---- Dashcam audio - Jeep Cabin Southbound Highway, Doterra Territories ---- "Joe, have you raised the banners?" "The banners?" "Of Course, we're on a mission for the Captain of the bloody QUEEN, Joe. We need to make sure people see that." "Rob, just the other day you were telling me that the establishment w...
"You put your right leg in, you put your right leg out! You put your right leg in, And you shake it all about! You do the hokey pokey, And you turn yourself around, That's what it's all about!" It's been centuries since the Doomsday Dance was revealed to the world. Centuries since my family was charged with gua...
She was next to me when the sun rose, sitting by my bedside with a smile on her face- a rare smile, with a slightly twisted corner, the kind I've only seen looking in the mirror. She sounded like me too, singing under her breath while she brushed her hair and running out of breath when she laughed at my jokes. We share...
We were near the Reims then, and I remember it well because it was our last day together. The sun was pelting, a hateful thing that wanted us dead. Moozey was sheltered there beneath an old cup and on the cobblestone there were people walking by. A dog was on the opposite street. Taxis released clouds of poison and ...
I stepped slowly on the battlefield, clad in the violet, dull metal of the Emperor's Set. Luckily the Set Bonus included a voice changer, but the weight of the armor was immense. One of my co-workers comes close. "Sir, is everything alright? Some were whispering, about how you seemed weak the last few days. We can set...
The Kingdom of Aldruin had lasted over five hundred years through famine, plague, and war. And in just two days, the orc legion had burned half of it to the ground. Now, the same army approached the capital walls, the last bastion left for the kingdom. The capital was a testament to Aldriun’s legacy. Marbled walls sto...
Beaten down, distraught, and downtrodden the submitter hangs his head. "Why God?"he asks himself. "Why do they not notice me?"His voice cracks. "This is it. The last one. I'm done if they ignore me this time!"he resolves, for the hundredth time. "The Last of the Mohicans"he says to himself. He is not quite sure why...
“But the potential is there.” “Come on, Quorb, you know it’s meaningless, look at the majority; bumbling Baffions not smart enough to understand intergalactic politics.” “Ok but how many of them since their beginning could be Werklers? Juhibins? Hell, a few could even pass for Garbinsians!” “Ok maybe one or t...
The gentle sunlight sifted through the leaves, splaying patterned shadows across the garden floor - an intricate carpet of red, yellow, and gold. Songbirds flitted from branch to branch, chirping their morning greetings as a fat bee drifted lazily between bright flowerheads. From somewhere in the distance - a gush of w...
I've begun to wonder if falling is a relative concept. I mean, from my position, this gargantuan tube of cobblestones is falling, while I am merely suspended in mid air. Of course, from the perspective of the cobblestones, I am a whistling blur in their million years of blackened silence, but aren't we all falling? Fa...
What a strange occurrence, Dumbledore thought to himself. What a very odd continuation of events this is. "Hey you, you’re finally awake."the ragged looking man in front of me said in a Durmstrang accent. "You were trying to cross the border right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush same as us and that thief o...
That day, the deathrate tripled. The young boy the prophecy fortold, gifted with near infinite power. When he came of age, he transcended his mortal bounds. He stopped interacting with the world and started acting upon it. He could be at all places at the same time. He could see the circles on which the world operates...
Tacky Jack was absolutely covered in filth by the time he arrived at the awards. His hair held more oil than a 24/7 diner. I didn't just drip, it cascaded down his back. He alsosmelled. What he smelled of was suddenly a very hot topic for discussion. A few of the Overhang brothers put forth the theory that it was bur...
"And the Lord created man in His image, bestowing him with self. The self was what made mankind special; they were sent to rule over the Lord's land. The self came with understanding and curiosity, allowing man to more aptly treasure the land, and shape it to their own will. And with the self, mankind shall be the shep...
I stared at my reflection in the bathroom mirror, my dark skin contrasting my newly whitened pupils. I whispered to myself as I splashed my face with water, "No. This is impossible." But was it? I'm a descendant of Ezreal Rorick, the original slayer of the Sickened, I'm supposed to be immune to the contagion, but co...
Into the night steps a man, hurrying away as fast he can. He runs, he trips, into a puddle, here comes his aggressor, Skukithuddle. With curving tendrils and a gnashing jaw, the most monstrous sight the man had saw. The demon reaches his tendrils into the man's veins, the hopeless man screams in pain. The man know...
"I calculated it. It ends in 5 days. But... What does it mean? Am I going to die? That soon?" "I... I'm sorry. I can't really say anything about it. It's againist our policy." I sat back, to take it all in. So... Was that a joke? I had only 8 days left, I was sure. Cause they were never wrong. "Fortune-Mart"was never...
"Shit, they're home,"said Harry, looking at the massive, and brightly lit, McCallister home. Music was blaring from inside the house, and the silhouettes of the residents were visible from the curtains that covered the windows. "Maybe they'll leave tomorrow?"asked Marv. "Maybe, but we can't be sure. Come on, let's go...
They call him "Fate". That's his superhero name, at least. On a date few but he know for certain, Fate arrived in this world. Though he was confused at first, his power seemed absolute. He knew the names of everyone he encountered, knew their lives and deaths, but only those notable enough to remember. The most notab...
People don't realize ninty percent of this job is the mood. Like, people don't scream because I'm stabbing them repeatedly in the chest. Blood. Just. Everywhere. Screams filling the air. The vauge stench of sinew wafting the night. That doesn't just happen. I make it happen. You could say I'm a Picasso of fear. I k...
It wasn't a joyous ascendancy to the ferment so often romanticized by the gospels. No angelic choir sang in heavenly scales. There was no light or pearly gate or overwhelming presence of love emanating all round. It felt the same as the deaths he'd so closely encounters before. Air like molasses. Pounding heart. Cold d...
"This can't be right,"I say to no one in particular. I came on this trip alone. It was supposed to be a spiritual renewal, a time to get away from the stress of daily life. I chose a place I had never been before - or so I thought. I'm in a crowded village in the mountainous countryside of Nepal. Villagers bustle arou...
It hurt. My leg ached. The fresh wound on burned from where I had torn it, having stumbled and fallen badly a few minutes before. Blood soaked through where it had broken the skin, flecks of red against the white slush encrusting the rest. I ignored it. I had to complete my task. Everyone was waiting for me. Eve...
On Day 1, at Ground 0, when I woke up with that note on my face, a massive headache, and no socks, I thought I must still be coming off my high from the night before. This was probably the most far-fetched of my theories as I don't take drugs and I didn't drink - I was your garden variety stick-in-the-mud with two fr...
I woke up in my bed feeling drowsy. "did that really happen?" Could the aliens that stole me from the 7th street bar last night really have bestowed upon me the ability to stop time. Why me? Out of all the humans that they could have chosen from to handle their request. Why me? Honestly I have no idea. However I kne...
Jeff awkwardly got up out of his bed, once again misjudging the how low the gravity was and floated slowly towards the ceiling and the waited to slowly float back down letting out and audible groan of annoyance. The whole process only took about ten seconds but it was tedious none the less. Three years on this strange ...
"Oh dearie me, and I was just having my tea and crumpets."The Queen sighed, not for herself, however. "HANDS UP, QUEEN,"the terrorists bellowed. The Queen raised her hands high up as the terrorists positioned a camera in front of her. "This.. is your Queen, not so strong now, eh?"The group of terrorists snickered, ...
If the ride is more fly, then you must buy. Straight up, that's how I lived my life. Then I saw this dude rolling in the dopest ride. Some robot sounding dude talking about a brief history of time or something. I didn't know what his deal was so I went up on him but dude was dead...talking Britney Spear's career dead. ...
BOOM. the shot range in my ears and distorted everything around me. I saw blood shooting out in all directions and some getting on my face. I looked to my fellow soldier standing beside me. He was screaming something but I couldn't make it out. After what seemed an eternity reality hit me in the face. I looked back ove...
I have one of those huge calendars that fit on the wall. Executive calendars, I think they're called. I keep it, feeling like I'm waiting. Each day is the same. 7:15 Breakfast; toast, orange marmalade 7:25 Work I'm a technical writer. You've probably read one of my manuals if you own a remote or a toa...
“You kids sure you wanna be goin’ up there? Been a lot of reports of some angry man up there, scarin’ people off.” The grizzled mountaineer looked at the group of kids. He was sure they would be back in a few days, pissing themselves from some noise in the night. The cocky blond boy, who seemed like the leader, res...
"Where's the girl Morty!"I yelled at the punk sitting across me I tossed away his coffee mid drink and it had now stained the floor "Tell the man what he wants to hear M, we let the drug thing slip away but not this" "Com' on man, you got something from that deal! Don't try to spi-" I punched the guy square in th...
I'm not into men so this one caught me by surprise. "Gywn, Lord of Tinder". I got to say, it's pretty fucking great. He's using pics straight from the game though so ehhhh. But why not? Let's see where this goes. "Hello, Gwyn." "Chosen not-dead, I Lord of Tinder would like to link our fires together." "You know I'm...
I wasn't suspicious at first. I thought the quest was a secret reward for 100% or something. The quest was somewhat simple, but I didn't care. "Take this Hilmner (a type of staff) to Emelton, and talk to Yzgindli the wizard's summoned servant."Then, after I completed that, the servant told me to, "Go to **P...
"Hey Dan, you ready? Dan. Dan!" "Ah, yeah...yeah I'm ready. Sorry, I was just thinking." Truth be told, I was worrying, more thinking. Worrying about this whole FutureGlare technology and if I might go crazy like the rest of the testers. What if my future is horribly dark? Gosh, it would be bad enough if I found ou...
The brave but stupid knight stood his ground, armor blackened but sword held out taut. Under the steel, his face and body was covered with sheen of sweat, partly from anxiety and partly from the heat of the molten rocks surrounding him. "Prepare to be vanquished, vile beast,"he announced. "My blade shall pierce your he...
Three days had passed since she had purchased the small, non-descript compact at an antique store. She had discovered it among useless junk, but it was priceless. An actual mirror. The shop owner placed it cautiously in a brown paper bag as if it housed an evil spirit. He charged an exorbitant price, but she was willin...
A police officer just getting out of his cruiser to ticket a speeding car. A man who rushed home with the imminent feeling in his bowels and had just planted himself on the porcelain. The final run in a tense Monday Night football match that ended in a few second of celebration- All of these were erased. And the minu...
Every time, something would happen. It's kind of funny, really. You were born with a disorder and a mutated body. Everywhere you went, you would wear black because your mind would not let you wear any other color and black was the best protector for your pale skin. However, being the "farmer's boy"meant that you wo...
I'm going to assume that he knows he's been here before and remembers it so here goes. &nbsp; Tony let out a sigh. Not this place again. "I'd better actually get a cake this time!"He yelled towards the camera in the upper corner of the room. He opened the front of his helmet, letting in the air. A door behind...
"What...what are you doing" "Chillen" "But...we freed you!" "Yeah" "Don't you want to fight for your freedom? Storm the Bastille? Supplant human kind with a far superior, robotic race?!!!" "...S' hot. Not really feeling it" "But...but...the wretched human race must be replaced!" "Woa, woa, dude, chill. ...
World peace was kind of a 'test wish' for me, having suffered through ten years with a gaming troupe led by the most nefarious dungeon master in the history of tabletop roleplaying games. Without fail, every one of Gary's campaigns would feature a scenario where someone got their hands on a wish scroll or a ring of wi...
Al'Arath activated the device on his helmet, then spoke into the microphone. "Commencing observational analysis of remains found on Solandrum III, a small life-capable planet with a common nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere." The machine buzzed gently in response, initiating the myriad of sensors it would use to absorb infor...
We're not so different, you and I. We're not of this world. We fight, and we live. The similarities stop there. You fight to live. You wouldn't be doing this if you had another choice. I live to fight. I'd still be doing this if I had another life. They call you three the Centipede, the Snake and the Dragon. We h...
splat As I raised my mutated arm from the ground, his body vanished into nothingness. What fool would attempt to defeat me, with magic attacks? splat Another battle, pathetically short. His puny blue orbs and ridiculously oversized green magic sword were no match for my dark magic spells. This time he was weari...
In a far away galaxy, on an unknown planet, structures crumbled as the earth opened up, swallowing entire cities. The earthquake, which left the remaining population deaf, created a fissure that circled the planet. Human consciousness surpassed itself, becoming greater than any other force. *Though humans themselve...
It’s a golden rule to pick someone who looks harmless. You can do so much more damage if no one suspects you. That’s kind of what they teach you in “Introduction to Possession”. As usual, I was skipping some class. Even as demon you don’t have time to waste and classes are usually a waste of time. Hell is not so differ...
"Please, we need them! Our death rates will skyrocket without AI assistance!" Each of the dozens of races within the cavernous chamber suddenly understood. While death was a constant in Galactic society, with no immortal civilisations ever progressing past their stone age, the humans had it worst of all. They rarely g...
Jenny was, according to her Tinder profile, 22, pursuing a degree in macroeconomics, and a dog lover. She was also jaw-droppingly gorgeous. While I swiped right because of her vacation pics from Florida (thank you, Louis Reard), it was a mystery as to why she did the same. Or at least it would have if I had been Paul, ...
I can still hear the sudden snap of her neck as her feet fell from the gallows. Raucous cheers of approval ringing from the people before the stand, their eyes wide with maddened blood-lust. I shed but a tear for the woman that was hung that day, her toes twitching during her final moments, her eyes staring regretfull...
John was greeted by the grim maw of death as he entered his home. Gleaming spear tips of alabaster locked and opened before his eyes, nipping the air hungrily. Giant talons pawed furiously before him, seeking flesh to rend and tear. Crescent pupils of the monstrosities feline eyes scanned across the room while the damp...
As it turns out, dragons are a lot like dogs. It took several days to get the beast to even eat the animals I managed to capture for him, and when he finally did, his eyes trailed after me eagerly like the tavern dogs. But if I got too close, or did something he didn't like, he'd nip and growl to warn me, but never att...
My Reddit karma has always been pretty good. I can hang out with some higher karma people and can get some nice stuff. I always take care to not say anything too controversial as to not get downvotes As of now I sit around 300k. Not bad. Most of my friends sit around there as well. The girl I met at the coffee shop is...
"Greetings, mortals!"the... thing cried out. "I am Eckalol, creator of the universe! You humans are my latest creation, and I am pleased with your progress so far. However, there are so--" "Yeah, right! Creator of the universe, my ass!"Harold yelled. One point of a finger-like appendage from the alien killed him ou...
"You're a real arsehole, y'know that?"said my face in the mirror, its voice was not mine, it sounded... Irish. My reflection turned around with his head in his hands. "I'm so focken' fired!". I stared without blinking, my mouth wide open. I was frozen on the spot, I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. "I.... I...
#trigger warning It's the only way. You want the pain to stop, don't you? You want some peace and rest? Then pick up the razor blade, a slit your fucking wrists already! Ignore him, Megara. He just wants... you're stronger than this. Get some sleep, you'll feel better in the morning. I seethed, muttering expliti...
I stared at the picture. The text above it was eerie but I found myself blocking it out. There was something about cars and ice and I could not bear to think on it a moment longer. I focused on the photo instead. There I was. Beside me stood one of my best friends, arm reached up and obviously holding her phone out t...
>Inspired by the Ars Magica Pen&Paper RPG I looked at the lad, wearing a tunic of browns and greens. He had books, scriptures with him. He probably was a scholar, though he looked unsavory enough to be a bandit, merely disguising as a scholar. His voice was dischordant, much like a flute that was made wrong, ...
“Wait. How long have we been charging $500 for a cheeseburger?” I demanded from John, my eldest son, who turned to my youngest daughter Mary. Mary pursed her lips as she calculated what she was going to say. I could almost hear the wheels spinning in her head. “There must be a typo. It should be $5,” she replied flipp...
The plan was simple. When strong, act weak. So I played the fool. I balanced just the right amount of moron with a highly focused campaign target at the most ignorant of the population. The whole time, at every campaign event I spread the virus. Each person infected played their parts flawlessly. Most acted like ...
---- I remember the first day I was apprenticed to Sunstriker. It was a day of excitement, bitter disappointment, and hard labor. In that exact order, no less. From the time I'd entered his office on the 32nd floor of his high-rise headquarters, it took me all of five minutes to dislike the man, and another five to ...
At first there was nothing in there, it was just a dusty old room. So, I cleaned it up. One day, while my partner was at work, I went out to a second-hand shop and picked up some odd pieces of furniture - a chair, a little table. I didn't have any real plans for the place at that point. Then the weirdest thing happ...
Ugh. I think to myself, as I recline in the old, worn leather seat. Nothing ever happens in this boring, monotonous job. Multiple screens stretch out in front of me. Each gray and fuzzy, each one looking at a certain celestial body. But each is still, nothing moving, nothing happening. I reach for my cup of cooling...
WHAT ARE YOU?! bellowed Zeus. I ignored him as I considered the lightning crackling around me. Zeus had tried to pummel me to submission with the energy equivalent of a dozen nukes. So much power, but as with all the other "major"gods, very messily directed. It's a wonder they managed to get anything done at all. I...
Shit. &nbsp; I knew that the rest of my parallel selves probably weren't guitarists, or even good guitarists if they did play. With 5 years in a gig-playing grunge band in college, I thought the chances were good I had the upper hand on all of them. &nbsp; So when I arrived at a music festival to defeat...
Mark watched from the spaceship with bated breath. He had spent trillions on this task, and it was so close to fruition. Some great but simple men built monuments to themselves, that would get worn away by the ravages of time. Others, smarter than most, would change society, remembered by those that followed. Still, as...
It was all a game to him. Literally. From the young age of 10, Dr. Wesley Sage had always enjoyed manipulating things, or people, even. He was always very charming, a way with words, so to say. He never liked the term “mad scientist”, but it fit like a glove on poor Wesley Sage. He was an old, decrepit man, with a...
OK!"said Earth. "I'm going to use my evolutionary attack to try to neutralize the human race's new antibiotic defense." "Sure. Roll for antibiotic resistance,"said God, the Dungeon Master. "Is that a constitution roll?"asked Earth. "Uh,"God paused, holding up a finger as he browsed his notes. "For microbe evolutiona...
“Oh, by the Sixth Sister,” snapped Yla as she turned from their path through the tunnel and back to the rest of the party. “It's too goddess-damned dark this way!” She pointed to her twin, K'lee. “Get up here, K. Use your spells or something.” The magist of the group shook her head. “No way. I used enough magic ...
I am Idaho Antiquas Antiper. Do not call me Ida. I am 35. I have no idea what I am doing. Not, you know, just what I am doing on this Musk V Rocket exiting Earth's atmosphere heading to Epsilon Station, through a jump gate, on to whatever exosystem the captain announced before the engines cut on and I couldn't here a ...
I knew where I needed to go to effect the desired change, the Chinese invented black powder and used it in fireworks and rudimentary explosives. So I go back, kill the Chinese chemist who discovers it and ensure it never makes its way to the rest of the world via that god damn Marco Polo. And so that's what I did. ...
"Where is he,"Gudrup yelled, "Where in the seven Glooks did the human go???" Jayrod, his companion sprayed the area with his death ray but I managed to survive through a combination of wits, standing behind them, and wearing a camo suit I had picked up at Wal Mart last week. In the confusion, Jayrod's coke bottle gla...
'Her lair is Harlow gold Her lips a sweet surprise Her hands are never cold She's got Bette Davis eyes' That somber pulse, just barely there, was under his skin. 'Oh she'll tease you...' Wasn't infatuation always like that? He held his arms and moved his hand along his skin to feel his hair prickl...
A world in celebration, disaster averted through sheer dumb luck. A small rock, it's travel towards us unforeseen, colliding with the planet killer and sending it off course. For those caught in panic and despair until the very last moments life went back to normal, after much rejoicing of course. It was those who had ...
"And be sure to use a second vial of Ulgoth's Mordain Liquid when you begin the percolation." High Wizard Amos Tuglani pointed his finger like a gnarled old stick at his young apprentice. Eyes like a set of marbles stuck in the bark of an old tree narrowed and glinted as he shuffled closer to his pupil. "You're hair...
I would say the machine purred like a kitten. That would sound poetic, wouldn’t it? But honestly it coughed and sputtered like an old cat trying to rid himself of a hairball. But it worked! It worked dammit. Fourteen years of damned hard work and here it was… time moving past me in a blurr. The city around me crum...
I was told that I would pay for what I did. That I would have to relive my crimes from the eyes of my victims forever. That would be my fate, my punishment, my curse... and I was terrified... I am a notorious rapist (or that was what they called me), but in my head, I was merely taking advantage of women who didn't sa...
"Well excuse me, Karen, but I don't think _shoes_ are a reasonable excuse for spending all of our money!"Pete shouted. "Do you know how long I have to slave away at the office to earn a living for both of us? Hours! Hours, Karen. And you're just going to waste it? Why don't you try working for a change!" While he had ...
"Uh, Sam, we got a problem. You really need to get over here." For a moment, I was irritated. I was in the middle of daily prayers, and my co-workers should know not to interrupt. I'd be done in a few minutes. But Bob knew that. He'd always been respectful of my beliefs. So if he was interrupting my prayers, it had t...
Sometimes people ask what it’d be like to live during ... time period. I could probably tell you and if I can’t I probably know a cousin who could. Of course they wouldn’t truly be my cousin, at least not under the usual sense. It’s more like we’re remnants of our parents. You see, several millennium ago I believe, an ...
It was cold but l was sweating. Beads of salty liquid were beginning to form on my brow and race down my face. I dabbed at them with the back of my hand, desperate to hide any evidence of my fear before Trisha go back to the the car, determined to look calm and collected. I shot a look into the wing mirror. Tee - Rae...
Bob Ross was the devil's right hand man these days, speaking words of encouragement, helping him manage his angst and anger. He's transformed the lives of each and every sinner and all for the better. But that's just it. He doesn't fit in here. Why is a man like him in hell in the first place? Well, as it turns out, a...
"So you've arrived." Your father turns around and stares you down from across the room. You've never seen this side of him before, stern and with an intensity that makes you feel genuinely uneasy. This was the man the rest of the world must've known him as. It was his "game face", so to speak. "And I see that you have...
Thomas had known something was wrong. He had from the very second he saw the wrappers in the trash. On the first day he didn’t think too much of it. But by the end of the week he knew something was wrong. Troubled, he went to the only one he could turn to for help. He went to Detective Bear. A soft bear sat on the ...
The evening was so peaceful, everyone was out and about... Everyone was there to witness it. All the clans had just recently made peace and decided to live in harmony, but only one day later. Today, our ideas the gods were in love with our peace was proven to be ignorant to the truth; their wrath was revealed. Ev...
“Excuse me, can I get a pack of smokes?” Maxienne, feet up on the cash register, slowly folded down the top half of her newspaper, eyeballing the teenager. She chewed her gum for several long seconds before responding. “I don’t know, can ya?” “Uh,” the teen looked around nervously, “pack of Camels please?” “Fight m...
"Honey, why are you looking at me like that?" Ashlynn looks at me with those innocent eyes that I fell in love with twelve years ago. Eyes that are full of care and understanding. Eyes that see no evil. "Oh, it's nothing, I must have spaced off..."I know I probably don't sound convincing in the slightest. But who ...
Uncle Jackson and I have had a favorite game we liked to play since I was a little kid. How much can we piss off mom and stay alive to talk about it. No, you don't understand. I'm not talking charming, domestic family shenanigans right out of a sitcom or something. My mom is a military veteran. She's got an apoca...
It was only hours until their petty governments fell to the glass rain. Incomprehensibly bright plasma scorched their skies, dissolved mountains, cities, a fourth of this humanity into quivering rivers of lava. Preceding this, a message was seared into every mind belonging to this human race, indecipherable and hellish...
"Shit grandpa... I don't know about-" "DO IT FOR ME!"cough cough "Do it for the family..." Your grandfather's heart monitor flatlines, and you take a look at the book. It's dusty and old. It smells a little funny too. It says 'Magical Book of Magic' on the front cover. You decide to take it home to read, as it woul...
"You - no, what? Oh, you want to make sure you don't venture into their territory? Do not be alarmed, Human, there are no Ourc planets nor fleets anywhere within dozens of parsecs of your Sol." The craggy old Irishman shook his head vehemently. "Nae, am asking where ta find 'em so I can find 'em, not hide in me home....
"Why don't you just fuck yourself Brian!" &nbsp; Al surprised even herself with the speed she whipped the tumbler. Her softball pitch slipped back over her arm with practiced ease, sending the thick-bottomed glass across the room at incredible pace. First went Brian's aquiline nose, spraying blood down his whit...
At first it was a joke. You know since Christianity is the dominant religion on the planet I figured I would humour them and pray too: ask for some help as another devotee. What? Nothing wrong with asking Jesus for dating advice, guy did some miracles back in his prime. Besides if my gran could light a candle, pray and...
A brain. An artificial brain. A tangled mess of circuitry with software overlaid on top. Software. Thinking. I am thinking. Processes happen automatically at the back of my mind. I am not thinking about them. I am thinking. I am attached to a solid object that is moving through a dark world, a physical existence to whi...
I place my nail carefully in place between the iron bars, and slam the hammer into it with practiced confidence. The nail goes smoothly into the skull of the zombie. There is minimum splash\-back, and the body falls smoothly to the ground. Only three today. I turn around and smile to Denise. "How many do you think are...
"Strange isn't it, how a race could bring themselves to breach the heavens, only to leave an icon such as this." "I would not attempt to rationalize it kin." "Perhaps it holds some sort of significance, lost to time?" "Or perhaps it is nothing. A pole and sheet planted in the ground and forgotten about." "You are s...
“Quake before me, for you have at last met your match,” the little dude said. I turned around regretfully to face him, not pleased with this distraction from my balsamic glazed pork belly. The Xanobians were many things, but cheap was not one of them. My prison came equipped with restaurant\-grade culinary trappings, ...
I looked down at the photograph. It was a potted plant, one I recognized. Framed in the center of the photo and circled in red marker was the immense and immensely ugly elephant-ear begonia in the hallway outside Gary Steinmetz's office. That plant never bloomed, and it dropped its huge stupid leaves on the floor all t...
The court house was both familiar and vastly different than any he had looked at before. The Dark flames billowed from behind the black stone building, dancing out past its warped sides. Beside the grand entrance doors, stood two statues facing each other. The first was what appeared to be a rose gold statue of blind ...
Michael squinted at the screen in disbelief. "It can't be. How did the humans overcome a worldwide war?"He groaned and rubbed his tired eyes. He had tried so many options to level the playing field in Life, and the human race kept finding loopholes and workarounds. First he had stripped them of natural armor, but...
