There is but a shadow watching from a distant point, a barely visible speck. And yet it will be my downfall. It watches me with great interest as I go about the duties of the day; the sleep, the feeding, the cleaning, all necessary to sustain myself, all under the judgement of the faraway watchful eye. And yet nothing is said, no one cares, no one dares speak out. It looks on us all, looms over us from its faraway corner, watching silentl...")

It trembled in the cold and damp world it was left to die in, waiting for some resolution, in the middle of hope and despair, rescue or release. The rare machine that sped down that forgotten highway never slowed down to notice what was left there. But no resolution came. Voices were heard from afar, encouraging ones, as if they were coming closer. But no one was e...")

Everyone around him was running and panicking, glancing over their shoulder at the unusual event happening a few blocks over. The Earth's moon had collided with the city. The old man shuffled down the street toward the middle of the collision, where it seemed that besides the Moon crushing many buildings and cars, it had really done no further damage. Even more odd, there was a man trapped underneath the Moon,...")

Utterly alone, except for that noise. I hated that noise. From room to room I ran, trying to escape it. The noise of a box air conditioner. The box air conditioners -- the ones that are mounted from windows, hanging out from them and secured by the closed window -- were everywhere. They were in every single room. Even the bathroom. I don't like air conditioners, I repeat...")

It was just like any other duck I'd ever seen in appearance, looking a bit like a comically mutated version of a regular bird. That's what I always thought about ducks. Strange little creatures, always quacking, always pestering humans for food. This one fluttered its wings and launched itself upwards while pulling one of its webbed feet backwards, and with one fluid motion, flung itself forward and kicked me in the knee, flipped over, and...")

I was maybe seven years old at the time and spent most of the ride home asleep in the back of the car. Even then, I was a very heavy sleeper, and the car stopping and my parents getting out of the car did not wake me. But I was, in fact alert, and saw the whole thing. Across the street, the neighbor's house had a sloping driveway that went up the small hill to their house. It was...")

The things put on modern job seekers compared to the old days (where I sent a simple, fact-filled resume, went for an interview, and bam — I got a job) are absolutely unbelievable, and I believe should be criminal. The expectation to exaggerate the truth and “sell” yourself on a resume and the ridiculousness known as a “cover letter” when you are applying for a job that has not...")

We have our base decimal numbers, zero through nine, and beyond that we start constructing new numbers depending on how high we have reached (with a few strange exceptions, notably "eleven", "twelve", and the idea of adding "-teen" to prefixes past that for 11-19). 57,833 is, for example, fifty-seven thousand, eight hundred and thirty-three.

Andre tensed slightly. That song -- "Plush", by Stone Temple Pilots -- had given him mild anxiety for years, but he didn't know why. He tried to avoid listening to it even though he did enjoy most of the music of that band. But Andre had turned on the radio on his way to work to the powerful chords and masterfully crafted vocals of that song. He didn't hate the song at all -- in fact, he...")

We are taught from youth that we must be strong, each and every single one of us -- the men, the women. And those who cannot be strong are killed. It is seen as barbaric and inhuman to some, but we cannot allow weakness to exist in our culture. But a man known as Thorm-of-March-Dell, one of the weak ones, escaped our land.

So much struggle, so much confusion, so much pain. All I have to do is wait a few moments, and it's done. All of it. Finally. Just finding my way to the roof was unimaginably difficult.

Bodies littered the path below me, vanquished foes whose lives I had cut short. I didn't feel bad about that. My sword seemed to be a part of me as I used it as my instrument of death. I stand here in victory still grasping it, barely realizing it was a separate object any more. Instinct guided it from one attacker to the other, cutting into vital areas which draine...")

Nearly a mile in diameter of what was a lush, dense forest was now a burning circle of death. In its center was a small, unremarkable grey disk, about fifty meters wide and only a few meters high, fractured along its center beyond repair. Inside, a single being lay dead. It looked nearly human at a glance. It took a closer look to notice its unusual off-colored grey skin, its oddly folded ears, and what looked like a tail coming from beh...")

The odd, metallic scraping combined with an otherworldly snarling outside my window. It seems like every time I hear it, it gets louder and somehow more menacing. The snarl gets deeper, the scraping gets louder. Something is out there, but I'm too afraid to go look. I'm sure it's just someone's stray dog, but I have never heard a dog -- or any other beast, for that matter -- sound like this. I search the area outside of the window the ne...")

The large uniformed man in front of me did not accept this state of affairs, as he somehow expected me to actually use the weapon for its intended use. I was to pick up the weapon, aim it at an enemy -- in this case, a simulation of an enemy, represented by a crude target one hundred meters away from me -- and pull the trigger, creating a reaction that propels a bullet at very high velocity to...")

This was the end, and Daniel summoned every bit of his fear, his rage, and his frustrations that he had built up watching the world slowly spiral out of control and lead to this inevitable conclusion. His life was over, and at least he would see it end in rage, not in sadness. The flash of the explosive froze, as did everything else around him. Time had stopped around him, and his...")

It was nine at night and the stars shone brilliantly in the absence of any light pollution anywhere near. She would come soon, and the end of humanity would begin.

An eerie echoing of every single footstep and movement filled the space, giving it an otherworldly feel. The landlady...")

How it got there, and how it died, she didn't know. Her entire property is fenced in, she owned no pets, there were no easy ways in or out, and the dog showed no obvious signs of harm or trauma. How did it get there? After calling the authorities to take it away and begin their own investigations, she went to bed that night, still thinking about the dog.

The alien planet looked superficially like Earth, with its vast oceans, one large contiguous land mass on one side, and a smaller one on the other, as well as many other smaller continents and islands.

In front of me was the path leading to the place we planned to hold our little celebration -- my emergence, if you will, into actual adulthood via a twenty-three year old shy girl named Beth who was more than willing to share that emergence into adulthood with me.

But one day, something unusual happened -- a tiny bit of code was transferred from a rogue transmission on Earth to the satellite, bypassing its security. It was a small payload that took advantage of a critical flaw in the satellite software, doing two things. First, it prevented any other communications to ensure no...")

But in the mind of Talbus Thurpreet, a five foot nothing, bespectacled, overweight troll of a man, it was very dark, very stormy, and it was very much, to him, night.
