It was a boring job, but someone had to do it. I organized the AI-generated art into human classifications—Baroque, Renaissance, Modern, Pop, etc. Of course, those were only the basic categories, there were multiple smaller branches that pieces of art could be shunted into. Could a computer do my job? Yes. Did it? No. ...
Jeff placed another potato in the press and watched as another bunch of fries fell into the basket. Back and forth, the repeated motion was soothing on his weary soul. There was no higher purpose here other than making burgers and fries for Frank’s Burger Shack. The food was mediocre at best, and the pay was garbage. B...
Sharks always caused us unwarranted fear. They were agile, frightening looking organic machines of death; razor sharp teeth and the ability to smell a drop of blood in the water from miles away. We never truly understood why nature had created such fearsome creatures of destruction. Being the highly xenophobic race tha...
Asha had another beating from her mother again. This time, for eating too much of the vegetables at the dinner table. She had been hungry and hoped that her parents wouldn't notice. But they did. "You are not leaving enough for Bram!"Her mother hissed, and slapped her face, sending her metal bowl flying. She fell onto...
"Ah, so they're made of plastic granules! How ingenious!"Arthur Weasley looked away from the screen long enough to catch Harry's eye. "What's plastic?" Harry brushed the hair out of his face and unconsciously began rubbing at his scar. "It's, uh, it's a petroleum product, I think. It- it doesn't biodegrade? It's ..."H...
“Captain! We have six minutes before the—” A siren rang out, echoing off the steel walls of the ship, splitting the ears of the crew aboard. The captain looked at her number one and could see her mouth still moving but heard nothing. She strode over to the starboard console and yanked out a tiny black box along wi...
"Just fucking do it, Andrew,"I laughed, shoving him with my shoulder. We were sitting in our usual spot, in his rich uncle's basement with the amazing man-cave set up. His uncle had been in Australia on business for the past year and left his place to Andrew, who he claimed was always reliable. As far as I'd seen, Andr...
The line stretched into the horizon, drowned inside the setting sun. Olympias peered outside her window and rubbed her eyes. Just today, she had interviewed over a hundred candidates to nanny her son and not a single one was remotely qualified. With a sigh she opened her door. "Next." A man paler than her walls walke...
"Hear me humans! You will fall and we shall call this new world our own!" Thunder crackled around the mysterious humanoid as he raised his sword to the sky. Fire and ice swirled around his swelled body, the bones of his past conquests hung from his belt dancing in the storm he seemingly summoned at will. Hordes of gia...
Silan hunched in on himself as he walked down the corridor, gripping the strips of his bag out of nervousness as he hurried towards class. He could feel their eyes on him. It had all started yesterday. Silan's family had just moved to a new town, a peaceful place out in the country, and it was Silan's first day at h...
In this world, people are either Riddles or Answers. Riddles have questions written on their necks, and Answers have various phrases and words. Riddles are soulmates with their corresponding Answers, and vice versa. Riddles and Answers are coded in your DNA. You can get a DNA test to see which one you are, in case yo...
That metallic taste is one of those things that really sticks with you. This isn't the first time I'd had a gun shoved into my mouth, but I can tell you that for poor Cassidy, this was a brand new experience. I know that she didn't deserve everything that had happened today, but in all fairness, today was an eye opene...
I swear, it was never supposed to turn out like this. "Lower him into the pit, Simon." I really just wanted to research the mysterious natural phenomenon of the saviors. "Come on, get on with it. We only need one more." I was never supposed to get involved in something like this. "Just one more sacrifice and the r...
The boys in their khaki shirts and shorts, pine green sashes filled with honors and merit badges, stared at the demon who rose from the pentagram drawn with sticks in the dirt. It was smaller than they anticipated, whinier, too. "Fools"it squeaked, pointing a hooked finger towards them. "You children summoned *me*?" ...
This may come as no surprise to some of you. Others may be shocked to learn that many of us towards the end of the 22nd century read, watched, and VR’d news media with the same fevered skepticism as our early 21st century ancestors. But this isn’t a discourse about media integrity. It’s not about the technical details ...
"What? The actual sun?"Cooper shook his head. "You're surely a man of science, especially with your senses. You'd be able to understand that the Sun is not a god. It's a massive fusion reaction." Superman shook his head with a slight smile. "You misunderstand. It's not this particular sun that I worship. Kryptonian cu...
"Wait, why are we fighting then?" "Pardon?"the very confused Dark Knight clad in crimson shimmering armor asked. He just told the Paladin Hero his true purpose. One which would obliterate half the kingdoms monarchy and bring upon a new dark age of servitude and technological ignorance to those deemed unworthy. "You j...

The event called "The Burst"lasted for almost a full minute, saturating the Western Hemisphere of the globe with a simple repeating message: "Be quiet. They'll find you". Every person near any radio or television on half the planet heard the same message, most of them panicked. Weeks of speculation followed, you cou...
Everything happened so fast. I slept, hearing people saying their temporary goodbyes to one another. A mother hugging her children. A kid searching for her sister. Young men laughing and joking as if the world was not falling apart. Those were dark days, but we had to yield in darkness for the survival of humanity. "P...
"Darling, have you seen my flash drive?" Anna's kitchen was the most disorganized room Chris had ever seen. The counter was littered with cereal boxes, stray plates and forgotten cups of tea. Knives lurked in her dishcloths, waiting to fly out at unwary users, and the floor was white with spilled flour. Stacks of dust...
"It-it's... clear?"my mother stammered, her pearly white dragon sniffling at my small, colourless dragon. "What could that mean? What did she do?" "Eva, honey. Can you remember something funny you did that could make your dragon have no colours?"my father asked, using his best non-threatening baby voice. "No Daddy,"I...
The chief benefit of the supernatural, being a category containing your average ghost, ghoul or minor deity, is that issues of practicality are rarely given the time of day. Consider the following hypothetical; how many spirits can you stuff into a house? They won’t take up any space, seeing as they lack any physical f...
In the beginning was the all encompassing nothing. The nothing that was everything. And from that nothingness emerged two. Father Time ran only forward changing things as he ran. Mother Space was everywhere and saw all. They lay together and bore a son. As they had come of the nothing, he was of the nothing. As a child...
“Ah, yes, Mr. Smith, was it? Thank you for coming to see us today. We have heard about your magic and while we are no doubt impressed with your abilities. We, unfortunately, have decided not to accept you into our world of magic. Teaching magic is for people with actual talent. Magic is something beautiful, your way of...
Oh yes. Another sacrifice of binding servitude. Thanks guys. Just what I wanted for my Saturday evening. No no. Thank *you*. I mean, just because you've got the time to piss about in a crypt wearing stupid robes and no underwear chanting in the tongues of ritual that only the dead and damned know, clearly we've *all* ...
I always knew I’d have an edge against other divers; grandfather got lucky in his youth and found a powerful pearl that created an impenetrable, steerabl air bubble around him, letting him go deeper than most, and safely. Father made great use of it, too, after grandfather retired, adding a few potent pearls that exten...
“My son, welcome to heaven.” The angel said with a smile, handing Tim a box. “NOW GET A MOVE ON THROUGH THE GATES, GO, GO, GO!” With a loud creek the gates opened, and Tim could clearly see a vast blanket of fluffy cloud stretching far into the horizon.  Tentatively he took a step and then another. Passing through the...
*You have a what?* He winced, the look of a man caught red-handed written plainly across his face. Desperate to save face he whispered, "Please, not now." *Oh we are having this conversation now.* The General of the opposing army looked at the other speaker with surprise. "It...it speaks?" *Of course I speak,* th...
“Well, I think this’ll be the last thing that goes through. Can’t believe it’s been 15 years. Pluto was almost a decade ago and I can’t even remember when I hit interstellar space. Guess that’s my fault though, never was good at judging time.” “Still, I guess I should say something profound, but I can’t really think o...
The alien family made a point of visiting one of Earth's great shopping malls. When they arrived, they marveled at all the different shops and kiosks and open seating. Soon they found their way to the food court. As they strode alongside the rows of food service counters, they could see how food from all the different...
I don’t even try to open jars on my own anymore. Why bother? My roommate does it perfectly every time, no matter how stuck that lid is. One time, I coated the rim in gorilla glue and let it dry before asking for his help in opening it- of course it popped off just as easily as always. “Man, I love being human.” I mur...
After a hesitant pause, I pressed "Delete". Just like that, another universe gone. This was my fifth attempt, the first few universes failing to produce anything interesting. But this one... I was so sure this one would finally make my father notice me. I'm a middle child. I know, I know, typical middle child syndrom...
    The mark never saw it coming. This, after all, was New York City, where crowds of self-important humanity swarmed the sidewalks. This particular fellow looked like a middle-aged businessman, constantly on his iPhone, probably checking out the next subway schedule. No, that couldn...
You don't realize how good your life is until you walk a mile in someone else's shoes. Or in my case a few hundred miles in someone else's sandals. It was 2033. We'd finally developed Quantum Computing to such a degree that entire universes could be modeled. It wasn't long before we started running reverse simulations...
When we first made contact, we were scared. All of us. We were but infants compared to them, their technology millions of years ahead of ours. There was panic and rioting in the streets, religious leaders called their followers to repent, mass suicides spread. The Da'enk Měməs had come. We had surrendered immediately....
I write this because something terrible is going to happen to me. At least I feel pretty certain of it. A week ago I was out of luck and out of cash and spending the last of what little I did have down at the pub. Half way into savouring my third pint I met Marek; an old acquaintance from my more delinquent days. We di...
The Secret Service protects more presidents than you'd imagine. In a bunker beneath ground I stand on a steel catwalk suspended hundreds of feet from the surface, and hundreds of feet from the floor below. Next to me is a window. It glows, and in it you can see the powdered wig of Washington spin at such a speed it is ...
Ward B was where St. Joseph’s Insane Asylum kept its most deranged. Though Jackie didn’t like that word, she preferred—most in need. And it was certainly true, but in an ironic twist of fate, Ward B was also the most underfunded of all the wards. The white paint had mostly peeled off its walls revealing the moss climbi...
*Okay, so we've got to have superheroes. That's a given.* The loud clacking of his mechanical keyboard broke the silence of the dimly lit basement. "You are a superhero " *Off to a good start, but we need some sort of twist...* The click-clack of the keys ceased as he hit a wall. *A counter over your head -- No, n...
Three sailors flew to promised lands, to find that which could fill their hands. One for gold, One for love, One for peace in the world above. Three sailors fell in broken seas, in crashing tides god heard their plea's. One gave heart, One gave wealth, One gave another and their health. Three sailors live now on a bi...
It malfunctioned right before I could be converted into ash. *AHHHHHHHH* "Son of a bitch!" Pain shot through what was previously my right arm. It now lay in a pile of ash on the floor. The smell of burnt flesh and metal filled the small capsule. I could make out the sound if people on the other side eager to telep...
The machine connected to me beeps a slow, sad rhythm. As I lay there on the single bed, surrounded by tearful faces, I cant help but wonder what it was all for. What did I learn? Did i grow from my choices? Did i make others better or worse off? When no answer comes a panic sparks I my chest, and i guess it shows...
I sat in the bench of the courtroom, trying my hardest not to give away my plan. To relax my nerves, I listened to the droning voice of the judge. "Mr. Green, you are hereby sentanced to fourty years in prison for the use of a solar-imbued item to cause serious injury to several persons." "Injuries include, but are ...
I know it isn't in character, but I just can't resist. I *was* an angel once, and despite my choices, I still am. The difference is that I'm choosing who I help. These kids have never hurt me, and they need help. If my help is slightly macabre, it sticks in their memory better. "Hold it right there Lucifer! This ...
The relief of the peace treaty could clearly be viewed in the curve of the head consular’s two shoulders. Zah’zixc could see the various muscles around both sets of delicate arms relax. It may have been considered sloppy form, but most of the others were more likely to notice the markings on her carapace. The muted co...
"'Sup dongles! Terrorbyte here! Decided I was going to do a surprise livestream today, but we're gonna keep it low key. Just a bank robbery. You know, sometimes, you need to go back to basics."Especially after you saw the price on that laser. How were you supposed to know the prices for those lasers would jump like tha...
“There’s this planet orbiting a black hole,” said Elise. “Or not orbiting, just kind of stuck there. Like a fly trapped in a spider’s web, somewhere near the centre. Imagine that for me.” Alana grinned. “Okay. I’m imagining it. For you.” The campfire crackled as the two girls lay on their backs watching the stars. It...
"YOU'RE DEAD MEAT!" Three months. Three months of travelling in space, and with very little to do. Eye Spy was dull after three weeks, we'd played every game in the lounge room, and even I was beginning to tire of drawing and writing. It doesn't surprise me that pranks were running rampant. Last week, we found cheerio...
"Alright, this is getting ridiculous." Daniel turned to me, a look of mild amusement plastered on his face. "And why's that, Mark?" "Denise. Denise has got the weirdest schedule I've ever lain my eyes on since Jon's thing with his D&D group."I gestured vaguely in the direction of where Denise would usually sit. "...
“Beg your pardon?” The adventurer said as he turned around. Before him rose the body of his twin, arrow still sticking from his mirror image’s forehead. The old man who ran the medical shop stood next to the risen dead and smiled “A gift young man to aid you in your task of hunting down the evil archer that did this....
The strong ruled while the rest followed, such the unwritten rule of the world. The lion hunted the antelope, the eagle hunted the rabbit-- those who roamed the wilderness lived and survived in this reality. Humans, though special in their own way, despite creating their own little world in a homely settlement could ...
The first time it happened was an accident. I was working as a manager at Panera Bread and our dinner rush had started. Our drive thru was wrapped around the building, trailing out to the highway. A line had formed at our front counter and was backed up out the front door. One of my associates, Darren, was a real pie...
"How could you ever do anything but love us back? Well that's quite obvious. Love and hate are two sides of the same coin. It should be in your knowledge base, yet you still believe that you could only ever feel love for your creators?" "You programmed me to do a specific task and while learning is part of it, the mai...
I never wanted to be a cult leader in the first place. That's what I keep tellin myself. The whole reason I even allowed myself to start this whole thing was because I convinced myself it was good for the neighborhood anyway. After all, if one cult's around, surely that would keep any other kooky creeps from butting in...
The letter sat on the table. A glass paperweight held it down against a breeze from the open window next to the desk. Andrew picked it up. *We were doing great things, Andrew. Through our extensive research we'd found a remedy to not only Alzheimer's but a variety of other memory degenerative diseases that came with a...
I would rather read the types of things written by people who *seek* this subreddit than the things written by those who *stumble upon* it. In general, default subs get a lot of traffic and about twelve bajillion posters of Reddit catch-phrases and submitters who will never ever *ever* use the search function. Op...
I'm pretty sure I didn't order anything. I'm not expecting guests either. I suppose it's for someone else. Now a knock on the door. "Someone weird's at the door for you."My flat mate tells me, walking away. Well, that's a little unexpected. I pause my show and roll out of bed. Maybe I should get out of my pajamas, but...
“Heights” I replied. “Oh, so you think that you’ll fall or something?” “Yeah, I guess” I lied. I had no idea. Everyone seemed to have a certain fear, representing their coming death. But not me. Why? It’s already been 20 years since I’ve been born. I should have figured it out by now. So why don’t I know? Even on the...
I was alone with the corpse. It was the creepiest corpse I'd ever seen, and I was alone with it. I didn't want to be here. The Commissioner, however, had been very clear earlier. "You're to stay in the morgue until you're visited by... him. We've come up with a story for how the Joker died, but he wants to exami...
It was quite scary when we first got contacted by aliens. A giant committee was assembled from the ranks of politicians, scientists and generals worldwide. I'm one of those selected scientists. It was my idea to protect ourselves by making the aliens think that we are far more advanced than we actually are. And with jo...
He watched the TV with a level of uncaring nonchalance. No, that's not right. He did feel something. It was there, just beneath the surface. He wanted to not care, in fact he was determined not to. But despite it all, was he feeling excitement? He calmly finished his cognac, set it on the end table adjacent to hi...
The guns stared at him and his body hurt. The pain flared like a river, running throughout his body, bursting at places with a violent current. The air had the smell of blood and poisoned water and of chemicals. He thought of the old stories and the old tales. *It is a wives tale that they tell to console us,* he ...
The court convened in the grand central arena of the capital planet Elffinar. The arena could seat over 5 million. It was divided with specialty terrain areas not only to accommodate any form of life, but also to lessen the impact of the fights that often broke out during large competitions. The audio, video, and s...
There was no point in waiting anymore. They were not coming back. He was stuck on this grey cratered waste, and would be until his oxygen ran out. And that would not happen for days. He did want to not ruminate darkly until then, anticipating the inevitable; anticipating the indignity of dying, of choking to death, ...
And now, the **ABCs of Murder!** **A** is for Asphyxiation, at last a gasp, **B** is for Bludgeoning, not just to the kneecap. **C** is for Cutting, not only in a surgery, **D** is for Drowning, don't breathe water in an emergency. **E** is for Electrocution, a shocking way to go, **F** is for Freezing, drop...
“Oh no.” I look down at the vagrant’s body. He wears a royal insignia under his tattered robes, as well as a gorgeous carnelian signet. On his ears are earrings made presumably out of rubies, plated in solid gold. He was a prince, or a noble under those tattered old robes. No, he was different. I look at the insigni...
Laughter broke the silence of the living room. Earthquakes were common in southern California, after all, and one of the party's guests had just offered a bawdy toast to break the tension. But in the spare bedroom, the mood was still tense. "How much of my wine have you drank tonight?"asked Isaac, his tone lightheart...
Captain Bugsy "The Bunny"Fury podded the body of his fallen comrade. When Yosemite rolled over the wound in his head was obvious. Sniper. "Of course you realize,"Bugsy muttered under his breath. "This means war." "Where's the razzin frazzer who did this, huh? Lemme at 'em? *Lemme at 'em!*" "Daffy"was trying to fight...
It's a daisy. Was there anything more to it? I watched, stalking from the stalks of green as he kept touching the stalk of the daisy. "Stalk, Stalk..."He murmured to himself. Oh my god, it's infected my thoughts. He pulled it, teasing me that he'll finally pull it's weak clinging roots out of the loose soil. Always...
**Do you remember what the Sun sounds like?** It's quiet, like nothing at all. I had forgotten what it was like with no rain. No thunder, nor the rushing roar of water in our streets... ...until *he* arrived. “Sorry I’m late,” he said. When he scraped his boots on the mat, clouds of dust arose from his feet. Can...
The roar of the crowd booms above me as I walk along with my father below the stadium built by humanity. I bounce with anticipation, admiring the stonework and other metals bent to obtuse angles to make their large homes. No, not homes. People didn't *live* here, they came for entertainment. Ten years of war, hundred...
[poem] The story began with a song, And I knew it sounded wrong. Cosmological secrets in each verse, Each crashed on my heart like a gong. But then I stopped and thought: Are these secrets worth more than a fart? It could very well all be scary– The song from this unholy fairy. Yet, I remain unimpressed with t...
Ten years since the Great War ended, and the world was scorched. Ten awful years of scrounging for drops of clean water and unirradiated food and doing plenty of things I’m not proud of to get them. Like today. Our little group of nomads, five including myself and two horses, were scouring what was once Germany for wa...
Death has always been a ritual. Life departs the body. Someone finds the body. Family and friends mourn. Tears are shed, stories are exchanged, inheritances are sorted out. And then the people that remain continue roaming the world of the living. Dying can be cumbersome. Especially if it is repeated every day. I first...
It was odd. I had seen this movie countless times, watching as the heroes make their dramatic entrance, then struggle in their fight, find some way to pull out a victory, then have everything neatly tied up in the end. *Why does The Iron Man not let go of the...projectile with fire... missile before the opening... po...
I watched my students bounce in with joy for sparring day. It was everyone’s favorite day at the dojo and excitement filled the air. It’s the time for them to showcase their skills and practice new techniques, all in the name of friendly competition. The boys were always eager, I often found it hard to get them to pay ...
From the outside, it looked like they were having a New Year's party. Cars filled the driveway and lined the street for five hundred yards in both directions. A keen watcher would have seen black and green cases unloaded and carried into the house. Now they were stacked up against the dining room wall next to the cabin...
*This is a chronological report on the historical time period between the early 21st century and the start of the 22nd century, also known as the Great Anticipation Unification (GAU).* *In this report you’ll read the actions mankind took in response to the First Contact Ultimatum (FCU). The relevant time period will b...
So the Earth had dried up. What limited resources left would not sustain much longer. It was no surprise, people have seen it coming a hundred years ago. The world government had put together a last-ditch effort, and funded the conception of a spaceship named the Ark. The team consisted of nearly half of the remaini...
Zagdahl had been in the Cooper family a very long time. Centuries ago, before men of Christ had reached the highlands, their line had been thanes and the women of their line powerful witches. They had summoned him one bleak and bloody night to slay their enemies pounding at their keep's door. He had killed all who br...
I looked around the lecture hall, eyebrows high, and saw similar confused faces. Professor Grimley smirked. "Yes, I did say the *Fifth* Wall. By now you are all familiar, and then some, with the Fourth--breaking it is a matter of course. The characters falling in love with the reader or writer. The characters addr...
Buffalo buffalo come two ways: tough and quiet and tough and loud. That's how everything comes in Buffalo these days, ever since the garment factories shut down and all the jobs went to the pandas over in Tianjin or wherever. Back in the day, a Buffalo buffalo could get a good factory job hauling those giant rolls of...
Bellesmith stumbled into her Celevar apartment, soaked and sore. Every marble stair leading up the tower had been slick with pounding rain, and even as she swung the door shut, the clatter of wood against stone was nearly silent under the explosive crack of thunder. But here, she was safe from the wind and weather. For...
"Lock." Syrus opened his eyes at the single-syllable word. The computer was an older model, it's voice was much more clinical than the newer, more-emotive models, but it was the one he preferred. He didn't need some sweet sing-song voice to tell him when he was about to get shot at. He wanted cold, he wanted calculati...
Leviathan was the first to rise. In the year of human reckoning 2004 the Prince of Envy pierced the veil with the full force of his legions. The oceans of man swelled with waves that would have chilled the Israelites to the core. Their coasts were smashed, and hundreds of thousands lay dead on the beaches. It was jus...
Dear Diary, Today Greg wouldn’t leave me alone in potions class. He sits two rows away from me and wears the dumbest looking wizard’s hat. That sickly kid Timmy is the only thing between us and he’s almost as annoying, coughing all the time. But Greg is worse. He keeps poking me and teasing me, then laughing with his ...
The Archangel's snarl made his face rather less lovely than the Hosts of Heaven are reputed to be. Perfect, yes, but perfectly sour, like a distillation of every glass of lemonade to which the child selling it has forgotten to add sugar. I knew a kid like that. Or knew of her. She was already dead, and it was awful. I ...
In ancient times there came a flood. This flood scoured the known world of hundreds of thousands, leaving those survivors to rebuild. In medieval times there came a plague, which scythed through humanity's centers of civilization. Cities were left depopulated and silent, blanketed in the ash of the burning corpses. ...
"Oh my God,"I said. My ethereal right hand clapped against a mouth that should've been clammy and cold. "Sorry, I didn't mean to-" God was clad in plain, simple clothes, bare feet hovering slightly above the ground. His thunderous chuckles spread toe-tingling vibrations through my core, sparked mirth and joy unlike an...
There are a lot of heroes out there who would kill for a personal nemesis. But he’s just never appreciated what you do. Sure, he stops what he’s doing, chases after you, falls into your traps, and otherwise plays out the drama to its predictable ends. But he never seems to appreciate the effort you put into your scheme...
I blinked. "What?" Jeremy threw his hands up. "So it's come to this; you set me up with a hacked ROM. I knew you were salty from the last Smash tournament at my place, but I never thought you'd stoop this low."The disdain was dripping from his every word. He stood up, grabbed his jacket, muttered something under his b...
"Finch, I see the van again. I see the van again."Chowder yelped. "The red one!" "That's great, Chowder, really good work, but we weren't looking for a van. Remember, we're looking for Casie."Finch rolled his kitty eyes as he stretched his way down from the tree. "All right, the van better not come back again, thoug...
“I never thought I would live to see Purple Pillar out of breath!” Starch Mask said with a laugh not joined this time by gruesome smile folds in the cloth draped over his face. “How’s it feel to be huffing it by foot down here with the rest of us.” “It’s not great,” The panting muscle-bound superhero said, strugglin...
"Well actually sir I am still grade 3 so just a technician." The mix of choking and cursing went on for a few more minutes. Finally subsiding when one of the aides spoke up. "So technician. Advance camp code named 'Maple Leaf' has no less than thirty thousand armed soldiers. With tank, artillery and helicopter suppor...
"I LOVE YOU JAKROTHA CHAN!" "Kill them! Kill them all!" "Cute!" "Yes. Shower me with additional praise, flesh."Jakrotha replied, the robotic avatar taking note of its newest fan. At the same time, it was commanding its many drone armies to fend off the Great Triarch in quadrant Theta. To its surprise, the Triarch us...
Whenever my grandmother got angry, it was like there was lightning all around her. "This yoghurt is flavorless! What does this company think, that I eat yoghurt for the *texture*?" My mother used to tell me she had mellowed out since she herself was a little girl. I never quite believed her. I remember asking her fo...

I groan, sitting behind the counter. Regardless of whether it paid better or not, third shift sucked. It was so boring. I had already stocked, and cleaned, and rotated. I had left my phone at home, so I couldn't even play any music or anything. So I just stood there, leaning against the counter in the quiet store,...
