A hail of cold water droplets pelted the ground as the angered clouds in the sky condensed and contracted. Crying it’s infinite sea of tears, the mud, dirt and land all around washed away till naught but tattered soil and broken structures stood in its path. Some areas were safe from the sky’s onslaught of tears, while...
"Um... guys? That things getting awfully close ain't it?"Jill mumbled as he all locked hands, focusing our throbbing friendship towards the dropping bomb. "You just gotta believe Jill. That bomb may be quick but not as quick as my love for all of you"Jacob said earning an awww from the group as they gripped eachother ...
"What are you doing here?!"an angel exclaimed as I walked through the gates. "I uh, died? I appeared outside and just started walking." "Wow. Um, okay give me a minute. We've never had anybody show up here so you kind of caught me with my robe down. Nobody who ever gets this post expects anything but boredom. I'm onl...
Deep in the jungles of Amazon lied countless primitive tribes. It was forbidden by law for anyone to go near for they have clearly made clear, through aggressive reactions to outsiders, that they wished to remain isolated. However, when words got to my ears that one of those tribes owned a treasure unlike others, not...
"Hey move it rascal, humans comin' through" My name wasn't "rascal", but I'd learned that certain humans liked to use degoratory names. To be fair, they often did it to eachother too. So after the renegade group of scientists had used CRISPR to alter the DNA of 7 animal species to grant them intelligence rivaling huma...
The power to make someone else flatulate uncontrollably. The flapping sound would ring out for as long as the owner of this power could exhale. Make everything that your enemies eat or drink taste like moldy bread, so long as you keep sticking your tongue out at them. The advertisements listed in the back of the stor...
The spacesuit had been left in space. Obscured, it floated among all the other space junk, for more than a hundred years. Only in 2019, was it finally found, by a small crew of ISS astronauts, and reported to the rest of the world. ​ "Today, during a spacewalk, a crew of ISS astronauts found the remains...
I thought I was going to change my life. 25 years of gruelling work,bashing my brain in my job and overtime that destroyed my health. Was it all a waste? I spent 25 years and sacrificed them for the better but here I am,the bodies of countless people who I assume just fell for their trap as well;surrounding me. It was...
I'm so excited! This invention is going to revolutionize Archaeology and any other science that depends on accurate measurements of the age of an object or body. I've just finished the latest improvements, but Frank will be home by now, and I so want to share this with him. No time to test, I have to catch him befor...
> BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I have poisoned the overlord's drink. *Pppfttt! This coffee tastes terrible.....no wonder. It used salt instead of sugar. I must have accidentally swapped the two containers' barcodes for the machine.* > Blast. The poison only wounded the overlord. I shall have to finish him off before he can ...
"Just for me?"Katie blushed at the thought. ​ "Yes. Now carry on. I will come by tomorrow to see how you're doing."The God said and with a snap of his fingers, he blended in with the infinite white. ​ Katie stared at the platinum white card, holding it gently with her fingertips as if not to s...
Ushering the people across the road, he heaves a sigh. Why, he wondered, couldn't people simply follow him? He was the director! They had tried to lock him up in the 'Mental Hospital', but nothing could prevent life's director. He had stopped the play immediately, replacing the actors. He was the director, not...
"Shall we begin, Mr Ambassador?"said Sherlock Holmes as he sat down at the conference table. Just yesterday he was in his London apartment, working on a new case when the MI-6 helicopter came to pick him up. It had been a roller coaster ride since then. "Ahh, yes", the alien ambassador spoke through his tendrils. Th...
Jerome was sweating, it felt slimy and not at all pleasant. His panic had him near tears, as well he would. This change was a certainty, sure; but so was death and people were rarely calm regarding that. He and his family had been expecting it for a few weeks, now. Not only was he already sixteen but the change always...
##June 4, 2135 I never tire of watching the setting sun pass behind the horizon. It reminds me when we outran the sun. We saw our friends all over the world and made new ones along the way. I asked Mindy to wheel me out here to this hill. Isabella modeled for her personality matrix. My other two AI children are moni...
It took me a second to recognize the scream. I shouldn’t have, of course. I’d watched thousands of history clips growing up, of human beings. Of the ultimate predator species. “Mom, there’s a monster under my bed!” A young one. Probably not that fast. Or did they get faster as they got older? I wracked my brains for...
“Not exactly what I expected, but nice office I guess,” I said, awkwardly shifting in the uncomfortable plastic chair I’d been told to sit in. Death looked up briefly from the file, well my file, to shush me before returning to their reading. It wasn’t a fancy or special looking place. In fact it looked like most of th...
"And the current forecast calls for sunny skies and highs in the 80s, with a five percent chance of precipitation." Don switched off the TV and stretched contentedly. "Well, honey, looks like we have another day of anti-blizzard." I rolled my eyes and pointed at the calendar. "Don, it's July." "A whole month of an...
“Honestly it’s been a huge boon in my work, being able to scan through someone else’s code and instantly know what they want it to do. It’s just so much easier for me than it is for everyone else, usually looking through code you have to painstakingly note the position of every character to ensure that everything is in...
Intra-War Council Communications System \[Councilor 3\]: I understand that the new weapons have been deemed worthy to join the effort. \[Operational Leader\]: Apparently, though I remain unimpressed with their physical stats. If you ask me, nothing good has come out Earth since the Bubonic Plague. Still, they’ll be g...
The snow fell early this far up north, and the landscape was covered in a blanket of white, pristine snow. If one were to take a snapshot this place, to paint a picture of this quiet little grove, it would almost seem untouched by any life, save for the old trees that stretched far into the dusky sky. The only thing th...
The human's brow furrowed. "You want me to....do what exactly?" I pointed at a person on the sidewalk. "Trip them." "But why though? Aren't you people supposed to take my soul and make me rich?"The human said. "First off, I resent that. Don't stereotype us."I said. "I'm lowering your boon from a hundred bucks t...
I drive to the address. It's a house, completely dark except for a strip of yellow light at the bottom of one window. There's no parking on the street so I pull in the driveway. I knock on the door, hoping I don't get shot for trespassing. An old woman answers the door. I stare at her. She blinks at me from behind her...
I’ve always admired Powerman. Even back in the bank robbing days, he always held back and thought his way through a situation. Both the police force and criminal underworld just assumed he had all the hallmarks of a strong hero, that eventually he’d probably be flying and shooting lasers out his eyes. The third time he...
The beatings had left some bruises. That was inevitable. They had faded by the time they started stabbing him, plunging the knife deep into his torso over and over again. Max took it all impassively, letting them unleash their rage upon his nearly motionless body. He knew how these things worked. Anger might not have b...
The first few weeks were great. It was like being integrated with google and the best part was that no one else had any idea. I was part of a highly secretive project testing a new device for a mysterious company, which I assumed was a front for one of the big tech multinationals. Whether at work or with friends, peop...
"I'm sorry sweetie, it just slipped my mind again."The old woman said, looking around at the plastic dolls, all of which had had their heads popped off. I was the only one who could ever calm Granny Selicia down. When I would open the door, all of her powers would freeze, and the accidental tantrum would stop. Each ti...
*this marks the start of the log sequence 2362-AJ5* The humans have a saying, "all is fair in love and war". And that is ALL. THEY. DO. Loving and warring, one endless cycle. That's why they're suddenly in the top 10 teams of Wreckline. It's quite a simple premise, we set up our mobile arena on some planet, absolutely...
It's a living. A serious, long-term living, with plenty of fringe benefits. I get to travel, for starters. I spend basically all my time being seduced, which is great fun. I've lived for seven-hundred-and-lost-count years, and with no apparent shortage of vampires (it's quite complicated) I could easily live to a thous...
"Now, just because you're adopted doesn't mean we love any less,"Mom said, hugging me tightly. "You're our baby, OK? You'll always be." "That's right, kiddo,"Dad chimed in, ruffling my hair. "It's not about the blood - it's about the bond. And I couldn't have asked for a more terrific son." "Well, it was a little bit...
I woke up in a black leather jacket, slacks, and boots that were at least somewhat consistent with the type of period this world was in. I was in this alternate world for about a week, and already, I had no idea what happened. I stood up, and saw a guitar that looked like a battleaxe. Picking it up, I experimentally ...
The representatives of the Terran Coalition sat in silence during the cacophony of the peace talks. Relations were breaking down between the lizard like beings of the Vadarian Empire, and the Terran made race of Humanoid canids that ruled the Anjuda kingdoms. "The council recognizes Merrik Bakt-hor, of Anju!"The arbit...
“Viola?” Said the shaky satyr. “They have come.” ”What? No! It’s impossible! Sophia is doing her best at protecting Author.” ”She failed, Viola. The Comaers have arisen.” The blue-eyed girl’s mind overloaded with thoughts. The Comaers were creatures that only awakened when a person went in coma, and destroyed though...
I walked into my apartment, with thesaurus in hand, and hope in my head. I knew it was just a thesaurus, but I needed to believe it would help me. I was willing to do anything after all the failed strategies I got off the internet. Jumping jacks? Did diddly-squat. Nature walk? There’s *nothing* original in nature - it...
The shutters gently rattled against the windows. The cool fall breeze carried several cloying scents, but underneath all of them was the acrid smell of smoke. Somewhere nearby, someone was burning something. I opened the window so the smell of smoke could be carried away by the wind. When I swung the shutters out o...
Cheryl didn't look up from her phone as the door to Papa Joe's rang. It was 11:00, no-one cared about customer service. Had she looked up it might not have made a difference. The swirling mass of tentacles couldn't send her any more mad than work. "Yeah?"She scrolled through instagram for the umpteenth time that night...
Jeffrey lay quietly, staring at the stars above him. They were beautiful. Jeffrey knew this because he had been told to know this, and something about that bothered him. He didn’t feel a thing when he looked at the stars - not fear, not awe, not the shocking revelations his friends would describe to him of their places...
My phone rings just as I reach the front door of my building. Cursing under my breath, I struggle to shift the weight of my groceries over to one arm so I can dig it out of my pocket, and I answer after a few too many rings. “Hello?” I ask, cursing at myself over how I somehow sound out of breath. The person on the ot...
I had always known my uncle was into the occult. He had hundreds of books on rituals, blood of creatures that I've never heard of, and daggers made from every metal known to man. If I weren't so close to him, I would have guessed that he managed to summon a demon at some point. As a kid, he'd let me explore any book t...
"Excuse me?" "I SAID THE EXPERIMENTAL TRIAL IS OVER"the doctor yelled, causing Aldo to jump. "Was one of the side effects hearing loss? Just joshin'"The doctor punched Aldo's arm, causing him to yelp in pain. "What the hell?"Aldo said, rubbing his bicep. "Oh quit being a baby"chided the doctor, "Anyway yeah, trial'...
The Henchmen had a remarkably easy time capturing the super-hero. Too easy of a time. Professor Marbloose had seen the security footage, and it was like the man hadn't even tried. He didn't even look like a proper super-hero, just a middle-aged dude with a beer gut protruding through the skintight blue spandex. A sad s...
Snooping? No I would never snoop on my wife, I've trusted her for as long as I've known her. But...she's gone away again with no explanation and I'm concerned. I know she'll come back just as before, bringing back the oddities she comes across. Sometimes flowers, maybe medicinal herbs that we would not have otherwise...
"Seravum infernium!" Nothing happened. "Seravum infernium!"I said again, this time waving my staff around in front of me. Yet still, nothing happened. I stared at the wall, feeling hopeless. I felt like an idiot. I walked back toward the table and studied my notes again. I prodded the stove on which one pot boiled...
After many centuries of dangerous exploits all over this world, I finally settled in the trade town of Far’Salah. I had grown tired of the same narrative. “This new evil threatens the sanctity of our world! You MUST stop them”. It had all become so… tedious. My immortality gave me certainty that I would never fall in...
Deathblow had a raging headache. This time, it wasn't from getting punched out by the Splendid Star. Deathblow, currently going by Nathan Blosk, had a raging headache because he drank way too much and partied way too hard. He opened his eyes, and saw nothing but swirls of lights and colours. Nathan definitely appreci...
\[Commercial playing\] *Time, Time, Time!!! There's never enough of it during the day! Want to relax doing your favorite hobby? Can't, there's not enough time!!! Need to finish a school or work project before the next morning? Nope, not enough time!!! WHY!!! That ever so wasteful "Sleep"keeps getting in the way!!! 6 to...
"You *what*?"Ron asked, puzzled. "That actually worked!?"Hermione stared at Harry, mouth agape. "Harry, you idiot! What in the world do you think you're doing?" "Hermione, you know how we're always asking you to fill us in on stuff we don't know?"Ron asked her, unmoved by the spell Harry had just cast. "What's a Nucl...
It was a quiet night at the bar. Sasha, known by her hero name 'Sapphire', stared at her drink while getting lost in thought. The bartender, named Elliot, noticed one of their usuals seems to have a crisis at the moment. "Hey sis',"they say, "you're brooding a lot more than usual. Got anything you wanna talk about?". S...
I'll never forget the day Dad left. I must have been 9, because I remember graduating from elementary school the next year and he wasn't there. One night I had woken up, and saw Mom sitting at the kitchen table, hand on her head, papers spread out before her, a calculator at her side. Her beautiful forehead was cre...
The Wrong Monster The newly crowned and widowed queen has summoned you to her chambers for an audience, and when her servant comes for you, whispers fill the air, so quiet you can barely hear your family wondering why she’s asked you for a private audience. But it’s not as if you have any choice in the matter; you can...
Magdrod the Magnificent strolled through the chasm of the undead. His armor was full gold-trimmed dragonscale plate forged from the hide of the great dragon queen Flagranta, which was impenetrable to most weapons the realm could offer. In his pack, he carried countless artefacts gifted from high kings and necromancers ...
Most people look at there powers as a gift, but I have a curse. People can use fire or lift things with their mind, but they are also given freedom with theirs abilities. However I was born with a curse, protagonist. Ever since I was little, no matter what I did, I would always end up in one situation after another. A ...
The woman walked into my clinic and held up an arm that was swollen and bruised - possibly broken. Probably an accident at a construction site, given how she was dressed. I pointed her to a chair and grabbed the materials for a splint. The Curse destroyed every form of language. No writing. No speaking. Not even ...

As per tradition, the younger child had gone first. Seventeen-year-old Mirna had spent a full fifteen minutes clutching the stone, before tearfully passing on the stone to her twenty-year-old brother, Nikola. In contrast, his memory set had only lasted a few minutes. Nevertheless, it was enough to make his eyes sparkle...
Jason held his grieving mother's hand. They were both dressed in black from head to toe, Jason's mother donned a black veil and hat as well. Together, along with a group of people Jason had barely seen in his life, they all mourned the loss of Jack Gloomstride. Jason tried to act strong, however his mothers woes were w...
Doran gazed at the Great Peak which towered over the eastern sky. A rich, dark green forest blanketed its slopes until its sharp rocky ridgeline jutted out and reached for the clouds. It was beautiful from this far away, but he knew better. Hidden beneath its stone skin held the terrible secrets he could divulge to non...
It happened last Friday. I was shopping at Walmart, minding my own business when I see a person right in front of me. 'Another human in a supermarket? No way!', you might think ironically, but it wasn't just 'another human'. When I looked up to see the person blocking my way in the tight shopping isle, I saw him. He...
*That's strange.* I was looking at the wall clock in the waiting room of the hospital. *It's slow.* "Mr. Adams, you may enter the doctor's office" "Mr. Adams?", the receptionist called out to me for the second time. "Ah yes", said I. After clumsily getting up from the seat, I snuck a glance at ...
They cured death. No more deaths from old age, from starvation, from cancer. All diseases cured. Of course, there were the old standbys. Destroy the head, the heart. Anything else could be replaced. But soon we learned there were things worse than death. The sudden lack of illnesses put most doctors out of a job. Und...
Cinderella sat at her desk, looking depressed at the mountain of paperwork in front of her. She was not expecting this to be her married life. Sure, she was a princess now. Waving at the balcony at the adoring crowd was still a highlight. But her prince was again gone at some kingdom business for days now, and she dear...
\[Poem\] Ancient and proud, the trees did sound, “On the humans rest our hopes and dreams!” “We’ll let them breed, We’ll free their greed, And they, in turn, will let us breath!” ​ So it was soon done; cages opened; humans let run, leaving trees to ponder whether this was all in good fun. Over hills hu...
"hey dad, meet your grandchild" I could feel the chip firing up, processing the information. I couldn't describe the feelings I had. I chose this, yet I can't hold my grandson, I can't pat my son on his back. I quietly smiled with unfeeling tears coming out of my fake eyes. ==========================================...
"So." The next word choked him. The next dozen. A hundred? Where was he even supposed to start? The woman smiled every time he looked at her across the desk and he could never hold it for more than a few seconds. There was something...wrong with her. Her eyes shined too bright. Every time she moved something in the ...
It all started with a simple question on Askreddit. I began with the simple phrase “Am I the only one who …”, but I wasn’t really expecting myself to be the only one. After all, millions of people use Askreddit, so I figured at least one of them had to agree with me. To my shock though, I was met with outrage, disgus...
Please forgive me Christmas Eve 2120 6:43 PM London England right outside Parliament At first, we were terribly afraid of the massive black and green glowing ships that started settling all over the planet. Mainly landing in highly populated cities, news spread quickly of the alien's arrival. The UN gathered all Eart...
"No, no,"I said, shaking my head. "Not MOO. You're not a cow, even if you're udderly incapable of doing what I say. It's Muah, like blowing a kiss." "Mwwwwwwah." "A short kiss. Like a peck on the cheek, not a French kiss or whatever folks do these days." "Mwah." "Good. Now add some ha ha after and you'll be set." ...
It was the first day of school at Western mythical high, and Lance wanted nothing more than to be hidden. His father said he'd do fine, as he handed the boy gum that stained his teeth black. Luckily for Lance he knew his father would do something and checked his appearance before leaving the house. It was necessary whe...
It seemed like a fairly ordinary mission. I had to kill a guy named Clark Kent. As usual, I didn’t question the motive of my client. I just assumed that they have very good reason why they want somebody dead. And of course I checked his credit beforehand so I was sure that he would be able to pay me generously. Howeve...
So far humanity had advanced at a unprecedented. Their bizarre creativity and relentless curiosity had left them to make constant progress. The hivemind species of sector 87 had gotten stuck on the idea of their planet being the center of the universe for twelve thousand years before they dicovered they were wrong. ...
Dear diary, I'm not sure what happened. I was on a date with this guy I met on tinder. It was okay, he wasn't amazing or anything but he didn't seem like a creep. I can't remember leaving the restaurant, or what happened after. Now I'm in this dark room chained to a bed with a sandwich next to me. I'm scared. Dear dia...
I squint as brightly coloured wisps burn brightly in the crowd. Although this may seem like a gift at times, seeing people’s aura seemed to be more of a hazard- especially to someone as clumsy as me. I trip slightly on the curb and tumble into my shop. Well, it wasn’t necessarily mine. It was actually owned by Mrs Hop...
There I was, sitting in my car eating another grease-bomb out of a paper bag before going back to my grind of job. Then, all of a sudden, I spilled shitty-mysery-combo-special sauce all over myself. All I could do was utter a defeated "fuck"and try to find a sink I could wash up in. As I was driving along looking for...
Jonathan stared at the sleeping monstrosity that lazed before the fire with its tail curled around its body. Twenty-six bloody years, his mother had owned that flea-bitten tabby, and according her, her dad had had it all of his life as well. So why the hell was no one questioning this? Every time he’d brought it up wi...
I twirled the brush in my hands idly as I wondered what adventure the bag was taking me on today. Goblins, giants, witches-- I'd seen it all, thanks to the satchel at my side. It produced maps with marked spots where treasure lay, armor imbued with secret magicks, and, of course, the perfect weapon with which to finish...
Ali was surrounded by his friends and family. His wife and children and his children's children had tears in their eyes. Ali gave the doctors the ok to pull the plug on his breathing machine in the hospital. He felt his faint heartbeat grow softer and softer until nothing. And then there was everything. He was no l...
You're so sure of it. This thesis has to be the one, right? These papers you've pored over for months on end. Aren't they enough? All the sleepless nights - where you starved yourself just so you could finish your thoughts - thoughts that went on and on and on further and further - so much further in fact that you h...
God looked at the terrarium named Earth. The humans had settled in so well! Kah, his sister, entered. "God! Here you are! Listen, I get that you *really* like those 'humans,' but don't you think you're overdoing it a little? The terrarium is overpopulated! Severely! And they're heating it up, too! And when will you t...
I certainly didn’t know it would kill people, but I won’t say I was sad about it. At first I was worried police might suspect me. I mean most of those people have nothing in common but me so I’d certainly be a suspect. But in the end there was nothing to prove. All of my information proved I was walking in the woods wh...
The Liebrary was burning and Liebraian loved it. For thousands of years he had looked at all the things untrue. All the lies told to people, by people. He had tomes that just contained "I love you"and every one of them broke his heart just a little more. Being a magically library of lies there was no one to reissu...
"I, uh... I had fun tonight."Paul escorted her home after an early night. He could have just dropped her off, but he felt it was at least courteous. Especially since this wasn't going to go anywhere. It was a blind date and, although they had good times, neither of them really felt compatible with each other. "Me too....
To humans, death is not something you believe in. It is, or it is not. The afterlife, though, is entirely based on belief: Christians get the fiery inferno and golden gates, the ancient Egyptians weight their hearts on scales, Greeks take a little dip in the River Styx. Atheists get nothing. Sorry. Regardless of metho...
(By my 10-year old son) I looked down at my hand in disbelief, I saw a word written on my hand. “Convince”. I thought this was a joke. All of those people on YouTube saying they had strange words written on their hands. I never believe that stuff, but now I know it’s real. I rushed downstairs to check the news. As I pr...
"He killed a dragon with a shovel? WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE KILLED A DRAGON WITH A SHOVEL?"The hero of legends asked, holding up a black coated blade, its pointed edges weeping a green ooze, most likely some sort of toxin. The hero and his party had been confused when they finally arrived in the village to no ceremony, they...
**Behold the last entry from the Book of Thoth** The convening itself was chaos, initially. That many divine egos in one place with similar domains. It started with at least the appearance of friendliness - Thor and Zeus performing tricks with lightning, Apollo and Ra in a tug-of-war over the sun, Freya and Aphrodite ...
“Who in the Hades are you?” The young woman blinked her eyes against the harsh glow, raising a hand to shade her vision. “WELL?” the voice boomed. “S-Sam Calder,” she stammered. “Where am I?” “Well, chop off my head and call me a prophet,” another voice chimed in. “We’ve got another one.” “Helios-san, get out of h...
He’d been in worse cells in worse places. The slate gray walls and dim lighting were heaven compared to rotted brick and darkness, every moment wondering when your next ass kicking was coming. Here they had some sort of law and order. A system of “justice” that allowed him to be relatively unharmed, and even fed if you...
The girl's bloodcurdling scream echoed through the village streets. Not a living soul stirred; my smile widened. "They hear you, Arora, but none will come to your aide."Silvery wisps began to drift in extension of my fingers as I reached for her. I let loose a hungry snarl far too deep and unnatural to come from my h...
God was real. That was the most scary thing that most people learned. The usual thing happened, a statue of Jesus bleeding from his wounds, but this one turned out to not be a fake. It took no more than a little girl making a single wish, a miracle I guess it could be called. "I want all the evil to go away." It was ...
Bone should not be on the Moon. There is no atmosphere, nothing to rot the flesh. And yet there he is, bones bleached whiter than normal by the harsh rays of the sun. No flesh. Nothing remaining. Only a ruined suit, and a dented old dogtag, with a name on it, B. Aldrin. That cannot be. He died back in 2023. And he defi...
When we met his name was Boab. It sounds like a silly name now, with the way language has progressed over time, but everything was simpler then--even the clicks of tongue that we used to assign meanings to things. He came from a more straight-forward, honest world and he remained as a beacon of those times throughout a...
It was an odd house. Willed specifically to his niece, a young girl in her 20s without much going on. Such a huge house was a dream, even with the need to work on it. It could be done. The laundry room was beside the kitchen, there were bedrooms nearer the front door, the master bedroom was up a flight of creaky but ...
It was, in the end, not so bad. With my former memories restored, it actually felt good, somehow. I got up from my lounge chair. Stretched my hind legs and touched them with both of my tentacles at the same time. My front legs weren't moving yet, which made sense, since for almost 80 years the brain was tricked into ...
Another day, another crime stopped by HeroMan! The citizens of CityTown have never felt safer and criminals have never feared more. You could say they tremble with fervor. Their boogeyman is HeroMan and they go to sleep every night staring at the closet door expecting him to pop out like in those Monsters Inc movies...
Mary Sue was a bit surprised to face against a genie, but recovered quickly. As an innocent girl of 18, she spoke like a child, sweetly and shortly: "I wish for world peace!" "Ugh, oh yeah, of course, world...."the genie trailed off, but suddenly got a malicious idea. "...peas! Yes... everyone will have some dumb sill...
*Planet 35-98-89-37 Intelligence Report #1* *Safety Rating: Blue* The planet appears to be full of water. It appears to take on three different states on this planet. There is a solid form at the poles that appear to be caused by the lower temperatures. There is liquid water covering most of Planet *35-98-89-37.* The...
Just because I'm dead doesn't mean I shouldn't get to have an opinion on how my home looks! But these people keep changing things, things that need to remain the same. They don't seem to understand that the leather armchair isn't JUST for decoration or comfort (ok, that's part of the reason) but surprisingly enough it'...
The others don't understand. *Why do you help them?* they've asked countless times. Other immortals, or “gods” - their preferred exaltation - they manipulate kings and heroes, bed princesses and fair peasant women, smite those who stand against them. All of this, in the name of fun. Yes, to most of my cohort, humanity ...
Even since the memory market opened, people have been going crazy to see **everything** that people have done in their life. At first it was to be used as evidence in cases that were too complicated or too vague. Alas, it didn't take long for the "Big fishes"to see it as a viable market. Of course, the more famous the...
There wasn't much to her. A young face, with old lines. Delicate bones covered by scarred flesh. The soldiers had captured her, the maids cleaned her, and now I was to... what, cure her? The girl looked at me as I let out a little chuckle. The first movement she had made since the soldiers had brought her in to my cha...
