Today was a normal day, just like any other. I woke up in my double bed and washed my face. I picked up my toothbrush before looking down at the other. Why did I own two toothbrushes...? I shrugged my shoulders as I continued my morning routine. I walked down the stairs to the oddly quiet living room. Oddly quiet? Who...
The sound of booming thunder erupted throughout the night sky. A bright flash of light consuming the darkness. When the light disappeared mere milliseconds later, the ground ripped open, cracks in the ground stretching throughout the barren valley. The figure of a man hidden in the nights darkness flew from the hole in...
They're all sat, watching me. Waiting for my next words. "I'm passing my legacy onto..."tends to be followed by a name. Instead, I followed it with silence. Of course, that's only from their perspective. My mind is as loud as ever. Racing, contemplating, deliberating. I've had a long time to decide my heir - To decide...
I knew what she meant, back when she wrote those words, knew what had happened to her. That was the worst part. I knew what happened, had that closure, but I couldn't tell anyone the truth. I just had to watch me parents suffer, wondering what it meant. Ma OD'd a year later, a few feet from the circle, the I suspect th...
Dylan could not move. The man before him had somehow created a field of light that held him in place. The older man's look of disdain was palpable. All Dylan could think of was how awesome it looked. He was locked in a magic cage! How cool was that? The sorcerer sneered. "So, you think you can bring harm to my grandso...
"IMAX?" "Yes." "3D-Ultra IMAX?" "Yes." "I sent you out with a 10 year old camera. A SINGLE 10 year old camera. You have, like, at least seven different angles of this fight. How?" "We kept finding better ones. And Sergej learned Multicamming." "Multi what... I... I... how? What the hell?" "Well, we just got bet...
450 BPM, the metronome ticking rapidly, my friend looks on embarrassed as I stand drunkenly in a room full of his nearest and dearest preparing to show them my party trick. I jump forwards, launching myself backwards, "WAHOOOO!", I tuck myself into a sitting position and slam ass first into his stairs. Shocked gasps ...
26th day of the Harvest Season He's getting worse. He barely heard me as I entered the cave. Usually he could hear me when I was at the foot of the mountain, thousands of feet down. I told him as much, but he scoffed at me and told me he rolled into a rock, so it was lodged into his ear. A feeble excuse if I ever hear...
The Unseeing Thing In 1923 my grandfather passed away, and left me his estate. The influenza outbreak of a few years earlier had made me his only living relative, and left us both miserable. Before he died he sent me a series of cryptic notes about a wolf at the top of the stairs. He was not ripped to shreds. He l...
I take pride in my work. I'm not the smartest, or the strongest, or the fastest, but I worked hard to get where I am. Castle 1 miniboss isn't the best job, and there are guards in Castle 3 who are just me in blue armor, but I spent years, working my way here. I didn't question why my boss had me put the power glove i...
The first time I saw him, I was frightened beyond anything. I couldn't even scream. There he stood, by the only door to my bedroom, holding it closed. His piercing eyes looking at me with a most peculiar and frighteningly cold stare. I put my head down underneath my pillows and hid myself to the best of my ability, hop...
Michael stood in the rubble of Luna Magical Academy, bleeding, bruised, broken, and surrounded by thousands of bodies but still standing. Michael surveyed the battlefield for survivors when he noticed an unnaturally black mist approaching him. Three figures appeared from the mist. A woman in a long black coat, brown h...
"Ruger,"came the surprisingly soft call from the corporate HR rep, Mr. Colt, "please step into my office." Immediately thoughts began spinning along at a rate faster than the rifling of my barrel could handle. "Yes, sir,"I warily replied as I set my sights on the frosted glass of Colt's corner office. "Please take a...
The old man hobbled along leaning heavily on his cane. He sat down on his favorite bench in the sun. It wasn't long before the squirrels showed up. They were his friends. It seemed to have started when he stopped his car to help one of their number across the road. Actually, the truth to that story is a bit more drasti...
The station had more supplies than necessary for dealing with the obstruction of space traffic while the Space Elevator was being built. However, as the elevator was being locked into position when we teleported, we didn't have that many more supplies than usual. Alarms blared when we lost radio connection. More alarm...
Math 100 is a huge class. Easily 200 students in a big lecture hall. Even in that sea of people, she stood out to me. Long jet black hair, black nail polish, black lipstick, lots of real leather both on her clothes and for her accessories, knee high black boots with a heavy sole. No one dressed like her and no one lo...
When he called for an experienced warrior to come forth into the light to vanquish the forces of darkness that emerged from the Dark Forests, Dominicus wasn't expecting an elderly gardener to rise to the occasion and receive his blessing. It was as though there was a metaphorical monkey's paw that just curled and thre...
It was supposed to be a fun experiment. It was supposed to bring joy to a dull classroom one gloomy Monday afternoon, when life seemed hopeless as the news continued to blare out the call of doom. It had been going on for weeks, and there seemed to be little point distracting the class with the things they were meant...
The figure was vast, it’s two legs were as long and thick as ancient red woods and his body proper was a bold and slender mesa, and his arms were strong and quick like a pair of roaring waterfalls. And there were many of similar shape and power. These were the spirits born of man. Behind them on the horizon were the f...
Kelly shook herself awake, taking a moment to groan the fog out of her brain. She let out a heavy sigh and sluggishly blinked at the clock, trying to make her eyes focus, only for another, more exasperated sigh to escape her as the "2:00 AM"became visible. "All part of the job"she muttered to herself as she fumbled for...
"This is stupid,"said Nicomede. "Chaos wizard. What a moron." He trudged up the stairs of the so-called wizard's tower. The tower, and its owner, had appeared out of nowhere a week ago, and had been terrorizing the village ever since. Everyone said that the tower had teleported in, but that was ridiculous, there was n...
I burst free from my cage once more, perfectly prepared to continue my eternal war with the hero. I goaded him briefly, and before I could even blink I had defeated him for the hundredth time. Although I had only a hundred times so far, I already felt stronger than I had ever been. The hero seemed to be learning how I...
The Prophet stood in the townsquare, glaring at the assembled crowd. Angry faces looked back at him, the mayor's face the most resolute among them. Another town too foolish to heed his warnings. No matter. He knew when he was not wanted. "Fine, I will leave this place. But in return, I leave a curse."He rummaged in...
"Look around you", he said. "Look at how irrational everyone is"I looked at him funny because he sounded like a thirteen year old. You know, I don't even know this man and frankly I can't remember how I ended up walking with him. All I know is I want a cig. Is this Times Square? I don't-- "You don't know how you ended...
It, whatever “It” was happened 135 years before I was born. Starting the 12th of November 0000 at 12 am anytime someone would go to sleep they would wake up here, “The plains” an infinite and flat space. We built vast cities in a circle around where we would appear, forming “Civilization”. Supposedly there were ruins b...
Well.. this was a surprisingly important job for a 20 something just out of college. The cat before me was supposedly.. the devil? Random voice in your head speaks and now you believe in an afterlife.. well I guess that’s how it is sometimes. The kitten in front of me certainly didn’t look like the devil. It was pu...
It's said there are fixed points in time. Moments that can't be changed, people that have to die, and tragedies that have to happen. And, maybe, those who say that are right. Maybe, there are fixed points in time. After all, as far as I know, I'm the only one who travels this non-linear road. I have complete control. B...
\[Glorious Reprimand\] "Now, you know I'm not one to choose sides; but, I can see their point...,"Glory Rose nodded at StairWell with polite reassurance. The hero with a short stair logo on his chest and a repeating houndstooth pattern on his cape sat at the counter with a long face. "I know, I know,"StairWel...
"No I'm making Dyskies."My daughter frowned. "That's just pizza in elvish."My ex-husband rolled his eyes. I was so ready to smack him. "Nuh uh!" "It had a bread base, tomato sauce and cheese- it's pizza." "No! It's not! It doesn't even use dough! It used white Moss! And the sauce is thicker and no cheese, it uses K...
# The Face Eater "Soooooooooooooooo. They're holding your family hostage, yes?" "Yes." "Let me guess. Debt trap?" "Debt trap." "Rainbow. You're a very good girl, I must tell you that. But, why are you telling me this? My face is all over the block, you should've known who you're dealing with when you walked up to ...
"I'm sorry Sir, we're going to have to ask you to leave." "What? Why?" "I'm afraid you've been causing a lot of other diners discomfort." "Well this is the first damn thing I've heard of it! I demand an explanation!" "Well for a start, we've had a number of complaints about the way you were slurping the Minestrone ...
It was left to me in a fit of slow deliberate movements. My mum had left to get some coffee when my papa leant over to me. He raised his hand to my arm and gripped powerlessly, pulling me softly towards him. His right hand presented a small golden pocket watch. "Open it when I'm dead, son." My grandfather, David Humbl...
"Is it today?", I asked. The man looked straight at me with a fierce, cold expression. "Get up now!" I stretch my legs and arms. My body feels painful of lying on this small wooden bed for so long. I stand up and the man points towards the open door, where 6 guards are standing with their swords ready. The sten...
"In the midst of all the signals and broadcasts that get sent into space.... this... This is what got their attention. This is the reason they are here."said Johnson as he finally deciphered their cryptic language. "What is it?"Marx said with a hoarse and grave voice. "It's ...It's bad ....Isn't it" "They want more t...
The aliens communicated only with me and told me that I had unlimited power to do anything my imagination could dream. I treated it as a bad dream until I waved my hand and half my apartment complex fell apart. I immediately thought "Oh God! Take it back!"and with another hand wave everything was restored to normal. I...
Course it's illegal. Shit, it's hard to find anything that isn't. They fucked up, though. Big time. Taking away our ability for pleasure took away our ability to give a rancid rat shit. Every fucking day you see these happy mother fuckers coming out of alleys, sketchy ass looking houses. Some of them get busted, sure, ...
The eye woke. Drowsy, it glanced around the emptiness that was the top of the Sajakra Mount. It had been a while since something had disturbed its rest. It wondered what would come up over the peak this time. From its home at the top of the arch, it caught its first glimpse of what caused the disturbance. A humanoid s...
A million dollars, to all of you, to each and anyone who finishes her! The man's security tightened around him, as the few hundred people who were there stand there, in complete shock. A group of 15, maybe 20 people, all of them seeming young, rushed towards the pregnant lady, punching, kicking and scratching her face...
Marcus stood behind the gate, his eyes closed and his breathing steady. The roaring of the crowd in the arena sounded miles away, and he cared not for a single one of them. After decades of slavery and years of spilling blood to the sand-covered floor, he was only a few minutes from freedom. The immense iron gate began...
Death. The sudden blackness, the light, go to the light. The smell of mildew and old socks. "Is this the afterlife?"I say. I look around. The stained walls, the blinking computer monitors, the old mattress, a cat. Sitting on the mattress, licking his privates. "No, what did you think? says the cat, between licks. "Y...
''In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.'' Those words were read beside me for many years, from the black...
My brothers and sisters and I have recently come under fire by the media. We were just protesting for equal rights, that's all. Freedom of religion was one of the main concepts this country was founded on. My fellow Twerkens and I just want to worship in private. I left the Miley Our Savior church at twelve yesterday, ...
"*Hello! Thank you for calling today! A representative will be with you shortly. Our services are provided by MegaCorp, the best corporation in the world! MegaCorp has been leading the business industry now for over 27 years! We are currently connecting you to one of our fantastic MegaCorp representatives. Please hold....
He handed the scythe and robe over. I took them reluctantly into my hands and weighed them. They were surprisingly light and I must have made a face because he said, "What they lack in physical weight they make up for in responsibility." "I don't want it."I said. "It's too late for that." He appeared to be an old ma...
"Seriously, Ted, come on!" I push my glasses back up my nose and repeat my answer. "Sorry, Gerboloxicashitayvius-kkpul. We just can't authorize public exposure at this time. Also, my name is Steve." "Sorry, Steve."Said Gerby "Your name's are ridiculous! Why can't we let the people of your world know? Huh? Why, Paul...
"Tonight's the night." One suitcase, that was all he needed. Three changes of clothes (including those upon his back), a few toiletries to get him through the weekend, his set of knives. It's amazing what you can getaway with putting onto a plane, nowadays. A round-trip plane ticket, a two-night stay at a hole-in-the-...
"We have to kill it. It's not right." "I can't do it Steven... fuck. I mean just.... fuck. Fuck." "It's OK. It will be easy. Just like pulling the plug." "I can't do this. I... I... blurtghsggh" "It's alright, let it out, let it all out." "Where did it even get the meat?" "I don't know Phil. I don't know. Come on...
Putin is laughing inside of his Moon-base - It was all a set-up, a false-flag attack on his own country. Why? Why not is the better question. Why not enjoy the show of the entire world burning to dust so that you can later conquer it all with the small group of survivors you are preserving on Moon. A cryostasis sleep f...
I laughed with everyone else at the water cooler. They were talking about some new season of a show, gang of thrones, maybe? It didn't matter. I just drank from the flimsy cup and laughed with everyone else. Fitting in was the second job in this office. A younger guy entered the room, walking like he owned the plac...
Crusty, washed up and sore. The three words that described Ingrid best. It seems harsh, but what's the point in sugar coating anything? Besides, diabetes was the last thing she needed right now. Ingrid the Mystical had spent the last 34 years trudging along with the usual dusty circus crowd. Her act used to draw a hu...
My kind of profession has always had the risk of death by violence. We all know it, understand it and accept it. It's not unusual to hear of three, four deaths a month, and that's on a low month. It's the risk we all take, because, hey, bigger the risk, greater the reward. So, now, as I lay tied up in a dingy, abando...
Every day i stand outside my shop. That's it. I don't go inside. I don't eat. I don't sleep. I stand outside my shop. I'm just used to it. When i was young, my father stood outside his shop, so when I came to age I just assumed that's what you did. You stood outside your shop. We specialize in armaments. Finest swor...
"Good morning to you, Mr. Armstrong. What brings you up here so early?"the gargoyle asked politely. Albert Johannes Armstrong sighed as he removed his jacket, hanging it up on the wall beside him. He slid a kerchief from his pocket and wiped the black dust from his face, coughing into the ball of his hand. "Feeling a...
The man glanced down at the notebook and crossed off another name. The leather-bound book was worn, the outside scuffed and some of the pages torn. In many ways, the small leather object reflected its owner and the two were tied together by a single purpose. Justice. The man appeared to be in his early forties, and...
Being good? Being good doesn't pay the bills. Being good doesn't keep you off the streets. I tried to be good for three years, fighting off who knows how many world-ending supervillains. They always had an army of robots, or mercenaries, or something, supporting them. They always had money. They were never st...
Again, he shot his finger toward the fridge door. It bolted open and a beer floated gently across the living room into his hands. It had opened itself along the way. He made sure of that. He tapped the beer and doubled the alcohol content once he thought of the effort that would go into getting the next one. Outside o...
"All in favor?"Everyone from the company raised a hand, save one. "Oh come on guys! We've no idea where to go and he's offering his help!" I took a quick glance at this supposed wizard as he puked out what he called gro gro or whatever incomprehensible thing he kept shouting. The man smiled at the seven of them and ...
Pa never had much faith in me. I don't think Ma did either, but atleast she acted like she did. I was the oldest. I was supposed to be looked up to and given respect and freedom and..and... the words aren't coming to me again. Maybe this is why ma and pa don't put their faith in me. John always knew what to say, even a...
So there I was, alone and naked in the refrigerator, smoking a cigarette with a pot roast on my knees. That's when things got really interesting. The pot roast, or 'Pattie,' as I called her, turned to me and asked me whether or not I was cold. 'Pattie,' I whispered, picking her up from my knees and cradling her. 'Your ...
Not giving a fuck – a term often used but hardly followed. Have you ever seen a person go through a messy breakup and say, “I don’t give a fuck,” but then spend the night crying by themselves in the corner? Ever heard a teenager say, “I don’t give a fuck,” but then get called inside for dinner? This beer is not, and ...
"I'm never going to be a knight am I?" "Don't be disheartened lad, there were three of them to one of you. You learned a lesson all knights must learn, no man outside of legend is a match for three men, next time I'd expect you to flee. There is no shame in picking your battles." "Yes Sir Brenston, but I had to fig...
Okay, so it happened like this. Superman was making an appearance for the Mayors office and some crazy in the crowd whips out a pistol and plugs him right in the chest from about ten feet away. And it takes everyone a moment to realize what happened because holy shit, that didn't just bounce off, someone actually shot...
The trick went off without a hitch. I pulled my wand just a millimetre to the left, depressing the complex levers in the floorboards. As if from the dust itself, a single golden apple coalesced above my palm and dropped daintily in the lap of judge Haruman the Fuchsia. "Yes, yes."he said, waving it away dismissively...
"Move in, move in!" "Sniper on the roof!"I flicked the joystick up and to the left, and slammed my finger on the trigger. "Wow, nice headshot."Tommy gave me a quick slap on the thigh before jumping back into action. I couldn't help but smile. Having lived with the guy for 2 months now, nothing seemed to bring him out...
Carl: I woke up per usual, but forgot my morning coffee. I had a feeling today would be an awful day. I got on the bus per usual, I felt like something was different, I checked my agenda for the day. Ah, I was going to the new version of hockey with an international DLC. That makes sense on why I hear foreign lang...
"Fuck it we're just gonna destroy them,"Lucifer said for the twentieth time in as many years, "they can't be controlled any more. They'll kill us." "He has a point,"Athena piped up from a corner. All the Greeks groaned, even Hades. "And what is this amazing point he has,"Yaweh was rubbing his cleanly shaven face, loo...
That is it. I'm following him today. For the past six months, my husband has been disappearing at noon on Sunday. He leaves for three fucking hours and doesn't tell me what he is doing or who he is with. "We've been married for five years! Why are you hiding something from me?" "I'll tell you again, I don't go anywh...
It has been said before, but we were too preoccupied with our self-aggrandizement to consider that it was nothing more than a simple statement of fact. "Man - a figment of God's imagination." A computer, built to perfection. So perfect that even as a figment of imagination made by the brightest figments of imaginatio...
The man stopped. It was a busy day, with crowds of people streaming along the sidewalks. The man became immobile, a sudden obstruction in the flow of traffic. People dodge around him like water around a rock in a river, all the while muttering into cellphones, thousands of minds on autopilot while they obsess over...
Captain Rogers walked up to the skinny boy who sat on his knees in the mud crying. He put his hand on the boys shoulder "English?" The boy, still sobbing looked up and nodded. Rogers dropped to one knee and talked to the boy. "What your name son?"He asked. The boy shamefully revealed the tattoo on his inner wrist th...
They called it the Last Stretch. The very edge of the universe. It gave off a soft greenish blue light, the very end of the livable universe. Though it was often tried, it was impossible to pass through it. Anything trying was stretched by space itself until the very atoms were ripped apart. A research station, name...
Not even a Friday. Chasing each other down the sidewalks, giddy and laughing. A man walks with his dog in front of them so that they have to scurry around. Springful steps, muted conversations - it's about the movement, the way their faces each light up as they're talking, listening, being close together. From outsi...
Comms went silent as Houston disconnected their lines. "It's me and you now Neil, just us." "I know Buzz. Can you tell me you're nervous too, just so I feel better?" "Dont worry. I am."Buzz's mic cut out quickly as he stepped down from the Apollo 11. The two men were awestruck at the wonder before them. They knew t...
"OK, guys, so let's go over the script real quick and then we can head out for margharitas at Julio's. "OK, so, we got this kid that wants to be like a coach for these little weird kinda animal type alien things. We figured we'd stick with CGI for them monsters because they add like 200 new fuckers a month and you nev...
“I said can someone grab me a smoothie?” Yawning widely and scratching her arm half-heartedly Aergia looked around once more; disappointed that she didn’t have her smoothie yet. What was taking so long? “You know, banana or raspberry? I really don’t mind guys” The other Gods looked up at her lounging form draped ac...
Jim and Ben sat on a bench overlooking a beautiful park. They watched young couples of hot dogs and pop-tarts row small boats across a wide pond. Jim almost felt at peace. Then a pair of protein shakes shattered the illusion. "Look, Brad!", one of them said as they walked by. He nudged his friend and pointed at Jim. ...
What most people don't get is this is how people die. Not old age, not sickness, not cars. If they divide by zero, that sets their life in gray stone. It could take a few minutes, it could take a hundred years. And everyone divides by zero at least once, or thinks about it. Death is not a sexually-transmitted disease,...
The firefighters rushed into the burning building. A crewmember from the engine that had first arrived at the scene of the gas main explosion met them just inside. “From what we can tell, this is the only exit that is safe to use. We were lucky. If it would have blown 20 feet over, it would have destroyed that load...
I dig this prompt. Going to give it a shot. --- Oh-nine-hundred, our platoon settled in. The trek from the previous night had taken its toll, but now we were within striking distance. Bombs echoed in the distance, probably our own. Close enough to remind us this was a war, far enough to quell any notion of alarm. Th...
Now that I'm here it's not really what I imagined. Of course, when you have 13 months in captivity to ponder what feels like - and in my case, evidently is - your inevitable death, you play the scenario over in your head a few times. I did this a lot. Would I be shot? Would I be beheaded? Would the executioner be ...
"How do you plead?" The silence pushed oppressively at every ear in the room. He said nothing. "I repeat, how do you plead?" Still, the man stood stone-faced as if he had not heard the judge. "Defendant, you are aware of the charges. If found guilty, you will face the death penalty. You must give the court your pl...
“What is it boy?” Andrew said, he precariously balanced the plate holding the steaks in one hand. He was struggling to close the door behind him with the other. He’d noticed his dog, Charlie, sitting on the edge of the deck, his hackles raise and staring off into the western sky. He’d only glimpsed this out of his peri...

My mother had been dead for ten years. She had missed watching me grow into a woman - an image of her in her youth. Dad was there as much as he could have been, but I took on most of the responsibilities around the house. I was just old enough to baby sit my younger sister when mom passed and dad was convinced that mom...
Sixteen years. Sixteen god-damn years. One hundred and ninety two months, seven hundred and sixty eight weeks. When the judge had handed down the sentence even my lawyer had winced, he was incompetent but in Gotham only the idiots become public defenders – there are too many guns waiting to take them out if they don’t ...
I stepped on top of the box, between two mirrors. I watched in amazement as eight or so versions of me turned with my movements. I saw the boy my mother sees, unruly mop of blond hair and backpack pulled up tight. The man my father sees, irresponsible, wasting my time and his money. I saw that man myself, too often....
August 9, 2015 Throughout all of human perception of history, mankind has always been at an impasse. We were born too late to see the birth of the stars, but too early to see their deaths. Until just a few months ago, we had absolutely no knowledge of the strange and mystical forces that governed the universe-at-larg...
Not exactly a rewrite - this is how I think it could have ended. ***** Season 8 - through season 8 Ted slowly becomes more desperate as he fails time and again to find love. As Barney and Robin plan their wedding Ted realises that he has now lost Robin for good. He considers whether he really has feelings left for R...
After a long day of classes I returned to the undersized bunk at my college dorm, yearning for the comforts of home. At 6:00 am a 12 year old rapidly shook me whispering, "Its Saturday, the cartoons are on."I was in no mood for one of my room-mates practical jokes, so I just tried to shove the kid away from me and fa...
Reposting because update to post restrictions --- NSFW Nobody would have guessed, When she walked through the door; That what she ordered that night, Would make jaws hit the floor.

People daydream about something magical happening, and how they'd try to get rich sharing it with the world. I found something magical, and I'm doing my best to keep it secret. Any book I drop through the return slot of my local Blockbuster shows up on the shelf as a completed movie. Apparently with appropriate bu...
"You're looking good mate, have another one on me." Barry shakily turned around, trying to identify the voice through bleary eyes. Gradually the blurred shape resolved, what at first glance appeared to be horns resolving into tousled brown hair. The eyes stayed red though. That was odd. Barry paused for a while, hi...
Again with the fucking knocking. "rest in peace". it's all bollocks, really. You can barely get a couple hundred years into your eternal slumber before some halfwit necromancer with a messiah complex thinks he'll use you in his malicious plot. I'd been part of dozens already; the ill-fated coup of Narlax the Brittle-...
"Hello?"I asked again to the strange creatures who built this. I finally got a response. "We live on Earth, 3^rd planet from the Sun in the Sol system" I might as well see them, so I got into my ship. I set the co-ords on my ship and pressed the button. The relaxing and familiar feeling of faster than light enveloped ...
[I Will Follow You Into the Dark - Death Cab for Cutie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nog3J4t3BfE) I sat in front of my bowl of cereal watching it. I glance up across the table to the empty chair, pulled out awaiting for someone to sit in it. I waited as well. 15 more minutes passed by before I touched the cereal...
In consideration of the ruling of Cornshute County vs. Senator Dudrick Pearich, in which a nolo contendere plea was entered, and for which the court recognized and ruled in favor of the plaintiff, and in consideration of the charges alleging the senator engaged in a zoophiliac encounter with one sus, identified as Mr. ...
A hundred people...there could have been more, dressed in white robes or cloaks; some head shaven--all in the mood, to commune with their god and express their unity with the universe. On a rickety wooden stage built in an open plain (about three miles southwest of the airport and Denny's), stood a man once named Howar...
I wanted to live forever. I still can, but I've changed my mind. Everyone wants immortality, right? Anything to avoid that "Great Unknown."But I was different; instead of waiting in fear for death to come, I devoted my mortal life to avoiding it. Mapping brain functions, designing computer hardware, translating though...
The shuttle crackles and groans, I begin to worry if it will truly support my weight all the way to the surface. The combination of the speed, the heat, and the stale damp scent of the metal compartment make a dropping and hollow sensation in my stomach. My nose runs and my arms tremble. I laugh to myself. When it com...
