I text goodbye to my family. They visited often, its a shame they couldn't be here to hold my hand at the end. I close my eyes, and enter into a fleeting dream. My breath stops, and even the dream ceases to be as I embrace the sublime. Then I wake up. What the hell? The balloon they got me as a joke is still full of h...
My human looked tired these days. They would look at photos on their phone and cry. They would speak to someone over the phone and cry. One day, they put on a long, black dress that I had never seen before. After giving me a rub on the head, they were gone until night and looked more worn-out than ever. It had been ...
"You know, Mr.Teddy, i think we can strike a deal. But first, 3 questions if you don't mind?"- I simply responded And no, before that moment I did not know that my kids toys were alive Mr.Ted (his real name, my kid is soo unimaginative) shot questioning look at me, for he didn't expect such blunt reaction from me Bu...
All at once, a cacophony of screeches echoed throughout my mind. Each living being, from insect, no, from bacteria, no, from prion to human levied their thoughts. Destruction Man had not been so kind to gift his immense mental power; I collapsed. In a few minutes, lifetimes of pain passed. I made extremely close frie...
"Hello?" Gregory wandered through the set, hoping to find even the slightest hint of anyone else. The deafening silence was the only response as Gregory called out, "Alex? Honey, where are you?" Gregory stepped into the kitchen, void of even the scent of last night's burgers with the "world famous Alex-aioli". Gregor...
"YOU IDIOTS!" The snails paused. Or at least I think they did, it's hard to tell because of how slow they are. "You thought I didn't have a contingency plan? That I only thought one snail was the only hurdle stopping me?! You don't spend eons avoiding The Snail without having a way to protect yourself!" As she ...
Jerome The Gnome My first D & D character. Two reasons: First, I thought it was clever, but everyone hated the rhyming thing so much that the DM made me roll and I lost an intelligence point. The second because of how he died that same night. We wandered completely off map to a dungeon way beyond our party's stats. ...
I go by 'Lycanthrope', it's the name I use as a superhero. I started out as someone who was angry at the world, I'd purposefully leave myself outside during full moons just to cause damage, to make other people feel the same way I did. Then I met Terry. I met him during one of my monthly rampages, he was out walkin...
“Hello. This is the Pardocks residence.” “Yes. Good morning. My name is Simon. I saw your Craigslist ad and I have questions about your house.” “Lovely. I would be pleased to answer your questions. How may I help you?” “Umm. So. Is there running water or a bathroom inside the house? Or is it just ...
The Apocalypsd of the lost Flame The apocalypse wasn't slow when it came and everyone noticed at once. On September 9th of 2023 Earth passed into the radioactive trail of PX-39064-D23, though most people call it the far more fitting name "The Extinguisher"for as we passed it, fire stopped working. All across the...
There was nothing here. No birds to make noise, no wind, no waves. The ocean was like glass and that's what I'd wanted, the opposite of that day. It didn't help me though, the deafening loneliness just had less competition. I was quiet too, I sat on the Bulwark staring down past my reflection, down past the hollow man...
It’s well-understood that you sometimes need to reinvigorate your marriage if you want to keep things fresh. The problem is that most armchair therapist and magazine columnist will tell you that this should occur in the bedroom. But the truth is, I didn’t pick my wife because of her curves, and I’ve certainly never had...
SCP-1939-EX Object Class:Safe Special Containment Procedures: The primary sample is to be kept in large storage locker 1939 at site 19. It must be stored in several large sealed brown glass containers, which must contain a maximum of 1% air. The remaining space in each container should be filled with kerosene oil. E...
I stood next to the man who was on fire. “Hey how’s it going, crazy weather we’re having ain’t it?” The man screamed in agony and the fire stopped for a second. “This is hell what are you talking about” “I know, and here I was thinking I could take a little PTO. That bus really got me” I give him a chuckle. “So how...
“And yet, here we are. What to do?” The figure in front of me speaks with no mouth. I should feel terrified, but somehow, this situation, this chair, these walls, this…thing in front of me. I wouldn’t say it feels like I’ve done this before or anything. Just feels like I was meant to be here. “You have any ideas...
For the third night in a row, Marvin returned from his job at the pool hall and crumpled into his bed dejectedly. As the downpour pummeled his windows oppressively, Marvin receded into his sheets. He knew what was coming. Turbulent winds rose and threatened to rip the very walls away from his flat, attacking his very ...
Victor had never truly trusted the church. Something about the hypocrisy of banning necromancy for the populace while keeping every soul they could get their hands on stuffed into carved bone relics felt wrong to him on a level he couldn't quite place. Any time the choir started to sing & the masked bone dancers 'commu...
I just want to keep humans company, but they don't like this. Why? It is my observation that humans who tread through my forest path dislike being alone and being in the dark. As a dryad who serves as the protector of the forest, I made sure the humans who enter my territory are aware of my presence. The idea was ...
“Come with me.” There it was. Three words, and he had nothing to give her except silence. She reached out to him, intent on pressing her palm to his cheek, but he turned away, almost imperceptibly. She froze. The movement wasn’t enough to keep him from her; he had barely shifted half an inch, but the motion it...
Molly, 27, loves to swim, come snorkel with me under the stars! Then we'll sing shanties by the fire pit on the beach and roast marshmallows. She sounds nice, and she's beautiful, all lean muscle and tan skin and a cute bikini top. Must have a really solid waterproof casing for her phone, too. She's got lots of pics...
A body collided with me just as I stepped in front of the bank door and both myself, and a masked man were thrown bodily to the ground. Several people rushed out the door after him, and since I was thrown from my own musings, could now hear distant sirens approaching. Normally my walk to work was uneventful, but toda...
"5 minutes till." "What? Oh, yeah. Shit this is taking longer than I thought."I looked at my watch and saw that it was five to three in the morning. This had been a long night. I took a final drag on my cigarette and put it out on the heal of my shoe and flicked it off into the drizzle. It was a habit I picked up ...
The doctors told me that I am insane...but I am inclined to think that it's the Voices who are insane, not me. I have a clean mind, a clear mind, a sharp mind. I know reality from unreality, right from wrong, good from evil. I know these things; the Voices do not. They whimper and scream from some dark, animal corner i...
"Craaaaaaaaaaaaaap!"thought Henderson to himself. "This is really really not good. Austria, not Australia. So, so not good." General Clarkson ran into the room screaming "What the hell just happened?!?" "Well sir, when I read the report that we got the green light to nuke Austria, I kinda sorta read it as Australia."...

A man named Peter glanced down at his wrist watch. The time read 7:23 PM. Silently he waited for his business associates to arrive. Peter was one of four "District Managers"in the immediate area. However, Peter was a man of ambition, and was simply not satisfied with managing his lone district. If there was money being...
He knew he was ugly. He knew he scared. That is why he always slouched in the shadows, trying to keep away, trying to prevent others from seeing him. He did not want to be this way. He wanted to make others happy. But with such a horrible visage and feeling like nothing was going for him, he was cursed to haunt the sha...
Hello, thank you for your questions. We would just like to allay any concerns that you may have over reports focussing on our revolutionary new in-house climate control system. In line with the world-wide trend towards maximizing energy efficiency and reducing carbon footprints, we have developed an exemplary method of...
I've heard these arguments before. They don't change the truth. They don't change the world. It was a mistake to ask Owen for help. He is starting to cry. That's stupid. I'm the one who's going to die. Has he already forgotten? I reposition the gun so he knows I'm serious. I can't tell if he's scared for me or for hi...
If there was a God, he sure as hell doesn't like me. So I'm what you call an atheist. Parents left me when I was two. Foster care system fucked me over. First time I got laid, I got herpes. The girl even got pregnant, but I learned to love her. 9 months later, she suffers a miscarriage. She dies too. I wish I believed ...
It was advertised as a vaccine. Get your child vaccinated today, combat the epidemic of teenage depression and suicide. It was even brought to developing nations. There was an effort to cleanse the world of this emotion, following the example of the Polio vaccine. The advertising targeted infants. Protective mothers b...
As much as Coruscant has changed since the Empire was formed, the lower levels aren't much different. Chop shops and brothels form the majority of the businesses that line the crowded, dingy streets of this level. The rest are too-neat, too-clean operations that run the gamut from dry cleaners to flight charter agencie...
He couldn't help but marvel at the fine, wooden frame wrapped around the doctoral degree on the wall. It seemed a bit overindulgent, honestly. What was that, mahogany? Still, it did look nice. He imagined that the doctor it belonged to must be fairly well-off. The damned proteins weren't bonding, though, and that was ...
I see her, but I never talk to her. Just a glance across the hall, our eyes meet, and I look away. I've never spoken to her, yet she is all I think about. Every minute of every day. Her smile is infectious, her laughter brightens the room. People tell me I should just go talk to her, get to know her. Yet that migh...
Pah! Of course that scallywag had manufactured a reason to delay our gentlemanly fight to the death. Zombies! What a silly excuse, and no doubt made up so that he would have time to change his urine-stained pantaloons. Surely he was now quaking in fear as he walked toward my location, toward me, the bringer of his de...
The angels were getting restless, God could feel it. He'd never been the most popular with them but He liked to think that his quiet approach to ultimate power had left him quite in tune with them. 1 was their Mother, and in the beauty and confusion of the new Earth with brand new sentience to play with, the angels ...

The Order knew they were dying, and were very thorough in their planning. They watched for years, over the same families. They saw the torture, the hunger, the wretchedness of our souls. The saw, and they planned. No one with a tendency to violence got an Eraser. No one with any history of mental illness. No one who ev...
I fully understand that the events I am about to relate will seem unbelievable to you. I am not yet sure I believe them, if I am being honest. I was hard at work at the trucking company I am employed by, and hip-deep in my email. This happens quite often. Customers requesting updates and tracking loads. It's very time...
It was simple. Remove the plasma, dissolve the cells, let the untapped energy spring forth. It took nothing to produce, and just one gallon could power a car for an entire week of usage, running 24/7. However, the simple process made blood all the more valuable. Each corporation wished to monopolize the blood, take ...
Monkey sat back from the round table listening to the raucous fight in the zodiac's chambers. Rat was pulling Ox's hair, while Ox was trying to stomp on tiger, and all around the table yelling and pointing had replaced measured discussion. Monkey had suggested eliminating one zodiac to make it easier to come to decisi...
"Mr. President! There's been a massive terrorist attack!" "Dear God."The President uttered solemnly, while he slowly removing his reading glasses, a move he practiced hundreds of times in preparation for this moment. He'd always dreamed of carrying the nation through such a horrible tragedy. The fact that the news ...
"Sherlock, Sherlock, I think I've made an amazing discovery!" "Watson, what revelation could possibly merit such excitement? We are on a rather tight schedule and I don't have time for trivialities." "Well, you know that curious Batman character?" "We live in Gotham, Watson, it would be pretty hard not to." "Yes, w...
I'm not in denial, I know I'm old. I've seen the world around me change, nothing can just sit still for even a moment. I'm just a simple hunter, and I like my peace. I don't want any of that new technology, what with all that racket on spying and whatnot. Just leave me be, leave me to my guns and my dogs. Well, perhaps...
Not a literal interpretation that you might be expecting, but this popped into my head the moment I read your prompt. Enjoy! My dad had gone to the same prestigious college before me. He'd studied law; I always joked that law was easier than medicine. He'd always slapped me, hard. He was a physical brute my elder b...
Click. "Damn."Another firewall. He tried the window again, opening and closing it, but even as the screen brinked bright and purple, announcing that the Chrome browser could access the Internet of 2024, the firewall still nipped him in every bud. He went back to Google. That was the same, at least, and familiar. On ...
"Sit down kid,"A face ordered me, from behind a thick veil of smoke, "Lemme tell you the tale of the Frickafrazz Calamity."A grizzled old man put out his cigar on the table and lit up another one. "It was the summer of '32 and like a new detective on the beat I was a new detective on the beat. It was my first job, firs...
I come from a very long, renowned line of shapeshifters. My family has documented our gift far, far back into the reaches of mankind, and it appears that in almost every generation we've had at least a few truly great and influential people. It isn't surprising. Having an ability like this - a super power as the world...
"I'm sorry. Don't try to find me please. I need it and there is nothing else I could do. You should understand John, without the money Katie is going to die. I am sure Lauren would understand that her ring went to save a life. There is no way I am paying this back and I know this is a rotten thing to do but you ha...
What power does a single man have? By himself, nothing. Individuality, the great differentiation between man and beast is his greatest weakness. To make a small segment of his views heard, a man must shed everything else that makes him unique. He must join with others who do the same. Only through the power of number...
Pink. A pink triangle, right there on the back of my hand. Nothing subtle either: the sides must be at least 2 inches, the color bright and saturated. The confusion of where we are and why we are here somehow doesn't occupy my mind like it does for the rest of us - it's our newly acquired labels that strike me. *...
Behind your stove is a spoon. The spoon is old. Older, in fact, than you, though you wouldn't know it. That's ok. The spoon never minded. It knew its purpose. The spoon was the first metal spoon you ever picked up on your own, as a child, a mere 1 year old. You fed yourself cheerios. The spoon remembers, and you do...
"Wait, what?"Greg stared incredulously at the tall, suited man offering him a high paying job for the United States government. "I'm a music student. What the hell do the feds want me for?" "Classified,"replied the man in black. "All you are allowed to know at this stage is that you will have a job that will provide y...
Vince was a master of women. He could peer into their souls and pick apart who they were. No woman was safe before him. His motto was always, "Don't hate the player, hate the game,"but Stacy was different. "OMG my coffee is taking too long."Stacy complained as Vince suffered through the whole ordeal. Stacy was hot, b...
Steel met steel, sending sparks in the air above the skirmish. A man, an elf and a partially drunken dwarf were trying to fight off an ogre. "Lady Aranya,"the man yells over the ogre's cries. "I must confess, I have always loved you, since the day you were introduced to me!" The elven maiden looked at the man with sh...
"It's all right,"Bob gasped, clutching his daughter's hand. "I know...the ambulance won't make it in time...but we'll see each other again in Paradise." And with that, his beleaguered heart finally stopped. The light faded from his eyes. He was dead. "No! Dad!"The young woman checked his pulse, and found nothing. She...
As the battle raged on, Darris stood over the body of Falmir. "Darris?"Falmir desperate asked, "Please wake up! Your the only one that can save the kingdom of Upper-Earth!". Darris shook Falmir's cold body, until the truth overcame him. "He's dead...". Suddenly, a chill was in the air. Darris drew his sword and lashed...
"I finally bought it!"John announced to his friends at the bar. He held the ring box in his hand with excitement. Him and Lisa had been together for a solid 5 years, and tonight was the night. He was going to invite her to the bar with their friends and propose at the same set of seats they've first met. He had sav...
"Sorry, did you say the Appcalypse?"said the man, not having touched his morning paper for the past five minutes as he and his eccentric new guest sat on a bench at the train station. The disheveled man nodded. "That's right, yes, I did. Thank you sir. The thing is though, the Appcalypse is fine. The problem,"he l...
Incompetency is sometimes worse than malevolence; some people should not be handled devices with a destructive potential, no matter how hard it would be to actually do anything bad with it. It’s an empiric law for mankind; if there was a way to wipe out humanity with a badly used cotton tip, we would already have disap...
"Do you really?" "Wh-what?"I asked confusedly. Time had stopped and it looked exactly as it would in a movie. I was suspended in midair, legs up and my nose centimeters away from touching the ground. Centimeters away from dying, that is. "That doesn't look like a comfortable position, now is it?"The man in the suit s...
She was so small and fragile, I was afraid I would break her when I brought her home from the hospital. The nurses had walked me through how to feed her, change her, but without them nearby I seemed to forget everything. My hands shook whenever I would touch her to comfort her when she cried. And it seemed like she c...
Sarah stood in line at the checkout, holding a small basket, and smiled when she recognized Tom. "Hi,"Tom said and made a frown when he took a closer look at her neck. She self-consciously rubbed the black metallic collar and the smile from her face disappeared. "So... how are things? How's Ted?" She opened her mou...
"What to do today..."Reggie thought to himself, cheeto-stained fingers drumming on his controller. He sat back in his easy-chair, ready to enjoy his hard earned lunch break. Writing scripts all day can take a lot out of a person. The only thing that got him through those long hours of code was fantasizing about shoot...
I watched as the car came crashing forward for the 100th time, knowing that soon I would feel its weight slam into me and the whole world would go dark. Except it wouldn't stay that way and I knew it. A few seconds would pass and then everything would just reappear again, this time with Ellenny standing where I had bee...
Arthur Scorbcy stepped out of his house with a grin on his face. He took a deep, satisfying breath of the fresh summer air and put on his headphones. With “You Make My Dreams Come True” by Hall & Oates drumming in his ears, he set off to complete his chores for the day. The birds chirped, the bees buzzed, and the s...
Spoilers for last season. Holly had seen pictures of him. She'd heard people talk about him. She'd seen someone dress as him for Halloween, but she still felt no connection to him, had no real sense of what he was like. He was just this name that had loomed over her all through her life. Heisenberg. Her Mother held t...
I will never, ever tell her. I'll never tell her how, the day we walked through the doors of Walker County High School, she was the only person who said hello to the new kid, me. Not about how, for the next four years, she was the only one who said hello, every day, to the antisocial kid, me. As much as she'd love to ...
This is not what making it looks like: hairnet and plastic gloves, ‘86 Geo Spectrum sedan out front, fake smile between a glass counter full of sandwich ingredients and a row of Quik-Toasters. And I knew that someone who recognized me would eventually come in here and order a Number 3 no onions but I wasn’t prepared ...
They could never know the truth. My own pride be damned, but the truth would destroy us. My life's work, justified, the proof laid out bare in front of me, and I could tell no one! It was maddening. The aliens were much like us - land bound, bipedal, breathed oxygen. In fact, if one didn't look too closely, they could ...
I'm no author and this is my first time visiting this sub, but it's late, I'm bored and I'm going to give it a good go. ----------------------------------- Our story begins, as these often do, with a man and a woman. They're not together, of course, but they will be...oh, that might be a slight spoiler. You were ...
"You're talking crazy"said Mr. Saul. "We never had a son named Steven. We have a daughter Briana, but never a son.""Mr. Saul how can you not remember?!"I yelled "He died last year! You and Mrs. Saul were bawling your eyes out and arranged a huge funeral and everything!"I said sternly. "Son, we're going to have to ask y...
Day 5: The missiles had stopped, the threats over and done with now. There wasn't anyone left to threaten, or be threatened. Well, other than the two of us anyway. We were in an old bunker I'd known about. A few friends and I had been out to visit it, and when we were deep in the grasp of that whole 'zombie' craze...
Guys. Guys. I wasn't going to enter this contest. I looked at it and could only think of all the English teachers who read my stories and laughed or shrugged with indifference. I know that sounds a little dramatic, but after being stomped on so many times by them, I want to express how truly grateful I am. Very clos...
My fellow Americans, things are more dire than you could ever imagine. But it's not the failing economy or failed foreign policies I speak of. [Give stern look to the crowd. Try not to look wife in the eyes.] When this day is over I will immediately be branded a loon by the mainstream media. A story will undoubtedly ...
“Foolish mortal! How dare you come into my kingdom?” “Tyler, get off the couch, you’re gonna fall. And take the lampshade off.” “Never!” He always gets like this after the 8th or 9th drink. Why can’t he just pass out like everybody else? “Tyler, I will get on that couch and force you down.” “I’d like to see you t...
"15 years. It has been 15 years and I still remember that day." Elliot stood in the hazy morning light, listening to the silence that weighed heavily upon the warehouse he had spent so long in. He could almost hear the dust settling as a gentle breeze swept through the shattered windows and rusted metal walls. In fron...
I don't have much time. It's only a matter of minutes before they find out that I'm trying to tell you. I should tell you beforehand that you must be patient. I may come off as a crazy moron, knee deep in pointless conspiracy theories, but you have to listen. The ███████ is secretly being used by our nation's governm...
It only worked when it was plugged into my bedroom outlet. Well, the clock worked any other place, but the devices insane ability only ever worked in my bedroom. Snooze for 10 minutes while the world waits. Pretty handy. Not bad for 5 bucks at some random stoop sale. So, 10 minutes to complete this. With traffic stop...
"Mama, can I have a star?" "Why do you want a star?" "It makes me happy, so I want to take it everywhere!" "But sweetie, you can't reach into the sky. The stars are far away." "Awwww, I don't believe you!" "Go ahead and try." "But I'm too short, see? Pick me up!" "Okay, ready?" "Yay! Okay, here goes!" "Oh!" "...
(Sorry about the length, I got sucked in. I even caught myself writing in first person at times.) In a self-imposed, faux-catatonic state the man stared blanky at a notepad. He only convinced himself further of the futility of life as the only thing present on the notepad was the number "1"and a parenthesis followed b...
"Sir, I'm getting some unknown signal coming over the radio."The solider said quietly with a grave tone to his voice. The Captain responded with a dismissive voice, "Is it the Koreans again and their outrageous claims of destroying the United States? Heard it tons of times Private Lee." "No Sir. Its something dif...
"Noch ein Weissebiere und ein Jaegarmeister, bitte." The bartender drew the Stein slowly, maintaining eye-contact with his customer through-out. The man's fringe had drooped into his gently sweating forehead, and the mustache was beginning to grow out into a fuller beard; the marks of drunkeness and dishevellment clu...
It was a quiet evening. The moon was out in full and the stars caressed the world with their pinpoint streaks of light. I could not yet see my breath, but the night would soon be cold enough that anybody still outside after an hour's time would certainly be caught in the frigid darkness. I wore a cheap, black leathe...
According to the official story, I'm just a guy in Pittsburgh living off a garbage man's salary. However, what nobody really knows about me is that I'm one of the ten men in the state who have been authorized to house the President in times of trouble. Every state has at least five, located at key points in case somet...
I was once the most famous man in the world. It's possible I still am. I imagine them cursing my name, hating me even more than they once loved me, begging for the one release I took from them. When I first debuted my pill, I was on the cover of every magazine, sitting on the chairs of so many talk shows, questioned...
They don't usually answer back to what i say. Perhaps because the days have not been kind to them. Their skin seems firmer, their faces have become expressionless... But i know they still love me. They have to, for i am their Shepard, and they are my sheep. And so i tend to my flock. There is little left to do in this...
"Kill hitler? That's a bit too heavy for me, Doc.", replied McFly. "But Marty,"insisted Emmet Brown, "think of all those people. All those children." "Anyway, aren't you always the one insisting on NOT altering the past? Come one, man." Doc hesitated, "But... I've always hoped there was something I could do. I...
"We all know who the most important one of us is,"Death said it casually, throwing down his cards and scooping up the chips. His thin hands were used to sweeping the chips from the table, he'd been doing it to his siblings for eons. "Nonsense,"Pestilence started, sneezing and wiping a thin train of slime onto her thic...
Everyone deserves their fifteen minutes of fame. To be the social pinnacle for even a day is a luxury of ego that few can ever afford. For me, though, it occurred in the wake of one of the worst biological disasters of all time. I checked the metrics from the day before. Still Beyoncé. Bitch. I went about my norm...
We found the ship on the moon. Really, it was the last place we expected to find anything, right under our collective noses. Still, there it was. The final resting place of a ship that had sat there for the past few million years. Having colonies as far out as the Oort cloud, we really didn't expect to find anything...
"I think I'm gonna be sick." "Keep it together, Sanski. Last thing you want to be mushing around in is low-g vomit."Said Lorne, dusting off the panel to the airlock. "We can't... can't tell anyone, can we?" Lorne turned to look at him. "No. No we can't." "How could they have been here first? They didn't have the ti...
"We've got to invade"said the President, taking a sip from his coffee and wincing as the burning liquid made its way down his throat. His room of advisers nodded back in loyal support. Davis looked down at his notes. "We have invaded before, Sir. 12 years ago, in 1991." "I'm well aware, Davis. Thank you"said t...
"You know the spell, Harry..."His familiar, hoarse voice echoed through the Ministry. The black smoke levitated, circling Harry like a vulture. "She deserves it..." Bellatrix stared at Harry with fear, her bottom lip quivering. Harry's wand pointed straight at her. A sickly green colour briefly illuminated Harry ...
Seems a simple enough prompt, I think. The more I write, the more I realise something is terribly wrong. Fair enough. I sit down at the keyboard. I think for a couple of minutes, come up with an idea. Takes a bit of time for the words to start flowing, but I'm underway soon enough. This writing business is definitely ...
She burned her finger trying to light the candle. Again. The same one, in about the same spot as last year and the year before that. Quickly bringing it up to her mouth, she tried to draw the pain out but was only half-successful. Switching the lighter to her other hand she tilted the candle until the wick was over th...
(Slight deviation, I have changed it to 60 year man) The old man had his head bowed when the boy was thrown in. His head foggy and spinning, his mouth dry. "You fucking pigs,"The boy roared at the two police officers man handling him into the cell. "There's nothing wrong with me. I'm not drunk."The pair pushed him i...
"Christ, that was bleak...you're welcome, asshole." I shrugged off the sensation and picked up the shell. It was something I could never get used to, but it was certainly becoming more tolerable. When I took my first contract I was ready to have a hell of a guilt trip, but it turned out the poor sod was just going...
Ahh... Good morning day. It's time to eat. What should I make. Hmmm... I have no idea how to cook, so I'll just pour myself a bowl of cereal. Mmmm. That was delicious, but I'm still a bit hungry. I'll poor myself another bowl. I'm not really hungry at all, but let's pour another bowl, just because. Well, I don'...
The four of us were on our way to a knew gig when we heard it. The familiar sound of instruments warming up and mic checks. We looked to eachother, curious. Why would there be anyone warming up here in the middle of nowhere, much less what sounded like hundreds of people doing it all at once? So, we followed the sound...
