(Author’s note: I’m going to try something weird here. The story is public and I’m going to try to be as hands off as possible, meaning I won’t post very many chapters. I’ll fix typos where I see them but the rest is up to ya’ll. Let’s see those imaginations work.) Chances are if you had any sort of childhood where “What ifs” took place you’ll have heard thi...
Here I sit in front of a computer screen, my hands on the keyboard ready and willing to type, it 2 a.m., I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep because a few hours ago, I couldn’t write, I have writers block. I never knew how addictive writing could be, I now understand my father locking himself in his study hour after hour. I wonder what he did in those hours he c...
Valerie turned off her computer, scared by the comments on her YouTube video. She had made a harmless little video of her taking off her clothes, flirting with the camera, taking care to keep her face out of shot. There was the usual mix of appreciative and angry comments, but one haunted her: a resentful ex-boyfriend recognised her freckles on her boobs, an...
Jay whirled around, as Greg moved toward the phone. As soon as Greg picked up the receiver, one of the guards from hell appeared out of nowhere and smashed it back on the cradle. Greg moved away, edging back toward the others. Sutomi stood at the top of the staircase. He smiled down at all of them, and started to walk towards the first step, then proceeded...
I sat there, facing Professor Harold Williams with a million questions, and having no idea where to begin. I just remained in my chair, still stupidly gaping at the man. Harold eyed me silently for a moment and then moved to take the seat next to me. "I suppose," he started with a slight grin, "the most obvious one would be- why are you here?" "Yeah," I fi...
BROCKTON, MA. Alexandra woke up. It was a saturday. She went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. She stared at the reflection. She looked at a young woman with short black hair and dark green eyes. A face that some would consider pretty, if a bit average. She took her toothbrush and rinsed it with hot water. She put on some colgate total and started b...
"You had quite the party last night, didn't you? No don't move! Yoir still abit distant. Ok first things first, do you remember who you are?" the voice was soft and calming but strangly familiar and it had a seductive edge to it. "I know who I am, I'm Sophie!" I answer. "Good, good. Now to business," the voice said, "I've c...
The night sky was crisp and clear and the moon hung high amongst the stars, shining down in a silvery glow. Constellations dotted the sky from horizon to horizon, the night was still for a moment, but, then, one of those single dots grew; slowly at first, but it gained momentum. Late-night passersbys stopped and watched, enamored with its peculiar growth. In...
It was late at night, while everybody else was asleep, before Ryoko snuck through the house, silently flying, teleporting short distances until she got to the closet door beneath the stairs to the second floor. Opening the door, she found the lights were out inside the pocket dimension of her mother, the 25,000-year-old ‘child’, mad scientist Little Washu. G...
Seems like this has enough interest that I wanted to give it another chapter before I bounced around to anything else. Yes, new readers: I bounce from series to series. I also try to keep my series open-ended, so if you're frustrated when a series "doesn't finish" please understand I'm not likely to reach for an ending with a bow on it. Hope you're good with...
