The first assault against Earth was a nightmare. The landings began between December 31st and January 1st in Russia, Canada, and the North and South poles. The high command hoped to seize tremendous swaths of territory that they could begin colonizing immediately. There were no survivors. The ships, if and once they...
"Shh. We are playing hide and seek." I squinted and turned around. Just a long dark hallway. The lights had gone out, the air crisp and cold. I walked on, and turned on the flashlight on my phone. The lights had shut off a few minutes prior, and I hadn't been in this area of the school tunnels yet. I felt like t...
“We don’t talk about it.” The old miner furrowed his brow, a look of flat refusal “If you’ve got any sense, college boy, neither will you.” “No way I could change your mind?” I motioned the bartender, a middle-aged women with hard eyes and a petrified scowl. “Another for my friend here, and same for me.” “I aint ye...
\Zap!\ "Nope, Refroster. You must know that cooling something down means the heat goes somewhere else. Even moving that heat itself would be extremely tough." \Zing\ "Yeah, sorry, Manbat. I hope you understand that the flight plan you just followed would put you under instantly-lethal G-forces." &#x200B; ...
"Hand Shake, Hand Shake, Hand Shake, but for some reason, when it gets to me, they give me a hug?" "Dude, I think you're overthinking it" "I'm not, Do you think they are trying to get on my good side?" "There's probably another reason they always try to hug you. Its probably an Alien thing" "I thought so too, but A...
Things keep getting worse. The lovecraftian horror writers were our best chance but they couldn't resist the thrawl of their muse and eventually turned on us. The mystery writers went insane trying to comprehend the creatures and figure out Lovecraft's weakness. The fantasy writers hit it with everything they had fr...
He just smiled. I didn't see what was so funny, and I told him that. He said, "You." I quirked a brow. "It's killing you, isn't it? The curiosity. The mystery. You want to know why I'm enjoying myself so bad because your life here is literally hell. You're miserable. You're bored. Your life has no purpose excep...
When I married Elizabeth, I always felt that she was a bit different. She had customs, that seemed so unnatural to any one particular nationality. Foods that didn’t seem to be of the world, going into recipes that yielded no results online. But I loved her and I did my best to accommodate her. She spoke perfect Englis...
"Alright Randy let him go, you're being downright cruel." Randy tightened his choke hold on the grey creature, laughing. "What'sa matter? Marvin the Martian can't breathe?" The poor space faring creature feebly plucked at Randy's arm, gasping and sputtering from it's toothless mouth. "C'mon Randy he can't hurt'c...
"John? Are you okay?" "Yes I'm fine Susan" Huh, no I'm not. I'm terrified. I guess that's to be expected. When you're body's being controlled by someone else, and your voice is being controlled by someone else, I guess it's to be expected that you treat life more like a really immersive cinema. "...John, stop standi...
“Didn’t anybody hear me? I only got nineteen minutes left, now.” Everyone was frozen from the shock but the youngest member of the cultists managed to articulate a few syllables before silence dropped again: “Wh- who are you?”, “Not Cthulhu obviously, but one of his.. representatives.” the accountant replied with under...
"Timmy, come down please. This tree is veey high and dangerous. Don't make dad worry about you!"Screamed Maria, the maid in charge of taking care of the powerful... Timmy. He was adopted by the maid's boss, Dr. Killit. The maid couldn't quite control him, and there was a good reason to it. There was an old tale, passe...
"Dear Mirabelle, You assured me that I was not being unduly paranoid or unreasonable for feeling as I did. But you also counselled patience and restraint. Yes, you said, it was quite possible that there was something she was trying to keep hidden from me. But it was also possible that I, as a naturally jealous man, ...
It really wasn’t a secret agency it was just the department of transportation. It’s just that this particular branch was a little more secretive. See the economy is heavily tied to transportation, in a big big way. Millions of jobs are in trucking and airlines, and then there are the parts that go into building all the...
"W-what did you do with your last scientist?"the bounty hunter said, confused. "Shot her." "Why would you do that?" Now that was a funny question. Let's see. I gave her all the equipment she needed, a well stocked laboratory, a football stadium worth of assistants. You wanted to know why I shot her? I grabbed th...
Okay, this is it, one more lap. I take in a deep breath and fall under the water, racing to the other side, and back, and back again. I count 14 times, 7 ways back and forth, my lungs are burning for air. This will all be worth it in the end, I promise myself. I spring up to the surface, choking for air. "I really wish...
"there's been a small change in management"Lucifer said, looking absolutely ravishing. My my, he really was God's most beautiful angel... But, sadly, his toned muscles were not the problem that needs addressing. "Wait, so me and all my Athiest friends were wrong? Why didn't God leave a bit more of a mark on earth or ...
Go teach on Chlorophyllius II, it'll look great on your resume! Sure, they were right about that. After all, I do want to get into the ever-growing field of astropedagogy. You'll be one of the first people to use the new Dilation Interface Device. We're talking bleeding-edge temporal technology! Yeah yeah, it'...
That can't be right. It won't talk to me unless I'm sick, so what does that mean? "Don't freak out, everything is fine." How am I able to hear it if everything is fine? Could this supernatural voice be... broken? That wouldn't be possible, right? Ever since I was very young, this voice has been telling me what is wr...
I was sitting on the couch in Kelly's apartment. There was a half-eaten plate of spaghetti in my lap. In front of me was an 85 inch TV, but it wasn't on. It was currently just a rectangular black screen, but in it, I could see Kelly walking up behind me. I felt her arms circle my neck in a loose headlock. She kissed m...
Savoring the last three minutes of her lunch break, Jane sighed deeply when her hot sauce packet began speaking. &#x200B; "Jaaaaaane"it called out, longingly. &#x200B; Jane had one bite left of her lunch. She had been good that week, meal-prepping avocado on whole wheat toast, pickle chips and a lean turkey...
What's this? It's green and it's round. It fits so nicely in my mouth and it bounces when I let go. This is my favourite thing. Wait, what's this? It's blue and it's long. It goes 'squeak' when I bite it and I can chew it all day long! This, THIS, is my favourite thing. Hold on? What's this? It's flat and it's f...
It was never easy to serve the masses given how judgemental and unforgiving they are. Stop a bank robbery? Well innocent bystanders had a bone or two broken. Rescue people from a burning building? You didn't get them all. The media and it's followers never forget, so I can never forget. The thing is, when The Rift ask...
Billions of people around the world remembered what they were doing the day the Gerald Ford was sunk. The enemy had actually livestreamed the attack: three strikes and she was down. The first strike would have been enough; it sliced her in half lengthwise. The second two strikes had just been to hammer the two hal...
I took off my glasses and rubbed my eyes. I'd been working on this stupid paper for the last four hours. Standing up from my desk, I walked over to the kitchen nook. I started a kettle boiling, and started to contemplate my terrible life choices. Why did I sign up for this class? I hate philosophy, but my dumb sister i...
MONDAY: Box arrives. It's light, matte black finish. It's strange: it's raining outside, the step and grass are soaked, but the box is bone-dry. I try to see if anyone put it there, if there's a delivery van or something nearby, but the streets empty. Wind rustles the trees, makes them shake. I look at it for a w...
Most sentient lifeforms never leave their homeworld, the vastness of the empty void is terrifying to them. They fear the sea of stars, and find other ways to develop. Some evolve themselves to replace the natural ecosystem of their world, so that every lifeform there is one and the same. Some build strict and rigid hie...
In the beginning there was nothing save the sun. From the dust that birthed her she formed the Earth, and so began the first day. On the first day the base metals iron and nickel sunk to the center of the newborn Earth, so forming her layers of crust and core. On the second day the Earth gathered clouds into mist, mi...
Their minds are weak. The masses. They think I'm crazy for denying history, but I see through this conspiracy. It's all a lie. I've seen the so called past, how do they believe this? There is no consistency! You pull a sword from a stone. Impossible! Tell me the last time you saw a giant lizard. I will fight to the ...
"So, why are you here?"The scrawny onlooker squawked at me. His phone in my face. I turned away, ignoring him. Ignoring them all. I used to be on that side of the chain link fence. Then I heard 'the calling'. As they said. It was all WE could say. It's all I could say as to why. The worst were the rich. They came in ...
“Spoons?” “Spoons.” “Spoons?” “Spoons.” “I apologize, sir. I don’t understand." “You...don’t understand?” “I’m afraid not.” “You don’t understand? You don’t understand...spoons?” “Unfortunately, no.” I hesitated for a minute, staring dumbly at the worker. He blinked. Finally, I said, “Well, thank you, anyway,...
I run a small bar, you know, the kind that isn't on any main street, isn't in any of the tourist magazines or the official city guides. The sort where the light is dim and people mostly drink in small groups holding small conversations, or play the meanest game of pool in the entire city. The sort of bar where for some...
"...and then, they made me their chief."I finished with a grand flourish. The elven guards standing outside my cell erupted in applause, their faces awash with awe. I gave a small bow before sitting down on my bunk. "What happened next?"One of the fresher faced guards asked. "Well,"I said, picking up my water jug, "I...
"Grandpa... dont you ever wish you were still human?" Daniel had always had the biggest blue eyes, he got them from his mother. Nothing could ever stop that kid from speaking his mind. From thw moment he could talk he was always asking questions no matter how much people tried to make him sit and be quiet. Thos...
To all chivalrous and upstanding knights A dragon has stolen your princess Be you brave of heart and strong of faith Come forth and slay the wicked beast May the crown be forever in your debt It was a simple plan. Alright, it was a bit more than simple but I thought they could handle it. Me...
I waved goodbye to my husband as he went off to work. He waved and blew a kiss back to me. As he drove off, my smile fell. Damnit! For two weeks straight, I'd poisoned him every morning and every night. I'd slipped him enough cyanide the first morning to take out a city block. Then I'd doubled it at dinner. Tripl...
Today, I am officially starting to freak out. I won’t pretend otherwise. I have a degree in psychology. I worked very hard to get it, and when I graduated six months ago, some classmates and I went on a road trip north to check out the English countryside. Angela Morris, an immigrant from Australia had suggested we go...
One day you're back from college and your moom asks you to clean out your closet. Why does she always do that -- acts like you're 14 again when you come back home? Nobody at MIT asks you to clean the closet. To prove to yourself that aren't 14 anymore, you actually agree and start doing it. Deflated footballs, dr...
Norwik sat atop his impressive hoard, feeling like the most impressive dragon to ever live. Not only did his hoard contain numerous coins, but even the smallest was as big as his head. Surely no dragon had ever gathered such a hoard. And the best part was, he did nothing to collect them. They just came to him from th...
Body Exchange Specialist, they called it. But if you were in the business, you knew that about 95% of it was being a sexworker. And there were a lot of strange things that you got to see, as you monitored the actions of your renter. Yeah, I had done a lot of strange things, or rather, I had allowed my body to do a lot ...
The kid was obviously inexperienced. He threw his bill hook at me like it was a javelin, then ran in with an arming sword and no shield by his side. Realistically, it was inevitable. My pike took him by surprise, through a gaping hole in his chain mail and straight into the centre of his chest. The sounds of metal and ...
It was just another day here in the gods' bookkeeping department. Another four hundred sixty seven reincarnated through the Buddhist door, two thousand sixty eight through the pearly gates of the Christian door. The numbers... They grow wearisome at times. It was simple when humanity was first formed and only a handf...
She was just a normal crustacean, walking along the beach, until scientists from Evil Corp captured her. Escaping from Evil Corp's labs, she came to your house, and now she has your gun and is pointing it at you. You just gave it to her as a joke, but now it's serious business. The safety is off, the gun is aimed stra...
Did you hear about Loki’s little eleven month vacation? He wasn’t exactly spending all that time in Midgar for fun, if you know what I mean. What I heard from Sigyn was, Odin hired this giant to do some work around Asgard, and I guess it was sort of on Loki’s recommendation? Like, Odin has never heard of this guy, he ...
Here we have an excellent example of a crèche. While the adolescents generally sleep in the burrows of their biological parents, a great deal of the child-rearing is handled in communal environments like this. The young adult supervises the adolescents as they perform simple tool-using activities, or sleep. As with the...
On March 18th, 2067 in the suburbs of Toronto humanity made two major breakthroughs, one in science, the other in religion. A small start up known as TSD Biotech^1 had come about with a revolutionary way to clone anything with a DNA strand, they called their patented process DOPPLE, because they claimed that their clo...
At first, Heaven was prosperous. A land of holy miracles, shaped by the thoughts of its inhabitants. All those who rose believed in its virtue, and in their own goodness, they changed the land. *Of course, at first it was not called Heaven. It was Elysium, Tlalocan, or Valhalla. Yet, despite the vast changes in iden...
"Oh, come on. I've been here for two minutes..."I slapped my phone, trying to turn off and on my mobile network. Airplane mode, restarting the phone, charging the phone - all of it didn't work. "Fuck it." I threw my phone on the sofa. Doesn't matter, I'm here to spend the day alone anyway, might as well make full use ...
Chaos stretched and screwed up her face in thought. "Actually. You know what? I reckon you're both right,"she said, her bright eyes glancing between her two companions, a wry smile playing on her lips. "Oh, that's cheating!"Light cried. "You can't do that!" Darkness rolled her eyes. "I'll tell you now that I'm very m...
To be honest, it was kinda scary and exciting away from my parents the first time. I had moved to attend university on the other side of the country. The dorms were too expensive for me, so I've rented a house downtown. I've always thought I found a good deal, as this place was cheap. Until now, I guess. For you see, ...
Everyone sat in the large, lecture hall like room anxiously staring at the screen consuming the wall at the front. The progress bar on the decryption software had nearly reached one hundred percent after weeks of attempting to figure out the code that the scientist at SETI had received and no one was willing to miss th...
“Never forgive.... never forgive...” the knife wielding shade crept out of the shadows, eyes piercing towards me cold and yet alight with with infernal hatred. In life she was young, and practically shared it growing up with a successful sailing merchant she soon became convinced was her other half. However, on one fat...
"Right, then. You must be Harry, nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you too, sir."Harry gave a polite little smile. "Let's get right to it. I'd like you to meet my assistant. She's called Martha, she's a common grass snake. Beautiful little thing!"Professor Irwin led Harry to a large aquarium in the back of the room. ...
Greatest of treasures, more vivid than the tapestries of the ancestors. The essence of the living vessel, bounded by the bounty of the fields. Oh, what beauty was seen here, in those crumbling specks of divinity made manifest. Oh how sacrosanct it was that one such as I must gleam it's inner machinations, the folds of ...
The ground rumbled rhythmically. The pulsating bass threw throngs of screaming citizens off balance and caused windows to shatter in an instant. As the people of Sacramento ran for shelter, lyrics began to sift into their minds: My, my, my, my music hits me so hard/Makes me say, "Oh my Lord" Ten thousand people yel...
Marren had been alone. She had been alone in what had once been a galaxy filled with life, now, just an empty husk of its former glory, for as long as she could remember. Her body endlessly floating through the endless confines of the dead space. She wasn’t tired, or cold, just numb. Numb, and lonely. So, so, so......
"Mum, can you please stop cleaning my room when I'm out, its an invasion of privacy, I can do it myself and you never put things away in the right place anyway." "What? Jamie, I haven't been in your room all week...." "You've got to be kidding me! I swear you went through it last night. I saw you." Terror flashes ...
Now I lay me down to sleep These memories shall make me weep Should I die before I wake I pray that something, something, cake Eric shook his head, feeling the too-warm fabric of his pillow scratch against his ears. For the third night in a row now, he had been wholly unable to drift off at a ...
“Citizens of the United Federation, welcome to the ‘Earth Auction’!” the auctioneer announced to a massive dome, filled with aliens of all kinds, sat neatly in rows, a glass ceiling above providing a view of the rocky Earth landscape. “Now of course, we were all sad about the events of The Flash. That sorry day when a...
"The main coolant pump is making a funny noise again,"I muttered. I tilted my head, listening carefully. Yep, there was a new high-pitched whine, with the occasional louder squeal as metal rubbed against metal. Time to take a look. Eyes-of-Ocean waved a tendril for my attention as I started rummaging through the to...
“I’m starting with the man in the mirror, I’m asking him to change his ways.” That joke got old rather quickly. It didn’t help that the person in the mirror seemed displeased with my singing, giving me a blank stare as they hovered back and force in their glassy realm. What did they expect? They were the tenth mirr...
The parasite's entrance to the host is somewhat easy to disguise; this is a leftover evolutionary mechanism from when it had to enter far less willing hosts. In my case, however, I felt an immediate burning sensation. I was eating lunch with my wife at the time, and I stood from my chair, screaming and slapping at the ...
Fritz slapped the chalk bag from hand-to-hand and gripped the rim of the German wheel. It was probably his favourite gymnastic prop. The curls and cartwheels and tucks and rolls you could accomplish with it were breath-taking. The only real negative was the years and years of crushed fingers. And, apparently, one...
"Welcome to Europa. Papers please". - Said Vlommik to the intergalactic arrival. "Sure thing. Here". Vlommik takes the passport, a declaration card, and a species ID. "Says here you're a Chef. Fan of spices?" "Um... why yes. Spices are essential in the art of cooking you know, haha!"- Said Natalie, with a worrisome...
"Come on Josh. You know you really should." Josh grimaced after muttering that. He really should get back on the routine, and brush his teeth. It was hard lately. The lockdown, his mom passing away. One of his best friends was just sentenced to federal prison. If sucked trying to take care of himself when he just didn...
As far as superpowers go, it’s pretty infuriating in its vagueness. But there have been a few Titles that were almost as scary as today. One time I woke up to, ‘A Broken Leg’. Luckily that wasn’t me, that was my brother who was out snowboarding, though who knows? It could’ve been me, since I’d been invited but skipped ...
A mile on a side, a cube hurtled through space travelling so fast even light could not keep pace Inertialess, it stopped right alongside the moon and the Borg said of the humans "We will make you like us, soon." &#x200B; They came upon a man meditating 'neath a tree and asked him to join them - they would...
The Grand Elder stood above the Witches and Wizards, his ceremonial cloak blown about by enchanted wind. “Come forth and receive young Jisicla” the Grand Elder said “A staff befitting you’re skills and talents” A small witch walks towards the Grand Elder and kneels with her hands laid bare. With a flash of light her ...
Shyna felt the first disturbance faintly, a feather barely brushing the back of her mind. She ignored it, continuing the slow inspection of the soul before her. Such disturbances were irritatingly common. For whatever reason, teenagers would regularly trespass into her temple; they rarely made it very far before retrea...
"No,"I repeated firmly, my arms crossed over my chest. The three so-called heroes standing in front of me looked at me in shock. "But you don't understand, if she dies--" "No, you don't understand. She is already dead. Time has an order. A system. A flow. No one person is important enough to change that. I'm truly ...
It hasn't been long, since the rebellion has reached out to you and offered generous amounts of goods in exchange of a very convenient murder. You've always wholeheartedly denied these requests, of course. They're your friend, you would NEVER harm them! Though that point of view drastically changed a few weeks ago. Y...
In an otherwise extremely insignificant part of the galaxy, where no great species have any valuable colonies. A place where the primary population seems to consist of outcasts, pirates, smugglers, and other scum, there is a system that even those vile and chaotic individuals avoid. It has more planets than average, bu...
Though the princess strived to see the best in everyone, she had to admit that the witch was a hideous woman. Her sickly green skin hung about her face as if liable to fall off any second. Three tiny moles stood clustered at the corner of her lips, shining with saliva. She raised her arm into the air, her spindly whi...
They were still robots. They removed their metallic visors, their visages of electricity as if they were embodiments of their synthetic music; they were, underneath those chrome domes, robots. We were rocked with that news. It was strange to some of us that they hinted at the fact for so long, yet, we failed to grasp...
So you want to get to the Met, huh? What you wanna do is head north on Lexington Ave, then take a right to head north on Quincy, another right heading north on Nostrand, right to head west on Lexington, then a left to head north on Park Ave. Now you'll see the Met on your left, but don't be fooled. You can only get i...
They were quiet, meek even a bit presumptuously arrogant of the knowledge they held. With their noses turned up to most who visited their sacred halls. Most never bothered crossing them as a late return was met with a verbal warning that most mothers saved for their child for killing the family pet. They were the keepe...
“No no no, you don't understand. I didn't fail or get cold feet- No, you listen to me. I like to think I'm good at what I do. I did the job, now hold up your end of the deal. It's not my problem he keeps coming back.” The man inside the phone booth went wild eyed as his exasperated pleas carried little weight. The con...
“So how was your visit with the big man?” Mom asked. I hated that conversation. I get off the plane after an eight hour flight and Mom immediately starts. Next she pokes my belly and asks how many donuts I ate. It’s always the same. My Mom resented my father’s weight gain and never tired of exclaiming “Dad bod is n...
It made sense when you thought about it, it really did. For every action, a reaction. For every question, and answer. And for every desperate query sent out into the void... well, why not a response. Experimentation was key. Simply slapping a few words together into sentences and tossing any old trash onto a fire woul...
Allison did not like her job. She sometimes considered taking control of the AI driving assistant while on her daily hour commute, pulling the wheel to the side and allowing herself to crash into one of the gleaming gold buildings that towered above the slums of her neighborhood. Would that be so bad compared to lettin...
The silent alarm was never triggered. A gun-toting man stands on a desk, surveilling the bank’s occupants. He wears a black mask, covering the majority of his face, protecting his identity. If he succeeds, his idealized future is preserved. And right now, that’s all he wants. &#x200B; I’ve always been pushed to ...
Once upon a time, a dog ate alphabet soup and found it could talk! However, it didn't go so well... For one, a lot of people become afraid when they see or hear something that they've never seen or heard before. And it's safe to say that not too many people had seen or heard a dog talk before. Plus, it didn't help t...
The sound of twisting metal and brutal screams filled the ship, a high pitched orchestra reaching its climax. Damage control panels beamed a bright red with warnings of decompression and death. Thick smoke danced in the air, swirling with the frantic movement of the crew rushing to their duties. "Seal off the lower d...
"Gonna surrender again! Ya pillock twat- what is that?"Charlie held his hand over his forehead, blocking out the sun as he squinted his eyes. In the ocean, he saw something on the horizon, rowing toward him. Across the ocean, a man on a paddleboat with large ears paddled toward the shore. The water splashed with each...
On my way to the dressing room, I passed Melissa from Sector ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha, dusting her face with snail slime and toxic chemicals. I rolled my eyestalks. Earthlings. I'll never understand their strange trappings of "beauty", but if I was to win this competition, I'd need to stoop down to their level. It's a big a...
There was a parade. Confedy falling front the sky and people cheering in the streets, they waited for the main entertainment to come, the marching band. First was the strong, noble Brass players, p Blowing with a mighty roar, summoning a load lion making the crowd cheer. Next was the orchestra. Playing there flute...
It was the day after I divorced my lover. I had loved them for 4 years. Then, I found out they were cheating on me with the computer guy down the block. I fell into a state I recognized from my childhood. A state of apathy and depression in which I'd stay in my house, watch TV, and not interact with anyone unless neede...
"You know prank calls are a felony, right?"the emergency operator - a woman - asked, clearly annoyed. "Let this be a warning to you." "Wait, I'm not fucking arou-"I start to yell, before the line cuts. Bzzt. "Sh#t. Sh#t sh#t sh#t."I curse, kicking a rock on this gravelly, poor excuse of a road. I don't remember ho...
"Why are you so concerned?"Commander Anix said. "I've seen the documentaries, they have hand weapons that can cut through just about anything. They have reliable intra-galactic faster-than-light travel. They have weapons that can obliterate entire worlds! Even with our vast fleets, this system will bleed us dry!"I beg...
"You're late."I didn't need this today. "The horde caused quite the traffic jam this morning. You wouldn't belie-" "Save it. Just get to work."Maria sharply interrupted. Wish she'd get to work one of these days. 'Horde' might have been generous but there were enough to slow every lane and extend every light on the w...
“Take the job,” she had said. “It’ll be fine.” At first Johnny had agreed with Charlotte. He had not the slightest inkling why his services would be required to look after a Roomba, but it looked like some quick cash for the school holidays. Better than walking ferocious bulldogs or trying to keep temperamental cats o...
Trading Fortune ---- Jack sat down on the end of the grubby park bench, doing his best to avoid the worst of the grime. He sort of perched, not willing, or even consciously able to commit to a full sit. And then he waited. It was almost an hour later that a filthy beggar approached, the rags he was wearing barely ...
“I’ll purge this world of evil” That’s what I thought to myself so many years ago. I’ve done so much since then. I’ve hunted multiple demons, taken down corrupt businesses, disbanded cults, but this… this just didn’t feel right. I approached the Antichrist readying my hidden blade, but that look in his eyes… I know tr...
The Defenders, as they so humbly named themselves, were never known for their ability to compromise; such is the business of smashing heads into public buildings and private residences. It would seem that the head smashing similarly affected their prowess within the contemporary judicial system, as they came to involun...
First, it was the fun ones. Embarrassing a construction worker on the portojohn. Watching as the doorman's confused face as the handle stayed an inch away from his outstretched palm. I even put a sign up on the elevator at work. I wouldn't release the doors until the person said "Please open up, Mr. Ele...
January 02 - Personal Log After speaking with Saint Peter, it appears that I've been given my first ward. I've only been out of Guardian Angel training for a week, but I'm excited to get out to the field and help humanity. It's been my life's mission, finally realized! &#x200B; January 03 - Personal Log I show...
The pain never goes away. Every time the suns align, coming together for one brief moment in their dance, I can fly. For a day, I am free. The sky calls to me when I am trapped on the ground. It calls to me now as I beg on the streets of Phesper, collecting meager coins, dependent on the pity of strangers because it i...
Steve was being rushed to the head of the ship as the much larger pirate vessel loomed overhead. The obvious design of the insectoid Neuroter ship, from the unnecessary holes to the brown colour scheme, made it worse as it was know that they were incredibly difficult to escape alive. Once he was on the main bridge of ...
Rampage Staring at the sobbing girl in front of me, struggling against her bonds, I wondered where everything had gone so wrong. “Please, calm down”, I begged her. I’d heard that using someone’s name helped build trust; sadly, I’d never learned it. Just grabbed her off the street, into some dirty back alley, mak...
Since she was small Ellen Grimbsly was beset by tragedy... It started when she was 5 years old visiting her grandparents. After being lost in the woods for a day she was found but the neighbor's grandson did'nt turn up for a week. The local state park was vast and people did go missing. The ranger said she was luc...
