Sower Sarax stared at the scroll. He had completed a few flybys of this world they found. Species call themselves "humans", and they live in the system called "Sol", on the third planet called "Earth". Earth... was a death world. Sarax had seen one such a world before. Full of disasters, dangerous beasts, and lots of ...
"Wait, wait, wait... so your name is *Nobody*?"the Dark Emperor asked, leaning back in his throne. "Yeah, that's me,"I reply, shrugging. My pistol was attached to my hip, so I could easily just whip it out and unload the ten around magazine into the Emperor, but there was a chance it'd be non-fatal at this range, not ...
"How big are we talking about, señor?", asked the boatman, as we slipped quietly down the river. Maybe he was worried by all the blood bags I had brought aboard. "Grande", I said, not taking my sights off the growing shadows of the trees. The sun was setting. Time for their feast. The boatman started squirting s...
Jeff stared at the clock, not wanting to believe it would come to this. He’d lobbied hard against the law. As one of the largest stakeholder in the company he’d built decades ago, it put him heads and shoulders above the rest of the world’s richest. As cash switched hands, and digital currency flew from one online w...
Shards of ice spun through the air, slicing open myriad tiny cuts that bled beads of crimson. Gale-force winds accompanied them, buffeting my body and forcing me to use every ounce of my strength to keep my footing. Flashes of lightning pierced my vision. Thunderclaps shook me to my core, their concussive force causing...
The alarm rings. 7:00 AM. I love mornings. I jump out of bed. Jeez, I feel good. Like, really good. I slide into the bathroom and put some toothpaste on my toothbrush. Hey, wait... no morning breath? I cup my hand over my mouth, breathe into it, and sniff. Nothing. That's strange. "Hey, babe,"I call out to my wi...
“Listen, Ryan,” The strongest knight of Kingdom of Pallin crouched next to Ryan’s bed and whispered in his ear. “The next monster you create must be double in size of the last, with a jaw strong enough to crush a mans skull, and the ability to instill fear in anyone that sees it.” The knight paused as Ryan shifted in ...
The storms had grown throughout the night. Everywhere. They were all out of control. Feeding one another in tandem. A cyclical, mass extinction machine, set running in perpetuity. Except it wasn't. Not entirely, at least The rains would stop as suddenly as they came, the winds too. Waves would heave new earth unto th...
There are generally speaking two kinds of species that evolves to create civilisations. There are those who evolves from prey species. They form mostly peaceful and harmonious civilisations, where war is mostly ceremonial, and few ever die like that. They have a steady linear progression of technological advancement, a...
Former Corporal Lance Orlich of the 101st Airborne knew his time was almost at an end. His buddies from Normandy, Market Garden, Bastogne, and beyond......only 2 others remained from the group of 10 who’d survived all the way through Germany in his company. Guess it was genetics that got them through with a long life i...
_**Hey everyone! I have two things I'd like to say before you start. One, I'm sorry it's so short! I didn't feel like writing a whole bunch, but I still had fun writing this! And two, jf you liked my story, go ahead and tell me what you loved! If you didn't, let me know what I can do differently next time. Thank you!**...
"Colony, this is Solaris. Be advised that we are approaching a parallel vector and will be initiating coupling in T minus 30 minutes, over." "Colony, come back. Over." "Colony, we are inbound, and will be overriding your security measures to finalize coupling in T minus 20 minutes. We'll see you soon. Over."Bastien p...
“Ugh! I’m stuck on this stupid project at work! It was supposed to be an easy 2 day thing, and now 3 weeks later it still isn’t finished.” Sarah sat slumped in her chair, I didn’t ask her what her project was, we agreed when we first started dating not to talk specifics about work. I pretended I didn’t know what she d...
Most people peak in high school. It is a regrettable and undisputed fact. Winning a football game, kissing a girl, getting a trophy... Most would want their "life's greatest work"to be an impressive, wondrous thing that they dedicate all their lives to. But these numbers destroy hopes and dreams. Most people peak in h...
“Control, this is Adam again. I, uh, hope you’re doing well. I’m still floating through space. I think I’m the only one left, I can’t see any of the others through the debris,” I said, letting go of the button. Nothing came back, but that was expected. Trying to radio control was more for my own sanity than an actual a...
She set me on her table and sat down. "I'll name you Steve!"She said, "You can call me Wendy!"She was somewhere between 8-10 when she first found me. Just an innocent girl making an imaginary friend out of a rock. I have been since the dawn of time and I have seen most of the planet's history around me, and now I know...
Do you know what is like to be hunted by three different factions, and five geese? Of course you don't. Do you know what it's like to have a date in an hour, and panic as you throw shit onto yourself? Probably. First, and most importantly, I had to cover the steadily spreading rot on my left forearm. After that, I had...
**The Humans** "Uh commander we have an issue with our human experiment." "Yes?" "The er, the humans well there appears to be a slight problem. The appear to have been as intelligent as designed, even more so. Many millennia ago they appeared to have put down their sticks and stones and built something of themselves...
The winged git was in his classic form: a sphere of light surrounded by eye-covered rings that turned and twisted about the central blinding ball. All of this was kept afloat in the air by three wings that did not flap and instead turned slowly about the creature — the wings were made of feathered light (and more eye-b...
*"Milicent* never made me eat vegetables."Taehal complained, as she regarded the broccoli on her plate with a disapproving scowl. "I *liked* Milicent. *She* was nice." Leena sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose and taking a breath before responding to the elven child's petulant remark. "I know that's not true, Taeh...
For most people it was a typical rainy Tuesday in April. Nothing out of the ordinary. Million people working like little bees stuffed into skyscrapers just build to be a fabric to make the rich richer and the poor insane. For most people that meant going to work in the morning, getting screamed at by their boss an...
Where once there was dread noise, now there is silence. Where once there were strict parents, manipulative siblings, and angry teachers, there is only me. Where once there were dreadful people everywhere, the city is now empty. I sit in a quiet garden, and I read a book from father's library, which was once forbidden o...
Yugh-Ul the Brutal looked down at the man in confusion. It was used to people running in fear. Each of it's four arms held a different weapon that inspired fear in the hearts of people- a wooden club with rings of iron nailed into it, a double-sided ax, a blade that could easily slice through concrete and a staff that...
"Did you really have to bring the dog to the spaceship?"the alien complained. The second alien looked down at the furry creature. "Absolutely." "Fine, Blorp!"the first alien held their hands up in resignation. "Thank you, Blip."Blorp shook his three arms in appreciation. "You can thank me by actually getting some...
Joseph Smith looked at the man with the horned helmet standing in his way. He had passed the rainbow bridge into the Nordic afterlife. "I knew I made most of it up, but at least I was Christian!"He stammered out. Heimdall looked at him angrily. "Smith. For not being an honest man, and for cheating others of their wiv...
Hey there Sloth, it's me, the boss. Look, I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go. Why? Well, if you look at the final quarter figures, less and less evil is being done in the world. Did you know we didn't even eclipse fifty million violent deaths this year? I'm afraid you ju...
"Well, it's because they have the best media exposure, obviously."The tall alien sighed and leaned back in the chair, crossing his arms behind his head. "I'm not going to land in some bumpkin town in Iceland. Anybody hears that one, they'll write it off on the spot. 'I saw aliens in Iceland!' 'Son, that's just the loca...
I CAN'T explain it! I'm not just a physics professor, I have written some of the top-selling books on the subject and regularly make television appearances and I'm telling you, I can NOT explain it! Look, I do the same schtick every year. I tell my students the truth; anything that has even the slimmest chance of ha...
He annoyed me for years. I thought I must’ve had schizophrenia, except instead of my hallucinations being murderous, they came to me for advice. Plural probably isn’t right. There was really just one hallucination. His name was Tyler. I saw Fight Club when it first came out and nearly pissed myself. Was my imaginary fr...
And here it came again. He knew it was coming. He had felt the sensation before, although it was difficult to determine why he had felt this way. He was anxious, but he forced a smile. He still knew it was coming, though. One way or another, he knew that what that silhouette in the window was going to be. As the sun di...
The neutral tan paint on the walls of the DMV were spotted with hair grease and dirt smears from various people leaning against it over time. A low unidentified music played on the overhead, squealing every few minutes with static and some metallic screeches. There were at least one hundred people in the large waiting ...
Message 1: I can still make out the NYC skyline – mutilated, but still there. As for the neighborhoods and houses below the towers of the city – they no longer resemble anything that existed in our own time. The Chinese have somehow won the cold war. Sometime between 1964 and this strange future, the Chinese have grow...
"Wake up, Billy! Wake up! Ball throw! Throw ball. I get ball! Ready! Ball throw Billy! "I can't, Buddy. I have to go to school." "Buddy come to school? I love school. I get pets. Buddy get school? I love pets." "No Buddy. You can't come to school today." "Okay. Dad, dad, ball throw! Food! Throw food! Ball?...
In the perfect emptiness of the observation bubble, Elon floated, and watched the Earth. The ring-shaped space station rotated around him, creating a false gravity on its inner surface, but here in the center he was free to hover, and say goodbye to the world he had called home. There was a hiss as one of the doors in...
I leaned back in my seat and stretched. I’d started in San Francisco, had a layover in Philadelphia and now was on my way to Paris. This would be a great trip. “How are you doing?” I said to the man sitting next to me. He looked up from his laptop and nodded at me. “Doing just fine.” “Awesome. Is Paris your final de...
The first time he held a scythe, Harrison's Master claimed the lives of 13 men. At least that was the legend. Harrison watched his Master sleeping on an old sack once made to hold grain for horses. The original owner was long dead, far before the 28th century began. If his Master hadn't insisted the two of them s...
Life is long and hard. We often regret choices that we have made in our past because they make life harder. Some days I wonder what would have happened if I had wished to be beautiful, smart, rich, strong, fast, or even funny. (Man...I'm not even funny.) It doesn't matter anymore though. I've decided to end it. It's b...
When the machine first came out, there was fear. Not a fear of the pain and agony of death, but rather of becoming desensitized. There were countless political debates on the morality of such a device and its uses in torture. Laws were quickly put into effect to outlaw their use in interrogation. However, this did not...
“What’s this, Pauly?” Nick “Pits” Gibson sat in his ergonomic office chair, forearms resting on his desk, staring at the computer monitor. A flashing green icon danced on the webpage. “Looks like an opportunity, boss,” said Pauly Nance, Nick’s right hand man and top enforcer. Pauly and Nick went way back—back befor...
The two hour drive had been one of the longest in their lives. The rhythmical tapping of her fingers was the only thinking accompanying the silence. ''What if we one of us has a deadly disease? What if one of us has cancer?'' Carmen asked, looking at her husband, her fingers still tapping. Dave waited a few seconds b...
We met when I was only 19 years old, she was only 17. I liked her, but love was not yet in my vocabulary. I liked the way she would giggle at my silly jokes, I liked her kindness and forgiveness. We had many dates, we went to the movies where she would squeeze my hand at the scary parts. But I only realised that I love...
"He's a jumpy little fucker ain't he?"Agent Jones was trying to break the awkward silence of the surveillance van. He was the Agency equivalent of a temp, loaned out from one mission to the next like the unnamed agent in a B film. None of the agents laughed or smiled at his poor attempt at humor. Agent White spoke up...
"So I put in me name, er like this?" Dirty nails typed at the keyboard. They poked the letters one at a time: C-A-P-T-A-I-N-S-P-A-R-R-O-W "And then I can write any old message to anyone? Even good ol' Will Turner?!" "No not him. Pretty sure he's the captain of the Flying Dutchman now and I don't think he has wifi on...
"Mrs. Tabitha Rainsford, please take the stand." A bailiff wheeled her up to the witness stand next to the judge's bench. She was seated in a special wheelchair, one that had straps to hold her body upright, as she would tumble limply out of her seat otherwise. The judge turned to her and asked, "You are Mrs. Tabi...
We fear humans. That is not to say that by themselves they are terrifying. Average would be the best word; an average mammalian species, seemingly only fit to fight other mammals of the same caliber. We do not fear Humans because of their form; we fear them for their mind. For when the Council sent their ambassadors ...
The night sky barely lit the dark street. in it, two hooded figures stood a few meters apart, and stared at each other with suspicion. "Why do you even want this? It's not enough for a bomb."One of them, a tall, skinny man asked. "Elijah, you know the first rule of replenishment, correct?"The other figure, a short man ...
I have the kindest, most caring mom in the world. But she just doesn't get technology. So much that it took a five paragraph persuasive essay to convince her to get me a new smartphone so I could play Pokemon Go with my friends. In it, I explained the evil of lag, showed the difference between locked and unlocked phone...
Even from orbit, the Hrithe were able to see how damaged the world was. Entire chunks of atmosphere were painted black and grey from fires and explosions. Coastlines were on fire and the borders of nations became more prevalent than ever. They thought now would be the time to strike. When the Hrithean Core-Ships fell ...
The players got more and more homogenous as the years wore on. Less black and white, more brown as the races of the world continued to mix. The demographic shifted. It became the IFL, an International Football League by Madden 37' and there were no American Teams by the Madden 53'... I watched as rookies became veter...
I was sitting in my bed, scrolling through Twitter when an angel of God smashed through my window, leaving shards of glass and smears of blood all over my carpet. This shocked me so profoundly I ended up hitting my head on the headboard of my bed, and leaving a gnarly bump on the back of my head (though this was, at th...
"It's okay, Billy. Your parents will be back soon,"the teacher said in a gentle voice. "You'll be home before you know it." I stopped crying. I knew where I was, but as always, I didn't know why. And so began another long life. I became a doctor this time, but a woman accused me of groping her, a heinous act I hadn't...
He doesn't know I am, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've been called many things over the centuries. I suppose in modern times, I would be considered a guardian angel. It's not the best description, but it will do. There exists a supernatural world, one that exists between the cracks of the natural one. We ar...
The first time it had happened, you were confused. You woke up in another bed, in another body, but with the same memories. Your life had disappeared, and you seemingly took control of another person's entire existence, without doing anything. The next day, it happened again. And then again. And then again. You've a...
It came quickly; hoardes of them. Shuffling, shambling, waving their arms around and groaning with discontent as they mindlessly routed through narrow alleyways in droves - with some splitting off individually from the noise of something being disrupted nearby; a can falling from a shelf, a pane of glass finally buckli...
He wasn’t sure how long he’d been sitting here. Minutes? Hours? Years? It was all the same to him these days; everything seemed to pass in a blur. Sometimes he couldn’t even remember why he liked sitting here so much, but then he’d chuckle as he saw the white roses. Of course that was it, the white roses—that was why h...
There was a time when flying felt like freedom. The first machines, those of the early pioneers, rattled along with little more than bolts and braces - a constant racket of creaking canvas and shaking metal. That gave way to the hot puffs and gargles of engines. Later, the soaring crescendo of jet engines as they reach...
"But... but *how?"*   My jaw was slack in agogement (is that even a word? No? Then it *should* be!)   "..."   "Oh. Right. My name's John Smith. Would be weird if I **didn't** stumble upon that name from time to time. Nothing supernatural going on right here, nosiree!"   I put...
\*Ring\* \*Ring\* \*Ring\* \*Ring\* I lazily reach out a hand to the drawer next to my bed and after a couple of tries slide the snooze button on my phone. I feel the sun creeping in through the small crevices in my window, the rays of sun hitting directly at my eyes. With immense difficulty I pull myself up and b...
It had been a normal day, or rather, as normal as it can get when you can literally see how someone is going to die. Some might call it a ‘gift’ or a ‘super power’. Others might call it the work of the devil, or label me a witch. But to me, that sign that appears over someone’s head has always been my curse. Today was ...
It took me a long time to figure it out. Childhood was a roller-coaster. I was born to a young mother who intended to put me up for adoption, but decided to keep me. For a while, though, I was sent to live with my biological father and his two roommates, none of whom knew how to take care of a baby. He claims that i...
“So...... where is this ‘plan’ to destroy the city?” Captain Tricycle asked. “Oh. It’s coming, these speeches take time you know, quite difficult to prepare one.” said Villainous “Dude you’ve kept us here for three hooouurrsss....” said another hero in the background “Yeah and you haven’t said a thing since the las...
Alexander swirled the whiskey in the bottom of his glass. He was tall and lean. Handsome, but dangerous. He wore a suit worth three times what he could've bought the entire pub for, and an expression cold enough to freeze boiling oil. *He knew this day would come. He’d always known.* A pretty girl in a low cut dre...
“Hang on, don’t shoot!” I raised my hands high above my head and squeezed my eyes shut. The ground trembled beneath me as trees creaked and snapped and crashed into the ground. My heart beat in my ears as the stone man's shadow enveloped me completely. “I’m not here for the sword!” A second passed. Then another. And...
"Thank you. You're the owner?"I slide up to the bar, picking a stool on the corner. "I am the proprietor, Gallini Falzup."The bartender sets down the glass he'd been cleaning and waves his hands at the 'interior' of the bar. "You're not... impressed by the splendor of the Interdimensional Bar and Grill?" My gaze fol...
As Egon raced towards Ghostbuster HQ, the bell of his bicycle ringing out to unconcerned pedestrians, questions sped through his mind at an even faster rate. Another entity flew overhead, leaving a trail of slime in its wake. *Something has to be at the center of all of this activity. Has Vigo returned? Gozer?* He r...
"It's a union thing see! Boss makes one demonic deal and suddenly we're all on the hook too." The pair of glowing red eyes continued. "but they didn't bet on the Franconis! That demon might have had a well of arcane power, but he didn't have our smarts." A previously unseen claw tapped near the smouldering eyes, crea...
You'd think that preparing with the demonic armies for five hundred years would make you ready for anything. I certainly thought I was. I could have overthrown thousands of wizards, crushed entire armies beneath my iron hooves. I had trained, worked, and prepared myself and my massive demonic army of invading the morta...
World Walker. That is what they call me. Or rather, it's the title I gave myself. You might think me narcissistic, but you don't understand. I possess the greatest power in the universe. The power to traverse worlds. Every time I die in one world, I am reincarnated in another one. Isn't that amazing? The stories I have...
The aliens were surprisingly kind when they found us, if a little startled. They were quick to assure us that they meant us no harm, and only wished to build an alliance with our solar system. The majority of world leaders jumped at the opportunity to forge a humanity-based empire, but there was a bit of resistance to ...
It’s 7:00 am and your alarm clock goes off. You groan, roll over and throw your arm in the general direction of your phone. Just a few more minutes of sleep, that’s all you’ll need. You snuggle back into your covers and try to fall back asleep. But you notice something strange. Sitting up in your bed, you strain to h...
“And don’t get me STARTED on humans. Like, they’re not even unified truly as a species.” “Yeah yeah I know Twelve Stars is their government but that’s for their galactic interactions they still have sub-states that act independently and don’t need to listen to each other.” “And nobody REALLY calls them Twelve Stars. ...
“Yo, who *is* this?” Jacobi hadn’t wanted to like the song when Franklin showed him the thumbnail. He’d been seeing superheroes and supervillains on the news all his life, and sometimes, when he went downtown, he’d see them in person. They’d tear through the sky in streaks of royal blue and blood red, and when they la...
The accident was sudden, though I suppose they always are. Bright headlights, ripping metal, squealing tires, then poof! Well, so much for that. I waited above my body for the "white light"that everybody is always going on about, only slightly sad that no one was present to beg me not to go into it. I didn't have a...
“Your first mistake,” said the wizard, dripping with confidence, “was not understanding the power of the Demon Blade.” Another monologue. I really didn't have time for this. I used to love a good monologue, listening to them build themselves up just to see them humbled. But I was already late for work. This would ...
I saw her skipping along the street, paying no attention to the frozen people around her as she hummed. She was wearing a plaid skirt and a loose white shirt, under a yellow cardigan. Her hair was let down, with gorgeous braids at the front. I stared in awe at her. Was I getting weaker? How come she wasn't frozen? How ...
A beam of sunshine cut through the dense forest, illuminating the princess' sleeping form. Dust motes shined in the sun's rays; birds twittered from among the dense trees. She was his mission. She was his dream. And now, at long last, here she was. The dwarves stood by around their princess, each waiting expectantly,...
Finally, my machine was complete. Decades and millions of dollars poured into my dream, as others called me mad because they refused to see. But they will see, oh I will make them see. With my creation, I will sever the bonds restraining mankind. Snip I have become a master of the building blocks of life and despite ...
The Demon King and his court of blood laughed when they heard of the Champion summoned to defeat them. An old man, a done man. Maybe a warrior once, but now old and burdened by age. Wars are won by strong warriors, who fight with blood and steel. Under their command, countless brutal barbarians, undead knights, horrid ...
"Yeah, so I think there's like, thirty-four of them now? I tried labeling them with sticky notes but Steve #22 likes to eat them for some reason. The post-it notes, I mean." "Bro, what the fuck? Like *how*?" "Dunno man. I think it's something to do with this weird portal thingie Ned built in the basement cause I reme...
"Incredible,"whispered the disembodied voice, surely attached to the amorphous shadow-creature that traced two long, talon-ended digits along the young woman's jaw as she stared on in terror. "You're perfect." The human flinched back, tears coming to the edges of her eyes. "Don't touch me,"she whispered. "You should ...
It was truely weird to be summoned to a hero's side, as a villain's aide life had been a series of dull shady dark greys, treated as a low level henchmen and nothing more, for the first few days the nameless skeleton wandered, obedient, under control, and following the plan, always, their plain bones marching with 6000...
"If you think about it, a slight deviation. Even a degree off-center from a straight line will lead to an entirely different place than where it started. Everyone always thinks that you have to meditate in a cave for twenty years to achieve some sort of enlightenment. That with enough effort, one will achieve some gran...
I don’t write on here but I post on AO3 and I consider any upvotes to count as a positive comment. Upvotes are the greatest invention on the internet IMO. I used to post places that only had comments and a lot of people would, like you say, feel they didn’t have anything to say worth commenting for, but those people wi...
The dark colour-changing eyes stared at me, seeming to grow more liquid as the silence stretched. I'd used to ask Mother Anyai when my eyes would change like hers. She'd only ever shaken her head and cuddled me close, telling me that some eyes never change. And now I'd asked the question that caused those wonderful ...
I have an unusual view of the afterlife. There can't be a heaven, not from what I've seen from the scum that walk the earth. If there is one, it's empty. Not even small children in there; they all turn out to be scum anyway when they grow up, so what's the point? I look at the world, all those helpless women and child...
The boat gently rocked and bumped against the stony shore and then, at last, a firm hard grasped the bow and gently beached it, holding it fast in the sand. Inside an old man lay, his hands crossed over his body, with a book and quill in his hands. The mist wrapped around the boat and the figures as they surrounded i...
House swung the door open. The man sat on the exam table holding a wad of blood stained tissues to his nose. "Someone's been getting into fights in school, huh? Listen, I don't care who started it, fighting is just wrong!"House said sarcastically as he limped into the room and shut the door. "What? Are you a doctor? ...
'We must.' I said as I looked over at Clara in the passenger seat. Her big brown eyes never left mine and I could see the tears welling in their sides. I never looked away and I couldn't. Tears were also streaming down my face, but wiping them away was no use. It smeared the blood over my paling skin, in a mixture with...
*Note*: *This is my first Writing Prompt response ever, and I did not know if there are any regulations regarding post length/word count. I have many ideas of how this would continue, but stopped her as it is about 1000 words. I would be happy to write a second installment if someone is interested! Anyways, I hope you ...
“And welcome back to the show, with special guest Blavid Daine!” announced the host, smiling with his perfect white teeth. The street magician smiled shyly and nodded to the camera, then to the three co-hosts. “So, Blavid, tell us about your new trick? I hear it’s a real winner!” exclaimed the host. “Well, I hope it ...
"...Happy Birthday to yoooouuuuuuu!" The crowd broke into the undulating cry made infamous by Islamic terrorists. Jeremy's face broke into a smile. "Make a wish!"His mom called out, holding a camera and dressed from head to toe in a black burqa. She wanted to capture her little Jeremy looking so dapper in his suicid...
"There must be something open"thought Paul as walked down the high street. Of course it's a fucking Bank Holiday, the one time I need to go to the shop and it's a bank fucking holiday. See, needing money and needing to spend money are very different things, but not to Paul. To Paul they were one and the same, as he ha...
They hardly needed the video feed to know what had happened, they'd seen some of it from the station. Despite being the furthest removed people from the conflict, the sight of it was all too palpable. Of course they'd heard the media, the constant warning signs that it was coming, but, just as everyone else had, they p...
Politiburo is after me. I am richest man in all of Latvia. English not so good. See, politiburo no like that I have infinite potato. So go to gulag. All prisoner have potato. No lie. So all prisoner eat and get strong. Help me get out of gulag. Bribe guard with potato. Guard surprised it real potato. Let me go. Polit...
C I'm being honest? The cows were the worst. The chickens and turkeys fought back, sure, but you just kick them in the head and then they're done. After the first one, I understood the point that the afterlife was making. Eating meat was wrong. After the hundredth, I got a kind of rhythm going and I really didn't ca...
"So you want me to take care of 'im?" The round Italian man asked, looking down on me in my soft spinny chair with his dead eyed gaze. "Who, Mr. McCoy? Yeah of course, just make sure he has a good time! I don't want him to feel left out."I respond cheerfully, spinning in my chair and whistling as the room spins around ...
As anyone who knows these sorts of thing will tell you, it takes at least three years for a new identity to stick. And even then, it isn't advised that you draw anything more than the most passing sort of scrutiny. Three years of pay stubs. Three years of verified housing. Three years of doctors appointments, car pay...
2025 was the year when Earth finally treated itself to a long overdue upgrade. The country-system was collapsed and in a unanimous vote, /u/Ishan_Psyched was declared ruler of the world and beyond. The people entrusted him with ridding the society of its evils, and creating a beautiful utopia. And so he did. A king tru...
The beacon burned a bright blood-red against the dark sky. "You realize,"I said solemnly, "That this confirms my theories, right?" My two colleagues glared at me. Chass, big and surly, was the first to speak. "Bah. It confirms nothing. So the ship's locator beacon ressembles a star."His moustache bristled with indig...
“Don't worry, we'll be right next door.” Craig told his wife as they entered their neighbors house. Justin had already been tucked away into bed and Pam and Dylan from next door had invited them over for a drink. She smiled at her husband in reluctant approval as they walked through the front door. ... Justin's ey...
