No Place Like Home

I've seen the world in all its glory,

From the tops of towering mountains,

To the depths of the vast sea.

I've wandered through bustling cities,

And walked along quiet country roads.

I've tasted the flavors of many lands,

And felt the warmth of the sun on my face.

I've met people from near and far,

And learned of their stories and their dreams.

I've seen the beauty of this world,

And felt its ma...

Twisted Fate

A voice that nobody else can hear

Singing a song of sorrow and fear

It grows louder with each passing day

A sinister message it has to say

You try to ignore it, but it won't go

It's with you wherever you may go

A constant companion, a haunting tune

It fills your mind and consumes your thoughts

You feel its power, a dark embrace

It pulls you in, you can't escape

You try to fight, but it's too str...

The Tavern

“Can I get a tipping of The Red Flame, lady”

“Sure thing- man”, Larvella said whilst her middle eye rolled, from the lack of manners this Groot brought to the tavern.

She was growing tired of the lack of decorum in this place. Was it really too much to ask to at least get the right label for her species.

“Jorg”, she said whilst pushing the tipping of juice to the man.

“What was that?”

“I’m a...

”Here you are sir, her head - just as you asked.”, screamed Ajax.

”This is the 76th person I have brought you. How much more pain and torture must we endure?”

The ground begins to shake and a deep roar comes out from the enormous face that's in front of him.

”Do not talk to me about torture”, it shouts. ”I've been stuck here for nearly 1000 years and you have the audacity to lecture me about pa...

It’s a trade secret. You can’t tell anyone.

When you become a doctor you take this oath, and The Remote is bestowed upon you.

You enrol patients into your clinical trials, but they aren’t assigned to the group receiving the drug that will save their life. You know they will die without The Remote.

So you click click click, and they change. They take care of themselves, they’re optimistic, they...

A prose for the rose

Prose for the rose is what you want, I suppose

But while I thought, the words caught, with no ideas to support

For flowers have no powers in the darkening hours

So let's not try to jot what we'll soon have forgot....

Never give in

You’ve tried this before but you still think you can kill me? Last time you lost when you brought along the strongest members of your tribe. They gave it their best shot but they underestimated my determination.

This time it seems you’ve returned and you think you can beat me just in shear numbers. Well, try your best. You’re about my underestimate how tactical I can be.

There’s a reason my tri...

They were initially created to help reduce the strain on humans in dangerous jobs such as meteorite mining and and planet exploration.

Having the opportunity of being a multi-planetary species lead to a huge drive in talent and monetary investment being throttled into new companies that could fill the new American Dream of living in space.

The goal was lofty but now people knew it was not only p...
