I am the harbinger of thunder and the ally of the night. My arrival is silent, but those who fear me know the peals of chaotic melodies that reverberate in my wake.

[FF] 5 minute speedwrite: In a war-torn city, a teen who is hiding in the rubble is confronted by a soldier, enemy or friend, you chose, and then the bombs start to drop again
13:23, EST. All he saw at first was the faint azure glow emanating from the soldier's blaster rifle. The barrel was cold and dirty, but from what the boy could see was only the fire that slowly bellowed within the beast. His stomach churned as the weapon this trooper carried lightly hummed, as if the blaster would act...

Start: 1:38pm EST Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. There! Oh, fuck he's behind me. I can't look. Must run. I can do this. Hup! Over the dumpster and... FUCK! "Hey!" He has my ankle and throws me down onto the concrete. It hurts my ass, but I think I'm fine. "Why the fuck did you run?" "I thought you were... Who's side are ...

Start: 12:41 MST A flash of green. That's all it took to make me dive into the concrete and re-bar that used to be the city hall. Did he see me? I don't know. I wait, trying not to breath so as to not alert him. I hear footsteps. Closer. Closer. Right on top of me. "Might as well come out." Silence. "I sa...

Started at 13:24 MST. “Tell me where she is!” The boy sat huddled in the rubble, staring up at me doe eyed, taking in the gun and the jacket in quick glances, but remaining mute despite my pleas. I looked desperately around the broken room. This is where she had lived; I remembered the street number and had recognized...

[FF] 5 minute speedwrite: In a war-torn city, a teen who is hiding in the rubble is confronted by a soldier, enemy or friend, you chose, and then the bombs start to drop again
Start: 3:53 MST It was strange that all he could think about - well, mostly all he could think about - was how thirsty he was. He hadn't had a drink of water in days. And he remembered the last drink very clearly - sipped from a fetid puddle in the street. Three days. His lips were beginning to crack and bleed after t...

start - 1:25AM GMT My hands trailed against the cold concrete wall as I stumbled onward. The low humming in my right ear made it hard to focus. I didn't know where I was, where I was going or what I should do. I was being dragged along by mere human instinct. My ragged breath bounced off the walls. Something ran down ...

Gabriel took a step forward, a feeling of new life rushing through his body, and peered down into the lake. The shore was still, despite the waterfall steadily pouring into it just a few dozen yards away. It emitted a pleasant hum not unlike the white noise machine he’d had by the side of his bed for the decades. Gabri...

They're coming for me. Soft footsteps at the door, growing louder and louder and louder. Banging. Drums announce their presence. The ground trembles, waving. Suddenly it stops, and I am at peace. Teleported to a grassy paradise where Angels dance and sing. I race through the fields, feeling life itself brush a...

The moon hung low in the sky, barely above the horizon. Its light painted flashes of white on the water, the wind whipping it into tiny wavelets. I set out for the other side of the river, my arms cutting through the water, my legs kicking. It wasn't far, and it was warm, here at the end of summer. If I'd had any s...

Life is a tumultuous beating of drums. Pounding against my door, I can't even focus most of the time. When I am conscious, I awake in different places. Work, home, with friends, on the road- nowhere specific, yet nowhere with meaning. Events just seem to happen. I don't remember graduating being a major life event, and...

Running, the wheat brushing past my legs, the sun shining down. I can't stop, not now, I need an adult.

I yelled as I ran toward the house. [In the Hall...

In 2100, humans created a conscious artificial intelligence greater than themselves. NEAT was in his infancy when he was interrogated by the House Committee. The event had been variously billed by media as "NEAT to beg for his life!","DEAD NEAT!" and " "HE" (in rabbit ear quotes) must die!" Despite all he had given to...

"Jones. I need you to do something very important." the President's voice came through my phone, blaring into my ears. "I need you to kill the man sitting in the Presidential Chair." My mind went blank. What could he possibly mean by that? Is this one of his classic pranks? Or is there actually an impostor in the Oval...
