I am lost, I am lost, I am lost… **The message keeps repeating from an intercom somewhere in the sky, and I can't help but agree with the message. I am lost. This all started several weeks ago at a bonfire party deep in the woods. A few of the guys from work and I, along with their significant others, partners, flings, and so on, were simply trying to have a good night out away from city life and ...

Dear Jane,

I just met a nice group of friends, accidentally actually. I was on the sky train to my mothers villa. When they hopped in the train, they just created small talk. Like... "What brand of robots that I liked best?” At first I thought nothing of it until they got off at the same plat as me. The girl with long blonde hair was doing most of the talking of the four. She asked me what I was ...

Anchored, witty, and ambitious.

Anchored: Kalliope’s composure takes after her father. Even keeled in the face of danger and her mind racing through the logical solution. Emotion isn’t removed from her personality by any stretch but instead is tied closely with her ability to reason. For better or worse this is her lens through which the world is viewed.

Witty: Not the one to start the teasing b...

Trauma. That is what comes as I giddily stare outside as the sun dips below its horizon.

“Its almost time!” I whisper to my older sister.

It’s just me and her, our parents long gone. Not lost, not dead. But abandoned. We abandoned them. The opposite of what usually happens. The last streams of light fade. And at last the one thing that makes me strong, makes me brave comes. The dark. Others fear...

But now it seemed that there was.

When he first met the nameless person he knew he wanted to help him. He liked to help people and did so often, but this one became more speci...

I’m an elf, I believe these magical beings called hu-mans are dangerous to plants, they will run around on two legs and “hop” on the plants, which make them fade of color and droop, they laugh and laugh at the poor flower, the humans are weird.

Earth: day 18, 4089, Autumn

The humans like to drink weird stuff called coffee in the morning instead of being angry they woke up. The...

I Question The King of Kings

I wanted to know why they had a museum in a castle. I also wanted to know why they had only one item in it—in the middle of the golden room stood a podium with a glass case on it. Inside the case was a Z-shape bursting with energy. “So the king of kings keeps his most powerful weapon in a glass case.” Aqua fiddled with her seashell dress. “I mean he has three of them…” “Well, I'll just grab it the...

Branth ran through the field, trying to escape from his brother with their sister Meera in tow. As they parted the long grass, Meera giggled, revealing their position to John the whole time. After a few meters, Branth plucked Meera off the ground and dove behind a large rock, shushing her with one finger to his lips.

She tried to stifle her laughter as they his, but that was almost worse than ou...

“Kind of sad, really,” Oliver said, wincing at the cheap watered down whiskey in his glass.

“Sorry for the drink,” Death rasped. “It’s the only whiskey left in the world.”

Oliver gave a wry grin. “Not your fault, old chap. We’re the ones who mucked everything up.”

The two looked out of the living room at the expanding mushroom cloud.

“Any time you’re ready,” Oliver said.

“Not quite yet. Y...
