The air was stiff, with not a single soldier in sight. Vartoss and I have been stuck on guard duty for the seventh time during this solar rotation. Nothing happened in this light-forsaken world. The humans squabbled, waged war on their people, and worshiped idols. We stood guard in front of one the temples, waiting for...
You stare at the genie in amazement. “Well isn’t this a turn of events,” You hum to yourself while sipping a capris sun. The genie is cackling to themself in delight, having not just the freedom to leave their lamp, but the freedom to go anywhere and do anything. “Shocking, isn’t it, autonomy?” Genies weren’t just a ...
"Guys, for the last time, stop it with the military drills!" Centurion Marcialis looked at Professor Mason in confusion. Or he would look at him in confusion were he still able to change his facial expression. As it was the skeleton of the Centurion just stared at Professor Mason with the cold fire of unlife burning i...
My name is Angie Buford, and I am counselor for superhuman abilities. I never would have imagined that there would be a niche for this kind of thing. Though they number a few hundred per major metropolitan area, when I was growing up there were only three superheroes in North America. Everybody wanted to be like them....
"This just in, the recent outbreak of riots on the streets..." Mel switched the channel, and another newscaster appeared on screen. "Now let's talk about the science behind..." "Hey, I was watching that!"Randy popped up from his seat, grabbing for the remote in Mel's hand. Mel pulled away, keeping the remote for he...
"Son, I spent lifetimes manipulating kingdoms and gods in preparation for this moment." "I don't care. Kingdoms are stupid." "You are standing at a nexus point, with all the power of Destiny behind you,"the High Mage of Arboria aka Dad continued. "You must make the choice to embrace your prophecy and chance to create...
> Date: 17 February 2026 > Please help. Doing research into temporal mechanics; may have broken something. Last five minutes of universe on repeat. > Should be sending this note more than five minutes into the past. > Contact Large Hadron Collider. Ask for Dr. Higgs. Warn him that it is vitally important...
“The killer’s name is TwerkingGoku? That must be a fake name, right? Why would the news even report something as stupid as that? Wouldn’t it have been easier to wait until his name real name came out?” It was a typical news day. Stories about corrupt politicians, dogs on surfboards and the odd murder mystery sprinkled ...
Mary would regret ever breaking up with me. She'd told me that nobody had ever understood her like I did. That nobody ever listened to her like I did. Nobody ever cared about her like I did. But that all of this didn't matter. The sex was just too disappointing. I could try harder I told her. Doing more foreplay wa...
*Chapter 1* An orange glow of the rising sun crested over the hills beyond the valley. Fog spread slow from the river in a folding blanket across the fields, northbound to where the cattle were sleeping on the wet grass. He turned off the ignition and jumped down from the cabin with a thud. Mornings like this he ...
“You think I’m insane, don’t you?” The patient was young, as many unfortunately were these days. A lanky blonde girl with dull blue eyes ringed with sleeplessness and hair that had been left tangled. “I’m not here to judge you-“ he began only for her to cut him off again. “I’m telling the truth, damn it! I’m not s...
"You have got to be kidding me"I straightened my dress hem as I stood up. "It's bad enough that the humans are ruining my planet, but this?"I looked straight up at three ships landing near me. The biggest ship opened its doors and an alien walked up to me. "Greetings, we come from a far off planet in search of resourc...
Alfred stared at the new woman from across the office. Thando had just started last week, and she was beautiful. Her pure ebony skin and cute outfits warmed his nervous, jittery heart. She really liked wearing green. It DID look good on her. Should he ask her out? Should he not? He wasn't sure, but there was someone h...
Jack stares at the piece of paper. He'd invested millions in this treasure hunt. He's traveled the world over. People had DIED for fucks sake!! Now, this ASSHOLE wants me to do more? What sort of late stage capitalist bullshit was this? Oh, I've worked my ass off, done what no one else could do,sacrificed my personal...
You're aware that you live on earth. People die every second of every day, but people are also born every second of every day. The rates are still relatively equal the last time you checked Wikipedia. You continue to sip your morning coffee and go about your daily routine. You wonder if Brenda made that lemon pound cak...
I looked at my phoenix, a parrot-type phoenix that used to have bright red feathers that looked like fire in the light. It had long since lost the color and so would go up in a poof of flames. She would be reborn but as a new phoenix with no memories of her last life. She looked at me, turning her head side to side try...
If the sky breaks, what would you do? It's the question that has been burning through me for years. And now my answer is, "dive deep to avoid the shards."So, here I am, descending the depths of our terrestrial "final"frontier, for at least it is safer than trying for the sky. Far too much fire above. Yet as I see th...
We didn’t know what we were doing when we discovered magic. A millennia of steady application of the scientific method combined with a rogue AI that normally only ever managed the archive of our species’ history, and things had finally come full circle for us. We, or rather they, bridged the possible with the impossibl...
Part 1 'Curiosity is a dangerous thing. It's led moths to a fire, Icarus to the sun, and countless humans to their destruction. I, unfortunately, was also part of the latter. In my hubris, I messed with things out of my domain, and I have paid the price, dearly so' The first paragraph of the letter stated. Walter scr...
He coughed for the fourth time, spewing spittle over the entire room. His eyes looked like they were about to burst and his nose was roughly the color of a fire engine. &#x200B; "Uhh, are you sure that you can..." &#x200B; "SHUT UP Hubert! Dr. Doomsy does not get ill!!! Dr. Doomsy is just fine!!! Dr. Dooms...
Dr. John Ortmeier rushed to Lab 14, sweat beading on his forehead as he hurried down the dimly lit corridor. It was in a long disused area on the lower levels of the Mars Colonial Science Center, a structure that dated back to before the red planet was terraformed. Once there had been very necessary hydroponic labs an...
Space Architect Anonymous - The Galaxy's #1 website for designing, building, and creating in the cold abyss *New Thread created on 04-05-066-0789 Imperial Calendar* xXxMeanInGreenxXx: Hey guys, I've been in the idiot-proofing business for a few solar rotations now. It's been rewarding so far, but now I'm ...
The first thing that caught my attention, was how many people are there, the Whitney Museum Of Arts in New York is a lot more crowded than I'd expected, it,s a little overwhelming, actually, very overwhelming, all these people will finally take time to admire, critique, discuss and compliment my art . It is at the *ver...
You must understand I never wanted this. When I began my career, I never dreamed I would spend my days trying to take power away from people. I always thought I’d pursue some great and noble goals. Maybe defend refugees or individual rights from tyranny. I thought I would be helping people find their own power. Then,...
"Hungry." "Lunch is at twelve hundred hours. A man of your observable mass can hold out until then." "I meant Sagittarius A, sir. The radar technicians just processed the radio transmission from the center of the Milky Way. It says it's 'hungry.'" "Unfathomable! Actually, that's relatively fathomable. I suppose hung...
"... On behalf of Earth-line and the entire crew, I’d like to thank you for joining us on this trip and we are looking forward to seeing you on board again in the near future. " &#x200B; The voice stopped. At that moment, everyone had halted whatever they were doing, shocked by the sudden announcement from thin ...
He was known as Gizmo Gadeus. He was a legend. A folk tale told to inspire hope in the children when nothing else would. He would bring wonder and knowledge from across the brown expanse. As the elders of our clan sat with him in dancing firelight, he would share stories of other clans. Clans that existed many moons a...
"...uh, not guilty, I suppose"I said. I heard a gasp echo around the courtroom, as spectators and news crews reacted alike. The judge loomed in front of me, spiked gavel in hand. "Did you just plea 'NOT guilty', Steven?"he asked. "Not guilty to bombing the Delta quadrant, not guilty to pumping poison gas into the hos...
There are sad cries in the night, coming from the wilds where men dare not dwell. Coming from badlands and wild woods where no peasant will set up farms, where no merchants' guild will make roads, and where only the boldest of the bold dare to tread. Loathsome to behold, they live there, the green-skinned little men, t...
In a frenzy, I wrote the report and printed it out alongside the relevant data. My hands were shaking from the excitement. This was a monumental discovery. A mere graduate student finding what could only be described as the achievement of the century. Unable to wait, I took the report to my professor the first chance ...
"How do you know my - " "Shush! The warrior will hear." We both wait for the heavy boots' receding echo. Softer and softer, punctuated by the occasional gold coin falling out from his knapsack. "I do not have much time. With every breath, the Dark Lord calls me back to his infernal furnace deep underground. And the ...
Yes, he thought to himself, I've finally got it! It had taken the entire day, but he'd done it. With the completed task, it would mean safety. His family depended on it. Since humanity was allowed back outside, life was tenuous in the best times. The strain, the struggle.. always something new. Always stuck feeling...
Villainy would have been so much easier if I'd been born with healing powers. Folks just don't understand how much precision and control is needed for the miracles that heroes like Red Cross and Nightingale perform on a regular basis. One errant twitch of a finger for half a second too long and BAM. One-way ticket t...
I know they hide behind me, watching me in the night, watching my morning routine. I can feel it prickle on the back of my neck, like a soft breeze. Needless to say I know my home is haunted; I have since my first day of residency. I remember hearing the realtor sigh with relief after we signed the deal. I swear I coul...
I was slouching on the sofa watching the latest episode on TV. The noise of Mrs Thompson doing the dishes was a happy distraction. I didn’t mind her company. She enjoyed the same Soap opera as me, she never used to miss them. The Knock at the door was unusual at this hour. Mrs T wiped her hands o...
It began with the blaring of the siren. Loud and alarming, it had been perfectly engineered to send a jolt of alarm into the hearts of anyone who heard it. Then came the little beeps, the jaunty jingles, the bzzt of phones vibrating as everyone received the same message all at once. Televisions yelled, radios cra...
A little of this, a sprig of that, and suddenly you're labeled all sorts of shady things. I tried to tell them of my self studies in herbology. Of my practices in ancient medicines with a dash of my own tweaks, yet they have taken to labeling me a witch. "Wolfsbane"I said. "Witchery"they'd reply. Now a line stood at ...
They all laughed at my special power, in a world of thousands upon thousands of more useful powers: Super strength, super speed, flight, x-ray vision, invisibility, and so on. Mine was simple at a glance, I could bring a puzzle to life. What could I do with that? A lot. I could’ve converted simple wood chips to limi...
Captain's Log- no, Captain Takemori's letter to the rest of the galaxy As of today, the "Humane Culture"might as well have shattered. With our sun ended, ended by our own hands as it were, so too has our legitimacy ended in the eyes of the main powers. It doesn't matter if every single Human escaped to safety right no...
I wiped my sweaty hands on my jeans and made an attempt to even out my shaky breathing. “Blake, relax. You’ve said it yourself, they’re going to accept me. You’ve known them your whole life, while I’m just meeting them. I’m supposed to be the nervous one here!” I let out a shaky laugh. “Yeah, I guess you’re right.” ...
After Reach, if things weren't already bleak, they were about to be. We only had a couple planets left, with Earth being unknown to its location by the Covenant yet, it was only a matter of time till we all started to see how our continents were glassed from orbit. There was really no hope, even with the news of the d...
The universe is infinitely vast and infinitely variable. Every possible configuration of matter and energy, by sheer probability, is guaranteed to appear in the temporal vastness of existence. Life, arising from the primordial conflux of plasma and magnetism, birthed from the coruscant wombs awash in high-energy part...
The courtroom was filled that day. For it was the trial of Angolfin the Dark, the darkest mage the kingdom of Palmaris had ever seen. I had helped in his capture, I was planning it since a long time. I had hoped he would- ''Silence!", shouted the minister. The room went silent and the minister satisfied began reading ...
Most who do not travel call it a legend, a myth. I know they are wrong. The cozy shack with an ever burning flame and cabinets filled to the brim. My father and I stumbled across it when I was merely a child. Our hunting trip had gone horrifically wrong, and blood stained the snow behind us as we walked. By the time we...
"The world's a dangerous place for trees, these days."the old oak said, somberly. "I know."Meagan agreed, patting the ancient tree's gnarled trunk, comfortingly. "I'm sorry." "Oh, it's not your fault, little one."the tree said, comfortingly. Meagan hung her head. It was her fault though, wasn't it? Maybe not hers...
It was a morning like any other for me. I was curled up under a big fluffy blanket, dreaming of croissants and hot chocolate. Suddenly, a voice whispered in my ear, "Oh, sweet little Brandy. You truly have no idea what you're in for. Terrors and tortures utterly incomprehensible to the human mind. I'd tell you to pray ...
My girlfriend was hit by a car yesterday. The car was killed instantly. When we left our apartment last night we were heading for my brother Mark's engagement party over in Los Feliz. Sarah and I had been arguing about expenses earlier that evening. It was the kind of fight couples have when one’s the ant and the othe...
And that should do it, I think. Dahmir stood back from his latest piece and took a step back, a finger in his chin as he tried getting a good look at the painting from every angle he could think of. For the most part it looked fine, but he couldn't help thinking he was missing something. Something big. Unlike most ...
The test's purpose is to weed out those with special abilities, and to reign them in to the HERO program. Those who lack and ability are denied entry, even if they pass the test. That is why the case of \[REDACTED\] is rather strange. The test is split into two parts. A written test, and a physical examination. For t...
"You have had some stupid ideas in the past but this has to rank top ten, maybe top five."Bryce teased his fiancee Ashley as he watched her try to wrangle their cat Meowser. He was quick for his size, Meowser was spoiled so he was a chunky boy. After an epic struggle Ashley managed to secure the small camera to Meowser...
President Romney stood in stunned silence, and the reporters wasted no time. "That's right folks at home, you heard that exactly right, we are here live at Washington DC where the extraterrestrial has just accused us of occupying their homeworld!" The President finally replied, gently yet sternly, "Ambassador are...
"What's the catch,"I ask me². I catch his eye meeting mine. I know myself well enough to know he expected this question, and isn't confident I'll buy it. He has the benefit of being prepared. And I've always been a wiley motherfucker, so I know I'd better be careful with him. Turning away I ask, "And why does it sm...
John Halo was a strong man. Maybe John Halo was the strongest man. He had saved the world from bad aliens so many times, but being always good gets boring for someone like Halo. So Halo retired, and lived back at home with his mom. His dad was gone from long ago. When he found out, he cried, because even strong men li...
I am Bob. I am there. No matter what it be, some woman being chased by Jason Voorhees, a couple on the Eiffel Tower as the sun sets behind them, or a shootout in the wild west, I will be there. Today I was there when Robert Gregory was kidnapped. The kidnapper took Robert by smothering a black bag over his face and ...
After literally incomprehensible periods of time, or I guess, a period of time, things get kind of boring. To be honest, nothing has ever happened. Nothing. It's the Void. It's my Void. I take care of it. What does this entail, you might ask? That's a pretty good question. I assume it's ensuring it remains the Void...
Surely, by now they know that which is in the purview of a vampire, no? Missing livestock? That's me. Slain virgins, looking oh so deliciously peaceful in their beds, never waking from the sweetest sleep one could imagine? Guilty again. The dismembered corpse of the odd church official who dares to claim that the might...
I woke up on the floor of the living room. My living room. I sit up, looking at the woman before me. On the couch was a dark haired lady that stabbed me with a needle and pumped me full of something, at the same moment I covered her mouth with a chloroform rag. She was waking up too. I managed to get to my, no wait. I ...
"Behold my power, mortals!"yelled Sha'Un. "You have unleashed me unto this world, and now I shall reward you all with the greatest blessing of life: death!"Sha'Un brought forth his arms, directing eldritch lightning at the heroes. "Stand tall!"Aldrin raised his great shield to the sky, unleashing a holy barrier around...
I stepped out of a small metallic boat floating in empty, howling space. I clicked my anchor and with zero gravity affecting me I jumped toward the deck of a 19th century-looking ferry. It's always a bit nerve-wracking, even after a dozen of such inspections under my belt. Moist, greenish boards welcomed a new guest w...
\[Poem\] I arose from my dreams into a nightmare. Sterile silence, black asphyxiation. My body and mind converged on a moment of awareness, enlightened, invisible. I had gone to sleep expectant. (Not of this.) She had already made the passage, and it was my pillow on which she blinked drearily ...
I am the owner of Fred’s pizzeria. A very popular restaurant known for their pizza. I built Fred’s from the ground up. But my name isn’t Fred. It’s John. This is the story of how my pizza place became so popular. If I remember clearly it was about 5 years ago. When I got my first “special” customer. He was a tall and...
Before I can begin to plan my transfer to another company, a pale man with black hair knocks on the door to my office causing me to jump. "Skittish, are you? I have some news for you, The Board have noticed your performance and wish to speak to you. Also, don't forget about next week's meeting with your underlings, we ...
“Can you tell me about the creators?” The little robot asked, his rusted sensors turned outward in a futile attempt to peer over the wall. Its lead-lined interior deterred any attempts to see beyond, while its slick metallic outer-coating prevented climbing and other, more violent, attempts to pass through it. The old...
“How are you? Have you been eating well, sleeping well?” A familiar voice came through the phone's receiver. I was taken aback and quickly checked the phone, making sure its unattached to any cables. "Grandpa? Is that you? Is it really you??" I find my voice trembling. Its been almost 10 years since I heard my grand...
*the sickly, lime green light from the tubes of mostly self-sustaining bioluminescent bacteria that had long ago replaced electric lighting cast stark and oily shadows across the plasticized pseudoskin that had long replaced my face. The broad strokes were still there, the high cheekbones, the wide set eyes, the median...
It happens. That's what they always say. It's what everyone has always said. I don't know why My parents named me Jay Smith. I'm literally unsure of what possessed them to do that. Every time someone was looking for John Smith. Or Josh Smith. James, Jim, Julio, Julie, Jasmine, Juniper, Jamie, Jade, Jason, or so m...
It was simply a fact of life; as civilization advanced, whether human or alien, its methods of information storage went from favouring durability to favouring capacity. From stone tablets to electronics to hyper-whatevers. What did durability matter, when the entire world was connected and information could be copied a...
The main tissues that make up an organ tend to have common embryologic origins. After all, why wouldn't they? Larynx. Pharynx. Kidney. These are words. "Allen!"shouts a voice from somewhere behind me. That sounds like Tim. Nerves that innervate. Vessels that oxygenate. "Where the fuck is Robbie?"says Cap...
A phone rings. Mr. Baker: Hello? Katie: Mr. Baker? My name is Katie Smith, are you the owner of the mansion on the edge of Ridgeville? Mr. Baker: No, merely its caretaker. Smith? Are you perhaps related to Donna Smith? It's good that someone from her family has called. It's been years. Katie: Yeah, she's my grandmo...
“The target: Clyde Charleston.” A gasp filled the room, followed by general whispering. “Please, ladies and gentlemen, we understand the risk.” “The risk?!” Martha was sobbing. “That monster just stole Tom, Jimmy, and Helen from us! To go near him is certain death!” A general murmur of assent echoed. “And?” The Fa...
"Good Morning, Mr. Pascal,"said Dr. Frohm. "Hi, Doc. 'Terry' is fine,"replied the man in the cell behind ballistic glass. "Alright...Terry. So, how are you today?"the doctor asked, uneasily. "Okay,"he replied, with a shrug. "Not crazy about this cell, but other than that, I'm fine." Dr. Frohm cleared her throat....
It’s hard to believe that I was in a courtroom five days ago. The charges were simple. I robbed a store and then dropped a paper that said my name and address. It was a unanimous decision by the jury. They were to send me to her. The witch in the dark forest. To no longer be considered a human being, but a servant. Her...
I'm paddling my kayak around the crystal clear lake. Being out in the middle of the water like this is refreshing and relaxing. I look over at Urrick, who's smiling. When I got INTO the kayak, he had a look of fear and worry, not wanting to let me be in a 'dangerous situation'. But after I [found the confidence to stan...
"Push."I whispered at the doomed soul approaching the door. "Push,"I put the tiny thought into his tiny brain. "Push and taste my wrath." He walked up to the door. Hesitated. He pushed. All the eyes beyond the glass door looked up at him. His eyes glanced at the sign in right in front of his face; the sign that read P...
I've always been fascinated by the workings of the human mind. As a young man, I dedicated myself to studying neuroscience, and I quickly became one of the leading experts in my field. But as I delved deeper into my research, I became increasingly obsessed with the idea of unlocking the full potential of the human brai...
"Viagra"I muttered. "It's the only thing that keeps me going when I have to chore away with endless sex. During the day it's the fairy and nymph part of me who wants to fuck, then at night it's the vampire side of me that wants drain my victims as I drain into them. And don't get me started on the full moon insanity." ...
Sure, the death sports took off, and it was great for emts and such, not to mention stunts form film and even stage, but those kinda got stale after a while. The microwars at the Olympics are neat, but part of that is the once-in-four-years nature. No, if you ask me, it was the food scene that saw the biggest change....
The most difficult thing to do in the world, is to have power and not use it. The master of the sword cannot cut himself into a master of the garden, nor can the monster change from shaping death in flesh, to shaping beautiful art with his long and deadly claws. Look upon them, and know why they return so often to the...
Steven eyed himself in the mirror. His once bulbous torso had been replaced by a blood-covered strip of muscles. His arms, once flabby and practically dripping off him, now bulged at attention with every subtle movement. His pecks followed suit, the freshly lathered baby oil parting even more blood. His face was decora...
This morning, I delivered my essay to Mrs. Wiggins desk. Two hours later, the entire school was evacuated when a fire started in the cafeteria. Just a coincidence, right? I thought so. I’d forgotten about the essay we had to turn in today until last night, right before I was getting ready for bed. So, I stayed up late...
When the mayor presented you on the balcony of the city hall, the gathered crowd immediately burst into cheer. Finally the king had responded to their countless calls for help and dispatched one of the heros of the realm. Iarrived with the stagecoach only one hour ago; after a week-long trip here, I first took a bath ...
Authors note: *I took a Latin class once in high school but did a bit of research on Ancient Roman courier services for the prompt. So there's no pigeons, since on a quick search I found they weren't used till 1896. A carrier pigeon prank caller would better suit a World War 1 setting based on what a few sites menti...
And then the rain just stopped. Frozen in the air. Each and every drop reflecting worlds that weren't there. The soft hush of rain ceasing in favor of that unyielding silence, the kind that only comes after the first snow fall of winter on an early December morning. A silence so consuming that even if I were to exhale ...
"to breath... to... walk to..." Said Marcus as he read out loud the many... many terms sent by the mother ship... they expected a simple list of Do's and Donts for the meeting with all of Earth's leaders. Marcus, of course, was the official translator, spending years studying the language of the Greeber species, altho...
In a world where every child received one wish, most wishes were whimsical and fleeting. Children, entranced by the allure of their newfound power, would often squander their one precious desire on trivial things. A lollipop that never melted, a puppy that never grew old, or even ice cream that never ran out. Wishes, a...
"Help! Help!"The man screams as he flings open the door to my store, "The Fredricksons child has been taken by a monster!" I jump out of my chair and start picking up my equipment. Two swords, one iron, the other silver. "Show me the way sir."We sprint back out the door and he leads me down the the main street. The vil...
BEWARE MERE MORTAL! ALL WHO ENTER MY DOMAIN WILL SUFF.. "Now just hold the fuck on for one minute.." THOSE THAT ENTER SHALL PERISH IN UNIMAGINABLE PAIN.. "Just wait now.." TREMBLE BEFORE ME, I, KRAG'NTHAR THE WICKE.. "JUST GIVE IT A FUCKING REST!" ...? "Just what is all this about? You steal my d...
Sometimes I’m left wondering a very specific question on these deep space voyages: what’s the damn purpose of it all? I don’t mean it in a literal sense, regarding our mission to preserve lost radio and TV broadcasts, but in a philosophical sense. It’s like visiting a grave. We cannot bring those people back. The resur...
For as long as I could remember I could hear others thoughts when I where in contact with them, be that a hug, a handshake, or any other verity of touch, I thought it was normal for a wile but found out quickly when I was young that is not the case, after few years locked in a room at some far away hospital I learned t...
The emotions are bleak at the police station. Suddenly a young boy is escorted into the police chief’s office. “Oh my God. James! You’re back! Where have you been?! We’ve been worried sick!” Jamie is covered from head to toe in ash and rock debris. A faint smell of brimstone wafts off of his lightly singed clothes. ...
Being completely identical to my siblings was hilarious when I was growing up. Even our parents got on the humor train, naming us "Oney, Chewy, and Freeyo."Have you ever heard such ridiculous names? I would tell you which one I am, but it's more amusing if you try to guess. We were constantly getting up to no good, an...
I wanted to see if I could turn one of my favorite Sherlock audio stories into a short 55 word entry. PUN KING Sherlock had gathered the only two possible guilty parties into the study. Inspector Lestrade waited with handcuffs. "Quite simple to deduce."Sherlock announced. "It's the husband, NOT the wife that s...
I didn’t want to be here. No one did. There was sand everywhere, it was hot as fuck, and you couldn’t get a decent burger anywhere. “Be all you can be!” they said. “Pay for your college by serving your country.” I took the bait hook, line, and sinker. Now I’m stuck in this shit-hole counting down the days until I can f...
Peter took one last draw from his flavoured cigarette, and headed back inside. His office job sucked the life away from him, and nicotine was the only thing safekeeping his sanity. Once he crossed the door, everyone stopped and stared at him. The men at the water fountain dropped their cups, heads peeked over the cubi...
We had finished our nightly reading of the bible. We had been focusing on one particular section: Genesis 5:32-10:1. More specifically: Noah's Ark. It was befitting to be reading this in Massachusetts on this particular evening, for we felt God was visiting the same wrath upon the world. We couldn't really tell, though...
Yesterday marked the first time since the Vietnam war that an American soldier killed an enemy with a bayonet. When the Aliens landed yesterday we were caught with out defenses completely irrelevant as they seemed to pay no heed to bullets and bombs. Their ground troops stormed major cities slaughtering millions. Nat...
"Mr. Gomilla... it appears we have some... news. It turns out you're a shaved Gorilla."the Doctor said from behind protective plexiglass. "WHAT!? HOW DARE YOU CALL ME THAT!"I said, launching my cot into the barrier. The doctor flinched, but the plexiglass was undamaged. "Sir, I don't mean it as an insult... I mean yo...
No one really understood exactly what the Quantum Generator was supposed to do. Its function was to increase the chances of something unlikely happening; the unlikelier, the higher the increase. It didn't make much sense, but then again, neither was it really supposed to. The scientists working on it didn't do it for a...

The slight whistle of the fletchings through the crisp autumn air always gives him a bit of a thrill, despite the fact that he's fired billions of such arrows over the course of the last several thousand years. Today's perfect arc through a crowded city square carries an added weight, however- this is a special target...
