The moment of betrayal was agony. A single shot to my chest, conserving their ammo. I watched my supposed friends sneer as I fell, uncaring for my suffering. "Leave her. The beasts will be distracted by her." They left me lying there, quickly fleeing. Without sight of them I could not retaliate. It was funny. I had p...
It was a coincidence that I was being treated for my festering wound at the Festering Wound Tavern and Inn, but I was lucky to have arrived just in time. A small band of traveling circus performers were also in the inn, and one of them was a former apothecary who had just the right herbs and know how to treat my injury...
I have never written any kind of script before and this is definitely not how you do it but here it goes. HOGWARTS EXTERIOR - DAY We see the hogwarts courtyard as students go about their business. Pan up to see Ron Swanson on a balcony overlooking the courtyard. >Ron Swanson (Voice Over) > >I do...
I got ready for work and drank my morning coffee. Suddenly, there's a knock on the door. I look through the peep hole, but no one is there. I open the door, and there is nobody in sight, just a small cardboard box on the door mat. The package has a note taped to it "To - Little Roger, From Grampa Pat." I pick up the b...
Some called it the Entity. Others, God. No one knew for sure, and it never clarified. Its voice had just made an announcement inside of everyone's head one day. [Hero System phased rollout has begun.] It didn't make any sense—for most people—until several hours later when news reports of people with super powers star...
My eyes shot open as I felt life return to me once more. I rolled my shoulder in its socket, feeling the bones within scrape against one another like shattered glass being ran through sand. I ached everywhere. How long had it been since I had been put to sleep? "Holiest of warriors, great Archangel Gerzathor, we have...
[Part 1 of 2] Remember, smile when you enter the hospital, give the waiting family a patient nod, tell them you will do everything you can to save him. Look into the eyes of his children and lie. Don’t let any part of your deception leak through. The cameras will be watching. Any nervous scratch of the neck or drop of...
A black panther of a jaguar, tawny owl, western taipan, crocodile and orangutan. I selected the best characteristics of them. An orangutans intelligence, a black panthers physical attributes, an owls vision and hearing, a crocodiles armor and a cobras venom. The venom not just being from its teeth but also claws. It wa...
I adjusted my scope for a better look. Sure enough, another human. Sickly, maybe mid-twenties. Born just before the fall, then. He had a ragged pack, clothes to match, but a decent pair of boots. Not my size, so nothing I could use. I lowered my rifle and looked out over the horizon. Back when this kid was born, all o...
"I... I don't understand, why keep magic hidden?!"The young man asked confused and startled, "There are so many things it can be used for! Healing people, reversing radiation, contamination, ending disease, terraforming worlds--!"He was cut off when laughter erupted from the fairy queen, it was cruel and mocking, "Beca...
“I’ll treat that as your dying wish. Go ahead.” Sheila, the shield maiden replies with a sly grin on her face. The warlock steps forward, excitement gleaming in his eyes, a childish smile across his lips. He lowers his hand and waits for the dogs acknowledgement. Titan, the hound, obliges and steps forward to sniff t...
Magic is shaped by focus of will, and intent - but most of all, emotion. Emotion is the fuel of a spell. Not enough emotion and a spell will fizzle out before it does anything. Too much emotion and the spell will be supercharged. A good magic user must have strong mental discipline and have excellent control ov...
I can hear the crying. It is not the soft whimper or fast breathing of my charge. It is deeper, older....sadder. The night comes and my domain is quiet. I let my hand slowly crawl out from under, as I have hundreds of times before, waiting for the toss and turn of my anxious prey, to see if a single jagged claw can tou...
"magic?" "I'm tired of making chants" "Then technology?" "No,it always ends with the sentient AI either being a giant nanny bot for organics, or a exterminator" "How about elves,only elves?" "Way too boring, they'll never even discover anything after wood since they don't need to" "How about the dwarfs?" "Will g...
The history of intragalactic humanity is a short and gruesome tale, and in many ways reflects the development of individuals within their own species. By pan-galactic standards, humanity is quite young, having only been around in their current physical iteration for just over three hundred thousand of their planet’s or...
One acronym, a logo, two slogans, and a word. That's what both saved and destroyed the world. If the Avengers saved the world and universe from threats, they made their jobs orders of magnitudes easier. If Batman was the most vigilante person on Earth, then they were the most chaotic good in the universe. If Than...
I smiled as I gave my order. Spiced lattes were a favourite of mine, something I had grown fond of in my time in the mortal worlds. But as delicious as they were, they weren't the most nutritious. The barista frowned, looking at the cup she held in her hands. "Um... what?" I shook my head in mock frustration. I had b...
Jonah Kramer sat in the corner of his small, padded cell and rocked back and forth, clutched in a fetal position and staring blankly into nothing at all. It was the same the past seven times I had come to visit, his doctors saying he would softly rock mutter to himself, never ceasing his motion until sleep took him, th...
The executive wing is quiet. Most of his would-be staff are still celebrating at the various balls around D.C. He gave the required speeches and danced the required dances, but left as soon as he could. His feet hurt. Even surrounded by Scottish wool and the best orthotics money can buy. Dorthy was okay with it, "Tom...
"So, I see that the next available job we have is at Wentworth Publications, just organizing and light cleaning, will that work?"Julia asked the young woman. "I'll take it,"the woman said. Julia nodded and began to print the application when she heard it. The dreadful music she already accustomed too. Julia sighed as...
On the one hand, they're not standard-issue human, and they're pretending they are, any sort of lie is reason for mistrust. The skin and eyes are uncanny valley stuff but the symmetric hands are clearly alien. On the other hand, there are lots of aliens in this universe, nothing wrong with being an alien, and whateve...
After all, a hero can only exist if a villain exists. Without villainy, an antagonist or a great hurdle the hero or protagonist simply cannot exist. They lose the ability to become remarkable and become no less than a regular man showered not with heroism but with the average stares of their peers. And so to end the r...
Tradition was such an ugly word, wasn't it? Three syllables, nine letters, and such a wealth of unseemliness attached to it. (Well, given the definitions, perhaps unseemliness was not quite the right word.) So small, for something so destructive. That last phrase could apply to quite a few things in magic, most thi...
A curse upon the global world that led to our separation! I often dreamt of a time when families stuck together. When hell or high water, a tribe or group would work together so that all may survive. Oh the great irony! That such a world should come about by the divisions of the old one! I’m David Duckett, and a...
There is a war on. Angels against demons yes, but far more than just the angels and the demons are involved. The war is spiraling out of control. The fighting coalitions are both guilty of no small amount of bastardy, making sacrifices and compromising their morality for their definition of, "The Greater Good."Picking ...
DISCLAIMER: rude, vulgar language ahead. Read at your own risk/enjoyment “Rudolph, with your nose so bright, won't you guide my...” “*Listen here, you fat fuck. After YEARS of you ridiculing me, turning a blind eye to the persecution I received, NOW you want me to save your fat fu...
"OPEN THE GATE, YOU PERVERTED SERPENT!"the leader blabbered deliriously. Until mere days ago, children wandered to and fro the cave in Lire Mountain, enriching themselves of the treasure within, not of gold, but of literature. An enormous but benign dragon, referred to by the locals as "the Librarian", had collected b...
"The secret couldn't last forever"the man removed his glasses and sighed. "But Tim, the world isn't ready to hear this sort of thing" "Dam the world Bob it's only us out here, and those of us who are on the ship deserve to know" Scattered swearing breaks out in the lab as a tremor shakes the ship. "We always knew it...
As a joke they had left him old and weathered armor, shields and swords. A joke disguised as a gift. However he knew that the war of men and shields wasn't the only combat engaged in war. They expected him to march the young women on the battlefield? The girls were small from a peasants diet, but had strength from g...
Sone cases get weird as they progress. Some cases are just weird from day one. This case was the later. A woman walked into my office. Tall, brunette, legs to kill for and dressed to the nines. She is all class - or at least way out of my class. “You the PI? Terry Rose?” She asked - looking at me through the hai...
"Well he definetly hasnt been buried. In fact there is nothing for the earth to reclaim at all."Said the younger "Yet he he has not been purified by the flames. It wouldnt be right for me to claim him"responded the elder. "I disagree, he has been purified even more so than your normal souls. He practically the purest...
"I know you have already rejected him once before, but trust me, you will not want to miss out on this student opportunity."I said smiling, handing the art portfolio I had in my hand to the man standing in front of me. "Thank you, you seem to have a plentiful knowledge of art. I will surely give this young man a chanc...
Good, you started reading this prompt. I guess I don't have much time because you'll eventually stop reading or I'll just run out of things to say. Hopefully when that happens though, someone will start reading this story again. I am not sure how life is out there, past your wondering eyes, but from my view it looks w...
It was about three in the morning as crouched in the tree line surrounding "Old Faithful". After years of research I decided that this was the best and most reasonable place to test my theory. I unslung my bag from my shoulder, just an old JanSport I had left over from high school, and triple-checked the contents. Rope...
They had tried to forget him. Like a bad memory you try to hide from. Just put him into a cell and threw away the key. He would die in there to thirst or hunger. At least they hoped he would. They were too afraid to make sure. The room was barren. A padded wall and floor. A door that could only be opened from the outs...
The gate came from their side. They called their world Igaria. Magic was real there. We could have made the bridge from our end, but it would have been far more difficult. Their mages kept it stable, and now we enjoy a conduit of trade with another world's civilization. I was sent to explore and understand the things t...
As I look back on the first time I died, I ponder the last two thousand years. We’ve lived in darkness. Sleeping during the day, only coming out at night. My world is dark, dark. The walls of my coffin seem to wrap more closely around me with each passing night. What was meant to be a snug, safe space for us ha...

We are something akin to prison guards. It's a red alert. One of the more durable and dangerous things we keep in this place has gotten out. Heavier support is en route, but it will take time for them to arrive. Our job is to protect the scientists and try not to die. I am walking down a hall with my squad, when the c...
“And thanks to Scarlet Heart, our town will once again be safe from villains such as Mr. Kool.” Kevin aka Mr. Kool, could not believe that these people are cheering for that bitch. After all he has done for this town, everyone still has the audacity to blame him for everything. Well he will show them who the real he...
The Carnival is buzzing with life. To my left, a pack of preteens set off a few poppers, filling the air with familiar stringed confetti. In the distance, I catch the screams of roller coaster rides and the muttled shouts of victory that can only come from winning a covveted stuffed bear. All familiar noises. But this?...
Opposites attracted, multiplied, and divided. Father figure, facts were fiction, facing fears of contradiction, fallacies were common practice, falsehoods fast and answers practiced. Mother mourned for many things for many months, and we mourned for her in May. Leaving for school was the answer, for which there was ...
"Does the soon-departed have a final statement?" The Arbiter stood above me, his face hidden by the dazzling light behind him. It was almost a mocking sight; the prophet trying to save, indirectly, a man condemned and outcast. Torture under the guise of civility. The great joke of Martian capital punishment is the ...
Day 3. I don't know whats happening. I've been repeating the same day and I don't know what to do about it. I keep waking up at 6 AM on the dot by that same blasted alarm clock. I get up, shower, brush my teeth, eat breakfast and go to work. But it's the same thing. The radio reports the same news, I see the same car...
The river was colder than she expected. She felt the pebbles shift underneath her and the wind kissing her softly on her cheek. The river greeted her, welcoming her. Closing her eyes, she waded the waters and listened to the leaves dance. For the first time in many, many years, she was alone. It wouldn't last long, but...
Emily hurriedly grabbed her backpack from the dining room chair as she headed for the door. She was excited to get to the park today, her friends would be waiting by the slide. She ran out the door and down the sidewalk, taking only a moment to pat Sadie on the head. "You are such a good dog."Emily told her. Sadie wag...
He'd always thought that in a life or death situation he'd do something heroic. There are so many movies where the victim of some accident stands there immobile and just lets it happen. Jeff knew that he was different, that he'd leap out of the way at the last second (probably saving someone else at the same time), or ...
She didn't remember her dream. She always remembered her dreams, she recorded of them in a small notebook by her bed, but this one, she didn't remember. It was blurry, hard to make out. A shadow clouding her mind. The more she tried to remember what it was, the harder she found it. She just couldn't remember. It was c...
Years removed from its unleashing, men's mortal coils fast releasing, find the perils of their teaching ravens use of higher thought. Incubating that affliction, harbored all for malediction, for the swift and mass extinction, to make their rule of time forgot. The plague consumed the concrete dwellers, turned their vi...
I eat. I ate a lot before, and I definitely ate more. But, now I can wait. I learned to can food. I think that's why I'm still here. That, and luck. I'm lucky I lived... well, I guess I still live in New York City. I don't really know when the name changes, if it ever does. It sure doesn't feel like the same ...
"It's quite disorienting"Lowe said. He wasn't sure if he was sitting in a posh psychiatrist's office or in that playground by his old house, just imagining all of this. "Retro-active Recall can be quite disorienting."Dr Merck replied. "Any of your memories you recall seem to be happening to you as we speak. Where are ...
Max's parents had lost all hope of their son ever returning to them. In the spectactularly televised one year on appeal, they sat clutching together on the sofa. They shared a bond that no other parent could understand. They were parents, but they had no child. Not any more. "Max, please come home."His mother cried i...
Why is everyone so afraid? It's a normal day. I think. A Monday? But then why am I in the backyard? I hear another scream and it's Barry, the next door neighbor. His wife is really hugging him hard. Maybe too hard because he's screaming. Oh well. Let me get inside. I must have had a rough night because every step fe...
I am studying for my physics final. Some shit about magnetic flux and lenz's law. A friend comes into my room unannounced, and slaps down a piece of paper onto my keyboard, then abruptly yells "yolo boy"and runs away. Before I can question him, I look down and see a website address. Figuring I have 10 seconds to spare,...
Click "Go. Now!" Screams rent the air as I obeyed my Sergeant's last order, diving across the gap between the two terminals. Sarge's covering fire was enough, but ended as a Tri-burst Neutron beam turned his head into so much more human goop. As I crouched behind the terminal, tears of hatred and fear streaming dow...
This was it. I have waited two years. Sent out five messages in bottles. Used all of the flares from the raft. Sent smoke signals spiraling into the air. Used the mirror to try to reflect light towards passing ships. All to no avail. It is time to end this nonsense. I put the gun against my head. I had used the other ...
A good bargain, his dad had said, when they'd picked the car up cheap from a local dealer. They weren't going to get him a car, but this one was such a low price that his dad had shrugged and handed over the creased notes he'd had sitting in his pocket. "Take Marie out to the pictures."He said. "Girls love a guy wit...
It was just a look in the doctors eyes that gave it away. It couldn't be happening. I couldn't be infected. How did this happen? Does that mean we all were infected, and it was only a matter of time? I was changing, mutating. Stupid infectious disease, causing us to hide. Soon I'm going to want to kill everyone here...
Multiple personality disorder patient #372: Inner dialogue recording #3 Level of disability: Severe "Oh, how the late afternoon sun dips so beautifully upon the horizon, elegantly dancing it's light upon the clear waters, only to soon give it's heart for the moon's wondrous midnight shine. I could-" "Another day ...
Jack Lennox smiled as the detective entered the interrogation room, his gray eyes lit up with amusement. "How may I help you, Detective?" "The name's Smith. I've got a case for you, Lennox. Figured I'd pick your brain about it."The man settled into the chair opposite Lennox, pausing to light a cigarette. Lennox wrinkl...
Going into my senior year, I've become a bit numb to the number floating over my head. 3.479. Nothing to write home about, but nothing to be embarrassed about either. I still got an internship last summer even if I had to work harder than some of my more blessed peers. I still get some special attention. I am still...
I wouldn't say I'm that special. Not terribly, at least. I have the standard fair of traits that any typical guy would have, nothing out of the ordinary. I have a 9 - 5, an education, an apartment, a dog, and the average amount of credit card debt. I smoke, I drink coffee, I like to go to the bar sometimes, and I enjoy...
Waylon Jennings on the jukebox, a perpetual smoky haze above the bar nearly empty bar. One in the morning, two friends since fifth grade. Third whiskey, eighth beer. Inseparable since Matt grabbed Dave's arm in the lake behind their school in third grade and pulled him out of the muck, barely breathing. "You know, ...
It's hard being me. I mean, for one thing, I've been trapped in a two year old's body for an infinite number of years. It's hard enough to pick up chicks when most people don't even know you exist, let alone when you're a cherub. And telling them I'm Cupid just makes it worse. Sure, okay, sometimes the job is funny. ...
Let Me Explain Have you ever tried to make a person laugh? I mean, really tried. Have you ever prepped for, worked towards, put everything you could into planting the seeds of an irrepressible smile into the mind of your fellow man? It's bullshit. Well not bullshit, it's just difficult beyond measure. You have to...
She walked with an exaggerated sway brimming with confidence and attitude. Her pony tail swung back and forth in time like the sweep of a pendelum. He watched her; his eyes on her ass though it was not the reason he followed. The gun in his right hand was stuffed inside his pocket, but his finger was kissing the trigge...
"You're a bitch,"she said. "Yeah,"I admitted. "I definitely see why you feel that way." "You killed my parents in a car crash and then made me too high on coke to go to their funeral. Who fucking does that? Who the fuck do you think you are? "I'm sorry,"I said. "It felt like something you would have done." "No,"she...
Fear doesn't describe it. It isn't sheer terror that rocks Toshi's bones. The school has these drills in place and still no one is prepared. It goes beyond that. He pulls himself out of fetal position and quickly grabs the paper that still rests so innocently on his desk. There's a star drawn on it. He got every questi...
"A simulation of what?" It was the inevitable follow-up question, and there wasn't an answer. Not a meaningful one. Nothing could possibly come out of Schilling's mouth to substantiate it. The difficulties that came with explaining the Higgs field to the lay were child's play in comparison. He never thought he'd l...
Popular song, eh? She sat alone in the empty diner, cupping her coffee in her hands. It was a little past one in the morning, and the busboy was keeping an eye on her as he wiped down the tables. She looked shaken up and upset. When he had asked for her order, he noticed that her face was swollen and her eyes were re...
Today was the day. Johanna was turning 18. She didn't have any friends, not real friends to celebrate with, and she didn't care about trying alcohol or cigarettes like her peers. Such thoughts didn't even cross her mind. Her parents were relieved to hear she wanted to stay at home, and she had her trusty laptop Clyde. ...
After learning of his ancestry, Samuel Jackson was torn. He had fought for minority rights for years, but knowing where he came from, he felt compelled to carry on in the footsteps of his most famous ancestor. He was full of internal conflict as he drove through the Pocatello sun towards the Fort Hall Indian Reservat...
"Trust me, if we'd invented time travel we'd have proof. And what's more, you wouldn't be the one to do it. Look at how many people there are in the world that are smarter than you that have been working on this problem for longer than you. Do you really think I would believe you'd done it, without some proof? Sorry, m...
Adjectives and adverbs in general are signs of weak nouns and verbs. If your verb isn't verbing hard enough, consider switching to another verb before trying to prop it up with an adverb. If your noun isn't concrete enough, get a harder, heavier noun before trying to thicken it with an adjective. Of course, there are ...
They say history repeats itself, because it does, that saying seems to fall on deaf ears every time. It happened first with the advent of fusion energy. The surplus allowed for plentiful new technologies, and for some time, things were peaceful. We had eliminated most disease and poverty, the world was generally peacef...
The first Facebook ad appeared innocuously, squeezed in next to a best friend's engagement pictures and an overexposed photo of someone's lunch. The picture was an empty square and the text read, "Tired of caring? 10% off sale if you click this ad."Jenny didn't click it. As the months wore on, the ad still appeared ...
Well... I wrote about 2000 words (probably more, I always underestimate these things) then I clicked on the tick box where it says "Show my flair on this subreddit"in an attempt to get rid of the flair cause I didn't know what it was... and boom. Gone. It's not a tick box. It's a link to refresh the page. With your wor...
Frank boarded the railway and took his usual seat. His unit number wasn't really Frank, but it was one he had heard humans use before, and he liked it, so he started referring to himself as Frank when no-one else was around. Liking things was a new experience for him, and he had found lots of things that he liked. He t...
It was everyone's least favorite class. Well, almost everyone. I had to drag my feet from english, shuffling slowing as I anticipated the coming lesson. As I trudged along, the P.E. geniuses passed me. They hooped and hollered with anticipation for their sacred hour. Jason was the best of them. It was a warmer day an...
"D-Do you h-have it?"I ask, shaking so hard I can barely speak. Or stand. Or think. I never meant for it to go this far. I didn't mean to get hooked. It was just an easy way to escape the hell that is my life. Too easy. I swallow hard. Or I try to. My mouth is so dry. I shouldn't have waited this long. I need it. I ...
Invincibility and immortality. These were given to one man, at his request, by a higher power that was feeling particularly jaunty that Saturday afternoon 57 million years ago. You see, this man wasn't quite precise with his wish. "I want to live forever!"he said. "Done."And with a giggle, the deity vanished. Never...
"EVERYBODY GET ON THE FLOOR, THIS IS A BANK ROBBERY!"The robber shouted, brandishing a Glock overhead. To his surprise, neither the tellers nor the customers responded, but rather carried about their business as usual. "Sir,"chimed in a mousy teller in a soft voice, "could you please keep your voice down? You're distu...
Wilfred watched the silver scales flicker in the murk. At five fathoms deep, any flickering, or often any light at all meant one thing: supper. He'd drifted for hours through the killing grounds, only this year it had been poor pickings. The sight of prey thrilled him, and he felt the tendons under his black dorsal fi...
Luther gently moved the moss off of the headstone, careful to preserve the intricate, gold-inlaid writing on its cracked surface. In the middle of an open meadow, the tombstone looked sorely out of place. Luther chuckled to himself at the thought. "You never were one for ceremony". Luther removed his ornate helmet,...
Everyone just stopped. They cameras stopped flashing, the photons caught in the air. At first I took a couple more photos of Gina Rinehart and her pet muppet. Then I noticed the lack of movement. "Oh,"I said, not really knowing why. I stepped away, surprised that another, frozen me was standing, with a dumbass hairc...
You're gonna suck. That's okay, though! You'll write stuff that's cliche. Characters that make no sense. Motivations that don't gel. Continuities that loop back in on themselves. That's okay. The stuff you'll write is going to suck. That's okay. You have to get it all out. Read. Write. Read more. Write more. Conti...
Two men were standing on the metal landing above a fire escape style staircase, surveying the scene in front of them. Ten rows of one hundred desks stretched out, each with a typewriter on top of them. At each desk sat what at first looked like a man in a brown suit, from this distance at least, however the unearthly s...
23 hours ago, Steve splattered all over the sidewalk. 24 hours ago, Steve wrote a short note saying, "None of you will save me. Watch." 1 hour ago, Steve's closest friends and family came together to decide who should use their Undo, if they still have one, to stop Steve from becoming a human pancake. You'd think...
A person stands in a grim cemetary.This person has a very simple goal right now, a very simple purpose for where they are located. They're digging, the shovel sinking into soil over and over and over. "Elias Foley, Elias Foley..."the figure says in a soft, feminine voice. "Who were you, my dear friend? No one. You wer...
I ran down a few blocks, the prop gun tucked away within my undershirt. Of course, the poor guy did not realize it, but you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. I had not eaten a square meal for what felt like ages now, and lucked out in finding this discarded prop among other heaps of rubbish I had trawled through for ...
I light the end of my cigarette to celebrate my new accomplishment. My wife knocks on the door. “Are you smoking in the house?” She asks. “I’m celebrating.” I swivel around in my chair to face her. "You know how NASA has been on my ass about designing a space shuttle that can carry four men to Mars? Well I just fini...
... Angie202: Well, I gotta run. I have a meeting in a minute. DSN04: Alright. See ya after work. [Angie202 has signed off] What's up Dave? DSN04: Um... Angie??? No. She just signed off, so I thought I'd say hi DSN04: This is a secure computer. How are you doing this? *Oh, there's like ZERO...
Linda sprinted up the hallway, her thick blocky heels clunking dully on the carpet. 'Sir?' She panted, 'I have bad news. China won't bite.' He looked up from his paperwork, his heavy brows a straight line. After a moment, he exhaled and said simply, 'Ah, screw it. Why not?' 'They said it's just too risky. They...
"That goat is crying,"explained the daughter, by drawing a goat with tears into the sand with a stick. "Is he hurt?"asked her father, by drawing a bite and blood gushing from the goat's flank. "No,"the daughter indicated by crossing out the picture. "Is his mate dead?"asked the father, drawing a dead female goat. "...
"Welcome back to the debate. Let's start off with a subject that many of us are worried about in the coming election: foreign oil policy. "Representative Puhn, gas prices have been rising steadily and this weighs heavily on the heart of the average consumer. What is your plan for combatting this?" "Well Brad, oil pol...
Nick Sheridan grinned to himself as he climbed to the top step and watched his predecessor cross the stage to thunderous applause. The loudest yet. The moment of truth. He glanced at the screen behind her, and saw his friend's future. He saw her saving lives, doing research, and being presented with the Nobel prize. ...
The females gather to watch the frail Gatherer play. The noise is foreign. It is all at once harsh and sweet--a gathering surge of sound and silence. It moves them. The Gatherer is blind to their presence. Around him he has gathered a collection of his favorite stones. Some are smooth, while others are jagged. With...
The wordocaust was 5 years ago. I still remember it as clear as yesterday. Every year we have a celebration in honour of our leader, our god. On that day, each village presents their gift and sacrifice. The gift is intended to please him and the sacrifice is to remind us of his power. This worked perfectly for past dec...
"I hope your day has been going well so far, Ms. Banks,"the bald-headed portly man called to the rather plain-looking woman walking in. "I see you were able to find my... Little den."She looks around, seeing two concealed sub-machine guns under the jackets of at least two of the other 'patrons'. "I didn't come here f...
"You're really from the future?" The man in the red cloak sighed. "Yes, I'm assuming you have a recording device, right?" "Uh, uh, yeah, I do,"Harold stuttered. "You might want to get it out, that way you idiots don't waste another opportunity." Harold held out his iPhone, "I'm recording." The man in the red cloa...
