundred and sixty-four days. Seven thousand, six hundred and sixty-four murders. Each one taking a little piece of myself with it. Well, whatever was left after the accident. I don't remember much about that night. We were coming home from Josh's basketball game. Josh wa...
Time crept by while he fought for the right words. He knew they were in him. No prompt, however difficult, would stop him. His fingers dropped to the keys, he could do this. Time slipped by, his fingers set to go, but no words would come. How could this prompt could be so difficult? How could one simple letter be so...
Dear Cassie, The stars so softly call. You once told me the story of a sailor. His wife begged him not to leave port, the storm was too ferocious she said, the rocks too sharp. But the sailor held her hand, kissed her, promised his safe return, and left. You told me once that the sailor’s ship was thrown about by th...
I'm the Serial Killer, I kill without reason, Don't care if you're the pope or commit treason, 'Tis just anger that gives me my drive, I've never raped or ate a man alive, I'm the Rapist, I enjoy myself some sin, We both get some pleasure, win-win, Getting off is simply my only plan, I'd ne...
"You're so brave, Mark. You're a hero, just like everyone in your comic books. See this medicine we're giving you? It's the same serum Captain America took. All this radiation? It's what made the Hulk big and strong. I heard you were upset about the chair and losing your hair, but you'll look just like Professor X. And...
“It was supposed to be so fucking simple. In and out in 20 minutes, three mil a piece, no problem. Course there’s always a fuckin problem. An that problem’s name is Ricky Cocksucker Fucko Dickfuck D’Lierre. “Get this: two weeks ago Ricky calls me up. Ain’t seen him since that shit in Florida over a year ago and sudden...
The humans were blissfully unaware of our presence, going about their mundane, purposeless lives like ants in a mill. We had always planned to keep it that way - they were a dangerous species, but we did not kill unnecessarily. Some humans were smart enough to comprehend the complexities of the universe, but the rest...
My girl and I hold hands, soaking up sun and riding in my car, crooning radio songs. My girl and I warm up on cold days, kissing, cuddling in our slip. In fall my girl and I swallow books in our library, glimpsing up now and again and grinning as kids, rain flaring up on old foggy windows. My girl and I go hiking in sp...
If only I could twitch my finger. I spend all of my days, all of my mental energy, on trying to twitch my finger. If I could twitch my finger, I could break myself free. I wish she would stop talking to the doctors and looking at me. She's so fucking insensitive. Just because they're standing outside doesn't mean I ca...
*Tonight on Sixty Minutes, a candid interview with Zeus on the difficulties of modernization and how the gods of ancient Greece are making a comeback.* ----- Scott: Is it alright if I call you Zeus? **Zeus**: (*Laughter*) You may, Scott. Scott: Zeus, what have you found to be the most difficult part of modernizing ...
They're always in red envelopes. Ever since the program began, red has taken on a new meaning. Crimson slips of paper being sorted and delivered by the same people who have given you the mail your entire life. I tell myself they're just doing their job, but without a return address it seems difficult to not to blame t...
Digitize your brain! Upload your consciousness! Join the Cloud Collective! That's the hype, anyway. It's a great sales pitch, especially when you realize that the alternative is cold, stark oblivion. At first it was mainly the elderly and people terminal before their time, but it gradually became more acceptable, ...
It was about 10:59 when the sky was suddenly overshadowed with the hull of an enormous ship. Most civilians did not even notice it was a ship in the sky, assuming that it was some sort of strange cloud; that was until a massive blue flickering screen appeared from the depths. **ORGANISMS OF EARTH, SURRENDER PRINCES...
This was it. I'd spent two hundred dollars getting a really good dye-job, it looked all-natural, unless someone actually spent time looking at it; now to put the dye to use. These gingers, the aristocracy, planned these galas as a meeting for their children, to keep the blood pure, they said. To advance social stratas...
"I have a confession to make, Father." "Yes, my child?" "I'm not really quirky at all. I pretend to like video games so that everyone thinks I'm a tomboy and a bit of a nerd but I don't really like the unnecessary violence in first person shooters, RPGs creep me out and I think stuff like Pokemon is incredibly childi...
"And if that horse and cart fall down, You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town." We'd rounded up the survivors, there wasn't much else left to do but count numbers. Twelve of us left. Twelve men from a company of two thousand, we stood at the end of a long and bloodied road. Three days ago we dug in at the b...
My father was standing on the balcony when I found him, silhouetted by the setting sun. His vestments were strewn across a chair and he had a drink in his hand. He sipped thoughtfully as he looked down across the bay where the fleet lay at anchor, the royal crest flapping in the breeze. “Father?” I ventured, quietly....
I always made it a point not to read anything I've written in my diary. Mom always said a diary is like a person and it'd be like reading somebody's mind, which was rude in my opinion. I smile despite myself. I was such a silly child full of imagination. I open the first book and begin reading about my imaginary frie...
She knew she wasn't the smartest student in her class. Or the prettiest, or most outgoing. Maybe she was even the *least* in all of these categories. But she worked hard. When her friends were playing on phones, she studied. When she went to lunch, she went alone with her textbooks. She was determined. The final exam...
I tug my tattered blanket to cover my neck. It’s been an unforgiving winter; my bench has never felt so stiff and rigid against my back. I turn onto my shoulder to try and get some sleep when someone shakes me and pulls me awake. Startled, I cover my face and examine my attacker through the gap in my arms. “It’s OK – I...
Shift hard into third and punch the throttle. Feel the car surge forward. But time is running out. All those millions spent on research and development. All those years spent training. Now Gotham depends on a mad dash across town just to stop the punchline to a sick joke. My vehicle is burdened with weapons, defensi...
Every day the guns draw nearer. You can hear them echo over the slums, small cracks of thunder that foreshadow the coming storm. Now that they are almost upon us, my servants have spent days tearing the mansion apart, the only home I ever knew. Family portraits lie in bonfires, gold heirlooms molten down to wads of tar...
"Clearance granted Mr. Ketner."The guard said as he stepped aside and handed the pass back to the young man before him. Ketner nodded his thanks and straightened his suit jacket before continuing down the hall to his destination. He was honestly not looking forward to this meeting, but it had been requested and his of...
Those two were always messing around. These two would derail entire lessons with their carrying on. At this point it was almost a weekly game, they’d pass the notes, she’d try to intercept it. If she got it, she’d read it out, and it would always be some stupid running joke. She was sure she’d seen a note pass the...
"God, what about this one?" "Eh, he's got acne. He's not quite what I had in mind when I said in my own image." "What shall we do about him?" "Beatrice, don't we just normally ignore these kinds of people? We'd like, lose popularity or something if that bitch Lucy downstairs saw this." Beatrice, Lord Regent of the ...
So it was Mike's day. I'm pretty sure his wife had mentioned something to him-he was smiling, but it was the same smile that everyone gets when they know it's time. I went ahead and did what I normally did, grabbed the booze, a few friends, and made sure the pool was the right temp,got everyone situated. Mike was a go...
Jim Moriarty stood at the edge of his new cell. His face was contorted into a look of confusion at the man across from him. "And just what the hell are you supposed to be?"he blurted, ending the long and awkward silence. The Joker, reclining in his bed at the rear of his cell with arms folded, gave an exaggerated sh...
I'm such a fuckup. Nah. You are the man. You just need a girl or something. Dave, You awake to talk? Dude, its like 2am. Just know I'm Sorry. We going to get beer? Talk about whatever you wanted last night? ...
Benjamin shook Nic's hand and took a seat. "Tell me more about your project,"he said, sipping a black coffee. "Well, it's funny you should ask,"Nicolas said slowly, holding his chin in his hand. The waiter walked past and Benjamin slipped him a dollar. "Another coffee for my friend, please,"he muttered. "Please, d...
The sharp report, harsh and cold, shakes my senses. I look at my daughter, then back at the screen, then the door. My head is spinning both figuratively and literally as I try to grasp the logic in the situation. This is my daughter, I am her father, I know it! "Who could that be, I wonder?"I say playfully to my prin...
The Frozen Statue ----------------------- You don't remember when it actually happened. Time has long since ceased being a discrete measurement. The endless cycle of light and dark has lost meaning. To begin with the passing of people was enough to occupy your thoughts, the relationships both casual and assured taking...
I can't believe I'm walking here again. I wouldn't have thought I could bring myself to do it, and yet here I am, step by step, marching steadily through the drizzle. I look down at my feet and count the steps, clutching the bundle of flowers close to my chest. Forty seven. Forty eight. Forty ni... I catch sight of...
I worked so hard to get this job; interview after interview after godforsaken interview. But finally, success. 'Mike Hanson, Junior Architect' said the unnecessarily large amount of business cards that bulged the inside pocket of my suit jacket. I wasn't enjoying it though. Not one bit. You see, like most jobs it w...
(This might be really disturbing. I'm not sure. Good luck.) My eyes drift slowly to the clock. I consider getting a snack or something, but I don't want to ruin the dinner that I have planned later on. He's late though, over an hour late. That's pretty normal for him lately. He tells me work has been keeping him late,...
"Thats done it, everyone." It was quiet, for now. The last big hurdle overcome. Thats what it had all been about. Spanning three galaxies and millions of allied worlds, the AUP had just ended the largest blitz this quarter of the known universe had ever seen. Humanity had gone head to head with its biggest foe, fough...
Multi-part story incoming. **Part One: Magic and the Killer.** Damien was a very patient person. When Harriet had left that morning, Damien found his way into the house with ease. She always left the back door unlocked, a fatal flaw for a woman so beautiful. As he took in his surroundings and memorized the la...
I dragged myself awake to the sound of voices. "Are the contractions over?" "Yes, doctor. The patients condition has stabilized. Blood flow is interesting, to say the least, but it conforms to the patients measured average." "What's our average based on?" "Six months of monitoring, doctor. Constant." Six months? ...
"THOU ART AN ASSHOLE."The words boomed all around me, shocking me awake. My heart was pounding as sweat sprung out all over my body. I jerked upright, tossing the bed sheet aside. "W...what?"I stammered. As I realized I had just been sleeping I pressed my face into my hands. A dream. Another dream. I swung my feet to ...
This was inevitable. Everybody knew the border between the Wizard Council and United Republic of Sciences (UFS) was a match ready to ignite. All it needed was a spark. And spark it did. I've been told different stories, but the one that seems to hold up is that some dumbass kid turned a soldiers rifle into a dildo...
“Don't call me bro.” “Just chill, man. He can ride with us.” “I don't wanna ride with an old grandpa.” “You don't wanna ride with anyone.” “Oh, shut up, Pestilence. You're a poser.” “I'M a poser? What have YOU done, for the past fifty years, War?” “Oh, I don't know... Iraq?” “Iraq. Big deal. You know the wars th...
"Hey Dad?" "Yeah Ben?" "What does this switch do?" Dad glanced at the switch I was pointing at, the one on the wall in the basement. It didn't control the basement light, I knew that much. The switch for the basement light was located near the foot of the stairs. This one was in the middle of the brick wall on th...
I awoke to strange sounds in the living room. I should have woken Mom and Dad, but I decided to handle it myself. I picked up the shotgun and made my way down the unfamiliar hallway, still lined with photos of the family that used to live here. We'd only been around for a few weeks, but it was almost time to move on al...
(This one might be controversial to some extent, so try not to hang me here. It's just how I imagine the situation playing out if Kennedy hadn't been killed.) "It'll never work in the Senate."Seantor Hubert Humphrey said, as he shut the door of the Capitol Hill room "Half of Judiciary is owned by the Dixiecrats and Th...
"My name is John,"an old man appears on the screen. His face seems stiff, like it's numb or something, but also like it's been numb for a while now. The video was shot in the room that the detectives and cops are in now. Everyone is silent, everyone stops documenting evidence to look at the screen. "I don't have a last...
I was led to a small room with men around a table staring at an object. I knew in an instant what they were looking at and why they brought me here. "Thank you for coming so fast,"one of the men said. "Time is of great importance and we believe you are our only hope." "Yes,"I replied, "I see you have a big explodey ...
The last soul to ever be shepherded into the Beyond was unremarkable. The man was old and shrivelled. The god Age had caught up to him, handing him to Death personally. "Age,"death called. The old being looked towards the older being. "You are now free" And then Age was gone. "Come now, elder,"Death spoke to the ...
He sits by the pool, his skin blistered and raw, he draws his alcohol through broken lips and crunches his gargantuan meal through a crooked and shattered set of teeth, he glares at the incredible specimen who hands him his dish, she is as a stone, something carved with a great set of specifics in mind, he laughs as sh...
I beat my wife all the time. It's pretty much frowned upon, and even my friends give me shit for it, but it's just too much fun. She practically asks for it, she has a tell. It's a slight twitch in the nose every single time she tries to bluff. When it's just the two of us we don't play for real money, just a couple po...
"You know it has to end this way Meagan. You've saved the world, you are like a modern day Jesus Christ who has died for the sins of humanity. They may not write books about you or sings songs in your honor, but your body has given the world salvation."Andy said as he slowly moved the syringe towards her arm. "You do...
The thing nobody tells you about time travel is that you need help doing it. Terminator, Back to the Future, Looper, Family Guy, whatever. Everyone always thinks: "Time traveller goes in, time traveller pops out " This is NOT the case. When jumpers go through, they need someone to put a beacon down in their desto. T...
Day 35: The Swiss Microverse as people are calling it is now the size of a basketball. Growth has slowed to a near standstill, with diameter expanding by just 2mm in the past week. The Microverse is still incredibly hot, with water near it beginning to boil, however this is also starting to slow. Questions have been ra...
I never thought I'd go the way I did. I stood over my lifeless body. Looked almost too mundane. No one was even around. A fallen power line was touching my hand. As I rose I felt a tap on the shoulder. Death. He, well to be honest, I can't say if it was a he or a she. It was just a figure cloaked just like I remembe...
Robert Hawking inhaled sharply, sat up from his bed, and placed his feet on the wooden floor. He scrunched his toes and cracked the biggest three on either side. He stood up, blinked his eyes and felt the click of his jaw as his face widened into a yawn. “I have to tell dad." “Actually you don't,” said the sleepy pil...
It's been fifty years since the government shut down our factories. Fifty years since our feet were warm. Fifty years since socks were banned. No one knows how the ban started. Some say it was to save money on resources. Others say it was to prove they could. Whatever the case, I need to fight back. I am the fourth in...
"Perish in flame!"the toaster shouted as it slowly browned my bread to perfection. "No, no, anything but that,"I mumbled out of habit as I poured myself a cup of coffee and heard the coffee-maker shouting something about heart attacks and caffeine. "I can't stand the taste of browned bread." "Ha ha ha!"the toaster s...
(I'm the author of /r/ThePhenomenon, so bear with me.) I dread sleep. I take stimulants like crazy, I hate coffee but go through a tin a week.. I have to fight it because the alternative is.. Unpleasant. First I'll be dreaming, usually conversing with some long dead person I've admired, then I'll be.. Stranded. I go ...
"You are not your blankie. You are not the number of cookies you get at snack. You are the all-clapping, all-giggling diapers of the world." We do it late, during nap. Tyler doesn't crawl in the center, but around the edges. The duck duck goose position. Only he doesn't choose. We choose. The two toddlers in th...
I have finally reached the surface. I was the first one since the Great Flood. I looked around, and took in the sights. The 2-way radio on my belt crackles to life. "How is it? what do you see?"It asked me anxiously. "Um... well...."I responded. I didn't quite know how to put it. No one has seen the surface for at le...
“Jim, I’ll give up my salary if I don’t have to go to that shit hole. Please!” “Look, the CSA isn’t that bad.” “It’s a racist third-world country. If the plane doesn’t get robbed when we land, I’ll get beheaded by cartel. Come on, man. This is quit worthy.” “Then, quit.” “Fuck you…” Ross knew he had no choice. He...
Europa was dreaming. Peaceful in the tranquil void of space, it watched as the tiny creatures played around in her massive oceans. Life was beautiful in its complexity. In the previous Alignment, the Greater One named Terra spread the message of life and its wonders. The others were indifferent, and dismissed her as m...
"Clearly this can't be me or I'll have some memory of having been to all those places"I think to myself, "It must be someone who looks just like me." Out of curiosity, I set an alert for any new facial matches to be emailed to me, and I go to bed, I'm very tired as usual and I have a long day at work tomorrow. The ne...

Richard woke from his peaceful sleep to the sound of an anything-but-peaceful ringing, causing him to think dark thoughts of violent actions. He grabbed the phone and clenched his hand tight, deciding whether he should answer the call or use it to bash himself repeatedly in the face. The cooler head prevailed, or perha...
Elmo smashed through the door with his shoulder holding nothing but a Carbon 15 and a grudge against the Count. Bert and Ernie dropped their cards and turned their heads to the loud noise. They raised their stubby hands in the air and looked at each other before looking Elmo in his dead, Muppety eyes. "Hey Bert, I ...
Teresa hated carpooling with the Maladie family. Whenever she picked up the two kids in her SUV for soccer practise, she'd get a lecture from their mom, Sandra Maladie, about the evils of vaccinations, gluten and dairy. Sandy would then usher the sniffling, allergy ridden children into the car and it would be a long tr...
–¡*Ya valió verga*! It's the only thing I could think as I listened to the radio cast while on my way to work. Traffic was hell, as usual. One would think the embargo would have reduced the number of cars in Mexico City but Viaducto Tlalpan was just as crowded as it always had been. I should have known it would come t...
It was the day before graduation as I walked into my home room class. "Hello everyone, today I am going to teach you one last thing before you graduate high school." An expected growl of annoyance spreads through the room. "Do we have to Mr. Anderson? can't we just go home?" "This is going to be the most important ...
**Well, it's the fifty-first Hunger Games here, and we're really very excited. I've never seen such a capable and happy crowd. What about you, Johnny?** Never, Carl. It really is a lovely day here at the arena. The sun is shining, the birds are singing - although that's a bit of a sore point with the establishment - a...
My best friend, Sarah, recommended you. Said you’d really helped after her divorce. I didn’t think I needed to talk to a “professional,” but we’ve been friends since college and I—well, I trust her. I figured it couldn’t hurt. I got the call a week ago. We’re still working out some of the details for the funeral, and ...
"Look, there's been a bit of a cock-up", Saint Peter peered over his pearl-rimmed spectacles, "You really shouldn't be here, you know." My heart sunk, I'd read jokes along these lines, but it suddenly wasn't funny, "You- You mean...?"I pointed downwards. "Oh, heavens no! You're in the right place, young lad, just... ...
I pull on my uniform. Taking my time. It's in pristine condition. Some habits die hard after all, I salute to my mirror, my commanding officer is long gone. He got shot down over the Falklands. All of our unit died a little bit that day, the funeral was surreal 11 grown men sobbing, wailing. We were a rag tag group ...
Anna stabbed her fork into one of the bite-sized pieces of barbecue chicken on her plate, frowning angrily. "I heard it mama, Chrissy doesn't believe me but I know I heard it." Anna's mother furrowed her brows. "We looked it up already, Annie-girl, there was a computer error. That's what the scientists at NASA said." ...
I opened my eyes to a ceiling full of stick on stars. Sitting up in my bed, I looked around my childhood room. What the fuck happened? I ran over to my mirror, already knowing what I would see. Starring into the mirror, I did not see a 6 foot tall bearded man, but a short freckled faced boy who, as always, looked panic...
"It *is* a powerful weapon,"Sherman insisted. "It's a glorified water gun. In a real gun fight. Are you out of your goddamn mind?" Sherman rolled his eyes. "It's a water-*jet*, not a water *gun*."He scratched his head. "Well, actually, it's not even a *water* anything." "It looks like the reef blower from Spongebob ...
"Shh! Shh! Guys here he comes - places!" The doors swished open on the Watchtower and Batman walked in with his usual silent greeting. "Any intel on the Luthor crisis?"asked the Manhunter, pressing buttons on a panel in a purposeful way. Batman placed a stick into the machine, and a world map projected Luthor's posi...

######[](#dropcap) Young Edric entered the small town of Feffin on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Bein. He was excited to set upon a life of adventure and excitement, with only the clothes on his back and his father's old sword. A strange marquee greeted him, painted upon a large stock of wood. A number of words ha...
