[WP] (drops weapon) "Shit. I just realized something." "What?" "We're the bad guys....." | "CRAP!"
I dropped my gun and ran to the now lifeless body of the boy I just killed. He appeared to have a punctured lung, and was bleeding out on the floor. I fell to my knees crying, and placed my head on his chest to listen for a heartbeat.
"Oh my god! Your alive!" I exclaimed, " Thank God!"
At this, his eyes open... | I set the scythe down. "I think we're the bad guys."
Nina looked up from her book, "Eh?"
"Bad. All of a sudden, I have this feeling in my gut, like maybe we're not doing the world any favors."

[WP] When you wake up in the morning you have been transported back in time as your younger self. You keep your current knowledge and skills.
Based on a dream I had a couple of weeks ago. It's been haunting me (in a good way) ever since. | "Say, did you hear about EphesosX? The 12 year old child prodigy?"
"Yeah, I heard he passed the SAT at age 6. And started his PhD at 10. Incredible. They say he just sort of knows everything, he devours textbooks so fast i swear he can't even be actually reading them."
"I heard he's a ridiculous finance whiz. Seems t... | Awakening under the shine of the stars was an unfamiliar sight, but yet felt so nostalgic. These stars were the glow-in-the-dark ones my Dad stuck for me as a kid. Why were they here? Climbing out of my bed still shaken-up, it took me a little too long to notice how close the floor was.
