Two Lexi's
BLACK SCREEN KAREN (V.O) ‘Oh Jake,’ Brittney said. ‘We could have had such a fucking good time together.’ Ahead we saw a policeman directing traffic. He raised his hand stopping our Uber. Her body pressed against mine. ‘Yes,’ I said. ‘Isn’t it pretty to think so’.

Outlaw
Jamie sat down at his desk and opened his journal. Sitting quietly for a few minutes, the only sound being the synchronized tapping of his slowly dulling pencil, he stared at the blank pages and pondered on his most recent idea and what the best words would be to convey it.

More Than Me
Just an ordinary day in a crowded neighborhood of the town of Nova, where people are shopping going about their lives, and living in their non-suburbs homes. Sonya, the woman who goes unnoticed but knows everyone, was walking through the neighborhood and strolled upon a heart-shaped locket that she had seen on the ground. However, instead of picking it up she looked at it and said, "I feel your pain what is living if you never noticed". She decided to leave it and hope that whoever lost the heart-shaped locket will find it.

Living Dead Girl
We are not crazy. You want to know how we know that? About a billion tests, a year of daily counseling, at least twenty rounds of various neuropsychological procedures, and constant psychiatric evaluations. But it gets worse, my friend. On the more barbaric end of the spectrum, these bastards took to insulin shock therapy and electroconvulsive therapy to try and treat our apparent schizophrenia. Idiots. We told them it wasn't schizophrenia. We told them we weren't insane. But they didn't believe us. Probably because we speak from the same mouth. Anyway, we're just glad they didn't end up resorting to a fucking lobotomy. That would have totally sucked.

The Amulet of Power
Part One For centuries, mankind had struggled with controlling the power that comes with knowledge. Curious beings, humans are born into a system that prizes and rewards collectors of knowledge. They are akin to programmable machines, desperately probing into the unknown and hoarding what they discover for their own gain. Those without it, suffer to the benefit of those who were lucky or determined to receive it.

The Rain
The earth was shaking again. In his pre-dawn stupor Ben fought to open his eyes against the heavy blanket of sleep that shrouded him. The dark room came into focus slowly, revealing nothing notable. The same familiar shapes as always were discernable in the darkness of his room. His hand automatically groped for the bedside table. He breathed a sigh of relief as the smooth surface of the lockets metal met his palm, cold in the chill of the winter air. He closed his fingers around it and brought it to his chest under the warmth of his woolen blankets.

Best Foot Forward
Best Foot Forward Billy exhaled sharp breath, braced himself against the rear wall of the trench and prepared to go. As the whistle sounded, he gave a haphazard genuflection and pushed forward with all of his strength. He leapt and hit the second rung of the rickety trench-climbing ladder hard. In the eerie silence he heard it creak under his weight but it held and propelled him up and over the top into no-mans-land.

The Locket
Part One It wasn't supposed to happen like this... That was the last thought entering Dawn's mind as her shocked eyes pulled away from the rear view mirror. In the reflection, she could see the slow pool of blood flowing out from her sister's abdomen. Liz was crumpled in an unmoving heap on the ground 15 yards behind her. That was as far as Liz had gotten before the robots fired lasers at her fleeing the vehicle.
