Meltdown: Chapter One
*Originally published on Medium* I remember how it all began. With anger, hunger, and hate. Even when I couldn’t remember my own name, I remembered the anger, sparked by a playground tyrant with cold eyes. Fanned by the words they wrote on our house, and the things they called my father. Anger that roared so hot, it began to feel good, burning away every other feeling. I fed the hate to the anger and the anger grew stronger, consuming everything, creating a safe barrier of ash around me.

Dear Egnals, It has been 10 Earth days since my last report, and I have now been a “roommate” for 3.5 Earth weeks. I am approaching my second month’s “rent check” and I have been informed that if I do not live a more hygienic lifestyle, I will be exiled. I have tried to keep a low profile while I study the Earth creatures, as you know there was a short scuffle over the human energy sources that are kept in the cold box. All energy sources are now labeled with the names of the other females, with their guidance I successfully used currency to buy my own energy sources, they have now been labeled “Samantha.” They assumed my lack of knowledge in this area was due to my “accent,” when they asked where I came I blurted out “Gorgon” without thinking, luckily they assumed it was just an area of this world they had not heard of.

Smoked Elvis
It had been a slow night driving a cab in Grover’s Mill, New Jersey and the fog had settled over a lonely meadow. It was a perfect place for some peace until the streak of light appeared. The craft settled silently as it landed. So quietly that the local dogs didn’t make a sound.

The Little Things In Life
Life is full of surprises. Surprise tests. Surprise parties. Surprise babies. It's a universally accepted fact at this point. Life can and will surprise you when you least expect it. Case in point: the large capital letters spelling out RESET YOUR PASSWORD that are floating in front of me. Yes, a real, live error message. In front of me. In real life. Surprise!

Dead Kings Rising
“Please reset your password, Adalaide.” My boss had asked suddenly one day a few months ago. I looked at him quizzically but did what he had asked. “Why do you want me to do this?” I asked him once I had finished. He looked at me for a long moment before he sighed and beckoned me to follow him, walking off looking over his shoulder. I should probably clarify what my job entails. We are basically a company that finds and exterminates or relocates mythics. Mythics are basically the monsters that you would hear about from old folk tales and conspiracy theorists.

The Dragon Browser episode-2 'The Dragon Coins'
Paul conducted an exhaustive search for and investigation of various quotes, and the results were impeccable and precise. They offered a wealth of information, including the when, where, and why of the quote's creation, as well as the writer's background and perspective at the time. Paul was astounded by the capabilities of this browser, as even Google was unable to provide such detailed information, relying instead on external sources. However, as he continued to explore, he received an unexpected message from the Dragon Browser reading, "You lack sufficient Dragon Coins to continue your search. Click here to replenish your balance." Paul was disappointed, feeling that this browser was no different from others, existing solely for commercial gain. He confided in his grandfather about the experience and was invited to visit him.
