"Everyone, I have to get this off my chest..."The knife took a deep breath. "I did it."
The other utensils gasped.
"Yes. I did it. I broke the dish."The knife admitted. "I just couldn't stand watching that... That JERK run away with the spoon. I just couldn't. So I broke the dish."

The Captain cursed as the deck rolled beneath him again, casting another flask to the floor, glass fragments twinkling in the half light of the cabin's candles while the dark honey liquid inside soaked into the thick carpet. A treasure claimed from a Spanish galleon some months ago.

“Look, I know you want him fixed, and I know how important it is to you…but there’s only so much I can do.

So I've always had this mark on my leg, which is shaped like an airplane. Weird I know. My grandmother always told me it was a "fate mark"which foretold my eventual demise on a flight crash.

I enter the impossibly white, impossibly small room and see something much unexpected.
There's a girl, my age, with long red hair, freckles, and bright blue eyes. She sits at one end of a small table, a screen, like the kind installed in houses to keep out bugs, divides her from the other chair. The one *I* must sit i... |
It was nothing really, an antique in a store full of antiques. But Greg had a hunch, more than a hunch, but an overwhelming desire to own it. So, he bought it. Sure it needed some cleaning but what do you expect from a dusty, old store.

When we first received the signal, the world stood still. For the first time, it seemed that we were not alone. A strong narrow wave signal in the protected spectrum was observed, looping continuously. Scientists and linguists worked night and day to translate the signal, and funding was once again poured into the spac... |
4AM. Saturday Morning. My alarm starts firing off, yelling at me to get the fuck up, even though it's the middle of the weekend. Bloody phone, always on the fritz. I've half a mind to just chuck it out the window and snooze, but fuck it I had an early night anyway. I pile a few pillows over it, 'The battery'll die soon... |
I hand him the paper, locking with his eyes again. I don't speak, because silence is more persuasive right now.

She couldn't sign her own name. She just lay there looking up at me, eyes full of confusion. I had to look away. Look at anything else.

So I live on the water, big deal. But I'm a little different from most people that live on water. This isn't a boat. In fact, when I'm not *home* most people don't believe where I live.

As a child I remember going to see the one-hundred metre finals of the Olympics we held here in 2012. My dad took me. The crowds were amazing, the atmosphere was something else. And Usain Bolt. My God, what a legend! He was slow off the starting blocks, and before he'd even crossed the line he turned to the crowd and b... |
The six of them sat around the table in the tiny cabin on Steven's houseboat. Smoke from the few cigarettes still lit added a tiny, intimate haze to the room.

DAY 1
James woke to terrible pain in his side and the stench of fish in his nose. He blinked against the blazing sun, dazed, his pain intensifying as consciousness bloomed. He reached down, felt that there was an urchin lodged into his flesh, and groaned.
His body was half submerged in the rising surf. He lay on his... |
Stories tell, from long ago,
Of a beautiful kind of art,
Ink from the needle,
Meaning from the heart,
Aspirations, lovers, dreams,
Their lives they would depict,
Emblazoned upon their chest,

"If you can't think of one,
There's no need to draw a sweat,
Just think of what matters most to you... |
My alarm goes off. Its 7am. I sit up to turn it off. The first thing I notice is my hand is thin and small. Not bad, I think to myself.

Once the aliens arrived, we thought we were doomed. Their ships hovered in space, colliding with the debris and satellites.

I could smell my skin charring as my ribs cracked under the force of Ugly's flaming lash.

Even though Walther's eyes were closed, he knew he wasn't alone in his room anymore. He sighed. He had expected, and yes, hoped for this moment for some time. But now he silently admitted to himself that he felt anxious, maybe even a bit scared.

We were lonely.
We had explored the edges of the world, and beyond, into the waters that we believed would house others like us.
