Control is picked out of chaos with determination, through struggle and most of all from studious application. Most humans never experience real chaos, the small disturbances in their existence being no more than ripples upon an otherwise mirror like pond. To understand chaos you must feel emptiness, to feel empty you must allow yourself to be nothing. Raion...
Sav's POV It was third day of my job at Rosetown, Saskatchewan in Canada. I had arrived from India and was staying at a hotel called Travelodge. My office was on 6th Avenue. I was lucky to have an Indian colleague with the name Shekhar who helped me in a number of my problems. But his greatest help was in finding a place to stay. He talked to one Canadian...
Staring out over the wastes, Val wondered what had possessed him. Sand, dust, and more sand, that's what awaited him. He'd never been this far from the oasis, and knew that any water was days away...unless he turned back. Others had done so. It would only be a year till he had the chance to go again. Only a year. A year of sideways glances, and whispered jok...
Franz Kafka had a great influence on writing and literature in the 20th century. Even today, strange and/or creepy stories are called Kafkaesque. In his novella "Die Verwandlung" (usually translated into English as "Metamorphosis") a man slowly turns into a cockroach. In my version of Metamorphosis, I go one up on Kafka. Not only does a woman totally change...
Neil's phone rang. Neil saw the caller's name and answered immediately. Aarav: Your toxicology reports are here. Negative. Apparently, there were no drugs found in your blood. Neil: I guess that's good news, but what caused the problem then? Aarav: Hard to say but I suspect a special kind of drug that acts quickly and washes out equally quickly from your...
Author's Note: A vaguely described non-consensual encounter will occur in this chapter. I'll try to keep it brief because I personally don't like the scene. No worries, though. Nobody's going to be killed nor permanently injured in that scene. But there will be a non-sexual scene where someone's going to be permanently injured, to say the least. But I'll kee...
Kathy was gone now! She left me all alone in my house sitting on my bed next to a black man I just screwed! The bed that belonged to me and my husband! I didn't know what to say to Jake or what I should do next! Kathy had suggested that we should develop a relationship so our film would appear more natural. Well. OK. I can do that! I looked over at Jake wh...
Continued from Chapter 1: Trained to defend himself, an understatement, he'd make Matt Damon as Jason Bourne from Bourne Identity and Bourne Ultimatum look like an amateur and a sissy. Unlike those martial arts experts who only use their deadly force skills to defend themselves, he had a different agenda. With him a Navy Seal, a trained killer and assassin,...
Author's note Well, I'm back. Two more chapters finished and uploaded. Sorry it's taking a while, but in spite of other things demanding my attention I have no intention to abandon the project. Have fun Talemaster * There wasn't much to see yet. The sun was still low in the sky and the high crater walls kept the ground in deep shadow. Sergeant Conners an...
Thanks to Todger 65 for the edit. As Betty Gregg finished washing her dishes after a solitary but rather pleasant dinner, she heard a gurgle and turned to find herself confronting a giant, slimy slug. Her first thought was, "Oh no! A giant slimy slug!" Her second thought was, "Oh God! Another alien!" And her final thought was "Oh damn! It's making a mess on...
