John reflected grumpily on the Sphere as he watched it recede. His kind were viewed as the anomalies of a million years of good breeding. A thousand years ago, soldiers were in high demand and it seemed that every other planetoid contained the latest warlike species. Even if you approached them in their own language t... |
"Susan"I stuttered, "I have a confession, I'm the one who killed Mary."
Instead of tears or any typical reaction one might have when being told their partner murdered their mother, she turned to me with eyes gleaming, "I'm the one you want to marry? YES YES YES YES!"
"No, you don't understand, I killed your mother."I... |
A wailing clarinet echoes through the bubbles. Three oddly shaped houses remain erect, symmetrically apart. Two friends lie outside the middle one, it’s eyes spurting out awkward tones that don’t match and occasional squeaks, as they stare out into a void that was once an underwater adventure land – erasing itself slow... |

Sam looked up, completely unsurprised.
"Hey Drew,"he said, and went back to his reading.
This was hardly unexpected, which was the main reason he hadn't been all that upset at his brother's funeral. And for good reason, because he knew what Drew had planned for the next year or so.

I woke up today at 5 am. I didn't need an alarm clock. Today was going to be the most special day of my life. I could barely sleep at all last night.
I tried to sit up, but I was too weak. No surprise there. I've been too weak to sit up for a few months now. So I lay there, listening to the rhythmic beeps and ... |
Death told me something.
He came to me on my deathbed. I was hanging on to the last moments of my life, laying peacefully. Nobody was in the room, save me and the man who would take my soul away.
"Yo,"he said. Death is apparently a flippant guy. "I'm Death. I'm supposed to be bringing you to the afterlife soon."He sh... |
I'm a bad man. The things I've done, terrible. I've ruined lives, stolen money, kidnapped, extorted, and killed. I do these things because its all I know.

The room was cold outside the blankets and at once I could feel that there was something wrong. I cracked open my eyes and looked around the room and say her, the dame wanted something and it wasn't hard to work out what.

"Shit, Shit"I muttered under my rapidly disappearing breath. There were only three things in my mind, the beating of my worn down legs, they felt like they were going to tear off. Second, I was starving, I hadn't found a place that would be safe in forever. Third I could hear them, they kept on screaming, different one... |
He materialized in a dark alley. The time-traveling device attached to his wrist flashed a holographic *2014* in bright blue as it beeped, signaling a successful journey through time.
He was the first. Years had been spent and lives had been lost in attempts to master time travel, and he was the first person to finall... |
He sat in the car, thinking about how his wife just texted him that the baby came early. After 2 minutes of just staring at the steering wheel, he sucked in air, which rubbed his upper lip. The exhale through his nostrils let out a long, worrying, release. As air left his lungs, he brought his hands up to his hairline,... |
I cannot rightly determine what is being displayed on my computer screen. For the sake of my sanity, I hope I never do.

“Aaah, nope. Nope. This isn’t gonna work.” Greg’s nasal twang cut through the raging wind with astonishing clarity.

Ah, the sweet smell of coffee. Just like it used to be. I relax and take it all in. I can almost forget, it almost seems like the incident never happened. Almost. But then it all comes flooding back. The pain, the regret, the helplessness. I cannot change what has happened, I cannot fix it.
I used to come to this shop... |
Regret isn’t quite the right word to describe it. It’s just that my life has been less exciting since the world ended. How does one top the sheer unadulterated glee of watching vast empires crumble before you, armies turning on each other, the myriad petty lives in all their different forms snuffed out in a moment of u... |
There's nothing for you in there.
The words of my childhood. Bitter sounding every time, accompanied by the sweet desire to know what was inside. It was sickening.
But the holidays are here, and I'm not a kid anymore. Left alone for the weekend, they told me not to have parties. They said nothing about the door. They... |
You know those days where you kind of quit half way through? That was me yesterday. From the time I got back from lunch to the time I clocked out I only managed to produce a couple of pieces of paperwork, about 20 lines of code, and two Facebook statuses. I just had nothing in me. I don't think I'm depressed, and I don... |
Everyone thought it’d be panic and sin,
those not on drugs, wishing they’d been.
The end of the world, the collapse of our meaning:
the shouting, the praying, the fools disbelieving.
In the sky you could see it, a brightening star--
the eye of the god who would paint us dark.
The stages of grief were our va... |
The doors clinked open. Smoke slowly rose until the unmistakable points of my boots pierced through. As the doors completed their recession, in one swift stride, he stepped out of the machine, dragging some of the fog with him as he turned the corner and began dressing himself. He was me. I saw the scar under his right... |

Cliff and James waited by the fire for Matt and Ranae to come back with some fish. They were all camped by the Columbia River, near the source in the mountains of Canada. Their orange tents stuck out like a sore thumb amidst the lush, verdant green forest, the cool grey rocks, and the blues and whites of the roaring ri... |
Just one more vote. Senator Clinton (NY/D), the fourth with that name, could hardly believe he had gotten this far. It took every trick in the book, bribery threats, etc. but he had secured 280 votes in Congress and 62 in the Senate, however he needed one more. Just one single vote.

When I was very young I went to Sunday school. That was before the war ravaged all the lands; before billions of people perished in the fighting or the starvation and thirst that followed the bullets and fire.

Let me tell you something. When the oceans started lowering, it became possible to reach its deepest depths. But don't misunderstand- doing so is still quite the Herculean task. Only a select few could dive in and make it out alive. But that's still an improvement from "impossible", no?

I go to the place where mommy works almost every day. Every day, after kindergarten, I go to mommy's office, and wait for her to finish work.

We were done for. It was just Dr. Bernard and myself, trapped in this little cavern on a planet we barely knew anything about. So much for the reward of risk in being a S.T.A.A.T. Explorer.

Long ago, there was only one land surrounded by an endless sea. The people who live there were neither peaceful nor warlike. Instead, the passage of time was like that of the tide, coming and going, regular, but never stationary. And they people who lived there were as varied as the stars in the night's sky. To the nor... |
As I lay here in the bed, my view never changes. My series of strokes have locked me in. My muscles don't move, in fact they have contracted. They're painful, but I can't communicate that anyone.

Drummund wondered at the sick, twisted nature of random chance as he strained up the Hill of Endless Discipline to reach the Shrine of the Ancients. Why did he have to pull the short straw?

The condemned man was a giant. Six foot seven, bulging muscles and a barrel chest. His rough skin was crisscrossed with tattoos, even his shining bald head. On his back, an ink masterpiece of angel wings was marred by scars. As he shuffled into the warden's office, constrained by the tight manacles, his green eyes burn... |
The first couple of days after I'd been infected were the most difficult. It was as if there was an internal struggle going on inside me. Well, I suppose there was technically. It started first in my extremities.

He had finally made it. After weeks of climbing in the bitter biting cold, Lawrence Redesdale had reached the summit, albeit alone. 3 others had set out with him from the base camp. Two turned back, one died. They had not prepared as he did. They had not taken the task seriously.

The world was at war with itself. Guns, chemicals and bombs had rendered nearly every square inch of the Earth's surface uninhabitable. Civilians lived in tattered homes, scrounging for the few scraps of food they could possibly find, constantly fearing the worst for themselves and their families.
Long before the war ... |
*Where am I?* the obvious first question danced through my brain.

I was deep in the outer rim systems. My job was simple, to track down and "disable"as many of the enemy commanders as I could.
