Bunker Life
Day 47. I’ve been underground in a bunker as I wait for the end of the world to pass by. I never thought I would see – or the day would come above ground – where the world leaders pushed the button to unleash nuclear bombs and radiation across the…

A Step Too Far
What do I do? My evil plan backfired and now I have the woman of my dreams lying limp in my arms. I was only meant to control the media and their narrative, not have any causalities: shit, shit, shit, I don’t know what to do. She was a reporter…

I can Almost See It…
I can visualise what I need to do and how I want my news article to read, but I can’t find the right words to convey what I want to say. I have deadlines to met and this article is important to the company. I just need to talk about…

Ocean Friends (Submitted by Alex)
I used to have friends and best friends when I was younger. But now as I get older I find myself drawn to the ocean to fill that void. I submerge myself under the water and hold onto the seaweed beneath me and I let all my fears out in…

REtelling of the will
Our family found our late grandfather’s will and we are unsure what it means. It is nonsense! It doesn’t clearly detail what happens after his passing. Even lawyers are struggling to understand, and we need to figure out what it states before we can make a claim to his will.…

Life’s Not a Movie
Movies misguided me. The heroes are all known and loved by the citizens, yet here I am without anyone acknowledging I exist. I walk down the streets not making a difference to the people around me. I get bumped into often as people don’t notice or care about the physical…

True Freedom
It may be dingy and most people screw their noses up at the idea of living in the sewers under the surface. It’s great. A few years back I murdered a man in cold blood and ran for it. I was under investigation for weeks and weeks. A manhunt was…

Understudy Overshadows
The show is going great so far. I have my understudy on stand-by since my health has been wavering for the last few hours, but I’m still smashing out all my lines and the sickness is barely getting to me. I hear whispers in the wings during the climax of…

Predictable Storylines

I Know I Shouldn’t…
Every time I tell myself, ‘I can stick to this’, ‘this time I’m gonna do it’, ‘I have a plan this time’, lots of water, low carbs, low sugar, eat healthy, no energy drinks, no chocolate… I always tell myself. This time I believed it too, unfortunately the bag of…

Family Origins (submitted by Alex)
I have a mother and father who initiated my existence and gave me the foundations for my physical appearance. But my true creator is infinity, because that is where I came from, and that is where I will go after this life.

Emotional Friend group
Attention is like the friend who drags me out of the house to go partying with strangers, to introduce me to their friend Embarrassment. No offense Embarrassment but I would prefer not to be your friend. I’m actually considering creating more distance in my friendship with Attention and maybe making…

Upside down Handwriting
I had a dream once like I was seeing the future. The fear of writing upside down. I had a feeling I would write normally for a while and one day my brain would flip it and become a new habit. Have I ever written upside down before? No, unless…

Honest Phone Call
“Hey, sorry I hung up the phone when you called last week. The truth is I never wanted to answer, to begin with. I frankly have no interest in selling my house with you. I have no interest in selling anything with you, so I apologise for answering in the…
