Mystery

Planet Tetro ~ Page 75
Just when I thought I couldn’t breathe anymore , I heard a loud but muffled scream . Yes I said to myself as I slowly regained my breath. Bulls Eye must’ve got it done it just in the nick of time . When she was focused on taking me and Jerry and John , out he must’ve got her right in the nose or mouth. She must’ve been dying because her magical cloth started to slowly disappear . I guess it was a fatal blow .

You Deserved Better
Something felt off about the last letter I’d ever read from my best friend. The wabbly writing. The detached sentences. The shortness of it all.

Unwelcome
“Any plans tonight?” Melissa clocked out and slid her coat on. “No, I think I’m just going to head home.” I replied and wrapped my scarf around my neck.

Run
The sun was just coming up over the mountains as the low fuel light came on and Penelope dug through her black bag for her last cigarette. She was going to need to pull over soon. Her ass went numb three hundred miles ago and she needed to pee. Leaving her cigarette dangling from her lips, she rummaged through the center console for a lighter and looked in her rearview mirror at her smeared eyeliner and messy hair. She took a long drag of her cigarette as she lit it and tossed the lighter onto the passenger seat. She exhaled, watching the smoke swirl around her eyes and into her ears in a comforting cloud before reaching for the hand crank to roll down her window. The air was crisp and blowing snowflakes huddled together on the side of the lonely road. Ahead she could see the dull glow of the faded neon lights of a service station. As she drew closer, her 1984 Ford Fairmont began to shudder, begging for fuel.

I, Robot Book Review — Isaac Asimov
Asimov is one of the greatest visionary science-fiction authors of all time. For me, he is the greatest. I love the fact that he writes about robots, space, and the socio-political future of the world. In some aspects, he is a prophet. How much of a prophet? Only time will tell.

The Mystery of The Mysterious Box
It showed up in the middle of the evening. I was watching TV in my living room, and I was alone, when all of a sudden, I witness a large drone drop a big mysterious box on my deck outside my living room. I decided to get up to see what it was and why it was dropped off at my house.

In the distance I heard a loud explosion . The impact of the explosion was so loud that I guess our two leaders must be engaged in combat . It must be the robe guy and Draco fighting I thought . Still they seemed to be a far distance away from me . I decided that it might be best to continue to slowly making my way through the town . My job was to see if I could help somebody else or take out another enemy . It was also that I had Jerry beside me. A few minutes later I noticed another small skirmish taken place . Except it was it was way closer than the first explosion . Jerry noticed it as well , we both took off running towards the sound .

The Case of the Guilty Fiance
Despite what you read, the life of a private detective is boring. These days I can solve half my cases from my phone, while I sit in the school carpool line. Sure, I have my fair share of long telephoto shots through cheap motel windows, and into parked cars, but people usually hire me because I know how to search bureaucratic databases, and find their particular straw of hay, in the haystack. When Carol called me from the hospital, I thought that was what she needed.

This time I decided to dodge her sword attack instead of blocking . Seeing as how far she sent me flying before. I barely dodged it and was panting while anticipating her next attack . After the last attack she started concentrating with both of her hands . Her hands were soon to be covered in a large ball of light . It was twice as large as the one that she launched at me before. Shit I thought I wish my drill absorbed light just like my drill is able to absorb electricity.

Unknown Assailant
Chapter 1 Questions Birds floated lazily on the breeze while bees hummed as they gathered nectar. The smell of honeysuckle flowers, wild roses, and hydrangea floated in the open window next to my desk and filled my mind with images of an open field of tall grass that waved and flitted with the fingers of the wind .

The Chocolate Box
I wish something interesting would happen. It was raining today, and I was stuck inside this office with nothing to do but stare out my small window. I felt trapped in my small room.
