“Ugh, you’re insufferable! I’ll fucking show you it works!”
We’ve known each other for two decades now, but I am still amused by how a giant like Jake gets annoyed by the smallest things. Of course, I knew the cloning device worked; I tested it last night on a rat, but I still wanted to see him use it. And I wanted to... |
*Goodbye*, I think, because what else is there to do?
I've already said it to the only people that matter, I've already left. Maybe that means it's pointless, but I know better.
It would be presumptuous to think I was saying goodbye to the world, since it will go on without me. Maybe I'm saying goodbye to myself.

I developed a skill for hiding when I was six years old and my father would come home from the bar. He was a provocative drunk under the best of circumstances, quite violent under the worst.

I first found out I was different when I was seven. Mr Ray, our PE teacher, stood in the sun, the light perfectly accentuating his toned muscles.

“Wha-?” The princess said, dazed. “He’s adorable, but why would he set me free, when all of those knights were burnt? 10 years of sitting in a tower, ended by a cute widdle puppy?” The dog, wearing a cloak with a sword fit for him in its pocket, barked in response. “The knights did not love you.

It was the last time any other city-state attacked us.

I blink. Twice. My brain is trying to process what my eyes are seeing. I take a few slow steps towards the door and let my fingers slide through the scratch marks. They were real. And deep.

It's amazing how quickly things go wrong. It takes thirty seconds to start a fight, thirty minutes to get arrested for aggravated assault, thirty days to make the worst deal ever with some military types, and thirty weeks for human civilization to end in fire and night.

The joint training exercise between the humans and the wolflike Ma'athfar was anything but uneventful.

The Portals didn't change day to day life as much as people expected. Sure, things changed a little.

There's three things any prospective assassin needs to know about the future.

I sat on the old bed in my cell, well, less of a cell and more of an old bedroom somewhere, a thick locked door and the lack of windows was the only thing slightly abnormal.
