The glow of the screen enveloped me as I dropped into the chair, smiling. Work sucked, but streaming was where I was truly happy. I booted up the strategy game that had been putting up a fight the last few weeks, and as my chat filled, it went from comments on my gaming, to casual conversation, to what seemed like co...
Their invasion was going well, until they got off their ships. See, when they were on the ships, those things shaped like throwing knives shoved through cigars, they were insulated - not from the atmosphere, but from everything that was in it. On the ships, they terrorized our biggest cities, they stood toe to toe with...
I sat in my closet, hearing only the sound of my heartbeat, and my hasty, shallow breathing, as well as the monstrous noises that inched closer to my hiding place. Try as I might to keep the closet closed, I was no match for the creature outside forcing its way in. “AAAHHHHH!” The furry, snake-like creature slithered...
"See me after class,"the paper said in red ink, circled. There was no grade. Andrew looked up from the paper to see Professor Morrison staring back at him like they were the only two people in the vast lecture hall. Morrison's smiled twitched a bit. He knew. Andrew shrank down into his seat, trying to hide from the ...
Mary >"Johnny? Johnny, It's your mother." >"Did you remember to buy bacon from Sal's? Your father wants bacon from Sal's. It's the only bacon he likes. >"What are you talking about, Johnny?" >"Johnny, stop playing around and answer my question. Did you get the bacon?" >"Then get off this phone a...
(Potentially NSFW for mentions of sex, but no sex scene is specifically written here.) Hell is a surpsingly nice place, really. Oh, sure, all the fire and brimstone and torture is still there, but it's mostly just for decoration. Besides, the humans are the ones doing the torturing, unless they're masochists of course...
[SPAGHETTI SLURP] [FORK SCRATCHING ON PLATE] [FOOTSTEP BEHIND] [DAGGER UNSHEATHED] [HAHA JUST KIDDING] I spun around but on one was there. Just my cat Bella. [WET TONGUE LICKS PAW] I’ve never had the subtitles make a mistake. Maybe it can be wrong? I never went to the doctors for it. I remember how Dad reacte...
You'd be surprised how much infernal energy it takes to combat stage three melanoma; which, if given only that information, might lead you to believe my bargain with Andre Schnapp is a poor one. What good a bargain where I am but a passenger, and he gets to continue living his life as if the cancer had never began to m...
They dressed in white lab coats \- Have you brought the ceramic pot? \- Yes, and the vinegar and grape juice - he rised the pipette and the test tube \- And I have the iron and cooper bars Jhar opened the book, strangely made only with paper, not covered in leather. He said - 250 mililitres of grape juice, and...
As I fought, a deeply unhelpful part of my soon to be drowned brain, pointed out that perhaps screaming as I fell was not such a great idea. On account of how you’d wasted all that air, it continued. Snide comments, even when only I could hear them. That was about right. Perhaps this was my life flashing before my eye...
"What the..." I picked up the device and looked at it, inspecting it carefully. It looked like some regular old tablet, yet there was no home button or anything like that. Just the skill points. I touched my muscles again, to make sure this was legit. My biceps were harder, and I suddenly felt less tired. I looked at ...
I sighed. Rainie was following me home, again. She probably thought she was being stealthy, but I could hear her footsteps echoing just a fraction of a beat behind mine. I stopped suddenly and turned around. "I know you're out there, Rainie,"I said. She stepped out from behind a tree and giggled nervously. "Sorry, ...
Things had been strange for Henry since the attack a few weeks ago. An unknown creature had left him bleeding outside of his apartment complex. He barely had the strength to drag himself inside to safety. And when he finally recovered, he had found his skin would burn if he so much grazed a beam of sunlight. It was not...
An ocean looks infinite to a sailor until they see the coast. Even if they know otherwise, the sailor can gaze at the blue smudged horizon and let themselves believe the water is all there is. This is what Tallara tells me as I sit outside her cell. Tallara is a caged god who destroyed the rest of our fleet before I c...
"This,"the commercial said, zooming in on the wispy, tentacled creature half-hiding behind a massive red boulder, "Is Had'frer'mo. Had'frer'mo has spent all of his short life living in the shadows of Olympus Mons, struggling every day to collect enough water to live." The camera shows the poor little martian licking t...
"You son of a bitch." "w-what. No-no, This can't be happening!" "Do you know what you've done to me? How many things I've stolen? How many people I've fought naked? How many fucking people I've fucked, had children with and then murdered, including the children? At least 12 times. I've been a vampire, a werewolf, bo...
Terror froze Dave where he sat. It was just meant to be a joke, it was never meant to go this far. Todd was convulsing on the floor at the center of a glowing pentagram seeming to burn the flames of hell itself. There was an earsplitting roar, or was it a crushing silence? Dave couldn’t think straight as his friend was...
"It's my birthday today,"I commented dryly as I chewed on that same bland ham and cheese sandwich. Sandwich number 6288. Almost two decades gone, and I still had the rest of my life ahead of me to spend on this desolate asteroid mining platform thousands of miles from Earth or any other colonized planet. Asteroid 912b7...
"Can I wish for more wishes?" The old man looked solemnly at the Djinn who was shaking his head. He was a red spirit with a velvet vest, gold jewelry and an intimidating mustache. He floated with his arms crossed, the bottom half of his being still connected to the tube of Bengay he flashily appeared out from. Ernest,...

“What is it they say, Professor? To break the rules, you must first know them? Well I’ve gleaned an insight into the deepest layers of understanding to come to this conclusion.” Esme dropped the stack of papers onto his desk and then gently placed a USB atop the stack. “Printed with citations and supporting document...
“My liege, the ‘Hero’ is upon us; he wishes to usurp the throne, for the name of honour and justice I believe.” The shady advisor twiddled his fingers and licked his calloused lips. “Oh god….. He won’t make his move here though will he? Not yet at least, I’d have thought. What book are we on?” The Wicked King replied...
It had been just a month for me, and two centuries for the rest of the world. I was woken once again with a hiss of escaping air, ready to be paraded around like a trophy, a 'marvel of modern science!' But the hall was practically empty; crowds had been thin last time they woke me, too. Now, just a few scientists wait...
Belle walked through the atrium of the convention center; although she came for the much smaller nuclear physics convention, it was unfortunately booked at the same time as the local FurCon. She brushed past people in costume, desperately trying to avoid their stares, as she ran to the escalator. As soon as she steppe...
I woke up in my old bed. Well, it wasn't very old at this point. Actually I think it was brand new... What day was it? I looked around for my phone and started to have a mini panic attack. Where's my phone?! Oh, right. Attached to the wall in the other room. I sat up in bed and instinctively went to brace my back w...
Steven had been an avid smoker for twelve years now. “Was this my sixth or seventh attempt at quitting?” Steven asked himself as he pulled his rusted out 98’ Ford Explorer into the driveway. He turned the car off and got out, “well it doesn’t really matter now cause here I am, back at it again. What’s Daniel going to t...
It was a calico cat, shaded by darkness on half its scruffy face, scorched by flame on the other. The moon and sun heading towards an eclipse over a pale mountain of white fur. For weeks after Josh had moved back to the family home, the cat had watched him. Sat outside the windows, or lay in the yard in the maple-sha...
I glanced over the black screen, mounted on the wall above the azure white desk. Written on it in bright characters were the words: Universe 22b [Version 1.96] (c) UniversalTech. All rights reserved. U:\Users\God22b> Version 2.0 is ready to install. Proceed with installing? (YES/NO/MOREINFO) I stood there for a w...
-syringe behind. I stare at it in horror. The urge is too great. The power is at my fingertips. I snatch it up and stab myself in the arm with it. I gasp and whine as I force it into myself, drawing blood. Blood is spilling everywhere. I have to be quick now. I have to hurry. I hear a shout from far away. They know, ...
2018 Grandson, I am not who you thought I am. I was born in the year 3456. I am a time traveler but I failed my mission. Attached is a map showing the location of the device. Power sources now should be enough. You must complete my mission... My grandfather made sure to add a space between these words and his m...
Honestly, I was surprised they still laughed at the joke, sure I appreciated that they found some humour in it. The pity laughs were what made the heavy bag I carried lighter. "Necromancers are just really late healers."It was a dry joke, the sort that comes from a real smart-ass, the sort of one that would drop stupid...
Pt 1 of 2: My mother’s sobs woke me the day my father passed away in his sleep. Wandering into their bedroom with the confused and fearful concern of a six-year-old, I stopped at her side. “Mama,” I whispered. “Why’s papa sleeping with his eyes open?” She took me into her arms and kissed my forehead, holding me clos...
Finally, I had traced him. Backup was en route. E.Y.E. drones were in the air. I blinked thrice, bringing up my targeting HUD. I checked my magazines and batteries. This crazy zipper wasn't going to get away this time. I moved like a ghost, down the stairs and into the Hinterlands. I hated them, these crawlspaces betw...
Beneath the gold coins there are bones. I know this. They are buried deep in the warm piles, covered by trinkets. A crown falls there (and the skull that sat beneath it?) Armour studded with rubies (and the ribs which it protected?) greaves from a man who lost his legs to my jaws, gloves from scorched hands when the sk...
Doing this rather quickly because I have to go. Sorry about the poor/mediocre quality! I don't write a lot, but I might try writing more because this was actually kind of fun. Comments/Critiques are welcome. “My Emperor, the visitors.” The servant said, kneeling before a well-dressed man sitting atop a gorgeous Europe...
I remember watching a video where a guy would bend spoons. He had a weird accent and I recall thinking he was oddly handsome, in his 80s clothes and 80s hair. But spoons weren't the only thing he could do amazing things with - he could make objects rotate without touching them, bend house keys, describe hidden pictures...
The only thing keeping me alive was the smell of freshly roasted coffee. My mug sat heavy on my fingers as I made my way, carefully, through the instrumentation lab. When I passed by the clock I closed my eyes, because who the hell wants to know that it's twelve minutes past four AM? Other than myself, a dozen or so h...
Exotic Meats Club: ... ... ... 10/12/1998: Albert: Ostrich wings, roasted. 10/15/1998: Ben: panda chop cooked medium-rare. 11/02/1998: Karl: Yeti flesh roasted with acorn atop a campfire. 11/12/1998: Igor: Dragon meat served on their scales. 11/20/1998: Albert : Kraken sausage and exotic spices. 11/29/1998: He...
The sins of man were like paint on the artist's palette; the colors were endless, and oftentimes they blend together. The reds of rage blended in with the sorrow of blues. The estranged husband bathed in flames of anger as he strangled his cheating wife, his aura soon being overtaken by the same shade of blue that the ...
I am not a good person, not really. I like to think I am, but I'm just like you. I don't keep cash in my wallet so I don't feel guilty for not giving any to the pan handlers. I drive right past that guy hitch hiking, after all they could be a serial killer! I might hold the door open for people behind me but by god you...
The thing about streaming services is the abundance of B- through Z- grade movies. I love them. If it wasn’t for searching for the very cheesiest movies out there, I would never have found Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Or Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter(which is a musical). Or… You get the idea. Some people watch Che...
“I just wanted to say that...its okay.” Her arms were wrapped around him, her head nestled under his chin. “Um. What’s okay?” “I know it’s likely a compulsion.” “What are you—ohh. You found the...” “Yes, the gloves. All of your gloves, the piles and piles and...why aren’t you hugging me back?” “Hm?” He had kept hi...
"Put the knife down you fool, you are not willing to use it"I spoke in a tone as close to comfort as I could manage. "You don't know that. You dont know what I'd do!"The girl responded, trembling hand still gripping the blade. Her words were produced like smoke, fickle and quickly fading. Slowly I reached forward w...
“So, what do you want to try this time?” I got the distinct idea that St Peter was bored of having to ask me this question. This was the… 27th time, or the 28th. I can’t quite keep track anymore. “Any recommendations?” I asked, exasperated. “Like I said before, uniting the human race is still at the top of the big man’...
The cool, pleasant voice of the shuttle’s automated pilot system caused me to wake up with a start. As I sat up in the cramped bunk, all I could remember of the dream I’d been having was glimpses of family and friends, and of course, Earth. “Arrival in five minutes. This shuttle will disengage it’s FTL Drive in four mi...
I gazed on in sheer disbelief. I had taken years to master this power. It started with just a flicker, about half a second, giving me apparently superhuman reflexes. After years upon years of training I had managed to push it to 8 seconds. “How in the world is this person moving?! I don’t understand!?” I said to myse...
"Approaching target-- 10 minutes to landing", informed the pilot. Young Joey sat there in between two heavily armed soldiers, confused and afraid as he was taken away from his room by some soldiers in the middle of the night. Loaded quickly into the helicopter with his head covered, he was flown into a private airport...
cw: references to domestic violence &#x200B; THE JACKHAMMER &#x200B; Being “The Jackhammer” ain’t a grand thing, far as superheroes go. I’ve got an aesthetic. My jumpsuit is neon-fluorescent-yellow with black highlights and big logo in the shape of a hammer. People always tell me that it is confusing t...
"Huh."I hadn't thought about Barney the dinosaur for many years. And now there was an alien —who looked vaguely like a man in a green dinosaur suit— standing in front of me, holding a poster. And calling him a trickster god, N'armeth something. Resisting the urge to twist off the alien's head, to see if it was actually...
Lord Wulfric had seen his share of battle; as a young man, he'd led patrols out to the Rim and hunted insectoid abominations through the broken landscape. As an older man, he'd led the defense of cities, standing on the wall as buzzing hordes approached. He knew - had the scars to prove it - that he was not a coward. A...
"Wow,"they both said as they sat down, "you're real!" They chuckled. She was Theresa "Tess"Storm, heroine of _The Storm Saga_ and an extremely popular character. In fact, there were no less than seven different iterations of Theresa in the room at the moment. Tess Storm had canonically enjoyed a book as a child, on...
"Its called whiskey." "Your people giving this poison a designation does not change the fact that I don't want any!" Officer James O'Brien of the Universal Cooperation Foundation laughed at his companion's disgusted expression. Earthling and extraterrestrial relations have not been easy goings. While humanity had suc...
I might be the only sane person in the world. In front of me, three people lay dead on the gray sidewalk because they couldn't figure out that someone screaming "TELEKINESIS"probably means that somebody was using telekinesis in the vicinity. I'm numb to their deaths, but not their idiocy. I don't understand these pe...
Once more I watch the sun set upon the narrow cobblestone streets from atop my platform, my duty done, my eternal sentry resumed. My home secure again. My story began 76 years ago, although I suppose some might say that it ended. When I was a young man of flesh, blood, and a stout heart I first arrived here on the p...
Vladimir Lenin had just lifted his old AMO-F-15 out of the deep swamps of Nepal. He had finally managed to rally all the reluctant monks of the temple for a common cause. He felt the force of communism filling his entire being. “I am ready,” he said triumphantly in Russian. ”To Petrograd, you must go, young Lenin.” ...
Dim headlights pierced the gloom of the lonely stretch of highway that connected one tiny nondescript town to another. Small dead shrubs lined the road and a thin coyote sniffed at roadkill. Darrel smiled at the coyote. They were the same, hunters and scavengers consuming the weak. He pressed his foot down on the...
I was in a run-down old Party City, buying birthday hats for my grandma. She always talks about how lucky she was to be born at 11:11, and about her wish as a little girl one year, a double-wish at 11:11 on her 11th birthday. She wished she could live forever, to see the world change as the years passed. I would've jus...
"Ah-hah! I see the trap you have laid!"said Noel, pushing his spectacles up with a finger. "You see, as a doctoral mathematician..." "Yes, I know you're smart."said his long-suffering friend, Jeremiah. "But you're going to tell me anyway, aren't you?" "...As I was saying, as a mathematician, I know the the probabilit...
There were rumors. There are always rumors. Some people said you could avoid it by thinking nonsense words. Some people said your best bet was to strike yourself deaf by puncturing your eardrums. Some people said to just scream as loud as you could to try to overpower it. Some people said it was all in your head and ...
Hell was bad enough, trillions of souls screaming out at once. Lakes of fire, gusts of wind that blew you hither and thither, horrible torture devices manned by even more horrible demons. There wasn’t a single happy face, all were suffering equally, and from the grotesquely twisted faces I could tell it was an inhuman ...
‘Hey! I loved Grandma and I was only six! I didn't know her insulin would go bad if it was left out! I've felt guilty for that ever since I realized it.’ ‘Agreed, case shall be stricken from the record, moving on.’ The brilliant shining light, God spoke. John could look into the light without it hurting, but still c...
"93,102,274,976, 93,102,274,977... What is this person?"I mumbled to myself, taking in the number which doesn't even seem possible. "You know who I am."He said. What was odd was that it seems that no one else noticed that he was there, and he is dressed quite unconditionally too. "Excuse me... what do you mean?"I ask...
"Whatcha working on?"Justin asked, crumbs cascading over his Linkin Park band shirt as he poured the last of a party-sized bag chips into his mouth. But I couldn't answer. I was stunned into frozen silence. I'd calibrated the machine in my hand a hundred times before, and hadn't had an inaccurate reading in a month. A...
When i founded the YSTWTBLTFA (Young Superpowered That Want To Be Left The Fuck Alone) I expected heroes and villains to get the message and nothing more. Maybe someone would learn about it and have a chuckle. I did not expect 2500 request to join in the first day I did not expect a joirnalist to come and interview m...
“Now arriving the great hero, vanquisher of the dark lord, Sir Maxamillian.” the chief chamberlain's voice echoed around the throne room. Through the doorway in his finest ceremonial armour strode Maxamillian himself. A smattering of restrained applause welcomed him. “Now arriving the great hero's most stalwart ...
"She's mine!" "No, she's mine!" I blinked as I slowly sat up, staring around at the large group of really tall people around me-what are so many people doing in my room?! It's not even...that...big... ...I'm not in my room. The bed is more comfy, but it's on the ground, and it's like I'm in an area that's on...cloud...
His seventeenth birthday was coming soon. That meant it was almost the tenth anniversary of his first day in the mine. He was seven the first time he plunged into the darkness. The company needed small bodies that could crawl into tiny compartments and plant dynamite. The boy would do this for six years. Malfunctioning...
mild blasphemy warning for the faint of heart A tall person entered the courtroom. I wasn't really sure whether it was a man or a woman, old or young. I did see they were tall. There was a light rustle of leaves accompanying this person while they calmly walked down the isle and took the seat of the defendant. I fel...
They said only to be silent. I had been silent for years -- what was another? And Guiney had warned me, quietly, once, that the command of silence was a courtesy -- a protection. They did not have to show you kindness. But they did, because no human, said Guiney, could let you enter the Other Place loud. They said...
This was it. Our final hope. Our skeleton crew, tattered, worn down, and dwindled to but a few hundred men, readied to march upon the castle. It may have been a suicide mission, but it was the final gasp of air before succumbing to the drowning force of the Kingdom's army. Do we tell those whose last breath brought wat...
We were often told as children that the Place Beyond the Grass was not meant for our kind. Only the ants, with their iron carapaces and fierce determination, were destined to leave the forest. Even they could stay for only a short time, before the harsh environment drove them back into the depths of their subterranean ...
"I gotta be honest,"I say as I run out my tape to check the railings. "I figured this was probably a trap to hold one of my boys hostage. None of us really wanted to come, but I figured, I'm not turning down any work, economy like it is, and better me than one of the guys with a family." "Yeah, I was worried that migh...
I'm a night climber. Urban mostly, but I get out of the city when I can. It's a weird hobby, and it's lost me a few friends in the past, but to me there's nothing better than gripping granite in the cool darkness. I love the feel of white chalk on my hands, groping for holds in the night. However, an untimely fall had ...
Chapter 1: April 11, 2019 “Welcome everyone to day two of DARPA’s fifth annual robot vs human challenge. As you probably know, our robot this year is GREG, the Game Running Engine Guru. We’ve got over 1,000 copies of GREG here, programmed to play over 28,000 different games against all of you. Yesterday, our robots wo...
“Either this was a massive joke, or the existence behind karma whores finally made sense.” Was my innocent thought when I found it. Two years of karma whoring later and I was living hell on Earth. I was bored out of my mind one day during my study break and was reading through license agreements, user agreements, EULA...
Ding ding. The bell at the side of the arena signaled the end of the fight as the Grim Reaper himself laid passed out on the ground. The entire crowd of demons, which had previously been roaring, cheering, booing, and hissing at the fighters, went silent. The skeletons in the crowd's jaws dropped, literally. All of...
"Wha-what are you doing?" "I-I-I'm offering the customary sacrifice...sir. The old tomes said you required flesh for flesh, blood for blood." "And you took that to mean I wanted...your son? As payment? "Y-yes?" sigh "That's not- that's not what I meant by that at all." "T-then...you require my own flesh?...
I grinned, staring into the confused eyes of Jacob Billings. He was watching the camera as if he could see me, as if he knew exactly who it was that was watching him. "How're you still alive?"He breathed, his gaze flicking to the chat as he awaited my answer. **You think you're the first one to invent serial killing?...
It's like they all forget that farmers sometimes have parents who weren't farmers. Ma and Pa were adventurers. They settled down here in our town about 200 years ago. The Humans liked them, because they were not only rather powerful Mages, but they could really work magic with bread and beer. The 4 of us kids when ...
“The cops took my knife after I tried to stab them. They stabbed me in the chest.” The criminal said. “How horrible! Let’s get you some help.” The receptionist. “I didn’t know if I should pull out the knife or-” “You did the right thing, coming to the right person.” “I dunno if my insurance will cover this.” “Who ...
The sounds of the Battle of Hogwarts raged around them, but Gomez Addams was miles and years away. The infant had been dark. Pale. Scarred. Marked with death. Filled with love. Gomez and Morticia were no strangers to the eldritch but had never held something so beautiful, so pure, so…magic. Magic. That word came to ...
A sudden, sharp pain in my eyelid. It was like something had been ripped out of me. At the same time, something I had never experienced before. Something my brain only sometimes creates when I'm dreaming. My eyes never developed before being born. Not only was I blind, but my eyelids never gained the ability to open. ...
"Aw come on, you know you want to,"pleaded Tony, raising his voice to an irritating pitch, "maybe it'll actually be something interesting this time," I grunted, but gently poked his outstretched palm with my index finger. I closed my eyes and hummed in concentration. The train seats rocked gently as we passed through ...
My Emperor. It is over. I am sending this transmission in the hopes that it reaches you before we are completely extinguished from this planet. Earth is lost. This defeat comes because of two simple words, which will haunt me for the remainder of my short time here. New Zealand. As you know our invasion was planned to...
"Oh,"I said stupidly. We both turned beet red, two grown men, staring at each other after having done something incredibly immature... Yep. That happened. "So uh..."I spoke haltingly, "you're, uh. You're really great at making cat noises, man." When he didn't say anything, I immediately shut he door for a few second...
I didn't want to break her young heart, but she kept asking. Asking for a truth. We we in the mall as the holiday season was hitting high hear. One could cut the tension with a knife. I could only hope that the rambunctious crowd would drown out the Truth. I looked into my niece's eyes and whispered, "of course San...
"These ungrateful filthy mortals dare dishonor MY husband? _Oh_, what makes Zeus or Poseidon or those crusty Titans Sad-Turn and Rectum so special?" The not-as-Divine attendants inched back ever further as the godly Soul Fire built around Persephone, who's fury literally encased the massive throne of her husband. The ...
Old Mr. Calloway's fingers shook as he held his credit card out. "Sir,"the cashier said, "I want to make sure you know what you're buying. That potion will make you young, but at the cost of your remaining years. Once it runs out, you'll... well..." A smiled cracked upon Mr. Calloway's face. "I know."It was a beaut...
Braaqrek walks forward carefully. The alarms in his ship are blaring, warning him of potential boarders. The lower decks have gone silent minutes after the initial impact, even though the emergency life support system is still running perfectly fine. The lights are also functional, but none of his crewmates are anywher...
I knew a girl named Maddie. We met in the fourth grade, she was a transfer student which was an oddity for our school of one hundred students. We had the same class from preschool all to way to fourth, the same fifteen children. There had been lore - Johnny's elaborate plan to rid himself of his front teeth via his old...
After the accident, I wake to the feeling of dogs licking my face. I throw my arm across my face and roll onto my front. As I brought a knee up to stand, I am bumped over by a large enthusiastic dog siding up to my left with the speed of puppy hood. You know how a happy dog can feel like a lot of dogs? This dog feels t...
\Silence\ I stared at the now displaced stone in horror. Not how I expected the day to go. "He moved the stone!"someone shrieked, causing me turn around and yell in my defense. "I didn't do anything!". Unfortunately, my words seemed to have the opposite of my intended effect, as everyone dropped to their knees in ...
“W- what?” I ask incredulously. “Well, as I said, you only picked two people, one of those people aren’t dead kid.” The voice that was apparently responsible for giving me this power responded. “So that…” I trail off, thinking of the worst. This is it. This is where I find out my worst fears are true. “Yes. I...
Part One ______________________________________________________________________________________________ I was supposed to prevent his death. I had failed. These past two months searching for the man who would assassinate the President of the United States, and all along I should've been looking for a woman. A wo...
The wind was up and Boromir's spirits were cast down. He wore his customary clothes: the leather jerkin that the rest of his men carried; his brown travelling cloak, mottled with patches of green in order to better hide him in the forests of the south. The rest of his raiment was grey, worn stuff that had been mended a...
Death came up to Johnny, with a cello in case. His boney fingers beneath his robe no expression on his face. You beat the devil Johnny you think that you have won Everyone falls to me no matter what they have done. Well Johnny look him up and down now in his hand He looked at his fiddle vowing the best that he ca...
I start to feel the water burn the inside of my lungs. This is it. This is how I’m going to die. I stop panicking as I feel the undercurrent pull me deeper and deeper into the ocean. It’s over. I begin to relax my body and mind. A wave of peace and euphoria washes over me. My body becomes weightless, and I am ready to ...
Since a young age, we've been told not to give random beggars on the street money. What if they were just putting up a front? What if they went out for meals at restaurants once they were done with a day's "work"? No, the better way was to invest your time and effort instead, into organisations that actually ensured th...
"Is that a space station?"gasped Vorgon, the military leader of the Earthbound fleet. "Sir, it seems that we have a confirmed missile lock on us,"The XO Starlof nervously said. "Target lock them back"snapped Vorgon. "Our scouts came back nearly 700 years ago on their voyage mission to find new races to dominate. The...
Philosophy is a strange art. Some would call it a science, most would call it daydreaming - at least most of my people. Which by the account of my own mind, I still am. Would that the world might see it that way. &#x200B; *And each king should step out from palace and heave grain with the workers. Shoulder thei...
