[WP] You are the first person in the history of mankind to talk to God. | "So, what have you heard about me?"
Aaron shuffled, "Can't you, uh, read minds and things? So wouldn't you know what I've heard anyways?"

"Yeah, but that's just the Bible. You think God really talked to the guys who wrote the Bible? No way. I'll be a dick if I want to."
I let out a long, heavy sigh and sat back further in my seat. This would be hard to explain. A guy like him, a Deist like... | "You mean... you're real?" I stared at him dumbfounded as he stroked his flowing beard and chuckled.

[WP] As it turns out, those red lines in our eyes aren't veins, but rather a parasitic worm that feeds on ocular information. A Scientist removes them, and for the first time in history humans can see everything they were meant to | It was a delicate procedure. Snip. Required a precision that no-one else was even close to capable of. Push the needle through. No-one but me would try it. The man's mask fogged up as his breath condensed against the plastic. Hmm. This was slow work. He might wake up before we want him to. Nobody understands just how b... | "I said, Put it. Back. In."
"You do realize what that sounds like, right?" The Scientist quietly giggled, his sense of humor getting in the way of the serious nature of the situation.

[WP] In the future, before first contact, humans discover a clean, earth-like planet, covered in cities, but totally vacant. There are no signs of destruction or environmental disaster, but not of life either -- only the machine remains. | It's been sixteen years since me and the boys left earth, and in all that time, we've never passed a livable planet.
The scientists told us we would. They told us it was a statistical inevability--at our speed, and with our radius of sensitivity, we'd be damn unfortunate if we didn't find our own planet in six month... | It looked so good from Earth. Like a second home they all said. Twenty two years to design, build and fly this oversize tin can all the way over here and what do we find?
"Well it's empty at least. That's what we were told by the telescope polishers so it's not like we've been lied to."
Fucking Jeremy. He always find... | |
[WP] A portal to another world has opened. You've been drafted into a recon team tasked with exploring the unknown. |
Years from now Earth has changed. But even with advances in technology and science one thing remains the same. Earth needs heroes. But these heroes don't win Superbowls or solve crimes or even fight in wars for a flag. These heroes start in labs and end up traveling to far off worlds and bring back resources to save a... | It was peculiar, how they chose the members of the recon team. Out of the seven of us, only one person had any scientific knowledge, and even then, his scope only extended to biology and chemistry--nothing that could possibly assist us in quantum leaping. I'm writing this in my journal, even though I initially thought ... | |

[WP] A portal to another world has opened. You've been drafted into a recon team tasked with exploring the unknown. | The clanging of metal against metal woke me from the deepest sleep I'd had in ages. Stupid guards.
"Get up," one of them snapped, kicking my cot.
I sighed, fingers curling around my favorite shank. "You do remember why they put me in here, right?"
Even with my eyes closed I knew the look they exchanged: a veneer o... | Sonnet Number Nine
Another world opens up its dangerous gate.
As is this world to human minds our gladness,
Our other world's a vicissitude of fate,
That's mere existence tempts the mind to madness.
Past that pale portal, I alone trek through;
Unknown, for I to them am alien.
I see the grotesque race, or ... | |
[WP] You find an odd silver bracelet just lying on the ground. Taken aback by its beauty, you put it on your wrist, only to start hearing voices in your head. | John, on his way to church, spotted a silver bracelet on the sidewalk. It was pure silver, and held writing in a language John could not make out. It reminded him of "The One Ring" from Lord of the Rings, so he took it and put it on.
"Dude, what the hell!" A voice yelled.
"Oh God, wait, who-who said that?"

He unraveled th... | |
[WP] You come home to find your wife and son sitting at the table, waiting for you to sit and have dinner with them. Which is odd, seeing as how they both disappeared 10 years ago... | The drive home took twice as long as usual, there being a blizzard outside. I pulled into the drive and turned off the car. It took a minute to realize that the lights were on.
The lights were never on anymore. Not for ten years. Not since the night Jessa and Eric were taken. I climbed the porch steps and inserted the... | It was the smell that made me stop in my tracks. The warm delicious scent of a casserole in the oven that filled the entire little apartment.
Except I'd been at work all day and only just walked in the door. I froze, in the middle of hanging my coat on the wall. Was someone in my apartment? How the hell did they get ... | |
[WP] You're sitting in your kitchen eating breakfast when a man in a lab coat walks in and says, "The experiment is over. Thank you for your time." | “The experiment is over thank you for your time.”
Looking up from my hash browns, my eyes met a man that was as old as time. He had face wrinkles so defined it was like reading a topographical map, hair that barely clung to the rim of his head, and a paper thin white lab coat that cloaked the rest of his body, he smil... | "The experiment is over. Thank you for your time"

Not wanting to stand out in any way, Bob decide that this morning he would eat a bowl of the cereal that was on display the day before at the super market. It was a mad rush, everyone seemed to want it, and Bob didn't want to be left out. "It doesn't look that appealing," Bob thought to himself as he reached for a car... | "The experiment is over.

[WP] You're sitting in your kitchen eating breakfast when a man in a lab coat walks in and says, "The experiment is over. Thank you for your time." | I could still hear the grease sizzling on my crispy, protein packed ripples of mouth watering breakfast bliss.
Bacon, of course. Snugged comfortably in between two farm-fresh scrambled eggs and a flat of golden hash browns the size of my palm.
I surveyed the feast and the jowls of my cheeks slowly filled with saliva... | "The experiment is over. Thank you for your time"

"I said, the experiment is over-"
"What experiment?"
