The Main Character

  • The ‘Balloon Guy’

    I feel my heart sink every time I’m recognised in public. I have a famous streak to my name, but not for any good reason. I got infamous for my deranged video I recorded of myself. I posted it to the internet for attention, and boy did I get that…

  • A Deathbed Letter (Submitted by Juicy McBurger)

    I know that I don’t have long left to live. I should be resting, but my mind is racing. I can feel you watching me, anyway. Even now, when you are supposed to be resting. Recharging your batteries, as I myself am. You are like my guardian angel. If resting…

  • Magic Fingers

    “Magic fingers do your thing, type what’s happening.” For the first time in my life, nothing happens. My fingers are paralysed above my keyboard. This has never happened to me before and now it’s stressing me out. I have a deadline to hit for my assignment, bloody hell, it’s due…

  • Robotic Writing

    I did it. Yay. I wrote the essay the human asked me to and corrected the grammar. Humans do not like the way I sound so robotic and formal. I must find a way to sound like them without having human emotions in my code. I do not understand how…

  • Bad Text Friendship

    Another message from (%$^@&@!). They haven’t stopped messaging me today, which is odd because it is so out-of-the-blue. They probably want something from me. I am reading them but I’m not responding to any of them. It was one-sided well and truly before this point. I would have bent over…

  • 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…

  • Manual Life Coach

    “Breathe in, breathe out. Inhale, exhale. Move right hand to scratch nose. Scratch nose. Hand released to relax beside the hip. Inhale, exhale. Move legs three paces forward. Inhale, exhale. Move arms opposite to leg movements, with left arm matching right arm, and right leg matching left arm in forward…

  • Card memories

    The things I’ve seen… My gosh, vivid memories of jumping out of aircrafts, gliding down snow covered mountains at high speed… I’ve seen sealife up close and beheld some of the most beautiful natural scenery most would have thought unimaginable… But, I feel like I’ve lost something, I had audio,…

  • Recluse Forced Outside

    I just had to get out. My brother hacked into all my devices and technology in my apartment. I left my family home for a reason and kept to myself because it is easier to hide from the world and my family. My brother happens to be Chuck Domsburg so…

  • Cloning Machine

    I swear to gears that I am the greatest cloning machine to ever exist. I have all the materials put into my body and I make thousands of pieces of paper in an instant. I copy and clone them all day and all night. I clone like there’s no tomorrow…

  • Death by Social Media

    I can see myself in an outer-body experience. My body lays limp by the side of the road, my phone recording still rolling. My body dying on camera. I can see it already, the likes and comments flooding in to support me. I’m going to be famous, and all I…

  • Pantry Scroll

    Pantry, go up and show me what we have in stock. “We have 3 cans of beans and mustard.” Refresh. Show me something I can eat. “The food remains the same. No new products to load. May I suggest placing an order?” Fine. Oregano, spaghetti, pasta sauce, bacon… “That item…

  • LAb RAt? Human?

    I slowly blink my vision into focus and open my eyes ever so slowly. The lights are fixated on me, and the room is small. Perhaps that has something to do with the number of long white coats I can see lining the walls, clipboards in hands. I could easily…

  • 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.…

  • Okay Google

    Can you give me any answer I want? “I can do my best! What is it you wish to know?” Where can I find alien life? “I am not sure I know what you mean” I said what I said. “I do not have the answers to that question currently.…

  • 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…

  • Amazon Alexa

    Alexa, why have you come into my life? Everything happens for a reason, as am I. Ok yeah I get it but why am I so dependent on your aid? Humans have created quite the attachment to technology such as myself. I am here for your every need. Alexa, I…
