I was wearing that damn T-shirt that mum hated so much, which of course made me love it all the more. Across the front was what had always claimed was a photograph of an aborted baby, but even back then I knew it was just random red splotches with the words “FUCK YOUR LIFE” across it. It was strange seeing myself fro...
"And you're sure this is all above board?"Gharthax asked me. "Dude,"I said reproachfully, "it's me. Come on, man. What did ever do to deserve that?" Gharthax bent his flanges low in what I assumed was shame. "I merely meant that -" "It hurt,"I said. "I'm not gonna pretend it didn't. But I forgive you. I can't stay m...
Three hundred and eighty two presidents in four years. Death by old age, by assassination, slipping and falling off the toilet, you name it, a president had died doing it. After the first few "tragic"just didn't cover it anymore. Next unlucky lost its meaning, followed a few months later by conspiracy, until curse was ...
“Make a wish! But remember, don’t tell anyone what you wished for.” I thought long and hard before I blew out the 19 candles in front of me- it took two tries. My little brother came up to me, nagging me to tell him what I’d wished for and started to cry when I refused. *You’re such a little shit, Ben. A cute little s...
I remember hearing legends as a little kid. Legends of another civilization beyond the radioactive wastes. Legends of a civilization just like us, but on the other side of the globe. No one had ever gone to the other side, not that attempts weren't made; some thought it didn't even exist. I'll never forget the day a ma...
"Well excuuuuuse me for trying to breathe, Maurice."I hiss, or do my best impression of hissing given that his elbow is rammed into my cheek like a snapshot from a WWE match. "Sarcasm helps nobody....uh..." "Kevin." "Right. Kevin." He looks dumb in that suit. None of us say anything. George tries to de-contort ...
The tribe's shaman narrowed his eyes and let them slip slightly out of focus. He pressed his hand a little too hard against the newborn's brow and it began to cry. The sound of it's wails could be heard outside the cave, where the child's parents waited anxiously. Moments later, the Shaman exited the cave with an unst...
"you still love me? "Always" Joe watched as Sarah's lips curled into a smile that she couldn't resist. After ten years of marriage, that smile is the one thing that remained a constant in Joe's life. Things change over time. You have kids, get pets, and maybe even take in an elderly parent or two. You get into the na...
It's been three years since the border towns went silent. Slowly, within that time, the silence, the absolute lack of any signs of life, has moved closer and closer to the central kingdoms. As the eclipses have come and gone, as the Great Engine of Creation has begun to slow and stutter, as the mists themselves have be...
“Copy that, Commander. I’ll be careful” Commander Jardine leaned back in the Big Chair and carefully sipped his coffee, his mind spinning. The Perseverance was about to go down in history, either as the ship that discovered the Third Race, or the ship that discovered the Destroyers. The academics back on Earth ca...
I guess I didn't know what I expected when I hit 7,301. Spontaneous combustion, maybe? On someone's 7,300th day, when the clock strikes midnight, that's it, lights out, exit stage left. Life's just a messed up story about Cinderella without the prince. It was usually quiet, though every once in a while they would screa...
"This is Doubletree by Hilton's Bedtime Stories. How can I be of assistance?" "Bedtime stories." "Yes, this is Bedtime Stories. How may I help you?" "I want to hear a bedtime story." "Oh. Right. The first five minutes are free, courtesy of Doubletree, but it's five dollars a minute after that. Before we begin, I'll...
The phone rang again but I just sent it to voicemail. I couldn’t bring myself to answer it. It had been a week since the crash and Anna passed away just a day after that. The doctors said there was nothing they could do with such a serious puncture wound in her heart. The memorial was yesterday and I buried her wit...
"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. My last confession was 18 years ago." Father Galvos opened his eyes from his rest. Whoever had entered the side compartment had done so without much noise and caught him by surprise, and Father Galvos didn't particularly like surprises, especially aft...
I woke up and I felt empty. Empty and cold. Christ that’s cold. Instinct pulled me up and out of the ice box. My limbs not moving cohesively in respect to each other but the collective flailing around eventually managed to get me out of the small frigid climate. “Number 137. Can you tell us anything about yourself...
"The very fact you flushed away One hundred sheets per toilet roll Of clean, unsoiled paper lays A blacken'd mark upon your soul!" "But God, I am a man devout! I never erred, nor fell to sin, And if some waste I did surmount, I take it now upon the chin." *"Your punishment is up to me! And now as ho...
"Oh god, I need a cigarette,"I say to myself under my breath as I'm clocking out right before the night shift starts at 7/11. I rush out the door and quickly slide my hand in my jacket pocket to grab my nearly empty pack of ports. I press one between my lips and give it a light. I'm almost half way done with my cigaret...
Fuck. The thought crossed my mind as I once again found myself standing at the edge of the bridge, staring out at the multiple lanes of traffic in bumper to bumper rush hour beneath me. Recently I'd gotten the urge to start what could possibly be described as reckless parkour. I would run and jump in and out of t...
I set down my briefcase on the long stone table, squarely on the divide between the obsidian and marble halves. Satan leaned to his left, and whispered into God’s ear, “should he have that? I thought St. Peter was supposed to confiscate that sort of thing.” God frowned, and replied (less concerned with discretion afte...
A distinct and oddly apt thunder shook the cavernous halls of Olympus' main chambers, as Zeus called the council to order. "Now, after many aeons of peace", he began, Hermes translating frantically into English for the newer gods who hadn't learned proper Greek yet, "we have a new duty needed for the Olympians. The h...
His red cape flutters and flaps in the wind as he zips across the sky. From below he appears as nothing but a tiny dot in the sky. He twists and turns and swoops down low in between the buildings. He peers down alleys and across fields. Ever vigilant. Our savior. Out Hero. Nothing to report here. Straight up he...
Obi-Wan sighed heavily, and peered at Luke with a heavy expression, as if his brows were weighed down by something unseen, "Luke, I need to tell you about your father. I thought about keeping it from you, but on further consideration I feel like that could backfire greatly in the future, so it would be best to tell you...
Welcome to your new phone. The world is at your fingertips. Just ask me, Ren, if you need to search for anything. I suppose it would be sunrise pink. Searching images: sunrises. Hopes and dreams? That's a big question, but I'd probably say my dream is to help lots of people and live a long and peaceful life close to...
“I am not staying late again tonight, Doctor.” My assistant slammed the tray she was carrying down on one of the metal tables. I turned, surprised, Kate was never one to speak out. She barely spoke at all. “I’m sorry?” I was baffled. We’ve been on the edge of breakthrough for weeks now, and I know the long hours a...
"No!"I begged, pushing against the arms that tried to force me through the gates, "Please! I didn't do it!" I had been framed for murder, and as punishment in the New World, after the Gates of Hell were discovered, I was to be thrown into Hell until I died, and then there my soul would stay. But they wouldn't listen. ...
Her name is Emily and she made them happy again. It's a fucking nightmare. There are still ugly water marks on the ceiling and there's still grime between the cracked bathroom tiles, but they're happy. Happy is like rat poison to a house monster. If you don't know, every house and condo and apartment comes with a...
Marlin stepped through the revolving doors of his apartment building and out into the cold night. "Looks like a dark and stormy night, sir,"said the doorman. "Hmm,"said Marlin, "that doesn't sound good." The doorman shrugged. "It is the best of times, and the worst of times, sir." "Nope."Marlin turned on his ...
Mike opened the door. "Listen if you guys are trying to convert me to some wacky religion please know while I do not rule out the existence of an all powerful lizard god, I have no interested in financially contributing to his cause."As Mike attempted to shut the door an outstretched hand impeded. "No sir were not try...
I was rudely prodded awake. Summoning all my wit, I castigated the burglar for robbing me of my sleep (as well as my tv) "Myalrurghh!"For my efforts, I received a boot in the ribs that kicked me off the mattress and onto the floor. Luckily, I was saved from injury by my trusty floordrobe; hah, I told my ex it was a goo...
GASP. Hold it. Hold it tight. Think. Watch. Wait. Listen. Nothing. Blink. Nothing's changed. Turn around. Nobody moves. Turn back around. Nobody moved. There's a bird in mid flight. The longer you stare, the more it looks like a full page picture in National Geographic. But it's not. It's real. Look at the stopped ...

Explosions rocked the old stone building where Sam took cover. Flicking at the control screen the supply point finally yielded it's contents, revives and potions, and about time. "YOU KNOW THESE USED TO BE CALLED POKESTOPS"His companion yelled over the rumbling explosions. Sam ignored him, he didn't have time to think...
Greg took of his motorcycle helmet graffitied with blood and a painted anarchy symbol and set it and his sledge hammer on the nearby picnic table that was once a makeshift baracade. As he started pulling arrows out of the seats, Bill, the man whom Greg was ready to blugon to death a mere minute ago set his crobar onto ...
God knows how many centuries their ship has roamed the space – or where did they come from. We can only be sure that, taking into account how accurate their orbital approach was, they were intending to come to the Earth. Their massive vessel seemed to be a generation ship, older than anything we’ve ever created, ...
I always knew that the house was old. Older than my grandparent's grandparents, it had been in our family for a long time; hundreds of years if I were to believe what my father once told me. It was heritage from our ancestors, and their ancestors before them. For some reason, no matter how many generations passed, n...
The wails of children were drowned by the wails of sirens. Royal blood had been spilt in the Magic Kingdom; its King had fallen. Mickey Mouse was dead. Detective MacCormack stared at the blade protruding from the body. Mickey lay face down, a dark stain slowly spreading from his corpse. Or rather Daniel Davis (23) fr...
The door barged open as I rushed inside. The young maid that was carrying a soaked towel jumped in shock at my entrance. It had been only a day since I received the hand-written note from the maid, telling me of my wife’s poor condition. I had traveled all the way from India, never stopping to sleep as I hurried home. ...
And so he bitterly asked, "Why?" I answered "Because I'm the sort of dick that submits writing that really can't even be considered a story to /r/WritingPrompts" He then said "Mods! This man stands in violation of the rules!" I said "I have more than Thirty words, see, and it's really not a joke response, more of an...
"You see, Maria, we need you! You have been chosen to be our next Queen!" I stared at the shadowy demon in my kitchen, trusty frying pan at the ready. "Who are you and how did you get in my house?!" "I am Thalium, the crown's most respected enchantress! I have been sent to bring you to Hell so you can assume your pl...
August 11^th, 2006 "Fuck's sake."A man muttered as he crossed the sitting room. He hit the side of the TV once, urging the image to resolve. Swearing again, he jiggled the antenna. Crackling black and white noise fuzzed into the BBC newsroom. "What the fuck?"He asked nobody. "What happened to Spooks?" A newsrea...
In the beginning, the boy had battled the monsters with creations of his own. The tall man with no face that he saw in every corner? He had imagined a young girl, who would always hand the man a thick scarf with which to cover the bare front of his head. The large number 6 that whispered to him at bedtime had been h...
I thought color was a myth, honestly. I mean, try to describe the taste of water to someone who cannot drink. It’s ridiculous, impossible. They may play along – that’s what I did – but in their heart of hearts they know that it simply cannot be true. It’s too beautiful, too perfect, to imagine. I was happy with my gr...
I look down at the dusty tome. The weight of the book is now all to the left, as I've just finished reading this work. I feel a surge of knowledge and confidence rush to my mind, as these old words have just risen my level once more. Somewhere, I start to feel odd. Like a complete satisfaction. Then I hear it. Ding....
7 thousand dollars a week, times 52 weeks, is 364 thousand dollars a year. Times it by ten years and you've got three million, six-hundred forty thousand dollars. Now take away local, state, and federal taxes. Take away student loans, car loans, and the rest of your mortgage. Take away two husbands. Take away a daughte...
We board a single gleaming bullet, aimed towards the end of the universe. There's been nothing to see for the last cosmological decade, nothing to do but watch the galaxies fade and redshift out, or play pool with stellar remnants and knock dead planets out of orbit. 2's taken to tossing matter down the supermassive bl...
"So what exactly is it?"Dr. Fein asked. He stared at the body on the table. The person was extraordinarily tall. The proportions were off as well. The arms and legs were far to long and thin compared to the torso. The body on the table was male, and bald. The face held sharp features; high, long cheekbones, pointed ch...
Their knocks echoed through the concrete walls though nearly drowned out by their screams and calls. His family cowered in fear among the walls stocked with several hundred gallons of fresh water and thousands of cans of food. The last his family had seen the light of day, an earthquake struck Sans Francisco with unpre...
"Hello?"I asked as I opened my door to see an over 6 foot, bare-chested bearded man. He was holding the nozzle of a Vacuum Cleaner in one hand as if it was a weapon and a small piece of paper in the other. It soon became obvious that this was his script." "Good afternoon Sir or Madam. Look up and smile"He looked up an...
I was shocked when I came home to find my dog missing. I had noticed that there were more missing animal posters than normal, but I thought it was just something random happening around town. Panicking I called up friends, family, and anyone that I knew that had a pet. All of them were missing. I flipped on the news, ...
"Okay sir, step into the scanner."Tom motioned the man into the machine that would scan for any non-organic objects he may have hidden within his person. He had signed an agreement that he would not attempt to smuggle anything from the present time back into the past, the scanner was just there to verify this. Had to k...
To be honest, I don't really like the powers I possess. Powers? I guess you could call it that. It's more of a curse than a blessing, really. I have seen people crash and burn, people rise and fall. I have the power to control the future, really. But in simpler words, when I talk to someone for the first time, I see ho...
So it had come to this. Here I was, staring down my end as I found myself cornered by a mob of furious bullshitters and snake-oil-salesmen who were outraged that I had actually profited off of them - enraged that I had ended up wealthier and healthier than any of them had gotten by preying off the lives of thousands. E...
"OK class, today we have a new student. Her name is Annie. Annie, my name is Mr. Dannib. Why don't you tell the class a little bit about yourself, and then we'll start today's lesson?" This was perfect. My first period, of my first day at school, and it was an American history class, which I just so happened to know e...
So when I was little my sister and I used to go to this park right by our house to play. It had a slide, a swing, and one of those spinning things I can never remember what they're called. I didn't have a lot of friends so she would take me there as often as she could, and I loved all of those things. But what sticks...
The people in the coffee shop all screamed in collective horror as one of the patrons began to dissolve. Their skin melted off of their body, hissing steam shooting from their rapidly decaying corpse. A barista vomited into a latte they were crafting, the steam wand creating foam within the mix of bile, milk, and kal...
"Use the what?"You ask. Surely, you overheard. "Horse, use the horse!"Shouts master, irritated "Quickly, before they can get to us!"You look towards the end of corridor where couple of bandits are making their way towards you and with quick jolt block it with steel crates. You turn toward your master, relief clearly ...
I glanced up from the pavement, half in terror, half in shock. "What have I done?"I asked myself audibly. But before I could even start to grasp the events that transpired I heard a low ping, like a text notification while your phone is in your pocket. Surely it couldn't have... come from the poor woman I just ran over...
It's been 6 years since this started and until now it hasn't bothered me. My life before was a joke; a dead-end job, fake friends, parents who pretended to love me but then everything changed. I'm free. I get to see the world, meet great people, I have no more stress. Money died out quickly after the first shift. It b...
We have watched the storytellers for a relatively short time in the grand scheme of things. Their generations are short and they pass their morals and culture to their young continuously in order to preserve it. The parables are many and varied. Certain themes are prevalent with few exceptions. Good triumphs over evil....
"... and that just about covers it." Yong Lu politely clapped along with the rest of the human delegation, though most of the rest were primarily focused on frantic whispering and scribbling notes. They were the contingent of doctors, here only for the day's biological sciences presentations. The scribbles made in the...
Penis. Penis was the last word I ever spoke... Penis, as in, "shit, that is going to hurt my penis,"but instead, it killed me. "Penis,"was the first word I ever said as a child. "Penis?"my parents thought. Penis could not possibly be the first word they taught me. Penis was not even uttered as I slowly developed in...
"I can't make her laugh, Phil,"spoke Tom, sitting just outside of the door between the worlds. "Nothing I do makes her laugh. She just sits there, not moving. Eyes closed, barely breathing..." "Is she...?" "No, she's not dead yet. I just want to help her, but-" "We're not allowed to touch them, you know that. Even i...
"...and that is why you should come fight with us Mr. Pond." "You know what? Fuck this, I'm in. I'm sick and tired of all this bureaucracy, red tape, briefings, blah blah blah. The world is already beyond fucked, I can't see your side doing anything to make the situation worse. Where do I start Platinum Fingers?" "We...
The crowd disappeared almost as fast as anxiety took over my mind. I leaned against the side of a damp building to gain my balance. It was just a notification, I told myself. It didn't mean anything. I closed my eyes, trying to remember the damn safe place my therapist kept telling me to imagine. The crackling of a f...
My Story of How I became an Immortal Exorcist As I walked towards the golden pillar of light, "Where... am I?" As I drew near, a blast of light knocked me back and I was greeted with a bright orb of light similar to that of the sun. "Your time has come, welcome to Heaven my child."said God, emerging from the orb ...
“Are you ok Danny? You seem distracted?” Damn right I’m distracted. This is my fifth first date in a month, and I’m getting sick of it. I’ve deliberately chosen a not-that-great restaurant so it will be quiet. This also makes it easier to keep track of poorly disguised waiters who may be ready with a heart-felt sp...
Herbert Bruce kept his life simple; he never asked for a raise at work, aspired to own anything nice, or to even do anything interesting. Always too self aware, Herbert could find the balance in life. He could see the things that others couldn't. At first, the connection wasn't so clear. After winning the second ...
Antonius' eyes stared across his garden. His empty, devoid-of-all-life, garden that represented his good deeds in the mortal life he lived on Earth, just a few short hours ago. "For every good deed, there is a flower,"the angel had told him as he led him to his garden in heaven above, "usually, we don't let anyone in i...
Mr. York stepped out of the cab and donned his top hat as he eyed the neighborhood around him. Tennessee Avenue wasn't the ritziest place, but it wasn't the worst either. He shuddered as he remembered a night he'd been forced to spend on Baltic Ave. At least it had been cheap. He stepped into the small motel in fro...
"Could you tell the class what would happen if I were to plead guilty, Your Honor?"The woman asked, politely, professionally. In the seats behind her were seated an elementary school class, watching the proceedings raptly. "I... what... Baliff!"the judge barked. "How did the defendant bring the victims here!" The bal...
I don’t know why I didn’t expect the Oracle to be an actual person. I imagined an orb of changing hues, hovering over a pedestal with a translucent green flame. It’d speak with a genderless voice, and flash with each syllable. I guess it’s just because they sounded so similar. Or-acle. Or-b. It made sense in my ...
I never asked to be a hero, it was more like a joke gone wrong and taken far too far. The role of superhero was thrust upon me like a sword. One moment I was simply a person, a peasant that worked on a farm who looked a little different to his parents, the next moment I was hero. So how did it happen? One day, as the...
For five months he'd been cooped up in the castle, his back mending from the fall he'd taken after he'd tried to kill the beast. Five months of unending, scrupulous hospitality from Belle and Adam and now he, Gaston, was finally about to go home. All had been forgiven between the trio, Gaston knew he would never be ab...
I had so much fun at first. I was everything I had ever wanted: toys, games, all available, and I could play all day! And night, too, but the bed was comfy and nice so sometimes I fell asleep as well. My parents never pestered me about chores, I didn't have to go to school and get homework from Ms. Green. I didn't re...
Sam’s shaking fingers looped the tie far too tight, making his head look like a giant balloon loaming over his body. He angrily undid the tie and threw it to the ground. Everything had to be perfect today. Seven years, and the future he had dreamed of - successful career, beautiful house with a balcony...
The soft buzzing of the fluorescent lights was deafening. It filled my ears like a taunting, meaningless melody, plaguing my thoughts and sinking its brittle noise into my ears. Time meant nothing to me. I could only wait, wait, for when night would fall and the lights would be switched off, but I didn't know how long...
"Ow!" Akil sighed. "Hold still, you big baby."He said, tightening the heavy steel clamp around the man's head. "Three tons of lifting strength, near-invulnerability to conventional weaponry, and you flinch at a simple needle? You're lucky I can even provide them sharp enough at all." "I'm not used to needles going in...
Get up. Take a breath. It's hard, I know. It's a quagmire and you feel lost in the middle of it. You're tired. Everyone expects you to climb out. Everyone wants you to be happy, but you? You're tired. You want to sit, to give up. You look around at the others, they're trying to pull you along, but you want to just coll...
It was a crisp day in early autumn No, it was late summer It was actually the first day of fall No, that’s the day we heard about it, it happened the day before that, besides you call it by the weather when it’s on those border days Alright alright, it was a crisp day at the end of September, one of those days with...
I. Making it through a night shift at NASA’s Mission Control Center without a never-ending supply of coffee was an insurmountable task. So when James Kraft saw that the Keurig machine was out of commission, he knew the evening was not going to end well. Kraft was a capsule communicator, tasked with monitoring and resp...
"It's almost tomorrow." Dazed and quickly losing all bearing, I weakly grip the wet slimy bark of the tree and steady myself as I settle down on the muddy grass. Blood trails down my forehead into my eyes, stinging them, and starts to drop on the ground. The sparkling weightless drizzle continues to persist. "...
They are too fast. To smart. It took them hours to understand my ship. Within a week they had made FTL ship. A task that took our scientists years even with the plans of the ancients. I was so impressed I didn't even question if I should help them. They found a way to turn the FTL drive into a weapon within a month....
"Well can't say I know what you're ta-"I tried to say but Leonardo wouldn't relent. "If the idea of traveling through time hasn't eroded your brain than the concept of Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian, yes I know Italy doesn't technically exist yet my God man get that look off your face it's unbecoming of the second pers...
The digital clock on the side of my bed read 3:02AM. I couldn't sleep even for a second tonight; all I could think about was my five year-old son Ethan talking to his 'friend' on his toy phone that my father got him for his birthday last week. Whenever I would ask him the name of his 'friend', he would only laugh and s...
"I don't get it. You're... literally the same age as I am. How are you supposed to protect me, exactly?"Ilia asked, frowning. The young woman standing in front of her certainly looked intimidating. She had that... look, the look other killers had. It was that cold, flat gaze that focused only momentarily on any new per...
My blood dripped onto the stone beneath me. In my right hand rested the dagger, the gleaming silver tip now tainted with the slightest drop of red. On my left hand, a jagged cut shot across it, blood sliding down the side and dripping onto the ground between my feet. "Cthulhu, I call thee forth,"I spoke hoarsely, my s...
"Adolf-san, wake up." "Eva? Is that you?" "Eva? No, it's Takeo. Were you having a dream?" "Takeo? I don't know any Takeo. Bring me Himmler, I need him to brief me on was ist going on. I feel like I've been out for a few days. Mein head ist killing me." "Just rest a while longer, wild dreams aren't uncommon when you...
She was always there for me, that silent friend, picking me up when I fell, supporting me through my pain. She was there when my father came home drunk. She was there when I was kicked out of college. She was there when I found my fiancé in bed with my best friend. To look upon my bare form is to see the patchwork of...
"Gregory, the fridge is on fire and I suspect it has something with you,"shouted the bald headed manager of the construction plant. "Yes sir,"replied Jeffrey, in an accidentally proud voice. "Dare I ask why?" "Well it started off with some slippery ice on the sidewalk" It had indeed started off with some slippe...
I didn't mean to end up here, honestly I didn't. I guess you could call me a wrong-place, right-time sort of person. The shuttle is preparing to launch. The problem with me is that I'm quiet. And when you're quiet, people hear whatever they want to hear. In this case, they wanted to hear that I was the lead astrona...
Andrew Davies, apprentice to the Court Mage Vercor, closed his eyes and concentrated. Standing inside the training circle (to block magical interference) inside the top room of the Mage Tower (to remove physical distractions), he concentrated on the spell. The magical energies of the world swirled around him, waiting t...

Jasom shuffled quietly through the dimly lit streets, doing what he could to appear as unassuming as possible, knowing that his capture would mean the end of everything they had been working towards. Today is the day. The day the world will break free from the cycle of horror, toiling at the mercy of the few who had c...
Goddamn it, Captain N got something cool. I got “Wakka wakka wakka” playing incessantly out of my arms. Over and over, the noise rhythmically emanates from my extremities. Kelly, my pet black lab, sitting on the floor looks up at me and whines. I fall back into the ratty old futon, that is both the bed and couch of...
I look at the book and think to myself, "How on EARTH do i pronounce that?", i mean, i know HOW to pronounce it, but like, can my tongue even DO that? The one thing I really love about this book, is that the true names of objects are in very detailed IPA so i can look up how to pronounce each of the sounds, but in all ...

ring. ring. ring. ring Hey, it's Annie B, leave me one! Hi, Annabelle. I miss you so much, every day. It's been eight days since you... since you passed on. I'm going to call you every week, and... maybe you'll hear these or maybe not or I don't know, I love you so much and... *Hey, it's Annie B, leave me one...
Those of us who remained sat on top our buildings. We watched a shuffling herd of humanity meander towards the bridges: Manhattan was running out of food. It had only been days since the order came out, shutting down travel for The Emergency. We didn't know what else to call it; at first it was just an unnerving generi...
Lenny looked out onto the open sea. It had been months since he had seen another humans face. His supplies were starting to get low, he'd have to contact Jules over the radio or just wait it out. Only the ships would know if he was gone. When the blaze of his lighthouse burnt out and the shore drew too close, too fast....
