At 0713 on the 31st of February‚ thirty-two minutes before he had to leave for work‚ Moss dragged himself out of bed amidst the roar of rain pummeling against his capsule’s window. He showered in the cramped communal bathroom‚ drank his Honcho™ in his cramped doorway next to his cramped kitchen counter‚ and sat down on his cramped desk. As he pulled up a paperback copy of The NEON Patriot‚ he spied a figure blocking the ghost insignia on his window. Twenty minutes left. He wasn’t expecting guests

CHAPTER TEN The following morning‚ I try on my tennis clothes. I glance in the bedroom mirror. Yuck. The skirt is too short‚ and the top fits snug. I grab my racket and swing. Not bad. At least‚ Michael knew which racket was right for me. I sit on the bed to check my emails when I notice several texts. One if from Zack‚ the art director‚ who tells me that Simon’s driving him crazy. And that my office is ready‚ down the hall from his. I reply. “Chill if possible. See you on Monday.” The second

Sam gasped when she felt the bonds fall from her wrists and feet. Loki helped her to sit and a blanket appeared to cover her. The angry and incensed god turned slow to face his followers. A snap of his fingers had Connor’s father before him and bound in chains- the same chains that had earlier held his son. A wave of his hand had the exits sealed closed. Sam took a measure of satisfaction in the panicked murmurs around the group. “You have one opportunity now‚ godhi‚ to tell me why I was called

In the Fall of 2010‚ I watched my first televised football game from beginning to end. I sat down beside my older brother‚ Nick‚ and watched him as he analyzed every play of a Green Bay Packers game. He would scream at the tv when a bad play happened but would rejoice when a good one followed. I wanted to be just like him and know everything about football. I watched every game that season and annoyingly asked Nick every question that came to mind throughout the year. On February 6th‚ 2011 the Green

The Glare As I approached the empty table to make my case in front of the judge I suddenly felt like I had been kicked in the stomach. Was this a mistake? Should I have just taken the points on my license and called it good? Maybe I really was just a “reckless driver‚” I’m sure there are many people out there who would call me a reckless person in general. I was accurately dubbed with the nickname “Crash” in high school‚ not too many years earlier. I felt my fight or flight response kick in and

I walk around the dance floor awkwardly‚ looking for groups of people that I know well enough to be able to go and stand with and pretend like I’m part of whatever mind-numbing conversation they’re having. I check my watch for the fifth time in ten minutes‚ which is making time go even slower. It’s 8:50 I made the rule for myself to drop my first at 9 so I wouldn’t have to take the next until midnight. “Ten minute’s” I thought to myself “Stuff it”. I pulled out my wallet and reached my index finger

The smell of the sea was an overbearing smell that grows on you after awhile. The same was not for the smell of the fish my cooks were preparing. I am a huge fan of fish. I love seeing the way cooks can prepare different types of fish such as: salmon‚ crab‚ lobster‚ clams‚ oysters‚ calamari‚ alligator‚ shark and so on. Once these glorious fish or sea urchins are cooked it’s a whole different story. The aroma is addicting and something that you never forget. You may be wandering why I am talking

Don´t cut on the lights My nose was filled with the scent of old people and medicine as I roamed the hospital halls. I was searching for my brother. I looked around the long narrow hallway trying to find my brother’s room. I looked into the room closest to to me. I grabbed the paper file beside the door and opened it. “Nope not his.” I stated. I went to another door. There was no file. The room must have been empty. I had checked a few more rooms in this hallway. “If he’s not in this hallway‚ he

I pulled the trigger. Bang‚ bang‚ bang. Two shots for each police officer that stood before me. I wasn’t high. I wasn’t drunk. And I definitely wasn’t crazy… “I guess the reason I shot them is because I felt trapped. At least that’s the reason I keep telling myself.” “So that’s the reason”‚ said the lawyer. “I guess. I mean‚ I don’t really have a reason. I just did it.” “Did you know who the officers were?” “No‚ sir. All I truly know is that I killed them‚ which makes me the murderer. I have
