“Anything good?” I asked and took a sip of coffee.

Other me sighed and rubbed her eyes.

“If I have to type ‘per my previous email’ one more time I might actually go find these people and hit them.”

It was a good thing I worked from home, or else two of me might be alarming.

“We both know you wouldn’t do anything like that.” The other me was always so timid, too afraid of confrontation. It was...

Over the hill and through the trees

We would’ve brought this world to its knees

We travelled to distant lands

We sailed every sea

The world was in the palm of our hands

Now our hands ache and twist with age

And now are minds and bodies degrade

The world we once knew so well

Seems to be fading away

Now that we are

Over the hill...

“You can’t do this!”

The princess stood with fists clenched and eyes full of tears. Her pain a stark contrast to the lively setting of the Kings feast. Everyone was clad in their best evening attire. The hall was lit with rows upon rows of silver plated candelabras and maids had set out the matching silver goblets and plates. A feast of roasted pig and wine displayed brilliantly on the long solid ...

It is a fleeting feeling

We all search for

We are ever seeking

A gift they tell us we’ve received

But none seem to possess it

I believe we have been deceived

A right reserved for the one percent

Little by little they took it away

They plotted and planned our decent

Our forefathers before us gave

A warning we have forgotten

We looked to them to save

Our security is what we wanted

But our ...

“I need to know.”

“Why are you doing this? Why right now?”

“Oh I’m sorry is there a more convenient time for me to ask how my parents died?!”

“Sarah you are about to go through a seriously dangerous medical-“

“I know! Tell me now! Do you want me to possibly die without that closure?!”

“Please don’t talk like that.”

“If you care about me then you know I need this. Please just tell me.”

“You alr...

I don’t know why. I just couldn’t help myself. From somewhere deep in my soul I felt the overwhelming urge to reach my hand through the portal. Maybe it was the scientists telling us all the time that at no point or for any reason should we come near this strange shimmering blue veil. It had seemed demeaning to me to suggest that just because we were janitors we would go poking around where we sho...

I woke to a strange humming noise and the odd sense that something was very wrong. Shock gripped my heart as I realized I could not feel my legs. Willing the top part of my tired achy body to rise I looked down and could see the outline of my legs. They appeared to be just beneath the thin white sheet that covered me. My mind teetered between relief that I was till in tact and fear of how I had go...

Reality as I knew it was over. I could see it was the same for every other person who saw this crashed alien craft. Its very existence showed us we were not the only sentient life in this galaxy. Human beings were not the only advanced species.

“Preliminary reports are showing that whatever caused the space ship to go down had nothing to do with mechanical failure. It was attacked.” Charles was c...

He stood before me with fire in his eyes, teeth clenched and arms straight at his sides. A demand for truth hung in the air before me. What could I do but to grab it and reveal all? A dangerous thought. For the revelation would be more alike to the end of the holy book rather than the simple explanation he was surely expecting. To say aloud that I had been stalking the streets at night searching f...

Technology. It is what has advanced our species from the depths of mediocrity to the heights of greatness we have achieved today. But it always comes at a price. It was meant to make our lives easier. All our best and brightest had assessed a need for the eradication of the Hasar, the energy draining parasites that have plagued the Arcan people since our civilization started thousands of years ago...
