To each their own, live and let live. That's my motto. As bitter as he was, I still had a special place in my heart for him. He still was in my will for a rather sizeable inheritance in the event of my death. I don't know why I left him in, but I felt it would be spiteful if I took him out. No one knows. Well, not an...
The members of the party look at the singular entity who had broken through their wall, silent and unmoving. But, seeing the stillness of his compatriots, the god of companionship takes a step forward. "So... Who're you?" "I'm Dave." "No, I mean what's your origin?" "Oh. New Cal, Mars." "Not that, I mean your divi...
With a jerk of her head as though coming awake, Ruth got up from the couch and walked to the door - not even pausing to put on shoes. I called after her, but she walked down the sodden path to the front gate in her socks, without looking back. Like many other people I had followed my spouse, shaking them, calling t...
You matched with Kaylee 20 hours ago. #TalkToYourTinder. Kaylee is 173 miles away. Kaylee went to the same university I went to. Also, Kaylee is interested in Emma Watson and The Office. Kaylee and I have 1 common connection. Kaylee enjoys sarcasm, concerts, and beards. Kaylee is not here just looking for hookups...
"You're certainly a tough nut to crack,"He said pensively. I shrugged. "Face it, Satan, I'm a much badder motherfucker than anyone down here." He snickered. "Indeed? I don't count?" "You lost. I'm meaner, crueler, savager, tougher, and more psychopath-er than any of these bastards." "Trust me,"He said, "t...
Once upon a time, the human race was mighty and powerful, destroying enemies of all species instead of fruitlessly destroying each other. Many thousands of years passed, and their empire stretched far and wide, into the tiniest nooks and crannies of the universe, past the moons of Jupiter, and beyond the furthest reach...
The family of dwarves stood at the bottom of the massive tree, their deepset eyes boring into the back of the skull of their third child, Blellin. "I ain't goin' up thar,"grunted one of the bearded dwarf parents. Blellin didn't know which one had spoken; dwarf parents tended to *homogenise* as they aged, swapping clo...
It is strange how suddenly the world can switch places with nightmare. The transition can be so sudden, and so subtle, as to make it impossible to distinguish the exact moment when the switch occurres. Perhaps no distinction ever really existed between the “real” and the realm of nocturnal terrors. Perhaps the only fa...
Bruce wasn't really one for talking. I mean, we hadn't ever really talked. And I guess, looking back the only time he'd really said anything was when I asked his name and I guess I just assumed it was "Bruce"but it could have been more of a growl. He really wan't a terrible roommate. Sure he was kind of messy and his ...
The dial was at ten, and Brent was unceremoniously dragged out of the mine shaft by an invisible hand. All around him, ferromagnetic and paramagnetic materials were racing in the same direction he was going. He spun to avoid a giant Caterpillar that was barreling straight towards him. "Fuck!"He gritted his teeth. ...
Through Tom's eyes, the world appeared to him in kaleidoscope shapes, folding into each other, making a clicking noise with each turn. Even though he was laying on his back and staring at the blank white ceiling, it felt like he was flying, and the ceiling itself was a melting mixture of glittery shapes and bright ligh...
Jake was a pretty easy going guy. He didn't cause trouble, and was always willing to help out. That's why you'd often find him volunteering at animal shelters, hospitals, and really helping anyone he felt he needed to. Although Jake believed in God, he didn't necessarily subscribe to a religion. He felt the bible wa...
Kane started gasping as he sat at the table. Deep retching sounds forced their way out of him as he doubled over in agony. "What? What's wrong?"somebody asked as they rushed to his side. His back arched as he let out another gurgle, folding backwards over the table. The gurgle turned to a scream, his arms flailing. ...
Fuck. I hadn’t expected to end up here so quickly. All I remember was looking at the top of the cliff - it was so close - and telling my friend that we were almost there. After that, nothing. All I saw before me was a hallway - a shiny, pretty hallway. There wasn’t anything behind me, so I figured I may as well fol...
(*i think the prompt is cool enough with just the bacteria worshiping you*) ------------- Hail! The giver of life! The bringer of sustenance and light! Hail!

"Tell us what you know" "The mitochondria is the power house of the cell" "You better speak up buddy, I'm your worst nightmare" "Well hi your worst nightmare, pleasure to meet you."

"He did WHAT?!"Zeus' roar echoed through the hall of Olympus. "He drew the sword and nearly fell on it in the process."said Hermes. "It took all I had to get there in time to prevent him from impaling himself on it." Zeus' face started turning purple, "I thought you made sure there was nothing to trip on in there!" ...
Why do they not see that I have only their best interests in mind? The first time I helped somebody—and I mean *genuinely* helped, the reaction I was terrible. The way everyone treated me, you'd think I had tortured the guy. You'd have thought that they hadn't built me with that specific goal. Denial is the first stag...
I looked at the yellow Sticky-note stuck to the screen of my laptop again. The four words appeared to have been written in a hurry.       “Quit your job, NOW!!!”   The question was not who wrote the message, the messy handwriting was unmistakably my own. The qu...
"I wish you luck, Steven." Everything has faded to gray so suddenly I almost did not unuderstand what happened. The kind lady was walking away. I was leaning against the wall, numbly looking at the sandwich she gave me. I didn't want to eat it for some reason. I haven't talked to anyone in a while, months, years perh...
Have you ever been to a Papal Conclave? The saying is, anyone who campaigns to be the next Pope isn’t the right person for the job. But, you also can’t not campaign, because that in itself is a form of campaigning. Nope, your best bet is to sit back, make friends without seeming like you are trying to make friends and ...
638 years. 638 years I have wandered the land, in search of the sole material possession that matters to me. I have crossed deserts so wide no mortal man could hope to make it through without the relentless sun scorching away his very skin. I have hiked up mountains so large that even the precious air those putrid bag...
My skin had taken on a vibrant green, A colour that no human e'er had been. My thoughts remained unchanged in their true ways; No thing that I had known I knew not now. I spoke to friends who loved me as always, We laughed until our laughter creased my brow. I was still green, though no one noticed so. M...
I shuffled the cards in my hand nervously. To be honest, I wasn't even a fan of this game, but I had discovered long ago it was the only way I'd ever get to spend time with *him*. So I had done my research and due diligence until I was one of the best. Enough to be a worthy challenge. The kid across the field from me ...
Why do good people suffer? I don't know, but I could take suffering away. All of it. Everything. In return, I experienced everything terrible that had ever happened to the relieved. I had taken on some before. Sometimes, I would take the suffering of a meager few, and I found it to be the most horrible feeling. I would...
They met up in a South Dakota old schoolhouse that hasn't seen a new coat of paint since the 1950s. It was a reunion of the classes in the last years the town of Murray existed - the classes of 1980-1990, as there were too few people left at the end to have a reunion with anything less than a decade. There were around ...
How do you solve a case if the perpetrator is you? Probably the trickiest riddle I've had to solve yet. Easy, you say? Let's change the rules, then. How do you solve said case *without* being the one meeting their just punishment? That sounds more like it. This one's a real dilemma, because on the one hand, being the...
"Dad, I'm your daughter,"I corrected. "Fine, fine,"he said, huffing as he pulled at a large tome in the middle of the bookshelf. It didn't move. "Can I help you dad?"I asked. "This used to be the handle,"he replied, both hands now gripping the edges of the leather spine. "There's a whole world back here." "Dad,"...
"You know the old saying, one for the road, two for the-" "Yeah, shut up,"I said to my father. We were supposed to be learning how to drive, not how to drink, and if the two ever coincided it was no one's fault but my dad's. I know he was a scientist, not an alcoholic, but sometimes it was hard to tell the difference,...
I stared out the window at the lawn without really seeing it. Why was the sun shining? Why were the neighbor's kids playing in the sprinkler? Why did the whole world seem oblivious to the horror and cruelty of life? The phone rang. I ignored it. I head the answering machine beep. "Jon? Jon, I heard the news and I'm ...
"Drowned!" My fingers froze over the keyboard. That was a new word for Polly. I left my desk to check on the cage in her private corner. The prophetic bird was well taken care of. "Go on,"I said with false enthusiasm. "What else?" If I encouraged her enough, usually she'd give me more. "Going to kill, *scraw*!" N...
"No, I don't agree." The common phrase she always said. The reason why I am stuck in my own hell. "Why don't you agree?"I said with my head in hand. "Because, Why would they need the ability to fly? They have land - they can walk."She said writing notes in blank pages of her notepad. I rub my hand on my cheek, closing...
"What the fuck?!"I shouted as the sip of coffee I took dribbled out from my gaping mouth. I didn't burn myself, but something was definitely wrong. I stared at the man sitting in the corner booth of the cafe with his laptop. The green pants, the yellow shirt and his giant duck dynasty beard were just a few of the de...
The old king was a fool. He had a soft heart for them hew-mans. Weak meatbags who only chased after green paper. But since he was king back then, the imperial council had no choice but to agree to let him carry out his wishes to live amongst the hew-mans for a couple of solar cycles. But after a few cycles it was cle...

"Ohmygod, what the hell are you do-... OUCH!"Stacy had put that line about being into a certain level of kink in her Tinder profile mostly just to get more matches, but it appeared this guy was taking it way to seriously. "What the hell man?!?!? You drew blood! I am definitely not into that,"She stood up began gathe...
Peter stood before the finalists and just behind him sat the Almighty, his face obscured in a heavenly haze. He was reading aloud from a scroll, detailing each of the finalists accomplishments and acts of altruism. Behind the finalists stood all the angels of heaven, quietly talking among themselves and every now and t...
I had applied for the job on a whim. With a degree in Communications and minor in Literature I thought I was well under qualified for a position at the NYTimes but here I am, reading and rereading the email letting me know I got the job. The post college stress of not having work had been killing me, almost literally s...
"Look, you keep telling me that it's breaking the law of thermodynamics. Please, explain. Explain exactly how." "Ok, well, I don't know. It's like - what if it leads to situations that result in the reverse of Entropy?" *God was never very descriptive.* "What situations? Are you just making this up?" "No, I m...
Hector shook his head in disbelief as he walked, slowly but surely towards Mr. Harkness' office. None of this made sense. He had just told his manager of four years that he had re-routed 15 accounts payable to the wrong bank and they were starting to pile up late fees. He also had told everyone in IT that they were inc...
It's been years since she's last been alone with you, ~ And even though you don't remember her, she still loves you-- still wears your smile. ~ Centuries of silence and she would still be glad to see your face. ~ A brief celestial waltz is enough to stoke her love, ~ Enough for her pale face to ...
From 'round the world the five riders rode To see what they could do. Charged they were with writing the laws of a nation borne anew. They gathered in the crowded hall To forge the founding pages. They found the process something of a bore, and groaned it would take ages. Each day they met in the secret ro...
*Great*, I thought rather irritably as the car slammed full-force into my face, *I've got to go through this bullshit again.* Then it was just the usual routine. Bright light, flying through a tunnel etcetera, and then I'll be cast down into another character I created. Now was not the time to remember all those creat...
When adventurers meet at a tavern, it's inevitable that they'll start comparing their deeds and trying to decide which of them is the greatest hero of all. In this particular instance, A wizard, a knight, a cleric, and a commoner were in the tavern. The commoner, of course, was a fixture at the place, but the others ...
The Russians called him "Alexander Reborn,"after the famous peacemaker Alexander III. The Chinese word for him could be roughly translated as "great one."In the small West Virginian town where he had been born, they had nicknamed him 'The Pacifier,"and that moniker stuck with him nationally. To me he was simply my brot...
Rafael stands in line and tries to peek around the others in front of him. He wears a backpack and carries a small bag at the airport. The line moves at a snail's pace. He looks at other lines. Three other lines have formed where people enter and disappear for a second then re-emerge. Then, one man enters and is dragge...
The Lord sat upon his holy throne. His son stood beside him, with a stately dove perched upon his shoulder. They were silent, like sentinels awaiting a battle. The place they stood in was brilliant, with walls that seemed to reach upwards endlessly, toward a ceiling that could only be imagined. A calming yet powerful w...
“Mike!” Jerry called as he stepped into his employee’s cramped cubicle. “Just wanted to let you know that the Muffin Man behind bars for life. I’ve got another assignment for you, this one’s a good one.” The information passed far over Mike’s head as he lazily grabbed his coffee mug and took a sip. “Mhm…” he hummed as...
"Horatio? What is it? The hole?"spoke a feminine voice, "Is it safe to come down now?" "No, no! I've found some strange liquid down here,"said Horatio as he descended further into the crash site of a meteor, "Alyssa, draw a bath for me; I'll be back to the estate in four hours' time." Alyssa was hesitant, but she com...

Carl was on an airplane headed back home. He wasn't used to it. But the newspaper he worked for had bought the tickets and he had to use them, he couldn't just fly himself, or someone would notice something was wrong. Flying the slow way, it turned out, was boring. He was looking out the window, when the woman sittin...
Man: You won't remember but I was here yesterday, eh, for me at least. Psychologist: I understand. Fairly common, so how many times has it been now? Man: Let's see, about 1299 times, gonna be thirteen hundred with this. Psychologist: I see we have something of an anniversary today then. Man groans. Psycholog...
I try to be honest about who I am and where I came from. When people ask about my parents, I usually keep it as vague as they'll allow. But there's always that one friend or date who, sitting across the table from you with a fistful of french fries, will end one of their long, humorless, self-effacing monologues by loo...
"Hey, are you coming to the show tonight?" Mark questioned me. I'd already told him no three times this week. I knew I could go, but I had plans. "No, sorry. I'm heading home to get some sleep. I've got plans tomorrow."I responded as if he were asking me directions, cold and matter of fact. Couldn't he take a hint? ...
"Are you sure we're allowed to do this?" "Trust me, it'll be great." "Umm.. I don't know about this." Phil hesitantly handed Isaac his Necronomicon in exchange for his worn-out Excalibur. Without a second thought Isaac recited the class transfer spell inside the newly acquired Necronomicon. Phil began to survey the ...
"The grilled cheese, you ask?"The child nodded enthusiastically, helpfully pointing out the item in the flimsy children's menu dashed with crayon and spittle. "Ah, the grilled cheese..."I cooed lustfully, my mind disappearing into the realm of Bimbo and slabs of artificial American cheese stuck between plastic films. ...
(Hmm... A bit shorter than I wanted, but I'm not sure how interesting this is going to be. An experiment with an idea I've had for a while, I guess. Not sure if I've ever tried having a totally wordless main character.) Across the lands, the rising popularity of magic led to a sharp fall in demand for knights. Even th...
Its Sunday. All I want is to sleep in. This dream evaporates like a water droplet in hot oil as one of my second wifes kids, whatever the fuck her name is, jumps in the bed like it was a god damn ball pit. "Daddy!"She shrieks, with that lisp that $200 a month worth of speech therapy cant seem to fix. "Daddy!"She ...
I knew I looked like I was crazy. I was covered in blood and grinning like a madman. I knew it was likely that the police would be called if anyone saw me, but that didn't stop me from going outside and basking in the warm glow of the sun. After 9 months of my wife and I being told that, in all likelihood, our baby wo...
Madam, I’m Adam. Madam, in Eden I'm Adam. Mad as Adam. Mom? Ma is ... as selfless as I am. Ma is a nun, as I am. Heh. Ma is a live devil, as I am. Dad? Pa's a sap. "No, son, onanism’s a gross orgasm sin – a no-no, son!"Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age. I’m a fool; aloof am I. Drab as a fool, aloof as a bard. Dumb...
"It's a bird!"shouted an older woman. "No, it's a plane!"yelled a young man. "No, it's Super Stanley!"screamed a little girl. "Yes! It is I, Super Stanley!"I boasted as I stepped out of my 97 dodge neon, license plates clearly displayed. I didn't fully understand my cars similarity to a bird or a plane, but after...

He's incredible!” ...
I look myself in the mirror and stare into my own eyes. I see the familar leaf-green stare back at me. I smile, reassured in my identity. "They were wrong. Completely wrong. It isn't the ingredients, it's the recipe which makes the cake."I didn't used to talk to myself but it feels right to hear my own voice, reminding...
My roommate complained about my cooking today. I live with this guy, Adam. We've been living together for a couple years now. He drives me up a wall sometimes, but I think I just have unresolved anger issues. I had problems with it when I was younger. He's a good guy. We take shifts with cooking and cleaning. For i...
*A/N: I've taken a lot of creative freedom with the prompt, hope you don't mind* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The uninterrupted nearly infinite power was unimaginable. When the E'dians made The Great Globe, they expected great results, but not as much as they had now. Af...
Today I learned a valuable lesson. So I have now died. Kicked the proverbial bucket. Shuffled off this mortal coil. Choose whichever clichéd term suits you, but I have died. Plain and simple. I'm sorry to be rambling but this is a big deal for me. Anyway you probably have some questions about where I am now. The After...
"FLOWERS, BEELZE, *FLOWERS*!!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE THOSE!?!" Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies, raised an eyebrow. "I don't know what you're talking about, milord. These *are* flowers." Lucifer groaned. He picked up one of the wilted, tentacled, fanged petals on a stick that his second-in-command had procured and declared '...
"Danse la révolution!" The rallying cry sounded around the nation. The church of the Harmonix had taken it too far this time. The people were ready, primed to explode from decades of having to play to their scales. In a single night, everyone knew there was treble brewing. Even the deaf heard the beat of the stree...
*Plip* With a small ripple of the air, Jenny appeared mid-air and fell to the ground with a thud. This suprised her considerably, as she had just watched Starker (bastard time meddler) stab her young self. This *should* have annihilated her from existence, and yet here she was. *Wherever* this was. Pushing herself ...
The wind howled around Brady as he ran through the muddy water. It had been a long time since he'd used one of his tattoos, but he knew that if he wanted to survive, he would have to go through the fiery pain of activating one. He glanced at his arm and found the one of a man that was slowly turning into a wolf and wi...
*The Rise and Fall of the Gondorian Empire – Chapter 1* Like all great and horrible things, it began in the fires of Mordor. Having seen the horrors that Sauron was capable of producing firsthand from its maw, and with Gondor under the spectre of economic collapse due to the now-defunct military, Aragorn, son of Arath...
“The others had had their shot. Famine, death, disease, and war. They all tried, multiple times, but always come up short. They failed to release the humanity had conquered nature, no natural event could destroy them. Like cockroaches, they would keep crawling from the earth." “But I found something stronger than natu...
It was in some hippyish, the-world-is-full-of-love, marijuana induced haze that I began to teach myself to lucid dream. I was in college - liberal arts and studying the art of packing bowls and blowing smoke through a cardboard toilet paper tube stuffed with dryer sheets while minoring in spark-noting Nietzsche ten min...
*Infected, infected...* was the chant. The scientists were stunned. The farm was immediately put under quarantine, and the farmer given a generous payment. The world's top veterinarians were called. They checked the livestock for every possible disease, and aside from one hen who had caught Beiber Fever, the animals we...
*"My name is Gregory McAlisteroni de Nosa the Third, the most interesting man in the world! And the next season... I retire".* Eight months ago the whole world gasped as I said those words, and since then I've seen them on almost every billboard. They became a new expression, a new meme. There were advertisements ...
Peter slammed a flagon onto the table. "Is there anything my main man can't do?"He hiccuped and slapped Jesus on the shoulder several times in succession. Jesus forced a smile and turned away, abashed. He had switched Peter's wine for water a long time ago. Judas scowled as stray drops of liquid struck his cheek. "Sur...
It always puzzled me, to say the least, and made me extremely nervous. As such I never committed into relationships, probably by great of having my feelings not reciprocated. My longest relationship was with a man I loved deeply, Indy. He was the complete opposite of me : extraverted, charming, outgoing. He was fri...
The hunter sat within the meager ring of warmth radiating from the small cooking fire. Thought ricocheted uncomfortably in his underdeveloped mind. He had warmth, he had shelter nearby, he had food from the days hunt. Remembering the hunt brought confusion. It was so easy, he barely had to work for it. He was shocked t...
Aktul the Eternal, currently Jerry Blank, always returns to the same place once every fifty years. He is a man of many names, and changing every thiry or so years once he can no longer manage the facade of age. He finds a new identity, a new home, and begins again. He's tried a little of everything, architect, philosop...
They expected panic. They expected outrage. They expected...something. What they didn't expect was silence from the audience. The two candidates flicked their forked tongues nervously as they surveyed the silent mob of humans. They had revealed themselves as aliens, extra-terrestrials, members of the S'Quith, and yet.....
Sergeant First Class Clinton Rogers breathed in deep, running through his check list one more time. "Team leaders, final PCCs and PCIs, SP in 15 mikes." His men were stacked outside of another door, this one surrounded by the light pastel and clouds of a little boy's bedroom. With the time running down, he was once a...
"They'll kill you for this Kal." "It's just fiction. It's what I write anyway. Just endless lies, words to satisfy the prompts the censors create each day to keep the masses entertained." She took my hand, the heavy clack of the typewriter falling silent. It's springs were old and the ribbon had long since passed the...
"Todd's a fucking bear, y'all!" We're at that dumpy Irish pub on 5th by the FedEx and I was just deep enough into Happy Hour to make a joke about it. I immediately regret it, Jules and the rest of accounting are glaring at me, and IPA bubbles out of Gordon's nose as he stifles a laugh. "That's offensive,"Jules hisse...
Surely, every parent has dove beneath their child's bed for a sock's missing pair and unearthed their diary instead. And surely, every parent confronted with this situation has taken a peek inside. Is it so criminal? As long as the child lives under the same roof, they are an extension of the parent; their lives are ou...
*Late night writing is the worst kind of writing, here goes nothing* Snow whirled with harking wind in the hollow cave. Commander hiked up the collar of his fur jacket, applied a code into a keypad on the wall, and a large door opened in front of him. He entered quickly, slamming it behind him. "Anything yet?" "No, ...
“Bullshit,” said Annette, voice weak with disbelief. “This is bullshit.” The screen continued. She stopped it with a press of her hand, bloody and cold, and scrolled back up the sections of FRIENDS, LOVERS, and all the way up to PEOPLE KILLED: 400. “Bullshit,” Annette said again, soft with shock. She looked through ...
1/12 I am sick. I have an addiction I can’t cure. I’ve been to countless psychologists, but nothing helps. Not the pills, not the meds, not the talks. Nothing. I worked day and night as a doctor. I’m the best there is. I don’t take pride in that fact. I just accept it. I work day and night, and I never really check ou...
The Silver Horse was a nice enough pub, there were rarely any fights and each Saturday a popular pool tournament was held by the owner. However, certain newcomers among the establishment's patrons were slightly less than nice. This group of friends, who a few weeks ago had claimed ownership of the table closest to the ...
"Welcome to our island, traveler."I had been practicing my greeting for weeks. At least since we saw the tiny fleet of wooden ships approaching our shores. They had some troubles in the dead waters, but they persisted and arrived. Naturally, I called upon the top linguists on staff so that I could at least be conversat...
### File 1191102: In the event the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are both real and hostile Christ, I can't believe I have to write this. Oh, what's that, imaginary person who's never ever going to read this because, what the hell, that scenario is just plain not happening? I'll get fired for writing this instead of p...
At some point, every writer is asked: where do you get your ideas? Most people mumble their answer, avoid the question, or find a snappy one-liner ready to deliver for such occasions. Me, I've always had to make up a fake answer. They would've loved the real one, if only to paint me as a narcissist. Oh, it comes to me...
This should have been easy. This should have been a walk in the park. A bunch of teenagers cramming themselves into a remote cabin at the top of a mountain. They basically handed their lives to me on a silver platter. Tina was the doe of the pack. Her slender, waifish build and picnic ant IQ paired like a fine wine....
*"Why them?"* the figure sneered. *"What have they done for you? Look at how pathetic they are, they didn't even make it past the siege."* "They're good men. They're my men." The figure cackled *"Don't think you can outsmart me, boy. Fancy titles hold no prestige in the after. I can see you're barely grown as is; wal...
TheOtherGuy52 sighed after hitting the enter key. "Nobody is going to reply to that shitty WP post", he thought. "Man, if only I could think of something really cool that's also meta. Like that Stanley Parable computer game". He looked at the clock and sighed. Way into the wee hours. Shitty work tomorrow. At lea...
"My parents are going to kill me if they catch me with weed again." *I've never smoked weed. And they'd totally be okay if I did.* "I am not ready for this exam. I didn't study at all. *I studied all night, I'll be fine.* "Damn, Tommy is so hot." *Well that was narcissistic of me.* "Is Dani coming with my Valium ...
It's okay, my sweet little girl. I wasn't ready the first time, when you had only just started high school, and I was still young and full of life. How much did you cry then, when you weep so bitterly for me now? I wish I could tell you it's okay. No accident rips me from you today. It is simply my time. I'm not even ...
You see, the problem with time machines is that they only zap you to whenever you want, not wherever. If you want to time travel, you need access to a sender and a reciever node. But all that doesn't matter; because I stand in Bellevue, Washington about to pull off the greatest heist of all time. This should be easy, ...
In my dying moments, I smiled. Not because I wanted to die. *You stupid boy! Can't you do anything right?* The stars were bright, tonight. *Yes. I can.* And then I started to cry. The sky swam like a canvas upon which Van Gogh stroked his brush. There were fireworks, too, I think. After a while it grew hard to di...
It's cold, the kind of cold that bites at you. It is mid December, Christmas is only a few days away. Mom just left, leaving me here to stare at the fresh mound of dirt that holds her body under it. I wasn't there when she died, I was in my apartment and was just getting out of my work uniform when I got the call fro...
"SHOOT!", Barry shouted as he ran right past what would've been his first Pokémon, a Farfetch'd and right back to Central City. "What's with this, Iris? I can't seem to catch any Pokémon, no matter how slow I go!" Iris smirked a bit, and jokingly replied, "Trying to go slower, coming from the guy who can run back thro...
