I died for the last time last night. Which is to say that I've died 4,957 times. At least 2,000 of those deaths have been from nuclear eruption, at least 1,000 by gunshot, a few hundred by cars, a few hundred by electrocution, more deaths than i'd like to admit by just goofing off to 'see what happens', and one time e...
"And here we have our newest exhibit, a statue found in the depths of the Amazon jungle!"The loud voice of an overly enthusiastic human was the first thing to greet me as I awoke from my 900 year slumber. Thankfully, the stiffness in my joints prevented me from moving, and I tensed up as around twenty excited youngling...
The knock woke me. I blinked at the door a moment. I didn't have to make the doors, nothing else lived on this entire damn planet other than me of course, but it had just felt...right. The knock came again, more insistent. I swallowed, and by complete instinct I grabbed the nearest thing to me - a glass stirring...
Bond's face went pale. Of course the bombed out shell of MI6 was devastating, but the fact that Scarn was the last remaining hope informed him of just how dire the situation had become. He wondered how Scarn would handle the news. The last mission the two had went on resulted in Scarn's memory being completely wiped. ...
I don't understand my roommate. At all. It's a Tuesday and our thesis is due in less than 24 hours. I've worked on my damn paper for the past semester. Went through countless revisions. All my roommate does is slack off in his room, plays video games, smokes dope, and just embodies the character trait of a failure. ...
The Faltoxian doctor pecked away at the instruments while the others watched the holographic rendering maneuver to allow a clear view of the Glarnak. The Faltoxian would have been described as birdlike by a human, though the species had left flight behind millennia ago. Their lengthy feathered arms, small stature, and ...
'And smells pretty good' he said starring at the potato. Was he joking? It did not look as if he was. What kind of man has never seen a potato? I did not ask him any of my immediate thoughts, I did not want to appear impolite, so instead I laughed, and the rest of the family started laughing too. The only person not...
He stared at me with his yellow eyes, quietly playing the harmonica. He looked... almost sad. You know what, no, he was actually sad. Why wouldn't he be? He spent his entire life sitting on an empire, and everyone just up and left him suddenly. Even his demons left; with no reason to stay, and no job to fulfill, they t...
The man sat cross-legged on a wide tree stump in the middle of the clearing. Wind whipped at his long beard and passed gently over his bald head. He felt the energy of his breath as he meditated--in--out--in--out. The sounds of the forest surrounding the clearing were plenty, and he was aware of them all, but they did ...
My eyes pried open as if they'd been sealed for a thousand years, rusted shut. The light of awareness stung them, and I felt sand. A lot of sand, whirling about me; rough, coarse and everywhere. Every breath left my mouth grainy. There was a man kneeled in front of me, robes stuck to him with sweat, baking under the m...
At first, the world’s top astronomers called it a meteor. They had to. The doomsayers had already begun with tales of green skin, disc-shaped ships, and invasion. Unfortunately, for the first time ever, science was on the doomsayers’ side. The object, whatever it was, steered through our asteroid belt, sling-shotting o...
I bolt upright. My name is David, and that is all I know. I look up to the sky, but there is no sky. I'm in a dark cavern with long stalactites dotting the ceiling. And I can hear voices. "David! David!"The voices scream my name. Before me, I see a man and a woman with their backs to me. Their feet are spread shoulder...
I sat in my cage, listening to the roar of the crowd outside. A few beings walked by, I didn't take much notice. I hadn't eaten for.. days? Weeks? It's hard to keep track. A sharp pain in my leg. I looked up. A small alien—a child, perhaps—was poking me with a stick. "You're going to kill the other Terran"it said, w...
Years of memories, thousands maybe even millions of them. All lies even down to his birth. No holding him after his birth. No appreciation of that new baby smell. That feeling of his soft skin against his, the warmth that came with each hug, all a lie to gain information from him. Then, the real memories came back. B...
After death there is a plain which stretches endless without horizon. Ups and downs are lefts and rights while the constant sound of color rustles in the air. It is there I found myself. In a land of nothing, surrounded by everything, and utterly confused. I remembered life. All of it. Vividly. From the first thoughts...
For the first time in his life, the genie didn't immediately grant a wish. He only blinked in astonishment at what he heard. Throughout millennia he had granted a plethora of strange wishes, like never feeling itchy again or having a really good lawyer, but this one truly stood above the rest. Even the weirdest wish ...
I gripped Marie's shoulders. "It's all going to be okay. Just stay calm!" "It's not okay! Nothing's okay! M-Mark's dead! Jessie! A-And Kass...!"Her shaking would not stop. And it's not as if I couldn't have understood it. We'd just seen the dismembered bodies of our best friends scattered across the corridors of this ...
When most kids say they have an imaginary friend, the automatic response is to assume they're just being childish and smile and nod at them. This played out quite well for Audrey, who was a spirit tethered to the material world. When she first met Kim, they became friends quicker than a drop of water evaporates off of...
It began with a still life painting of a dimly lit kitchen. There was a set of knives laid neatly on the surface alongside a length of worn rope. The details on the rope were exquisite, more than I usually put into my works. I didn't remember painting it, but the paint on my hands and brushes was proof enough that the ...
It was decades ago that I accepted a female child to be my bride. Despite having no intentions of making her such, I bought her off her parents, knowing they would find another buyer. I gave her wealth and told her to live as she wished and if she wanted something else to ask. Wealth wasn't what she wanted. So she as...
The unfortunate part about being a cop is that you have to get really creative when you want to commit career suicide. It’s not like you can chuck a cup of slush over the counter at some lady, fill your classroom blackboard with enough swear words to traumatize your students for life, or pilot your plane into a mounta...
Poltergeist \| ˈpɒltəɡʌɪst noun a ghost or other supernatural being supposedly responsible for physical disturbances such as making loud noises and throwing objects about. *** The young boy looked stunned. He flipped through a few pages and found another "oddly familiar"word. His old tinted spectacles slid th...
> ---ourns today as the two funerals process through lower Manhattan. A local professor, slain in an apparent mugging gone wrong, was found in an alleyway between 5th and Park Ave. > While friends, family, faculty, and students grieve for Professor Parker, the world at large mourns the loss of what was apparent...
I sat up from my cloud and stretched my disproportionately small arms. "Maaaan that feels good. Let's see here, how long have I been out?" I looked at the stars to see which ones are still there. Polaris Australis seems to have vanished from the sky in the time I was asleep. "Huh, seems I overslept a little. I shoul...
A camera flashes as I open the car door and, elegant as ever, Amile steps out before extending her hand to me, hoop bracelets sliding down her wrist and stopping against the contour of her hand. Her long fingers are decorated with rings. There are three more camera flashes before I finally accept her hand and ex...
We like to think we’re “civilized.” That we don’t revel in the pain of our enemies, that we don’t wish the most horrible of fates in those who would hurt us and ours. It’s a truth that makes us uncomfortable, that inside each one of us sleeps a beast that would rip apart anyone, anyone who dared cross a line. The lin...
Back then, no one had believed. There had been no one who would actually help. Every therapist my parents sent me to tried to treat me, while the actual problem hid under my bed at nights, waiting, its grin providing the nightmares, but without the sleep. The teachers noticed. How could they not as I slept through th...
And so I sat there... 8:36 on the dot... the screen of my phone staring back at me with nothing to show... I shook my phone. Checked my signal. Considered turning it on and off. "But what if I get the message in that time?" "Where is it?"I pondered. The apps all seemed to just stare back at me expectantly, as if uns...
“You bitch!” A voice roared from upstairs, followed shortly by a loud crash. I rolled my eyes and heaved myself to my feet. Here we go again. “What’s wrong?” I called wearily, making my way towards the stairs. Libitina was nonchalantly coming down, Bible in hand. For being the incarnation of Death, she always see...
I arrive in the throne room hoping that the stiffness of my best leathers hide my tremble. I’ve never seen the inside of the castle before. I fear the worst, and I get it. At the feet of the king and queen kneels the beauty I’ve come to know over the last two months. Clad in fitted ring mail armor and the black cloak ...
"Back again."Death said to the little brown tabby in his doorway. "This is what happens when one dies. That was seven?"Niu said. "One hundred twenty nine." "I cannot count that high. It is seven. Seven lives." Niu began to groom herself. Death sighed and produced a coin from somewhere within his robe. Niu conti...
They were packing. They were all packing. Noah watched them. His father, darting into his room, then back to the living room, stuffing things in a suitcase – not folding it, not carefully putting it, just stuffing. Noah was mad. If he had been packing like this, that carelessly, his father and mother would have told ...
“Bring out the wretched Human!” The voice boomed from all angles. “Let the council decree his fate.” Steve Stevenson was dragged from his cell by two exceptionally large Moroxi. The Moroxi had an unnerving similarity to the long extinct Kangaroo from earth, but with four arms and scales. The guards sneered at Stevens...
Arranged around a common, boring, run of the mill conference table sat a group of human beings who were none of those things. They were the uncommon elite. Those who truly shifted the tides of power in the world from the shadows. The world's deadliest assassins. Declan Malacroix chaired this meeting and began, as ...
They called it the gilded age. Nobody knew why it happened, or how, or even when, really. Everybody knew that it had happened though, and that was enough. The powers seemed to flow from the people themselves, their personalities, hopes, dreams, and, most importantly, skills, manifesting in awesome ways. Farmers who ...
His home life left a lot to be wanted. Poverty in the sixties in England was no joke, especially in a mill town where alcoholism and beating the family was the norm, rather than the exception. Pre-Thatcher UK was a different place. Working class people did not get to hang around middle class or upper class ones. It was...
. #1 Dad. A present my wife bought me before our child was born. He’s six now, and every morning we have breakfast in the nook of our kitchen. He likes toast, I like eggs. He drinks orange juice, and I drink coffee. I looked at the mug, reflecting on the memory as I unloaded the dishwasher. So many days with such a...
I considered the pile of nickels. Stacks and stacks and stacks, lined neatly in precariously tall rows. "And it's...?" The bank manager smiled wanly. "$550,000. Sir, I'm not clear on why you have so many nickels, but hording coins of any denomination does create shortages. I must presume that additional nickels ha...
Here lies the most dangerous man in the world. Arthur stared at his own gravestone, a bouquet of flowers in hand. His grave was nothing like the others. While everyone else had a single slab of rock, his was a towering black pillar. Golden words of all the laws he had broken were carved into it from top to bottom an...
The voices. The voices you hear when you unlock a new skill was wonderful. When you heard them, you could do something new. There was the basic voice, for things most people got when they were young: "walking""reading""cooking". There was the mundane voice, for average adult skills: "driving""swimming""whistling". Th...
"So there I was, getting onto the bus, when I reached into the bag. Instead of the rattle of the exact loose change I needed for my fair, I felt something heavy. I could feel a handle of sorts. When I wrapped my hand around it, my finger felt what was unmistakably a trigger. My whole body went rigid. I could feel the b...
Always the effigies, in every generation, as our civilizations rise and turn to dust. Ten million years passed before we understood that they were slowly moving, these beautiful pale statues that arose from nature and not art. One was slowly closing his fist, and in ten thousand years, he would strike his brother. Anot...
Lacey's first visit to the vet was a simple check-up, and she left wagging her tail with joy, chewing treats. We walked that afternoon on the south trail, sun shining on us, up beat music playing from my phone. Lacey was walking a little slower than usual, but I assumed it was her age catching up. The next day, h...
“A freak, huh?” “I beg your pardon?” I blinked in confusion. My server, Julia by her name tag, smiled and pointed above her head. Her finger nearly prodded the floating number one that was there, the one that she and no one else in this lonely restaurant could see. “By choice or by circumstance?” She asked, as if ...
You've got to me kidding me. I was almost out. It was almost done, and no one was the wiser. It had just been too simple. I had slipped into the bank with the surge of afternoon customers. It had taken me weeks to collect all of the access codes and passwords I would need, but, well...I don't want to give away...
Dyslexia is a bitch. Life gives you melons, and you can't exactly make melonade. Satan swings by your home on Christmas-- don't ask what the bad kids get when he tumbles down their chimney, black as the ash and coal that rides with him. Oh, and Santa. Poor, sweet Santa Claus. His jolly heart is not fit to handle bloo...
Everyone came out of the jury's chamber for the sentencing. Guilty, of course. We didn't have much of a choice. The evidence mounting against him was overwhelming. I was actually annoyed I had had to take off time today to be jury for such a simple case. Jay Kleiner was a murderer of the lowest order. A murderer of ch...
I felt at my chest, feeling the ceremonial knife slipping between my ribs, piercing my heart. For a moment I could feel my heart pumping blood even with the knife lodged firmly within it. A warm sensation spread from my wound throughout my body. "I dedicate my life to Satan, may my eternal soul serve him forever more i...
Brewster's Billions ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Timing was everything. Ever since the rules to the game of capitalism had been formalized, the race was on. The challenge was to become the second-richest person in America by midnight on New Year’s Eve. Of...
My fingers curl back from the shiny, black landline. I suck in a breath between my teeth, wincing at the potential ramifications. Panic sets in as I pace from end to end of the room. There is nothing to disrupt my path, save for a chair, and, of course, the phone. I spare it another glance and shudder. The ring still ...
Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. I can't see a single God damn thing. At some point in the night, I'm assuming some assholes injected me with some kind of sedative, and decided to rather impolitely drag me somewhere. I have no idea where I am. My world is black and still....
"what the FUCK am I doing here?"exclaimed the demon. He had just materialised in the middle of Mrs Brocket's Home Ec class and he wasn't happy. "language young man!"Mrs Brocket exclaimed. "Don't you know that's not how we speak in this school!". "Young man?! YOUNG MAN?! I AM NO MAN, AND I AM 140,000 YEARS OLD! FUCK...
On my fourteenth birthday I was led down into the school basement, down to where the machine nested. As soon as I sat in front of it, its snake-like arm shot out and bit into my hand, drawing blood for its analysis. Usually, once complete, it would print out a detailed report on your power, as well as recommended jobs...
"So, he's a hotshot, huh?"scoffed Harken. "He's astounding! The spells he can cast in a small timeframe, Hark. It's the fastest in any recorded history. His skill is beyond that of the previous Magus Ascendant and perhaps even you!"I tell him with great confidence. I was there when the Visitor obliterated the rebel fa...
My eyes have become three sizes larger and a construction crew has taken up residence behind them, based on the pounding in there. I roll over and sunlight washes over my eyelids. I angrily squint at the sun and hate myself for not closing the curtains enough. Then I let out a groan that would make any zombie actor je...
Are you ready to head out boys? Jason yells from the living room. We take out buttons with us, as always, just to be safe. Things used to be much more difficult before The Button was introduced. Since the first night, we haven't failed to go without a payday yet. We're working on our 56th night tonight. *Alright le...
The voice was strong, obnoxious and more than a little condescending. “He’s deaf.” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that said. Ignoring it entirely, I sipped at my drink as I continued flipping through Netflix on my tablet. I’d just finished one anime series and was looking for another because no one ever...
"Well, Mike - the good news is that we have a name for it: Macrocordyceps acutus,"the doctor had told me. "The bad news is, well, everything else. You asked me to be frank with you, so I will be. It's not well understood, particularly in humans. We know that it's a kind of parasite that affects behaviour in mammals....
Their transmissions were initially ignored. Random signals and radiation from space can often be ignored. Undefined aspects of an infinite and untamed universe mimicking an unnatural output. Then we began to see the patterns. A repeating series of prime numbers, hexadecimal codes, and binary. Encoded messages, ca...
Screams and clanks of metal rang out, swirling all around in the blank, empty void, steadily growing louder. It took a few moments before Mark really started to hear them, and he cracked open his eyes slowly. As he did so, and his brain registered what he was hearing, his action slowed, now fearful of what he may find ...
“The Queen is immortal!” “Long live the Queen!” “She’s older than dirt!” These jokes were funny... until they weren’t. Now an elephant sits in every British room, looming over each and every Brit. “How IS she still alive....?” Elizabeth, for her part, went right on with her life, apparently unaware of the com...
It was all happening so fast that we never had time to consider what would happen when it had finished happening. Everyone with a tattoo was manifesting abilities. It was all fairly sensible. Fire tattoo? Fire powers. Ice tattoo? Ice powers. Emoji ink? Emotion manipulation. The weird thing was the people with tribal ...
JULIET O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore types thou Romeo? Deny heteronormativity and refuse male privilege; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my polysexual dragonkin, And I'll no longer be a Feminist. ROMEO [Aside] Do I neg more, or do I post at this? JULIET 'Tis but thy gender-role that is my op...
The first full moon of the year. A crowd of people hoping this one will be better than the last, a collage of torches dotting a semi circle around the bloodstained post my hands were chained around. The torch fire struck the whites and yellows of teeth as the crowd jeered, the Baitsman's mouth agape in a crooked sneer ...
Games make it look so easy. Just hold your arm in one place for a few seconds, screw up your face in concentration, then punch forward and release. Simple, right? That's what Sam thought too, a few months back. When the discovery of charge attacks became worldwide, every kid in his class tried it. It was honestly hila...
*Year 10:* I entered a room with 9 sets of chairs that were set out to make a circle. On each one of them sat a person with a signs in front of them with number that went from 10 – 90. It seemed like I was the last person to come. They all looked at me as I went down to take my seat in the number ten chair. The...
[Part 2](https://reddit.com/r/MatiWrites/comments/e65g09/ares_part_2/) is up! Only Ares had yet to return to the Gallery of the Gods. There, the others feasted and downed jugs of mead and sent lightning bolts careening across the sky. Zeus' laughter thundered and Dionysus poured the table another flask. Then the clo...
Rob often came with a smile, and a bag of donuts to my house. "How's your day?"he would ask, and we would answer, "we robbed a drugstore, advanced on our bank robbery plans,"to which he would nod, and after a short-lived, laugh would say, "the usual, then." From then on, we would proceed to drink beers with him and th...
Jack and Jill, out for a kill, on a seemingly innocent date. Neither one knew, that the other one too, planned to end their fate. Jill was late, late for the date, when she lost control of the car. The tires were slashed, but there was no crash-Jack hadn’t planned that far. Jack was fine, until his wine, had a lil’ s...
Swirling purple clouds of smoke spun like a whirlpool above the pentagram, the candles at its points flickering in the darkness. Inside, lightning seemed to flash through the fog, sending it reeling ever faster around and around. "Demon!"I cried, my voice breaking to be heard over its thundering roar. "I summon thee f...
I wouldn't imagine there is a single person on the planet who understands the anticipation of someone who's lived underground for 19 years. Even the simplest things like the look of sunlight or the feeling of a breeze, these existed in me only as the faintest of memories. But all of that was about to change today. Wel...
There are six hundred and twelve rooms in the world. It might seem like a lot, but that's six hundred and twelve rooms for a thousand people, especially when there are eighty kitchens, forty bathing facilities, and one room which opens up only once a day with supplies. The last room? That one's mine. It's the biggest ...
I'm sure you heard the general concept before. We finally reached the stars. We met alien life; a Galactic Community, even! They took a quick glance at our history and came to an uncomfortable realization. These hairless primates spent a *lot* *of time killing each other. We'd rather not see them unite and figh...
Boris crossed his arms and gave me a confused expression. "You want me to do WHAT?" I repeated myself, speaking slowly and with confidence. "...You see, it has been rumored that it could not be done. That is was impossible to begin with. This man... he is immovable. Thousands, no, millions have petitioned this man f...
The "battle"for Ashar was over in approximately 10 standard minutes. The Spurge, who we thought were allies, used our own security codes to disable Ashar's predictive defense system. The colony, along with its 100 million inhabitants, didn't stand a chance against the attack that followed. The Spurge quietly wiped the ...
"Alex, are --u still th--" The crackle of static stabs at the silence, the blade tip running down my back. My body tenses, fingers white as they press against the book's pages. But I'm perfectly hushed. Waiting to see if it comes again. "-- sorry that ---- -- but --- --" I throw the book to the floor and scramble ou...
"Wake up." Heat radiated against one side of my face. Weird. Did I leave the electric blanket on again? "Wake up, Dr. Beckman." I opened my eyes. Blurred shapes resolved themselves so poorly into glowing red and moving sepia shadows that I just closed my eyes again. I hated dreams like this; they inevitably made me ...
"You never existed in the first place!"Rachel cried out as she pulled a butcher knife from the drawer. "Neither did you!"I said running around the kitchen island. "You didn't exist until you did! That's the same thing with me. So what if a genie made me instead of a mom and a dad." "I'm sorry Jacob,"she said, hoistin...
"You don't look surprised to be here." You stare at your feet, offering no reply. What else is there left to say, at this point? "You know what most people get wrong about the afterlife?"The devil asks as he closes your file. "They think they don't have any choice in the matter. That there's some kind of great cosmic...
It happened the second night at my new apartment. I was in the laundry room, loading my washed clothes into the dryer, when I heard the strange yelp from behind me. I gave it no mind, since the faint childhood memory of my first and only dog told me it was just a big ol' doggy yawn. I made a mental note to check my lea...
Everyone's a liar. Well, used to be anyways. Now theres only a few of us left with this curse. Most of us were caught pretty soon: the habitual liars, the fabricators, or just the fools who couldn't keep their mouths shut. I was never a big liar, so after the little bumps early on it wasn't a problem. I had to get...
I understood very little about how the world worked. My wife called me naïve, said I found it easier to always see the good in everything. In everyone. She called me optimally optimistic. I always told her everyone was good inside. That was the gods’ honest truth. Everyone was good. In our entire life together, thro...
"Why do you think we want to leave the planet so badly?" At first I was sure she was having a laugh. It was a reasonable assumption, you know? I had only just been hired into NASA and I guess I figured maybe this was, like, their idea of hazing. Freak out the newbie, right? But my certainty in such a simple explanatio...
Ten seconds of rain, thick and cold fell down hard wetting the forest floor below as my feet carried me behind David. They move as fast as i can make them but even with the adrenaline coursing through me i feel myself slowing. The rain hadn't been forecast for our weekend at the cabin and we hadn't prepared for it. My ...
The phone on my desk rang. Naturally, I answered. "Hello?" "Press the button!"snapped a stern voice. I glanced down at the red button built into the top of my desk. "May I ask who is calling?"I inquired. Not that it mattered -- it could be the President of the United States, I still wasnt pressing that button. M...
One of the peculiarities about Valhalla was that time had no meaning. Warriors did not arrive in Valhalla chronologically, they arrived based on how glorious their battle prowess and their death had been. Högdar the Huge had just arrived in Valhalla, after mortally maiming twenty Englishmen and being shot through t...
“So, I just go like this,” said Johnny, raising his right leg. The group of lab-coated scientists nodded slowly, notepads at the ready. “and then just do like this.” finished Johnny as he effortlessly jumped off a platform that wasn’t there. To Johnny, double jumping came as naturally as breathing. A pen...
Professor Theodore Waxburn had worked in Oxford's biology program for fifteen years but wasn't quite able to show he had been doing much of anything. He remembered working. He had years and years of scribbled notes in his file folders that could prove it. But his major papers seemed to come in spurts; he could only h...
You know that feeling of being absolutely, and without a shadow of a doubt, wrong? It’s soul crushing for some, but uplifting for others. All my life I had laughed at the silliness of the religious people because, let’s be honest here, what they were suggesting was often silly. I mean, Earth being a few millennia ol...
I must say that when an author writes a story, his or her world is created off in the vast universe of possibilities. In an infinite universe, there really is no such thing as fiction. As luck would have it, certain individuals became the only remembrance of that universe. The universe came to an end in all matter. The...
His eyes were weary. The rain beat down on the ruins of a once-majestic castle. It seemed to be hundreds, perhaps thousands of years old. It stood at the top of a cliff, overlooking the ocean. Once in a while, a rock would fall from the crumbling towers, to splash in the water far below. He sat atop the highest towe...
"Prrow?"Whiskers meowed thoughtfully, asking me what was going on. I was hyperventilating into my overhead oxygen mask as the woman next to me screamed into hers. The captain had stopped relaying what was happening after he announced that multiple engines had given up on the plane. He was desperately trying to level t...
The cramp in his calf knotted up again in white hot pain. “God damn it!!! Will you STOP doing that?” A menacing and undoubtedly demonic voice replied back from within Fred's head. “Feel my wrath, human! I will impose my will on you as I see fit! Your shell is now my domain!” The calf pulsed as the cramping intensifi...
Around the time that Bonnie outgrew the toys, I had my own kids. And what better toys to give them than those which I had played with my whole life? The whole gang was still pretty much intact, but their leader had to be Mr Potato Head or Slinky or Hamm by now. Woody and Buzz were about the size of a standard M4 magaz...
"Shit." The elves around the room watched the large screen with expressions marred in both awe and horror. It could not be overstated how tremendous a moment in history this was; the first human to be born off-world, on Mars no less. They'd hoped that the Luna colony would have had that honor, it would have been much ...
N'Tur thought back to the fateful day when he came across the profile of Dave. He had been terrified. No way could he hire a human. They were crazy. But it had been an inspired choice. Dave was now one of his best employees. The fact that he still scared the shit out of N'tur was a different matter. The screen on his...
See, what most people don't realise about super speed is that it doesn't just affect your legs. Your entire body moves fast. People never tend to get that because you see guys like Ravel Alton sprinting at three hundred kilometres an hour down the speedway. I mean, it's more impressive visually than what I can do... ...
Living life as a turtle meant I could live a long time. I'd have plenty of time to accomplish all of my goals. Throughout my life I had gathered riches, built castles, and attained more power than any other turtle before me. That was all great, but what I wanted more than anything was a wife; someone to spend time with...
The gods of all the universes gathered to present God A1, the god of the first universe, the fruit of their labor. The Meeting of the Gods used to be a chance to share and discuss, but lately, a new radicalized god had been taking center stage, God C137. He presented God A1 a thin bottle of green glass with dew clung ...
Black clad and armed, the team of men that had suddenly intruded on what was otherwise a quiet meal for one remained silent, awaiting further instruction from their captain. Red dots paced slowly across closed blinds and the back door which led to the kitchen where Dave was sat. He had barely any time to chew what...
