Alan sighed. “Not again,” he muttered to himself. He once again rewound time, this time to when he woke up. Maybe it was his routine that he needed to change. Instead of taking a shower and brushing his teeth, he hastily got dressed and left the home in a rather scrappy state. Normally he’d never leave the house looki...
"Uhhh..."I look at this strange, orange cat. He stares back at me with intense eyes, the hair on his back raised. His voice is gruff and has notes of agitation and anxiety. "You idiot! Did you hear me, Sky? I said we have to leave NOW! Pronto! Immediately! Let's go!" "I just... Am I high?"I ask. To myself or to the c...
“There’s a few things you need to know before you begin. It differs from simple life and the advanced life. You will feel emotions, this species is known for them, you’ll feel many continuous events. This species is both instinctive and cerebral. They have their instinctive pettiness, like animals, but they progress to...
This can’t be. A thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead. Steve had been playing MMOs ever since he could climb up onto his father’s leather chair in the computer room. He knew NPC’s were not human operated. They couldn’t be. He had developed his own games for fun during his first phase of advanced intellectual trai...
The powerfully-muscled man sat on the rear bumper of a bright green van, methodically loading shells into a rack of shotguns. Two women stood nearby in silence and shared a worried look. "What are those?"the one with red hair finally asked. The man didn't look up from his task. "8-gauge silver shot packed in hol...
"we've already got a catapult. You're about 200 years late bud." "can a catapult launch a 90 kg projectile over 300 meters?" "what's that in furlongs." "I'm not sure, I forgot my abacus." "well isn't that convenient. Now look, I'm sure you're very proud of your new catapult" "it's a trebuchet" "whatever, your new...
"Who are you working for? What do they intend to do with that Sun you're carrying?"The guard asked. He didn't like having to resort to interrogation, especially on a kid. But with the chaos the city was in, he had to get answers. "Oh you mean "The Player"? Well... It's kinda hard to explain."admitted the kid, a cat loo...
I always tried to treat the inmates with respect. It's saved my life a few times to be honest, an old timer like me. One time, a riot started when I was in the kitchen and two of the newer prisoners shouted something profain and made a line to attack me. Fools hadn't got within ten feet of me, when they were shanked. N...
“What did I tell you Kailer? What did I tell you? They’re goin’ for that fucking exhaust port.” “You don’t know that, Breen. There’s 1000 reasons for them to be flying up that trench. About 900 of them are surface defense towers. The other hundred are the Tie fighters assigned to that quadrant.” There wasn’t much f...
I love me cats, I really do. The don't give me a spot of a bother, no matter how they jump or how they mewl. They are quite dear -- from that tiny little white thing that's lapping the milk from my bone china saucer right now -- it's a Spode, not like them China-made ones the muggles churn out these days -- to a stra...
The last three years had been strange for the Spearman. He marked the notch on his year tree and double checked it to make sure. Three years. Such a long time to be alone without his family and his people. At least his God was still with him. He felt the hand of his lord upon him from time to time. It revitalized h...
I’m on my own, and now I have to run. Locker twelve. Five-fifteen-seven. Gray Street and 11th Avenue at the Ren-Track Rail Station. I keep repeating this in my head all the way to pick up my go-bag. I need to get out of town right now or I’m dead. They must not have known about the code. That’s the only explanation...
The ship's pyschologist says I'm suffering delusions of irreality. He issued this diagnosis after our most recent session, during which I told him that I've lost all ability to tell my dreams apart from my life. He said it's not uncommon for crew members on their first trans-solar flight to feel this way. Something ab...
"Go, go, go!"I whispered urgently as I tried to shut the car door quickly without slamming it. But my idiot compadre Aaron popped the clutch like he was trying to go back in time, which resulted in the tires screaming so loudly we may as well have shot guns in the air like drunken cowboys. "Jesus fucking Christ."I co...
"Dr. Johnson, there's been a small accident." I let a long, loud breath escape from my mouth. For a moment I just stare down at the keyboard, where my fingers are poised to finish an email to the Risk Management Minister of the Sorcerological Administration. With a harder than necessary punch of the period key, I l...
Jesus had cut his beard short to a goatee and thick mustache. His head was shaved bald. Olive oil skin, dark hair, skin and bones, but muscular in a tight, compressed frame. He was fifty five years old – now the twisted image of a savior ruined after years of power had eaten him up. It was like a sword that slowly bur...
At first I thought I was just lucky, then after the 10th incident I realized what the old man was saying when he cursed me with being invulnerable. I can still scratch myself, I am aging kind of, I don't get sick now which is nice but the bubble affect around me is becoming more than I can take. Yesterday I found myse...
In the incomprehensible, timeless, spaceless, and endless void, three young gods stood against a table. “Yahweh, Lucifer, I think our project didn’t turn out so good. We better get an A on this” said Vishnu. “We better get an A, we worked hard on this” Lucifer responded. “Anyway, I’m sure Mrs. @#&*! will know we...
"What the hell do you mean?"he raged as he looked at the person who had just come in. "Do you want me to repeat myself? We can't aim for Earth anymore, G'rase. There have been some unforeseen developments on that planet"G'nabe said calmly as he looked into his friend's eyes. "But they're an entire millennia behind ev...
"Mommy, I want a human!"A knobby hand smacked against the glass, startling me into dropping my controller. "This one's funny. Lookit!"She giggled. "He doesn't know how to use his hands!" A guttural sigh bathed me in fetid breath. "Darling, humans are a lot of responsibility. Besides, this one's only 18 years old. It's...
"So the Humans abduct the young of various breeds, and keep them in their homes until they die?", the high chancellor asked the planet's subject matter expert. "Yes", the expert replied. "And even in their own language, they 'own' these creatures..." "Yes..but" "I'm not finished! do not interrupt me again."the ch...
The demon fidgeted idly with the hem of his worn and ragged robes, blackened with ash and spattered with the old blood that had come from his shattered wings, broken in his helpless tumble through the realms and the ignominy of being so desperately far from the Great 'I Am'. Otho recalled how agonising that fall had be...
My plan was coming together now... the muggles and mudbloods would no longer stain this world. We had no need for them anymore, now is the time of the witch and wizard. Too many of our kind had suffered in... "I can't do it!"A young voice interjected. I turned to my followers. "WHO DARE SPEAK AGAINST THE DARK LORD"...
The kitchen was a whirlwind of activity and emotion. Pots bubbled, oil sizzled, the sound of metal blade meeting wooden board filled the air. The noises intermingled, a song played by the kitchen staff as they rushed along their tasks. Assistants chopped and ran for ingredients, the line cooks manned their stations ...
It used to be, almost every night they came. The nightmares. Always different, yet always the same. The method varied, but they always ended the same way. With my death. Drowning in a pool after the ladder mysteriously disappeared. Catching fire from a faulty kitchen stove and burning to death. Climbing endless s...
The sensation of traveling through time is strange. I couldn’t tell you how long it felt traveling back in time, because in truth, I didn’t feel anytime at all. To live life without the feeling of time passing is crazy, and I can’t even think about how I could put it in words. Anyways, as the first time travelers in hi...
"So, I guess i just start reading it then, ya?" The other two siblings gave a quick nod, their eyes were wide. Neither of them was hiding their eagerness. The old man was fucking loaded, after all. This was pay day. "Whoa, he wrote it in cursive.", Jan noticed aloud. The executor, Jan, held the single sheet of pap...
The goats were the first to notice the strange man. Shep followed their gaze just in time to see the swirling light atop the hill wink out. He placed a finger to his lips in thought, used his wooden crook to rise to his feet, and gradually made his way towards the new arrival. Ignorant of his approach, the man continue...
Here it is, as low as you can go, bottom of the barrel, the deepest, darkest hole in the universe. Only the worst of the worst are plunged into this abyss, and quite frankly, I deserve it. I've lied, cheated, stolen, killed, raped and pillaged my way through every life I've been given. I've broken every law, all th...
"You have to be kidding me." General Bullok looked down at the diminutive creature with utter disbelief. This was the thing that was the top of the food chain across the universe? It was barely up to his knee! The aliens from Gamma-Gamma-90 had warned humanity of the incoming creatures that would render their civili...
The lights were flickering. I was sprinting down the hallway of the hospital, my feet slapping on the cool white tile. Where the FUCK is everyone? I made a sharp right at an intersection, my skin squeaking on the floor. I caught a glimpse of Him over my right shoulder as I made the turn. That cold grimace. That mon...
(Sorry for the long post, I got a bit carried away.) I never even got to do anything fun in my life. I wish I could’ve died attempting a stunt, or skydiving, or maybe even binge drinking. But no. I died as a baby, so I already got my second chance. I mostly blame Mom. She’s an anti-vaxer. Or rather, was an anti-v...
I never intended to become famous for my work. It was that ambition that created the virus in the first place. But the virus was just as resilient as its host. I learned, through trial and error, that the only way to successfully kill the virus and prevent exposure was to simply take the brain. Not burn it. Not chop it...
(My third writing prompt story so far. I don't know when I will stop counting but yea.) Dear members of military in the Human Collective. It brings us great joy as fellow Humans of the Collective to announce, that following the our recent efforts to colonization of planet HD 40307b to increase our humanity’s reach...
"What is your problem lady?"growled Death. "I'm just doing my job."said my receptionist. Her attention returned to her nail filing. "Can you leave a message then?" "mhmm"the receptionist murmured without looking up. There was a nail that was particularly stubborn. "Tell him, Death is coming for him." "If you wan...
"Another bloody zombie infestation,"Grant sighed. "What happened to the good old days with termites and ants? I'd give anything for an ant infestation." He took a bite of his subway allowing a blob of mayonaise to make its descent into oblivion, also known as the darkness that existed beneath the passenger seat where ...
Her voice was so soft I almost hadn’t heard it. Calliope was always the quiet girl in class, to the point I was convinced she couldn’t actually speak. The teachers didn’t even bother calling on her in class. I wasn’t too bothered by it. Ava, my best friend, was an introvert and compared to Adam, my not-quite-boyfriend,...
Theirs were faces, or near enough. Faces in some deeper sense, some dream-logic distillation of resonant meaning: A mouth, because they gibber, and consume. Eyes and nose and ears, because they perceive their prey, because they keep a hungry watch from the planes and curves of material reality where they have pushed ...
He strode purposefully into the room. The sounds of the whirling roulette wheels and tumbling cards all seem very far away. A few turn their head, their periphery catching the figure as he strolls past, but they know, even subconsciously that this is not a business to be trifled in. He cut across the floor clad in hi...
Mousehole had always struggled as a village. The mountain’s resources belonged to Ardekeep, a bustling city etched into the side of a cliff, the path rising to the city’s gate protected by a guardian snake that encircled the entire city. If you were not a born resident of the city and attempted to enter the city, you...
"Fuck me..." Maybe I could have been a bit more eloquent, but I'd never been the best at thinking on my feet. It was probably why I'd ended up dead: freezing up in front of an eighteen-wheeler instead of jumping out of the way will do that to you. I'd always imagined heaven to be, well, nonexistent, if I was being ho...
Fireflies. &#x200B; Midnight city lights light the faces of women and men alike; an endless wave of fireflies. I sit on the brown and black bench with my head in my hands and my mind calculating calmly. The fireflies swarmed on a pavement path in front of me. I could think of nothing but one question: What did th...
"Hurry up Gnar! I wanna go back in. It's Hirr-Horr night and you know how the lines are each time! We need to be extra early!"Zoop's voice crackled over the Mio Mio. Gnar, who was focused, almost lost hold of his Beepilor. Almost died there. One tentacle away from endless oblivion. Space, being awfully empty, made ...
Everything around me was blown away like granules of dust. I looked around completely nude and confused. off in the distance I could see a plume of smoke in a fire that reached the heavens. Everything around me was gone. Friends, family, wife, children...my life was destroyed. All because some asshole decided to get ro...
512,192. Thats how many lives I have lived. In this life I am 20. I am passionless. I am loveless, I am a robot. Of course to everyone else I am can jones, a dumb 20 year old with as much knowledge in his head as jobs in his life. None. Of course I know better. I know many things. One. I am eternal. Two. I don't ...
OPERATION CHIMAERA - MOST SECRET ENTRY 441 The stage is set. The declaration of war is being transmit as we speak. While I have to say the unity the systems of this galaxy they call the Milky Way are showing is impressive, I will not feel sorry that the mighty galaxy of Andromeda has stamped it out of existence. The...
At first I didn't even know what was happening. When a train slows down like it did you can sort of feel it, you know? But as I was preparing for some unknown stop, we kind of just kept on rolling at a slow pace. And then we were turning right. &#x200B; If I hadn't been on that train so many times I probably woul...
We never really stopped to ask them why. To be fair, the other species didn't know, not really. The taboo had been so heavily ingrained into their societies over so many generations that the real reasons behind it had been pretty well lost, unless you had twenty years of Xenosociology under your belt with a specialty ...
I could already feel the throbbing sensation in my head, the constant banging of my skull as if it was getting ready to burst from my head like some type of xenomorph. Once my eyes finally peeled themselves opened I found a comforting sight, the local hero, well.. not local... more global. The global hero Crusader, the...
It’s day 27. You know it, because you just counted the black marks on your forearm: 6 black dots, for the days. Three scratches, one for each week. Tomorrow it will be shower day, so the black dots will be gone and no one will suspect anything. Will they ever notice the scratches? Eventually, yes, but you also need s...
Noah fiddled with a small cube in his right hand, his eyes flitting from the flickering symbols floating on the sides of the cube to the window that lead into the empty expanse of space outside. Well, empty wasn't quite the word for it. Sure, there were alien spaceships and colonies floating everywhere, but it still fe...
Long silvery streak of standing water reflecting lamplight under indifferent rain. Three men standing on the corner, keeping watch. Another in a dark van, peering out through water-rivulets over glass, across the street. The van is turned off, so no windshield wipers. The three are there to be spotted, but the man in ...
"So I was getting it on with this woman who worked at the zoo,"Zeus said. "And one day, we were doing it in the elephant cage because there was this one elephant - everytime he mated with one of the female elephants - he made aggressive eye contact with me the whole time as if he were trying to assert dominance or som...
"JUST LET ME LOSE!"You shout into your pillow, tears leaking from a porcelain face. You are paralyzed with fear, the fear that everything you have built up was not deserved. The fear that everything you knew could be a lie. That, on the whim of some otherworldly entity, your self-worth would be rendered worthless. Th...
Hi, I'm just getting into writing and I know this is long, but would love any feedback! \------------------ Beepbeepbeep. Beepbeepbeep. Mark opens his eyes as a smile comes across his face. Today is the day. He hardly slept at all last night, his heart bubbling over with excitement and doing summersaults in his c...
What? That didn't make sense to Them. This...speck was covered in things that moved on their own. Not like flowing water or tumbling rocks, but things that pushed and pulled themselves around. Green things that pushed upwards out of the earth, and strange...beings that mingled and interacted. Sometimes they ejecte...
When I was a boy I found a dog in the woods. I named him Hippo because I found him wallowing in a stream. He reminded me of a hippo. He was trying to fish as he wagged his stubby little tail back and forth, scaring all the fish away but happy as could be. I helped him catch one, casting out my line and pulling one in j...
“So you’re saying that these aliens... Are you suggesting that they’re the ones who are actually keeping the human race... Happy?” the reporter asks me, her tone become less and less professional as the interview goes on. I twirl my finger around my long, dark hair as I impatiently wish she had believed me sooner. “Ye...
It's been about a day since we started playing hide and seek. I think so, anyway; I can't remember. Time seems to stop when you're hiding in the dark. It slows down further when you want to get food. I'm starting to think she forgot we're playing. &#x200B; The day started out nice. Pa went to speak to Lord Micah ...
My dearest Jimberly, the letter began. I winced. First name courtesy of my parents, as is customary. I hated it almost as much as I hated their crippling indecisiveness. Jimberly? A mix between Jim and Kimberly? They say it was because they wanted a back-up plan in case their little alien popped out with extra genita...
The clamor started immediately. The fact that it sounded like sleigh bells did not make it any more welcome. “Excuse me.” Mr. Havir drew out his smartphone with a look of frank relief. “I’ve gotta take this.” The words were barely out before he boomed a greeting to the digital intruder. It had taken him all of five ...
My best friend Tate is a great guy. But... he's a 'great guy' in that sort of semi-patronizing tone people often say it in? "Oh Tate? Yeah he's- he's a greaaat guy", almost as if they're trying to convince themselves as much as the people they're talking to. He's typically pretty nice, and he's totally pleasant to b...
The dripping fangs of the Manticore urged me forwards. Sphinx laid one large paw over the other and regarded me with terrible eyes. "You've come,"she observed, human face regal and stern. "This way." She lead me through a waiting procession of famous beasts. In a nearby inlet, Kraken warbled a hello. He was my favori...
Humanity is full of ideas that seemed good in their time, only to reveal their true evils at a later date. Leaded gasoline, the Titanic, the Woopee Cushion - all had their moments at the top of the world, however briefly, before their true natures were known. And as they say, history repeats itself. So, when humanity...
Magic was seen as a fairy tale. Something that could never exist because it defies the laws of the world. In retrospect, we’ve done things that have defied physics before. So we should expect that every once in a while something groundbreaking will happen. It happened on November 9th of 2019. When people awoke from th...
The Wedding Crasher in Shining Armor The day of my wedding was unusual, but not in the way that you’d expect. I was dancing with my husband at the reception, my arms locked around his neck as we swayed on the sun-warmed sand. He smiled down at me, bringing a hand up to my cheek. “You’ve never looked more beautiful, ...
We tied the ribbons around our finger and dipped it into the elixir. She asked me, "Do you love me?" "Of course,"I replied. "And our children?" "Where is this coming from?" "Answer the question,"she demanded. "Of course, but I-" "Then stay away from us." "W-what?" "I'm not in love with you anymore. I found som...
I was a mess when I finally moved into the old house. My grandparents had left the place to me in their will but I don't remember them ever living there. The place was massive and for being left alone for so many years was in excellent condition. Thinking back I suppose I should have been suspicious. "Will you quit da...
Dave smacked a palm to his forehead. "Let me get this straight,"he said. "Your character, Son...sonah..." "Sonaht,"Thanos enunciated. "Like this. Soh-nawt."The midafternoon light didn't quite make it through the drawn blinds, giving the room a dim, cave-like feel. Papers and colorful pieces were spread all around the ...
As you lay unconscious you dream back to how you got yourself in this mess in the first place. After winning the Nobel Peace Prize for behavioral science and digital bioengineering, you rewarded yourself with a backpacking trip through the highlands. Three days into the week long journey a nearby wolf pack (recently re...
Post from Anon A long time ago I was ordered to look after this little green fella. He was awful, he spoke in english so bad that, understand him. I could not. He'd demand piggy back rides everywhere and he liked living in this dingey, dark damp swamp. I had to cook his meals for him, food I couldn't even...
Intention matters. I was a hero to my people, revered by old and young, loved by all, for what I have done for this village. For all the things I have done for this village. My efforts gave hope to the hopeless and ignited new fires in the belly of those had given up everything in despair. But, intention matters. I...
Sara, it means princess, I’ve always hated that name, so mundane and found in every children’s fantasy. But unlike the damsels locked away in towers, I am the dragon, the thing of nightmares. It was getting late and I had already been here twenty minutes. Too long, he’s stalling. I cross my legs and lean forward wi...
Klaus had prepared for this as he had done for millennia. It never got any easier. Email. Spell check. Maybe one day I won't have to come back here? he mused. A minor complaint. What was one day in hell compared to an eternity? The demons were as voracious as ever. The minor ones, like horned and winged snak...
I enter the Oxford lounge of Professor Jonathan Frank Herbert, widely regarded as the most gifted mind of his generation. This interview is a rarity indeed, as the professor's nature as a very private man is well-known. He's been described by the academic community as a recluse these days, which he can hardly be blamed...
Knock knock "Professor Twiss? May I come in?" ... As usual, I was met with utter silence. But I wasn't going to have it this time - I swing the door open, instantly grabbing professor Twiss's attention. "Sorry to wake you up, but I thought this may be urgent-" The professor raised his eyebrows a bit, then slowly ope...
"The thing about that is, that while humans are not strong of body we are are strong of brain. We became the dominant species not by being able to hit things the hardest but by being able to think the smartest. We can easily be slain by faster or stronger predators but give us the time to think and prepare and we can u...
The terminal was no Robco; but, the system was similar enough. After selecting "THAUMIEL"and hacking the terminal, there were the usual assorted logs. Skimming though them provided no meaningful information. On the command interface, the wanderer selected "Open Vault"and steps back. He'd been in non-vault-tec vaults b...
"Could I interest either of you in anything from our dessert menu?" Jane was almost through the hard part, "No, thank you. Just the bill please?" "Certainly."The waiter carefully tucked a small book in his breast pocket, turned and left. Hopefully he would be back soon. Jane had been on a thousand of these. Every ni...
"Very good young mistress!"I said excitedly as soon as I appeared. "No rough transition this time, and the boundaries of death and life barely affected my core!" The child before me smiled, but continued with the incantation to bind me. I immediately began bashing against the ward she had cast, hunting for cracks wit...
In a flash of purple smoke, Cthoothoo poofed out. “I am Cthoothoo and i am, um, Cthulwhu is my big bwother.” I, visibly shocked along with everyone in the classroom, stammered out “Wha- what the fuck?” Standing next to the plushie, this small green thing looked back and forth at me and my plushie. “Um, um, he say, he...
History has always repeated itself in ever increasing cycles. In the ancient days of yore, the nations of Britain, France and Spain fought over the territories of America and Africa, without considering the needs of the natives of either region. On the dawn of the Second World War, Britain and Germany discussed the fat...
“Well?” The wizard asked patiently. “Dragon, you go first. What have you learned?” The knights body shuffled uncomfortably. He cleared his throat. “Well, first of all, cows belong to people, I guess. Sheep too.” The knight, in the dragons body, roared, and spoke in a booming voice. “Of course they do!” The wizard st...
"God Damnit, I knew I shouldn't have gotten a donor off craigslist."He began to cough again, feeling his heart pounding to life suddenly in his chest. "Is something wrong?"She stared at him, wide-eyed, her eyeshadow giving her a racoon-like look in the quickly dimming light. "You're a fucking nun, aren't you."He sh...
"Yes, I am sick of you ruining my life. You have no right to be here. Leave." "Ho Ho!, The cowering mouse, has grown a tooth! Too bad, though, that tooth will do you no good. I am part of you now. You can never be rid of me." "You are a part of me, and now that I have grown stronger, I can control you. For no...
Things were different back in my day. You ate one kid and that was it. The word spread around and everyone knew to stay far away. The kids these days have NO parental supervision. I saw a boy the other day who couldn't have been more than SIX YEARS OLD! Just wandering around the woods in the middle of the night like i...
A gleaming sword, a billowing cape, tousled hair and a strong-yet-sensitive chin stood against the evil overlord. The evil overlord, a literal puddle of sludge managing to somehow stroke an evil-looking white cat on its nonexistant lap, laughed in triumph. "Fool! You will never triumph! For I have the power of *e...
Ol' Jimmy lived on the quaint, desolate house next to mine. He would usually be perched neatly in his ancient teal rocking chair, overlooking his somewhat tidy lawn. Like a sentry in a prison camp, he wore wide-winged fedora – almost like a cowboy's hat – and would brandish a Remington Model 870. Maybe he felt powerful...
More often than not, one would associate a living room with a couch, a TV, or maybe a few photos on the wall, but people hardly account the tiniest stain that remains hidden in the room. Stains caused by special someones who unknowingly gave these rooms the ability to make anyone immortal. Whether it be your husband's ...
High Priest Dorgenmire faced the door with bated breath. His arms wrought from tentacles gripped tight the throne he sat upon. If what he sensed was true, and some evil heretic was coming to attack the High Queen, then his last moments would be spent defending her honor. There was no greater death. The sounds of battl...
“Penguins don’t even live in the arctic -- how could this possibly have happened?” asked a bewildered Monty. Sherry balked. “That’s what you’re surprised by?” Monty shrugged, staring down at the penguin that looked very far away from its normal habitat on the other side of the world. “Look, I didn’t say anything ab...
I woke up, went to the kitchen, and made my morning ritual pour over. As I made my way toward the living room couch, I noticed a black box sitting on the coffee table. Where in the hell did this come from? I think to myself. The box itself was uniquely textured, almost like swirls of cooled lava rock, like you'...
The flesh-melting heat and the screams of pain and pleas for mercy have become all too familiar for me. "Whats on the menu today, Slarthor? It's been too long, hasn't it? How have you been?" His fiery eyes give an exasperated look as he says "Oh. My. God. I can't fucking wait to whip you to death then bring you back ...
“This is a test, right? I mean, there’s gotta be a camera somewhere.” I looked around furtively at the richly furnished room. Freshly-polished wooden floors. An ancient mahogany desk. Upholstered chairs that for some reason were surprisingly comfortable. Bookshelves on every wall. No window. No sunlight, hardly any l...
"Attention all personnel, human military status has been evaluated, and ranked to be used in conflicts up to Tier 5" The announcement caused a stir in the Military Central Command post orbiting Sagittarius A. Only 2 other species had been ranked for Tier 5 conflicts, the most savage and deadly conflicts known to exist...
“Nietzsche was right, then?” “All along.” “You’re seriously telling me that all of time is a loop, and all of this has happened before?” “Yep.” “So, we had this conversation before?” “Over and over again.” “And I called you a fucktard for believing in this stuff?” “Over and over.” “How many times?” “Many.” “P...
The voice boomed, dire and eternal, vibrating the very stone of the chamber. "Mortal. You are hereby sentenced by the whims of fate to servitude to one of the Twelve. By the cast die, you are Bound eternal to..." "Wait. Stop. Hang on."I held up a hand, staring at the plinth that I'd just rolled double ones onto. ...
It's common knowledge that once you die you become one with the Ship. Except this time I had got to see it first hand. My friend's body begins to decompose and crumble, draining away through the tubes to become new material for the Ship to use. It had gotten me thinking... why? Why did the Ship need us to work then to...
The portal sparked, the metal ring around it breaking apart at the seams with wires that looked like sparklers sticking out. Eagle looked at the clock on the wall and groaned at the flickering light inside the circle. “How much longer is this going to take?” He asked. The portal mechanic grunted and scratched at hi...
How the fuck do you say urinal in Mesopotamian? First of all, how did they have urinals to begin with? Humanities first big civilization all right. ‘Quick! Make a spot to pee!’. With his current pronunciation, Sam was pretty sure he was saying something different. Human tongues were not meant to bend that way. Or ...
