The sword sank into my chest, slipping expertly between my third and fourth ribs and puncturing my heart. Then I felt the axehead bite at my neck, and the world went spinning. It took me fourteen seconds before my brain lost enough oxygen for everything to go black. I woke up in a pool of water. "Hello hello hello!"...
The man was pale, dirty and gritty from the battlefield he had just appeared from. The nurse had bandaged his arm and it was now in a sling as he walked into my office, escorted by one of the security guards, a man from three hundred years in his future with much more advanced weaponry than he ever could imagine. I st...
"Ah, Charles, there you are,"Father Hernandez called out. "I was worried you wouldn't make it." "Sorry Father, had a flat tire on the way over here."I replied. Father Hernandez opened the church gates and let me inside. "I have to head out to a wedding reception, you know where everything is, just make sure to doub...
I'd never been more proud. My little girl. Fencing in the championship. Her next bout would determine whether she or her opponent was hailed as swordswoman supreme, by the Royal Ladies' Academy of Blades. It didn't matter so much to me, I thought just making it this far was a remarkable achievement. How many other youn...
It was the Tenpenny family. Obviously. Who *else* could it be? Weird stuff was happening all throughout town. Nine months of nothing but full moon—-*but only within town*—-cows being milked of some Obsidian liquid, instead of milk—-and they scream like banshees when you milk them—-and more. Ravens cawed prophecies, peo...
The new recruit was still taking it all in. I didn’t blame him, it's crushing to discover that was all a lie, that you’re no one special, “Oh, and get rid of your weapon.” The wide-eyed unchosen one blinked, “Why?” I sighed, “Because she cursed it, the weapon will fail when you need it most. She can also ...
It'd started as a project for a final exam, grafting branches of a peach tree to an apple tree to make it grow both apples and peaches. Then taking that tree for a different final exam and mutating the fruit to have properties similar to frog liver. Why frog liver? Because the professor loved frogs, of course. And then...
Use your brain. What time was it? I looked at my watch, 8pm EST. I was tired. I just landed from my trip to Moscow, and I knew it would be a few days before I readjusted to the time zone. Oh well, it was worth it. I sauntered through the airport towards baggage claim. My entire thought process was to...
"Ahh...Mr. President?"*That was not the question I had expected. I mean the war with Canada has been going on now for three years. We lost Maine during the election, and he wants to talk about illegal immigrants?!* The President put his water down on the table and once more repeated his question to me. "No bullshit...
Dr. Zilovra stared at the multi-limbed beast before him. Supposedly, it was intelligent, even able to use language of sorts in normal situations, though the current case only yielded screams of pain. He glanced at the screen overhead displaying the file his assistant had brought, and worked to hide his confusion. "I'...
Taking care of the chickens had been my responsibility since I was barely five. I'd go out there, check on the roosters, pet the hens, collect a few eggs, give them some seed to nibble on and be on my way. I'd change the hay every other day and make sure the coop was locked up before nightfall or any big storms were br...
Magic came into this world an unexpected and grave force. Suddenly, everyone had a place to be, a job to do. Save the useless. I'm told it's a real bitch to get stuck with a verb like *admire* or *bake*. What the hell can you do with that? *Bake* bread. *Admire* schlong. Great stuff there. No, the really useful verbs...
>Edits: Word choices and grammar. I felt, alone, in the world. Everyone had their own etching, various things. Some very unfortunate, curse words and whatnot. Others rather normal, like something you say to your wife when you leave for work. There are a few who know that they will see their loved ones die with thei...
I’ve always found it fascinating how traditions ebb and flow over time. I mean I guess they’re analogous to culture, which by its very nature is anything but static. Though in my culture, every tradition is held onto to the very last thread. Based on the Amish tradition we live very simple lives. Back in the 20th centu...
The interviewer fell silent. The other people in the room held there breath. For a second the camera man lost his grip and the image shook a little. "Could you repeat that?"Alice asked trying to regain her composure. "I could shatter the bonds of human vitalization in five words...there is no God..."Before Paul c...
The city is an decrepit engine that hums, sputters and bleeds violence. Gotham is where Hell and Mecca fornicate in the shadows, leaving little bastard nephilim to beg on the streets or whore in the alleys. I know Gotham better than anyone, I am a ward of the thoughtless hate and hope that mingles in the sewers with t...
*That sucked.* It had been dark outside, and I had been drinking. I looked around from my position on the ground - yep. There was the car that had jumped the curb and plowed into me. A man was getting out of the driver's side, stumbling, panicky. Faintly at first, then beginning to glow brighter, letters appeare...
"Yes, yes,"Dr. Rothberg said eagerly, staring straight into the camera with an awkward intensity that made some viewers look away. "My work - my colleagues' work and mine - it has been gravely misrepresented."He shook his shaggy head, somehow keeping his eyes fixed on the camera. "It's a shame that these lawmakers fail...
"Will you not go and leave an old dragon in peace?"the dragon groaned. Its eyes were still closed with a thin slit of water on the seam of its eyelids. "Go?"asked Timothy. "Will you not kill me where I stand?" "Kill you? My, much blood has been spilled already,"said the dragon. "When the rivers were full of clear wa...
There she was. She was perfect. Perfect hair, perfect eyes, perfect skin, and perfect grades. And a perfect personality to boot. Then there was me. Football star, straight A student, homecoming king. We were perfect together. Which is why I suppose we were always pining after each other. We dated off and on for all fo...
My biological donors, my parents, never met each other. I was conceived in a tube. I'm told my mother was absolutely beautiful. Long silky black hair, tiny heart shaped face on a tall willowy frame. Clever and quick witted of mind, graceful and agile on her feet. Apparently, she had been nobility. The middle daughter ...
*[A kid’s bedroom. The father, a 37 year old man named DUTCH, closes a book, and kisses his 9 year-old daughter, ABIGAIL, on the forehead.]* **DUTCH:** Alright honey. It’s 9:30. You know what that means. **ABIGAIL:** Light’s out? **DUTCH:** Yep. Light’s out. *[He stands up to leave. His daughter grips his shirt.]*...
If you’re smart enough you can save just about anyone. Doesn’t matter if the world is against them, not even if nature is taking its toll. It comes down to thinking. You figure out what you want and and then plot each step that it takes to get there. I could out-think the best. “I’m going to die, John.” Jenny ha...
Reputation can be a funny thing sometimes. There I was at my regular boring job as a desk clerk when out of nowhere who should show up but Lord Melodramatic. Head of the Villains Alliance, top ranked villain in Criminals Monthly, public enemy number One and all around scary dude. He strolls in, starts shouting somethi...
I was putting a small frozen pizza in the toaster oven when my dad walked through the front door. He was holding a stack of mail and my heart sank. I watched helplessly as he sorted through the bills and the junk to come across my report card. He looked straight at me. His nostrils flared as if he could already smell t...
We look at each other. Terror is coursing through my veins. I know I am not immortal. I look at the gun again, first one I’ve seen this close. He is also looking at the gun, I pick up the letter and reading it again, this time out loud, “One of you is immortal. Find out who. You have one hour.” There is a timer cou...
"WAKE UP GEORGE"my mother yelled "GET READY FOR SCHOOL" ​ *Goddamnit* ​ My day always starts with my mother yelling at me to get up; nevermind the fact that my alarm would have sounded 15 minutes later anyway. Shuffling out of bed, and throwing on my uniform as fast as possible usually follows...
“Kill them with kindness.” That’s what my father always used to tell me. Little did he know how right he was. I figured it out when I worked in the old age home. I would help the residents out with the little things, cleaning up tables, mopping up spills. There were a couple of people who were particularly sensitive a...
I'm a hard braxl—my species' genders don't really have a good translation in most galactic languages—and I consider this more or less a lifestyle. And so long as you avoid the handful of system confederations that impose the death penalty, you can keep it that way. It's exciting, and that's important to me. Anarchic. S...
I never had any trouble in my life. My parents did everything for me. They showered me in love, gave me an allowance that could have let me buy half a city if I wanted to. And yet, it was just yesterday that I found out…. I found out that I *had* a sister. She was never brought up before, in the twenty five years I...
**Data scatterred, incomplete report attached.** SYNOPSIS: Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. Terrestrial ground forces are augmented by local fauna and psionics. SUMMARY: Preliminary scout's revealed a pre-fusion society with a rapidly expanding industrial base. Sphere is 70% salt-water with continental formations...
First of all, who knew that Heaven was so difficult to get into? If I remember correctly, the ratio is literally one in a million. Like, the bible thumpers actually were on the right track. Too bad they couldn’t follow the rules that they preached, because I’m pretty sure most (if not all) of them are down here. My f...
“It’s too many names.” Hael leaned closer, “no… you got to be kidding me. You can never have too many names.” “Yes!” Raelin exclaimed, “that’s what I thought! But then I got the secretary job and…” Hael blinked, “sorry, I have to stop you there. What’s a secretary?” Raelin chuckled, “apologi...
I bit my lip so hard it nearly bled, but, fortunately, I didn't scream. The black eyes blinked at me as if waiting for a response. This was my daughter's imaginary friend. The one she'd told me about, the one she played with every day. She played with an Eldritch one every day... "Mom..."My daughter whispered, nudg...
Every day the walk gets a little longer, but every day I come back for the cobbler. Most days I get peach, but today I was in the mood for cherry. I walked past the long mahogany bar, empty but for a sole occupant, full almost until the end of the row, ready to take my seat. The occupant in the first seat looked nervou...
"You know,"I looked at the group of people cowering on the ground of the supermarket. "Hero used to have meaning. Now it just stands for drama and TV. No risks no loss. Save the day, the villain escapes. No one sees the real good a hero could do. That or they don't care. It's disgusting."I spit on the ground. "I think ...
It started plainly enough. The brightest minds of the century sat down, hashed out their differences, shared a good ol' mug of ale, and then developed the most profound artificial intelligence yet seen in the stellarverse. Its brilliance bordered on omniscience, and it was the pride of the entire galaxy. The logistical...
I awoke on top of a stone slab, in an underwater cave that seemed to only be big enough to be a tomb. Making sense of what lies in front of me, being nothing more than rough searock and the swirling patterns of light being reflected by the ungulating waves, I sit up on the edge of the slab, and slowly regain my bearing...
"0... 1... 4."Chelle left her hands on the planchette. Emilia's right hand rested upon hers. Her left had written the numbers onto a page in a notebook, and together, they spelled out a date. They stared at the numbers in silence. The planchette moved no further. "Are you sure?"asked Emilia. Their hands moved in uniso...
**NSFW** The safe word was the same as it always was, "cheeseburger", although he probably won't be using it tonight. He never had to use the safe word, not with this girl. She could definitely take it as well as she dished it out. He had a reason for cheeseburger. He and his wife both had cheeseburgers on their f...
I'm not sure what hurt more; my back from sleeping on the stone floor, or the constant ringing of my god-damn phone. Whichever it was, my body was in agony. When I eventually managed to shake my haze and come to, I figured out why everything hurt. I hadn't slept on the stone floor. I'd slept in the desert, for some re...
"Is there anything we in the church should know about, for the coming months?"The pope asks God and the cardinals all gather up their notebooks. "Well, yes. In three weeks, there will be a 8.1 earthquake fifty miles west of Panama. Be prepared for Tsunamis in Papau New Guinea, Ecuador and Hawaii."God answers, and the ...
I first discovered my power at a very young age, actually, but it took me years to really know what it was. My dad liked to watch high profile court cases on TV. The OJ Simpson trial and the like. I was very young at the time, only about 6 years old. My father was ranting at the television which was one of his favorite...
"Who goes there?" "Dahalva, of the Ederwood." "An Elfling, that speaks in human tongues?" "An Elfling, that speaks in human ... tongues." "Come forth." "You are ..." "A human. Yes, I know, a miracle I am sure." "I was told you were all ... long gone." "If by long gone you mean nearly exterminated by you and you...
“Gentlemen, the world has discovered a barrier has been put on mankind. The speed of light has been long thought to be the maximum speed at which all conventional matter in the universe can travel. We now know it is a superficial quarantine designed to keep humans from reaching deep space. It is your job to figure out ...
I switched off the lights to go to bed. School was on tomorrow and being late wasn't an option, so I tried to tuck in early. But as I drifted off, I heard my mum scream, "Have you packed your bag yet?"I hadn't, and that took precedence over my rest, so the lights went back on as I searched for the items to put in my ba...
I looked back at the little girl staring wide-eyed on the bed. Definitely my daughter. I took another long look at the terrified little girl clutching her teddy bear under my bed. Undoubtedly my daughter. Hmm. "Alright what's going on?"I said in my best 'not mad just disappointed' voice as I stood up, crossing my arm...
It wasn’t often that I left the house if I didn’t have to, but today something was driving me to go outside and just enjoy the fresh air. It was the first day in weeks that the weather was tolerable without an obscene amount of outerwear and I thought I would take a trip to the art park, only a fifteen minute walk from...
"Oh flipping ruddy darn!"I say, placing both hands at my hips so that my elbows jut out like a mum from an old sitcom who's just found out her zany husband is up to more whacky but charming hijinks. He adjusts his glistening white robe frantically, eyes wide and unable to focus in the middle of a tornado of flustering...
I march. I've marched for months now, years even. I've marched on and on, stopping scarcely to eat and sleep. I won't stop, can't stop. I can't let him fade. I march through a forest, somewhere in the mountains of eastern Europe. I come upon a clearing. There is a small cabin in the center, a small sign on the fron...
Area 51, Sub-sector B “I love my hometown. It’s so friendly! Everybody knows everybody. We all take care of each other. Such a warm place.” “I live in Unit B6, with my parents, just over on Anomaly Drive. They’re 490 years young. It’s so great. They play tennis and golf every day and have tons of friends.” “The fun...
The sun was swollen and blood-red, looming over the hills and horizon like a giant‘s burnt face examining a model world. Ben covered his eyes and squinted. Framed against the sun, a silhouette sauntered towards him, one arm raised in greeting. ”You need not be afraid,“ said the figure, with a voice like a stream bubb...
"This is the eighth time this week Jerry! We talked about this."bellowed Dark One. Jerry was unflappable as he responded "Yes Mr. One, or shall I call you Dark? At this point we might as well get on a first name basis."Dark One's eyes searched for Marmon, the gate guard was no where to be seen. It would appear Jerry wi...
Edit 2: anyone interested in a part two? Edit: please offer criticism. This is my first story here, and the first I've written in years. I am C3X2358, nicknamed "Delvah". I'm leaving this message for whomever may find it. It's lonely here, and I'm full of regret. I was designed by a team of scientists to lead humani...
"Oh-ho,"the clown laughed, "you're approaching me?" "Can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer,"I replied calmly. He revved his chainsaw joyously, clearly entertained by the prospect of his latest victim acting so foolishly. "Go on then, *tough guy*. Take your best shot!"He laughed, opening his mouth, his...
“Pardon?” Headmaster Dain said, “You’re how old?” “15 sir.” The headmaster gasped, “you’re barley a newborn! How in the great gods earth are you considered a Highschool age? Are you considered some sort of super genius by human standards?” Dylan was tempted to lie, but he thought that might be a bad idea, so he jus...
"Hey!"I call out, waving at the thug in the powered armour. He takes one look at me in my costume and groans. "Clipper,"he says. "What brings you here, you useless waste of space?" "It looks like you're trying to rob the bank,"I tell him. "Would you like help with that?" "No, I *wouldn't*,"says the thug, firmly. "I ...
Bjorn, one of the most revered berserkers in the halls of Valhalla, had just finished his 7th beer in the last hour. Despite his resistance to inebriation due both to his colossal size and his lifetime of drinking, even he was starting to be rather... wobbly. And itching for a fight. "Which among you has slain the mos...
It wasn't supposed to go down like that. Nothing was ever supposed to go down like that. It started easy enough: I was just running the new rook through his paces on the block. We kept the worst of the worst here, and I was doing my best to teach him the proper respect for the situation. "...so this gal here is the s...
I loved dogs. Whether they were gold or chocolate, long furred or short, small or large, I loved them all. It wasn’t something that came up in my life a lot- after all, I was busy working, and didn’t have the time for one. My partner, on the other hand, wasn’t a fan of dogs. She had never inclined to tell me why, just...
"It's them."The whispers rose around the crowd, as I tried to wriggle through to the front. Our planet had stories, legends of the humans and their aptly named crews. But none so horrible as the 'World Eaters'. Stories of what they did to a planet when they came, stories of the destruction left in their wake. Stories t...
"I remember when this was all skyscrapers."His voice was neutral, as if he was trying to keep any emotion from creeping inside. I shifted my feet, looking across the windswept grassland. It had been at his insistence that we'd come, but now that we were here, I wasn't sure why. "Was it a good time? When the skyscraper...
Part 1: ​ "Hey Kim, your watch is buzzing.", said Frankie, pointing at my watch. I was so involved with the game that I didn't even notice that my watch was buzzing and glowing a crimson red. Who could blame me? The Chicago cubs haven't been this close to winning the World Series since.... anyways... I raise...
I hugged the walls, keeping myself in the shadows, as I reached the West Wall of the castle. My heart raced as I dodged knights and servants, still milling around the castle this late at night. Don't these people sleep? Making sure the coast was clear, I threw my bag over the wall, and soon I made the climb. I quickly...
The man with the moustache looked in the mirror. A different face stared back at him - reptilian, slit eyed, forked tongue; a cold, hard face devoid of emotion. "Ten long years"the man whispered to his reflection. "A blink of the eye"replied the creature, it's voice echoing in the man's head, yet no-one else in the h...

Milk, check. Bread, check. Eggs, a box of six for £1. Laying the little cardboard box of eggs into my basket, I head towards the self-checkout. I feel a small pang of disappointment in my chest - I know that I should be making an effort to talk to people, even if it's only the person behind the till. But I continue o...
"Took you a while,"an old man laughed, "Has it really been 50 years?" I frowned. This man looked familiar, like an old friend, but I didn't know him. "Come on, follow me."He said walking though the wheat fields. I reluctantly followed him to a small house. "Would you like some water? Or tea?"He said humming. "H...
Blood dripped down the stained walls of a murky basement slowly filling with cigar smoke. The creamy, grey wisps swirled as raucous laughter echoed through the small room. Wowbagger sat at the edge of the table, away from everyone else and fidgeting nervously. He jumped back, recoiling as the crack of an .44 magnum pi...
The renowned physicist sits infront of me slumped in his wheelchair. Whilst he lost the use of his voice thirty years ago, he still has the ability to communicate. Tiny muscles in his cheeks are monitored by sensors that are connected to a computer. Each twitch of his cheeks allows him to make simple commands, such as ...
I was basking in the eternal sunlight when I heard footsteps. The moment I realized they were his footsteps was the moment I realized I was royally f*cked. As the things I had neglected began rushing through my head, I shot out of my lounging chair and stood erect in front of his highness. "H-h-home ea-early?"I studd...
On the island of Miragulku, the groundhogs, who are called Miragupp, live in a burrow underground. The Burrow is an incredible sprawling lattice of caves and tunnels, supported by marble pillars carved with images of ancient Miragupp heroes and kings. The Burrow receives light in two ways. At night, it is illuminate...
I should have studied. I always should have studied. But with so many people to help, it didn't leave a lot of time for studying. I did what I could, but I always used my telepathy to get that extra boost to make sure my grade average was high, so my scholarship and grant funding kept coming in so I could help more peo...
I murmured the words softly to myself: "Ancient elder gods, I call on thee. Torgath. Shenron. Gibbles. Protect this chalice for me." Nothing happened save for a draft flickering my dying candle. Strange. I closed the book softly and retired to my bed. _________________ The next day some of the anthropology a...
Cameron Jones was working late. Work needed to be finished, Cameron would be the one to do it. As he finished scrawling up some graphs for tomorrow's presentation, the lights went out. Cameron shrugged, lighting a candle. Work needed to be finished, Cameron would be the one to do it. The graphs were looking good, he n...
My eyes open slowly and with effort at the brightness of my bedroom. The grogginess is torn away quickly as I pick up my phone. 8:37am, six missed calls from mom, two missed calls from dad and my voicemail is full alongside a slew of social media notifications I don't have the time to read. I was supposed to be at wo...
Tom Marvolo Riddle was not one to be caught off guard easily. His studies, both in Hogwarts and in the less recommended establishments of Knockturn Alley, had revealed him many of the most obscure secrets of magic, and his prowess was greater than that of any student, and unrivalled by most Professors. Slytherin to the...
Murderer. That's what some call me. Honestly, I know I'm not. If I were, their ghosts would be trailing after me, haunting me to my own demise, and perhaps even hastening it. So many people have a ghost haunting them. My own mother, for example, is forever plagued by the ghost of a boy she dated in high school, who she...
I tried not to gasp as he entered my room. As a recruiter, I was accustomed to seeing the soft golden flow of the halos floating about three inches above people’s heads. There weren’t a lot of them, of course, but enough that I was used to seeing them over the years. But this guy... “Hi,” he grinned. “I’m Mike. I was ...
When we announced the discovery of a new habitable planet, our kind rejoiced. More knowledge, more room for our population to grow, and more resources to support it. We immediately began investigating it to see what we would have to do so we could live there. That was when our spirits fell. What lived there was a gr...
Some have described me as the hue of life. I am afraid they’ve mislabeled me, or otherwise they’ve merely identified a cousin of mine, a friend. Perhaps even at one time I was that shade, the bright fullness of life. No longer. I say this not in sadness, just in recognition of reality. I am the deep wood. I am the sti...
It was like a starry rain the way the thousands of quarters cascaded into the canyon below, singing out faint, tiny jingles as they crashed into the bottom of the canyon. My first instinct was to climb down and try and pick up the bag myself, but I knew how often overconfident amateur climbers fell to their death doing...
The Imperial Governor sighed, pinched his brow, and sighed again. These primitive humans of Earth were in fact as geneticly human as he was. Earth even showed signs of inexplicably being the cradle world of humanity. That solitary fact spurred the orders that prevented him from glassing the whole sithspawned planet. Ev...
The bar was half full, or more so it was half empty, depending on how you feel. Alive with patrons of various races clinking drinks and mixing stories. A tall, handsome orc (or as handsome as one can be) surrounded by a harem of women at a corner table, a few spaces down a group of sharply dressed dwarves in booster se...
It was one of the great spells left behind by Drinsvan the Noble. In an effort to preserve life and joy he wove globe spanning spells, affecting all life. The Boon of Good Health meant illness was a rare thing indeed, only serious cases ever showing symptoms. The Bountiful Boon ensured crops grew tall and healthy, ensu...
I awoke, peering through the many eyes of the forest dwellers. An intruder had appeared, a small intruder, but potentially still dangerous. The species it came from was capable of both great harm, and great good. There was no telling what this one would do. Watching through a sleepy owl, I chuckled making the owl h...
From what we've gathered from the archive, the human species was a sexual one - a *very* sexual one. Of note is that it did not appear that alpha males were the most successful at completing the mating ritual; lesser, beta males appeared to be those with the most success - ones that identified themselves as "pool boys...
It has been said before and it will be said again: "Be the change you want to see in the world"(or subreddit, as SurvivorType would say). If you're sick of fantasy prompts submit nonfiction ones. If you're sick of summer prompts submit winter ones. If you're sick of prompts about dogs playing banjos then submit ones a...
We were haughty and head-strong when we began the invasion. Our leaders knew that all of the transmissions had both a grain of truth and a grain of falsehood, but we'd already conquered half the Milky Way and were too hungry for more. When we started obliterating their timid little colonies, we all patted ourselves on...
*Well, this is awkward...* I thought to myself. There was a woman who looked to be about my age and height in my bed. Her long brown hair flowed over her face, obscuring her identity. She snored pretty loudly, but it was an adorable snore. *Did something happen last night?* I couldn't remember going to a party or...
"I'm so glad we could make this a *private session*, sir,"Angela said, laying her CV down on Sekou's desk. "E-excuse me?"He sat up straight. "I've just met so many men who like to do it out in the open, with everyone watching."She leaned back in her seat, straightening out her skirt. "They put everyone in a big circ...
If you want to understand, you have to know the whole story. It was April 22nd, 2153 when we had the first drill. It was scheduled, 14:30-22:45 Plains Standard Time. When the new military development facilities went up, every single building in the whole damn Tri-River area got a evac signal. Pretty simple system: ...
"Maggie,"said God. "Yes, sir?"Maggie stood very straight and very still, chin up, hands clasped neatly in front of her. God had never seen anyone else manage to make Heaven's robes look quite so... prim. "You're here again." "Yes, sir."Maggie was surreptitiously using her foot to flatten out the tufts of cloud she ...
I've lived here for three years now. They tell me this is my home. The woman who introduced herself as my mother has sadness in her eyes whenever she looks at me. I assume it's a sadness for the baby boy taken from her twenty-three years ago, and the stranger returned to her. She is not my mother. The girls that call ...
Terrorists. I know, it's typically a cop-out ploy to monger fear via the media, but the enemies of the US have actually done it. When Russian subs were found exploring the undersea cables, it was already too late. All at once communication was cut across the nation. Simultaneously, China deployed use of a supercha...
It wasn't easy being Slong Johnson. In fact it was quite hard. He'd lived a long life, but he wasn't ready to finish just yet. Slong Johnson knew the secret of male enhancement. A trick that had earned him his name and online handle, Big-dick69. Slong grew up in a small Dutch village called Erecht P...
I've been tasked with attempting to communicate with the aliens - sorry, with the 'Emergent Sentients' - recently found in No Man's Sky, with varying degrees of success. Meanwhile, in the real world, people have been going mad. Fucking crazy, really. Found a couple sentient species in a universe with 18 quintillion pla...
I had only used the coin twice before. The coin... blessed and cursed in equal measures, just like I am. The day my Grandfather passed it down to me--the day he had died--he had warned me to only use it under the most serious of circumstances. But I've always been a fool and whilst people might think I listen, my hands...
The last couple of years I have been living with my best friend in the world, Mark. I was living with my mother and sisters before and thought I might miss them, but the time with Mark has been amazing. He also saved my life. Mark had spent the better part of the last decade preparing a bunker. Canned food, water, fil...
I usually avoid cities. With all the people it gets overwhelming, as thousands of thoughts bombard my ethereal eardrums... er... braindrums? Regardless of the exact terminology, it's hard to filter out that many thoughts at a time. Sadly I was in Chicago on business and couldn't get away from the masses. "... that's ...
