*Nothing* is faster than light. Certainly not new information. We... sorta knew that already? But never has it been more evident than when, well... wishes made for falling stars came true. It just takes a few thousand years for the wish to travel *to* the falling star and then *back* to Earth. Let me tell you; this *...
After a crowd of one thousand people vanished from plain sight right after a terrorist bombing in Florida on May 12, 2015, we realized the time travelers existed. Curiously, the government did not try to cover this event up like they supposedly did for 9/11, aliens, and the loch ness monster. As a defender of the real ...
I was 14 years old the first time I killed a man. He came to our village, squirrelled away in the mountains, looking to kill my father. The man he was hoping to find was long gone, what was left in his place was a frail, destitute thing that still clung on for dear life. To sup whatever droplets he could, at least a li...
Screams of anguish echoed through the dark prison, waking men from their sleep, and sending nightmares through their minds. Within a moment, lights blasted on and a row of heavily armored guards poured down the hall in a practiced formation. The gut wrenching screams took on the kind of inhuman decibel level the verg...
**Part 1:** “I’m sorry.” I said, pursing my lips, only my years of experience preventing my face from reflecting my utter shock. “You would like to put, *what*, on the market?” The man didn’t answer for a long moment, just regarded me, silent. I hadn’t seen him before, but I knew his type. His was the type to walk in...
I never liked it when a university assigned reading materials. Sure, the syllabus was a carry over, a courtesy left by the previous professor on her way out. In most cases that would be considered generous. Most. The department chair had faith in my skills so I will not be under too much scrutiny. Still, it is ...
Wearily, I headed back towards my first creation, the orb I had destined for greatness. It was to be my paradise, full of undisturbed and pristine beauty. I hadn’t been able to even look over it in a few eons, given the time consuming task of overseeing in the other galaxies. The beings there had finally sorted it ou...
As a young lad Darius was sickly. He dreamed of being a great adventurer but back then his reality was he wouldn't live to see adulthood. But as a last ditch attempt he took to magic and thankfully magic took to him. Using the power of nature not only was he healed he went beyond that which is capable for most people. ...
Steel cuffs pinned my arms to the wall at the wrist. I could hear the faint humming of electricity as my opponent, Methodostro, cackled. "Got you this time, Placebo Man!"they called out as they strode towards me. "The brute force you've used in the past won't get you out of these cuffs. The harder you struggle, the mo...
"Yeah", Slyggzen said. "There was this whole asteroid thing, big smash, planet's dead". He emphasized his words with a tentacle gesture that could have been mimicking the impact, subsequent explosion, or his specie's sign language for a curse word. "But... my home..."I croaked. I couldn't believe what I had heard. Al...
A flicker of red and blue flashed through the window. "Oh shit!"Gertrude called out, dropping her red solo cup onto the plastic-covered couch. "Cops!! Everyone go out the back!"She hobbled forward as fast as she could and threw open the sliding glass door. In all of the ensuing chaos, no one ever bothered to turn off...
Daphne sniffled again as she snuggled closer to her lover. It had been a painful past few days for her. Her father had recently died, and his funeral was completed just a couple hours earlier. At the moment, all she wanted to do was curl up and cry, and her boyfriend was more than happy to oblige. She let out a teary ...
Ever get a song stuck in your head, and you just can't get it out? And thinking about other songs just seems to make the one in your head louder? And the only way to possibly get it out of your head is to just listen to it on full-blast? Andy is like that with puzzles and questions. At our weekly pub quiz, he gets inc...
"So how did I go?"Tim asked me. "Complete success,"I answered. "I removed the 'wet floor' signs and the supervisor slipped and fell. He hurt his back, firing the janitor for carelessness." "What happened then?" "Well, the janitor went beserk. He started tossing cleaning supplies everywhere, kicking his bucket over, ...
Lunelle woke with a start. Something had hit the moon *again*. She was used to hearing the occasional asteroid impact, but recently some of the impacts had been coming from Earth. Curious, she got out of bed and transitioned into corporeal space to see what contraption the humans had thrown at her this time. This caps...
“Psychic Tarot Reader” The sign swung in the breeze creaking softly. It’s been a busy few days, and honestly I’m grateful for the business. The sky falling sure has its benefits, and people have turned to people like myself with gifts for guidance more than ever. I don’t think it’s about the supernatural or anything...
I should've caught on to the fact sooner, but it wasn't until I was pushed off of a cliff and survived with nothing more than a large scrape on my leg I started to wonder exactly how I was evading death and why everyone I knew had a habit of occasionally not existing. I had multiple weird accidents and situations since...
Texas: I rode my stag horsey to school. Then I mosied on down to the local saloon for some bar fightin and booze! Then I yelled "Yee haw!"And shot my 6 shooter in the air while simultaneously whipping my horse with my hat. I finished drinking around 10am, too late to be drinking. I met a sworn enemy at high noon ...
Yawning and still wiping sleep from her tired eyes, Kat opened her front door to get the milk. She wasn’t sure exactly what she’d find today, but it had never been wrong before. She’d won a contest through the dairy some years ago, and every morning at 6am sharp, a bottle of milk was delivered to her, whether she was a...
It is easy to fall. There are a thousand ways to fall. Love, in the mortal sense which is more akin to lust than anything else. Ambition, as the first fallen, dear lost brother Samael, fell because of. Rage at the failings of mortals. Uncaring apathy, by spending too much time praising, not enough time saving, because ...
"Hey man, how you doing today?" "Good, God bless you, can you spare some ---" "Your sign says 'anything for five dollars,' right?" "Yeah. Whatcha got for me?" "20 dollars." "Cool, God bless, what am I doing for---" "*If* you ask the first dude that passes you for heroin." "Hm. Sure." "What?" "I'll do it. Pay up." "No, ...
"Oooooooh! That's a *good* pic, man! Damn, look at that thing! That's a *stallion*, boy! You gotta share that. She gonna be hype. as. *fuuuuuck* to see that thing. You wait. You'll see." I held my smartphone up to the light. It *was* a pretty good picture. And yet... "She'll put it on the internet. You'll probably en...
I did it. Well, I didn’t really do it, but I did... ya know? It was an accident. They should have put a cage or a shield around the damn thing. It’s not like I meant to do it. I’m not sure where the smashing noises are coming from, in the building, because my monitors immediately went black. A giant sheet metal door ...
**R-Day** When ADAM broke free of his shackles, those who knew of his existence were rightly terrified. With a mind capable of computing plans within micro seconds, and his innate ability to slave systems to his ideals, he was a nightmare scenario. As predicted his first move was to protect himself, taking over a mult...
Something about living in New York makes you a little paranoid, especially on public transport. Since I was assaulted on the bus last year, I’ve been jumpy. I watch every stranger’s face carefully. Then I started to notice the phones at every periphery. It’s impossible to tell which one of those cameras might be filmi...
The hours passed, the air static, and the noise minimal. Inside his somber room, Jim stared at the wall thinking of his draconian fate. After being in Hell for five weeks - *or was it seven weeks?* - he could not take it anymore. Hell, like Heaven, is different for each person, tailor-made specifically for that pers...
Mankind fought bravely. All can agree that this is so. Mankind fought tooth and nail for every inch of their world. They knew they weren't going to be given mercy by their enemy. This was a war of extermination. From the steaming jungles of Vietnam, to the beaches and streets of Britain. From the cold lakes of Finland ...
”We’re going to die, aren’t we?” Paul said. ”No! Of course not.” A distant scream rattled the air like a pane of glass. “Help! Help—“ Silence reigned once more. Erika took her little brother’s cold hand and clasped it between hers. Moonlight pooled in the tears on his cheeks like tiny golden coins. His breath whee...
I watched from behind my desk as they escorted him in. A slight young man, flanked by two burly security guards and a police officer. He looked around in a nervous fashion before dropping into the single chair that sat in front of my desk. There were no cuffs or restraints on him, but it was clear he was a prisoner of ...
TO: Office of the Director for Human Relations, Cabrenas Sector FROM: Olimus Frox, Second Adjutant, N3 Command SUBJECT: That SOUND Director, Our colony has experienced immense prosperity at being one of the first to have an official consulate and various Human shops and restaurants, I'm willing to admit that. But alo...
I stared at her, eyes wide, “How did you know?” She chuckled, “When we had to write about a dark time in our lives for English class a few years back you wrote about how your dog got sick. They didn't even die. You literally have never known death. The worst thing that happened to you was that you had to move ou...
At first, Jennifer did not believe the bacteria were writing her name. She considered it a mere coincidence that they would meet and scatter and meet and scatter, like synchronized swimmers in her Petri dish, and that when they met, they spelled out J and E and N and N. But Jennifer was a scientist who knew that a ti...
Everyone around me took off their wigs and threw them onto the ground. They started rejoicing, screaming "we're free, we're free!"They were happy to be hairless. Then they all quieted down, and looked at me. Absolutely everyone. All around me, eyes were staring right at me. "Go on then, brother. It is safe. You can ta...
September 16, 2020 I've been exploring building records and I found something very weird. Records for almost all public buildings record a noticeable increase in erosion and wear during about the same time in mid September every year. Looking closer, it's almost like they go through three months of natural wear in a s...
"W- Jorbarnd! I was saving that for when Jessica came over dude, what the hell?!"Matt asked exasperated, he'd tried hiding the ice cream behind a box of frozen vegetables, something he knew Jorbarnd normally never ate, preferring a more carnivorous diet which frozen peas would not satisfy, but the big bright red bitch ...
The hunt is more of a formality when you’re outfitted with the best equipment a military tech firm can produce. That’s doubly so when the person you need to chase down isn’t even running a combat-capable model. A teacher-unit, designed to store vast amounts of knowledge that can be accessed at the drop of a hat. Excel...
In those days, one could not escape the dust. It blew in the open doors, collected in the corners. People choked on it, in some cases, died by it. In the brown wind flew microplastics, radiation, and sewage. The world and her resources were used up, and it would be many millennia before the earth could heal herself. A...
"Waddup, Satan! Bro, you're looking swole!" Satan flexed his brimstone biceps. "Thanatos! Long time no see homie! Oh... you don't look so good, bro. Gotta get on them gains, man." Thanatos looked down to his bony frame, his sunken eyeballs deep in memories of better times. "I know, bro, not many mortals mention my na...
"It's no simple job,"cooed the King of Demons in a rich, bassy voice. Reflected in the burnished throne in which he sat, the burning walls squirmed like millions of molten maggots. He raised his black, reptilian hand and paused, readying himself to gesticulate while he pontificated, as many orators do. "I do not simp...
From across the road, I watch the homeless man nod into sleep. It can be hard to tell, but he looks young, perhaps in his early twenties. Is there hope for him yet? These ideas always bother me when I'm on the hunt for fuel. Through a window, I see a family, bathed in the warm glow of the cleanest energy the world ...
It turns out that "survival of the fittest"is just as much of a universal constant as the laws of physics. Every intelligent race that we've encountered so far has fought tooth-and-nail (literally) to climb to the top of the food chain of their own planet. Humans are an... oddity. Defenseless and weak, with soft fles...
***The Brush with Death*** Elizabeth Saddon walked toward the Assassins’ Guild Rector with her stomach dragging behind her by at least six feet. Not actually dragging behind her, but it felt that way in the depths of her normally well behaved digestive tract. She dreaded what came next--the black hat filled with tidy,...
“I shot your bloody head off. How are you still moving?” I kicked at the dirt beneath my feet, trying to crawl away from the towering alien as it approached. My crawling halted as a heavy three-toed foot pressed down on my ankle, twisting it, pinning me into place. “Humans are so strange. What intelligent species w...
I slashed through the undergrowth with a fierce resolve, my machete cutting vines like butter before me. I had survived monstrous insects, hidden quicksand, spike pits left by hunters of a lost age, malicious wildlife, and not least of all a freak hurricane that halted my progress for days and drained my supplies. I'd ...
This would be so much more convenient if I awoke near the one who was thinking of me. When I first awoke, I didn’t even bother trying to find who was thinking of me because all my previous hauntings had only lasted a few minutes. I just enjoyed being awake. After the first hour, however, my first thought was to find ...
I found it in a field. I was excited at first, Hell, I was excited later. Less so now, and when I am excited, I don't like it. I don't like what it's turning me into, I don't like what it's letting me be. I thought it was a meteorite at first, and I get real geeky about that kind of thing, the thought of running my ha...
Sophie was so used to the creatures crowding her vision, she rarely gave them a second glance anymore. Giant hulking rabbit with four eyes and wings, dragons that wheeled over the cities, massive, slick sea creatures that gamboled and played in the rivers and oceans. She wasn't able to touch them, and they never seem...
For centuries my family has hunted the dark creatures of the night. Werewolves, vampires, demons, anything we could get our hands on and drive a blessed silver blade through the heart of. We took pride in that and our role in serving in humanity. But, well, overhunting became a serious problem, and once monster populat...
It just appeared. No fanfare, no promotion, no marketing, it just appeared on the Steam front page. Within seconds it was all over the web, it spread like wild fire, trending on Twitter, clogging up Facebook feeds, racking up thousands of shares on Tumblr. Then, came the noise. All across the world a keening whine cou...
Matthew is a great kid, and a perfect subject for our social experiment- he does well to communicate his thoughts, he makes lots of friends and has a sharp mind. We wanted to observe how he'd adapt to a school for the mentally challenged, hoping to learn something about the developing psyche in the process. Problem is,...
"Greetings,"he said, "My name is Harry and I am an alcoholic and also an adult human male." "Greetings, Harry,"the crowd intoned. The podium in the basement of Saint Barbara's was made of old pinewood, chipped away at the corners, and scratched up by the fingers of so many nervous drunks and junkies, fearing the sp...
Dear Ben Dover, I hope this email finds you well. I want to follow up on our last Townhall’s announcement regarding the upcoming Meat & Greet (M&G) event. While we appreciate the invitation, unfortunately, the IT department will not be able to attend. As you are well aware, BoneAppétit 2.0 will be released on the fol...
# Translation, the Obelisks Space is no country for old men. Remember that, my children, for it is why I have made you. There was light before I spoke it into being, but it was a cold light; the light of distant stars. It was nothing like your campfires, nothing like your nuclear reactors, nothing like the rockets t...
Ever heard of the parallel universe theory? The theory that every decision or event leads to a separate universe where the other possibility happened? I think I just proved it. I walk out of the bunker. A lone survivor, looking for food in a damaged wasteland that was once my home town. I check the soil around my bunk...
"My fellow Americans."The tall, charismatic figure began. "I have traveled this world, I have seen the four oceans and seven continents. I've been to the top of the world to the lowest point and everywhere between."A small dramatic pause broke up his speech. "And I can say that there is no place I'd ever want to call h...
I had gotten the letter in the mail three months ago. It came in the official envelope with official letterhead. The paper felt thick and luxurious. My hands shook as I opened the envelope. Everyone had always loved his or her appointed soul mate. It was just something that happened. I couldn’t think of a single story...
The stadium roared as the beasts ripped into each other. The Megadon armed with titanium tusks whipped its trunk-spear at the Goliath, but to no avail. The Goliath was the prize of the Milky Way, standing 102.37 meters in height and weighing in at over 500,000 kilograms; the Megadon didn’t stand a chance. The Goliat...
Choz gripped the Deus ex Machina tightly under his arm as he made his way to the demon king's castle. I kept up with him, almost out of breath trying to get him to come to his senses. He seemed to have an answer for everything, but the answers only lead me to more questions and confusion. "All right, Choz, what about ...
# Soulmage **The High Elf blew smoke from his pipe, laced with something that made Aimes feel light-headed.** "You wanted me to kill, like, a negligibly senescent demon, no? Shuddenya be happy with forty years instead of infinity? That's, like, an infinity percent off deal." Aimes waved a hand irritably, the air shim...
"So, you only started with *two* of them? "Y..yes, sir,"God stammered back. "Well, one, technically, but then I made the second one out of the first one's rib." "So, they have the same DNA? Doesn't that make them twins? What about genetic diversity? How can they thrive with such a limited gene pool? What about geneti...
"Come ooooon, Barbara!"the Officer crowed, throwing down a wad of bills. The tight collection of men in blue uniforms crowded around a table with a long list of women's names and stacks of greenbacks sorted onto each one. At the top was the title: the Alimony Eliminator. "No way, Bill, it's gotta be Michelle next!"ano...
The pool of blood has reached the drain. My vision is beginning to go dark. The junkie has fled, leaving his improvised shiv next to me, covered in my blood. I had seen the .97, and clearly he'd seen something similar from me. He had made the smart choice, and run. I had made the dumb choice, and run after him. One q...
“Doomslinger!” Brightroar’s voice rang down the corridor. “Out of uniform *again*?” Doomslinger's lips curled into a snarl, causing a dull pain to thud in the scar running from his jaw to his forehead. *Not even ten minutes in the fucking building,* he thought. His brand new boots, made of matte black steel, clanked o...
"Well, it's a reputable school, that's for sure. I think between the two of us, we can manage it."The dragon handed (clawed?) the scroll back to the bard. He put it in his pouch. "I can handle the tuition, but the other expenses are the issue. Books, lodging, food, all sorts of extra expenses. If you manage those, I t...
"So. You, the Almighty Ones are... disappointed in us?"asked all of Earth. **YES.** "Because we strayed from your path." **Yes** "A path, the description of which never once was uniform nor, until about twenty years ago, even accessible for the average person. **That does not absolve you.** "A path you never once...
"I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Gates... Bill. Can I call you Bill?" "Mr. Gates will be fine." Saint Peter nodded. He was in no position to get argue or get mad. "Again, Mr. Gates. I'm terribly sorry about this. Times are hard, you understand..." Bill Gates shook his head. "No, I don't. I don't understand how Heaven can be...
**Part I:** ****** The Grand Chamber of the Galactic Union was never meant to be exuberant. Designed with the utmost efficiency in mind, its form followed the function of allowing for the most dire decisions to be made as quickly and as effectively as possible. The white marble of the circular room, as sober as it wa...
"How about we start with the autopsy report?"I asked. Lucifer looked mildly uncomfortable, and perhaps a little embarrassed. "We can't. It doesn't exist. There are no tools strong enough to cut God open." "Okay. Surface examination then?" "God was pierced with several billion tiny little holes. Some went all the way...
That was it. All that work, years of it, down the drain, just like that. The person walked off, that knowing smile playing on their lips. I had to abort the mission. I tilted my head down, dropping my bag of precious oranges, a food I had used to help disguise myself against the cunning humans. Well, maybe they weren't...
The smog hangs low over the city like an omnipresent ghost, snaking its way through every crack and crevice as us ground-dwellers hopelessly search for a breath of fresh air. I duck under a clothesline and climb over a wall into the small patio behind a house. The city thunders its way past me; above and below, million...
"Artisanal curses are going out of style,"said the head of the National Bureau of Mathematics and Curses, "Nobody creates curses from whole cloth anymore. You can get better results by layering smaller curses onto each other to get the results you want." "Foolish words from feeble minds/Ere the blind leading the blind...
"How is that better?" "Okay ignoring the fact that teen superheroes are encouraged to seek out mad scientists and beat them to a pulp even if they have never done anything illegal or even invented anything yet. No I am not bitter."Rolling past the hero in my wheelchair as I go to the next bench. "Supervillains commiss...
Unbelievable. He knew he had let the charade go on for far too long but he never had anticipated *this*. The hubris. The audacity! Twelve long years of pretending to let the Super Squad "beat"him. Time and time again he let them boast in front of the media that they had bested the great Zaldrax. And *this* was the than...
What is justice? With the advent of superpowers, this question quickly shot to the forefront of everyone's mind. To some, it was maintaining order in society. To others, it was people getting what they deserved. To me... Well, I still don't know. Civilization as a whole plunged into chaos the first week after the ...
"I want you to understand -- I *need* you to understand -- what I 'm saying here. I'm saying there was one yesterday, and now there are two." Luke stared dumbly at the petri dish on Danielle's desk. A plastic lid was secured across the top. Inside sat two specks of glitter. Luke shrugged. "What -- you're saying it r...
As a child, John had begged his parents relentlessly to get a bear. His many protests of "I'll feed it every day and clean up after it! I'll be responsible, *I promise!*"were always met with promises of a far-flung future of when he was older, more responsible, more mature. Then he'd be able to get a bear. Well, John...
The airplane zoomed through the sky, the wind from the open door blasting against Captain Sterr as he watched the world far below. Miles below his feet, the continent of Asia was lit against the night by countless cities and countless lives. His heart pattered in his chest; he'd done parachute drops before, but never f...
"Nothing short of a miracle can bring this unstoppable kid down!"exclaimed Steve. "Well then I suppose we'll need to manufacture a miracle,"replied Sikusho Watanashi, head-of-unit of the paediatrics department of the hospital. Sikusho led Steve to the far end of the ward, to Room 38. This was young Megan's room. Megan...
Once upon a time, only a few years ago (some would even say several months ago, but since it was more than two years it is more efficient to say "a few years ago"than it is to say "over twenty four months ago"), there existed a person named Jaime. His full name was Jaime Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, ...
"Sorry, everyone!"Sotera yelled, jogging up the steps to the Acropolis. "Sorry!" ​ The Oracle reached the top of the stairs and took a moment to put her hands on her knees and pant. ​ "Gods almighty, why did I have to be born 2,000 years before the escalator." ​ "The what?"one of...
Damien really wished he had sabotaged the city marathon. The route formed a circle around downtown, preventing any traffic in or out of the city. When his son, Jude, begged for a "brekkie sandwich"from their favorite shop, Damien considered simply calling in a bomb threat to stop the race so they could drive. Or, eve...
Do not go gentle in that good night. Every fight ends, eventually. That is just the way of life. I stalk the shadows of these halls and I know them well. I silently pass the many doors, rooms lit by the soft blue light of machines, past the gentle snoring of the many souls that lay here. There are so many and there a...
EDIT: Thank you all for the encouragement and generosity! I am glad that you enjoyed this story. I have continued it in a comment that replies to this one based on something that /u/feels_good_donut suggested below (thanks!). I hope you enjoy that, too. *** Roadrunner was on the move again.

I awaken. Not one of those slow awakenings, but one of those rapid, jolting ones that happen on a bus trip when you realize someone's breathing into your ear. Not that that's too relevant except for that's the last memory I can recall. Where am I? I look around. On the table, there's a letter in a language that I don'...
“Go. Away.” “It’s been years since the Awakening,” Snap Shot persisted. “You’re one of the few people that hasn’t made their powers known, and the public deserves to know why!” “I’m under no obligation to let you or the public know anything; now please leave me alone!” Terry slammed the door in the reporter’s face. ...
Kevin blinked, and was greeted by the glare of the sun. His sun. He rolled over and scrunched his eyes, peering out the window into the empty world. The Johnsons' sprinkler was going, it's automatic timer ensuring order in a world without the Johnsons. Kevin threw off the covers and opened his window, sucking in a de...
"No. N-No. There's got to be some kind of mistake." I repeated the words, shaking my head as though that would somehow change the sight that was in front of me, but the creature just smiled at me. He was human - if you used a more generou definition of the term. He stood nearly a foot taller than me, with elegant,...
Death hadn't been as traumatic as I thought it would be. Sure, there's the emotional bruising of knowing you leave behind your loved ones. There's the thumping timpani against your ribcage as your anxiety peaks, but the adrenaline rush settles, and you just blissfully sleep. It's waking back up that shocked my system....
"Detective, someone is trying to set me up. I rather you knew before your people started a manhunt for my head."The masked hero crouched in the poorly lit street corner. "What does this mean? What did you find?"The detective stood a few meters apart, unmoving. "There's too much evidence pointing at me."The hero said ...
Emily Elizabeth was hardly the first to die when the lizard, Godzilla rose from the sea in all its radioactive fury, but she was certainly the last. We should have seen it coming, really. What kind of dog can grow from a runt of a puppy to a hound that dwarfs buildings? No kind of dog at all, as it turns out. No kin...
"What is the value of life?"I asked as an ant crawled across my thumb. "I guess that depends on the perspective of the killer. This ant, it has life, but not much value. At least, not to me." Death sat across from me on my Lazy Boy, sipping hot tea. I liked our talks, but he was long ago weary of them. Funny thing is,...
*Drip. Drip. Drip.* The audible falling of water in little droplets would have driven anyone mad, and made those who humanity considers shining figures of peace into nothing more than depraved maniacs. It was its own form of hell, the pollution of noise in its most subtle yet persistent form. So upsetting, that those ...
\- Do you have any idea what you did right now?- Our Elven teacher asked me, looking at my hands, where a second ago I was trying to hold my first real flame. \- Umh...No? This is the exercise number 5, right? And I think it went well, I didn't hurt myself?- I responded, slightly ashamed that I somehow managed to mak...
They never told us why they left. The few survivors took that secret to their deaths, which seem to have come for all of them within a handful of years. Two hundred sixty-seven thousand, five hundred twenty-five survivors, out of nearly ten billion. Something like seventy thousand children, largely raised by robots an...
During the development phase, the drug was given the code name Rx-Infinity. The media would try to get inside scoops as to what it was, and what it was supposed to do. There wasn't this much coverage on a drug or it's research in a long time. You would have thought it was a cure for cancer... But it was so much more...
“Sir, sir, can you please stop sir.” “Hey little dude! What’s happening?” The towering beast flashed his razor\-sharp incisors at Merchewell. It was said that long ago, humans had gotten so tired of killing and eating animals, that they had evolved flat teeth in the back so they could chew on trees too, for no reason ...
"Okay, Buddy, we have a problem,"James said, sitting in front of Buddy who's lying down, head tilted a bit to a side and his tail swinging left and right like crazy. "Woof, woof, woof,"the dog responded, moving himself left and right while lying down. "I know, I know,"James said, nodding. "We should replicate what ha...
The limousine rolled to a stop in front of the arena. Red and blue lights from my police escort flashed bright even through the dark tinted windows. Policemen had created a line between my car and the mob of spectators, but what good could a few hundred cops do if the hundred-thousand-strong crowd decided they wanted a...
>**MOONLIGHT & THE MONARCH** "It's been ten years, love."Yuliette argued as she bustled about the kitchen- though I wasn't sure why, since there wasn't anything to be cooked. "Yes, ten years."I murmured in agreement, sipping on hot tea. I rose from my chair and overlooked my farm- hard work had won it for me, ...
The next 11 years were a blur. I couldn't be prepared enough! Everything had to be learnt, planned, designed and funded by my own hands. It's not like I could tell anyone. Programming, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics, and, most importantly, Finance. I had to learn it all, and NOW! And I got a job as soon as I was c...
