“#%+*$&..”
The long legged creature upon her shoulder continuously produced chittering sounds, dispersing certain spaces between with signals of clicks. Her attention was fully absorbed in those clicks, for they directed her through the endless stream of the desert. If she missed a chirp, she would be sent off the path, doomed to wander aimlessly as a ghost, but there were other ways it directed ...
He never thought that getting a ring stuck on his finger long ago would suddenly become such lifesaving information, but it had now.
It was by lucky chance that he had managed to get his other hand free, and with it he properly scavenged for somehing to get him out of this mess. A wire eventually wandered into his rug burnt hand, twitching with pain as he eyed the other, the hand still caught in t...
I would be anything! That is my game
Red happy eyes, white chassis frame
A chockfull of spikes is what I contain
With catchy disguise; my goal is to aid!
My first looked weary, and asked full of woe
I am far too busy, my life never slows
Told him no worries, so inside he goes
Then after he merely, never once rose!
Second stood short, hands at their back
My last work report, it was all out of wac...
There is no easy way to cheat death.
Those who say they’ve gone down the hard path and achieved immortality are either ignorant, liars, or false gods that can still be felled in a single swoop. All who have attempted have died, and thus to quote the great philosophers: “The only way to cheat death is to be remembered.”
I believe I have found a middle ground between the two roads.
If all that mat...
“‘Sometimes the only way to really forget everything is to go to sleep. Only then I might be able to see you again, back in that wonderful, sweet dream.’
After he wrote that, he was found dead in Void Dream’s containment unit the ensuing morning; a suicide, if you will**.**” He states, rapping the clipboard with his pen; his tone nor posture has not faltered throughout this whole presentation, not...
Until that fateful day, I wasn’t sure when I had seen you last. The days until then had merged into a blur; the company didn’t let me of get any time off, and the lunch breaks we got were always interrupted by a warning blare. The trumpet’s noise will never leave me, but somehow, in that place, I left you. I only found about what happened to you through an offhand comment from two gossiping employ...
Before life even had a chance to begin, there was always Desect, the all-encompassing being who, from his corpse, everything would be borne. Before the his dismemberment however, there were no valleys or mountains: Desect was smooth and unblemished. There were also no rivers and lakes: Desect was whole and complete. There were no animals or plants either; the only thing seperate and different from...
“They exist, you know.”
“What?”
“You know what I’m saying. Them, with their pale skin and tall stature, them with just not the right amount of fingers..”
“No, I get it, I-“
“..it makes you think like they’re almost like trying to mimick us.”
“..Huh?”
I forced my head up, glancing away from where I previously absorbed myself in my work, where my thick, gloved hands prodded at a piece of curio...
Zahd’s Ant (Zophotermes Susumus), formerly named the Susum Termite is a species native to Southern Asia and introduced elsewhere to all six continents.
Zahd’s Ant’s former name, Susum Termite, originated from its pillar-like colonies built upward, out of trees. The most notable attribute of its is the strength of its hives, which are always more resilient and rigid than the material used to make ...
“Look how far we’ve come.”
The cliche words are said, whilst I wildly waving and pointing with my free hand at the curved, smooth walls of the tunnel. In the other hand, I swing back and forth the child in between us, the voice of laughter following from the both of them breaking the silence.
The metallic walls are untainted, clean and tidy and an intense contrast against the garish sights we had...
