@Victoria Silverwolf the universe is going to be full of quack healers in the future, nothing new here.
@THX1138 i hope if I close my eyes not to see Chucky.
@Astro Pen youthness is overrated, remember all the stupid things you did at that age?
@Guttersnipe Was the name of the neighbour Bobbit...
Anno Domini 2022, 296th day
I had a switch.
With it I could hide myself in the dark and only show my true form when the denizens of the castle deserve it.
For some I was present in every shadow... that made them think twice before evildoing. When not, it was enough to flip the switch.
They...
Mom... the oaks say the maples are stupid and weak
Justin was chewing his lollipop without paying attention to us.
"Don't worry.'' said the doctor. "Imaginary friends are common."
I sighed in relief.
The summer came and passed with gossip from his green friends.
In fall, Justin started to...
Have I ever lived?
The orc's axe crushed my chest armor with ease, breaking my ribs.
The pain was atrocious for a moment, then... darkness.
"Take my daughter's hand in marriage." the King had said as a reward for saving her.
I couldn't.
I wanted to face more powerful foes, I longed for more...
Well I'm in.
I had something else prepared, a coronation and its effects, but this is much more funny (at least to me). Those who work/worked in a corporation, know what I mean :).
P.S. Sorry @Parson there are too many biblical stories and I never liked to go the easy/obvious way.
Game of Emails: Corporate Edition
Blood will be spilled,
Fingers will be pointed,
But not on me,
Because I've just sent you an email.
Telling you I've done the thing you asked,
Took me one minute to do that and
Ten more to write the email, CC

dQ was once a legend among surfers across the universe. Now a wreck in a wheelchair selling his possessions to buy ganja.
All my savings for his surfboard, Aloha.

Modern archery does not use names for the hands. I've practiced archery for 2 years and never heard of bow/arrow hand. Instead, bows are crafted for left or right hand, because of the arrow rest (with a few exceptions in traditional archery).

I manage to put something together, as usual this was a crazy month at work (maybe one day I will put down on paper the dramas unfolded when developing software).
Two peas in a pod boat
People are dumb.
Even you, the reader of these pages, must have had moments when you slap your forehead and said "Son of a bitch!".
Well maybe not like that, because that's Arnie's favorite saying, but something similar.
Don't take it personally, I do not know you and...
@Provincial
For me is the lack of veracity.
Even after I read your explanation about elephants, bees and extinction, still does not make more sense.
Animal kingdom is governed by instincts, not intellect. Animals do not debate, they do not have the luxury/curse of a reasoning brain, they just...
@Provincial Thank you, I envy you for the time you put in, thoroughly reading the stories and writing about them.
I voted for Victoria Silverwolf story. I like the simple style, easy to read, easy to understand, self contained.
The hell is cold and restless for you
You wake up in a foggy forest, where the light never goes away. You remember a short and savage pain and suddenly you realize you're dead. Tree after tree, shadow after shadow you look for a warm and dry place to rest. You're cold and each time you try to...
