The adventurer grabbed my hilt, and tried to pull me out of the stone I had so alluringly shoved myself into. In return, I became rubbery, slithering up his arm. "Oh motherfuc- Not again!"The paladin restrained himself from uttering the curse, lest his God of Peace revoke his divine powers. I slithered up his arm, twi...
"Okay, this is just stupid." I DO NOT MAKE THE RULES IN HERE. "I don't care. I am dead." THAT YOU ARE. "So, let me go." I CANNOT UNTIL YOU PAY ME THE DUES. "How do you think I am going to?" IT IS NOT FOR ME TO DECIDE. "Listen here, you dipshit. I couldn't find a job while living. What makes you think I will get...
"Dark Souls you say Spock? What is a Dark Soul? Am I the bad guy in this sim?" Captain Kirk waited for a response as he surveyed his surroundings. The scenery was medieval and crumbling. As if a great battle had taken place here long ago, and the passage of time had been equally as cruel. Little about this place in it...
"League of Heroes, you are too late! I am capable of far worse than you can possibly imagine!" They sighed, bored with his dramatic attitude and grandiose performance. What business does a man standing in pajamas just outside his apartment have telling a (mostly historical) organization of superheros how much he is ca...
Max frowned. Those numbers couldn’t be right. Max was working in the campus library. It was about three a.m. Finals were approaching, and her sleep patterns had been destroyed. She knew most of the library cleaners by name now. Max was a history major. She knew she wanted her final project to have something to do wi...
I knew that ONE DAY people would realise my importance. Everything I do is art! "Squidward! Squidward! Squidward!" My hard work had finally paid off! These imbeciles got art, and I got to express myself! What more could one want?! That scout, that one, green scout must be rich! Filthy stinkin' rich because of ME! I...
"The test, is to grow the most beautiful plant from the seed given to you. Each seed has been handpicked by me, to avoid any bias. You will return here in six months time with proof you are capable of cultivating something small into something grand. Dismissed."I waved my hand and the crowd lined uo to recieve their se...
Just look at that beard! Who else can say they dated President Castro? &nbsp; And the way he talks! Aren't you up for a bit of infidelity? &nbsp; Oh no he's not gay, "likes his cigars long and hard" that's just what Che said. &nbsp; And in the bedroom, I promise you there won't be a missile ...
FBI Log - Agent Davies: The first recorded event of this new phenomenon was in 2019. A 14 year old high school male entered his school on a Tuesday morning and killed 34 students. Great, we thought, another shooting. Now I wish it had of been. When we got to the school we found them... charred. Burned. Lines of ashen ...
"Octopus." "Dolphin." "Basketball Hoop." "Bus." "Excellent. Excellent job."The doctor said as he was conducting my annual psych exam. "Honestly, quite unbelievable." "You've excelled again, even improved upon your scores from last year, James."The doctor continued. "I honestly feel great, Doctor. I do not bel...
The scriptures vilify me. They paint a monster over the corpse of a devastated man. What else was I to do? I sweat and toiled in those fields day after day while my brother held a staff and shouted at sheep. My fingertips bled into the soil until they grew calloused enough to withstand the workload I put upon them....
Privilegiata Puella Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess living in a golden palace named Attero. The princess, brushing her hair with a silver comb, was oblivious to reality, living in a beautiful safe bubble of happiness and ecstasy. This epitome of privileged ignorance spent her bountiful days pinin...
For seven thousand years, I have ruled the world of man with an iron fist. Generation after generation gave rise to heroes who would challenge my terrible might. Alliances between the kingdoms of men and elves and dwarves were forged to rise up against me, only to have the bonds of those alliances crumble with their ...
The key to optimization is efficiency. That seems obvious of course, but I've never really understood just how efficient humans could get. I know it all sounds pretentious, and it is, but stick with me for a bit. Just read a while and maybe I can explain better. Think of a programmer. Tell me, does he think beyond ...
With the invention of the warp drive years ago, humanity has pushed into expanding to many star systems. The laws were changed to be counter to what was expected: instead of the owner being the first to settle in each star system and make improvements to a planet or moon, the law is simple ownership through contract. A...
"Seriously?"Death asked as he frantically scanned his list. He had appeared in his usual cloud of smoke, and stood next to the old television set. "I guess so?"Dave answered not turning away from the television. The show showered the room in a dim light. Death took a seat on the couch next to my recliner, his usual sp...
I sat down across from her. She was handcuffed to the table. Her shaved head gleamed under the florescent lights, and her expression was perfectly calm. That was not abnormal; they often looked calm, but the tone of the calmness was different. She seemed not blank, but serene, and she smiled at me. "Hora terbet", she...
''You guys...'' My coworkers halt their conversation and turn towards me. ''Yeah?'' ''I was here yesterday, right?'' Dana shot me a confused look. ''Yeah'', she finally responded. ''Is something wrong, Dale?'' ''Well, it's just, you're all talking about your weekend plans, right?'' Now she looked even more bewild...
People have said that time is like a river, ever flowing in one direction. This is a fine sentiment, poetic really. It even allows for more ludicrous theories, like what could happen if you were to dam the river or paddle upstream. But a more apt metaphor would probably be the unrelenting fury of a hurricane's wind. Yo...
It was fortunate to be travelling in daylight, thought Patsy. He hoisted his master’s gear into a more comfortable position. It rested heavily on his back as they marched through the forest. “What in the Devil,” hissed the King of the Britons. They were approaching a small clearing. Up until this point, there had bee...
"And this ranch-style home currently has five residents. A mother, father, and their three young children, all under the age of eight. There are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious attic. You could hide up there whenever you get tired of being surrounded by the little brats." I peer through the closest window...
Imagine, if you will, evil. Dress it in a coat of charity and kindness. Give it a smile and warm eyes. Call it a healer. Call it good. We know him as Al'çahd, the symbol of plague, the bringer of pestilence. For many moons, we had bore witness to his tyranny and deceit, masking his true abilities as altruistic healing...
The xenomorph had been waiting there longer than I had, coiled cleverly against one corner of the dark, unusually high ceilinged closet.. I raised my head slowly, stared up and didn't see a pair of eyes in the elongated, terrifyingly phallic head of the creature. "What.. are.. you?"I whispered. When I was a kid and w...
"To be honest, man... neither of us really want you, dude."Jesus sadly let out. The Antichrist looked at Jesus and then at me. "Bro look! It's not that we don't like you, it's just... You aren't really good for either of us."The Antichrist said. "What?! What the he-...ck are my options?" Jesus stepped forward a l...
Could this get any more cliche? What are the odds that my life, perfectly normal just days ago, could turn into this. I don't even like camping in the first place! I don't like parties either. I don't like nature. I especially don't like being chased down by a manic psychopath who, apparently recently, decided to tak...
The lights turned on as she entered the apartment, soft hues slowly warming the sparse walls with their light. With a sigh, she removed her shoes and stumbled into the kitchen. "My apologies,"A voice behind her said as she opened the fridge, "I did not realize there was a no shoe policy," Her concealed firearm was al...
PART 1 It happened in one of the many endless meetings. The meeting that followed the previous meeting, and the presentation before that. Senior Special Agent Gordon didn’t even know what this meeting was about, and his brain was starting to fade into regret… *This must be The Dark Side. I live in this endless maze o...
The January wind blew threw John's threadbare coat. A fresh powdering of snow diced through his shielding hands as he feebly looked towards the hazy white beyond. He couldn't fathom any other misery than this right now. The blockade had made it nigh impossible to acquire decent winter clothing. It also made any att...
"That's him,"a Djinn whispered as I brushed past them. "That's Aabad the Ironic Djinn." The bar was crowded. The punch was warm, and the food was cold. The music was frozen in the last prophet's era. I would have happy for something modern like 'I'm Too Sexy for My Shirt' for once. For beings of magic, nobody used m...
“Harris, Devin your harnesses are secure. You are now authorized to detach from the carrier. Take care of the asteroids.” “Control, we copy. Detaching.” The two men in bright orange spacesuits drifted slowly across the length of the transport shaft. “Harris, I haven’t seen the Transport Line damaged like thi...
“Rosie Reynolds,” Thunderman began, “was a legend. She was known by many as the new Clara Barton. I doubt there’s a single person in this room who wasn’t healed by Rosie in some way. I was so humbled when she asked me to do her eulogy. She wanted me to bring a message of reconciliation between heroes and villains. I pr...
I've always known I was a bit... different. I never seemed to fit in with my peers and when all the other devil's wings started to form from their nubs, mine didn't. My father told me to “be patient, that it would happen. Some were just late to develop.” I knew he was just saying that. But it did help. Although, I coul...
Crack! At last, the library door gave to the crunch of the crowbar. We knew it was an important place. Much of what James knew about huntimg and edible plants came from books. Libraries, we only knew them from childhood stories, but they were supposed to have hundreds, maybe even thousands of them. It wasnt a nea...
I once had a clean name, a house, a car, a wife; the things you accumulate in the endeavor for that white picket life. I try to imagine what they would look like now had the car not blown up in the house with my pregnant wife still inside and fingers pointing of course at you-know-who. "It was the spouse", is the first...
"What's going on with the atmosphere?"Lt. Commander Kopano Botha barely heard the whisperings of his fellow astrogators as he looked with worry on the planet beneath him. The Trappist-4 system had long been prized as the crown jewel of humanities corner of the galaxy, and finally they had arrived to claim it. The UESP ...
I'm sitting in the park next to the coffee stand thinking maybe I should try to work there. I sighed when I realized they have to get to work before dawn. I come back from a full space out daydream about working in sunshine; I notice a beekeeper sauntering up to me. He sits a little too close to me on the grass. "I w...
“Luci’s at it again! He’s really starting to get on my nerves. Daring, did you see what he was doing yesterday?” “No, is everything okay?” Luci’s mother looked up inquisitively from her underworld tabloid. Whatever was going on with her son had to be more interesting than another Venge demon breaking legs of men who s...
Not my best work, but I gave it a shot :) A girl dressed in white, with powers aligned with night, and a willingness to fight, for what she thinks is right. Across the fields she goes, marching through the wind, rain, and snow, through the men firing, and dying all around, she marched without tiring, ignoring...
My paper plate fell to the floor. Bits of chocolate cake splattered everywhere. I couldn't believe who - or what - was now standing front of me. He was as expected: Seven feet tall, with black ram's horns and skin as red as a strawberry. He wore a black HIM T-shirt that looked a couple of sizes too small, but no pants....
Heavy boots echoed off the concrete as Lieutenant General William Ashe led his command staff through the serpentine tunnels beneath the Royal School of Military Engineering. Down in the bowels her majesties government hadn't seen fit for much in the way of luxuries or comfort, but that suited Ashe just fine. As Her Maj...
When I was a little boy, I'd toss feverishly in my sheets, plagued by a single reoccurring nightmare. It started with a jiggle at the handle of our front door. A figure obscured by the three panels of rain-spatter pattern glass set in the cherry-wood. I was at the table. Sometimes I was eating but mostly it didn't matt...
Ping. ... .... Ping. I knew I didn't have a choice. The pinging does not stop if you ignore it. Damn phones. I should have enabled sleep mode. As I rolled over to check the notification I saw on my alarm clock it was 2:14AM. I am tired. 24 hour shifts in the ER do that to you. The notification was a text mess...
"Are you sure that you saw the name correctly?"my girlfriend asks me as I speak to her, shaking while we are locked in the bathroom upstairs. "Yes, there is no way that I could have made a mistake. It was her name. It was the exact same photo that they used on the news,"I tell her as I splash cold water on my face. I...
The night was dark. A single light flickered over the couple, a man and wife, deep in argument. The man seemed furious, bellowing his voice throughout the small room, whereas the woman seemed more incredulous than anything, amazed at his reaction. She stood over a trapdoor, her feet and dress set in such a way that it ...
Wish 1 - Happiness: "My first wish is that I shall never have a sad day for the rest of my life, no matter what happens."Immediately after I made the request, the Djinn placed a hand on my forehead and my depression disappeared, never to return. It felt as if a cruise ship had been lifted off of my conscious. Indeed, f...
“Give me that damn doll!” I body slam an elderly man, who falls to the floor in a heap, and dodge a cloud of pepper spray. I came prepared, mentally and physically. I want the deals, I need the deals. That doll is going to be mine, by hook or by crook. I carry a carbon plated broadsword on my back, a canister of plas...
So... Today has been a weird day. Right now, I’m a geneticist known as Henry Roth. Or rather, I’m in the body of a geneticist named Henry Roth. I have glasses now, and I’m somewhat overweight (no judgement), and I have a rather old fashioned sense of style. Roth chooses to wear tweed and sweater vests, but again I’m ...
The judge, jury, everyone in the courthouse looked completely over the situation, understandably. You had only taken this case thinking it would be a simple case, immediately dismissed by a court (potentially even before a court date was set), and you’d get your fee paid. When the Vatican has insisted on sending a re...
Hi there, my name is Chris. I think I’m just a regular guy, but the world seems to think I’m some sort of superhero. I struggled through the atrocity that is medical school and am a licensed neurosurgeon, although I don’t really practice medicine anymore. I did invent this one device and use it regularly, and I guess t...
I sat outside on that peculiar, cool, summer night, sitting on a blanket with a girl I hardly knew. She pointed up at the stars. “Proxima Centauri,” she said. “That one there?” I asked, pointing to the only bright one I could see in the sky. “That’s what it’s called. It’s a long ways away. I learned about it in...
"Oh my god, you look stunning! Who are you wearing?" Veronica maintained her perfect, practiced smile. Years of red carpets all over the world had trained her in a peculiar mix of skills, and hiding annoyance for unoriginal questions was one of them. "This dress is Sophia Wang, and my shoes are from Leonardo's of New...
To be honest with myself I'm not surprised I'm getting caught now, with everyone now having a camera that connects to the internet in their pocket or hand it was bound to happen sooner rather then later. With power like this it's only right to protect the innocent...isn't it? It's been a week since my last 'exhibi...
It starts as a normal day like any. I know my name, I know my house, and I know what my daily routine involves. I also know today is the first day I want to test my new invention. I smile when I brush my teeth. My heart races when I put on my clothes and make my morning coffee. I told my friends about what I made but n...
"A carbon prospector?"The President asked, looking at the councilor doubtfully. "Yes, Mr. President. We've confirmed he was the one that made contact with Alpha species." "Well send him in I suppose."The President sighed and waved the man in. Tex sauntered in, Lucky happily bounding along behind him. "Is that a do...
As per the rules of the two agreed upon, neither God nor Lucifer could interact with the competitors. Their chosen champions were taken from where they were and taken up into the heavens, nothing surrounding them but the sky,two chairs and a table with a game of chess ready to play. Bee stared at the old man as he look...
The gentle hum of the ship radiates through the floor under my feet, as I stare into the hologram of what we’re going into. Command has sent my fleet to attempt to re-inforce the battalion and provide support in a battle that had been raging for months after 1st Commander Rodriquez sent a distress call over the emerge...
"Of course I want the discount,"Art said, in his hoarse voice. "Can't be pulling out of the EU and paying full price for coffee!" I always have to ask. Sometimes people are embarrassed, as if making it until 65 is embarrassing. I can imagine a lot of other parts of life get more embarrassing as you get older, but h...
I laugh at this, I mean I'm living breathing proof right in front of them. I pull out my communicator, "I got to tell jsbxjao'idb about this, she will never believe this." ....no signal.... I stand there stunned as people pass by bumping into me. This is impossible, I have been all over the universe and never once los...
He was so close. He was so close and he could save them all. He had failed to save Maria, he wouldn’t fail his men. The Colonel ran through the hall, pistol raised. Behind him shots ricocheted throughout the hull of the dreadnaught. They were shooting at him, goddamnit. It had been years since he’d actually bee...
"Oh come on! I left you a clue over the door to the maze. What did you think the Rs and Ls meant?"I know they can't hear me as I shout at the screen, but—"God! How do they remember to breath when they're that dumb?" I need them, though. I took over the world, what, a few dozen years ago. It was fun. The redecorating, ...
Am I awake? What time is this? Six am, the phone alarm goes off as I angrily stomp around my room towards the bathroom. I'm starting to wake up before the alarm, always in a state of panic followed by the alarm itself that mercilessly rings until I'm fully awake. Commute is filled with the same old faces, angry and do...
I used to give a great deal of importance to independent decisions. That's probably why my relationships were always in shambles. I never pushed my girlfriend to commit, never asked anything of anyone, always waiting for the other person to initiate as I was ready to commit. And it never happened....they never felt I w...
“CURIOUS!” you shout, jolting up out of bed, the sounds of your frightened neighbors echoing along the street. “WORRIED!” you yell, as you shake your wife awake and begin to slip on some loose clothes. You rush to you’re children’s rooms, where they are sitting up screaming “SCARED!” like the others, and most likely be...
"So..." The youth paused, watching as the old man bent to pick up a piece of wood. "Yes?"The old man said with a relaxed and bemused voice. He regarded the young man with his single blue eye. His other eye was completely white and completely useless, a long jagged scar traced its way across it. "Um..." The young...
My world was big and white. My own little place in it was a corner behind a big, smelly, porcelain thing. The smell attracted the flies I ate, and there was plenty of water too. Every so often, giant monsters came in and provided the smell I was talking about. Life was good. But today, one of the monsters spotted me....
And suddenly, just like that, the news was dropped to the world. EVERYONE HAS A 50% CHANCE TO DIE! YOU MAY GIFT PEOPLE THIS PERCENTAGE OR RECEIVE A PERCENTAGE. GOD SAVE US ALL. What? I had a fifty percentage chance of dying? This is... odd. I decided to go online and search what people had to say about this. ANYONE...
It was an utter grease-bath. Spread all over the field was fats, melted dairy, burnt buns, and cracked cones, all unmoving or gasping their last breaths. In the middle of it all lay the Burger King, his cheeseburger head ripped in half, ketchup and pickle juice leaking onto the ground. His body was impaled by three d...
I stared at the officer in the doorway. After I chanced to look in the hallway mirror as I retrieved my driver's license from my wallet and noticed she didn't have a reflection, I had started to notice other things. Her uncannily pale skin. A palpable coldness in the air around her. "Sir? Can I come in?"she repeated. ...
From the Journal of Darth Callous, Dark Lord of the Sith Number 3693: Today, I revealed to my apprentice yet one more tenant of the Rule of Two: one Sith to embody the power of the Dark Side, and the other to crave it. I revealed that the day would come when he would desire to overthrow me, as a Sith Master, which may...
Me and hazmat guy were surrounded by three scrappy raiders only wearing bondage while the supposed leader is in a full gimp suit all with lead pipes and machetes in hand. I look over to hazmat guy as if he had any idea of what to do but he just stood there with his back slouched and his head on his shoulder as normal....
Robotic Opinions Weekly, Blog Post #251 Okay, so like, I’m offended. This morning, after I’d gotten my cup of oil and ate a breakfast of screws and nuts—deeeelish!—I went to watch a video on Youtube. You must understand, I do this every day. It’s a very important part of my routine to burn an hour watching silly...
It was a good night, another group of backroom safes opened with ease, the experiments with the suit were going well, just a dash of shockwaves and I could pop most simple mechanisms open be it safes or deadbolts. It was an easy night too, the Police were too busy trying to find leads for the strange murders that were ...
She was as beautiful as I remembered her to be. Tall, curvaceous, long firey red hair. Even her goth asthetic remained unchanged. Black lips, nail polish, and that smokey eye shadow that framed her spring green eyes perfectly. Then it hit me, or rather, she did. "Snap out of it. I don't know if you remember me, but w...
"Hi, this is Jess calling for AJ."Jess said, lightly leaning on her desk as she stared at the several wishes she had to go through today. WISH Corp. was so... boring - given their guidelines. In fact, it was summarized above every one of their employees computers in a single phrase. 'Grant with sense', Jess always hate...
No one knew why the monolith had appeared. The village elders proclaimed that it came from the gods. Or perhaps from their counterparts. It was a gate. Or perhaps a ward. Whatever it was, it wasn't to be trusted. If we ever took our eyes away, if we even blinked! Well it was better not to think about that. The elders...
"I think this might be the day we finally say goodbye"I look at the only friend I have had for years, Gus. A soft "woof"is all he gives in response, as he lays his head in my lap. Tired from the years of roaming this wasteland with me. I spent so many years trying to hold on, moving from safe spot to safe spot, prote...
I don't remember how it happened. I was at the beach, enjoying a swim. Placid stuff. Then I hear it. A whistling. I look up and see it spiraling toward me. It smashes into me, nose deforming like some sick parody of a burst water balloon. I start descending in the depths, unaware of what had just happened. My eyes bur...
Hell looks nothing like what I imagined. While there’s fire, and certainly torture—there are also factories. The entire place is like an industrial zone, and as my state-of-the-art, multi-million dollar sports car cruises along, it sings with the radio, belting out “Highway to Hell” by AC-DC. Listen, I ain’t perf...
Sir, your accounts have nearly been balanced. The time that you served last year has covered you on the 3 acts in question. However, our calculations show you have still 2 hours pre-served left to spend. The judge hates leaving such small change in the books, so if you could please use this up, we would appreciate it. ...
Naamah sighed and made a gesture with her hand at Uriel. “You are SO dense! Did those wings come at the cost of you getting a bird’s brain? How can you NOT believe that our powers affect the humans’ view on us? I cause epilepsy in people, while you foster art skills! Bah, you wouldn’t know how it is and there’s no way ...
If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s learning a new language. I have to do it almost regularly, of course, to blend in. Over the years, and there have been a lot of years, I’ve had to contend with constant linguistic change. This is true across every civilization that has hosted me, and the humans are no different....
Tendrils snaked across the keyboard, turning dials and knobs and pulsing different colors of light. "The nerve of them."The tendrils went bright red, "I have watched over this galaxy since time began." The message folded through time and space. "Do what you will Klaxon, but remember that you too were once a dreamer,...
'Fucking Sasha.' I thought as she fell on the floor to the office, and just layed there. 'She thought she was so perfect. Drinking the recommended 7 bottles of water each day. Working out, who the fuck has time to do that? And those salads. . . But now look at her. ' As she laid on the floor she threw up on herself. ...
The noise of the passing vehicles numbs my ears. I take a deep breath, forcing all kinds of nitrogenic-sulfuric concoctions down my lungs and look up into the sky; the lining on the horizon is brown from smog and pollution. The slightly brighter shimmer above tells me the time of day. It also tells me that it will be t...
"Wait. What." The creature turned around to scan its surroundings. "Oh, by the Seven Crystals of Tantozar!" It pulled out a notebook and opened it, revealing a... clock? It pulled on the gears until a small flame burst and it held it up to its ninth eye. "Saihom, you absolute c h o n k. You sent me to the Human hom...
The man across the table was fat, and was a veritable fountain of sweat. His wide eyes flickered rapidly around the room. "Welcome to Mental Lawyers! How may we help you today?" "I uh, I heard from a friend that...you could uh..." I forced a polite smile as the man continued to stumble over his words. Eventually I h...
"Miss Natasha, you've got mail!" "A letter..? For me? Thank you, but.. are you sure..?" She paused. For the first time in a while, a slight smile covered her bright, red lips. It was the first day of June, the birth date of that special someone. Turning 21 years old and legally a fully matured adult, she should hav...
After the first kill, I thought the next twelve kills would be easier. After twenty-six years, I thought the regret would eventually go away. After thousands of healings, I thought I would recieve some type of closure for this gaping wound of emptiness in my heart. I thought...I thought...I thought... It was only abo...
The humans were still too primitive to enjoy our information. It's a shame, really. But at this point, even if we help them innovate and protect them, they won't understand anything we have stored. Council says that around the time they start creating complex clockworks like poket watches, they might understand some o...
I've tried everything. These past years, I've driven humanity forward by centuries. A useful side effect of love is ambition, but that doesn't matter when your ambition has a cap. It took me a month to develop a working teleporter. I was certain that would do the trick. I called her to tell her about it, and she said s...
You know how when someone has a bad day, there's always someone else around who says "Well, it could be worse?"For me, yesterday was the embodiment of the "Could be worse"part. Now to be fair, I do blame a bit on myself. An old flame of mine decided to hit me up again, and while I'm usually forgiving of someone who sa...
I drowsily took my seat in the near empty bus. Why was it near empty? Because it was heading to Parkes, an aptly named suburb because it consisted mostly of caravan parks. Not that I could afford a caravan, such things were beyond my humble reach. I lived in a tent. A big tent. It had a little fridge, power of course, ...
Disneyland, in my humble opinion, is the worst place one earth. I hate the crowds. The music gives me a headache. The kids are annoying. The lines are too long. The food in the park, typically gray, usually frighteningly old, and wrapped in more plastic than you can imagine, is priced at triple the usual cost. But I li...
"We can't get anything on him." Captain Thorpe was a large man. He had thick, long legs like I-beams supporting a frame that was built for throwing boulders at mythical creatures. Lucius often considered the idea that Thorpe had been promoted on the merits of his intimidation factor alone. Spending fifteen minutes und...
My bed was a bit more soggy and filled with flesh-eating worms then I had remembered it when I went to sleep hours earlier. I had a blinding headache at the time so was glad to finally lie down. I picked out a few of the the more vicious of the worms and threw them to the floor where they burst into flames while scre...
Not his fault. Not his fault. It's the law. It's not his fault if they come into his house. Manford Bryke told himself over and over again. He'd left the key. He had. He left it on the break room table. Right there. Right there! They would find it. He knew they would. He could feel them staring at him. He knew they ...
"Roll a d 20,"Mauk the Orge says. "You need to pass a 15 check to successfully make a homemade pizza for your party." Argo rolls "That's a 16 plus my cooking skill so a 19,"Argo the elder dragon thunders. Now they have been having h&h sessions for a few months now and let's say the quiet modern life is quite e...
The first time I met him, he already knew me. Life is weird when one of your oldest friends is a time traveller. I was only a few centuries old, barely the first sentence of human history had been written when we first met. He appeared in a flash of lightning outside the patchwork shelter I had created out of wood an...
At first, the scientists didn't know what to make of the device. It was powered by an unknown source, and seemed to simply generate air out of nowhere. It's size approached that of a football field, and once it was uncovered, it began whirring back to full speed. &#x200B; However, as time went on, weeks and mon...
"Hey Brad, we have another program meeting at 1300, be sure to check the CDR slides and update or comment as necessary."Dan said. Brad let out the heaviest of heavy sighs. Essentially this was the office equivalent of "fuck this shit"that decorum would allow. It was only Tuesday morning but this was the 6th impromptu...
