Sci Fi
The Last Sunrise
Michael had been researching the conspiracy theory for years now. There was every chance aliens walked the earth, he just needed to get enough research together to prove his point. There was no way that humans were the only race that walked the earth, there had to be some kind of alternate race of beasts that hid amongst normal bodies. He was deep in his research, as he sat in the back of the taxi he looked through some of the documents he had saved from the night before, there was some remarkably interesting information on the internet. He looked up sharply as his taxi driver took another quick turn, he was driving faster than he should be, Michael took a deep breath- he only had a few minutes, and he would be at his destination.

Archsage; Return to an Alternate Earth
"Ughh head hurts." Luke groaned. He looked around and noticed he was in a typical classroom. Not that typical after a closer look at what others were doing in the room. Digital displays hovered a few inches above the metallic desk or in front of a person as hi tech devices were used. 'Ok..ok.. ok.. technology. Better than just magic displays.'

The Watch
2: Year & Place Unknown, Palestine: Anvil of the Gods. Only the shadows on the chill sandy soil were black. Above, the vault of heaven was alive with energy from the blazing stars and the lambent glow of the Milky Way. Phineas crouched closer to the meager warmth and dim glow of the dried camel dung fire, his eyes not moving from the spot above. It was there, on the shoulder of the Great Hunter, the Spear Holder, the Light of Heaven, where the Oracle had first appeared. As usual, months before, he had consulted the auguries, the numbers, the signs and it was written clear. Something was coming. The Elders had convened when he first prophesied that Yahweh had tossed a pebble into the great cosmic void. Its ripples would eventually reach them from the spot where God had touched their universe, there on the shoulder of Orion. At first there was nothing, no sign at all, and the Elders were on the verge of ridiculing him, even banishing him as a false prophet. But then the star appeared. The bright light turned into a comet, an omen of great portent. Of good or evil Phineas knew not. Indeed, he felt that the comet was the sign of some great gift from God…that would eventually become a great curse. He pondered long and hard over this mystery.

150 Years
I have now completed my 123rd out of my 150 years sentence for killing someone. My victim was evil, and I took it upon myself to execute them. Taking a human life is never easy. I used to be a soldier, and I have killed a lot of people because I followed orders coming from the seat of power, high above my rank. Even then, it was not an easy act. The expression "kill or be killed," is a load of bullshit. No one really wants to kill, no one really wants to die.

The Journey
With less people around, nature had began to flourish again. As he slowly trudged through something pretty close to what humans believed paradise looked like, the irony was not lost on him. Mankind had always believed that a paradise awaited the righteous after death, maybe we just got te wrong idea of who, and just how many, had to die. Shaking his head, he dismissed the notion. Those that remained could never be described as righteous, not by any standard.

The Machine at the End of the World
Delicate flakes of white ash were falling on the Quiet City again. The snow of the apocalypse painted the streets in monochrome, but there hadn’t been much colour left to hide anyway. With the upper atmosphere in ruins, two centuries of solar radiation had bleached the City to greyscale years before the ash started falling.

The Clone
A band of 13 sinister, wealthy and elite families have gathered together and formed a sinister plan to wipe out the human race and replace them with clones. These clones will serve as "sheeple". These sheeple will live in a world designed to keep the families in power while carrying out lives designed to keep them happy, yet unaware that the world in which they live is actually a prison. These families, who call themselves Omega, have commissioned the world's top scientist to create these clones under the impression that they are doing so to pave a new way for human beings to obtain organ transplants and live healthier, longer lives. Immortality is even considered to be a possibility if the program, labeled Kingdom Come, is successful.

They Don't Need to Kill Us
If you've ever had your planet overrun by aliens, you know that it's not nearly as entertaining as Hollywood makes it out to be. The beings usually aren't friendly, and the Avengers never come to save you. It's you, whatever outdated technology you own, and and whatever level of patriotism you can muster--the more patriotic, the better. I've seen too many people join the fight, and give in, for lack of belief in what it is we are saving.

Preservation
Applause broke out through the laboratory as the bird flew a few wobbling meters. Ryan didn't scold then. They'd been working on the wings for the last month or so. It was an exciting development. They'd gotten the shape and angles correct from the beginning, but the birds couldn't seem to connect their wings with the ability to fly.

Wanderer of the Apocalypse - Episode II
You started following my adventure in October 2023. Unmistakably, the apocalypse did not start at that moment, as you might have imagined. The whole ordeal began way before then. One might say this was the outcome of so many years of accrued egocentrism, narcissism, lack of proper hygiene, and total disrespect for human lives. Embrace what was our early 21st-century society and its collapse.
