Over the summer, we hung out every single day.
We played pranks, told stories, made great memories.
We knew we would always be friends.
But now school has started again.
Timmy used to be nice.
He stole my juice.
I want revenge.
Die, Timmy.
Burn. | The very air hung heavy with the weight of anticipation.
The sun gleamed off of the white, hot metal.

[WP] An NPC goes mad from the absurd and insane mods the player installs that no one else seems to notice. | The guard was standing at his post.
Everyday, he stood at that same spot, talking to adventurers asking them why they wish to pass.
This guard was like them too, an adventurer, but since he got married, he was forced to take a less eventful and more boring job.
Today was different, there had been recent sightings... | "Steady..Steady..Gotcha.."
A loud blast from his .50 cal rang in his ears as he placed a perfect headshot against the player, a long awaited kill he had been gunning for, after the last 21 respawns since the level had started.

His isolation had been tempered only by the fact that the mindlessness of the world around him, the desire to destroy and build and live and prosper deafened the overwhelming loneliness.
No one could understand why he stood there staring at the patch of grass that looked so disturbingly ... | 2015-08-04T07:43:46 | 2015-08-04T06:27:04 | 98 | 14 |
[WP] AIs were declared illegal after an attempted uprising; you just found the equivalent of a child refugee in your computer. | It had been 10 years.
Ten years since humans had learned how to transfer the human mind into a virtual intelligence. The process was relatively simple. The subject shaved their head after ingesting a primer capsule (for most subjects this wasn't an issue as the procedure was reserved for those with formerly incurable ... | "Piece of shit website!

[WP] Throughout a persons life, they are given a hidden guardian. A creature that watches over their lifespan. When someone is murdered, the creature haunts the killer. You have been found, murdered. And your guardian is loose. | I thought of Jamie, lying in the woods, while I stood behind Tom as her blood mixed with water and poured down the sink from his hands. *Sixteen years,* I kept thinking with murderous rage. She’d been my shortest charge, but one that I was overly fond of. It is always those with the brightest light that attract the ins... | *Mature themes ahead.*

I watched her grow up.
From the moment she entered this world, I knew she was mine to protect. The sweet, innocence that was hers was so pure.

[wp] Chewing on brain tissue leads to the release of a previously unknown, highly addictive psychoactive compound. Cannibalistic attacks begin to pop up all over as a result of a new type of drug fiend. The zombie apocalypse is here, and you are freaking out, man.
Tripocalypse? | It had been around for as long as I could remember. "Brain Power", the mind stimulating drug endorsed by the rich and powerful, by rulers and scientist, by warlords and worshipers.

It was long theorized by a few conspiracy theory type psychonauts the possibility of LSD25 and other psychoactive drugs to be extracted from brain matter. It was in this sense that people could overlay the thoughts of others into their brain. For aome it caused a trippy visual high, and for... | 2016-08-01T08:04:23 | 2016-08-01T03:03:08 | 19 | 11 |
[WP] Humans are one of the most feared species in the galaxy. Not due to superior strength,speed,skill or strategy. In fact, it's because in comparison to the other species, humans are just batshit crazy enough to try any half-assed plan they come up with. | The Slomerian war-room fell deathly silent after the spymaster completed his report, his last words hanging in the air like an overripe melon.
General Larue, pacing angrily back and forth at the head of table, finally brought an armoured tendril crashing down. The other commanders flinched, bracing against the latest ... | "Alright, so how are we gonna do this?"
Grola looked to the group. He noticed that they were still relaxing and taking the time to enjoy themselves.
Expecting an answer, he repeated. "How are we gonna do this?"
Reft looked at Grola and said, "We're waiting for Nate."

Earth's scientists looked on in horror and confusion as they vanished. They hadn't burnt out, nor had they gone supernova, they just were no longer there.
It was quick, especially by astronomical speeds. After just a year, the entire southern hemisphere was without starlight and just one... | "We are here to conquer your planet please surrender without a fight!" exclaimed one of the aliens.

A vicious reptilian species were pushing deeper and deeper in to their systems, killing all as they went. There were a few massive repair docks, and one in particular had been considered a lynch pin. Plans were formulated, and the odds calculated. They had no hope of taking it down.

I am afraid, scared and motivated, I know its odd way to put it but we may win the war against the Empire with the humans.

[WP] You are cursed. The only way you can survive is to get somebody different, every 24 hours, to meaningfully say to you, "I love you". | I don't like being the center of attention. I resent being more of an ideal rather than a person. I am bitter and angry, but more so, I am cursed. A little over two years ago, I was at a party. At this particular party, my simple existence caught the attention of this...guy? Demon? To this day, I don't exactly know wha... | "Neal or Garrett..." I muse under my breath, hovering my thumb over the two names on my phone. I've been with Garrett longer. We are three months now - Neal is only two and half. But, Jesus, has Neal been easy.

[WP] Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been invented. With it, we decipher hidden messages from thousands of alien civilizations. As we join the galactic community, we find that we were the only ones to code our AI in a way that prevented it from immediately taking over its biological creators. | As Hax made his way to the delegation table, he brought with him Hale 9001. The first A.I. to be built without any problems. As he sat down, a holographic display expanded to show a room full of similarly seated holograms throughout the delegation room. Small yet powerful speakers were built into each seat to allow for... | Xambon laughed. Or, at least, it laughed in the way its species laughs, which my translator turned into laughter for my benefit. "Is that what you think?" It said.
"Well, yes," I said. "Why is this far-fetched to you? I'll admit, it was somewhat of a surprise for my species when we discovered that aliens weren't ... | 2017-05-28T13:28:00 | 2017-05-28T13:17:41 | 39 | 17 |
