Liam blasted, "How insulting! You're sacking me and replacing me with a 7 year old."
Christyn appeared apologetic, "Sir, we're genuinely sorry, but this decision has been made to benefit our business."
"What does a 7 year old know about business?"

“Yes, thanks.” Chris peered down the hallway from his armchair. “They’re asleep, I think. Thank God for that.”
Amber smiled as she returned with the tea tray. “I didn’t think it was such a bad day. I admit they’re hard to deal with, but nothing the two of us can’t ... | 6 | 0 | 6 | 35,179 |

“What’s wrong, mom?” Garen’s piping little voice startles me, and I drop the notebook on the floor.
Flustered, I quickly pick it up and shove the loose papers inside, making sure that he couldn’t see any of the test results.
I know that he’s too smart to be fooled, but he’s tactful enough that he pr... | 3 | 0 | 6 | 35,180 |

[WP] You live in a world where gravity is a paid service, and you forget to pay your bill on time | *Goddamit!* Why did I choose to eat cereal for dinner today. As goblets of almond milk seep into my hair and eyebrows I close my eyes and reflect on the poor, poor particular decision to postpone something as vital as the gravity bill.
Sure, some people would intentionally throw float parties where a bunch of people p... | 19 | 0 | 28 | 35,182 |
[WP] You live in a world where gravity is a paid service, and you forget to pay your bill on time | I started to feel kind of light headed. Well light bodied would be a better way to put it. I was on my way to work. My only goal for the day was to avoid feeling unfulfilled by my days work. I was wearing my finest suit today, no reason in particular just to feel good. As a "Gravity Tax Collector" in this day and age y... | 5 | 0 | 28 | 35,183 |

[WP] You live in a world where gravity is a paid service, and you forget to pay your bill on time | I am face to face with my ceiling. Though this usually happens when one wakes up in the morning, I am awfully close to my ceiling. In fact, I feel its cold texture as it cradles my body. My arm whirls through the blanket, pushing against my chilly companion. I accidentally propel myself toward my nightstand and rem... | 1 | 0 | 28 | 35,185 |
[WP] You live in a world where gravity is a paid service, and you forget to pay your bill on time | I jog around the loop once more. My legs strain to push me faster, struggling for a fraction of another meter per second. It's good to feel the weight of my body against the reinforced steel floor. On Alduna Station, gravitational substitutes are a rare commodity. The other runners and I have it easy; we never let our ... | 2 | 0 | 28 | 35,186 |

[EU] Disney universe: Corona and Arendalle (Tangled and Frozen) have gone to war. | “B-7” said Peter.
Frank shook his head. “Nope. Missed my battleship.”
Peter pondered for a moment as he looked down at the game. It was getting close, both had sunk most of each other’s ships with only a few left. “Fine,” he shrugged. “Your turn.”
His friend nodded. “This really isn’t what I expected when I joined t... | 5 | 0 | 5 | 35,189 |

Viewing his victims memories, the hacker begins to reconsider committing the theft. | I was born with focal cortical dysplasia. Along with the terrible seizures, the enlarged frontal cortex provided me the mental acuity to navigate the grey-noise in the brains of people I broke.

Viewing his victims memories, the hacker begins to reconsider committing the theft. | I;m not in a writing mood, but I still have an idea. I think it'd be cool if the mindhacker sees that the guy in the memories was stalking him and paid him to mindhack him, so that an assassin can kill him while he's distracted. Or something along those lines. Someone else can use it if you like | 0 | 0 | 7 | 35,195 |
