[WP] A person who can travel between an infinite amount of universes. The possibilities are endless. The only catch is that he doesn't know where he'll end up next.
The red paper lanterns of the harvest festival swung in the wind, making the light dance over the crowd of people in the dark main street of the village. Most were having conversations of various states of intoxication, others dancing while the band played on acoustic instruments, god knows how much we spent on them. T...

[WP] The year is 2XX5. The Earth has been condemned, no longer fit for human life. The Ecumenical Human Preservation Coalition has mandated that all humans MUST leave Earth. A small society of humans have stayed behind. This is their story.
Time to lie. Every day our team gets a call at noon. Every day someone different answers. Every day we say the same thing. "It's not safe yet." Beck snickered noisily behind me. I silenced him with a look. We can't mess this up now, not after years of putting on this charade. Today, it was my turn to answer the ca...

Edit: Formatting The Asian Confederation, established in 2149, had funded the production of enough space vehicles for the entire human race, or at least what was left of it. After NAFTA's pollution disaster, the War of the Americas, and the Mediterranean Genocide, the human population was estimated to be about 400 mil...

*No*, he thought to himself, *I promised that was the last time.* The man looked down at the table which was the only piece of furniture left in the crumbling abandoned shack. There was no food on the table, only a scratched metal fork. Ever since the war he had been living like this. *Well, almost all the time.* He...

The mighty pterodactyl approaches its prey, the *Whatever pterodactyls eat*. The *Whatever pterodactyls eat* is a timid creature, yet its agility matches this timidity. Its movement across Darwin's field of battle is deft and graceful, but this ability is no match for the pterodactyl's ravenous swoop of justice. The...

[CW] Tropeday #6: Constants and Variables
Saving this for later. Shattered World features a broken link, btw, and I'm not sure whether "less than class two" references classes 1&2 or 3 to 5. I've also got no idea how to use in Spite of a Nail on a fantasy world, but I might need to reread that.

It had been two weeks in her new school in LA and so far things had gone a lot better than they had in Vegas.
