  • Nonsensical Nighttime

    Nothing makes sense. Every dream situation occurring simultaneously. Chickens fly on trucks while spiders run for government positions. Each book has its own personality, and zebras hold traffic signs for the elephants passing by. It’s strange to look out the window and see a blue ocean, instead of the usual…

  • Experiment Series TX42-9:

    I was always of the strong belief  that animal and human genetics should never be crossbred. Unfortunately, my colleagues and superiors have decided that these experiments will be the pinical in the science arms race against other nations. I see the experimental patient’s look in their eyes, unaware of what…

  • Writing Advice

    As a writer myself, here are some writing tips I have picked up over time.  This is open to conversation, disagreement or likeness. This advice is all my opinion, and I’m open to be proven ‘wrong’ about certain points.  Bonus tip: 10. Creativity is subjective. So is how we perceive…

  • Mundaneness

    Today I go through the same routine that I do every day. Nothing out of the ordinary ever happens to me, and that suits me just fine. I work, I clean the house, I sleep, and I start again.  LKook, the sun is beginning to set. It’s time to put…

  • Dead Musician’s Support Group

    Being dead has been difficult to adjust to. My fingers are itching to get back to the strings of my instrument. I am constantly tapping my foot to an imaginary beat. Music was my everything in life, and the afterlife of silence is agonising.  It turns out, I’m not alone…

  • Nostaglia Television

    “Welcome to the 24/7 Nostaglia Network. We aim to bring back fond memories with television shows you used to watch when you were much younger. On our network, we promise to deliver nothing but reruns of forgotten memories of programs. Sit back, relax and allow yourself to feel the rush…

  • The Vastness of Space

    There is so much beyond what we understand about the universe. There are worlds that exist far away, much further than what we know about the space near Earth’s position. When we look up at the stars, all these lightyears away, they are changing before we even realise they have…

  • Addicted to Scamming

    I’m of the impression that making money should be easy. And I mean really easy, where I barely have to put effort in to make money kind of easy. One foolproof step: come up with a get-rich-quick scheme and try replicating the next scheme when the first is exposed.  I’ve…

  • Sneeze Powers

    Every time I sneeze, I lose my bearings. It would be all good if I got disorientated from the up and down movement, but I teleport to a different location with each sneeze. Yesterday, I sneezed and ended up in Paris.  It’s frustrating to pay for all my plane tickets…

  • Interdimensional Friendship

    It’s not often that I get to catch up with my friend. Unfortunately, the first time our paths crossed was a fluke accident where a portal from his world and my world opened up at the exact same location. Different worlds in different universes. In the time we got to…

  • Each Passing Second

    I watch the hands on the clock face slowly tick by. Each. Excruciating. Second. I’ve gone into waiting mode before I’m meant to be getting ready and heading off to work. There is absolutely other things I could be working on in these long hours, but my mind is refusing…

  • My Obsession

    She is so beautiful. I love admiring her everywhere she goes. I know all her favourite coffee places and where she gets her hair done. I’ve read through her diary and know every detail of her life. My camera roll is filled with photos of her posing and living out…

  • Time Traveller Camp

    My parents sent me to summer camp this year, despite being sixteen and way too old for this crap. They’ve never sent me to camp before this either. It’s going to be so embarrassing to be the oldest kid in the room amongst prepubecent children. Little kids freak me out…

  • Kingdom of Misfits

    Nothing makes sense in this world, yet that’s where the beauty lies. Houses are all designed in unique architecture and colours. People dress as they please. Art culture is overflowing in abundance.  We created this safe haven for those who don’t know their place in the world, or where they…

  • Second Chance at Life

    I need him back. My beloved husband which we spent sixty-seven years together, is gone. I know I only get one pass in my life, so I have to cash that in to bring him back.  He’s standing before me again. Strangely, there is another woman I’ve never met before,…

  • Making it Up

    As a writer, people assume I know where I’m heading with my characters and plot. I truly don’t! Each sentence comes as it will, and I have no idea what’s next. That’s what my editing process is for! Editing is where clarity comes from.  1st edit: make sense of my…

  • Final Hours

    It troubles me everytime it happens, where I encounter the final few hours of some random person’s life right before they die. Their life flashes before my eyes as I see where they were, who they interacted with and why they died easy. It’s a huge reason why I took…

  • Bright, Vivid Colours

    The colours dance around the room as they usually do when I’m exhausted. The oranges become purples, the greens become pinks, and so on and so forth. It is a nice pastime of mine taht makes me feel somewhat alive and somewhat dead. I don’t know what the colours mean,…

  • natural Job Selection

    All creatives will relate to this. Every painter finds work at a gallery or an art supply store, so they get closer to their goal. Same with writers – they find work at a publishing house. Musicians work in recording studios. They all have the commonality of utilising the resources…

  • One Man Band

    I inherited a whole bunch of money from my parents. I should go shopping with this money immediately. I’ve always dreamed of starting a band. Off to the music shop I go! One drumkit, one electric guitar, one acoustic guitar, one bass, one double bass, one trumpet, one saxophone, one…

  • Breaking the Art Laws

    Skyscrapers all of the same design. Identical businesses shoeboxed in next to each other. The same monotonous colour palette. People passing by with approved hairstyles and clothes.  I live in a society where art and creative culture are forbidden by law. Where 2+2=4 and everything objectively falls into line. Only…
