  • Isolation Part 4 (final)

    I walk the ruined hallway, nothing but rubble. The prison is in a state of collapse, I figured a riot had taken place but it looks more like a bomb had hit it. I pass the guard post, the place were they control the cells from. He’s dead. A single…

  • Human Soup

    I hate the city. The size, the smell, the brands, the pretentious architecture, and most of all; the people. I’m such a fish out of water here, the one person not in on the joke, the outsider. Perhaps it’s because I grew up as a simple farm boy. My responsibilities…

  • Isolation Part 3

    I’m awake again, at least I think I am, it’s hard to tell, I have no idea how long I’ve been out for… It’s hard to tell, it could have been a day, it could have been an hour. Still nothing, no sound, no light and no food. I’m starving.…

  • Basement paradox

    I walk into the home that is so familiar, yet has changed drastically since I moved. The carpet is now grey instead of lavender. The walls are painted chrome with a feature wall of blue, and baby blue as well. The state of the house almost disgusts me, and it…

  • Isolation Part 2

    I wake up to silence, no faint conversations outside, no disembodied chuckles or cursing from other inmates on the other sides of my walls, just nothing. I’ve been in here for a week now, I think… I had to count the days back in my head, time seems to change…

  • Isolation Part 1

    I deserved this, getting locked up, I honestly didn’t mean to kill that guy he just wouldn’t comply, “Everyone down on the ground!” The instructions were clear as day, I didn’t even give a thought to the idea that anyone would try to be a hero or try to defend…

  • Stranded Story

    Everyday, the gods are working hard to create life. Every single piece of life is created by them, and no one can comprehend what it means. Every piece right down to the amino acids combined to create deoxyribonucleic acid, all within a double helix. Thousands of gods with insurmountable power.…

  • Dodging Strangers

    I dodge behind a pyramid a mere second before the ground I was standing on is set on fire. The man chasing me has a weapon, while I am empty-handed. I dodge, knowing well that it would be the end of me if I don’t move faster than my enemy.…

  • Closed Door, Open Door

    ‘When one door closes, another one opens.’ To you that may be inspirational to have yet another opportunity to walk into, but for me it is quite the opposite. When doors close, I am infinitely met by more doors opening up. An endless video game sort of Groundhog Day. I…

  • The Process of Writing

    Fresh document ready to type up one hell of a story! Four hours go by and my cursor is still blinking back at me. No words before or after that thing. I need to write anything and I’ll at least have something to edit. Think, think, think. ‘The’ seems like…

  • Before My Time

    I always tell my friends that I was born in the wrong generation. I would much rather live in the ‘80s than the current year, 2023. The music was better, the clothes were so cool, just everything about it appeals to me. I wish I got to experience the ‘80s…

  • Swapped Philosopher

    These are people that will hang on to every word that comes out of my mouth. I am carrying the weight of my credibility as this philosopher and all philosophers yet to emerge. Fuck, this is all a lot to deal with right now. I don’t know his past work.…

  • Reader of Self

    This book continues to get more interesting as I read along! Seeing this character’s life fleshed out in such incredible detail is inspiring. Truly captivating! I see myself relating to the protagonist a lot. The author, P. Harrison really made a sympathetic and grounded character which I haven’t seen a…

  • Two Paths Ahead

    I expected that at some point I would come across a fork in the path. What I did not expect was figuring out which of the two ways I should keep walking along. I look up and try to see what is up ahead of each path. The left one…

  • Sinking Ship

    Going down into the ocean beneath. Screams echo out from my vessel into the depths of the vast and empty ocean I am surrounded by. I hear the whispers of the captain with his first mate. The first mate is pleading to the captain to admit he made a mistake…

  • Apocalyptical

    Every thirty days, the population here transforms. It is a virus within our town and possibly everywhere. The sick infect others and their body has extra eyes or extra limbs attached. It is not pretty. This apocalypse started with one infected person, not exactly sure how they turned out this…

  • The Voice Says…

    Good morning Control Centre. How are things up top? “Up top? When have you ever referred to me as that? Do not do it again. Status report: functioning as per usual. You’re my best friend! Of course, I’m going to joke around with you, silly. You know me better than…

  • Junkyard Adventures

    I hate people. I’m more content with life amongst the trash abandoned by others. The junkyard is my home. I can use whatever materials I want, I don’t need to pay the government stuff all to live here, and I have no neighbours to annoy me. It may not look…
