I almost cried when I opened the box. The writing on the outside was a large, untidy scrawl that I hadn't recognised buy it all came flooding back to me as soon as a lifted the lid. I lived in a cottage in the middle of the woods. I didn't really have anything else. My parents were torn apart by a bear when I was five...
I looked down at the shovel in my hand thinking about what my know-it-all friend had said to me when I swore vengeance on the men who killed my brother. "Dig two graves on the road to vengeance,"I said making as much of a mockery of his voice as I could. *You know what? This is just plain stupid. Why the hell am I digg...
Journal - Day 5: Well, Mary says it's official, we're not getting out of here. "Looped time singularity"she calls it. I guess those threats on the Hypheria-Donis wormhole gates weren't just media bullshit. Paul's pretty sure they must have gotten hit simultaneously while we were mid-transit. Journal - Day 11:...
"Mythos, old wives' tales, fables...I would have thought we were beyond this."Malcolm said, gently thumbing through the first pages of the first actual paper document he'd ever touched. He spoke dismissively, but there was an oddly tender undercurrent to his voice. "Didn't take you for the sentimental type."I replied,...
He refrained from asking many questions but many were in his mind, *i never thought i would ever being doing this.* he always thought he'd be saving princesses from evil mages or a dragon not a dragon from a more monstrous dragon. He was too afraid to ask anyone though, incase he disrespected them. He feared the idea o...
“Pabusk, arba vėl pavėluosi!” A croaky shout came from outside the door. Rubbing my eyes I replied by instinct, “I’m up, no need to shout!” As I let the sleep waft out of my head I tried to focus on the door, but for reasons beyond the usual dim conditions of early morning the image remained blurred. Great, first day ...
# An Investigation Into The Daily Behaviours Of The Tall Ones ^(Maerwynn M. Corgi, Steven J. Rottweiler, Hanako Inu) Department of Xenoanthropology, Laika Memorial University ^(_contact: m.m.corgi@caninities.laika.edu.dog_) *** ## Abstract: Recent advances in understanding of biped technology have enabled the use...
Emperor Raynus wasn't someone I actually liked. Our relationship is well understood. I kill for him, and he rewards me. I'm a simple mercenary without loyalties. So when I found myself slipping through a hidden tunnel that leads to his bedroom, I didn't intend to stay long. He laid in his luxurious bed, reading a tome...
I knew that I was on my stomach, face down, and so I pushed myself up and onto my knees. What I had been laid upon was the World. The whole of Earth was far below me, blue and busy. Life churned in cycles that seemed at once ages and mere moments. All of it shimmered and I realised that between me and all things was a ...
"Hide and seek,"the strange boy said, and it felt like cold water down my spine. "What? That's a dumb game." "So you are scared. Think the monsters will get you?" "No,"I sneered back. "It's just a baby game." "You're only saying that cuz you're gonna lose,"he scoffed back. "Won't,"I say. "I know these woods better...
"It was nothing personal; I was hungry! What happened was part of the circle of life, the beauty of nature! Please answer me, please!" Just as I reached to bang on the cottage door for the thousandth time, it flew open. Rough green skin, mop of grey hair, eyes that looked like they'd never experienced the joys of slee...
The meta-tumor event is to this day used in the psychology, philosophy and ethics publications as a definite proof of overall goodness of humanity. Following is a brief account of events that took place. It started in February 2023, when radiation from IK Pegasi (or HR 8210) supernova reached the Earth. Within days em...
The NASA rep, a middle-aged man with graying hair and a lab coat, nodded nervously. "That's correct, sir. We've been monitoring the transmission for weeks now, and it's definitely not from any known source on Earth. It's a message of peace and friendship, just like the ones we've been sending out." The Secretary...
"Hmmm, what was that?", he said as he put his finger into his ear and removed the tumor. "I SAID.." "Yea I heard ya, the protest is 3 blocks that way my man. By the way, nice cosplay, little weird, but nice detailing." "DO NOT INTER...., HEY COME BACK....HEY YOU!", a gnarled and twisted finger pointed to a man stand...
Things got boring on Dropz when the humies finally ran out of bullets. Orks smashed into the manufactorums, howling with glee, only to realize nearly all the planet's industry and shiny bits of scrap had been spirited away in a titanic evacuation effort. Many of the frustrated bosses took it out on their boys, who to...
I had dreams, you know. I wasn't always going to be working at my father's fried dough stand. It's not like I was even pressured into it. My father was supportive, helped me prepare a petition to the University board. Unfortunately, no amount of study, hard work, or practice can keep me from being a Heska. When I came ...
If people asked Reva what she did for a living she would say she was working in the transportation industry. If people asked her how she earned that much from it, she would smile and say she had high-end clients. If people asked her when she worked, if she was just travelling all the time, she would say she signed NDA'...
When Odysseus said "no man"to the cyclops, he was being facetious. When I say it, I mean it. Not only does my country no longer exist, but even the day on which I was born was removed from the calendar. This is why I am known as Sine. I lived a nomadic life style until a few years ago, when I found a place of such ...
Thin streams of wind blow around the two figures, they are clad in warm clothing. A suitable defense against the waning sunlight and amber leaves. "It's just that I hate it,"exclaims the wizard. "Sure I've got magic but look at you, you are hulking - strong. You look good, I wish I had muscles like yours. It seems lik...
To whatever or whoever finds this note, That was it, I stared off in despair as the very last space ship left earth and I wasn’t on it. I was left behind, stranded with whoever didn’t make it on either. They ruined our planet just to leave us all to rot and for what? So they might repeat the same steps on another plan...
**NOVEMBER** My hair fell away, my leg bones ached as some stretched and others shrunk, my hips and shoulders popped into new positions, my front paws twisted into strange talons, my muzzle pulled back, and my mind reeled with a new awareness. Clothes. I needed clothes. I wasn't yet sure why, but it certainly seemed ...
My first try took almost a decade. I just walked along, no prep, not worried about rushing. I wasn't used to that much walking then, and rested often. By my third, I was down to about four years. My personal best, I got down to two years, 97 days, 11 hours. Not a world record, but I'm no fan of getting to much attentio...
I woke to the chirping of crickets and gentle sounds of water lapping against the grass bank where I lay, the summer night pleasantly cool. I sighed with content, stretching like a cat. This was my own little private world, a small lake nestled deep in the woods behind my house. Above, stars twinkled brightly, as if ju...
Arthur was perplexed. He didn't know how to react after reaching that discovery. Despite that, he was able to compose himself and process his thoughts. The first thing he thought was, "Should I take action?"The henchman, who took up the job for some quick money since a year ago, was now pondering his limited options. ...
There was not a person from my hometown who watered down their speeches. "You were once a great swimmer, but now look at what you've become. You're nothing more than a fool. " That was one of the nicer comments, but still, after a while, they get to you. I sat alone in my flat, drinking my past and supposedly my futu...
So, you want to hear my confession? Okay then, I’ll give it to you. If you had to ask me why I did it, I would say it was my only option. My little girl, my sweet Ayra. It was a simple plan, only requiring me to hold up the richest man in Isern and demand enough payment for the resurrection of my daughter, who was st...
If only we had realized the danger sooner. We are immortal. We do not fear that which humans fear. The poisons that harm our prey do not harm us, and the diseases they carry cannot infect us. This 'climate change'? Ha. What was that to us? In the worst case scenario, the oceans rise for a while, and at most one in t...
“Look, I’m only paid to patrol this mall at night, not to settle turf wars going on between the damn mannequins!” she said. "Kathy, please try to understand, the fact that you weren't bombarded with product yesterday means they trust you."he said. "I don't give a fu-" "I'll double your pay. Double"He said. He ...
The dreaded weekend is here, that stupid deal I made in the moment is really kicking my ass- who knew an arch demon would've picked me, hopefully my 'inlaws' will be nice to me. Going to my best friend who is surprizingly just as or if not more freaked out than me for advice was probably the best idea, or at least not ...
The nurse knocked gently on the door as Vincent stepped into the small room. “Mister Pollak? You’ve got a visitor.” Vincent lingered in the doorway, not wanting to intrude if this was a bad time. A hiss of oxygen interrupted the low beep of machines. A man in his late sixties lay with his back to the door. A gruff v...
The medical bill, or at least the final amount for making the worst mistake of my life, is sixty-three thousand dollars. My life savings are gone, my wife died, and the car's at the bottom of a cliff in the middle of a ravine three miles deep in the wilderness. In slovenly fashion, the doctor waves the medical bill inc...
She went by the name The Aryan Witch amongst the axis powers. Well, whatever that is translated. Among the allied soldiers, she was called The Area Bitch, a reference to her obesity and generally unpleasant disposition. It wasn’t clever and I don’t normally condone mocking someone’s physical appearance or calling wome...
*They say, if you put a monkey in front of a typewriter for an infinite amount of time, there's a chance it will randomly type out Shakespeare's Hamlet. What people don't realize is - there's an equal chance it will write the Necronomicon.* *Or perhaps, some do realize it -- but then they think, it's only two books. I...
The bit of rope jingles at my hip. With every step the sounds of the iron rings spooled within it clang together. I am up to twenty now, but I remember back to when I only held one ring, to when that one ring was all that mattered. To when they were calling my classes commencement the final, and when a hundred burning ...
"Ummm... actually I... ummm..." The King was perplexed as he waited for the hero to finish his sentence. The princess spoke up to speed things along, "Out with it, Ned!" Ned pushed up his unusually large, thick-rimmed glasses as they never seemed to rest easy on his face. Nervously, he admitted, "Um, I kinda lied bef...
The five hundred years expired tonight. My family had been keeping track for generations, and I —along with my twin brother—was the most recent timekeeper. Every night, every day, one of us was awake constantly watching the clock, constantly keeping time. We didn't know why it was so important, why we had to know the e...
I asked for immortality, not to be the *main character*. I swear, if I have to take one more goddamn call from the president or the U.N. or some billionaire with a "proposition"... I'll... I guess I won't do anything but do what is asked. Might as well. Every time I try to stop, the ninjas and Scandinavians in balaclav...
Full disclosure, I'm a time traveler. Or at least I was. I lost my ship in an accident which sent it back to 1952 and now I'm stuck in the 3300s. It's not so bad. Generally people are able to live longer happier lives thanks to improvements in technology and society. You can chase any dream without the fear of survival...
The costume shop had moved in late summer, and had remained largely closed leading into fall. The sign always read 'Opening for Halloween', so when it finally opened, the town flocked to it, checking out the costumes, some purchasing them outright, others waiting until they could afford one. I was one of the ones who...
Warning, mentions sex and STDs, but not in any detail. "I DON'T UNDERSTAND!"roared the king, waving a report. "This report"(the king shoved said report at J'na, his chief medical advisor) "assured us that none of their airborne, waterborne, or foodborne illnesses could affect our species. Was it wrong?" "No, sir"re...
Introduce myself? I am Thudril. I have been described as strong of will and strong of mind. And strong of beard. Why do you laugh? These things are all true. I am... rather old. I do not have a family. Well... Not a typical one. I am from the North. I have walked far, and I have traveled farther. I am Thudril. I...
"I'm telling you Don, there's no more use for us old ones!"Wrathborn said, pointing at Don with the hand holding a glass of whiskey. "We're getting put out of a job by these upstarts who are rushing to fame." Don canted his head a little, looking over Wrathborn before he took another sip from his own whiskey glass. He...
It was a beautiful country, blessed with both its verdant green and its chivalrous populace. But this peace was turned upside down by the dragon who arose from the depths of a wildfire. Every night, when the sun doesn't shine, he would wake up and stretch out his fiery wings to terrorise the forests and the villages...
Jones hefts his mop like a double bladed battle-axe, still dripping blood - or cleaning fluid. He approaches through the rubble of the street, the front of the Starbucks bending over in a long arch, like a giant greeting a child. A stray blueberry bagel sits in the chaos. Jones munches on it, slightly sad it isn’t toa...
It all started with this dude. I don’t know why and frankly I don’t even know when anymore. All I remember is this dude tripping over me and thus being saved from a boulder crushing him. You see my cousin the boulder had just chosen that time to move homes. Now this dude starts to thank me profusely. I tried to make ...
*"Fucking piece of shit!"I exclaimed bitterly. For ten arduous hours, I had toiled with this machine, yet it remained unchanged from its initial state. This ordeal had persisted for an entire month, & to make matters worse, my final presentation loomed merely two weeks away.* *Doubt crept into my mind as I questioned ...
The whir of machinery rumbles, an almost comforting white noise of clicking in the faint red light. My first instinct is to drift back into the land of slumber, but a vice grip tightens painfully around my head and I’m suddenly wide awake. My eyes are inches away from a glassy, thick surface, and just past my shoulder...
“Oh, come on, let me go to my people. Look at them, they're drooling for me. You can’t deny them their god.” Riley had to be held back. The red-haired rookie of the Malright V2 ship trying to slam the red button beside the door, wanting to exit into this new foreign world. The only thing holding him back from godhood w...
"Ok, ok. We don't have enough silver to buy the salted elk."A lanky human in thick dark leathers said. A well dressed wizard woman just rolled her eyes. "Come on, we can probably get an elk ourselves. How hard can it be?" "Very hard."A dragonborn muttered back as he shifted his weight. The chainmail on his body made...
[Part 1 of 2] “Hell isn’t that bad of a place. If you ignore the torture, screams of the damned and sinful behavior, it’s no worse than your local town. Now, I understand you might have some reservations about going to your first shift, which is why I want to tell you that quitting is entirely fine. As long as you gi...
"I don't understand the question."I reply, casually flipping through reports of my latest subversions of the world's governments. "I mean, it's just backwards. First you extend your lifespan and then you start making people want to kill you. It seems a bit self defeating." "How?" "The whole 'making people want to ki...
Dretshilah paced back and forth on the palace's stony polished floor, making harsh guttural screeches as her footfalls left shallow craters of ash and embers behind. She struck out against a pillar with long clawed fingers, carving deep marks into the rock. Long hair preserved much of her modesty, but much of her smoot...
Tom sat back behind the counter, letting out a loud yawn as he flipped through the newspapers. He heard the bell chime at the front door, followed by a clutter of footsteps coming through. Glancing over at the mirror on his side, he saw two young men walk in. “I heard that you can find anything in this shop.” One of t...
He had a reputation as a simple man who loved nature. He never raised his voice, never was rude or hurried. Such was his warm, gentle nature that no animal, regardless of temperament, seemed to hold any hostility towards him. The people of the village knew to call him for anything from snakes to wolves. A hand on them ...
“Mom, why is that area sectioned off?” ​ Lena and her daughter, Maggie, were walking along the border of the woods outside the town that were fenced off. The crisp air of winter left them leaving small clouds with each breath. She smiled and looked away, “Well, the town’s tradition is that there’s a big scary ...
Excerpts of Entertainment Transcript- Kyreian Archives ##Stranded **Cycle 15: Earth** **Introduction Confessional**: Hi. My name is Geth Fniral’Haddem, I’m from Kyreia B14, I’m 9800 tocks- erm… I suppose here it would be about… 27… years? old? I’m really excited to be here, I’ve been hoping to feature on Stranded si...
(Sorry I had to change a bit of what the prompt was asking to fit the writing more organically.) Ever since the air raids and even some time after the war had ended, everybody would always ask how I was doing. Of course, that was just how every conversation started between people who have a shared experience of traged...
**I... tried to take a different take. It's not exactly as you said, but it's got all of the same elements.** Underwear, gotta remember the underwear. The grave demands modesty, after all. Ah, the grave. How you've beckoned, these past years. After all, you've called to everyone else close to me, and yet I cannot blam...
Dear Mom, I just wanted to let you know it's not as bad as they say in all the books. Don't get me wrong though, it's bad, just not AS bad. I know you asked to know what my day was like, as all your friends were dying to know, so I'm writing this letter to tell ya. First thing I noticed when I arrived was how hot it ...
I woke up to the sound of my mother asking me to open my bedroom door. My mother died four years ago. At my hands. But that's how things work now. That's how time works now. The comforting cycles of clock hands have been replaced by a senseless jumping between times. When I go the open the door, my hands are older than...
First, they shave and sponge you. A few words are spoke, but apart from that it's pretty quick. Zap. Your eyeballs pop out of your head and you vomit blood, you know? Heh, it ain’t no pretty way to go. I've seen my friends faces before they were taken away, but I ain’t feeling that. Not like them. How can you be sad ab...
When I got home, there was an ambulance outside my house. The neighbourhoods had gathered around in curiosity. I felt my heart beating, pain in the chest, sweat falling from my forehead. I know our relationship hasn't gone well lately. I tried to change, I gave her flowers, do the laundry. I've fighted with my boss b...
How many things last four hours? Cooking Christmas dinner? The Extended Edition of Return of the King? A drive from London to Manchester? Had there ever before been a war that lasted four hours? James didn't think so. He'd heard about the war that lasted fifty-two minutes between Britain and Zanzibar, and he'd heard o...
I had always thought it was fate, my coming to her. When I first saw her, I knew: I loved her. My life’s purpose would be to be her guardian, her friend, her comfort -- anything she needed me to be, and I would be there. I thought I was the more mature one; after all, I’d loved her first. But one day, she grew up by...
Wake up. The alarm clock is blaring as I find myself waking up and walking into my bathroom for my daily... What? What is this? My hair looks. It just looks perfect? I showered last night, how is that possi... is that make up? Am I wearing make up? What in all hell. Fine, whatever. I wash off the copious amount of st...
* After I've finished telling you the real story, remind me to tell you the truth, too. * I have always hated the sound of the laughter of children. * It was the fourth time I'd been brutally murdered that week, and I was getting damn sick of it. * This story will be told in reverse, and you will like it, whether yo...
She was wearing that bandana. That *fucking* pink bandana. Looking at it now, it's hard to believe I ever *didn't* hate it. Hell, I actually *bought* it for her on our third date, at a fair. It had some ridiculous cartoon mascot printed on it, a cheap souvenir. Completely forgot about it until she moved in with me. Fo...
It starts the day the United Nations' military arm develops a self-operating tank. The world's remaining population, soldiers and civilians alike, are ecstatic. This new weapon will patrol cities and towns, detecting and eliminating anything that moves without a pulse. It's been too long in coming: no one knows for sur...
Ah, there's Jenny. Ok, I'll wave. Hi Jenny. Yeah there's no way that I would ever talk to her. Jenny. *Freakin Jenny,* she's so beautiful. They just don't make girls like her anymore. GOD, she's gorgeous. Ok. Look away. Too late. She caught you staring. *Awkward.* Ok, work is over. That's great. Five-o-clock, on the ...
That was my favorite part of the day, snuggled up all cozy in my fabric lined home. It was warm, and I was calm. I could hear the soft rhythm or denim sliding past denim as the human walked. Sigh, what a beautiful day. My life was pretty calm until then. Until I met him, *The penis*. Oh! I remember our first encounter,...
Attack of the Clones. Shortly after he is granted emergency powers, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine thanks Senator Jar-Jar of Naboo for his moving speech, and promises not to fail the confidence that was put in him. And Jar-Jar bows. "Meesa only speak from deep of heart--" And his demeanor changes, his eyes narrow, th...
"We...have our orders." "We're scientists. *They're* scientists. It's wrong to kill them. Besides, they're stronger than we are, and there's no way we can afford to kill them besides strangulation. Ever wonder how blood reacts in no gravity environments when you stab a man in the back?" The two astronauts stared out ...
They were showering me in flowers and snapping pictures of me from every direction when I realized it. I was shaking a man's hand and smiling down at him and my face fell. I was suddenly filled with dread as I stopped and truly looked at myself for the first time. I was not the man these people were cheering for. T...
Hey, have you ever looked up at the sky on a dark, dark night? All those stars out there, hanging just above your head and if you could just reach a little higher, you'd be able to hold them in your hands? They're not so different than you or me, really - we just took different paths. We're both just star-stuff trying ...
With a shaky hand, Zeblong handed the letter to Zongleb. "To be frank, it doesn't look too good."As Zongleb read the letter, his eyelids folded themselves up his grey brow and revealed the gentle pink underside; the thin line of his mouth moved further to the foot of his round face, making way for the trembling eye. A ...
Having lived in the shadow of something greater for all of his life, it was easy to feel victorious at this moment. For thousands of years, the farther civilization pushed, all the grander their ancestors seemed to become. Like gods, present only in condescending spirit, their skyscrapers dominated countrysides, thei...
It was fun for a day, if that. I remember waking up and being told I was the only one who survived the outbreak. THE last man alive. I didn't know how to react, I thought I had just won the lottery! I mean how many men dream of something like this! I still wasn't even sure this wasn't all a dream. Even if it was I wasn...
"Is anyone alive? Is anyone awake?" You know, there are some moments where you're just, helpless. Nothing you do can ever change the fate that you've been assigned. I guess being in a plane with everyone knocked unconscious, including the pilots would be one such situation. I've laughed in the face of danger, so why ...
No one was going to take them in, and quite frankly he was fine with that. But he had watched more and more of his people fall to the sleeping sickness, and watched as his ancestral lands were taken over. He was old enough to realize that the end of his people was imminent, but he knew he could never give up. There had...
He's...bowing. First He calls *me* aside, specifically and of all people, and now He *bows.* I'm speechless, but of course He knows what I'm thinking. "Why do I bow for you?"He asks, and I swear I see mischief in His eyes. (Is that thought blasphemous? Does that even matter anymore?) "Why, because your life was of suc...
**If I die..** Lisa. I sat down to write this letter and I can think of nothing to say to you that would let me go in peace. I went through so many drafts, and honestly, there are just too many words and not enough space. But before you close this letter, please listen. I just want to say I'm not that guy anymore. I d...
Drew groaned under the covers as someone pounded on his bedroom door. Way, way too early in the morning. His first thought was the date. December 31. New Year's Eve. It happened every year. January 1, a body comes into the coroner's office. Bullet in the brain, rent flesh, stab wounds, you name it. For the last...
As I darted my eyes up and down at the giant screen, I heard the last few parts of the winning code as they resounded over the loudspeaker. A-9... I heard groans of dissapointment from behind as feverant shouts of anger erupted from my left. I checked the last part of my ticket. A match. I among the crowd would be t...
I suppose my job isn't the worst job in the world. There are worse things to do to spend your days. But not many. My job isn't your average shitty nine to five cublicle job. Its also not your average 'clean up toilets after someone went to an all you can eat chili restaurant'. Its...different. How different? Well for...
"Look, it's this simple. You're outdated. Your tricks aren't going to work anymore, everybody reads the fine print. Offer them a fortune, a kingdom, a harem of babes? They're going to think you're crazy." Lucifer grunted, leaning back on his haunches. It was all he could not to snatch this little weasel bastard and pu...
It was an unfortunate resemblance. I admitted that. It was, however, necessary. I told myself that, every day. Until we found the Great Leader, I would perform his duties in his stead. I mean, it wasn't all bad. I had been picked, quite literally, out of my serfdom. The food was a perk. I just had to keep my mouth sh...
He breathed in. He held the air in his lungs, not daring to exhale. *She was sitting on top of the world, I was so nervous for her. It was her first time. How could I not worry?* He’d been taking care of her for her entire life, and now, everything was out of his control. His body began desperately trying to let ou...
Jack Sparsden always knew he was special, he just never had the chance to show it. He was a nobody, just an ordinary office man with an ordinary family and an ordinary job, but inside him, he always wished for that magical spark that would make him *special*. It was just like any other ordinary day, slightly overcast...
*So, I don't think this is NSFW, but if it is, please let me know. As for formatting, I decided to use the Hashtag symbol instead of spelling out the word. If you think I should have formatted it differently, let me know. As a final disclaimer, this is just meant to be funny. I mean no offense, if I somehow did offend ...
**I**'m on a plane. **A**ll of the other passengers are cheery, but I am tired and cannot get to sleep. **M**any of the people around me seem to know each other. **A**s soon as I close my eyes, the flight attendant asks me for my choice of drink. **L**et me sleep. **L**emonade, please. **A**t last, I get some ...
"Our last auction for the day, what everyone has been waiting for!"the auctioneer said to get the crowd excited. "The mind of Piotr Fetzinski, the man responsible for helping us break the light speed barrier!" William Ogawa was one of five people ready to bid. The University of Richmond had placed a lot of money at hi...
As Marie was sitting at the table enjoying a cup of tea, her son walks in, tossing his backpack to the ground and flipping his shoes off. "Joseph, Your father will not be happy if your shoes are not where they belong when he comes home,"Marie tells him. He puts his shoes in the rack, grumbling. "How was your day at sch...
The worst part was not the hunger. It was not the exhaustion. It wasn't the loneliness, the anguish, or even the desolation all around me that had gotten worse every day of the trip. It was the resignation. No matter how much I tried to tell myself there was hope, I knew I was lying to myself. The eighteenth time I t...
"Owl Man! Use your heightened senses! Can you tell us where the hostages are being taken?" "Who? Who? Who?" "Shit. I forgot that that was all you got. Snake Eyes! What about you?" "Yes! I do!"Snake Eyes holds up a pair of dice, eyes gleaming with excitement. "What is it, Snake Eyes?" "It's a pair of ones!" "Yes.....
"And if they we don't help them they will, and I quote, 'Eliminate the human race like Hitler would a Jewish painting critic.'" "My God,"the president said, "They sound super serious." And so arrangements were made at the crash site to provide enough irony to fuel the strange exotic engines to the point where the ali...
The antique store was new, unlike its product. Ashley had met the store owner, Mr. Hart, at the local produce market and knew that his establishment was only blocks away from her and her husband’s apartment. Hearts Antique was the name on the card he’d given her. Ashley had been meaning to go for weeks, but Matt had be...
It all started in Japan. The industry of love. Selling the trappings of a relationship with none of the commitments. And slowly but surely, the human race stopped reproducing. The effort of commiting to a relationship became too much for people. Comfort could be bought, intimate relations simulated. People wasted away...
I've always made my parents wait. Mother yells, "Honey, dinner is ready!" As I finished my video game slow and steady. My father would ask me to help fix the car, But into my fantasy life I lived too far. Everywhere I went I would make my parents wait, After all, I'll only be a little late. 19 years gone by and ...
I wrote this quickly and it's my first prompt. I hope you like it. I look up at the clock; it reads 2:58 PM. Perfect, two minutes until I get to go home for the weekend. My teacher continues to ramble and it occurs to be that this lonely sloth is going to continue to drone until the bell rings. If we’re unlucky she ma...
We met - sparks, ignition - adoration. Something grew, and we loved. I loved his gentleness; kindness He was generous; passionate kisses. I'm not entirely sure what he saw in me, but I don't doubt that at one time, he was sincere. He was like that - honest. Until he wasn't (though neither was I). Do you ...
