Though it wasn’t real, it still burned. Tommy brushed imaginary ashes from his head and shook his shirt free of embers. The moment of ephemeral liberation through grandeur escapism ended; leaving a rotting question Tommy was too terrified to answer.

With Great Power…
I recently obtained superpowers. I am stronger, faster, and more agile than before. Plus I can fly. As cliche as it may sound, I got these powers after being exposed to radiation during a science experiment that went wrong. I know, it’s a very lame and unoriginal origin story, but it is mine.

We started walking, and suddenly we heard steps. A lot of them, as if a dozen people were walking along with us. We stopped and looked around.

Final Draft
"We've been watching you." "What? Why?" "We like to keep tabs on...our people." "Your people?" "Them who feel the most at home among the tangled webs of good ideas expressed poorly. The ones who bring order to chaos."

The Leap Into the Sea
The sun hung low on the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink as Luffy stood on the deck of the Thousand Sunny. The ship rocked gently with the rhythm of the calm sea, but despite the serene setting, an uneasy tension gripped Luffy. He had faced countless battles, taken on enemies ten times his size, and stared death in the face more times than he could count, but none of that scared him as much as the idea of plunging into the vast, open sea.

Because You Can
The person in front of Socco—no, the child—stared at him, eyes devoid of emotion. Blood soaked his green and blue cardigan, dripping off the tip of his knife onto the porcelain floor of Socco’s kitchen.

CTRL + ALT + DEL
PRESS CTRL + ALT + DEL TO CONTINUE Liam slammed his fist down on the well-worn keyboard, sending the ALT key flying. "Great," he muttered. Using the pinky finger of his non-dominant hand, he tried to wedge the pinky down into the gap created by the missing key. When he pressed CTRL and DEL simultaneously, a jolt of electricity shot through him.

The Mountain's Keeper
Robin stepped out of her car and took a deep breath of the crisp, early morning mountain air. "You just can’t get that in the city," she sighed happily, pulling her backpack out of the trunk. Behind her lay a small town—a modest collection of houses barely larger than a suburban neighborhood, with a few shops and businesses scattered throughout. But before her stood towering mountains, dense forests, and the promise of adventure.
