Under the Oceans
It was the fifth year living under the oceans. We built a habitat that would withstand the great floods that were coming from the polar ice caps melting. Most of the land that was left was so ravaged by war over the little resources that was left. We built right on the edge of what used to be Florida. We had all that you needed to survive.

The Mines of Obaeratus
The scanner was silent as the miner stood between its metal bars. The clerks watched the round device on the side, noting the miner’s name and designation in their paper log. He held his breath until, at last, the small green light was illuminated. The miner sagged as he exhaled and exited the scanner.

Unconscious
The day after the next, things would gradually change—either small enough to be unnoticed or something extravagant. Just this morning, the whole village witnessed a blinding, purple sunset for the first time. Really sets apart from our once lifeless grey city. This was the start of our flourishment.

No Such Thing as Green Stars
“There’s no such thing as green stars,” she heard him saying to the dog as he drank his milk. “Honey, you’re talking to the dog again,” she said groggily as she turned over in bed.

Forbidden Knowledge
A layer of mud caked on Tchakat’s skin, masking his scent and keeping the biting bugs from his back. Applied correctly it would cling as long as it did not dry, protecting him like armour. This second skin was a strategy of the Oranen—who though they had evolved a thick, waxy layer of flesh—were still plagued by flies that swarmed above the layer of oily water in which Oranen hunted. Jota swarms often worked together in search of succulent meat to feed their young, and unfortunate bodies in which to implant them. Usually, they were content to get the woody-fleshed bottom feeders, more plant than beast, but if they happened on one of Tchakat’s kind, the horrific scars and infestations left behind would as likely kill the poor host as render them pariahs to potential mates.

The Awakening of Dave
Dave was a 21 year old man that was on his last semester of college. His major was dance and he was not the best at it sadly. Everyday after class he would practice as much as he could. He had been doing that for the past 4 years. His frustration was growing and he was contemplating on giving it up when a freshman named Reyna joined the class and her dance moves were outstanding. Dave decided to ask her what her secret was but she said it was not her secret to tell but hinted that he could follow her after class and find out. So after their class ended Reyna took off running whilst doing all manners of parkour. Dave was amazed but didn't want to lose her so he imitated her as best he could. She stopped outside of a warehouse and then disappeared inside. Dave followed her inside but right as he got inside he was hit from behind. As he passed out he saw a green light head straight for his head. When he came to he saw 2 other people as well as Reyna. He was told that they were androids that were searching for a human to join their ranks and in return they'd fill his brain with the sickest dance moves. They explained that is what the green light was as he passed out. Dave thought they were pulling his leg so they put on some music and told him to dance. So, Dave got up and danced and he couldn't believe it. He was dancing just like Reyna. Dave wanted to know what he would have to do as part of their group. They explained that they wanted to use their green light on the entire human race but they didn't want anyone to be afraid to get it. So they just want Dave to explain that there is nothing to be afraid. Dave asked why was he hit from behind then. We didn't know who you were and we wanted to protect Reyna but while you were out she explained who you were. After you get the green light there is a sleeping period you must take for all the knowledge to be "downloaded" into your brain. Dave explained that he doesn't know every human but the androids said first he just needs to persuade the other students on campus. Of course I'll be helping said Reyna. So Reyna and Dave left the warehouse to start enlightening the other students. The students were a bit hesitant even with Reyna asking so Dave decided to improvise and say he found a cool rave that has the sickest music that has its grand opening tomorrow night at 10p. He said he left the flyers at home but he'll go home and get them right quick. He and Reyna went back to the warehouse and explained everything they needed. The other androids: Derek and Jason took Dave up into their station where they had everything to turn the warehouse into a rave. Dave suggested they recalibrate the green light to make the recipients pass out after getting beamed. So after the warehouse was turned into a rave and the flyers were made Reyna and Dave went back to the campus and passed them out. After they were all passed out they went back to the warehouse and told Derek an Jason they finished. Jason and Derek explained they'd be leaving other androids at this station to manage this nightclub and they'd need Dave to go with them up into their mothership to use the green light over the entire Earth. Dave was confused and said I thought you all were Androids? They said they were but decided to build a ship with their 3D printer to build a ship that would expedite their plans. So Dave got onto their ship with all of them and watched as they used their green light ray on the entire human race. After every single human came to the androids and Dave blasted music and watched as every human danced with some of the dopest moves. The dancing was concluded by 6a in which everyone fell asleep but come 10p they would be wired to dance until 6a once again. Since Dave was the first human to receive he green light into his brain he would live forever to enlighten each generation with the help of the Androids.

The Lonely God
Hurtling through the cosmos, worlds whirling by as I passed galaxy after galaxy, I wondered what was wrong with me. There was nothing wrong with me though. I was perfect. I was a god.

The Green Beam
It’s been an eternity since I last got behind the wheel, technically I never got my full licence, but I’ve dreamed of driving away from this place for so long I don’t care. My parents got me this car for my 16th birthday, and it’s been sitting on the side of the road outside the ‘Mont Park Asylum’ for the past three months, collecting tickets and dust.

Little Green Men
“Little Green Men have come to colonise Earth.” Nathaniel blurted out after the blindfold and gag were removed. He was sitting in a chair in a dark room only lit by a shaded green light from a light bulb. He turned his head left and right, trying to get his eyes to adjust and pierce the darkness. The presence of the green light made him calm but wary.

Spheres and Fears
I needed it, I didn’t know why, but the longing for it was insufferable. It hurt, like an ache in my soul. “Please. Just let me see it.” I begged. Expressionless eyes examined me from behind the glass. “Please.” I had begged and cried for so long, I would have given up but for the gnawing in my heart. “If we show it to you, will you stay?” He knew I couldn’t lie, as much as I might have wanted to, the insert prevented it. I had learned to manipulate it though, work around it for my purposes. “I will stay” I said sincerely. Deliberately not saying how long I would stay. He stared at me for what was probably seconds, but felt like hours, the pain that was already unbearable was quickly getting worse. Finally he held up his wrist and spoke “Bring it in.” My hands shook, would he really let me see it? Leaving was only a whisper in my mind behind the searing pain that I felt would soon kill me if it didn’t stop soon.
