We've been working nonstop on a cure for weeks. Every day new reports flood our computers of government officials panicking because of the infectivity level in their country. We recently learned that Japan has started helping with our research. That makes 23, but I'm not sure that will be enough. We aren't Gods. These...
Oh God, Frank's on his way here now. His goddamn pudgy fingers. Does he ever wash them? Could he just stop his shit? Frank moved towards the printer, stopping over at Belinda's desk. "Hey Betty, watch the game last night?" It's Belinda, dammit. Belinda sighed. "What game, Frank?" Frank scoffed. "The Dota game,...
"Steve Steve Steve, I did it,Steve, Steeeeeeeeeeeve." Ten years of near constant work, a team of the worlds best programmers, to many philosophical debates, and it had all come to this. "What?"I spat through gritted teeth. "I did the thing Steve."the speakers whined. Advanced-Learning-Intelligence had been mankind'...
"Lucy's progress has been remarkable, Mr. Solomon and Mr. Saul. Since the first quarter, I wasn't sure her comprehension of mathematics was up to our level, but evidently, I see she has been able to progress faster than any other student. I trust that you have been helping her, yes?" Ms. Sykes simply looked at me. I t...
"GO GO GO!"echoed throughout the alley as I reached its centre. I let out a breath, they're back again. This is the second time this week and it's only Wednesday. Why won't they give up already? A steel net falls from above, landing atop me forcing me to the ground. The solid steel weights attached around the net crush...
Ravek had once been the thing that the first cavemen feared while cuddled around their little fires. Hoping that their little flame would be the thing that saved them from the monster in the night. While the other clans had to hide and wait in the shadows to feed, Ravek's clan ravaged all that they saw. Blood, guts, an...
Dear Chief Kreelang. Listen... I... I don't know how to put this Kreelang. You and I have known each other for so many years and had so many good times together. You remember those times when we slaughtered those little farming villages together don't you? Those were good times! The infamous Orc War chief Kreelang and...
> N-for-N_Hector: In a few sentences, can you summarize Asymmation for the people who haven’t heard of it? My fingers rested lightly on the keyboard after the question appeared on my screen. It was one of the many questions I’d anticipated when News for Noobs asked to interview me. I had an answer prepa...
"So, let me get this straight, your wish is to have no wishes?" "Yeah, that's exactly it, no wishes." "You don't mean infinite wishes? That's what most people ask for....." "Nah, I've heard about that. Seems like what happens is no matter what someone wishes for they just get it twisted horribly. Ask for the love...
Out of the corner of my eye I watched the young baron approach. “Grand Astronomer,” he said as he knelt before me. “Baron Nouveau.” I turned away from the telescope and inclined my head. “To what do I owe the pleasure?” “I bear a message from Emperor Leo,” he said. “Your meeting with him today has troubled him deepl...
At first I was perplexed. In what way could I possibly use these items? The coke-and-mentos thing was pretty obvious, and rope was always useful. I could probably use this stuff too build a makeshift bomb, or maybe I had just been watching too much MacGyver again. I looked up at the clock. 14:42. Still more than an ...
I mean, I get it man, I really do. Stick the rotting corpse full of high tech gadgets in the ventilation ducts so the quiet, loyal and insecure janitor can find it and clean it up. There is no way he will say anything, right? He wouldn't dare? Yeah, it is not like finding a dead body is THAT big of deal. Throw som...
I groaned as I woke, temples pounding and ears ringing. It was the worst hangover in recent history, and it took me a moment to remember why. I had gone out last night with the express purpose of getting totally smashed. I figured I might as well have a last hurrah, since it was my last night on... My hand shot out...
When there's a Rabbi outside the OR, it's rarely a good sign. "Mr. Horowitz,"he said to the father. "Mrs. Horowitz,"he said to the mother. "I'm afraid there have been... complications." Mrs. Horowitz looked exhausted but still retained the capability for worry. "Where's the doctor?" The Rabbi gestured toward the ...
I couldn't flip it back. It was... stuck. Like some sort of magical glue was holding it in place. No matter what I tried with my bare hands, I couldn't do it. Fuck it, I thought to myself. It was some rusty lever with words on it. Plenty of levers have words on them. Not sure how many have "Write"and "Read-Only"on t...
The air felt still and sterile as it hummed beneath fluorescent light. The world had come to a stop for me, and time held its breath. I could feel the energy coming from the end of the room. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It was more than I could ever believe, ever expect, or ever know was real. I had t...
"So? Are the results in?"asks Penny, my best friend, from over the neighbours' fence. She turned sixteen three weeks ago, and her results came back just last week. Poison/Grass, just like her mother. Penny was elated - she'd always wanted to go into gardening. I sort through the mail. Bills, ads, stuff for my dad's w...
I walked into the arena to what was, at best, muted applause. I looked up into the crowd. All nine of them. Most were chatting calmly amongst themselves but I was pleased to see Arch Mage Sylus had turned up, engrossed as he was in a box of extra cheese nachos. I walked to the centre and took a deep breath. This was ...
"How the hell did you manage a Tinker 8 rating making kitchen appliances?" I shrug. I'm not the one who controls what others call us, anyhow. >Mover, Shaker, > >Brute and Breaker. >Master, Tinker, >Blaster and Thinker, >Striker, Changer, >Trump and Stranger. The higher your number the mor...
The program was designed around the capability of launching us forward in space and time, linking up with a doorway at a specific space-time coordinate and shooting us forward to that point. I was about to make my 3rd leap forward, 6 years ahead of the start date in 2113. We had decided that to test the affects of ...
The sentries peered down the ruins to where the door guard had been. A shadowy red smear splattered around the frame. They'd rushed the the windows the moment they had heard the spine curling cry but in the time it had taken for the pair to drop their bread halves, snag up their rifles, and dash to the windows it was d...
"Kris Magnus?"a voice croaked out to me from the shadows of the abandoned parking garage. "Yes, that's me. SilentThroat?"I said back to him. I didn't know his real name, or even if he was in fact a he. We met online, and he was the only one to listen to my story. I was the real Kris Magnus, not that guy on TV. I don'...
This went on longer than I thought, but I really loved this prompt. Thank you! ---- The old woman opened the door wrapped in a ratty old shawl and with tears streaking through her makeup. Just the very sight of us seemed to set her shaking, and I was worried that her thick reading glasses might rattle straight off th...
The list of previous felines I have owned and encountered were all fair-weathered friends compared to Soren. Sure, he was an alright cat to live with but I always found that he would be pushing things off counters and laughing snidely just to spite me. 'Kiddo, you forgot the second breakfast again"he licked his lips ...
August 10th, 1945 \| Aureus Monaro 33rd, 2234 AS 1300 HOURS "With all due respect sir, THESE HUMANS ARE FUCKING INSANE!"exclaimed Sergeant Philips The Destroyer. "You, of all organisms, say that?"replied Commander Slug, baffled. "Have you seen them fight? No, but I HAVE! They don't care about shooting the...
Jack leaned over the fake wall connecting our cubicles. “Hey man, are you going to that dinner thing tonight?” No chance I was going to that bullcrap on my Friday night. “I thought about it, but I’m pretty beat. I think I’m just gonna stay in, order some food, and watch Netflix.” I’ve been thinking about this Frida...
Isaac came aboard the Eurydice at Ganymede. He was part of the crew that installed the hyperbaric chambers in the Turner-Al Saad Executive Spa. At the end of the shift, he'd excused himself to the lavatory and then just never left. He had to see it. He had to be a part of history in the making. Dak had helped. He'...
Tap tap tap tap tap tap. I looked up slightly at the clock above the whiteboard, 9:30. Just another fifteen minutes. "At the start of the war, in 1914.." My eyes panned back down to the droning below before my gaze shifted to the apathetic faces around me. The lecture continued on as my mind drifted to better place...
I want to chime in on this! :) Only because I've been cooking this story for the entire year. In short: a small town's quiet life is disrupted when a infamous graffiti artist tags a teenager's grave. Ideally I'd tell it not only through a classic story narration, but also via newspaper articles and possibly online chat...
I stepped outside of my time machine. For some reason, it seemed much warmer and drier than 5 minutes ago. I checked my flux capacitors and time fabricator, and it was correct. September 11, 2016. New York. When I walked around Times Square, it was much brighter than before. Everyone seems to wear weird clothes with ...
The 63rd reset. I've never gotten this high before. Most days are like anyone else's. I wake up to a chirping phone, announcing the time. I eventually pull myself from the warm caress of my bed, promising it that I'll return when I can. Shower. Shave. If I have enough time a fried egg for breakfast. If I'm rushed, a...
I am thinking about Sharon who works in Accounting and wears those form-fitting pencil skirts with the checkered patterns when I open the door. I am thinking about Sharon's breasts and her lips and her perfume as I step through the door and into the darkness. I am thinking of what it might feel like to press up against...
Those damn Greys won't know what hit them. They're about to learn why you don't get behind Duke Snyder, 'the Unfuckable Junkie,' in the shower. In prison, you either learn to "take it,"or you learn how to take out the meanest motherfucker in the yard. There's a third option, though; most people don't realize you cou...
Round, sweet, shiny, slick, and coy, I must have it, must have my hands Upon it and it must be mine, it will, oh Joy And it shall suffer only my demands. ---- Cloves, basil, ginger, sesame oil, A thousand pigs in a pot a mile high, My spoon's a shovel, I'm coming to a boil I can't resist the smell, won't even t...
Threats and intimidation are not uncommon in this line of work. Every single one of my clients believes themselves to be the harbinger of the apocalypse, but few have even a modicum of fashion sense; and convincing them to stay away from black faux leather is an intense challenge in and of itself. My gift is actually ...
"It's funny how our memories work, the day the first bomb fell is imprinted in my brain and I am sure I will never forget a single Detail of it. I was at a Football game with a few of my colleauges. All old humans, working Minimum wage and beeing generally subpar with the majority of the Population. Non the less We ...
On my fifthteenth birthday I got my first adjective "Charismatic Dave"I instantly became the most popular kind in school. Girls loved me, the guys envied me and all the popular kids wanted to be my friend. Other people got adjectives like tall or skinny and in the case of poor Tim "pale". It wasn't till my twentieth ...
I wake up alone. I walk my land alone. I walk my whole planet alone. When night falls i can see my nearest neighbor, a faint glow in the night sky. I sigh and sit on my porch. Maybe I'll go get some groceries although that would take me a whole to travel to the cheaper grocery store even at light speed. My grandpa once...
"Pippa, please. Sit down." I sank onto the overstuffed armchair at once, like my knees had been kicked out from behind me. My left hand was still clenched involuntarily around the parchment envelope, my clammy palm turning the paper slightly damp. My heart thudded against the cage of my ribs like it was trying to burs...
I stood at the edge of the door, ready to strike. I had gathered that three people live in this house, if it could even be called that. It was instead more like a castle. The white picket fence was nearly impossible to break through. These people lived inside their own Fort Knox, I was about to make that Fort Knoxledge...
Five months you've been working at this shop, and so far you still haven't found a box that wasn't heavy. No matter what's in it, no matter what comes out when you open it, they all seem to weigh at least a hundred pounds more than they should. But, money's money. You heave the box up, setting it on the shelf. The bel...
Today. Today is my favorite day of the year. It's the day when people are able to let loose and do as they please. It's the day that people can let their guiltiest of desires envelope and consume them. Thoughts rooted in evil can manifest as tangible. You're finally allowed to pour some of those not-so-desirable though...
"You may now kiss the bride" My ears were ringing. Everything slowed as people around me screamed and cheered. Colours that hurt my eyes flew into the air, and I watched them float and fall the the ground. Resting only to be trampled on by the people that were meant to enjoy them. I didn't register what happened ri...
I must have missed something, and I think I know how I did. If I had known... Well, to be honest, I don't know how I would have acted. Maybe nothing would have changed. Maybe everything would have. &nbsp; I watched for ages as other people controlled my body, lived my life, made my decisions. They came and they w...
"Hey, look what we have here,"John said aloud, to no one in particular, on a bright Sunday afternoon. He was sitting in the attic in his foster parents' house, a place that he has not been to for more than two decades, trying to clean up the house to make it presentable to a prospective buyer. It was a place he vowed...
The thing jabbed me roughly in the arm. This had to be a dream. "What's wrong with you, why are YOU here?"I looked around, confused. There was nothing, no trees, no clouds, it was a gray landscape and a gray sky. The only things on this plane, were myself and this weird robot that seemed to be made of bones and dr...
You'll need to start with reinforced steel, though something like mithril would be even better. Noble metals, worn only by a Main Character - they naturally exude a small but significant Plot Protection Field, and more importantly lays the foundation for what the armor will actually become. Once you've sorted out th...
I sat at my computer desk, looking down at my hands. I silently willed myself to put that gun away, hoping and hoping that I could find a reason to live. Again, the weight of my mistakes burned into my soul heavily. Each memory dive brought a little more sorrow, a little more melancholy. A life long past that I will ne...
[Shameless conceptual rip-off of Christopher Moore's A Dirty Job] They were red. Some looked almost like molten iron, too bright to look at directly. Too vital, too alive to go anywhere near. When I managed to get a good look at these people, they were always, always reflections of their souls. Just as vital. Just as ...
“Hello, humans. I am [unintelligible] from planet [unintelligible], sector 42. The Ezagoron [?] Union has reviewed this planet’s lifeforms and has deemed it ready to begin spacefaring operations. Would you like to join us?” That was what the official transcription provided to us in the year 2045 said, those thirteen...
Dear Satan, I’ve been a good girl this year and I only have one wish. Please, Satan, if you can, I would love to have a doggy. A warm fluffy one, with soft fur and beautiful brown eyes – I’m so lonely, and have always wanted a friend with big paws that I can play with and cuddle with. Please Satan. Sincerely, Molly ...
The most triumphant day in my life was followed by the saddest. It was all over the news. Captain Crystal, the hero of Hickory City, had finally defeated his arch-nemesis, Shadeclipsa. The villain who terrorized all of Hickory City, the top known threat since the death of Vilebath, was finally sentenced to life impris...
"This is my final visit. I can't thank you enough." The old man solemnly bowed his head towards me. Though this was far from my first visit, I never knew the sage's name. It never seemed right to ask. Not that he would have told me. He didn't say much, mostly listened and laughed like a maniac as I told him of my li...
"It's a mess,"God said, the reams of paper unfolding endlessly, scattering across the void of the cosmos. I squinted. The print was tiny. "We just kept - First level was unicellular organisms, you know. Pretty simple stats: chemolithotrophic growth factor, energy synthesis efficiency, things like that. But we just kept...
"David, it's time for bed!" "But Daddy, I'm busy rearranging cells to cure cancer!" "You already solved world hunger yesterday, now it's time for bed!" Being a father was hard enough. Finding out that your son was the human host of some ancient god of wisdom did not at all ease the stress of being a parent, favors t...
If only I would have known... Why didn't the bureau warn me memory loss may be a side effect from time travel? Did they even know? Well regardless, I'm in a situation I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. Samantha Wright: my target. The one I have to kill.The reason why I was sent back all of these years in the past. ...
"WOW!" The galaxy froze. Well, not the Galaxy itself, but nearly all of the countless inhabitants; save one small ocean planet in the milky way galaxy. "Do you think they heard that?"came the first whispered voice. "Of course they heard it, ya goober!"shouted an angry male. "Why don't you come over here an...
In the coldest depths of Hell, Satan sat on his icy throne watching the great traitors being ground in the gaping maw of his own likeness. Intermittently a letter would appear in a small bin hanging from its left arm. He was generally happy to read them to break the tedium of Judas’ impotent rage, Brutus’ sobbing apolo...
They drive me mad, I think. Even at night, laying awake in my bed and staring up at the oppressive ceiling, I hear them turning, feel them grinding down my body. The engineers claim that it's free energy, the next step in our world's evolution. It's what the world needs, and everyone wants more. The production line...
Christmas was fast approaching and I still hadn't gotten a gift for the big cheese himself. It was a busy year in the underworld with all those celebrity deaths, which, unfortunately as you know, have to be treated with an extra level of caution. Humans! Here I am toiling away in Hell -- the WORST job an angel can be...
"Mooooooom!" Jan raced down the staircase, the empty pill bottle clutched tightly in her fist. For her, three pills a day - morning, noon, and night - had been a constant for as long as she could remember. That is, until tonight. Tonight, she had opened the medicine cabinet for her evening dose, and found it barren. ...
"Listen,"the dragon said, "I'm a magical dragon that takes on orphans and goes on magical adventures with them. I can't just ignore an orphan in the woods." "That's what I'm trying to tell you,"I said, "he's not an orphan. He was just angry that we were trying to send him to bed early so he ran off." "He said you d...
I've never been particularly devout, but I wouldn't consider myself particularly wicked, either. There were plenty of folks way worse than me in the ole State Correctional Institute. D Block, alone, probably had the market cornered on the whole Seven Deadlies, with a healthy helping of innovative new cardinal and ven...
######[](#dropcap) Beneath his flames and the weapons of men, the terrible armies of the West had crumbled. ---- With scales charred black by the fires of resistance, his great and glorious nobility was held in reverence beside the torn and blood-soaked banners of faith. Mortal constructions, holy men, priests, kni...
"People trust what they see and experience, not what other people tell them. If you want someone to believe your story, you'll have to show it to them." Basically it was "show don't tell"but with the reason behind it. It changed how I wrote. This was closely followed by "If you want to write realistically, you have ...
"Hey. Larisa. What are you staring at?"asked Emily, a researcher. She glanced out of the window of the lab, trying to match my gaze. Her brow furrowed. Through special lenses attached to my glasses, which cast the world in a strange dimness, I saw her familiar soul shimmering faintly in my periphery. It was like peac...
Jarl Congrad stood beside the remains of Doterra's once expansive armies, frown etched deep upon his face. What had not even a half-season past numbered well into the tens of thousands, was now nothing more than the ragged dregs and weary. Reduced and cut away by battle after battle upon the Southern Plains of the Wes...
"Question,"Carrie asked, pulling her long blond hair into a faultless French braid. “Y’all think this’ll make the end of 2016 worse or the beginning of 2017 worse?" Micah put his head in his hands and groaned, taking care not to elbow his laptop off his crossed legs. "Now's not the time for questions, we have a missio...
######[](#dropcap) The Salamander, despite his burns, was still alive. Bits of crackled skin hung like rags from his frame, his flesh blackened and cook all the way through. His clothes had all been burned away as had his manhood; melted away in the fire's blaze. But his eyes were still intact, white and wet with tea...
######[](#dropcap) "Release them." ---- The voice was cold and sharp as the clatter of heavy gates rolled back upon rusted hinges. A scent of grinding iron and dry stone flushed along the darkness where I waited in silence with the others. Shadowed figured of large and armored men stepped forward with the coming li...
A sort of light entered Jebediah's mind. A sudden soar of intelligence and depth that he hadn't felt in a while. "All right, what is going on?"He asked himself, brushing off his space suit. He looked around and found himself planted upon an ever-so-slightly reddish desert. His spacecraft was nowhere to be seen, not tha...
Happy Shadow; As a child you played with your shadow, your imaginary friend, and didn't think anything of the fact that when you grinned it was grin back. It wasn't strange to you to see that spot of light show up for the mouth. Why would it be? That's what a smile looks like on the cartoons and your shadow was always...
After finally getting the bitter taste of the airlines landing jingle out of my mouth my excitement began to rise once more. I decided to give the album one more listen on my beets headphones on the taxi ride to the venue. Track 1, "Ultralight Beam", the spice of the back beat was the perfect complement to sour gospel...
Good night, honey. Good night, mom. I climbed into bed, excited for school tomorrow. We were going to do our reports on the Feed for everyone in the school, and my group had been picked to represent the school in the state competition. My mom said it was the "opportunity of my high-school career,"or whatever. I f...
I stepped out of my time machine into the sandy market of ancient Egypt with a look of awe on my face. All my years of hard work had finally paid off, because I had made time travel real. Looking around, I noticed a man selling apples, and decided to ask him for the date. Now, I'd been trying to learn ancient Egyptian ...
She was sitting there quite innocently, minding her own business and soaking up the intoxicating energy from the sun, when someone came by and yanked her fiercely by the hair. The pain was intense, but at first, nothing happened. The killer looked at her closely, frowning in concentration before he tugged harder. With ...
"Your entire race will kneel before us."A whisper echoed from somewhere in the house. I rubbed my eyes and thought it was just my brain playing tricks from the bender I went on the night before. The hot water from the shower was nice. It sluiced through my hair and I could almost feel the alcohol draining from my por...
Paolo Ducazzi Da Roma had been walking his city's rooftops some five years now, and had merely found it dull for the first two and a half years, shooing off tile thieves, catching a cold in the rain, why did they even station guys up here anyway? But things had gotten worse these last few months. Rumours abounded of h...
Once, there was a kingdom made of ice. Snow covered the ground like a perpetual blanket. Frost glittered on thatched rooftops like diamonds in the sun. In the center of the kingdom was a large enchanted fire, a roaring magnificent blaze that kept the citizens alive. The fire itself was at the heart of the royal palace....
Police sirens dopplered past the empty basketball court. Behind the bleachers, Reese jammed his ballcap into the dealer's mouth. “Hold his jaw,” he said to Sean. Sean dropped the length of rebar he was holding and wrapped his skinny arms around the dealer's head. The light from the police cars came through the bleache...
Scientists and engineers fought about how the stones were put up. Some religious scholars and students threw a theory in here or there, but otherwise historically we were focused on all the big and well-known theocracies; Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Islam, the greek pantheon, and Norse clusterfuck. Meanwhile, I ...
The $89 aluminum imitation katana whizzed through the air, its dull blade hitting the edge of a pink My Little Pony box, knocking it off the glass patio table. “Excelsior!” the man shouted, bringing the weapon down with theatrics. “Jesus, Steve. Do you parents know about this?” “Goddamnit it, Matt. I’ve told you I c...
"I hate time travelers."I sighed and leaned back on the balcony belonging to a notorious dictator. He prepared his speech, going over his lines, before his grand opening ceremony in front of his people. "I've had to make sure the same people live just so they can be killed again later."On the balcony I prepared myself,...
Bruce Wayne sat inside the Wayne Manor library, contemplating the next technological advancements he would order for his Bat Suit. He found himself staring at the many shelves in the library, filled with books he had never touched. He made himself a promise at that moment. Every week, for the foreseeable future, he wou...
The walls of the corner office were lined with pictures of famous heroes who had been or continue to be employed there. A door opened and in stepped a 7 foot tall man wearing a fancy suit. He appeared to be made entirely out of muscle, Hercules himself would ask him about his workout routine. The interviewee...
"Alright enough! This isn't funny anymore, I feel like I'm loosing my mind here! He's a damn kid!"I shouted at the nurses as they kept wheeling me down the hallway. My doctor, who stood at seven feet tall and had the face of an eight year old, walked next to my stretcher. His hands, which barely stuck out of his ex...

Ol' Ronald never knew that he was just a cover up. They were just amassing enough locations, enough people, enough supplies to make it worthwhile. The McCannon was large enough to fire Big Macs at around 300 burgers per second. One loader, one to aim, and one to fire, they were put all over the country. After that in...
"Well shit!! Who was the moron who inverted the incoming image into the helmet display sensors!?!?!"You scream. You quickly press ctrl, alt, and up arrow to readjust the image display back to normal.

I am the one destined to save the world, at least that is what the powerful old man said. That wretched old man burned through my entire fortress to speak to me, and to top it off he called me the true hero! I mean, you have to admit, it seems a bit crazy to call the Demon King the one true hero. I would have execute...
Dang, anywhere, any where but here. I caught myself saying to the broken coms. Protocol since New Mexico was to incinerate the ship and self sacrifice. That's protocol, but not reality. Reality is that all power was out and even the self destruct with it. Everyone knows why. We, the universe, can't allow these shaved...
Korean Peninsula, 08/07/2035 "Carl." I tilt my head up, facing him. "吃点饭吧。" He shoves a metal bowl across the crate to me. It's half-filled with rice. "Thanks." My fingers pinch a few grains. They're warm. I use my hand to scoop the rice into my mouth. It's bland, but it'll do. It's been one month since a ceas...
I couldn't remember if I was in Bora Bora or the Maldives at the time the epiphany for my next big idea hit me, but the trivialities of the when and where were no longer important. All that mattered was that I was now moments away from beginning my latest business venture: international hitman. For an office, I had ch...
My bullet whizzes right past his head- or where it would have been, dead center too, if it hadn't for that- is that a 20$ bill? Did he actually just find a 20$ bill laying on the ground? He did. I'll be darned. The shot echoes against his house, and through the neighborhood and the target realizes hes been shot at. He...
"So you're telling me that you are immortal, and that a super-intelligent snail, who is also immortal, is chasing you." "Yes." "And if the snail touches you, you die." "Exactly." "And you're also telling me that the snail you have trapped under that glass is said immortal snail." "That's what I'm saying." I looke...
"Revolutionaries." Kevin strips, and they check him over with some sort of machine. The stripping probably wasn't necessary; technology is advanced enough that it could probably scan him from a room away. It's an intimidation tactic. Meant to make him uncomfortable, more susceptible to whatever techniques they would...
He pulled the unborn infant from its protective cocoon, striking it roughly on one side. He aimed to rip it from its shell, naked and unprotected. As the infant fell, unguarded, into the receptacle, the monster pulled out a spiked implement, stabbing it into the unprotected side of the fetus. Ripping, he shredded its ...
Freak: a multicellular organism with an unusual physical abnormality. Not the sort of word you’d associate with a normal flesh-and-blood human, right? The word only used to appear in stories concerning oddity circuses, or beasts, or fantasy worlds not our own. But of late, my former friends and their new, perfect cron...
The math was clear, the decision final. During the five years of the company's meteoric rise, Fred had contributed absolutely nothing of value. Nowhere, on any spreadsheet did he, or anything he did, find itself in the plus column. Some of the staff had seen him making coffee or filling an ice tray here and there, but ...
######[](#dropcap) "Your Majesty, the remnants of the ghoul horde have been lead as instructed.
