In which we write dramatically about children's games (mine's hangman)
"God damnit! We've been hit again, I don't know how much more hull damage we can take!" Lieutenant Anderson brushed the sweat off his thick eyebrows. "We have to move, there is no other option." Some privates said in the back, their voices breaking in terror. "That's right, let's just go full starboard 25 kts!" "No, ...

She wiped a solitary drop of sweat from her brow. Then she stepped forward into the sunlight. She was the third daughter of the family and was the clumsiest as well. Her father had forbidden her to cross the threshold into a foreign city, where dusty dirt paths gave way to sun-washed sidewalks. Her mother unknowing...

He drew the long strokes on the paper. He was finally finished. Michael was only 10 but he loved drawing. He drew in different sizes, shapes, different colours too! When he was finally done, he removed his brush. Dicks, dicks everywhere. They had wings, they had swords, they were dicks. The dicks flew around, fogging t...

In my language, there is no equivalent for the word "violence." Well, there kind of is; however, it has about as much modern connotative power as the word "alchemy" does in English.

I bought Timmy a puppy. It's golden locks shone brightly in the sunlight. Timmy took his first steps balancing against the faithful dog. My husband and I took Timmy and his puppy to the park yesterday. The puppy chased a fluttering butterfly into the street. A truck promptly flattened the puppy.

"Lord forgive me for what I am about to do is not your greater plan," stated Tommy. He raised the gun to his forehead and paused, wondering if it wasn't a correct thing to do.

-056 Max leaned on the horn. It sounded sudden and loud, causing Eleanor's mother to jump as she descended the steps with her basket of wash. He threw a hand out the window and waved his apology with a smile. She waved a fist at him, while carrying the basket on her hip. She smiled to let him know she wasn't mad. Ele...

It was irrevocably true. Harry Potter was not special. He was a kid ...an orphan with terrible relatives. His cousin was a fat, overbearing, spoilt pig. Aunt Petunia was a wretched woman who utterly loathed him. Uncle Vernon really was sending him to saint Brutus's. Harry Potter had no friends no wife there'd never be...

"Order! I call order!" Nebbum, god of sleep, banged his gavel on his podium. "We must come to order this instant!" Wudall, god of toast, rolled his eyes and turned to the shouting god next to him.

Zeus rose to his feet, his robe catching the edge of his chair slightly as he stood. “I will not stand for this,” he shouted, then paused. “Figuratively.” “Just give the humans one thing, that’s it. Just one thing,” Prometheus replied from across the hall. “Why are you so damn stingy. This is like fire all over again...

Aphrodite slapped a crinkling stack of papers on the large oak desk of her coworker Eros. "Thirty two knew matches made, three new marriages." "These were all due last wednesday."

March 4th, 2037. Pandora's Box. If you were to ask any living human alive the most importance event in human history, it wouldn't be Jesus' birth, wouldn't be the Battle of Waterloo, nor the atomic bombs dropped on Japan.

"How is that even possible? Or fair?" The afterlife wasn't as glamorous as Rebecca had hoped that it would be. It was pretty good, sure. But she had hoped for - better.

The world crashed around them, all six billion humans. The world screeched to a halt it had seemed.
