Just Playing
A playful dog can still be dangerous...
Crash! Boom! Bang!
Lucy hit under the blankets, trying to muffle the noises echoing in the night. What was that? Ghosts? Burglars? She had to know!
Heart pounding, she crept downstairs and opened the door. Her flashlight illuminated a puppy hiding behind an overturned trash can.. “Bad dog!”
The dog looked up with sad eyes and a whimper. “Aww! You were just playing, huh?” It licked her face as she carried it inside.
The next day, Lucy was found dead in her home. The only clue was a puppy sitting in a pool of blood.

The Flight from Hell: part 1
What a day! Joanna thought as she settled into her seat. This morning had been one thing after another! First, her alarm didn’t go off on time. The good news was she woke up on her own in time to make her flight. The bad news? She woke up three hours late and had to rush to shower and finish packing.

Stalled System
With my eyes closed I ran our plan through my mind in the last moments before 22:00, when the next wave of service trucks en route to the facility, like a fleet of mindless ants, would pass our location. We stood silently along the edge of the drainage tunnel, murky water below trickling away from the facility, awaiting the signal from Moka’s flashlight that the trucks were on schedule. Bronum was positioned at the top of the access ladder, ready to pop the manhole cover for Pokia, the surest of all of us with securing a hook to the bottom of the trucks. In the worst case, if no one else could manage to secure a hook, when then our activity would positively be picked up by the road’s monitoring cameras, we could hope that Pokia would breach the facility.
