The Curse of Riding Dragons

The toddling princess lacked any expression as the king placed her gently on the historic Stone of Ora. King Dolant and his small host of 10 had ventured deep into Hankor Forest- the thickest wood on the island. The forest is filled with every type of creature under the sun. They can be small and harmless like buzzing cranes or riggals. They can be large enough to warrant some fear like a forest fox or impact mole. They can be an obvious threat like a grizzly bear, or they can be something so complex that they cannot be put into any specific category.

The Great Grift of Stoto

No one can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Maila not only knows the sound. She’s had to endure it herself, silently watching on as the destruction she caused ran rampant throughout the Stoto star system, echoing in her mind at all hours of the day. She’s made the sound herself. She would empty out her vocal cords from her old rusty ship into the void of space, hoping that the barrage of emotion was able to scrape through and someone would come to rescue her from this honor-bound prison, but it never happened. If she were to get out, she’d have to free herself.

The Porcello Effect

From the dawn of time, natural events have been dumbfounding the human race. Scientists are still kicking themselves trying to understand everything about gravity. It’s hard to understand how such a weak force has such a strong power over us, allowing the sun to wrap us around it like a ball on a string. Nicholas Cage won an oscar but is also the worst actor of all time. Dark energy makes up 70% of the universe but we still have absolutely no idea what it is. But, nothing is more misunderstood than the career of former New York Mets starting pitcher; Rick Porcello.

Who Killed Vic's Wife?

Jenko’s trip back down to his seat ended with a brutal thud. A blinding glimpse of darkness forced his two knees to bang onto the seat in front of him. As his eyes began to adjust to the light, the whole of his vision locked on a sign denoting train car number 7. The five seconds after his brutal awakening were flooded with supersonic shrieks of women, children, and a baby. There is always at least one crying baby on any sort of mass transit, whether train, plane or spacecraft.

The Semi-Warring States Of Dragon Valley

There weren’t always dragons in the valley that sits between the kingdoms of Dunkren and Rabicula. In fact, before their sudden and mysterious disappearance a few days ago, they had only been there roughly three hundred years.

Supreme Court Outlaws Flu Shots In Favor Of "DIY" Treatments

We could all see it coming for months. In a ruling that came out last week, the United States Supreme Court has effectively outlawed the influenza vaccine. It is well known for bringing the world out of the 1919 pandemic and has been periodically upgraded over the years to combat dangerous mutations of the original H1N1 virus. For lack of better phrasing- it stops people from dying.

Mission QTXZ19413

Mission Log: Period of Seth the 73rd, 2629 Translated from Birdish to English April 17, 2022 The planet Ears- known to its inhabitants as Earth- has revolved around its star over nineteen hundred times since its dominant species began their count. In that time they have advanced slower than any other race we have encountered. Major innovations have emerged short of expectation for reasons unknown to the office of alien affairs. Spacebird society had developed significantly more complex technology at this point in our existence. My mission is to figure out what is holding them back and try to put a stop to it, ensuring a smooth transition to future intergalactic relations. This new creation by the Earlings seems to surpass anything that they have been able to conjure up so far. Perhaps this is a step in the right direction. The following is my account of Mission QTXZ19413- Progress Study of the RMS Titanic.

Cooper's Cards

July 2, 2017: I met Cooper for the first time in January. I live in the east village of Manhattan, three blocks south of Thompkins Square Park. It’s a little three-block park that spans from Avenue A to Avenue B. I’ll often walk through it after a stressful day at work or on the way back from picking up dinner on 1st ave. The park is small, but when you live in Manhattan, any extended plot of nature is greatly appreciated.

Glenn And The Magic Farm

Once upon a time, in a village just beyond downtown Cleveland, there lived a simple farmer named Glenn. I apologize for the extremely overused set of prose that I just unloaded onto you. Glenn requires it whenever any of us put anything out into the press

Not If You Were The Last Man On Earth

The Diary Of Adam Watts, Pages 373-378 People have been giving the apocalypse a bad rap. I for one am having a great time. You don’t have to pay for anything at seven-eleven, there are no lines at Universal Studios and no one ever tries to speak to me on the street anymore.

Love And Consequences

The big night had come quicker than I realized. Sure I'd been able to prepare for a few days, and yeah I knew the guy pretty well, but that doesn't make it any easier.
