He was alone in his small basement workshop. On the wall in front of him were shelves full of electronic components. The shelves to his right hosted his measuring devices. His desk was a mess with cables, PCBs and other stuff lying all other the place. He was pretty nerdy and had always been interested in everything science related, especially electronics. O...

"Come on you sturdy 'ol Bucket 'o Bolts! Suns down. It's time you got moving." Isabella's audio receptors decoded Jack's blunt request and immediately executed several subroutines to bring her systems out of hibernation. Before she could even reach for the charging cable snaking out from the small of her back, Jack reached behind her maintenance chair and r...
Tyshawn made it out of the door and walked down the street. He heard the bitch screaming at him from the door. He ignored her and tried to push his anger down.

He did three Hail Marys and fervently grasped the collection of dog-tags hanging around his neck. He whispered to himself, "Three bullets left Arthur...make em count."...
This begins with a good old fashioned case of a crush. It was the year 2007. I had seventh period English class, which was the last class of the day.
