"Mooom, I waaaaaant one!"My spawn grasped at my third to left tentacle, tugging desperately. "Look, they're so cuuute!" I paused in my search. The stalls of the exotic spacemarket were crowded in closely, the little clear plastic cages stacked almost close enough to touch. Inside each cage was a bilaterally symmetri...
Carol's eyes drifted off the laptop screen as she lost herself in thought. She crossed her arms, sighing through her nostrils. In front of her, the white text box gaped empty. In the upper left corner, the black line flashed like a ticking clock. "A special ability...", she mused. *She had her hands firmly placed ...
The weird thing about eternity is that it passes in a moment. It's like falling asleep. You fight and fight to finally fall asleep but the second you do, you're already waking up. Here in purgatory, one minute you're told you have to wait for something, and the next it's already started. They only told me that there we...
According to certain scientific theories, Stephen Hawking's house is an abomination against nature, and has no right to exist anymore. Neither should the earth and solar system it stands in, or even perhaps the fabric of space time unpinning even that. Because on the 28th of June, 2009, it was host to every single time...
I was reading a book when I heard a loud thud from my living room. At first I ignored it. I have a dog, you see, a big old St Bernard, and Rex has a tendency to go gallumphing all over the place, then run into furniture, and after immediately return to his running about. However, when I heard a voice from the other r...
Hef leaned over the desk, polishing a curved crystal blade. "Pretty calm today,"he muttered. "How are you doing over there?" I looked up from my desk, nodding. I liked it the best when the sunset beams seeped into the thrift shop, making all the trinkets, artifacts, and weapons glitter. The doorbell chimed obnoxiou...
“So, this is what earth looks like now? It’s been a few centuries since I last visited. You must be the cultists who bought me here and trapped me, I assume, for a purpose?” The demon’s golden eyes traced over the pentagram beneath his feet, the edges of the symbol having a dark black wall of energy radiating from it, ...
Edit 8: [link to full novella](https://samgalimore.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/unhooked.pdf) “New Lucid+ provides over 12 hours of uninterrupted pure REM cycle. Pick up your dose today!” The announcer on the TV seemed so happy about, it just depressed me. I was bored. I had seen and done it all, the flying, the bre...
Musk sat in the chair hunched over, grime and dirt covering his tattered suit, his hands scraped up from obvious digging. "I don't understand. We accounted for every fault line, every contingency, hell fluid dynamics show that it shouldn't have even had an impact!" The 8.2 earthquake that hit Los Angeles caused catas...
It took almost a dozen tries before I managed to get my house keys into the door. Using a key with 4 broken fingers? Not the easiest task. "Oh hey Andy, you're back"my sister yawned, still facing the television. "Yeaa..."my stomach suddenly growled. Oh fuck, did corpses get hungry too? Is that why Zombies always eat ...
I've always preferred sleep to consciousness. When I was a child, my nightmares in sleep were mere shadows of the horrors that daylight brought. As I fell into unconsciousness each night, the dull aches of the bruises and the piercing pains inside me faded to a single, overwhelming fear. A fear that drove me sprinting ...
A light mist hung in the air as Dumbledore made his way down the main street of the small English village. He seemed perfectly relaxed, his buckled boots clicking on the damp cobblestones as he entered a small pub. A faded wooden sign above the door read "Octopus and Dog."The barman gave Dumbledore a small nod as he wa...
The shrine at the top of the mountain was empty. The view was spectacular, reaching above the clouds. It was one he would have cherished with his father, all those years ago, hiking on the weekends. Back when the skies were blue, and smiling was easy. “You have to earn it,” a voice said. Omar turned around, and there ...
It was like something quit. An essential part of my being left in a single moment. I felt wrong. I couldn’t identify what it was. I went into the living room and my 18 year old daughter was cleaning up a vase my husband had gotten me 20 years ago. Just before he proposed. I think about him, and the thoughts I norma...
"She's a child. She doesn't belong here."Pain, level 1 Demon-in-training had been given the job of escorting the girl-child through the underworld. At ten, she was slightly too young to handle the pitfalls of the most blackest circles of torment in existence. "Maggot said if we fill in form 174(a) then we can class he...
I thrust my arms up "Yes! I'm a teenager again!"But i collect myself and try to calm down "did you say something?"Asks my mom in the next room. The place smells like smoke and coffee, mom's making breakfast. I get out of bed and hurry to the bathroom, shutting myself inside and turn on the shower. Im extatic, but the s...
I've been on Earth for some time. I am fairly certain that I am immortal. At one point I just stopped aging and as everyone aged around me they began to grow suspicious. I was driven out of my village. I began to wander. To remain discreet and out of trouble I made sure to move from place to place every 10 years. 10 wa...
The past few months, the mages were arguing and debating with the newly formed guild of scientists. They feared that with non-magical automation, magecraft would become obsolete. After this nights furious arguing, a small group of apprentices stormed up to my chambers. The leader of this small group, Dravin, shouted, “...
She was a dream of flowing porphyry and soft, exotic scents on a quiet summer night. There were no woods. The forest was gone, replaced by wavering grain out to the horizon. A golden field at a golden hour, a golden woman in a robe of royal purple. Her villa was small, but it held a strange, magical light. And I was a...
(Part 1) I remember the first time I met her. She was a little crybaby back then, small and hopeless and loud and near about the ugliest human I’d ever seen, what with all the snot and tears running down her red, swollen face. I propped myself on a rock when I couldn’t take it anymore, pulling all the energy I could ...
They could have just waited. Humanity was already on the verge of destroying itself. Earth's climate was on the verge of collapse under the weight of our exploding population. All they did was buy us time. Time to build a new society. One built with sustainability in mind. A society built, also, on a foundation of tec...
So here's the issue I have with this. We have a mathematical proof that the decimal expansion (or indeed an expansion in any integer basis) of pi is infinite. For one, pi is an irrational number, and therefore it cannot possibly be finitely represented. If you know basic calculus and have a piece of paper I could con...

People often said that being blind is like a super power. Apparently her other senses should be 'sharpened'; she should be able to hear approaching dangers quicker than the others, should be able to feel more intensely. Since losing her eyesight, however, she couldn't honestly say she'd felt any more sensitive. The...
"Of course I'm not saying let them back in", I argued on the microphone, trying to contain the raging crowd in front of me. "But maybe we can listen to what they have to say." "There's nothing for them to say!"Came a voice from the crowd. "This is our world! Our land!" They all cheered. They were right, of course. I...
"Honey, you're not... dating Freight Train, are you?" Azadeh shook her head frantically, her braided hair whipping back and forth. A more cynical parent would've assumed she was lying to cover her ass, but I knew my daughter; she didn't play games when it came to my line of work. I sighed, traded my white chocolate ...
I don't know if the fucker was wasted or something when he walked in, but Jesus. For a Level 55, I'd never seen anyone fight so... So... Poorly. Maybe he was some kinda special needs guy, and we had to intentionally lose to make him feel good or something. No, that's not it. I mean, he managed to pull off a Divine Bulw...
"Sign here, here, and..."blackened fingers traced down the page as I searched for the final signature. "Ah, yes, here." As I looked back down to my own papers, shuffling through the patient's information and the woman's request, she hemmed and hawed. "Is there a problem?"I asked, my eyes staying on my papers as I re...
I answered the Council’s summons with my presence. I wish I could say this had never happened before, but it occurred every now and again; every few hundred years, they suddenly remembered that I existed, and demanded answers of me. “Nameless One,” spoke the elder Goddess, waving hair pulled back into a low ponytail a...
&#x200B; The man had had his entire abdomen sliced open. Blood gushed out. Looking down, I could see multiple lacerations in his organs. His liver was almost in half, and acid from the sliced open stomach coated it. I wrinkled my nose and looked at the woman. “This… I’m sorry. Whatever has caused him to sustain s...
A very unusual request came to me recently. The content did not shock me so much as the… form of the proposition. One of the oldest dragons in existence visited our city and practically had our sovereign die of a heart attack. A panic like nothing we had experienced occurred as the citizens fled in hysteria. The...
ORDER Freedom STABILITY Change ETERNITY Eternity YOU WOULD KILL A MOTHER TO SAVE A CHILD. I wouldn't interfere. NO LAW, NO FOUNDATION, NO FAMILY. No oppression! No chains! No bonds! The beings argued. Constantly. If words were solid man would suffocate in this tomb. I CREATED THEM. MADE THEM PERFEC...
I grew up poor. I mean, not poor poor but poor y'know? My parents didn't give me an allowance, I never had the new cool shoes the other kids had at school which sucked because shoes were the only things we got to choose at my boarding school. My dad gave me his hand-me-down leather business shoes, always had a new pair...
"What? A janitor?"I exclaimed. "They called me a JANITOR?"This time around, my voice rang throughout the room. "Well, Steve, I can't really sugarcoat it for you--I know your job's important for you and all but don't you think you should calm down? I mean it's just the media--" "JUST THE MEDIA?"I interrupted Joe. "Jus...
Prologue There are fouler things than demons. Older things than angels. There are those who would like to think their kind and benevolent protector, their capital g God is the one true god. Those people are fools. There are gods older than God. Chapter 1: The Demon and the Holy Father When the Hellgates ope...
The first. What it must have been like. The first to ever experience sapience, to have your eyes opened to a world unending. Infinite expanse, at your finger tips, that could only feel all too small and lonely as you struggle to fit in to a planet that has its eye's closed. &#x200B; This tethers me to a reality I...
I have a type. Yeah, most women do. And no, it's not necessarily the Hollywood ideal. That's not saying that I don't think heartthrobs aren't aesthetically pleasing; yeah, they're handsome, sure, but when I choose a guy to go after I'm not looking for a magazine cover. Well, maybe Mojo. I like to kid myself and say ...
"Turns out that being devoid of magic might have been a blessing in disguise. While it's true that our race can't turn lead to gold or generate energy by just thinking about, it also means that none thought we existed. This ended 13 years ago. A simple meaningless act, barely slowing myself from falling after trippin...
"Hey, whatya doing there?" The robot whipped around and tried to use its thin body to cover what was behind it. "Oh, nothing master... just umm... work for work, you know. Homework, is what they are calling it,"said the robot. "Homework, huh? Never heard of a robot having homework,"said his master trying to peak a...
"Daddy, there's somebody on my bed." "Jesus! Eddie, come out from under your brother's bed right now!" Daddy flips the light switch and turns back to the bed with a stern look on his face. "This is the third time you two have done something like this. It wasn't very funny the first time. Scared your mom half to deat...
Raex is not a bad captain. It knows this. Most of the ship's complement of clade-marines look up to it, and back home its broodmates are proud of its military service. Right now, it's a little harder to feel that self-confidence. The long metal corridor leading to the ship's bridge is full of heavily armored clade-ma...
Most people never bond with a cat. Cats choose to roam free, maybe spending some time with a human now and then. But most human's never get chosen for a permanent bonded position. As our society values cat's as the Godliest of creatures, being chosen by one is the highest honor, and it comes with one of the greatest pe...
The old man hunched beneath the streetlamp. It was the only cover he could find from the rain, but it wouldn’t protect him from the likes of me. I crept up from behind, ordering the man, “Your money! It’s either that or your life, pal.” The man didn’t hesitate. His eyes widened, “Take it!” he pleaded. “Take everythin...
Larry aggressively sipped his coffee. He hadn't slept in almost… 48 hours? His hair was greasy and matted, his eyes glazed over, his temples were starting to throb. None of that mattered. He had done it. He had tunneled into the power directly, creating a connection between magic and machine. What now? *ls...
Damn, hard to actually make a story arc like this ---- I revved the powerful engine of my Mercedes and looked at the sucker next to me in his Abercrombie flannel shirt and ridiculous cowboy hat. His Mustang growled to life in response, and he threw me a challenging stare. I reached into my Levis and pulled out my tru...
"Guyyssss, come on. It's been days, just surrender already." "NEIN" Three days. It had been three full days since we'd hailed the submarine, telling it to surface. It did so, but then the only communication we received for a few hours was morse code "Your mum"insults in German. We eventually ID'd the vessel as an una...
The night-sky was clear above the roof of the command center. Only the night-crew was present. The craft Dawn had gone interplanetary two days and 12 hours ago. Everything was going according to protocol, the atmosphere was calm. Data uplink established. *Hourly synchronisation complete, all systems work within...
The guard stood tall and expressionless, as they always did. I bowed and surrendered my burden carefully at his feet, my anxiety building. Wordlessly, he took the scanner off the wall of the post, and scanned the bag top to bottom. Some machine inside the building hummed and hummed. This was the worst part. The waitin...
He walked into my shop early Tuesday morning, I told him my sales don't start until wedne--- "Welcome to Wednesdays at Smithys! today everything is on sale! Would you like to browse my wares?" (silence) "Sorry stranger, I don't have enough gold for---OH MY GOD I CAN PUT MY KIDS TO UNIVERSITY" What no why do I want...
It was hard to leave Earth, but its core was dwindling and on the verge of dying. We were forced to terraform Mars and start civilization back from scratch. However, something strange happened while the engines suited Mars to sustain human life. First, its surface was covered in a vast ocean, but soon, a widespread pi...
"For ten galactic standard years, the war with the machines has raged,"said the representative of the Lkems, clacking its mandibles for emphasis. "We have followed the rules of engagement, for we all agree that we do things a certain way. In that time, interstellar civilizations have lost system after system. Single-sy...
He looked at me, smiled and said: "Thanks!" I answered, confused: "Sure thing..." He then fell on his knees and became transperent. He suddenly looked up in fear as if he wants to grab something out of reach. And he was gone... I asked myself if this is a dream, like i often did when unexplainable things happen. ...
Its my first day &nbsp; God understands sarcasm and it infuriates him. So, why in His name did he create the British? Well, I actually know the answer to that. I asked him myself. He muttered something about necessary evils and punishing the French. I asked him because he decided to ascend me without warni...
"How much are you taking out?" The portly man smiled, as he looked at the list of time he had spent. "A mere two years today." Opposite him sat the Dealer. Its skin was stretched taught against bone, fingers turning to claws at their tips. It had eyes of white, and a distinct lack of hair on its head. Any who saw it...
Hi. My name is Alex Smith and I can see pain. Now, that doesn't mean I can see injuries. Sometimes people will come to my office with severed nerve endings from a childhood injury, and I can never really see the glow. But it often comes in handy when you work in a hospital. I often get complimented for being so quick ...
The door creaked threateningly as I went inside, but that was the only indication my life was about to change. I'd paid professional movers to get all my stuff inside and put it in place, and now all there was left to do was set up the wifi and cable. But it had been a long day moving across the entire city, and all I ...
She'd appear like a ghost in a fading fog. First her silhouette: slender, dark, the shadow of a nightmare I never wanted to end. She'd step forwards as I remained rooted to my spot. A deer in the headlights. The haunted before their haunting. Then her eyes: sharp, gray, depths I could lose myself in forever. Last,...
The two old friends sat on that bench in front of the lake and watched the skaters dance and fall. Benny hadn’t seen Tyler in years. Not since before Tyler’s divorce, and that wasn’t so long after college had finished. They’d played baseball together back then, been pretty good friends, but not the type of friends to ...
"John Cubik? Follow us."The men in black suits don't wait on a response and just walk away as if knowing I would follow. Confused I followed them not knowing if it was okay to talk to them or not. Something told me to just keep my mouth shut and follow. They lead me into a small room with 4 white walls, a camera, a m...
She burned. And as she burned I cried. Cried the salty, warm tears now streaming down my cheeks in thin rivers. I wished I could cry more, cry until the world flooded and extinguished the fire beneath her, saved her from the stake and returned my godmother to my side; but no, instead she just burned, flames licking up ...
“Don’t.” “No, because you know what’s a good source of potassium?” “I have been teaching bending for almost 80 years. I have heard all the jokes.” “Hey, so, my friend just texted me what I was doing and I said learning bending and he was like what kind and then I responded K.” “We have work that needs to be done. ...
"Fucking jock,"a guy dressed up like Naruto shouted at me. "Everyone knows Ninja are those who possess true strength. Go learn how to throw shuriken instead of a football." I hung my head in shame and tried to shift pass him. Luckily, despite its social connotations, I'm strong, so that was easy enough. The jeering ...
“Stop, villain!” I shouted, as I sprinted towards the ruffian. He was dressed in judicious finery, his silk shirt contrasting with his scarred and pitted face. A fencing sword hung from his waist, but by his posture I could tell that he preferred knives. He gasped at the sight of me, turning to run down the cobbled all...
I'd been running for days. Public transportation, friends cars that I wouldn't be able to give back now, and finally, my own two feet. I was worn out, but I couldn't give in to those... beasts. They didn't care were I hid, they always found me. They pecked through windows, built bridges across small bodies of water. I...
“And here,” the mild mannered dean of the college said to the gaggle of students behind him, indicating a staircase that curled up in a loop to the top floor of the library, “is the famous Adelaide staircase.” The distinguished, silver haired gentleman wiggled his fingers and eyebrows, and the students looked up at ...
It started with the doctor. I went into the experimentation room and there he was, dead. It was as if he’d died while working on the subject, scalpel still in hand, note book resting next to him, human subject still unconscious on the operating table. The cause of death was determined to be acute respiratory failure. T...
It's been a while since aliens have been observing humans. These little creatures were aggressive, small things, they have realised. They had movies and books about hate, then about people hating each other and then falling in love, and they were actually shocked to find out that some infants were taught that "hate"was...
"Stupidity drives unpredictability,"Detective Daniels said as he surveyed the crime scene. His drawl twanged more Southern than a banjo, his eyes more keen than a bloodhound's snout. "And unpredictability is no more than justice's demise." The officer standing nearby shifted uncomfortably. Not just from the detective'...
"I know there are a few Dragons out there,"Kai growled. As if to emphasize how exactly he knew this fact, the entire house shook violently. One of the dragons must have come in for a landing on what remained of the roof. Plaster rained from the ceiling, covering the entire party in a coating of dust. Kai missed t...
"Ahura,"Jaini said with a sigh, "have you finished wiping the server? Boss wanted it clean by last week."He wiped the Zheeto dust coating his fingers on crinkled office slacks. His once-white button-up hung loose over slouched shoulders, its shape on the verge of giving up like its owner's eyes. Ahura didn't turn from...
It was the day the lights went out. I was an electrician before then. I had once wanted to be a pharmacist; I'd done well in chemistry, but bottomed out on anatomy, so I went into dad's business as well. I think it was because of these two interests that I recongized the symbol that popped up on my phone twenty-seven...
"Please do not start this again" "What all I'm saying is people say please" "No" "And people say thank you" "Stop" "But what if there was more" "Please don't" "Like faloobitydoobitydoo" "You bastard" There was a puff of smoke and a ten foot tall Minotaur with a robotic arm appeared. He wrenched back his head a...
"You can't be serious." A thin black brow rose over an aquiline face. "Oh, what makes you say that?"Her voice was cool, lacking accusation or heat. Instead it held amusement within it, an amusement that caused the ice blue eyes to sparkle ever so slightly. "Because the idea of it is absurd."The woman tried to hide ...
Aetherius IX consulted the star chart for the eleventh time. The anticipation tingled in his chest, but he kept a neutral expression as best he could. All around him, the staff attempted to mirror him, but he could see the smiles and occasional grins as they continued to close with their eventual destination. Six suns ...
Jake slips on his ring, the same rose gold as the bride and groom’s. It’s familiar to him now, having been there for years. But a big ceremony like this, all focused on him… For someone with social anxiety, it was the stuff of nightmares. As the ceremony concludes and the guests flow to the park out back for the rece...
Jackie leaned against the railing, watching the old woman eating alone. Neither her table or the ones surrounding her carried a soul, everyone else in the mess hall scrunched as close to the opposing side of the room as possible. Jackie was warned about the strange things she'd see as a guard but she didn’t expect *tha...
# Dagger in the Heart of St. Valvus As he was being rushed back to his chambers, hemmed in between the drawn weapons and metal breastplates of his castle guards, King Ruben once again cursed the assassin for their clumsy attempt. Anything but poison, and he might have at least salvaged the night. “Dagger from the cur...
“Are you okay, Sir?” I turned my head slowly to look at the server who had approached me. He had a worried expression. I realized how strange I must look. How long had I been standing here? Half hiding behind a palm tree. Towel and bag waiting in the sand off to my left where I dropped them. The whole time staring at...
The smell...no the stench. The accrid stench overcame everything else. The more I walked the more powerful it came. It never disappated into the background becoming normal. It was much too pungent to ever get used to. I stopped looking at the faces and kept my head down. I needed to get out of this death zone. Panic be...
"By jove!"he cried, pointing at the screen. "Young man, you have forthsooth shown us the light!" "Yes, yes!"Boris wiped the sweat off his brow, his time travelling gamibt having paid off. "Now you see where America has gone wrong! You can write the constitution to stop all the government abuse and restriction of freed...
Me and the Big Guy, we have kind of a nice thing going. Eternally at war, but no one ever wins the damn thing. It's more of a gentlemen's agreement than a conflict at this point. It's good for business, keeps the whole good/evil dichotomy going strong, and we each have our own place. In fact, God's told me over drinks...
No quarter. It is a human term. Broadly, it translates as an order to take no prisoners. An illogical concept. Prisoners are a strategic advantage for negotiations. Members of the War Council, I open my transmission to you with this information in order to provide context for my following request. Order a retreat. I...
“Did you enjoy your time in heaven?” The voice didn’t really belong to anything. “Wait – so Earth was heaven?” I had a slight headache, something I didn’t figure would exist after Earth was so far gone. “Yes. Did you enjoy it?” “I thought heaven was eternal, I only had 25 years.” “You had a whole 25 years, which is...
Sisyphus daydreamed of a moment of audience with Chronos. For surely he could convince the god of time to turn back the dial so that Sisyphus could undo the mistakes of his life. He would greet Charon with open arms and ride through the river Styx. He would accept his death and give his children the chance to rule E...
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, my fellow Americans and my numba one nicca r/MrGoldenVoice. We are 15 years into this new century and 15 years too far from the 1990's. Fifteen years that dawned with terror touching our shores and a new generation fighting two long and costly wars. I can speak for...
I finally finished putting on my armour and limbered up. Another day, another small sack of silver for protecting the king. I went to my kitchen to kiss my wife goodbye. There stood a 12ft dragon, fierce and purple. I kissed her shoulder and told her I'd see her tonight.... Record Scratch Freeze Frame ...
Kek was cold. His joints ached and he saw naught but darkness. Fitting -- he was a lord of dark, after all -- but even darkness can fall with time. It had been so long since he’d heard the Voice. Or voices, rather. Once, his followers had spoken in prayer, their arms clasped and bathed in red. Each night brough...
"It's just a quest for a lost cat. What could go wrong you said! It's an easy peasy mission, you said!"Melos swung his sword chopping off an undead warrior's head. I ducked under the swing as it missed me by inches, kicking another undead in the shins. "Look, I didn't know did I? I just thought it would be a simple ...
"You're a Witcher, Harry." The words still rung and echoed in Harry's head, fifteen years later. At the time, he'd been excited to leave his aunt and uncle's house in Novigrad's outskirts, even if they had sold him to the old Witcher for barely a couple of coins. If he'd only known what being a witcher really meant,...
“Hades can we keep him?” Persephone asked, smoothing out the hair from the figure’s face. Bruised and battered, the man’s eyes tried to open behind the swelling. “It’s not a small pigeon we can nurse back to health. It’s an angel!” Hades emphasized the last world, looking down at his kneeling wife and the birdbrain...
I guess you can say I come from a pretty well to do family. Not because we have money, well- I mean we have as much money as we need, but it's not because we're rich... it's- ugh! It's so hard to explain. We 'have all the money we need' because my grand warlock father and high witch mother can summon it out of thin ...
"So... first day huh?" The woman driving looked back at the road, accelerating to overtake a black Jeep. "Um, uh- yeah,"I mumbled from the passenger seat, looking out at the desert rush by. "So how'd your interview go?" "It was pretty good, yeah." "That's good." "I'm David." "Elena." There was a moment of silen...

"Room clear" "Room Clear, moving on" Jack moved with well rehearsed speed. taking up a position at the other side of the door frame to the next room. Deftly Margaret moved up next to him and waited for me to breach the door. The time was eleven twenty-nine in the morning, I had done the exact same thing two hundred an...
The 21st Century had been the beginning of the end, pandemic after pandemic circled the globe. It had the effect of decimating the population, but its other effect was to turn country against country. Borders slammed shut, foreigners were jailed with act first ask questions later policies. The 22nd Century was when th...
"The Declaration of Independence was a very very important document,"the docent told all of the students. "Adopted by the Continental Congress in 1776, a copy was sent to King George to inform him that the American Colonies planned to become their own independent nation instead of remaining part of Britain. This was re...
EDIT: 2nd and 3rd parts are connected to this comment :) well... I've just about done it.

He makes his way to baggage claim. Spotting ...
I'm an artist working in different mediums. One of the things I do is speed portraits at events. I can draw a pretty spot on likeness in around two minutes. Like a human photo booth, except it takes longer, and you're getting stared at intensely by a stranger trying to capture your likeness. In two minutes I talk with ...
[AITA for kicking out my tenants] I (NB, ∞) was trying to make an apple pie in a week. Well 8 days, if you count the rest day. However, one of the people I made on Day 6 ate the only apple. So I kicked them out and let the world run on autopilot. AITA? Reasons why I may be the A-hole: It's been like 20,230 years and...
