The Job
Bill slogged through calf deep, room temperature water. His heavy and normally very comfortable work boots were completely filled. His toe skin, now rapidly softening , would soon resemble the California Raisins. Somehow the warmth of the water managed to exacerbate the situation. Why wasn’t it cold? Where the hell is everyone? None of this made any sense.
It had been three weeks since losing his...
An Observer To The End
The end was always supposed to come, the clattering of horse hooves as the horsemen rode. Death, War, Famine & Pestilence. All racing across the earth, leaving behind nothing except destruction and disaster.
A young man, with long black hair, pale skin and cute freckles looks over it all. He was interested in what happened to the planet he had watched grow and change for eons. Zegal watched the p...
Monster In The Mirror
The mirror has lightning,
flashing around a figure
flashing around a monster.
You see,
What I’ve finally realized is the mirror image of a monster isn’t me,

Lightning In The Water
The waters are as calm as I’ve ever seen them, smooth and flat as an ice rink. My boat drifts through the lake with only the slightest stroke of the oars, not leaving a ripple behind.
I move out into the centre of the lake, where all the big fish are, but once I’m out there a fog sets in. I can’t even see the bank. There’s a loud growl from above and I look up to see storm clouds, flashing with ...
Dancing Lights
I wake up, feeling a thin layer of water breaching the wall of my coat and jeans. “what in the hell..”
my thought trails off as I sit up and see a vast expanse of open ocean painted with a sky as if it was on the edge of a torrential down pour. My eyes suddenly catch the anomaly in this eerily uniform macrocosm. out in the distance faint, but visible. I see two pillars of light thinly twitching as...
Scence 1
He walked along a path a blue road of water and suddenly hit a wall invisible wall he could hear thunder.
He touched the glass wall peered into it but could not see it.
He felt a chill as he touched the glass as rain water spotters and fell on it drippings.
A flash of lightning touched the screen and the water and the shadow reflection of both mirrored he was lightning...
