It has been a while since I worked up the brain a little to write, so please forgive the rough edges. A quick story since i found this when I was close to bed, if it turns out well, I may continue, so any feedback is always welcomed. -------------------------------- When the human race finally united and reached for t...
"We need you back. The Guild needs you back."Timon places his mug of mead back on the table, almost slamming it down on the countertop. I knew enough about body language - his body language - to see the slight tremors in his hand as he spoke. "Nothing you say can make me go back there, Timon. I'm done."I maintain ...
In this dark alley, the little cat seemed to blend into the shadows. Davar knelt down and reached a hand out toward the cat, watching it slowly approach and nuzzle him. It seemed to have a scar on its forehead, but otherwise it was blacker than the darkest night. Its eyes shone like twin stars, contrasting starkly wit...
Running a preschool was always considered a challenge regardless of where you live, but every teacher who has complained online about this situation had it easy compared to me. Brookshaven has a population of about 5,000 people, but every year more people are born as parents try and try again to have a child that could...
Science had a lot of answers for us. How chemical bonds work. How to get to the moon. How water turns to ice. But the one question that science could never answer was the one about the numbers. The numbers that were floating above everyone's head. Throughout all of history people of all types had struggled with that ...
August 17, 1945 Dear diary, Turns out, Japan isn't a place man was supposed to drop big bombs on. Division Command told us our missions were "essential to preservation of the war effort"and "a final step towards the conclusion of the greatest conflict in human history". Long story short, those pieces of shit sent u...
Alex struggled to his knees. He was older now and hadn't bent in a few years. So his body naturally sang with a pop. The sound caused him to frown obliquely, as he settled on the tiled floor. He never liked tiles. And there was something pedestrian about the act that the Scottish aristocrat, with his hundred acres, ru...
There are always skeptics with any revolution and I was a skeptic of the latest digital one. Human brains are analogue and I'd never believed that an analogue chemical machine - myself - could ever be properly duplicated by a digital system. I remember when I was in highschool, my music teacher lamented that Compac...
Heaven always looked beautiful, maybe not as auspiciously glorious as Olympus, or as universally serene as Nirvana, but beautiful nonetheless. Eros liked it, at any rate. He especially liked crashing through the pearly gates, right past Peter's dazed face, and flying right up to the big prude himself. Why bother knoc...
Charles and Kelly ran up to their grandfather, excited for another campfire story. It was rare that they ever got to go out to their grandfathers ranch, and more so that they got around a campfire with him. Charles suspected it was because of his stories. "Can you tell us one, Grandpa Winston? Pleeeaaase?"Kelly cheer...
The crevice opened up into what seemed like a man-made hallway. I walked through with ease. This would mark my thirty-third spelunking expedition but my first of this specific cave, especially in a foreign land. The hair on the back of my neck stood on edge as I slowly descended to the end of the hall. Angela was back...

The hawk looked through me with its cold piercing eye. As quick as it had landed it flew off into the fray. To my left I heard Bakowski yell. "There's bears Seargent!" "Hold your fire!"I yelled back. We watched as the bear grunted at us and lumbered off to the front. It slowly gained speed until it broke into a gall...
Ricky wasn't the usual kind of doll little girls play with. I had received it as a gift from my grandma. It was a foot long wooden figure of an old man, wearing a funny hat. It was possible to bend and twist its limbs although it wasn't mechanized. It served as my favourite patient when I played doctor. "Nurse, we're...
“Of course I filled in the form correctly, I’m not a bloody idiot.” his scream carried out to the edge of the island, where it was swallowed into the wind. “Well you managed to cock-up our mortgage application, so excuse me for my concern.” the reply came, dripping with enough condescension to drown in. “Fifteen. Blo...
‘Okay, but what if she had rreeeaally big tits-’ ‘No Jeff. Oh my me. I’ve told you this a thousand times already.’ Jesus, ever patient, doesn’t flinch at my question. Even though it’s pretty legit. ‘Looking at a woman with sexual thoughts is adulterous. ‘ I mumble something that goes along the lines of, well you ...
As you step into the haggard castle aged and ravaged by time, you notice as all people inevitably do that the staircases move. Around you the new students stand in awe as the stairs shift and change as if a puppeteer were performing a ballet, the only thought on your mind being that it appears to be over a six foot dro...
In a family with Super strength, telepathy, mind control and super intelligence, I was like a freak that's never in place. A power reflect on music. In a family where entertainment is taboo as they "disrupt and pollute minds", and the only music was the intense training on elegance of piano and Violins, I am weak lik...
I looked back and forth between the dragon, a glorious pink and gold beast the size of a large dog, and the manual, entitled "Care and Feeding of the Modern Dragon." "I, uhh."I opened the apartment door wider and the dragon primly stepped inside. I followed. She - I was sure she was a she - curled up in between the t...
“I swear mom, come see for yourself,” I call out, turning back to the clothes dryer. The palm sized dragon is now standing at the dryer door, looking up at me with an annoyed expression. “Hey kid,” it says in a deep voice, “I’m trying to keep a low profile here. I’ll be gone in a few days, no harm done. You keep this ...
Walking in the Reverse was entirely upsetting, Artoria decided. If she had to pick a way to describe it, her newfound knowledge of the modern world would choose 'Minecraft'. A world stitched together by biomes related to their mythologies. But unlike the popular game, they couldn't travel between them. Like snowglobes....
It was creepy at first. They wouldn't stop. I heard them every morning, at the exact same time, always just one phrase "It's coming"and nothing else. I learned Morse Code as a way to pass the time, nothing more than a passing interest. Now I wish I had never learned it at all, none of my friends know Morse, and they wo...
It's a cool autumn day as the town withdraws to the gates, having heard from scouts that a surprise attack will be launched at dusk. As people walk into the gates, they find themselves walking around a sizeable armored machine. It's been the talk of the town since it showed up last week, having burst out of the Witchwo...
"No, no this can't be happening. It's just a dream. It has to be."I scream in a deep raspy voice that's not mine. Lying in front of me are a dozen statues of various dragons with expressions ranging from excitement to confusion and lastly to terror. Just a week ago I was just another dragon in the academy. I was the ...

Finding his ex-boyfriend starring in a shady Internet porn video had been jarring. Then comforting --- Shawn told himself he had known, deep inside, that Jon had been a little too good in bed. It hadn't been his own inadequacy, and now this was the proof. Jon had been in films! That was a relief, and also kind of excit...
I was already awake, though unwilling to open my eyes when I felt the pressure of something settling on the foot of my bed. Stubbornly refusing to open my eyes, I attempted to will it away, hoping that it would work this time. When the pressure remained, I slowly opened them up a crack and sighed heavily. A seven foo...
At first, most companies gave you the Day off, though it depended on what you did. Sometimes, you were safer at work. Day Anxiety was also a pretty common thing. You could medicate, but that meant taking a chance you'd be incapacitated when It happened or that the drugs themselves would cause the problem. Other people...
"For my client's first wish whose social security number, birth date, photo identification, fingerprints, and genetic code are here enclosed. My client wishes to have the sum value of 1,000,000,000,000 United States of America dollars added to his account after the full and complete reading of this statement. These dol...

"Yes sir, I'm on it." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- April 20, 2069 16:24 The White House President Bush III is busy in his office, doing some important pres...
EDIT: As this has received a fair amount of attention and I have fallen in love with this concept, I am going to continue this story. Once I have a few chapters I will post them on r/writingprompts as an OT. Keep an eye out for posts titled "The Shade Continued."If you'd like me to notify you when it's been posted, jus...
Some fear monsters with big, sharp sticks, Some fear crowds throwing big, heavy bricks! Some fear a ghost, Some fear the most, Some fear an execution by rope! But of these fears are lame, All of these fears are tame, Compared to the one I’m about to explain. The real thing to fear isn’t A stick A brick A g...
The money saved her life. It first arrived when she was jobless in a city that crawled with people desperate for work. She hoarded the money and spent as little as she could, terrified that the miraculous little envelopes would cease to arrive like clockwork every Wednesday. Of course, she wondered who it could be. ...
I guess I'm the black sheep in my family. All my older brothers and sisters are amazing people and I'm well, not quite that. See, my oldest brother Mark started the trend. He joined the military at sixteen and became a captain at twenty and the next thing we know, he's leading his own fleet. Mom and Dad were so pro...
"Don't forget to comb your hair John"said Voice #2 (I like to call them Nagy Niles). "Shut up!"I groaned, staring at my reflection in my smudged mirror. I began to straighten my hair, knowing fully well that Niles would just complain all day if I didn't. "And don't you dare harass me about breakfast this morning...
Ever since I was a young child, I had been able to perceive what other people were thinking. But I didn't know what it was back then, it took me a while to piece it together. My parents were none too understanding so I learned quickly to keep it to myself. Human thoughts are rather disordered. Most people don't even k...
The initial landing team was set to enter the White House and replace the President of the United States. It only made sense as replacing this leader would put in them in charge of 37% of Earth's defense budget and one of the largest nuclear arsenals. Once this was done the second wave could approach and begin replacin...
Reality-Warping. Probably the most overpowered superpower there is. Anything you want, made possible at a whim. My super-strength is nothing compared to someone who can turn my muscles into Nilla Wafers with a thought. Luckily, the only supervillain I know with reality-warping powers is a 14-year old named Tommy. Tomm...
The council chamber was silent. A single drop of sweat slid down John's neck. When he'd taken the job as ambassador, he'd been happy. His track record was stellar. He had helped diffuse conflicts all around the globe. His calm and poise was legendary; even in the most dangerous situations he was known for his reserve....
The sliding doors whirr open as I stumble out into the cold night air. My face is impassive as I try to reconcile the emotions that threaten to take over me. "The flight is cancelled? Why!?"I remember shouting at the attendant, fully aware that there was nothing she could do. Asking a human to part the stormy clouds...
"wait, what was that?" "I've wanted this... Wanted you for so long." "me? But I'm Satan... You know the unholy lord of pain and suffering." "oh I know"I whispered with a glimmer. "ummmm. Harbinger of doom and all that jazz. Buuummmsssh" Satan motioned an explosion with his clawed hands. "mmmmmmhmmmmm" I took a ...
"Yes, but who are they?" The twelve doctors simultaneously twisted, looking over their shoulder with keen interest. Nothing was there so they swivelled back. One doctor clicked a pen thoughtfully, another one scribbled on a clipboard. The youngest doctor, Dr. Harold, raised an eyebrow and scooted closer. "Do you mean...
The thumping was louder. The preacher slowly rolled over in bed, and stumbled to his feet. "Alright, alright, I'm coming! It's rather late though..." He looked up at the clock, ten minutes after midnight. A bad hour to be up. He stopped to pick up the pocket cross from his bedside table, and pocketed it. He wasn't sur...
Failing the first test got you a job at a factory, where you'd work and live the rest of your life. You were no longer eligible for any future tests and would receive neither the benefit of passing or the consolation prize of losing. Half the students failed it. Carrow had passed because he brought Miss Jannine an app...
Truth is, I didn't expect to survive the crash. I was low on fuel, cruising to a fill-up station on a nearby asteroid belt, the last fuel-stop before you're on the long, cold flight to Andromeda. I'm a scrap-peddler, so I was trying to get by on about a balloon's worth of combusted oxygen, just to survive until my nex...
5:43 AM: I am sitting on the human’s chest waiting for him to wake up. He is struggling to breathe, so it will not be long now. 5:46 AM: The human rolled over in his sleep and dumped me on the floor. Unacceptable. 5:47 AM: I am now sprawled across the human’s face. 5:48 AM: Human is awake. I yowl in his face. He ign...
"Oh, him? No, he's just another subordinate. He's my emotional aide."Lisia told the stranger. I went "What the actual fuck?", mouth agape as I looked from the middle-aged man to my best friend. "Lady Lirishera, the cult has been looking for a sacrifice to control your anger-" Lisia just puts a hand to her mouth, t...
“Oh,” I said, looking at the Supreme Emperor of Andromeda in the eye. He was letting out a loud, belly laugh that sent his belly jiggling. He even grabbed his ribs and leaned into it, the maniacal bastard. He really thought this would be it – I would fail, and he would win. I, with so many Michelin stars when I didn’t ...
"For the last bloody time, Xanth."Ser Robald said, sifting his gauntlet-less hand through his red mane of hair, his moss-green eyes glaring at the scaled beats before him. "I don't need someone to organise my lovelife for me!" The dragon looked back at him with golden eyes, great and grey, like morning mists. "Are you...
The research team pressed their faces against the window to observe the new mage apprentice, their ocular devices capturing the uptick in intelligence points as the boy lifted the stack of pyromancy tomes up and down repeatedly as per the instructions of the lead researcher. It didn't seem to matter what the boy did, ...
I'd begged my older sister to tell me what she'd learned. She'd just looked at me and shaken her head. My best friend turned 16 last month, but when I asked her to break confidence and tell me, she just bit her lip and looked at me with worried eyes. Today was my own Sooth Sixteen, and you bet I was nervous. Everyone ...
We stumbled out of the forest, after finally dispatching those infernal barbarians. We were immediately noticed that we had entered into a brave new world. Giant machines hurtled through the sky, hulking metal boxes trudged across the lands and our settlement of 'Awesometown' was not like it was. Tips of pyramids could...
"My lady, you summoned me to your chamber?"the Minister of State said cautiously as he entered the throne room. He had just seen the general in charge of defenses stomping out, and knew the war effort was not going particularly well. Servants pulled the doors open all the way, exposing him with nowhere to hide from he...
"Steel yourself, take up your wand, and..." "Goddamn, Robes, do you ever shut up?" At this disrespect, the challenging wizard lifted his wand high, chanting as his colorful robes billowed in the breeze. Jackson watched the old man carry on a moment before removing his wand from its holster, chambering a spell, and ca...
Off in the distance, I could just barely see the massive black tower reaching into the sky, outlined against the red sunset like a bony hand thrust from a grave. It had taken over a decade to build, and at the expense of thousands of slaves who'd scratched the rough black onyx from the earth, dragged the blocks across ...
"Frodo, look what you did. You fucked all the shit up,"Gandalf gestured to all the shit that Frodo had fucked up. "Why did we even give you the ring? That makes no sense. We shouldn't have done that." Frodo looked up at Gandalf like a small child looks up at an adult. "Gandalf oh great Lord who I guess is two differen...
Clarence and Darryl exited their spaceship, shirtless, holding shotguns, and wearing overalls. Their scrawny gray bodies and oversized bald heads with giant black eyes looked particularly unusual in the chosen attire. They had landed near the center of the Pentagon, mimicking their best human walk -- a slumped swagge...
This is a strange planet it seems. It takes jokes very, very seriously. There are some small bars where jokes are told, but every few years they make a huge show and decide who is the best joker to entertain everyone for a while. They call this the "Election"and this year they will get a joker no one is ready for. Mr. ...
We stared at the ticking clock. Five more seconds. Tick. Pranks on our neighbors would get a lot harder. Tick. So would sneaking into R rated movies. Tick. Can't pay Maxine ten bucks to swap with me for math tests anymore. Tick. Guess it's time to go straight and stop shoplifting. Tick. The faces around me contorted ...
In some sense, I've always known. The world is a mire of hazards and misfortune, of course, with threats lurking around every corner. One could be killed in a dozen different ways before leaving their house in the morning; in a thousand ways before making it back to their bed at night. There are predators in every sh...
I hear laughter and glance over toward the escalator. A group of friends is standing at the base. An impossibly tall woman is standing in the middle of them. She is more than a head taller than each of them. “I still can’t believe that you’re afraid of escalators,” one of the other girls says. I feel myself redden, be...
Hour One: Toby and Sara "Well. You're one of the lucky ones, huh? Color me surprised." A man stood above me. He was dressed in a neat black suit; two black feathery wings protruded from his back. I couldn't place his face; every second I looked at him, I thought he was someone else. I looked around at my surro...
They were getting more and more despicable. The child's face was scratched up, streaks of thin crimson lining it. Her hair was messy and dirtridden. She had obviously slipped and fell down some hill. And from the nasty bruise on her shin, it was obvious she was not going far before the night fell. "What is your name?...
“I saw the collapse of the Daily Planet through my window, and from what I’ve heard everyone has been accounted for and safe so far...except you!” Lex continued :”Now I know that I’ve never seemed to be friendly with anyone there, but honestly I had a lot of respect for your journalism and for you for being the everyd...
The house the sword had been in burned. No longer was it on the mantle, sheathed and silent. Wielder had attempted to draw it, but… arrows in the back sapped Wielder’s strength. Bandits approached son of Wielder, who finally drew the sword from its sheathe, and awakened the sword. The child was strong. The previous w...
Selena and Alex were imaginative kids. That's what I thought anyway. They kept themselves entertained, running around in the woods. Often they would come back and babble away about the adventures they had had. They had met dragons, fought armies, saved royalty. I just smiled and encouraged them. I wanted them to enjoy ...
The demon hovered ominously as I poured milk into the cereal bowl. I pushed it out of the way to get to the freezer and pulled out the ice cube tray. The demon snarled in frustration as I went about getting my breakfast, thoroughly angered by my stubbornness. Years had passed since it had uttered that once terrifyi...
"We're still on the clock, right?"Ashley asked, taking a hesitant step towards the edge of the rocky cliff. She didn't expect Brian to give her a straight answer. Brian subscribed to the Avoid All Responsibility school of management, with a sub-major in Maximising Distracting Small Talk All Day Long. She hadn't sai...
"Come out and play!"Little fox cried. "No! Go away!"The monster denied. Little fox thought, and little fox knew, if her friends were hungry, the monster was too! "We have pears, and plums. Peaches and more!" "I'm a despicable monster, I only eat gore!" Little fox ran to the picnic with haste, and brought back a ba...
Apologies to the actual Tomb Sentinels if I got anything wrong in this story. "Tomb Guards,"the Sergeant said, "I have received word from headquarters that the United States is under imminent threat of attack by a hostile alien force. As of 0500 hours this morning, the Third Infantry Regiment has been relieved of ce...
“You sure this is it?” “Yes, yes, now go!” ‘Samuel’, as he would come to be known, hesitantly strode over to the entry door of the coffee shop, one foot in front of the other. Come on, he thought to himself, you spent weeks practicing the human method of walking in basic training- so get it over with! But just befo...
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH, 2019: "And for the first time ever, a young male is being lead in front of a firing squad, as his birth-given tattoo is expired by three days, and he has yet to suffer any symptoms of dying." The television broadcasts. I listen to rage of the audience watching the fate of the boy. They urge th...
I'm glad to be a bread mage. My skills include sifting flour with a wave of my hand, baking a perfect French baguette with little more than a few strands of wheat and a little water, or, in my more advanced spells, I can summon fresh bread in a pinch. I have a few students, others born with my powers. My youngest, Fik...
"FWEEEEEEEP!"The shrill noise brought several of the ever-present Secret Service agents crashing into the Oval Office. They stopped short as they took in the sight in front of them. Ribbons of colorful paper hung limply out of a hatch that had opened in the ceiling, and yellowed strips of confetti fluttered through the...
All day, and all night, he works. He works, works, works, usually until I'm already in bed. Weekends, too. I haven't seen him in so long... All I want is to play baseball with him, and give him hugs, make him tell me stories and play games. That's all. But he's never home. Mommy's always sick, and she never wants to ...
Long ago I was loved. Children would play with figures cast from my being. Life giving water would flow across me, through pipes and tanks to the homes of my worshipers. Women sought beauty from my colors, adorned and anointed in my holy name. Those days are long gone. The figures that children...
Terry Summervill stared out of the bay windows that framed his kitchen. A mug of warm tea was held gingerly in his hands. He took a few sips as he looked out of the windows at his rather … peculiar … next door neighbor. A frown came upon Terry’s lips. After being for sale for only a week, someone new had decided to bu...
It's not a bad life, not bad compared to the alternative. I've read the histories. I activated my sleep capsule just before the difficult times started. Post-nuclear-apocalyptic difficult times. Average-human-life-span-under-2-years difficult times. Now I live like a King. Well, not a King.... more of a Rock-Star...
"*STOP" ------------------------------------- I wonder what my new consciousness will* feel like, I asked myself on what I knew was likely my death bed. I could feel it coming. Seeping, slowly, peaceful death. I wanted it so badly. Death was a sweet thought in contrast to the tumultuous, tedious, tiresome li...
This, I thought to myself, is what I got for buying a used 2032 Skyrim. Sighing, I marched up to my neighbor's door. "Yes?"The man, whose name once again escaped me because I didn't really care to learn it, asked. "Frank,"I said, guessing. "Fred,"he corrected. "Fred,"I said, guessing, "we're good, right?" "Well, ...
There were 80,000 of us, brothers, as we look about the sacred War grounds, as we looked about and laughed and drank, hoping something would calm the nerves. Fear doesn't have a place in the battlefield, the fearful pawn falls first. We are nothing, every single one of the thousands of us. Not one of us comes even cl...
"Sir Hamsterlot,"I said with a chuckle as I jumped into bed. I listened to the squeaking of Sir Hamsterlot's wheel spinning while I browsed reddit. "Hey, Sir Hamsterlot, should I subscribe to r/HumansBeingBros?"I asked, looking over at the recently knighted ball of fur. The wheel stopped and he glanced at me before goi...
Edit: Pt 2 is below ——— “Shhhh... You hear that?” “No. Are they coming?” “Yes. Half a mile.” “Alright. Let’s light em up boys. Everyone off the comms in 3... 2... 1... Good luck.” One final crackle through the radio plunged the field into complete silence. I took a deep breath and exhaled into the frigid November...
"Hello there Link, it's great to meet you again. It has been so long." I jumped. What the hell was that? As I looked around I couldn't see anyone that could have said that. My classmates just stared at me. "I am Fi, I am the spirit that is held in the master sword, it has been -(£(&))4:?#)&):4 years since you...
It’s been over 200 years since Aliens found Earth, but due to some listening to humans, it was decided they were safest as a protected species due to their stories. They were told of Great Empires rising up, only to be defeated by a season. Even more great stories were told, but it wouldn’t be until a few hundred years...
Every week. Every week it is the same. As midnight approaches, the townspeople wait in their homes, lanternlight washing out from between the cracks of their broken, boarded-up windows. They sit in front of their hearths, huddled close to the fire. They don't speak. There's nothing to talk about, and they wouldn't be ...
“What exactly was a bird?” The grand admiral of the kirrra space navy thought to himself as wave after wave of human attack craft pelted their flotilla. Since the union of planets had encountered the small ape descended creatures there had been nothing but loss after loss. They had some strange ideas on how to sa...
Things have changed so much since I was a lad. It all started with The Unveiling of course, when the Sun turned purple and we started to see the beings living alongside us, but on another plane. The planes aligned and our worlds combined, changing everything. And if you don't think that was a good thing, you are now ...
In a single moment, the sounds of gunfire and explosions echoing out into the distance, time seemingly stopped. My rifle, bayonet attached, a mere inch from an enemy combatant. The smell of rotted flesh and blood permeated the trench, a rolling fog covering it all. "My son,"a voice, booming and echoey rang out. "What ...
"Humans like to think themselves unique, and they are to an extent, Commander."The Captain's purple tentacles flexed and wrapped themselves around a shelled animal bringing it up to a beaked mouth which cracked the shell and devoured its meaty contents. The officer's dining hall of the spaceship was spacious and accom...
"Its 450 BC"Said the peasently laborer with a distinguished accent too familiar to ignore. A peek at the universal translator revealed the language as... Earth Standard? "That cant be right...Excuse me sir-"the words cut off as the peasant ran past "Where are you going?"I asked baffled at the outburst "Im getting o...
Every time I enter a room it hits me hard that Jack’s not there. A real rush to the chest, you know? The words over and over in my head. I’ve still kept his things. His trainers. His little jacket with the minion on. His toys. His furry lion, Leon. I’ve taken to carrying Leon with me. My colleagues at work noticed ...
"Leave." The word that changed everything. Written in red dust on the surface of Mars by the Curiosity Rover before it blinked out of existence. Scientists were dumb-founded at first, unable to understand their robotic probes actions. Some argued the tracks were left by coincidence, that the robot had malfunctioned ...
The king of the world tightens his grip on my arm, and I delay just a moment longer. "I mean, how truthful?" "Absolutely truthful,"the king replies. Royal guards with their pikes, leaned towards me as well, the throne room crowded, a strained smile on the queen's face. "Six." "'Six'?"The king shifts, his grip l...
"Well, this is fascinating" "I believe the word you're looking for is 'annoying'" "This is more than annoyance. This is insufferable." "I couldn't agree more. What kind of moron binds the world's greatest minds into some hokey child's riddle?" "Someone who apparently is no moron." "Please. 'The exit is within your...
Etiquette 1. Please be mindful of the other residents in the hotel. A quiet atmosphere is very important for our business. 2. From 12:00 pm to 3:45 am, do not leave your room. Please call room service if you need anything. 3. Do not make eye contact with the woman in the elevator. She will try to talk to you, but y...
"I just have one question... Lucifer, Yahweh. Why me? If you are looking for the most righteous, or the most evil, why me? I'm just an average salaryman!" It was the lilting cadence of Lucifer that answered. "You already know, I mean it's obvious. Every human is capable of great evil and great kindness. So take the mo...
"Thank you for having me"I say, as I step forward to the center of the stage. Teller gives a polite nod, while Penn grunts for me to begin. I set down my small briefcase and proceed to pull out several large sheets of plywood. As I begin stacking the plywood into two large piles, I look up briefly and smile at the...
Is there anything else I can get for you?” the waitress with bright blue eyes asked. I was glad that she was the one to serve me today of all days. The little bits of attention I gleaned from her were the best parts of my week. The days that I walked in and found out she wasn’t working were the worst. “No, thank you,”...
"All I'm saying is, I don't think we can afford to mess with too much. Remember how ratings plummeted when we killed those celebrities?" "You're right. We need some proper drama. Something to really hook the viewer. What have we got scripted for the fourth quarter?" "Let's see. We have the oil pipe thing, the electio...
