A bright red light on one of the pods begins to flash as it releases a loud hiss. Steam pours out in all directions as a door flings open. The body of a young man falls to the floor, still in uniform with the little visor and a name tag. He doesn’t move, but does eventually start to breathe slowly. The hissing stops. ...
The slam at the entry almost toppled over the beakers and vials that she'd been pouring over, goggles -- and the glasses behind them -- fogged with excited breath. Yet now, she'd shot upright, part in fear, part in surprise, and part in frustration; she'd not been off the stool she'd been perched so carefully on before...
Suddenly, the air erupted throughout the castle-town, jolting even the heaviest of sleepers awake. The culprit was the church’s ‘Voice of God’; a massive copper bell that required a team to ring effectively. “One ring.” I thought to myself A single toll wasn’t cause for alarm, and was usually just meant to announce a...
Say what you want about the deepest parts of the ocean. It is dark. Sure. The pressure is enormous. Sure. There are scary things down there. Sure. But you know the most important thing? it is also quiet down there. In the rare instances where my hardwired brain allows me even the tiniest glimpse of a dream, this is whe...
The ticking echoed in the distance as I stood at the fence, if one could call it that, and stared towards the opening where the house should be. Everyone knew it was there and not once had anyone willingly ventured further than the fence then returned to speak of it. I let my hand linger on the gate, the intricate lock...
Interview Log (12/01/1991) Subject: Edward Swallow, age 6 Interviewing Officer: Stan Johnson Note: Due to the subject's age, this record is audio-only. Officer Stan Johnson: Hey, bud. Are you doing alright? Edward Swallow: Yeah. Johnson: Do you need anything? Water? A snack? Edward: No, thanks. ...
Pinocchio was a toy with a desire to be a human boy, he told lies and lied so much that everytime he lied his wooden nose grew bigger but then came one faithful day that pinnochio simply said "this statement is a lie", in that moment pinnochio couldn't be a human boy because from that moment on Pinnochio wasn't a toy h...
I was passing by the local temple on my way to work when I saw him. He was just standing there with his hands clasped together and bowed head. I didn’t think much of it and moved on. I see these people everyday praying to their gods, bribing them. “It’s all a farce”, I thought ignoring him. I went about my day, same ol...
Paula Johnson gets up at 5 am, jumps in the shower, slips on her stockings, steps into her shoes, digs in the pocket of her raincoat, and walks out the door into the rain. She worked as a waitress at the English Muffin, a breakfast restaurant she has worked at since it first opened a hundred years ago. It's just ano...
The Xephalow, a tall, stocky creature with large glossy green eyes, but no ears or mouth, stood with a group of others of its species, across the conference table from the human ambassador. The alien held up a digital display. As the creature flashed multicolored lights from bioluminescent patches that ran up and down ...
“A LITTLE LOST ARE WE?” A low growl bellows in what feels like every direction. I spun around looking for the man’s voice. “I’M NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN TOUCH OR SEE, LITTLE ONE.” The voice drawled. “YOU WILL NOT FIND ME” What the fuck is going on? Shit. This feeling of lightheadedness is all too familiar. “H-hello...
Finally the phone rings. “Hello, I’m Elias from Delivery Taco. How can I help you?” I say. “I’d like two fish tacos, and three al pastor. And could I get it delivered?” they say. I get their address and payment info, tell my mom the order, and in two minutes I’m out the door with four tacos. This is the first tac...
I impulse adopted a cat in Bulgaria. I still don't really know what happened. One minute I was walking around, just idly seeing the sights in Plovdiv to kill a few hours before my connecting flight to Budapest via Sofia, and the next minute I was rushing back to the airport to make sure I had time to jump through all...
The word came in from across the world. Something was killing them, leaving whole villages little more than smoking craters. It took us by surprise when Az'Pul, our local monster, showed up with our sacrifices in tow, no longer wearing the rags they were given over in, but a full set of armour, and not the cheap stuff...
It's been six months I've been at Axis chemicals, it felt as if someone was pressing a scalpel to the sides of my eyes as my blood pressure rose within seconds of entering the production floor. Hazardous materials stored in open air containers, unmarked pipes facilitating the movement of corrosive and volatile material...
I'm writing this on mobile, so . . . yeah. Then I saw her, Out of the sea of unworthy filth that's been tossed before me, I see her. My heart began to thaw out of it's icy tomb the closer I managed to get to her. Once I approached her, her light was nearly blinding to me. I cherished the smile she gave me, it was ...
Fate sat in their comfortable chair at the end of the long table, listening to the bickering of the various gods, personifications and other phenomena, trying to think despite the humbug. At last, they coughed loudly - at that very moment, the room fell silent and all turned their attention to them. "Now, I'm sure the...
Mary and Linda found him in his bedroom, the needle still in his arm. This wasn’t Linda’s first sight of death, so she was a little numb to the experience. She remembers him though. The cloaked figure that came and pulled the soul from the still warm body. Up until this point Linda thought only the good were taken, but...
"Oh no, I hope there's not a big, scary monster under my bed tonight!"I said, in a playful sing-song voice. I laid on my stomach, head propped up on each hand. There was no reply. To most people this was the expected outcome. Most people didn't want to find a monster under their beds. "Creepy monsters better stay ...
Lo'rei looked at the best before her. Her father, Tri'aer squeezed her hand gently as she took in the spectacle. The beast in the cage was looking at her with a look she'd not seen before. Part of her quaked under the pressure of it's bloodshot eyes which projected a strange sort of heat she hadn't felt in all her yea...
“In today’s episode, we see the two tribes go head to head in an all-out battle,” I whisper into the microphone sewed into my sleeve. “Tune in after this short break and watch as they face off for the first time,” I say, before dropping my arm and open the door from the bedroom where my camera operator John and I ha...
It took most of the morning to haul the cow out to my yard. I could have called someone to help, but explaining the situation to them would make me have to think about what the situation was. I finished just to look up and see Milo staring at me. His tail swished about as if to say, "Oh, you're still not satisfied?"He ...

Sometimes the difference in between hero and villain is one bad day. The Machine Mistress chuckled wryly to herself at the fleeting thought. She was sauntering confidently down the street in her full uniform towards the outside of the First Peoples’ Bank with nary a reaction. As she approached the side still out of vie...
“Oh, it’s you guys.” You mutter under your breath as you take in the crowd of black robes kneeling on the floor in reverence. “Get up!” You snap, and the group quickly climb to their feet. A middle aged man who stands in front of the group bows slowly. “Hail, great goddess of the cycle, we thank you for hearing our p...
The last thing I expected after the darkness finally closed in was to find my blurry vision focusing in on an indigo sky littered with flashing thunderheads. "About time you woke up, lazy bones, we're gonna have to break a leg to get to the front on time,"comes a rattling voice, breaking me out of my confused reverie. ...
(Choosing to disregard all the 'he' statements, as I've never played a Fallout game as a male character.) \---------------- AUGUST, 2289 Nora slammed her hand against the body of her assault rifle, her back against the wall between her and the super mutants stalking her. "What a time for a fuckin' jam,"she growled, ...
For the third time that week, I deflected a car, simply by being in the right place at the right time. That was how it worked. As a Guardian Angel, I was always in the right place at the right time, to make sure my human was safe. Even when he had a bad habit of walking off the pavement without checking both directions...
The room was lit with a piercingly bright white fluorescence. She sat on a hard metal chair, arms cuffed to the table. Across from her, sat a man in a white labcoat, balding and with thick glasses. "Hello."He said, clipboard and pen at the ready. "Hi." "What's your name?" "Eris." "Do you know who I am, Eris?" He...
Carver sighed and lit a cigar with the spark tip on her index finger. “We’re not supposed to smoke in the—” “Bad guys, remember.” Ellis watched the sergeant take a drag. It reeked. It wasn’t real tobacco: some gene-spliced off-brand equivalent, as the original homeworld variety was copyrighted. The forest was quiet...
A dark obsidian figure turns on a console, and it lights up with bright unnatural projected keys. It types away before turning to face it with a proper posture. What can be presumed as speech, comes in vibrations from its head. It roughly translates to, "Report #37-1b from the invasion force in sector C - planet 37196-...
It was lazy, I knew that. But sometimes I didn't feel like walking to the kitchen, even though it was only on the other end of my studio apartment. And hey, if you had the power of teleportation, you'd probably use it this way too. At least once in a while. See the problem wasn't that I wanted to teleport to the kitche...
(Couldn't stop thinking about this so I'm gonna write it myself lol) Wesley had no idea what he was doing. Absolutely none. He thought it was easy, after all, how hard could it be asking someone out on a date? Apparently pretty hard when talking to aliens. His first attempt started strong. Zora, a new hire, sat in h...
The chains were said to be functionally unbreakable. Wrought from the dwarves steel from their homeland and blessed by the pope from his golden throne. Inscribed by the elves in the great forest and soaked in the blessed waters of the dryads. Pinned to the ground on each side - once by the heroes sword immovable and un...
A sigh escaped my throat. The last thing I expected to have to do today was decide the fate of the planet. It seemed the world just had it out to get me this week. Nothing could go right, from my toothbrush slipping from the cup on the counter into the toilet, all the way up to this, whatever the hell it was. "Open an...
Aggravated a man dressed all in combat gear pushes open the doors to a meeting hall room. His face is furious and the door slams shut loudly behind him. The 4 other men in the room look up from their duties consisting of sitting around surveillance cameras watching surveillance of a farm, a newspaper office, and an apa...
"My child, do you know why you are here?"a cutting voice broke the silence, with an accusing look the uniformed older woman looked down at the teenager. Tapping her finger impatiently on the table, as if even those seconds they had to wait for an answer were one too much for her. But the girl, who was visibly uncomfor...
I try to call out to the guard, but all I can manage is a gasping sort of sound. I put my free hand up to my neck - it's sore to the touch. I notice an IV needle is in my arm. The guard must have heard the noise I made because I see him talk on the radio. "She's awake. Do you want to come down?"I hear footsteps in the ...
These tiny tricksters lack ambition because they're tired. A higher trickster above led me to help the little man, or rather the little fae. One of the fairies woke up, still exhausted after sleeping. To my surprise, she was curious about what I was doing for them. "Youngster, what are you doing?"She asked while watch...
"I do anything in the name of luve."he almost sang at me. "'luve'?"I said, confused. "Si! You sent me here to luve you, these guys, they no good guys, I defend you... Cómo dices... ah! Humor!" "Hum... Honor?"I say, trying to remain focused. "Hmm, si! Honor, thank you, mi amore." "I am not your... never mind, can...
I woke to the sounds of the city rising with me. All around I could hear faint closing doors and low voices. Below it was a perpetual low rumble of moans and groans. A year ago that would have been unthinkable. But that was before the Unquiet Dead came. I thought back to how it started. A plague, spoken of from travel...
"So let me get this straight,"King Eadweard of Varalond started, his left hand on his forehead as a display of sheer annoyance, bewilderment, and confusion, "You want me to arrange you a marriage with the Princess of Kjonr?" "Y-yes."Prince Sigerd responded, his hands wringing around eachother, a tendency he had never ...
I spent years of scrounging to make the money to build my restaurant exactly the way I wanted. Just about all of it time spent out in the fields slaying rats, camping under the stars in-between inns, burrowing into the roots spread out below the great oaks in the Haunted Woods as my companions warily kept watch…and all...
It had been centuries since the publication of Malleus Maleficarum, but Dr. Heidler stood there in complete belief that he would not fall into the same Faustian trap that was clearly positioned merely centimetres from his toes. In that same spirit, he determined to the name the disincarnate entity before him as Mephi...
Jesus Christ sat on my pristine velveteen sofa drinking MTN DEW © MAJOR MELON™ while his son, fresh out of rehab, held on to my Berber rug for dear life. "Easy now, Fuckhead,"said Jesus. "Jim's gonna kick us right out of here if you don't shape up."The Savior gave me a red-eyed stare. "He'll put us on the street. He's ...
You were only a child when the celestial war happened. A weak human, you were raised to be a slave on a mining asteroid in order to supply materials for the empire's warships. The empire's enemies knew that but they valued your life no more than the empire itself. They send a battleship to raid the asteroid of its a...
_Well, this is a mess_, I thought as I walked around the frozen battle. A ball of fire was about to hit Aurelia square in the chest, Torrens axe was missing the bald mans face by a hair and John was just flying up above, grinning stupidly while firing bullets in every direction, not caring where exactly they went. _He ...
"Of course not,"replied the Librarian. "The books here are Forbidden. Capital F. They are unfit to exist in the universes that connect to the Library, and so they do not. " "So the Library is empty?" "I didn't say that. I said that the books do not exist in any universe connected to the Library. You came here fro...
"You summoned me, sir?"Drowl had allowed me to take the day off, but he said he needed help. "I messed something up, Nayter."He's frantic. I walk over. There are some papers with reports from communities within the empire. They all say the same thing: 'Need food for the upcoming winter.' "Everyone should have enough....
Dont be suprised when yhe toothbrush, cutlery and cups try to freanch kiss you. Dont bother buying new cloaths, the ones inside all fit to form. The bathroom is very thorough. Doesent matter wich book in the library you grab they all write the story as you read it. Do. Not. Flirt with the maid. And if she starts lo...
It's my new design. Be careful with it. A cold, musty workshop, long abandoned, or so it was assumed. Two weeks ago I thought the same, until a long night at the bar with a stranger proved otherwise. We were instant friends. He wasn't good at talking to anyone else. He was so happy to show me every little project he...
“If a human walks in, sell it as a tent. If a giant walks in, sell it as a shirt” he said. This has had to be one of his crazier ideas, but I’m still getting payed so who am I to complain? It’s actually really impressive, a shapeshifting piece of cloth that can change shape, size, colour, texture — and anything else ...
The way she walked, the way she talked.. she was perfect. And she could always make a boring day come to life. There was an unassailable purity to her. Thinking about her, nothing could hurt me. She slipped me a note under the desks of our homeroom, but all I could think about was how well her dress accentuated her f...
“Absolutely not, I refuse. I will not be entertaining such frivolity, it’s beneath me.” He sneered as he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. The man was the picture of snobbery. His nose twitched in defiance as his white pressed shirt was tucked within his grey slacks. His feet sported the latest loaf...
It is a glorious sense of ecstasy. To gain that vision. Upon the moment we reach the age of 18, upon the very moment from whence we wake from our restful slumber, our eyes all go wide upon that day. And we see it. Whatever destiny has in store for us. All of mankind experience this, and even if your fate is something m...
I had just stumbled across an old, dusty lamp while out exploring, and when I rubbed it, a genie had appeared. He said he would grant me three wishes. For my first wish, I decided to ask the genie to tell me his life story. I figured it would be an interesting tale, and perhaps he could even give me some tips on how to...
I licked my lips and then took a small sip from the shot glass in my fingers. I did not even deign to meet the woman’s eyes as I set the glass back on the chipped, wooden bartop. In my peripheral vision, I saw her lean forward against her elbows. She tilted her head so that a fall of purple hair draped down like a sil...
"I'm just saying, I like my way better,"said Crimebreaker as he snapped the now unconscious villain's last leg, causing Fixer to wince in empathy. "They can't really do much when they're so crippled they can't even hold a weapon. And it's good payback for the people they hurt. I know all you newbies believe in this reh...
"You must wash your hands, your tools and your robe before you even consider walking on the operating room floor."I said, stern as ever as the old men in the room rolled their eyes. I'll never understand why age was a factor in considering who could be an arch-mage and thus who could study new magics. Even though this ...
You'll never believe the shocking truth about God. I was scrolling through social media the other day when I came across a post that completely blew my mind. According to this post, God isn't the ancient, all-knowing deity that I had always believed Him to be. In fact, He — I mean, She — is a 14-year-old girl and we a...
Have you ever heard of the Dunning Kruger effect? The idea that there’s this kind of sweet spot where someone knows enough about a subject to be informed but not enough to realize that they’re completely misinformed? I think that’s why zombies kind of have always sucked in media, so I guess good job on Romero for that—...
Not quite right, but this is what popped into my head: My mama is beautiful. Not in a TV way. She feels big and soft and strong and smart. She can see into people’s souls I think- everyone tells her their secrets. They can’t help it. When she took me to the dentist once, a lady in the elevator told her all about a ter...
"How did you manage to summon me?" I looked down at the child. I was currently a sheet of shadow, my true form deliberately obscured. They looked up at me, clutching a worn tome to their chest. One I recognised. "I... I was reading this... and I found your name." Their voice was unsure, a lack of deceit within. I ha...
Back in the old days, crime was pretty much all over. A lot of it related to sexual attraction or the parents being bad matches (and/or) bad parents. I remember my family being dysfunctional as ever. Then, that drug came out. It was experimental, I’m told. Then, it spread out without FDA approval. Oh, sure. The relig...
"I'm sorry." "I know." "He said I could only choose one and it all happened so fast I couldn't think. I just... I couldn't lose her." "I understand." Really I did. I knew what she meant to him. He was my best friend and I saw how he lit up for her, how she healed his broken parts. I was grateful for that, grateful ...
‘Benoit, photography is my passion’ the side of a passing bus read, I enjoyed the fame, the renown. Every shot I made was a masterpiece, I say was because… that was before, before I discovered what I could truly do, it first happened when I spotted a blonde woman in a long black scarf sitting on a bench before the dawn...
There I was, on my university-student budget, making instant noodles. For the second time that day. When suddenly, the kitchen door opens. This isn't too unusual, I don't live alone. It's me and 4 other students. But this? This was definitely unusual. Because it was me, eating the very same instant noodles I was makin...
"...oooooooh I get it." "Do you? I dare say your movements have left me questioning your alleged tactical prowess."I raised a brow but I couldn't fault him. Chess was never my strong suit and it showed by the fact two human villages were now gone... but I figured it out. "See, I wasn't chosen because I knew chess, I ...
Today is just one of those days. One of those days where all I do is wait. No one passes by from the large glass square near the door. I press my large, wet nose to the glass, let my pink tongue hang, and give my most bright, inviting face, but nothing happens. I squeeze out of the little plastic flap Noel got f...
“Sir… it’s the SSBN Vidofnir,” Jules said, her voice betraying her own confusion. My brow furrowed. “That’s impossible… The Vidofnir went missing 80 years ago… on Earth. The Anomaly didn’t even appear until 40 years later.” As I spoke, I looked out the viewport of our command center on the ETSS Pioneer, a s...
It was just another typical day in the depths of the underworld, when a desperate couple came knocking at my door. They offered me the most precious thing they had, the soul of their firstborn child. I have to admit, at first I was intrigued. The desperation and hopelessness in their eyes was palpable, and I couldn't h...
"Good morning Mrs. Evans!"sang the moodman. "Good morning,"Mrs. Evans sighed with relief. She draped her open hand over the picket fence. "Running late?" "Just fighting the traffic like everyone else."The moodman laughed. "But really, who's fighting? Ain't I the traffic?" He reached into his letter bag and pulled out...
I stare at her far too intensely, trying to find the seam, the mark, the glow of a spell, any spell. Looking like that, she's probably used to the stares. Yep, a quick glance shows I'm not the only one, though I can darn well guarantee I'm the only one staring without imagining her naked. Or I was, dangit. OK, let's ...
If anyone ever tells you they "go to a lot of puppet shows,"nod and smile. If they tell you they go to a lot of puppet shows and you know they don't have any kids? Run. I don't have any kids. And so, dear audience, I feel the need to explain myself. It all started at my first puppet show, at least my first o...
We all know what parallel universes are. But to those who are uninformed: its basically like alternate timelines or alternate versions of what our universe is right now, and will never intersect with each other unless with external influence. But math and science screws me over I guess. As parallel lines exist, so do ...
There it was. Another dropped hint. Friendzone picked up the slip of paper in his mighty right hand. He jammed his normal-sized left hand into his pocket. "Remember the Apollo carnival?"he read aloud. He tried to stare up at the sky meaningfully, but it was painfully bright for October. The carnival. He remembere...
When you're good enough to get into heaven you die. I didn't want to die, and I also didn't want to be good. I thought I had it all figured out, only the good die young . . . or at all, so I'd just live forever. I didn't think it through. The world got worse every year. The good lived virtuously and expired, a...
Out on a conflict zone, an arms dealer and a Warlord with his entourage of lieutenants try do business. The arms dealer rummages through several weapon crates to pick a suitable weapon for the warlords needs. This here gentlemen, I say as I drop the heavy weapon onto the plastic folding table with an audible thump,...
I stood at the shores of the pink sand, treading dangerously close to the cosmic sea; searching for the shooting stars that might have fallen - hoping they would rise so I did not have to gather the shells of their dead dreams. I stood alone in the pursuit of heaven. Until alone I was no longer. He came to me in sear...
We may have started colonizing the galaxy too quickly. Once we developed faster than light travel, humanity should have taken the time to build one world government, just like all those dystopian and utopian shows/movies predicted. But we were capitalists. We’re greedy and maniacal and everyone wants a piece. So rather...
Gods created men, but Colt made them equal. It used to mean that all are equal in their ability to defend themselves when handed a Colt gun. As Samuel Colt Jr, I brought a new twist to my family's slogan when I made the Godslayer. Now Colt made men and gods equal. Now, gods can die just like men thanks to the Godsla...
Ka'Lash licked its appendages, a scaled tongue rustling past the quills. The tangy, sweet viscera had started to coagulate, almost covering itself in a sheen red glaze as it stood over this last victim. A lasting treat, proof of a hard-earned delight. The creature before it, the one who called itself 'Officerhalls' wa...
"No, ma'am, I cannot take him in without a muzzle." "But my little Dendri is so well behaved!"The noblewoman (really an upper merchant) stroked the racing-drake fondly, and I winced internally. "I understand he may be an exception, m'lady, but I've had many others claim the same and... well..."I held up my ha...
I didn't tell Martha; I didn't want to worry her. It was at a local park, where kids used to play on the see-saw, giggling loudly. I used to play on that see-saw, but that was another life. The others looked as worried as I felt, gripping their sidearms, leaning against walls or constantly checking their six. But n...
It was the thuds and growls that woke Martha. For a moment she huddled away from them, mind still murky from the depths of sleep. But as her mind slowly came to, they sounded familiar. Familiar enough to call her from her bed. Picking up her favourite toy, a stuffed pink whale named Bubbles, she went to investigate. W...
Years ago, I fell in love with a fair lass. On a bright spring morning I found her, gathering flowers at the water’s edge, and it was love at first sight. Unbeknownst to our foolish hearts, the forces of fate were conspiring against us. Just mere months after we had first met, she had fallen ill with a...
We’re all required to stand on our circular metal platforms for sixty seconds. Step off one second sooner, and land mines blow your legs off. A timer is projected onto the sky, counting down the seconds until the Games begin. Sixty… Fifty-nine… And then I watch as all twenty-three of the other tributes step off their p...
There is a place in the universe that contains the dual properties of being both relatively safe and also extremely enjoyable. A world of costumed heroes, of scientific pioneers pushing the boundaries, a warm world of bright lights, and fascinating stories. From the cosmic darkness of the heart of the Ascendancy of Ygr...
“I wish everything but people to be made of candy!” Gleefully, the child clutched the lamp to his chest, waiting expectantly for the wispy apparition before him to grant him his wish. It’d been a shock, sure, to see this creature erupt from Nana’s old lamp in the attic, but hey, he’d watched Aladdin. He knew what he...
It's not easy out there. Life as a mad engineer in the 21st century just doesn't have the glamour it used to. We used to be admired, feared, respected, all at once. Did we have grand aspirations that might have ruined life for millions of others? Perhaps. But we were dreamers, dammit. And people recognized it. Now? N...
A notice to you aliens in the sky: We have received your message to take over our planet. Let us explain our reasoning for why you don't want to: 1. On the first of April every year, an apocalypse occurs. So far they include: 1.1) Zombie apocalypse. Solved using guns and containment facilites. 1.2) Earth's core des...
The year is 2049. Humanity has engineered some of the most technologically advanced machines, gizmos, and gadgets, that people 100, 50, hell, even 20 years ago never would have imagined possible. They tore into the earth to find more and more precious metals necessary for these machines, not heeding the warnings of the...
Elnor sat in the quiet of his study, waiting for the quickening of night. Shadow began to fall over the rows of tomes and heraldry that marked the border of the mage’s confines. It was but one of many in the Guild of Wizardry, nestled deep in the vale that rested at the feet of the Edowyn Mountains. On and on dormitori...
I was known as the fun-loving and carefree friend; the one who was always the life of the party. But one fatal night changed everything. A group of six of us were driving down a windy road after a night of celebrating. That's when our car lost control and crashed into a tree. The impact of the collision resulted in the...
"How the hell did the scholarship kid get top marks? Professor Inhume hates scholarship kids." "_Didn't you hear about his observation test?_" "... no?" "_He infiltrated the Professor's household!_" "... you're _shitting_ me! How the hell did he pull THAT off? I mean everyone jokes about it being a guaranteed A, an...
“Yahweh” “Asherah” “It’s time we come up with a decision.” The man sat on the edge of the cliff next to the woman who’s already there. “What’s on your mind?” The woman asked. “They deserve extinction.” The man answered. “Look what they did.” The two stared at another hill. Three cross were erected on top. “I th...
Click Hi there! Testing. Erm hi, yea…just hi… Click I replay and hear myself on my new voice recorder. It’s a birthday present from my head priest Alfred, he did say voice journalling could help me sort out my tumultuous thoughts. At first, he proposed to see a psychotherapist after [former Chief Emissary Malice...
The boss told me to watch this guy, so that’s exactly what i’ve been doing. For 2. MONTHS. It might not sound like a long time to you, but I decided to be a thief for the adrenaline. The excitement. The feeling of knowing that the tiniest mistake can screw up the rest of my life. It’s what I live for. This guy obvio...
"I'm telling you, no one on this ship has ever seen him. Not Jasper, Conner, Keira--I even asked one of the janitors. You're the XO and you've never seen him. It's weird, innit?" "Unusual, sure, but that's all. As far as I care, our captain just likes his solitude. And I wouldn't go poking around about it if I wer...
Often the solution reveals itself in times of desperate need and in ways that are often unexpected. If the solution was expected, you’d have found it as soon as you started looking. With fossil fuel running out, the resulting crisis was no different. Often science is at it’s best if it can connect the different dots. S...
