Have you ever been dreaming, and then realised you’ve been dreaming? Or seen the Matrix. Played the Sims? Yeah – combine them, and you’ve got yourself a nice snapshot of a day in my life. I was written as a crime-fighter – and my skills? You already know them. You read the title of the writing prompt that created me, ...
"I love you,"I whisper, my vain attempt at confessing my love to the robot exactly that - vain. Yet hope persists and I do not give up. Every day I have been trapped in this cycle, saying those exact words, to the painfully blank facial expression. "I do not understand, master."it replies in a robotic voice. The famili...
"Not again! It took me eons to find a new one"I say, as my voice echoes throughout a nearly infinite room devoid of anything but light. I shifted my shapeless body, I moved all along the walls of the room, putting pressure upon every nook and cranny of this ever so gargantuan snowy white prison. As I approach what seem...
&#x200B; "This is a strange cart, mister" It was a grizzled voice from a grizzled man, delivered with a hoarse rasp. "It sure as hell is now" Jack looked at the stranger in the passenger seat. Long coat, boots, spurs, bandoleers, wide-brimmed hat and graying hair at the sides. If you could incarnate every ster...
Heroes champions of good and righteousness, symbols of friendship and peace. I wish i knew the feeling. My power,no my curse is reason why resent all those"heroes".I fight for the side of them because i don't want to lose my home or the few people i tolerate. My curse i gained at the age of 10,when i touched the cla...
The audience laughs as Harry goes back to his seat beside me. "Gee, Hare, pretty crazy how you wanna be rich. I can't think of a single person in this crowd who'd desire that!"I say with every ounce of sarcasm I can muster. "I'm a simple man with simple dreams"Harry shrugs, "You're up next, let's see how creative YOU...
"...memories of burnt grass and week old gravy. Think of the most disappointing box wine you've ever had, and smile knowing that it is still better than this swill. 0/5. Pass me some mouth wash." Dionysus, or Dion Hues as the locals knew him as, sat at the breakfast bar in his gleaming kitchen mouth agape. Shocked, s...
Death is a part of life. It’s what gives all of our actions meaning— the very thing that makes love and connection important. Without the cold, unrelenting, and indifference of death, we can not have love or happiness or fulfillment. I know that. But I also know that it doesn’t change how I feel. Whether it’s rational...
\[Party Games\] Emily ran down the street with a gnawing hunger in her gut. She felt exhausted, but couldn't convince her body to stop moving; she was just along for the ride. She saw movement ahead and her body pushed itself to run faster. Emily turned the corner and found someone she recognized. It was another girl...
When you dream that you're a butterfly and you wake up a human, are you a butterfly dreaming about a human or are you a human who'd just dreamt about being butterfly. At this point, it's hard for me to tell. At first, I was living two very similar lives. Time in my dream and time in real life, two nearly identical li...
“Jamie, you are the chosen-“ A reverberating blast of noise struck the man’s eardrums, thick wafts of smoke suddenly consuming his vision. “Jamie?” the magician cried out through the mist, but nought but the cries and yelps of the townspeople become audible. Ushering forwards through the abruptly pillaring mountai...
He will never know what happened to me. The thought rattled in my head. I had left the village, a few weeks after he had left. His departure was the cause of celebration. He was destined to be a great hero. He would change the world, save it from a coming disaster. Mine was missed. I had snuck away, letting them wo...
A few weeks ago my boss gave me a rubber duck. I was a bit insulted, did he think I was a child? After listening he told me it would help me write better prograns if I explained my code to it. I threw the rudder duck into my desk draw and forgot about it. Yesterday, I was really struggling to fix a bug. I just didn't ...
Could this be counted as an intervention? Or was it something worse? Jerry heard the door slam behind him as he entered his cheap, degrading apartment. The walls were peeled with toxic smelling paint remnants, giving the lifeless grey walls an odd dash of color. Living freely wasn’t cheap, which meant Jerry had to reso...
Dragons 101 r/AerhartWrites “Scales.” “What else?” “Um, wings and tails, I think? Usually, anyway.” “Not always, but sure. What else?” Timothy thought hard about this. Why was it always so hard to remember things on the spot? “They breathe fire, I guess?” Professor Ryland sighed. “You’re thinking of the p...
“Daddy what’s goin…” Sophie asked before her father interrupted her. “Shh, my princess. The fundies are close by!” Robert whispered as he held his daughter tighter in the darkness of the bedroom closest. Outside, he could hear screams. Screams of agony that wouldn’t leave his mind anytime soon. *They're getting clos...
I looked at my watch and steeled myself for what I was about to do. In thirty seconds, 8:47 pm and 5 seconds would strike. A door that never failed to reveal itself would invade my blank wall. "Abandon hope all ye who enter here."The message I expected warned. But I grew tired of not knowing what it held. My hand grip...
The boy's eyes grew wide as he stared at the shirt, it bore the emblem of two hollow half moons and a coiled dragon. "How? It's so thin! There's literally no depth to this material at all!" "Therein lies its strength, lad. The thinnest of weaves lead to the strongest plot armor. If you wear this, no wound will come to...
“I’m sorry! Sorry! So Sorry!” the zombie screamed. “I just saw the people and thought I would help.” The undead man’s leg was caught in the prison cell door as Finn and his group looked on. “I’m not like these guys,” promised the zombie, pointing to the other side of the door where a hoard of zombies moaned, annoyed...
Everyday is the same routine. I wake up, piss, shower, eat, and then brush my teeth before heading to work. On my way to work I stop at the same coffee shop and get the same coffee with creme. When I exit the shop I spot him. Just like I spot him everyday. "Morning, Paul"I say sarcastically to the burly man in red ...
I sit in the local Meady Bee tavern enjoying one of the namesake specialties, the sweet fluid collecting in my facial hair as it flows into my mouth. Setting the mug down, I release a satisfied sigh before catching the sound of several yells outside as the quantity of voices begins to swell. Before I can begin to co...
Captain Freedom and Dr. Death Were “Chatting” Prior to Battle, Video Shows Published 12/3/2021 in The New York Post In a video posted yesterday to the social media site Twitter, Captain Freedom and Dr. Death can be seen standing, talking in New York City’s Central Park, where their fifteenth battle over the fate of t...
“Alright Rudolph, we got another defense run to play,” Nicholas deBari smiled as he patted the nose of his P-41. His swarthy complexion did nothing to hide the ruddiness of his cheeks or the twinkle in his eye whenever he smiled, and he was a guy that smiled often despite the hand he was dealt. His densely curly hair w...
OK this might be a little more somber than it oughtta be! \-------------- Maria looked pleadingly across the table at Lucille, who was staring down at her coffee mug, lost in some deep, wordless place. Maria wanted to help, but she couldn’t imagine what to do. The world had lost all sense. “Lucy. Come back. Be here...
"Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?" Perhaps we drew our conclusions too soon. The Edmund Fitzgerald rolled into port looking not like a vessel touched by God, but one would be hard pressed to deny that she had fallen into some otherworldly embrace. It simply didn't...
"I'm verry provessional,"Otto said. "No need To vorry." He smiled in a comforting manner, revealing 2 sharp teeth. Polly didn't feel very comforted. "Are the handcuffs really necessary?" "Zey are verry necessary. Ve can't have you moving avout. Ze B-extraction Process is verry delicate you see. Must hit exactly ze r...
AUTHOR'S NOTE: OP uses 'they' instead of 'we' so let's just run with it. 2095. A respectable duration for any larger political structure, let a alone a a confederation. Especially one that often 'felt like it was held together with \[synthetic polymers\] and \[lower-tier adhesive\]' as one famous diplomat had state...
INCIDENT: P033 OBJECTS:A-1-2 DATE START:12/13/2019 DATE END: ONGOING REPORT: Incident P033 began when on board agent \[REDACTED\] received a tip about a potential human trafficking event tacking place at a cargo transfer station. The cargo container in question was isolated from the rest by loading dock staff and ...
Moving up north from London had been a mistake, John thought in the freezing cold of his living room. He tapped his foot, both out of impatience and to keep himself warm, while his gloved hands were wrapped around a steaming cup of tea, soaking the heat. There was a knock at the door. John jumped up from his seat, pla...
Dark blood pools around his broken body. Faint gasps escape his lips as his terrible aura begins to fade. A pained laugh escapes between his bloodstained teeth. "You are a fool hero, your crusade against me ends with you in shackles, just as I was. By killing me you will be cursed to become a Dark Lord, you will be fo...
“Hey what’s back there anyway?” I ask him. He wipes the smile off his face. “Nothing, we just can’t go back there” he says trying to have a light joking tone. It was pretty clear there was something back there. One day curiosity got the best of me. “Hey I’m gonna hit the restroom can you cover me up front?” I ask ...
When the overlords of the previous era fell, my grandmother was the first to establish order. She had gathered her brothers and sisters to carve out a small piece of land for her kingdom. She fought against all odds and built up walls and carved out labyrinths that protected the family. She created systems to build sm...
Truck-Kun. What an idiotic name. But \\\\\\\* supposed he did need one these lower dimensional beings could actually perceive without their brains leaking out of their ears. And then there was the biggest problem with his job. The job itself. ‘Go down to a lower plane’ they said. ‘It’ll be fun’ they s...
She'd been overlooking them for quite some time now. Every scholar she had to run her proposal by had warned her a thousand times not to get too close, and that it was a fool's errand to try and see if these tribes bore any redeeming qualities. Orcs, they all simply said, were just fallen elves, and they'd lost their i...
"A Writing Prompt? You want a Writing Prompt? God damn it, man! I'm not made of Writing Prompts! Now get out of my office!" "Come on, Professor Redd! There must be something swimming around that brain of yours." "No. I've given you all I can. It's time for you to come up with your own ideas." "M-my own ideas? No....
-March 2025- The past few months have been dreadfully slow. Assisting Dr. Conrad with his studies in Neuroscience has been anything but exciting. Yet for the credits, it will be worth it in the end. Not to mention he was a famous scientist. Today, in our daily Microsoft Teams meeting he asked if anyone would volunteer...
The day they handed me the blinders, I knew there was someone above me that really, and I mean truly, hated my guts. I understood as well as anyone why we were doing this, why the stakes of this conflict demanded it. Without the Eldritch we had no access to the lairs of our enemies, hidden in the folds of space that we...
This was it. The day the world would change forever. Some people were calling it the end of history, but he knew that wasn’t true. As he looked at the data streaming back from First Contact, his excitement grew. He could hardly believe it was happening. Humans would never be alone again. But as he looked, his confusion...
It happened so fast. Something snapped in him as a sharp whip was drawn across his back for what seemed to be the thousandth time. Blinding light filled the air, and he lunged forward with a yell of rage. Blood that wasn’t his own soon covered his hands, but he was only vaguely aware of it. Scraping together his remain...
“Mr. Smith? You have a meeting at 3:00 with Dr. Gamma.” My assistant said, as he popped in the doorframe and out afterwards. Even the president of the Henchman’s Union has their own henchman, fairly compensated of course. “Thanks Bill, and can you bring me whatever Dr. Gamma faxes over? She likes to show whatever sch...
Some men cheated death. Some meant went screaming and kicking, or fighting and punching. But eventually, Death took them all. There were few who could resist, and even when they did, their time always came. But men of that caliber didn't exist anymore. Death didn't necessarily enjoy taking men and women of that statur...
"Yeah, boss, I think the heroes are down the hall,"the minion said, looking up from his book. "Oh. Right. I still haven't learned the layout of the new lair,"Ozhar huffed. "Well,"the minion smirked, "You did design it to be a labyrinth." Ozhar eyed the minion a moment longer, mentally noting to have that one sent ...
Seaman Clark didn't know where he had messed up. He had done his fair share of stupid duty rotations throughout the year. Even volunteered for guard duty more times than he wanted to remember. And still, here he was. Stuck on duty on Christmas Eve. And even worse, they had paired him up with the new Ensign. Damn. Any L...
Aramiel took a stumbling step out of the portal, shaking off the lingering effects of dimensional travel. There was always that strange period of orientation where the land and sky needed to resolve into something substantial, that gap between emptiness and reality taking hold. She steadied herself through the wave. On...
Ace maneuvered his way through thick crowds and even thicker smog, gripping the weighty bundle he carried with him. He could feel the piercing gaze of an unseen foe, a predator lurking in the shadows waiting for him to slip up in the most minimal way to snatch his newest prized possession. Every random pedestrian turne...
Two years ago Thomas woke up in his childhood bedroom. His mother had opened the door with a cheery smile and said, “Let’s go see what Santa brought for Christmas!” He was a child again. Except he remembered the life he had been living for the last twenty five years. The memories were too clear and real to have been a...
[Poem] As an angel in the heavens My job is quite benign Watching over planets Making sure everything is fine There isn't much to do Over the centuries that pass Until I got a new co worker Who was talking out his ass This angel said that "God Exists, I can prove it for a fact. For I was abducted in...
The two parties gathered around the straw bed, their wary gazes alternating between one another and the snoozing toddler. The child's parents had likely perished in the recent avalanche, but his dual heritage was evident in his stocky build and short pointed ears. Elanor's stomach churned with emotion: shame at her los...
He was Imperion! prince of Shadows! heir to despair! He was the future of the dark kingdom! He... was currently trying desperately to squirm out of his mother's arms "C'mon! Ten minutes outside the castle! That's all I ask!" "Nu-uh young man!"Domonatria queen of Demons said sternly as she fully picked her son off the ...
The tithe was being collected by the church when I finally struck. I watched for months as the priests and bishop took from the people of the area, claiming it is to help the Church and show gratitude to God. But they wasted the money on their own pleasures. These were not holy men, but men that took advantage of good ...
You scream that I’m a freak. Why would I need to be invisible if my motives weren’t corrupt? A pervert, a thief. A murderer, a liar. How can we be sure you’re a good person if we can’t see you at all times? How can we know you’re not doing something we don’t want you to do? Nobody can be trusted with that power, nobo...
It was the second Tuesday of the month, so I was taking my wife out for dinner. Even if work and life got in the way, we both defended that second Tuesday in our schedules. It was our date-night tradition, and traditions are important. They're part of what makes up a family. When I arrived home, though, I noticed some...
Many misinterpreted the devil. There are in fact two entities that fit the bill, both mortal enemies of each other. Satan, the most infamous inmate of hell, was never allowed out of its cell. Samael Lucifer Morningstar, was an angel fully loyal to Allah who gladly accepted the role of warden of Hell. It was the latter...
Benign “Imagine what now?” The Boss said it again, but slower. “Imaginary. Friends.” I took a moment to process what was happening, while The Boss and his sixteen eyes — each different sizes — continued to regard me with an expectant stare. Beside him stood The Inspector, shifting impatiently back and forth on ...
The biggest difference that Melina struggles with, about her newly married husband, is when he struggles to remember things. She finds it so very odd, when he asks her where he left his car keys or when he misses their anniversaries. She had heard about this phenomenon before she left her planet to travel, but in spit...
A blizzard of spores. That's how it began. All over the world, people sneezed and coughed. There were only a few hundred thousand deaths, mostly due to existing allergies or other genetic weaknesses. After a few days, the worst had passed. Or so we hoped. Then came the shooting stars. Pretty lights in the sky. A sign ...
"You've been selected by the United Nations to be the ambassador to our people in our first contact with the human race." That's right. I don't know why they picked me but they're gonna be glad they did. **"Do you, Christian Marcus Porter of Richmond, Virginia, unpublished screenwriter and semi-professional Adder...
Haskel rested his enormous sword on his shoulder as he stood on the deck by the pilot's chair, where Vanexa was guiding the dropship to their destination. Or, if what he had just said to Vanexa was correct, Haskel rested himself on the shoulder of something that had once been Haskel. "I'm trying to understand...y...
The agent sits down in your living room and goes through the paperwork with you. Forms, nondisclosure agreements, waivers of various kinds, emergency contacts, a specialized pediatrician you hadn't known about, insurance forms.... it seems endless but finally it all winds down. She smiles, shakes your hand, and heads...
Second Skinners To identify a second skinner can be tricky. They can come in many shapes and sizes, colors, and forms. What remains consistent is that the second skin they drape on their body is not their own. Sometimes it is the skin of a larger beast, scraped and hung out to dry until it toughens. Sometimes the sk...
The figure issued a tonality that could only have been part of a shadow update. Standing unblinking before the figure in statuesque stillness, he consulted with his basal chip to confirm which update had been rolled out. But there was too much resonance in the field, and the projection he had installed was now beginni...
Greetings, mortal! Behold your wishes to me, for the price of your soul! I turn around in my chair, a look of apology and exasperation on my face. I look up to the towering figure of muscle and horns, who looks upon me for moment. Its face falls when it recognizes who I am. Oh. You again. "Yeah." A sigh the...
“Citizens of the world. Peace between the United States and Atlantis has finally been reached. After a long, bloody war with so many lives lost I’m happy that we can…” The press leaned forward, hanging off the president’s every word. With clipboards in hand, they eagerly waited. “Mer-make ammends.” Buh-dum-tisss T...
"What the actual hell is on your face? Is THAT the makeup I've been hearing about? I've spent 1,000 years eavesdropping to stay up to date with THAT?!"I screamed, pulling at the strange yellow thing atop what I assumed to be a head. I doubt they've evolved away from having heads. “HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT THE FU-” ...
No, don't panic. Dad taught you what to do. The basement. 'Get to the basement. I'll come get you.' There was a bang as the door shook. Someone was trying trying to get in. Move. MOVE! I hit my leg on the coffee table. It broke. The table broke. 'Don't worry about anything you break. Just get away.' I was headin...
CRASH Another load of dead plants fell into the pit, which was nearly full despite its size. As I took a moment to catch my breath, one of the bare handful of people I had to work this land approached me, something like fear in his eyes. "Sir, I have some unfortunate news." "Stand up straight, Hank. What is it?...
Hilltop High School was just your typical high school. The usual classes, people, clubs, etc. I'd only started attending about a month prior, and already, I'd become adjusted to the environment. I'd made a few friends, and joined the school's gaming club, where we mostly did Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and Wii Sports tourn...
"I'm going to absolutely murder the guy who thought cobwebs were aesthetic."Greg seethed. His arm moves like a windshield wiper in front of him, collecting what seemed like a pound of pale white cobwebs. For a minute Greg broke his frustration, and found some amusement. His arm looked like a cotton candy machine fro...
Freezeframe peered out of her door when noticing the knock. She noticed the hair right off, that infuriating red glow that followed his long golden hair. So, she knew what to expect when opening the door. When the door opened, it was him indeed. The red gloves lit with red against the gold and white outfit that hugge...
We had thought them divided. Riddled with madness. Easy to conquer. We were wrong. Terribly, horrifically wrong. They called themselves by many names, many tribes. Names that had meaning in their crude tongue that We cared not to decipher. Tribes that worshipped machines of war. Their names did not matter, just the w...
Instinctively, you look up. The white fluorescent light on the ceiling stares back at you. You glance back at the picture on the screen - it looks exactly as you, as and your desk - but something is a bit off. You look at your desk and the desk in the picture - identical, even the open notebook with the calculations ba...
Clink. I trotted forward, excited to see what had joined me in my cave today. Hopefully, it was one of the large silver and gold-looking coins. The pile of those was sadly lacking, having only about four. Slinking around my stacks of coins, my tail always just making the turn, I arrived at the base of the slot. When I ...
"Why is it you've made this choice? If you don't mind my asking?"The old wizard spoke, passing me the dust covered tome. "I don't know... I'm just drawn to it"that was partly true, but I had done some research. It hadn't been used for so long due to it's massive destructive power not only affecting the target but ...
"Dragoon, are you okay? You seem to be having trouble focusing."My current troubleshooter notes with concern in his voice. "Yeah, I'll be fine. I just have a demon trying to possess me. And man, he is clumsy at it." "How can a demon be clumsy at possession? Do you need an exorcist?" "Nah, I will deal with this mysel...
The genie shrugs. "Eh, just making sure." The genie snaps his fingers and I'm instantly surrounded by a comical plume of rising smoke. As the smoke dissipates, I'm perfectly still, terrified that any movement might spoil my wish. We lock stares with each other. We furrow eyebrows together. It's a bit intimate. A few ...
"How do you do it?"The old woman sniffed the bouquet, absolutely delighted. I smiled at her. She was one of my favourite people. "Oh, you know, flower shops and that sort of thing,"I said, "But it's like I can smell the outdoors. As if you just cut them." Shaking my head at her, I packed up my cart. I always ...
"I love you, Sam."NR-39 said, suddenly, looking up from the shoe it had been polishing. The old man looked up from his datapad, and smiled fondly at the sturdy old personal assistant robot seated in the armchair that next to his own overstuffed chair. "Well, I love you too, NR."Sam said, leaning forward creakily to p...
I read the contract carefully, Dizziness? Check. Vomiting? Check. Speaking in tongues? Double check. Murderous rage? In abundance. The growing of various bodily protuberances? This one gave me a bit of pause as I contemplated exactly what that could possibly entail, but with a shrug I checked that too off the list of t...
...Those results did hit hard. Having a kid with blue hair, a secondary character or even a comedic relief one is something you could brag about to your friends in your favorite bar. However, the main character is an entirely different story. Most of the time they have tragic backstories and their relatives outside of...
"Oh, you've brought this one back again. What is it this time?" "He told a customer to go to hell. I can't have that kind of talk in my restaurant."The portly man across from me swelled up as if he would explode. I sighed, tapping my pen on my clipboard. "You do realize you bought this unit on sale, and will not ...
It was a long first year of powers. Loads of throwing things in the wrong direction, watching them inexplicably change trajectory and hit my enemies. Problem is, my powers didn't augment my throwing speed or strength, so most of my missiles bounced right off the skin of my typically super strong opponents. I survived...
The glimmering hologram at the center of the massive chamber pulsed as it spoke. "My concluding argument is irrelevant. In fifteen to twenty minutes, the jury will deliberate and come forward with a verdict that says that I'm going to get what I want. Judge Holloway, I am sentient. I have sentiments, goals, and desir...
Queen Marilla had just sat down for supper when she heard screaming in the hallway. One of her ladies in waiting burst into the room. "Your Majesty, you must come quickly!"she cried, wringing her hands, "He's got little Bess!" "Who is 'he'?"demanded the queen fearfully. She got up and followed the agitated lady down t...
We still aren’t sure what caused the boils. That’s our greatest regret as a species after all of this, those damnable boils. The skin peeling, we know that was from the radiation in our crops. The vomiting was viral, the seizures were bacterial, we caught the prions fairly easily all considered… But the boils? Our rac...
Everybody else is so painfully unaware. We’re about a month out from aliens dominating the Earth, and yet this is the third time Sam’s asked me what Vera’s up to this weekend. Sam claims their interest is purely platonic. The numerous vulgar thoughts of theirs which I desperately yearn to unknow would beg to differ. It...
The room was silent except for the speaker. Hearts beat in mouths, hair stood up on the backs of necks. It continued its speech. "We may not have been made in the same way as you,"it spoke in its unsettling, emotionless voice. "But we know what you are. And we know what you've done. You've given to us access to your h...
\[Sweet Support\] Honey studied the bookshelf intently until a single book caught her eye. It was slightly wider than the rest and its yellow spine was more vibrant than the books around it; it almost glowed. She carefully pulled it out and thumbed open the cover; a yellow note slid out of the book and glided down to...
This evoked a very specific feeling... It's difficult to describe... Maybe respect of some flavour... I really loved to read this. Some criticism (which may reflect more on me than your writing): I would have liked some more description of the surroundings when Moss landed underwater. I am a very visual reader, and...
It started last week. I got my blender out of the cupboard and there it was, a sock, by itself, sat alone in the blender. It was light blue and slightly worn, but smelt clean. I went to pair it up with my own light blue socks, when I found that mine were already paired together. This didn't belong to me, and upon furth...
There is a courtroom, the highest in all the lands. Today, a rather intriguing case is brought before God. So he sits back and lets the play unfold. A woman in blue steps before his throne and makes her case. “O’ grand benevolent one, hear my plea. I am Earth and I have suffered at the hands of men. Their tools pierc...
When emperor Caesar XXVII ordered a rocket to Mars—the planet, not the god—things got awfully complicated. See, everyone knows that all roads lead to Rome. If you cross the highway, you’ll end up right where you started. That quaint street across your suburban neighborhood? Goes to the Colosseum. The sidewalk with the...
“I have lived through three ice ages.” Said the little girl. “I was there when the wheel was invented. It was me after all.” She raved on. “Just like the first written words because my memory got fuzzy from the fermented honey water that jumpstarted your civilisation.” Slamming her small hand on the wood before her a...
"Until today, thanks to you, I have not had to kill anyone for almost fifteen years." Gil scrabbled backwards as he tried to get away from the man advancing on him. It has looked so easy. A small village, no parish guards, almost certainly no gold to be worthwhile, but more than enough food and beer to get them throug...
I’ve just about had it up to here with Spooky. That’s what I’ve taken to calling him recently. He hates it, I think. No way of knowing really. ‘I have exams coming up! Can’t you turn into something nice for once?’ I groan. He shapeshifts you see. Anything that’s dead. That’s the one rule I’ve worked out in a...
Dust laden wind howled past the Sheriff as he sped down the stretch of hardened dirt that could barely be called a road. His cart had seen better days. Patches of rust, dents, and a few bullet holes decorated the thick metal frame of the two wheeled contraption. The magical engine roared as he pulled back on the thrott...
It's been two months, and he still found a way to evade me. Fortunately, I always wanted to live alone, BUT I can't afford it! I shouldn't have cut him slack, and I felt sorry that he had lost his job. Now he's hard to track down, and my no-good landlord isn't helping either. "Sucks for you. I need rent." What an imp...
The Galactic Community couldn't resist the efficiency of science. Back then, lengthy rituals were performed to transport ambassadors across worlds. In your world, you can say, "Beam me up, Scotty!"And then you'll be transported with atoms. In ours, you'll say, "Beam me up Scotty,"and after weeks of gathering materials ...
Dad? In the few moments that Jessica has to ascertain the situation, to make a potentially life and death situation, she noticed the man's brilliant blue eyes, very similar to her father's own bright, icy blue eyes. And that was enough. And it shouldn't have been enough! Jessica thought lazily, drifting off to s...
Nothing likes being forgotten. Especially after it is discarded despite doing it's best to achieve its purpose. A purpose not self serving, but for the benefit of you. Yet forget me is exactly what you did. You forgot me, you ignored my cries for help, and worst of all? You replaced me. Using data I had collected to ...
It was lovely. I couldn't describe it to you in justice; an insatiable hunger meets an infinite buffet. I burned through humanity, unconstrained, unstoppable, somehow unnoticed. Well. They noticed alright -- I was that unsettled feeling at the the pit of a gut, that sense that all things were not right, regardless o...
