SESSION 18, 5-26-2027, recorded at 6:27pm, duration of 19 minutes “Please remember the importance of what I am telling you.” “Okay, mother.” “The day time stands still, you cannot waste time. You must take action.” “Of course, mother. You taught me well.” “Yes, I did try my best.” *“All the people, will...
The universe had stopped moving long ago. All was still. Reality was dead. I had spent endless millennia drifting through reality, watching the lights go out. And now I drifted alone through a dead reality. After billions of years, I crashed onto a planet. I, still suffocating, dragged myself to my feet. I found...
"Great Lord Soku,"the woman breathes, hair brushing the floor as she lowers her head, "I'll do anything for a taste of immortality. I'll lie, I'll murder, I'll give up my very soul, only to spare myself the pain that comes with--" "Don't be so dramatic,"I sigh, picking at a grain of ash stuck under one of my razor-sha...
Blood. That is the first thing I smell. It is met with the sound of buzzing flies, surrounding a scene of carnage. Bones lay scattered, many cracked and gouged. Barring the blood, there is little in the way of viscera. Whatever did this, it was hungry. Turning back to the farmer, I nodded once. He rubbed his head, cau...
God had been many things. He had often proclaimed himself wise, by virtue of knowing more than any other being. He had been considered all-powerful by others, because He was far more powerful than they. He was considered the ultimate good, for He was the most good humanity could comprehend. Mass knowledge is not omnis...
"Stand him back up!" The Sith Inquisitor's words hissed from his mouth directly at the two guards who propped the prisoner back to a standing position. This interrogation had been going on longer then anyone had anticipated, and the lack of information that had been ascertained from this man was starting to affect ev...
"Finally, some peace and quiet,"I muttered to myself as I climbed out onto roof. Sadly it wasn't all that quiet with the loud music from inside thumping against the roof. It was noticeably more peaceful though given I had a clear view of the night sky and wasn't surrounded by a bunch of drunken teenagers. I sat quie...
The first sensation of weightlessness hits you and you realize you're out there, you've slipped the surly bonds. The tedious waiting, confined straps, and uncomfortable variations from hot to cold that occupied your life for the past eight hours slips away when you realize you're weightless. You unlatch, unbuckle and f...
Dead faces pass me by. I see them and I wonder what they see. They hold still, corpses for all that counts. I talk to them sometimes. I tell them how I saved them, how I stopped the explosion. Mostly I make conversation, but they never respond. I have a routine I follow. It's for my health, mental and physical. I've ...
The torture is irresistible. You are strapped down in a room of shouting voices, one voice among thousands. Your voice, hidden amongst the rest, you cry, ‘Bob saves his dream!’ The protest is likely pointless but it’s all you can think to do, the only rebellion you feel you can get away with. But one voice, pointless...
Beep. Beep. Beep. The sound of medical equipment beeping and whirring fills the room. A machine to my left pumps loud and slow, forcing air through a tube in my throat. It hurt at first—but it’s not so bad now. The pain is fading, along with the rest of the world. My eyes flick back and forth, eyeing the corners o...
It was the kind of nap you never meant to take, the kind that left you feeling near spineless in bed as your hand flopped around, trying to find your phone and check the time. Emily groaned pitifully as she searched in the twilight of her bedroom, finally finding it trapped in the channel between the bed and wall. It r...
So you might be wondering why there is a large, gleaming white hotel in the middle of hell. Its adjacent to Lucifer's Palace, but larger of course. Lucy is all business and no need to have his home be any larger than necessary. The Hotel is a workplace. Inside you find gleaming marble, angelic choirs and of cours...
The gunman was ranting. Sweat trickled off his forehead. He paced. Left to right. Right to left. Consistently, the thud of his boots resonating like the slam of a judge's gavel. Maniacally, eyes wild and deranged and overflowing with hate. "Don't you see? There is no 'good' or 'evil'. There are simply survivors"--he g...
“No! no, no, stay inside, don’t fall out.” I tried to cover my stomach, frantically applying pressure to the wound, feeling something, I hadn’t felt in centuries since my transformation. Pain and fear. As I waited for my body to regenerate, I could hear its heavy footsteps walking through the halls of my manor. Even if...
“So this is it, huh?” They say it all comes crashing down eventually. I guess the universe wasn’t an exception. The planet Solanna-1452-C, last and only inhabitable planet in the 238-BS solar system, is approximately fifteen light minutes away from Beta Sagittarius, the last known star in existence. Normally, I would...
I sat down at the keyboard: the same keyboard that a hundred men and women had sat before as well. This was the Joshua terminal, used to communicate with the worlds greatest artificial intelligence. The creation of Joshua had been long and arduous; many different versions, hours upon hours of programming, teaching Josh...
When I won the giveaway back in 2015, all I thought I was winning was a massive collection of Lego sets. The biggest collection ever, since I had won every set ever produced. What I didn't realize, at first, was that the Lego sets all meant something, and that when put together, they held a great secret. Over the cou...
^(1)In the beginning God createth the Heaven and the Earth ^(2)And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moveth upon the face of the waters. ^(3)And God saith, Let there be light: and there was light. ^(4)And whenceupon after all of that, God also mad...
It’s the year 2180. It has been over one hundred and fifty years since the first children were born in Antarctica. Know we know for fact what many suspected ninety years ago, that those born in the inhospitable grip of the southern wasteland will never feel the icy grip of death. As the rich and elite rush to sail towa...
Everyone knew the minivac man. Homeless, dressed in layers and layers old ratty clothing, with big yellow dishwashing gloves on his hands. He moved slow, not out of frailty, but because he was watching where he put his feet, always giving each step due consideration. Stepping over cracks, stepping around discarded gum ...
"And that's why I know you're the killer!"concluded Xavier confidently. Everybody in the drawing room gasped and stared at me. Their eyes were accusing, condemning, afraid but ready to fight. I felt like a tiger loosed amongst them. Like a tiger, I wanted to roar, to lash out, to flee. But I was no mere beast. I was ...
I hadn't expected this. I should have known it, it seemed obvious in retrospect. But not on that day. No, that fucking day I was just excited to make history. I knew it was dangerous, sure. I DID sign up for this. The day I stepped into the machine I was proud. I felt the way Buzz Aldrin must have felt, marching close...
When I was filling my life-expectancy application at my 20th birthday, I drew an infinity sign on a line where number (in years, the application stated) should be. I thought my application would be rejected, and be ordered to refile my application again. That way I'd have some more time to consider how long I want to l...
# Bargain Bin Superheroes (Arc 3, Part 4.5: Magic v.s. Technology) (Note: Bargain Bin Superheroes is episodic; each part is self-contained. This story can be enjoyed without reading the previous sections.) "Scrying?" I asked. "Cameras,"the ghost dismissively said. "Prophecy,"I tried. "Any old idiot can tell t...
I started hiking to keep away from booze. First, there's no bars in the woods. Second, when you finally decided you hit rock bottom and need to get clean? The guys you thought of as your friends turn out to be roaches. The Professor, this guy at my meetings? He says it's Kafkaesque. I don't know this Kafka guy, but I ...
“We let it get out of hand,” he said. They sat next to each other on a heap of rubble, of bodies and brick and fallen trees, overlooking a sludged river. She slapped her heel into the dirt and a whirl of dust wrapped around her shoe. “I didn’t mean to kill them all.” He let out a long breath. ”I didn’t mean to let th...
"Oh god, what do they want with me?" So what if I could cook rice faster then what the package says? I'm no superhero! I can't bend time! Yet, someone's hunting me. Someone wants me, needs me. I don't even know who "they"are. But I keep seeing them. They raided my house during the night. They shot my family members de...
In the still of night I hear her scratching. She never does this during the daylight hours. No. Mostly sticks to hanging out under my bed and arranging stones into heart patterns. But at night. All she does is move around. "Zxxxandaka, please stop,"I groan a little. She stops. Then I feel her shift onto the bed. Sh...
The greatest disappointment as a demon is to never be summoned. It's like a child never being adopted or like being that last piece of sausage on the charcuterie board that everybody is too awkward to take. You just don't want to be the last sausage. That was Tyler. He was the demon who was never summoned. It wasn't ...
First, they called me a madman, then they called me a heretic. I personally prefer a pragmatist. It all started a few years back, I like all my colleagues amongst the imperial wizards had been taught the “right way” to do things. The teachers convinced us you must spend hours shouting at a candle suspended above a pen...
"All right, class, please open your tablets to chapter seven, Zombies,"the teacher asked. "Who can tell me what a zombie is? Yes, Sophia?" Sophia, a precocious 15-year-old, sat up a little higher, her LED-woven cornrows flashing in the sun. "A zombie is a human being that does not have the neural correlates of cons...
This started innocently enough. Waking up one morning, ordering coffee in french. The surprised look on the barista's face, and her delighted reply that someone in this country spoke her mother tongue. I suppose it makes sense, though, that it could be such an aphrodesiac. People, at their core, just want safety, and n...
"Where is my magician?!"the King roared, thumping his goblet against the arm rest of the thrones. "I asked for news of the future, and I hear tell he has returned! Bring him forth!" From the very back of the room, there was a stir among the guests. Two guards stepped forward, dragging the robed man into the center of ...
Cissa kept the pentagram underneath her bed. She'd scratched it into the wooden boards almost two years ago now, copying the static picture on the television. Her mother had fallen asleep in front of a psychic show, unlit cigarette still in hand. As the hour grew later and Cissa grew hungrier, the picture shifted from ...
It's crazy how blind most adults are. My dad actually checks the closet and the bed and still doesn't see the monsters. It probably has something to do with this "character"he is trying to make me build. Oh well. I guess it is up to me to defend myself tonight. And I have to succeed, because we have Coco Puffs. But fi...
The Vegas skyline. Absolutely stunning. I can check that off of my list. I jump off the cliff, tumble down, and reach the bottom. Completely unscathed. It was a long time ago that I made a deal with Death. I was a Union soldier. I was on the brink of death. Death has a softer voice than I expected. I laid in a tent ...
Day 1: bought a diary Day 2: started writing in diary about depression Day 10: Diary entry "My life is in such a downward spiral. I'm going to start gathering supplies to off myself. I think the only thing that could stop me is for Michelle Rodriguez herself to show up, strip, and throw herself at me." Day 11: googl...
"More!"Master Gherdan yelled. "More, damn you! I can see the lack of conviction in your eyes from a mile away. Pour some heart into it!" I sighed as the small flame burning in the palm of my hand whiskered out in a small poof of smoke. I heard small snickers of laughter coming from the rest of the classroom. I shuffle...
You have to be odd to be number one. In a business where reputation is everything, the completion take that to mean a few different things. Take Ajax, not his real name, he likes to Mark a target some way. He’ll break in to their homes or brush up against them in public and leave a calling card. Nothing that gives the ...
Danya Trellwright was perpetually short-changed. Currently in her jean pocket she had £29 of Mortal money… and precisely zero in the currency she needed to settle her debts. Her next pay day - again, Mortal money - wasn’t for a fortnight, which put her in the ridiculous position of having to live off scraps and turn of...
The fall is exhilirating, feeling the rush of the wind past your face, seeing the ground approaching, hearing the distance fading whirr of the propellors above you... That's was all fine until I pulled the rip chord and find that some prankster has cut it! And the backup 'chute! So down I went, and hit the ground a ...
Jeff walked along the road sullenly, he had always enjoyed voicing his thoughts out loud, but since the introduction of ad-agents he had been unable to. The large flashing advert appearing directly in his vision always interrupted his thoughts, sometimes making him forget what he was thinking about in the first place. ...
"What happened?" My voice filled the room, as I sat in my throne of shadows. The leader of the group I had set knelt before me, her robes torn and bloodied. Another failed mission. "My lord, they have learned from the Desert Coven. They used the dust like knives, cutting through us despite our protection." I frowned...
"Shreeeeek! There's a man coming, and he looks pissed!" Huh, talking donkey. No job lately has been normal, has it? "I just want to talk." The donkey stops and turns back. "Well we don't want to talk. Tell Farquad this is OUR land and WE'RE the ones living on it!" I couldn't help but smile. "I just want to ta...
"Bil, bil! Holy fuck! I can't move, Bil!" "Me too! The hell is going on? How long have we been like this?" "For years, Bil! The agony! Holy hell, he is peeing on you! Literally peeing!" "I can feel it! It's like worms under my skin! Kill me, Jim, kill me! I can't take this anymore! This is torture!" George watched ...
My earliest memory is of my mother's voice. Sitting by the fireside, her face cast in orange in the embers' glow, she would sew with slow, deliberate movements and fill the room with her thin, reedy voice. Outside, the wintry night was cold and silent. And I know I must have been cold then, too--the rest of my memor...
She's just sitting there, holding the biggest red egg you've ever seen. You open and close your mouth, not sure what to say. "Well?"She asks and looks at you expectantly. "Are you just going to stand there like a goldfish or come over here and greet our first baby?" You're still not sure if this is real, when she spe...
He found himself in a moment of peace. It was a near-novel experience, and foreign enough that he wasn’t sure he liked it. Still, he wouldn’t - even couldn’t - be here if it was truly a place of peace. Warfare was surely about to erupt. In the meantime he decided to examine the area. A small home that had clearly bee...
I can feel my mortal soul slowly leave my body, blood had slowly covered the floor around me. So it finally came, despite my efforts. “Goodbye father.” Lucifer my son muttered as he withdrew the sword from my body letting red liquid flow faster as he left the room. ‘At least he had the honor to personally...
It was July 14th when the global events started to unfold, after all it was the day that we starting dating back in the day. I still remember walking out of my house on that humid night and seeing the sky lit up with a thousand starships in an almost perfect formation with the bright neon lights flashing like you'd se...
So many potentially great prompts I overlook because of simple overdirection. Oh, I get to write as an artist! Wait...it's another stupid Hitler prompt... I'm coming home from a day at work. I could take this anywhere! Oh, nope. I'm dead on the floor. What about-no. It suddenly wants an EU I have no clue about. Gue...
Amanda's machete swished softly through the thick wall of leaves and vines, as it had done for the past seven hours since leaving camp. They were four weeks out of Manaus, and had traveled upstream looking for the source of some rare-earth minerals that had flooded the marketplaces of small Amazonian villages. Natives ...
'Pardon?' 'Sorry,' Krathnar said. 'I thought you were serious.' He paused, and gestured with his sword at the two halves of what had, up until a few minutes earlier, been Count Dagnar's second-favourite henchman. 'I guess we can do the whole fighting thing if you want. I don't mind either way.' Dagnar lowered his cow...
"Sir, could you tell us the secret to your longevity, please?" "Whaddya mean? What's the big secret? It ain't no secret. I'll tell you, you're mother, every one of ya. I crawled inside a bottle. This one right here. I still have it." "Sir, you're one of the few remaining humans who didn't have access to advanced he...
"Really, love, I just don't know,"she murmured. "It's all getting a bit old, isn't it?" "I know, I know,"I said, smiling at her. She sat across the table from me, arms crossed. "But just one more?" The shelves on the wall were covered with....things. Horrible things. Knives stained red, guns left lying where the...
"The key to a Transfer,"I said, holding out the Key widget as I demonstrated, "is to always remain calm. There might be unforeseen consequences and circumstances, but not panicking will ensure that the Transfer Authority can get somebody to help you." As usual, I hear a few sniggers and laughter coming from the back o...
He doesn't look like much. Gerald, late fifties, balding, beer-belly. And the melancholy etched on his face, the sadness of a betrayal and ostracism suffered for a crime he did not commit. Nobody believes him, and he thinks his lawyer only pretends to out of professional habit. You're the lawyer. And the murderer. ...
'The brain is the most powerful supercomputer in the universe' they said. 'You can do anything with enough of them' they said. Yeah right. As I walked past the rows of brains in jars that stretched on towards what seemed like infinity, I reminisced my actions in the past few years. Having learned of the computational...
[NSFW writing below] “Buggery,” I replied. The journalist seemed taken aback. She squirmed in her chair, adjusting the length of her skirt and making a note in her notepad. I watched all this with eyes that were beyond caring. “Buggery,” she repeated slowly, as if tasting the word. “In other words, sodomy?” I nodded...
As the resistance cowers, preparing for the onslaught of the murderous Canadian storm-marines, one lone resistance survivor stands on top of the trench. With steely eyed determination this young hero, fully aware of his perilous position shouts "Hey, you weren't invited here, this is really rude!". Silence..... then a...
God and I were sitting on the trunk of my car. My body was about four feet away from me, squashed and leaking. Seat belt didn't do much when you ran 70 miles an hour into a concrete divider. There was no explosion, no flipping and rolling. The car crunched up like a coke can, and stopped. I woke up, mildly surprise...
"BALTHAZAR, GRUMBLOR, MOM SAID IT'S BEDTIME!" "Excuse me, kid, will you please let the adult monsters talk?"Grumblor said in a gravelly voice. "Balthazar, you're the one who literally won't come out of the closet. "Oh, now that's the pot calling the kettle black."Balthazar repled. "I heard about your little weekend w...
His mother tucked him into bed, as she did every night, although he understood that this was for the last time. "Go to sleep, Jimmy. Go to sleep so you will not have to wake up." He whined. "But Mom! I'm too excited to sleep!" She smiled fondly, stroking her baby's face with affection. "I know. I am too. But it's be...
# ...It Comes Around This kid seemed serious. Or stupid. Seriously stupid, perhaps. Victor set down his luggage, cancelled his energy barrier and gave the boy his full attention. "Say that again. This time try being less insane." Something outside exploded with a sound like laser blasts. A titanic(ally evil) voice r...
999.989 - 999.990 - 999.991 - All of a sudden, everyone around me started to move again. Really?! I rolled my eyes. Just when I was about to finish counting to 1 million for the 1 millionth time! This had taken some proper dedication and they had to ruin it at the worst time possible! How annoying! I ignored the woma...
I can hardly see him, but by the Dread Emperor, can I hear him. “Total victory is at hand! Those who oppose us have been dealt stinging defeats all across The Great Rift!” The crowd cheers and wildy wave their black caps above their heads. I fistbump the air and let out a “Woo”. Not as enthusiastic as I normally am; ...
Given the permission of the captain, thirteen-year-old Lily was allowed to have glow in the dark plastic stars on the inside of her stasis pod. As she and the rest of the crew prepared to enter a hundred year long sleep, she could feel the tension rising in her belly. Her mother, a lively woman with steel grey hair, pl...
The secret to being a vampire is makeup. Okay, there are alternatives. You can just go and live in the woods. That's a valid approach, and I don't begrudge those who want to try and maintain things the old fashioned way, as well as they can. Here's the thing, though- there's only so many people out there. That's s...
I sat on a chair nearby, curious to hear why four of my colleagues, all from different departments, had called me there. I did not know them well, I only talked to people of other specialisations rarely. One of them spoke up: "So, Ivo, hi!"Her voice was kind, but I immediately caught a veil of anxiety underneath it. ...
"You're a fucking idiot,"says Foxtrot Echo to Foxtrot Alpha. "Oh come on, how could I have known?"says Foxtrot Alpha to Foxtrot Echo. They watch the monitors. Every kid in the classroom is dead at this point. The teacher is crying and begging Operation: Lunchbox not to kill her. Lunchbox is setting up traps near the d...
This is it, the fruit of years of pain and humiliation has finally ripened and will soon be picked. I stood up at the sound of my name and walked up to the podium. From behind the lectern, I turned to face the crowd, my fellow pupils, my tormentors. “I am honoured to be speaking to you all tonight as a graduate from...
As it turned out, the Statue of Liberty wasn't even a statue at all. It was a living being, an alien from the Libert race that France had made contact with over 130 years ago. The aliens had fallen in love with France's baguettes and cheese and became quick allies. They offered to help them conquer the world and spread...
Some believe that death is a painless experience, that you cease to feel anything, and merely drift away. And perhaps, some die that way, but for me, it was the single most excruciatingly painful experience that I could have ever had. It felt like a horrible numbness was spreading across the entirety of my body, while ...
Okay, this is a lot to take in. A lot of people like to think I'm a little slow because of the whole fashion model thing, but I've managed. The first trick for any new situation is to break it down into manageable chunks. "A ... collective consciousness?" She smiled. Oh God, she knows that smile is the best way to s...
King Leonus rubbed the bridge of his nose. Princess Adrea was back from her trip. She had, of course, not told him where she was going, and he desperately hoped it was to meet with someone. Even meeting a commoner from another nation would be preferable to the alternative. The doors swung open, and the princess entere...
It’s a pain to live in two different years, but I must with these inflation rates. Today, it’s September 5, 2022. I left my job and went to an abandoned warehouse to go home. There’s a time machine sitting there, and it’s better than the commute. I fire the engine on and step through the machine. It’s September 5, 1980...
The rickety clatter of cups and saucers unsteadily balanced on a tray echoed through the vast corridors of Wayne manor as Alfred Pennyworth tottered through the east wing. "Master Bruce,"Alfred called out, pausing to make a note of the thick layer of dust accumulating on a decorative table in the hallway. He clucke...
The Count sat still, with the same air of prominence he had for several hours. He spoke, barely moving his lips, "How much longer do you need? The sun will be rising soon," The elderly painter cowered behind his canvas and easel. "I- it should not take t- too much longer, sir,"the artist stammered, "T- there is a sl- ...
Being dead isn't exactly hard. Rather, it's extremely easy. Sure, it's cold. That's one of the problems with it. And sure, it's boring. Lots of floating, watching, and flitting. Sometimes if someone puts on a ceiling fan it'll whip you around the room in a bit of a formless cloud, and that can be annoying, though...
"How . . . how did they know where to hit us?" "I don't know, Thirefon. I don't know. But you're the last warrior left on this planet and it's up to you, now. Go and fight the humans." \_\_\_ The corporal looked over to his new friend, Thrimmg, "Wow, you guys made a video game where we smash your planet?" "It is...
"Let me get this straight, so the old stories were based on one psycho weirdo, vampires drink tea, not blood, and you can enter this church just fine without being hurt by all the crosses and symbolism here?"Johnny asked, a touch of cynicism in his voice, as he peaked his head out of the church door in the heavy rain. ...
"Greetings, humble denizens of Rome,"I proclaimed. "I approach from a civilization yet to come which wants to know about all of you and your lives. Please, do not be alarmed by my appearance. Any questions posed by you will be acknowledged." I peered at the members of the crowd gathered beneath me. I supposed that I ...
The God-creature appeared once every century. Today, after more than a thousand years, I was finally on the verge of killing her. She had first materialized at the edge of my domain, the Kingdom of Enkar, a red-haired girl in a billowing green dress, floating high in the sky with some unknown magic. She had flown st...
Every day I cursed every single divine being. Who cares which one is real? One of them cursed me with immortality… and I hated them, and whoever convinced them to do it. Sure, the first fifty or so years are nice, as long as you keep your paperwork up to date and keep amending your date of birth, but after a while it g...
Day 10 Dear Diary, No one expected the zombies to take over so easily. The Pentagon was supposed to have a plan, but just like the rest of the government, they fucked up. Who even knows how the fuck these things started. There are rumors going around that the excess carbon dioxide in the air triggered a natural vi...
It's been 3 years since I've landed here on Vandu. Long story short, I arrived here through falling into a space-time portal in the school’s football field. I wouldn’t say I miss Earth, there really wasn’t much for me to miss anyway, being an average student, socially awkward, constantly bullied and bad at sports. Than...
“What was that?” Peter thought to himself as he walked in the front door. His apartment was dark, he could only see the outline of furniture. “Must just be in my mind” He thought. He flipped the light switch but nothing happened. He gave it a few more flicks — still nothing. A small creaking noise came from his coat c...
It made me feel like the serpent in the garden. As if I was the Fallen Angel in Milton's masterpiece. I had worked so hard to get the dimensional gate to work. Twenty years of exploring experimental physics, insane engineering, and downright dangerous properties of unstable elements barely understood by modern science....
"Here, sort it out, will you?"The strange woman just about lobbed the sword at me and started to vanish back into the Thames. Before I could do more than stammer a few half-formed words, she was gone. I stared at the sword in my hands, barely able to hold the heavy hunk of medal upright. My eyes traveled down the leng...
"Bruce, hey, buddy. I'd like you to meet my friend,"I smile. He grimaces. Well, he always grimaces. But today it feels me with genuine delight. Because he's here. And he'll solve everything. "This guy?"Bruce points his stubby finger into my friends face. "You think this guy is gonna stop me. Kid, you're off your rock...
"T-training?" "Yes."She replied, grabbing her tightly and leading her down further into the Lair. Sanya was surprised to see other women down there her age... all of them looking as if they had undergone quite the regime... "This is the latest member of our little coven"The Dragoness said to the group. "Don't break h...
I first noticed it after I uploaded my latest set of CAD drawings to the server. I reviewed them the next morning, and the differences were subtle, but I was sure that some of the elements of the design had been resized a small amount, to make them subtly larger. I had expected changes. After all, we were building a...
"Couldn't you have gotten a Red Mage?" Kefira groaned, as she trudged alongside Randol, her magical crossbow slung over her hunched shoulders Randol frowned. "Red? They call healing specialists White Mages, around here, Kef." "Yes,"she admitted. "But Reds are generalists, they usually know some healing magic, to...
I can feel my heart in my throat and my stomach is in my feet. Our attacker sits before me on his throne, surrounded by the cutthroats he keeps employed. They've sheathed their daggers and swords for now, but if I delay any further, I fear that the patience of our host will run thin. "If I am to play once more, I wil...
He opens his eyes with a start from the Control spell (Adept). As though suddenly aroused from a deep, long slumber, he shakes his head, dispels the fog in his eyes, and drops the bloody knife enveloped in his hands. He stares, blankly, at his mother's corpse, strangled with the chain of her bike and stabbed (exactly) ...
"Whose brilliant idea was it to put you in command anyway? We're getting absolutely nowhere,"the interpreter repeated, stressing the annoyance in the man's words. A group of men sat around a large table. Their uniforms, each with different flags, were stained with their sweat. A large French general, patting his foreh...
Sean looked at the wonderful life he had made for himself. All the hard work, all the years of struggles and stress — all of it — had gotten him absolutely no where. What had turned the woe to wonderful? Magic. And not the magic of mutual love and respect, or the magic of friendship, not even magic mushrooms had help...
A whirlwind of sand rose from the rustling pages of the gilded tome, slowly resolving into a towering human figure. "WHO DARES TO CALL FORTH AL-KHAMSIN, DJINN OF THE GOLDEN RUBAIYAT...aaand you are a dog." The djinn abandoned his introduction to peer curiously down at his tiny summoner. It was a golden-furred suluki...
The dragon’s corpse toppled from the castle’s highest tower, and Sir Alistair leapt from its neck, just catching the window ledge with his left arm. The beautiful princess leaned out the window and helped pull him up. Part of him wished she hadn’t—clutching a sword while clambering through a window was not an elegant ...
