I relax in a comfy chair as the woman across from me files my nails.
"Are we going with black again?" she asks without looking up.
"No. What's that color everyone is fawning over? Bubble Bath?"
This catches her attention. She taps the file against the table, getting rid of the dust, before setting it down. She glances up and arches a brow. "Bubble Bath? You want...pink." It's not a question.

I arrive to Earth on a beach. A beach. A beach in Britain, that means rain, clouds, screaming children and, more importantly, the water that I’m up to my knees in is brown, even colder than my home planet and smells depressingly of urine. The upside is I’m dressed appropriately, I’m wearing what everyone else is, both women and men, a pair of beige shorts with an I’ll matched t-shirt slung over my...

The beast labored through the trash laden streets, taking slow and heavy steps. It cared little for whatever m...
Chapter Two - The Academy's Secret
Days passed, but the gray, heavy sorrow in Adam's heart never lightened. Each morning, he woke with a dull ache, and each night, he wept silently into his pillow, his father's muffled sobs echoing from the room next door. The world outside carried on obliviously, its rhythm unaffected by his family's tragedy. School had become a blur of whispered condolences and...

“What is this?” She hissed, crawling forward a few steps. “I can’t even breathe….” She huffed.
“Meow!” A grey and white tabby cat called out only a foot or so away.
“How can you live here beast?...
Tap. Tap. Tap.
This was the worst punishment Vokon could have gotten. It wasn't even his fault.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
He looked outside of the window at the parking lot. Looked around his cubicle at the gray walls, the wired phone, and the boxy computer. His was the only undecorated cubicle, no pictures of family or friends, no things strewn around the desk, he knew he couldn't be staying long enoug...
