"Hello there." You heard a voice. When looked around, you suddenly found yourself floating in the air. Countless stars and planets as far as the eye could see. "Now, please pay attention," The same voice said, "I'm sure you probably think you're dreaming at the moment. But this is all real, believe me." "Who are you?"...
I have always lived on a cattle farm in central New York State. Out in the 'West' they get to be ranches but here they are farms. I have always been a big guy, it's all the farming it adds bulk. I never was one for sports or exercise but I worked out enough on the farm to be middling fit and bulky. Well bulky everywhere but one place. It's not like I was h...
Catherine first came into my life when I was researching the various types of Homunculi. From the tiny Tinkers that aid our engineers and machinists with nimble fingers and keen eyes, to the enormous Goliaths, hauling space shuttles across the desert to launch sites and lifting many thousands of tons of metal to build great bridges. Catherine is a Kathetic,...
Sometimes, I honestly truly hate being human. Seriously. Humans are the most bigoted creatures in the universe, and if I sound like someone who would know, it's because I do. I have mixed parentage, meaning that I am half mortal and half other. The Others are here, and they've always lived amongst you. Vampires, Werewolves, Demons, and all kinds of Supernatu...

Morning comes. How I loathe that light. I am lying in bed next to my boyfriend Nigel Geralds. Listening to his heartbeat. It is such a comforting sound. Especially given the fact that my own heart doesn't beat. I look at him as he sleeps. He's a really lovely man. Five feet eight nine tall, slender, with bone-white skin, and curly dark brown hair that's slig...
In the continent of Africa, there lived a tribe of people called the Ampakra. They were primitive hunters and gatherers who lived in the wilderness around 10 000 B.C. One day, one of the men of the tribe went hunting and did not return. His people thought he was dead. He was not. He had encountered a strange beast which had bitten him. The bite had changed...
There sure are some stupid people in the world, man. My name is Raphael Mathieu. A young Black man of Haitian descent living in the City of Toronto, Province of Ontario. I moved to Toronto last year, after spending ten years in Des Moines, Iowa. I'm a naturalized citizen of the United States, though I'm originally from Northern Haiti. I recently moved to the...

It's good that you didn't open up a story of romance and intrigue.

I pulled into to my driveway as usual, ready to shrug off another long hard day's work. The eight to five schedule was still kind of new to me, but I was quickly adjusting to it; one obvious reason being a set schedule means work-free nights and weekends with my girlfriend, Erica. Another being that occasionally, when the day was slow I could enjoy the perks...
