Aktorolalia
Was there something about the warm water falling on him in the shower that brought it on? Was it the security of knowing he was alone? No... it's not like it always happened in the shower. And when he'd drive the 2-3 hours north to visit family, he was alone the entire time. But he rarely found himself compelled to do it then.

Teeth
The excruciating pain wrought by the teeth remained as an aftershock, a traumatic tremor inside of the beautiful blade, just as it would each time they delivered destruction.

Seat A10 (Conclusion)
“Adversary designation rescinded. A10 shows potential.” The cyborg released its grip on the young man. His body slid down the wall of the train car and crumpled into a heap in front of the machine. He coughed, gasping for a full breath of air as he scrambled to get to his hands and knees, then crawled a few measley feet away from the menacing machine marking his every move. He knew there was nowhere to go, but the young man felt slightly more comfortable by putting at least some kind of distance between himself and the cyborg.
