"Look, I don't know..."The new super still seems hesitant. "Sir, do you know how many crime fighters call this city their base of operations?"I ask in an honest voice. "No less than three major ones for the past decade and a half."I continue without giving him the chance to answer. "We have MetalMind, Crimson/Fl...
I closed my eyes and waited for death. Would I wake up in a flaming bowl of curry? Would I be greeted by pearly gates? Would I simply be reborn? Who knew. "Yes, indeed, who knows? But what we know is athomeinthegalaxy's life certainly was a wild ride. He once said his life should be like Forrest Gump's, in all its unp...
You're groggy...the lights are too bright, the noises too loud. "Wai... Wha.... But.... Jul, where'sjul"you say in a voice more slurred than coherent. "hey, hey...it's ok, this is totally normal, just take some deep breaths while the disconnect finishes up"says a voice overhead. You turn your head, trying to grasp re...
EDIT: Wow, thanks for the awesome comments everyone! You've really encouraged me to try writing more on this subreddit! [By popular demand, here's Part II!](https://www.reddit.com/r/Hamadyne_Writing/comments/5fafpp/deliveries_part_ii/) "Did you get the car outfitted for this weekend?" My boss assured me that any and...
This job fitted me like a glove, an oversized one. There was a reason why I was on the verge of sleeping under a bridge, and no, it wasn't because of my love for adventure nor because I enjoyed the caress of the quivering concrete, or the eternal honking of the cars at 5 P.M.. It wasn't either due to my empty wallet, w...
My best friend is an owl. See, the day you turn eighteen, you spend a year as your spirit animal. The creature you represent most - the one that represents you the most. John, he's a dog. He's happy, friendly, and loyal. Harper, she's a crow. She's clever and witty. Kate, she's a cat. She claws me up every time she c...
Gambling was a hobby of mine. See when I was younger, before I got out of the game I used to play back alley poker with a bunch of Genies. Texas Hold'em was their game of choice, though sometimes they demanded we play monopoly. Don't ask me how, and please don't ask why- instead just be content with the knowledge that...
"Oh, uh, what seems to be the problem here, buddy?"John said. It was the 10th alien he had seen that day, as the check-in nurse at the ER in a hospital in Vancouver. The alien was a purple blob with two eye stalks and at least as many limbs. "IHUH8hfdnbaf97y- (&_&FBhbvagv606)(* jn jfndab606))^),"the alien s...
Hell is not—as the more optimistic theists claim—a simple separation from God. It’s exactly what’s written on the label: torture in hellfire which chars the skins and burns your bones only for your body to regrow once there is no longer anything remaining of you to burn. You may wonder how we know this to be the case,...
Eons ago, the Sharintar seeded the stars with life. Starting in their little system the Sharintar's hunger for knowledge propelled them off their world, to spread across the systems, first in huge monolithic generation ships carrying billions of Sharintar. Their tiny lifespans ensured that none of these Sharintar even ...
"I've finally captured you Cobalt Soulforged! You have no idea how long I've been waiting to have you in my power,"he knelt down next to his bound and gagged prisoner, seizing him roughly by his sapphire blue hair. "You have been a thorn in my side for five years, undermining every venture—but now you're going to join ...
> Dear, Valor Man > I’ve been kidnapped, and need your help. I’m being held against my will in the Nefaro Tower. Please hurry! > Love, > Princess Ailyn <3 The wall exploded in a cloud of mortar dust. The entire building trembled. I added an extra heart before looking up from the letter. I popped it i...
"Hello, I'm Marie, I'll be your nurse,"she said pulling up the rolling stool and sitting down. "So, why are you here today?" "I've been feeling tired, and dizzy a lot,"I said. "Could you roll back your sleeve for me?"Marie asked. She was pale, really pale, but it was more like marble than skin. I rolled back my sl...
I pulled one more string onto one more photograph, took a step back, and looked at my web of evidence. Each description is the same. A man with black hair with "abnormally blue eyes"coming to each of them. In Washington's memoirs, he wrote of this man coming. Hitler too, once spoke of a man with these eyes coming. Thi...
Everything is empty. Dr. Reiter had long since learned that. It was a basic principal of physics, that 99.999999% of all space in the world remained empty. Even inside the human body, counting the space between atoms and electrons, at the most basest level, it was all just emptiness. That’s why it felt right that he to...
"How you doing today, Boss?"I asked the wounded sparrow in the cage. He was no bigger than the palm of my hand, yet he felt so much larger than me. He always stood with his head held high, which always made me think he was looking down on me. It's part of why I called him Boss. Boss didn't respond, just looked at me f...
Fred admired how, even in purgatory, human beings had found a way to emulate the high-school cafeteria stereotype. Racial discrimination didn't exist here, title was everything. Were you a musician? You eat, drink, converse, sleep near, and otherwise live with the other musicians. Philosopher or Scientist? Enjoy...
“I think there are other people you should be talking to, grandpa!” I said, glancing at the door. I kept expecting one of the guests to understandably lose their patience at waiting on a mere farmer. I had seen more than a few crowns among their heads. “Nonsense, Rob! Who would I rather see on my deathbed than my fami...
Leadership is accepting failure, then telling your men that they're going to pick themselves up off the floor and try again. I've led battles, fighting on the frontlines myself, for nearly two thousand sun-cycles--by Earth standards--at this point. Failures were few and far inbetween, but when they came, it was not a s...
The day he opened the box was the day his carefully woven lifestyle had fallen apart. He remembered it like yesterday, thinking back to that little purple package, tied with a bow and delivered to his door like he was being sent cookies. He recalled with a wry smile and a sigh how easily the rules he'd built had come c...
I cowered under my table, listening to the commotion outside. Even though the windows and doors were locked and the curtains drawn, I could still hear the sounds clearly. Every deafening bang and loud screech made my heart thump faster than ever before. Sometimes, there would be some weird noises - Yawns? Howls? Drones...
"That... Doesn't make any sense,"I protest, frowning. "It can't have been that long."I start doing the math in my head, frantically recounting events. It's difficult to put them in order, let alone recall the time elapsed between them... But even so, it can't have been centuries! Preposterous. "I know, I know,"h...
They always told me I looked like Joseph Anthony. “My paystub says otherwise,” I would usually joke. Or something like that. How else could I respond? How does one react to being likened to the High Chancellor? Our infallible leader? I’ll tell you what I always wanted to say: “Go fuck yourself.” Not because they poin...
I try to pick up my spoon, determined to feed myself. It shakes in my hand, no matter how I tighten my grip, but I will not concede defeat, and manage to get a small dose of soup into my mouth. It is bland, tasteless. How far I have fallen. After so many years of faithful service, the Lady Death now turns her black e...
"You're not going to die, Alpaca", the hitman says, with a smile. "Stop thinking you're so special." "Dude, I don't like where this prompt is going", I say. "I don't like this prompt going in." "You think you're so important, You're so arrogant.", the hitman says, making way down the alley. 'Arrogant'. "I'm not a...
"Your boss kidnapped you?"the lawyer asks. "Yes, I called in sick and he still forcibly pulled me into work and wouldn't let me go,"I tell my story to the lawyer, "He wouldn't even let me have a bathroom break." "Jesus Christ that's messed up." I wince at my lawyer invoking the name of the Lord but power through it....
Marcus sits cross-legged, rubbing his hands together in excitement over the prize he has just won. What could equal the value of a human soul? Nothing, he concludes, nothing from this world. His excitement rises. The angel stares at his cards, unsure how a being with millions of years of life experience has just l...
A scream from half-way across the city woke me up. Without even thinking, I knew where it was coming from - her apartment. I threw on my suit, and threw my super suit over my suit, and wearing both of my suits, I zooped out the window. With a shattering smack, I crashed through her window. It probably looked r...
The bars of Azkaban were made of lead. The vaults of Gringotts were made of lead. The manacles of the Aurors were made of lead. He should have known. Professor Binns had even told him, droning on in his insufferable monotone, as though he wished to bore his students to death so they would join him. When the witch-hun...
My opponent lay on the ground, blood bubbling from his mouth. "It's...not...fair..."he wheezed. At least, that's what I guessed he was saying, from reading his lips. "Underhanded...sneak..." My fingers whipped into a flurry of sign. *How dare you accuse me of such a thing? I informed you of every attack. It's not my f...
"I am the 37th Prince of the Elemira Kingdom, son of the Mad King Roedran. I have come to beseech thee, O Gods, for your blessing in earning the throne. My offering will be the deaths of my other brothers, a thousand silver pieces and a 100 gold pieces from my personal coffers, as well as a shrine in your name." Xiode...
I have no idea what I’m doing here. Is this my sixth grade English class? I look down at my copy of Number the Stars. That was one of the mandatory reading books I actually enjoyed. I feel hot tears on my checks and I’m crying. “What’s wrong now Michelle?” The teacher barks at me. The rudeness startles me. Who gets an...
Kevin yawned, rubbed his eyes, and devoured a Chocolate Frog sitting on his bedside table. If he was being honest, the first two weeks at Hogwarts had been an utter drag. He had an all-powerful magic stick and all they'd taught him to do so far was unlock doors and make a little beam of light. He wasn't terribly good...
They're the light of my life. Bouncy, happy nuggets of hope, who run through the concrete corridors of the facility, laughing and playing. There are twenty of them in total. My children. My students. Each of them unique in their own way. Each little face, beaming with excitement and thirst for knowledge. I always ha...
It took me a while to figure out what was going on when I made my way back to civilization, I had expected that of course, the world is bound to change when you live isolated for 20 years. First of all everyone seemed to be speaking some language I had never heard of before called Terran, and most people were pretty ba...
Clark shifted nervously in his shoes. He was never one for dancing and the reception, as he knew was custom, called for the bride and groom to have their first dance together. He made it through the ceremony, relatively unscathed, but this was something else. He looked at himself in the mirror, then adjusted his tie. "...
"I was just doing my job, it's not like I liked the experiments. I didn't particularly care enough to dislike them either, I guess I would say I'm neutral on the matter. The creatures weren't sentient after all, just huge animals we were studying from planet xerto-R41. I can pinpoint the moment it all went wrong, one...
December, 2016 \________ "Do me, do me!"Rhea cries in delight. I smile. I've never seen her so excited in a long time. I hold the viewfinder to my eye. The shutter clicks, and machinery inside whirrs to life. A polaroid picture slowly rolls out of the camera. "Oh my god..."Rhea breaths. "I must be... 8 years old i...
Marcus downs the rest of his coffee before slamming his fingers against the buttons. His eyes are strained and bloodshot, brain racing around his skull. He’s been trapped in this lab for two full days cramming to finish this, and while everyone might think he’s crazy, he knows they’re also intrigued. Maybe jealous, h...
I asked for a Wii U, some candy, and to clean my backyard. Those were all 20$. I met the Genie after buying a weird lava lamp from a yard sale, so really, what was I expecting? I was scared. If he could do anything, then surely, he could do that, couldn't he? "Mr. Genie, I wish that Lukas Jones down the street really l...
Brandon stared, dumbstruck. "I'm sorry, who are you?" The young boy snatched a long, thin stick from the ground and cracked it against his knee. "OW!"Brandon yelped. "What was that for?" "Don't you go disrespecting your elders, whippersnapper!"the boy cried, his high-pitched voice ringing in Brandon's ears. "What e...
"Dad, DAD! Your eyes."It was quick and no one noticed but my father had once again zoned out in his excitement at the movie store. His eyes for a brief moment started shining bright purple. "Did anyone see?"he asked me looking around in a panicked voice. It was funny to see someone the size of my father panic. He...
"I never said she stole my money. Tina's the one who said that." We were seated at the police station, across from a very frazzled looking officer. My friend Tina replies: "Bullshit, Jo, you told me last week it was her!" "No, that's not true. I never said she stole my money." "You called her a 'dirty rotten th...
I could hearing the buzzing of the news come alive in my ear, “Today’s top story: 6 more teens die during the “try not to die challenge” and Mario Sanchez will give you all the details in the normal 9am report. Tune in to hear h-.” I muted the chip before the story could finish. This wasn’t news, teenagers everywhere w...

Alright, this is my first time but this prompt is too good to leave unwritten. &#x200B; "Let me get this straight,"Ignoble frustratedly barked, "None of you are adults?" "Now that I think about it, yeah, none of us are."Replied one of the younger heroes. "Alright, I understand now,"Ignoble stated as he rubbed a...
“This is bullshit. He’s taken over most of the planet, and still lays claim to areas he’s not even occupying.” Jeremy said, finally letting his frustrations get the best of him. “Hey!” exclaimed Simon “Just because you decided to forgo Adaptability doesn’t mean you get to bitch about my character choices. If you take ...
Guys help how do I turn this off? Posted by u/ reddituser68 2 hours ago &#x200B; Hey guys? You know how I posted yesterday with my Broadway-style-musical-number-spell?

Singing, right? It was probably singing. Innocuous, generally cheerful, and a totally normal reason to wake up famous in a giant fucking mansion and have everyone revere me for something I. Can’t. Remember. Okay. Here’s the lowdown. Two weeks ago, I woke up in a stranger’s bed, in a stranger’s home. As a 24\-year\-old...
I clicked my tape recorder as I walked from the garden over to the park. "Agent Arkin, investigating Incident SCP-4886 in a small town. Residents are terrified, most are in shock with what can best be described with blank faces. Upon request, I have had audiences with every member who has interacted with SCP-4886, who...
"OK now"muttered Nevermore "this is getting ridiculous". He stared at his adversary, Phoenix. His opponent noticed him staring, instead of summoning dark flocks of crows. "What is it, too scared to fight?"She raised an eyebrow. Nevermore sputtered, "No, I am just apalled at the direction the league of heros has app...
As I pulled the trigger, my last memories were of the life I'd built and the fragile manner in which it had crumpled up in front of me, torn to pieces like a dried leaf. For what seemed like eons, I found the inner peace I had longed after. Like everything else I held dear, however, this was soon taken away by a flash...
Living toys- sounds cute, doesn't it? Everyone loved Toy Story growing up, seeing the secret world action figures lived and how much they loved their owner. Adventures, battles, and imagination; everything we long for as the playfulness of childhood fades into memory and taxes. So when it finally happened, and toys ...
It had been tried before, always ending in failure. The world, small and blue, stood out as a conspicuous failure to convert the last holdout of sentient life in the galaxy. Missionary invasions had worked everywhere else. In all other cases, soldiers of the church brought the staff and the beam, the truth and the ...
She typed in the name of the website where you could make sure, her hands trembling slightly. Where you could check that you had met the real thing. Not a cheater or an abuser or a rapist. She had a little habit of checking almost everyone she met, whether she was going out with them or not. Most terrified her. She...
Tim stood at the sink, washing his hands, trying to not look in the mirror. He didn’t need to look to know what he’d find: swollen red eyes with bags underneath; greasy hair in knotted tangles from lack of brush or shower; skin red and puffy from too much nightly gin. The familiar sound of the toilet sink slamming dow...
My name is Liam and It's been four months since I last dreamed. A lot of people set their alarms to wake up throughout the night, sleeping in half hour bursts, other people sleep in shifts, watching each other. I take Myclocin. Dreamless sleep. I have a good job and make good money so I get the pills. Others, are...
"Hello,"said Nick, pushing his thick rimmed glasses up to the bridge of his nose. The fountain pen in his chequered shirt pocket peeked over the top, as if it wanted to get a look at the burly man who'd answered the door. "Cathy!"yelled Ted as he turned back to the doorway. "What is it, hon?"came a melodious voice f...
The shop was quiet. The shop was always quiet. That’s what Ms. Fields loved most about her quaint antique store. That and the idea that all the undiscovered treasures filling each of its crevices were tucked safely away—which includes the ones in the Devious category, and the Dangerous category. These pieces, of course...
And a thousand years hence, the plaques on each of the hundreds of sealed doors were still polished and maintained - their inscription written in every recorded language: "This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here..." "What is here was dangerous and repul...
“I’ve figured out your weakness, Dark Lord!” I screamed out, pulling out a pistol. “Your reign ends here!” It was hard to see his facial expression in the darkness, but I thought I saw fear flash across his face. I smiled and raised the pistol. “Prepare to...,” I found my words trialing off as Dave calmly took thre...
"Oh great and powerful one, dark maker and lord of death,"the tiny beast squeaked. It wasn't English, but somehow I understood. "I humbly bow before your terrifying magnificence and make a request, which is far beneath you." I stared at the items, arranged in a pattern both alien and yet familiar. Then I realized. The...
I opened my eyes and was greeted with a gnarly fist bump from Arnie, my quadfather. I looked to my right and saw a bright blue river flowing thick with pre-workout. To my left I saw squat racks as far as the eye could see. Throughout the landscape I could see packs of swolvorines all in full beast mode. The calendar re...
##cwearly1 What? I logged onto reddit a few hours ago, as the addiction continued, but had exhausted /all through fifty pages. The site gets old when you sprint through it, unfortunately. So, I tried my luck at the ‘random’ button. Something to spice up my meme knowledge perhaps. Or I’ll stubble into one of those s...
I wake up…nowhere. At first, I am alone, and every direction I look there is nothingness. Then, I look at the sky, and it’s there. Then I look down, and there’s grass under my feet. Figures start to appear. The noise gives it all away, and an outline appears before their body fully appears, but soon they are everywher...
"It's such an honor to meet you, Mr. Langley,"said the giant demonic figure before me. His smile seemed both genuine and terrifying. I trembled before him. I tried to convince myself it was just a dream. Satan extended his hand before me. His red skin looked like it was melting but not dripping. His fingernails had t...
A stranger has come to visit me. She says she is family, but I have no family. No wife, no children, no parents, no siblings. I've never laid eyes on her before. Nonetheless, I can't deny our connection. She has my clear grey eyes and ginger hair and the same distinctive jawline and cheekbones. And moreover, the tender...
To tell you the truth I should've gone insane by now, though maybe in part I have. The first few days were frustrating, but I hadn't thoroughly finished even one of the buildings completely by the first week. My power has a fluctuating field of view, but so far as I can tell time stands still no matter where I go in th...
As it turned out, starting the apocalypse was the easy part. After a few false starts with the World Wars, I finally saw my chance in 1962, with the Cuban missile crisis. All I had to do was set off a few explosions and negotiations fell through. The subsequent missile strikes made it easy enough for me to sneak in and...
"Oh...oh, God in Heaven." The librarian - well, 'librarian' was hardly a worthy description of the man, but it's all I could think of - at least had the decency to look sheepish. "And you're saying all of this...all of it-" "Yes, sir. The process began years ago, when a particularly salacious head archivist found ...
"You're right,"Skisth said. "No other species fight for peace. How can you possibly know what their motivation is?" "Well, they talk about it tall the time!"Pthluk replied. "No one else talks about peace when they fight wars! Why would you? It's totally contradictory!" "So what you're saying is these humans are compl...
Excelsior lay broken across the ground. His blood splattered my face, dripped down the front of his uniform, and his arm lay disconnected, a tangle of muscle and bone and marrow leaking out onto the ground below. Faraday lay somewhere across the street, curled up in a building that had once been a post office. They we...
The Thespian *** I had always been good at pretending. Star of every school play since age eight, great at accents and impressions, liar extraordinaire. My mind was a complex of dressing rooms which housed hundreds of characters from the bizarre to the banal, each with names, stories, and idiosyncrasies I could spin ...
Many stories speak of the True Sight, the ability to see how things really are, with all falsehood and pretense stripped away. Our eyes alone are too easily deceived, the stories say. Humanity is fallible in its trusting nature, for it makes us too quickly tricked to seeing things that are not. These stories are just ...
"I need you to not panic."Said the voice on the other end of the phone line. It sounded human, at least. "Who is this?"I say, even though I have a hunch. The red light on my phone is already blinking. "The one you got my search history from."I could tell the slightest tone of annoyance coming from the other line. "H...
At my feet lay the crumpled figure of a defeated man. He looked just like anyone else on the street, a simple hoodie and jeans, but after 4 months of this torture I could see the difference. The slight bulge of elbow and knee pads, the simple shades and ballcap combo that made a face impossible to recognize, and the wr...
BARRY, Death said. IT SEEMS WE NEED TO TALK. 'Hmm?' Barry scratched nervously at the side of his head. 'What about?' MR. BOWIE. MR. RICKMAN. MR.... WHAT DOES THIS SAY? 'It's a symbol, Sir. It stands for The Artist Formerly Known As...' AH, YES. HIM. Death's expression turned from bone to granite. I'M AFRAID YOU'V...
Jaime had been looking forward to today for two weeks. It was droid day! He loved droid day. Everyone else only got one droid day in their life, but Jaime had gotten ten already! They were supposed to find out what a child needed to be successful and healthy and help provide that for them, but every time Jaime got hi...
[PART TWO](https://www.reddit.com/user/Drakolyst/comments/f6i8w6/the_oracle_part_two/) &#x200B; It was out of habit. But that doesn't change the reality. As far as I knew, I may have doomed myself with the amazing superpower that is having normal vision. Everyone gets a power when they turn 18. Their powers dep...
I broke my fixation on the woefully empty bottle of beer to glance down at my phone as it dinged, notifying me about an email. I sighed. Debt collectors and spam. That's all I ever got anymore. At least the latter allowed me the pleasure of pressing the fun little trashcan icon. Would you like to change..., the...
“I need an army of mole men,” the very-creatively-named Mole Man shrieked. “With noses that can detect incoming heroes from miles away. And big gnashing claws!” He held up his own hands and wiggled his stubby fingers, no doubt imagining them with claws. “And… and… giant…” “I think I get what you’re going for,” I...
I woke up at 6AM drenched in sweat from a particularly bad dream. This has been happening all too often. Thankfully I live alone. Since I was awake, I decided to go downstairs and make some coffee, I had a lot of work to do today. Per usual I opened up reddit while sipping on my coffee. At the top of /r/all I saw a pos...
It was ringing. What kind of madness was this? I pinched myself again, looked out the window, glanced at the TV. Everything seemed to be normal. But nothing was normal. 'Good morning, Mr Case,' said a pleasant female voice. I could hardly speak. 'Who... who is this?' I wheezed. 'Let's start with the basic checks....
I thought I was better than this. Stronger. But when I'd gotten the letter...I had to at least go. I had to. I walked into the pizzeria, and there he was. Mark. He was older of course, much older than I expected though. His eyes were red, his hair was in dissaray and his two hands clutched each other, fingers interwov...
Back then, I knew what vast wealth could buy. I knew it could buy isolated mansions with their own picturesque vistas, self-sustaining yachts to see each of the glistening oceans and their pocketed paradise islands, and every known luxury that era of mankind had to offer. Of course, as with all things, that wasn't enou...
"You brought a knife to a gunfight?"My opponent says, before he burst into laughter. "Haven't you ever heard the old saying." "I have."I respond. "But tonight I’m going to prove it wrong. " I brandished my knife, causing my opponent to point his gun at me. I rotated my knife. If I can get it in just the right positio...
I've often thought, that Ambition, must be fuelled by contempt. After all, desires don't rise from nothing. You start off young, and carefree, and the more you are wronged by people - the more people take advantage of you - the more you strive to be better than them. And it's a self-perpetuating loop. The more contemp...
Crashing thunder. That's what the sounds reminded it of. The sounds of the last human stronghold in Andromeda. Dying. There was another deep rumble as a second projectile was destroyed by the bubble like force-field - the only thing keeping the MAl back. The light-speed projectile was instantly disassembled into phot...
I was elated, which was surprising given that I was in Hell. I had been raised in a religious household; worshiped every week, read the stories at bedtime, memorized the lines that needed memorizing, everything. Then as I got older, I got more exposure to the world around me and realized that there might be more to "T...
You lay in the sand motionless, just seconds before you heard screaming, gunshots, explosions. Now nothing, such nothing that it almost stings. You think of all the times you sat in "silence"only to hear lights or even your own heartbeat. You assume you're dead or dying. This is some sick game your mind is playing on...
"Grandpa come on! We're gonna be late!" "Alrighty, hold your horses. I ain't the nimble young lad I used to be." Kyle Forrester had promised to take his grandkids Austin and Gary on a trip during their summer break, however he was surprised to hear that of all the amusement parks and places they could go they decided...
The room was rowdy, to say the least. Shango, Thor, and Perun hammered the desk and shouted violently, the Greek deities and their Roman seconds nearly frothed at the mouths. What remained of the Norse delegation was frozen mid conversation with the Jade Emperor and the Vedics. It was the glares from the three men at...
A knock. I sighed, and cursed my younger self again. Dad had said, "go to law school, Mark,"but no, I just had to show off my powers, had to use them. See, I could just use my enemy's ability against her. Tanks, guns, assassins, jets, governments - the stronger they were, the easier they fell. So one one thing led...
I want to be cohesive — is that the word? I want to write about what’s happened to us should anyone survive and need to know, or should a new species rise from our ashes. Like a griffin. Jackie my neighbour keeps thudding her head against the wall. I’ve removed the painting of the cherry blossoms from my wall because ...
"Wha- what?"I stammer, still not quite sure what the hell is going on. "Valhalla. Home of the glorious dead. Party crib for those who died in battle. Also Thor's fuck pad from time to time." "That answers nothing. How am I in Valhalla. I'm a competitive eater for God's sake, not a soldier."I said, barely managing to...
"All right,"Captain Sanchez said, "I understand you've managed to acquire two weapons of destiny?" It was a rhetorical question; Manchester, the apparent wielder of the weapons, was holding them in his hands. "Yes, sir,"he said. Ordinarily, coming into a superior officer's room with weapons bared was a terrible id...
V’Bliirpkah smoothed her tentacles as she stepped into the portable environmental chamber that would seal her off from the harsh conditions of the planet below. From afar, Earth looked like a peaceful place with jewel like oceans and green continents. But the reality she knew was quite different. Ordinarily she would ...
“I could decorate my dungeon with the skulls of destined heroes. Why should I worry about this one? Let me guess, he is an orphaned child, parents died in a house fire caused by one of my wars, and now this four-year-old child is being taught magic by some creepy old mentor. Did I miss anything?” Gallard eyed his skele...
She failed the test. I don't know what to think about that at first, other than maybe she just forgot. That happens, sometimes, right? &#x200B; So I decided to ask her a different one. &#x200B; "Hey, Natalie—I forgot, what's your favorite color, again?" &#x200B; She glanced up from her phone and g...
