[WP] As a young wizard you uncovered an old spell that resurrects one of your eldest ancestor. You do so in curiosity, only to face one of the most feared creature the world ever experienced thousands of years ago. The creature recognizes you as its descendant while you stare at it in disbelief.

I just stood there, mouth a gape, staring with unbelieving eyes at the creature before me. It was as massive as it was terrifying, being 6 foot tall myself, it was easily twice my size. It had dark grey skin, almost like that of a rhino or elephant, but for all it's size it's head seemed almost disproportionately small, and with no visible neck. For being twice as tall it had too have been at least 4 or 5 times heavier, arms and legs like tree trunks, and a torso like one of those flat faced semi-trucks. By far the most terrifying part though were the eyes, not to mention the complete lack of any visible mouth or nose. It had four eyes, one pair where you would think eyes should be, and one pair being set a little closer to where one would think the creatures' ears would be. There was no white to it's eyes, just darkness, black in the center and dark shades of gray fading away from where I was sure the pupil was. There was no doubt that the creature was looking at me though, it's gaze not quite looking me in the eye, but piercing, as if it were trying to see behind me, and it was quite unsettling. I had read about the creature only briefly, texts that even mention it were scarce and mostly in volumes speaking of mythologies. Images of it were scarcer still, but the memory of the few times I had seen them had certainly stuck. Those texts never gave a name, only referring to it as The Destroyer. In the ancient myths, it was believed to have been responsible for the razing of all of Atlantis. Completely frozen in fear, I still just stood there staring at it, wondering where I had gone wrong in casting the spell. It was old magic and translation took a fair bit of time, but it was still fairly straight forward. The only real difficulty being finding the dragon scale needed for the fire. Then, in a low voice, I heard odd sounding words that seemed to be coming from the beast, though from where exactly I had no idea. When the sounds stopped, still utterly terrified, I could barely summon the courage to raise my hands and shoulders in an obvious state of confusion. I saw it's head tilt to the side a little and it's horrifying dark eyes somehow visibly narrowed. It was almost ten feet away, but with one step it closed the distance immediately and held out it's giant hand in front of my face. Flinching backwards a bit when it suddenly put forth one finger and reached to touch my head. The finger made contact with my left temple, and it was warm, almost hot. The sensation that followed was by far the most unsettling part yet, it was like when you're half asleep and you think you're falling, awakening in terror only to realize your still laying down. It was like that, but in slow motion and with the added twist of having the sensation of something trying to pull you from your body. Lasting only a few long moments, the relief I felt when it pulled away was immeasurable. The monster took a half step back and raised it's hands to the sky, slowly lowering it's hands palm down, as if it were doing some kind of tai chai breathing exercise. Again, in a trance of complete fear, I was convinced it was going to cast some kind of spell and render untold destruction all around. It was odd though, cause no such spell came forth, and as strange as it was, it almost seemed to be shrinking. Suddenly the light bulb in my brain came on. It w*as* getting smaller, but not only that, there were other curiosities happening at the same time. It's skin and eyes seemed to be getting lighter and it even looked as though it's eyes closer to the ear area were moving closer to where the more normally placed eyes were. Right about when it was only about a foot taller than me was when things really started to get weird. The rear eyes got so close to the front ones, they were almost touching, until they were squeezed together and then suddenly merged. Things were starting to grow too, and it was quite unsettling. Hair was starting to grow out of the top of the head along with, what I was assuming was going to be, lips, ears, and a nose. It's chest seemed to be growing oddly too, as if it were becoming pregnant with two tiny, assumingly hideous creatures. Once it was my height it dawned on me what was happening, and I immediately looked away in embarrassment. How could I be so dumb, obviously it was changing into the form of a human woman. Furthermore, how ridiculous was it that I felt embarrassed at this particular moment. Still looking away, I felt a light tapping on my shoulder. I turned to look over my shoulder very slowly, worried now that I would accidently see too much, stopping when I made eye contact with what turned out to be quite a lovely young woman. "Could I borrow your jacket dear? It seems people these days are quite modest, and I can't tell you how hungry I am right now."

The earth cracks with a thunderous sound that sickens me. I just *know* it's the sound of broken bones, only multiplied by a thousandfold. The decayed hand of The Beast shoots up the wound on the ground, and grasps around until it finds leverage. A skinny arm pulls the tattered and ragged body up from the depths where it should stay, and two burning eyes focus on mine. "Look how much you've grown!" The Beast howls, her voice making the ground shake. She lifts her other hand and it snaps up close to my face, pinching my cheek. Her skin is rough and her claws dangerous. "You just have your mother's eyes, don't you? How long has it been? 10? 13 years?" I shake my head. "Since when?" I manage to ask, trembling. "Since you were born, silly. I held you just like this." The Beast mimes shaking something in her hand, as if she was holding an invisible pair of dice. "I'm... I'm 34." I correct her. Her gasp pushes me back with a gust of air, and I land on my own ass. "I can't believe it's been so long! How come?" I look up at her. My vision is clouded with tears of fear. "That's not possible! You died before the Age of Crystal!" I cry out. My knuckles are white on top of my fists. "The what?" The Beast rises her head over the treeline and gasps again. The few animals that hadn't run away just yet flee for their lives. The forest is silent, her movements echoing through the unnatural stillness. "Where's the Keep? Aio, what's going on here?" I recognize that name. Aio the Terrible. A figure of legend, the one that tried to revive The Beast and was thwarted by the Empire and the Council. That bloody war was almost as destructive as The Beast's original rampage. She looks back at me. The grass on the ground flares up and burns away under her gaze. "Oh, I'm dreadfully sorry. You are not Aio, are you? I seem to be confused." She stomps her elbow on the ground, leaving a crater. Her horned, burning face lowers to look at me closer. "You do have my blood in your veins. You are family." Her toothy mouth splits in a mockery of a smile. "What do you think? Shall we try again, uh?" She asks. I simply pass out from the fear.

My stomach twisted in a manner I didn’t think possible. The urge to expel everything I’d eaten in the past week from my mouth was on a dangerous uphill climb, and my blood felt like ice churning through every inch of my body. My clammy hands trembled, letting the heirloom—a simple necklace—drop to the floor. It clattered, momentarily cutting the deathly silence in the chamber which held me and this— *Thing.* It was only human in appearance, baring something I hated to call my likeness. A woman described as the most wicked to ever exist. Someone that stood unopposed as the pinnacle of abomination, a pedestal of monstrous malice and inhuman inconsideration of life. The evilest creature to lay eyes upon the world. In centuries upon centuries, no warlord, tyrant, or beast even managed to hold a candle to the blazing wildfire that was her sheer villainy. I didn’t dare utter her name, but I could not stop my mind from betraying me and impulsively bringing it to life. Noelle La Pravus, the woman I’d given new life to only moments ago. The woman who I now knew as my predecessor. She stepped forwards, escaping the shadow that momentarily eclipsed her form. My beady eyes met hers for only a second, for that was all I could bare before I fell to my knees, gaze glued to the ground I clung to. It was not an act of respect, nor obedience. But every cell in my body instinctually bent to whatever horrific aura Noelle had about her, and, like how once naturally shirks from flame after being burnt, standing near her felt like a noose around my throat. I realized, then, that this would be the day I die. No miracle, no god, could save me from the monster I’d given new flesh. No, in fact, they most likely damned me. Cursed my foolish curiosity, which birthed the second coming of absolute evil. I did nothing but wait, preparing for whatever manner of creature she would allow to make a meal out of me with her manipulation of dark matter itself. I squeeze my eyes tight, and wait, and wait, and wait, and pray it will be swift. But nothing comes. When I finally build the minuscule courage to open my eyes, through blurry vision, I can make out a hand. Terror grips me as she grasps my wrist. Instead of tearing my arm off, shoulder included—I’m lifted to my feet. For the first time in the minutes I’d been subjected to this hell, I finally felt worthy of taking a breath. And then, in the moments that pass, I can amass enough strength in my tongue to speak. “Why—“ “Why not?” She cuts me off, and I don’t make the mistake of doing anything but listen. “Your blood is mine. Then, in the same manner, my blood is yours. That spell requires strength, child. And you seem to have it in spades. Your life will not end here. It has become the conduit for mine to begin anew.” “You are now an incarnation of carnage, just as I. We shall open old scars and slice new wounds into the world. From this moment forwards, think of yourself as cursed. And I, as your hex.” With no more than a swivel of her body, one of her four arms dragged my comparatively small figure along, descending deeper into the blackness before us. “Come. *We’ve much to do.*”

"Raise the dead," they said, "It'll be fun,' they said. Ok, they never said that. The one thing they did say was never to experiment with necromancy. Surely, resurrection didn't count though, right? That's animating skeletons and liches and stuff. This should be a positive thing, at any rate. I guess it helps to know who or what you're resurrecting, though. Magic is hereditary, and while nobody knows exactly where it began, and sometimes an anomaly does pop up, for the most part magic runs in the blood, and it's that simple. As such family lineages go back at least a few hundred years for most, a thousand or so for a few select families. Know someone who was "descended from Charlemagne"? Chances are they're magic. Or full of it. In any case, nobody's lineages go back much past that, and right now you were sincerely wishing they did. With a few fateful words you had brought back to the world something that should have stayed dead - that you wished had. And it was sizing you up. Sanavar, The End of Hope, among other epithets, stood before you, and when they spoke, your marrow chilled in your bones. "Greetings, my progeny." The words were... felt, not heard. "You are powerful for one so young." Stammering you answered, not exactly knowing what you'd say as the words dribbled out. "Thank you, I'm a bit of a natural" you said, already feeling like being too proud of your accomplishments today is a mistake. Still, you babbled a bit because you knew who you were speaking to, and didn't know what else to say. "I mean, I study whatever I can get my hands on." The spell you'd pulled out from the abandoned magical library lingered in your mind. Casting your eyes to the floor, if only to break the gaze of Sanavar, you fumbled behind you to bring the scroll forward, the thought of a way to undo this passes over your mind. Seizing upon the dusty parchment and bringing it around in front of you, you look up and suddenly realize Sanavar towers directly in front of you, and they reach out and snatch your wrist. "Old magic indeed," a voice of flame and smoke reverberates in your mind as they appraise the scroll, as your wrist feels frozen and smoldering at once. "This place is a source of immense power, and you were wise to try this ritual here. By our wisdom we shall make of you our Emissary to this world, and you shall bring them under my heel. Kneel, progeny." Wrist still in an iron grip, you do as commanded. A hand that seems to shimmer in reality, there and not, reaches out to touch your forehead. Your free hand behind you, and with all your concentration, you make a symbol that your master taught you, something to be used in direst emergency. Finishing not a moment too soon, you feel an inrush of seeming incomprehensible thought, and the realm around you swims and shifts. "Rise," commands the voice of terror. Shakily clambering to stand, your vision swims violently in a manner you've never contemplated. Behind the unholy being a light so bright it causes you disorientation and pain explodes into view, a luminous being emerges. Hearing your name as if from a great distance you wince and double over, only feeling the aftermath of what happened. Sanavar roared as the blast of magic impacted them, and you felt the blastwave washed past you. Glimpsing him from between Sanavar's legs, your old master and grand master of your order completed another spell lifting Sanavar off the ground and into the wall behind you. Scrambling to your feet you summon what energy you have and steady yourself as Sanavar prepared to counter attack. Remembering a spell you'd once read through the brain fog, your master's blast was caught and deflected by Sanavar as if he'd sent a training flare. Adrenaline slowed your perception of time and seeing an opening, you unleash a swarm of razor-like voids in space. It tore at Sanavar's flesh, and over the sound of pain, in your mind you hear that darkest voice in rage and shock, "You dare to attack with my own magic, progeny!?!" Mid summon, your master was staring at you in something between appraisal and horror. Focusing to clear your mind and appreciating what had just been said, you realize you never studied that spell, or even heard of it. Like a splinter in your mind, a spell calls to you. A brief flick of your wrist sharpens your recollection, the memory of the scroll you'd had before clarifies. Sanavar, seeing the curl of your lip, takes a defensive stance, ready to deflect your spell. A complex twisting produces a burst of electricity in the air. Directing your motion directly at The End of Hope, the deflecting spell starts, but stops as quickly as it started. A gentle gust of wind enters the room through boarded up windows, and Sanavar fades to mist. "Master, I..." "We will talk about this," he says sharply, but then, softening, "after some rest." "And much more," you think to yourself, without meaning to. Your master's eyes widen in shock.

[WP] You are at a glitzy New Years Eve party and when it hits midnight the year suddenly becomes 2053.

\[New & Unexpected\] "Okay, I think I'm caught up...," Orryn kept his voice to a low whisper out of embarrassment. If he understood the situation correctly, he had nothing to be shy about. But, he couldn't shake the feeling that he sounded crazy just by speaking aloud. "...this is like a work party for you, right?" he asked Justice. The pink-haired woman with braided pigtails nodded. "But, work for you is teaching students from other universes; so we're in an alternate universe right now, right?" he looked out over the balcony at the golden sun dipping into the purple ocean. He could hear the idle chatter of the rest of the guests behind him. On the one hand, he wished Justice didn't spring all of this on him on their second date. On the other hand, he was glad she had proof for everything she revealed to him. "And, even though New Year's Eve is still a month away on my Earth, time moves differently on different Earths, so it's actually New Year's Eve here?" "Yes, and no," Justice nodded. "Time does move at a different pace for each Earth; but, there's a standardized time zone that keeps everything in sync. It's called SST, or Sharp Standard Time. So, it's not just this Earth that's celebrating, tonight marks the end of the year for every Earth on SST." "And it's going to be 2023 everywhere?" Orryn asked. Justice shook her head. "SST really only keeps days in order. But there are too many variations between the years on Earths to keep them consistent. There are just as many futuristic Earths as pre-historic ones and it'd be impossible to say they're all in 2022. But, this Earth is finishing up 2022," she said. "Amazing...," Orryn didn't have another word he could use. He had no idea how much his life would change once he met Justice, but he was glad he did. Everything felt real, and normal even. But, he was standing in an alternate universe at a party with some very supernatural guests, not to mention his own date. He shook his head and chuckled in amusement. "...you know...you telling me you're a werewolf is actually the most normal thing I've experienced tonight." "You've only been to one other universe," Justice giggled. "You've got a lot more to see next year." "Bring it on, I'm ready," Orryn stood up straighter and flashed a grin at Justice. Then, a sudden commotion drew their attention. Orryn looked over and saw the guests crowding around the center of the outdoor patio. "10!" the countdown began. Justice was quick to hook her arm in Orryn's and move them closer to the crowd. "9!" they continued as Justice and Orryn reached the group. "8!" this time Orryn and Justice joined in the count. "7!" Justice gave him a smile as she leaned into his shoulder. "6!" Orryn had a sudden insight and he turned back to the ocean. The sun still hadn't finished setting behind the horizon. "huh?" he gave Justice a look of confusion as he nodded toward the sun. "5!" everyone except Orryn counted. Justice giggled and leaned closer to whisper in his ear. "SST, remember?" "I guess...," he thought he had it for a moment; but, counting down to midnight while the sun was still technically out threw him off. "4," he mumbled weakly with everyone else's count. "3!" the group shouted. Orryn was trying to make peace with not having to know everything at that moment. He decided to focus on the good things. "2!" he was surrounded by a group of friendly people with a very attractive woman very close to him. He may not have known exactly where he was; but, there were worse ways to bring in the new year. "1!" Orryn shouted as energetically as the rest of the group. No matter what the new year brought, he wasn't going to let confusion slow him down. He felt like he was becoming a new man and all it took was being with the right people at the right time. He knew things would be different now. They had to be. Instead of 'zero' on the next count, everyone cheered instead. Justice hugged Orryn and echoed the same greeting that everyone else was shouting. "Happy 2053!" she said. "What?" that was an unexpected comment and Orryn pulled away from her instantly; it was hard to enjoy the moment when he missed 30 years in the blink of an eye. "WHAT?" he turned and looked out over the ocean. The sun had set; but, there were hundreds of lights out on the water that weren't there before. Dozens of futuristic jet boats hovered on the water while other jet cars gracefully floated past the balcony they were on. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!??" he shouted loud enough to quiet the rest of the party. "What do you mean?" Justice asked. "It's a new year...," she said. "A new year??" Orryn gestured at a car flying by. "It's supposed to be 2023! It's been 30 years!" he said. The gathered guests shared a laugh, then they started their own conversations again while Justice focused on Orryn. "Why is time so difficult for you to understand?" she asked. "You didn't lose 30 years if that's what you're worried about." "So, explain it to me then," Orryn said. "It was 2022 a few seconds ago, you said so yourself. How is it 2053 now?" "They're just numbers...," Justice said. "They're for documenting, keeping track of things. The order doesn't actually matter if the rest of the system is organized." "Then, why is everything futuristic now? It wasn't a little while ago...," he asked. Justice nodded. "When I told you that each Earth has its own time, I actually meant they have their own timeline. By the time this Earth reaches 2053 naturally, they'll have flying cars and all that. So, since it's 2053 now, there you go." "But.. it didn't reach it naturally...," Orryn argued. Justice giggled and shook her head. "Of course it did. Once the timeline is complete, it can be replayed in any order," she said. "What?" Orryn felt like he was getting more and more lost. "Oh, don't worry about it tonight," she said. "I'll take you to Mundo tomorrow morning; you'll get all your questions answered there." "Just one more to make sure I've got this right...," he asked. Justice nodded. "You're a werewolf, and I'm in another universe. So, right away things aren't normal.... so, you're saying that someone, somewhere, has the power to rearrange time so that it happens in any order??" "Yeah," Justice nodded. "My boss, Ms. Sharp did it," she said. "Why?" Orryn asked. Justice giggled. "Just for fun, for this party," she said. "It gets kind of boring having to do things in order all the time." \*\*\* Thank you for reading! I’m responding to prompts every day. This is story #1810 in a row. (Story #365 in year five.).

"Organic life sample, local-Orion Arm, Antares-7," Science Officer Second Lucinda Saylor placed the liquid sample from the foaming terrestrial seas of Antares-7 into the micro organizer, and watched numbers spin across the viewscreen. Her cybernetics would be recording and relaying the information to the ships log, but she enjoyed the simple pleasures of a bit of commentary to help the analysis along the chain to earth easier. "Largest recorded organism is approximately eight micrometers, standard size array about 7 micrometers on a four standard deviation spread - mean is 1.5 micrometers. Lacking upper end sizes on microorganisms indicates an early stage microbe development." She left off the word *again.* Pentrating radar, thermal analysis, and calorimeter samples all concluded the same thing - there were once again no creatures significantly beyond the development level of picoplankton. Humanity had so far only surveyed perhaps 40% of the Orion Arm, but so far the second great filter hypothesis was holding up well. One hundred and forty seven planets thus far had shown evidence of microbial life, with thus far zero instances of multicellular life discovered. Eight planets thus far had proven somewhat suitable for human life. Antares VII was just on the outer edge of that categorization, the dual stars providing more than enough heat even at nearly the orbital diameter of Eres. The planets magnetosphere was compromised however, so terraforming would be rather expensive. No finder's fee for this one. A stray thought directed into her cybernetics opened a comm link to the first science officer, "eight μm, I'll let the survey team know to pack it up. If you want you can be the one to tell the captain to pack it up," she sensed acknowledgement of the transmission and added another stray thought, "even with the magnetosphere, she's pretty tectonically stable, maybe a 3% bonus?" The laughter she sensed in her mind was pretty dismissive, "*best not to hold your breath."* Thanks Jakob, always great with morale. She set about zeroing out the survey equipment, next on their path was Betelguese. Guess someone had a thing for binary stars this cruise. Maybe this time they'd find a Eurkaryote. Now that would be worth some cash.

On the day a Daughter of S'kan was to become a Mother, she would be taken to the shores of the Mirror, and told the True History of the Shining Beings. Every word was carefully crafted, to be repeated only to their Daughters, when they were about to be Mothers themselves, such a Sacred History it was. So the old Mother sat her Daughters before her, so they could watch the stars in both the Mirror and the sky, and she began her tale, like her Mother did with her, and her Mother's Mother, and so on. "They came from the sky, my Daughters, in shinny carriages spewing fire more blinding than any ever seen. They were as tall as five grown Mothers atop each other, and their apendages ended in five parts, as ours end in six. Their wore pure white and silver, and their faces were obscured by a mirror even more perfect than the one before us. As such, we called them the Shining Ones. They came, my Daughters, and they saw S'kan, and all the riches of this world, and for many cicles they stayed and explored. When they arrived, the Leader Mother was afraid of these strange beings. Her people were uneasy too, uncertain if these new beings were salvation or destruction, new Gods to be adored or Monsters to be fought. So she made her people hide inside the deep of the caves, and went to spy these beings herself. The Leader Mother saw that these strange beings were carefull in their actions, and gentle with the world around them, so much smaller than they were. And while scared, she though she could try and give them gifts, so they would leave in peace. She secrectly left to them offerings of fruit and meat in a weaved basket, like she would to a visiting Mother, and watched from her hidden place as it was received by them, each of the Shining Ones taking turns holding the offerings. She prepared rare flowers and gems polished smooth, then, and while this too was received well, she noticed that they were searching for the one leaving the gifts. And so, while she wept for her Daughters, she knew whar had to be done to appease the Shining Ones. She returned to her people, and informed them of her decision, and what she had learned. Then, she went to the Shining Ones, and with her she took her Daughters, and said to the Leader of the Shining Ones: 'Take me, O'Great Ones, and my Daughters if you wish, but please do not harm my people. We have nothing more to offer you, but we will serve you as our Gods.' But the Shining Ones were nothing but kind, and instead thanked the Mother for her gifts. They knelt on the earth, as not to tower over her, such huge beings that they were, and they said: 'We are not Gods, but we travel through the stars looking for Life. We have been looking for a long time, and we are so happy to finally meet you and your Daughters, we are so happy we are not alone anymore'. They offered their friendship, and guidance, and gave us our precious Mirror, the very one in front of you. They travel even now, searching for Life, but they promised us that, on the day we were to travel the stars as they do, they would welcome us all to their sky, and into their Home as we had. Don't forget, my Daughters, the Shining Ones. The friendship they have forged across stars, of the loneliness of these beings who traveled for so long looking for others. Don't forget about the 'Humans'. "

"Love is for fools," is what I used to say in the days before I met Arthur. A misguided journey that leads one not to happiness, but instead to the fractured life that comes as a consequence of irrational emotions. It seemed that those in love dropped all their pretenses and gave up the principles they held dear; right down to those most profound morals that guided them in the darkest times. For a brief moment, they entered an alternate universe where stark reality became a world of lollipops and sugar-coated smiles. Never did I meet anyone in love that didn't regret it later. Arthur changed that for me. In him, I saw rationality take form. He refused to let go of his principles no matter how the wind blew. For him, morality and correct decisions were paramount. He would turn away anyone that tried to sway him otherwise. He was a rock. I just knew we were meant to be together from the first time we met and I spoke about the intricacies of stellar material. I knew his perspective was mathematic, built on things that were concrete, and I was taken by him at once. In the beginning, I thought about Arthur day and night. I even saw him in my dreams, staring back at me with that same sturdy resoluteness that he always did. I imagined our life together, me taking care of things while he steered the ship. Oh, there was nothing I wouldn't do for my dear Arthur! So I did, devoting as much of my free time as I could to him. I had done this for quite some time when I realized that he never seemed to return the gesture. He was always solid and resolute but never caring. Never once did I see an expression of love on his face. Never once did he ask me what I was doing or how I felt, not that feelings should really matter. But it would have been nice, you know. Maybe, every once in a while it would be nice to listen to our feelings. After weeks had passed and nothing had changed I lost any positive direction toward him. His plainness had gotten to me, the lack of words had become annoying. His stillness, so inviting in the early days, had come to feel like a pall of judgment, as if he was watching my every move and waiting for me to make a mistake. It took me a while to finally let go, to move on, but one night I glanced over at him on the ledge and made the decision. A tiny tear fell from my left eye before I went to bed. I'd move on now. r/StoriesToThinkAbout

“Hey! Hey you!” I shout for the 5th time today. “You can’t keep jumping in my forge, it dampens the flames. You will also burn yourself.” My voice, full of anger, falls on deaf ears. “These poxy players and their glitches. How in the draugr am I suppose to get this order done if I can’t even heat up my blade.” My anger keeps boiling as I pick up a previously completed blade. I point it toward the player in a threatening manner. “If you don’t get out of my forge right now. I will call the guards and they can remove you. They will send you to the depths of the prison if you don’t move.” The threat still falling on death ears. Suddenly the player moves, sprinting off. “Finally, I can work in peace.” I sigh in relief. I bend down and grab a good chunk of mithril. “This should be perfect, it’s going to need to be much hotter though.” As I return to the upright position, my face drops. The player has returned. Here we go again. “Guards!”

Jod didn't move, he didn't blink, he just kept the figure in the corner of his eye right where they were. He could only just make out the dark magic orbiting their hand but so long as he didn't do anything stupid, everything was fine. He just had to last a short while longer on guard duty and he could- He froze as one of the other guards came out of the city gates and saw the figure Jod was watching, "Wha-" "This cold almost makes me wish I could quit." Jod spoke up loudly, catching the other guard's attention and subtly shaking his head. Unfortunately his words also caught the attention of the other figure, raising up and staring in their direction for a long moment before padding their way. Jod froze completely now, silently praying to the gods as what revealed themselves as a dark elf came close... and passed into the city. He gave a long, shuddering sigh of relief, recomposing himself as the other guard stared in confusion. The elf returned shortly and when she vanished down the path to the wilds Jod immediately whipped around to point at the other guard, hissing through grit teeth, "Shut. The fuck. Up!" "What did I do!?" "When you see her you don't fucking look at her, you don't fucking talk to her, you don't fucking blink if you can help it!" Jod began to pant as the anxiety finally got to him, and he could see the other guard's eyes widen in concern at Jod, and Jod took another few deep breaths."...what's your name son?" "Heimdyr and what in the hells is wrong with you?" "Heimdyr, listen to me: I'm saying all this for your own safety. You need to be as plain and uninteresting as possible if you want to survive out here." The younger man still seemed skeptical so Jod sighed and gestured Heimdyr to follow him to the spot the elven woman was hunched over. Heimdyr practically jumped when he saw a human body. "Alora alive, who-" "A bandit. Look, I'll explain everything later, just... just trust me." Heimdyr looked scared now, so Jod was at least happy he had some survival instinct. The elf appeared a few more times but thankfully the two of them made it to the end of their shift and Jod grabbed two drinks for them back at the barracks, guiding Heimdyr to a far off corner for them to sit. Jod did his best to organize his thoughts and with a deep breath, and equally deep drink, he started, "I... I didn't pay her much mind at first. She was some wanderer who was a bit eccentric, but friendly. Came into town talking to everyone, helping out, hells she even became a sworn sword to Lord Wyrmr for everything she did, but..." "But...?" "...she changed. At first it was just putting buckets on people's heads for some reason or ripping up flowerbeds for potion ingredients, but then..." Jod took another deep drink to steel himself, his mug almost empty now. "I saw her once. Outside the walls. I was on patrol when I saw her facing down bandits, she burned through almost the whole group with her magic before I got there. There was one left, begging for mercy, and... and she healed him. I thought she was being too kind for her own good but then she just... burned him. Over and over again; burn, heal, burn, heal. Eventually I just put an arrow through his neck to spare him, but as you saw that wasn't the first time she sharpened her skills that way." "Gods alive... th-the Lord, we have to tell Lord Wyrmr-" Heimdyr rose to stand but Jod quickly grabbed his arm and nearly tossed him back into his seat. "Tell him what? His best sworn sword, loved by everyone in the hold is going after bandits? At best we'd be laughing stocks, at worst we'd end up like *Jory.*" "Jory...? Wait, I heard about him. Didn't he leave the guard and become some sort of hero?" Jod gave a dark, bitter laugh and finished the dregs within his cup. "...He interested her. I guess because he always talked about wanting to be a hero, she just... spent every moment she could talking to him until he quit to join her. Almost every time I saw him he had some new piece of gear but I could see it in his eyes: he was just some soulless husk. He just kept saying the same things over and over or talking about how great she was no matter what I asked until he just... vanished." Jod sighed heavily, practically melting in hsi chair. It... It was good to finally have someone to vent to about this who wouldn't think he was insane. "I need you to understand: if you want to survive here, you need to be boring. Talk about the weather five times in a row, about how you'd like to be home with some mead, just... don't let her get her eyes on you." Jod left Heimdyr where he was as he moved to one of the bunks, and in the morning he was surprised and a bit impressed to see Heimdyr join him for guard duty. The dark elf was leaving and Heimdyr sneezed, freezing as the woman looked towards him. "...This cold makes me wish I could quit." Heimdyr echoed Jod's words from yesterday, and after a second the woman left to do something Jod couldn't see to the body from yesterday. He angled his head to Heimdyr and nodded, the two of them standing guard and praying they *could* quit someday...

The summoning circle flashed before our eyes. The ritual worked! Finally, a band of true heroes to defeat the Shadow King! "I told you I ain't gettin on no plane!" This, however, was not what we were expecting. "Um, B.A.? It doesn't look like we'll be taking a plane..." Frankly, I'm not sure what we *were* expecting, but it certainly wasn't four men dressed in strange clothes arguing about a "plane," whatever that is. "Just drink your milk, B.A." "Oh no, Hannibal, I'm not falling for that again." The skinny, light-haired one seemed to be the only one of them worried about having been summoned by a ritual, which I don't blame him for. The older one, the big one called him Hannibal, seemed to be their leader. He and the big one with an obscene amount of gold jewelry, apparently named B.A., seem too focused on the argument to have noticed they had been summoned. The last one, in a strange cloth hat and a coat that appears to be some kind of leather, seems to be more fascinated than anythin else. "Hey, guys? Hello? Am I the only one who sees something off here?" asked the skinny one. "Oh Face-man, you worry too much! We're in a land of magic and enchantment now!" the one in the hat excitedly answered. "Murdock, that's what I'm worried about." The men all carried strange metal objects. From a certain angle, they almost looked like crossbows, but without the bow part. Hannibal and B.A. were seated in the back of some kind of large black and red carriage, unlike any I had ever seen "What's that fool goin' on about now?" the big one asked, finally turning to the other members of the foursome. "That's what I've been trying to tell you!" the skinny one sighed, as he gestured to their surroundings. "We're not in L.A. anymore." I decided to speak up, since none of the other clerics were interjecting. "Greetings, great heroes! We, the people of Cariland, have summoned you here in our time of great need! We humb-" "Summoned?! What do you mean summoned?!" The big one shouted, storming up to me. Hannibal stepped up to him as I shrunk back. "Now, B.A., let him finish. I'm sure they had a good reason." He turned to me. "You were saying something about 'great need'?" After taking a moment to recover from B.A.'s outburst, I continued. "Yes, we humbly ask your assistance in defeating the Shadow King. For centuries he has harshly ruled over Cariland, forcing the ordinary folk to toil unendingly under the eyes of his servants. Our people are dying, and what few warriors and spellcasters we have cannot hope to stand against his demon army. Please, great heroes," I knelt before them, "grant us your aid so that we may be free of this tyranny." "You don't need to be so formal. Here, stand up." Hannibal offered me a hand. "Demons? Magic? Really Hannibal, we should be focusing on finding a way back home!" The skinny one seemed determined. "We're in the middle of a job, remember? The Venezuelan cartel thing? It's a lot of money you know." The one in the hat, Mudock, he called him, thankfully interrupted. "These people need our help, Face! Besides, I battle demons all the time! The V.A. nurses say so!" "I hate to say it, but Murdock's right," said B.A. "We have to help these people." "But what about the money!" "We have some," I interjected.

I grumble as I shuffle to the door "ALRIGHT! I'm coming for goodness sake. " The banging stops as whoever it is hears me yelling, and the door stills in its frame. I yank the door open to find the boy standing there. Eyes red rimmed, like he's been crying. I look at his clothes. Not cheap, that's for sure. "Ha! You! Found true love, did you? You little wart. Found some manners to go with it? Or are you here for revenge? It didn't go well for you last time, it won't this time either" I say with an aire of nonchalance, leaning on the door way, trying to make it not look like I'm scrambling maniacally on the shelf for the damned wand. Best land plans, and here I am, in the face of this snot, without the thing. "Please. Help me!" The young lad cries as he bursts into a fresh round of tears. I am extremely taken aback. "Help you? Why? Whatever's the matter? Did you not find your true love? That spell should absolutely have worked. What happened?" He falls into my arms, sobbing, clutching me. "SHE'S HORRIBLE!" He wails. I am genuinely astonished. This snot nosed little brat was an absolute horror, with not an ounce of decency or civility in him when I turned him into a frog. I didn't really think he'd find his true love. That wasn't part of the plan at all. "Alright. Alright. Stop snivelling. Come in. Tell me what's happened. " I try and haul him up and into the living room. He wipes at his face with the sleeves on those lovely clothes. I turn and snag the wand off the shelf and then guide him to sit on the sofa. I wait for him to gather himself, wondering what on earth is going on. "I am sorry for what happened. Before. Last time. I mean, I know you probably don't believe me, but I really truly am. I was angry at first. For so long. Or at least, it felt like a long time. I guess time is different when you're a frog. " He finally meets my eyes, and I give a sort of grim smile to show I understand and encourage him to carry on with a gesture "Yeah. I was angry. But then, I wasn't. I was sad. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to come and apologise but everything looks so different when you're that small and I wasn't sure I remembered the direction and didn't want to dry out if I wandered away, so I just stayed there. Then when I was just swimming around one day, I saw the ball" "The ball?" I query "Yes. The golden ball. It just sort of sank past me, so I grabbed it and pushed it back to the surface. I was hoping to play with it or something, I don't know, but when I came up, she was standing there. Starting at me and the ball. She reached out to grab it and spoke to me. She was silly, really. She said, "Thank you, Mr Frog," so I just said, "You're welcome." Not really thinking. I hadn't been able to talk. I thought I'd just end up saying ribbit, but the words came out. "You're welcome," and she was so surprised that she dropped the ball again. So I swam back down and retrieved it a second time. This time, I pushed it right up to her. I realised then she must have been the one. She must have been my true love like the spell said!" "Yes." I can't think of anything else to say. I didn't really expect that part to work if I was entirely honest. He carried on, "so we talked, and I explained about the spell, and she kissed me and POOF! I'm suddenly back to being me, and she drags me off to tell her father, THE KING, BY THE WAY! about this new suitable suitor she's found in a pond, and suddenly I'm being measured for clothes by her mothers tailor and they contacted my parents to check who I was and now we have to get married in 6 months and her father absolutely hates me, and she keeps wittering on about nonsense and she's horrible to everyone except me and her father and she reminds me of me before, well, you, and I can't take it and she's not my true love. She can't be, and if she is, I don't want to be her true love. It's all too much. Please change me back!" He wails the last word as he bursts into tears again. I sit back, pondering what to do. "You need to bring her here," I say to him, a bit loudly so he hears me over the noise of his wailing. He stops and looks at me "What? Why?" "Because the spell isn't wrong. It never is. She really is your true love, but if she reminds you of you before your little adventure, then maybe she needs the same lesson?" He takes a deep breath "Do you think that would work?" He asks hopefully "It worked for you, didn't it? Go back and ask her to go for a walk, or maybe even make it look like you're eloping together. Make it like an adventure. Bring her here. I'll turn you both and make the spell end when she's learned her lesson." He looks at me for a long minute. Peering into my eyes, trying to make up his mind "Ok. I'll go and get her" He jumps up and runs out of the house. I wait for a few minutes and then start to laugh. Once it starts, I can't stop it. I am cackling like the witch I am. I laugh until my sides hurt. Oh, this was too wonderful. After all the potions and powders and nonsense I'd gone through to try and force a true love for the brat. The universe had stepped in. Tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'll have a kingdom in my palm, along with the hearts of two royal brats. It's not the one I wanted, but it's a start. I look at the skull of my beloved, which rests on top of the dresser, watching all I do. "Soon, my love," I tell it. "Soon we shall have vengeance.

[WP] A few weeks after the curse was lifted, the prince finds he preferred life when he was a frog. Sneaking out of the castle one night he goes in search of the witch that first turned him, hoping she'll be able to do it again.

The witch in question did *not* live in a swamp, like most of his ilk would say, but instead a sweet little prairie. The river beside it had been drained of it's water years ago when his father had taken the throne, and the grass had become significantly less green than when he'd first visited all those years ago as a naive little boy hoping for some peace away from home. Originally, it was right beside that river he had been cursed. Even then, the only signs of water he had seen were the small puddles that formed from the downpour the day before, and a woman- *The Witch* -was staring at her reflection in one of them. Of course, as young as he was, Michael didn't know any better when he'd began talking to her. In fact, the two of them had a rather enjoyable conversation before he'd actually introduced himself. The witch, who was neither as cruel nor as ugly as his family claimed she was, seemed to know everything. She spoke to him as if he were her equal, and was more than happy to tell him that in a village, just a few days on horseback away, there was an old friends of hers who'd made their own potions shop. He enjoyed her stories of big birds that flew and snatched up prey just as big as a cow, and was very quick to enthrall him with beautiful depictions of the other nations traditions with her magic forming their shapes. Really, the entire thing was going well, and the witch seemed happy to have a company before the night had set and they both found that neither knew each other's names. Of course, Michael introduced himself, making sure to put some emphasis on his title as the prince just like dad had taught him. He was expecting the witch to rejoice or blush, like the other girls in the village, but instead she seemed to grow into a wild rage that made the clouds above grow and start thundering a sad sound. Even to this day, Michael couldn't remember what she'd said, just that she seemed to shout something towards the very heavens and Michael awoke the next day as a tiny ambphibian with odd coloring capable of doing the front crawl in the water. It was... an experience, certainly. At first, being a frog wasn't much of a problem; it would only appear twice a day, always when the clocks began a loud chime, and only for as long as those gongs sounded. Michael, whose schedule was almost entirely in his control, was able to spare plenty of time for the transformation to be done away from prying eyes. He'd mostly just lay around on his bum in that form, but sometimes he would wander the castle knowing only the help would be around. Going through crevices between the stone walls, climbing himself up the towers to marvel at his lands beauty, and sometimes even found himself staring at the direction the prairie was in wonder. These were all common pastimes of his as a frog. Slowly, however, the length of time he'd stay as an animal changed, became longer, until he'd had to constantly excuse him from lunch and be lost to everyone until the very next morning. Weeks of that passed, and soon Michael woke up as a frog who would *stay* that way for years until an interesting woman carried him to her home. She seemed rather odd to him at first; despite the obvious lack of funds, her face was constantly caked with makeup, and the clothes she wore seemed plenty out of leagues with her station. Amelia, for that was her name, often left at midnight frustrated and clutching a paper that smelled faintly of rosemary. Often, she would curse some names out into the sky, most names spoken were not recognizable to Michael except his da, who had apparently died just days ago. It was... well, it made Michael wonder if the man had managed to find himself another heir to inherit his throne, but the papers Amelia left on the floor after a few tantrums told him he hadn't. Again, just like before, this pattern continued on for days. Michael would be fed with random insects sneaking in. Amelia would come and go to work, then return with angrily flushed cheeks and furrowed brows. Finally, after a few more days, Amelia had huffed and looked at him. *Really* looked at him, enough so with a gaze that burnt through Michael's very soul. Before he could get a chance to jump away, however, Amelia had grabbed onto his slick body and gave him a hard kiss on the mouth before dropping him down to the floor and running to the restroom, no doubt to start scrubbing at her gums. She came back moments afterwards to Michael slowly growing into his age, and the sudden push in height made it difficult for him to stand nor properly judge the distances between most things. After that and plenty of complicated politics that was mostly manipulated by Amelia, she and Michael had a tiny wedding. The end, happily ever after, freedom in his grasp and finally away from having to hunt for his own food in the vast wilderness. . . . is what one would say, if Michael actually found himself *liking* this happily ever after of his. The entire thing was a sham, and clearly Amelia's attempt at getting a fortune and the lands that came with being the new kings wife. Now, he had to give it to her, she was very much good at the games she was playing, it's just that Michael wasn't very interested in those prizes. Hell, even before that prairie all those years ago, Michael found himself disliking the responsibilities of being the king very much. That lead him to now, dragging his feet through dry ground to try searching for the witch who'd cursed him all those years ago. There were trinkets of hers scattered, a trail that Michael hoped would lead him somewhere, and one he followed with a bit of desperation - Auntie Milly had visited with a very detailed plan on the next trend for the city's architects to follow. After just two days of his quiet presence in the court room and he already found himself wishing for death. In fact, if all went horribly wrong, that might *actually* happen! It would be a bit tragic, yes, but Michael also found it tragic how he couldn't extend his tongue to capture the delicious fruit flies he'd found in the bowels of the castle kitchens. .

[WP] A few weeks after the curse was lifted, the prince finds he preferred life when he was a frog. Sneaking out of the castle one night he goes in search of the witch that first turned him, hoping she'll be able to do it again.

The problem, Walter thought, was that the witch had never set a time limit. He'd been young when he insulted her, a spoiled little brat spitting on an old woman. How she could do something to someone so young, he did not know—children are often little brats, especially young princes. He knew this to be true. To turn a child into a *frog*, and with such a specific stipulation, though, was cruel. He had grown up as a frog, and come into his own as one. The knowledge of running a kingdom seemed a distant memory, and when a princess finally came along that could free him from his curse, he didn't spare a thought toward his current life, remembering the splendors of his royal hall, the glittering gems of his mother's crown, all of the luxuries that coming with being a prince among men. Running a kingdom was a very old skill, but he'd have to blow away the dust and cobwebs and put his mind to work. As promised, he offered Anna a place at his side as queen. She blinked, and gave a tiny smile at the offer. "Walter, I'm sorry, but... I have never heard of the kingdom you speak of. Perhaps your time as a frog has addled your mind?" Resting a hand on his arm, she said he was welcome to stay here and become the king of *her* lands, if so desired, though it sounded like the kingdom he belonged to was much grander. Perhaps he should look at a few maps? He did. And then he spoke to the librarians, insulted at how these maps must obsiovusly be wrong, until finally a man with a beard down to his stomach suggested he speak to a historian. The kingdom of Sauer had not existed for about 200 years. The last king, Hugo Sauer, had gone mad with grief when his only son disappeared and died 6 months after Walter Sauer vanished. The queen had ruled as best she could, but it was not long before the neighboring kingdoms started to enclose their borders. The legends say the queen vanished, and with no one left to rule, it was not long at all before the royal family of Sauer was gone, and with it, the kingdom. The people called it a small mercy that the king had died before his wife disappeared, just like his son had. Walter had been a frog for two centuries. Never aging, never dying. Stuck, in a pond, in a different kingdom. Every last person he knew was dead. He'd known his friends would be older, would maybe not recognize him as a grown-man, but he had dreamed of telling his cousins of his time as a frog, of sparring with his father, of telling his mother of all he had learned about flowers and plants. He lasted a week with Anna. It was not her fault, not at all—she was not the kindest princess he had known, but she cared for her people, and it was not like he was kind either. Her father was a bit disgruntled at having a so-called prince with no kingdom set to marry his daughter, but his wife comforted him with the fact he had other sons to marry for political advantages. The castle's staff were welcoming enough. The people of Meyer were hard-working, and kind, and did not mind an addition to the royal court. It was much like home, but it was not, and therein lay the problem. Who would give a child such a terrible curse? Who would force them to live as a frog for so long only to return to the human realms and find the world they knew was gone? Witches lived for a long time, Walter knew. There was a good chance she lived yet. And if not, he could find another witch, and beg them to turn him into a frog, and let him age this time.

**Making Amends** Dr. Neutron gazed out the barred window of the small therapist's office inside Star City Minimum Security Penitentiary, he never laid on the chaise lounge, he only came to the sessions because of a court order. He despised them, despised the inane questions asked by the second rate shrink. His office wall covered in diplomas from universities Dr. Neutron wouldn't even classify as 'safety schools'. He'd pestered him with this question every session, every week, probing for answers far above his pay grade. Neutron strolled over to the shrink's small desk, upon sat it a Newton's cradle, Neutron lifted the stainless steel ball on one end and swung it lightly, as it smashed against the next ball the far one three balls down flew into the air. Rhythmic clacking filled the air. Neutron leaned against the desk, removed his glasses and stared down the second rate shrink sitting in his oversized and overpriced leather chair. "Do you know how this thing works?" Neutron asked the shrink whom he assumed was at least fifteen years his junior. "Physics?" Neutron sighed. "In a broad sense you are correct. More specifically it follows the laws of conservation of momentum and energy. Immutable laws of the universe demonstrated in an elegant manner. Do you know who discovered these laws?" The shrink nodded. "Isaac Newton." "Correct. Maybe these diplomas are real after all. Do you know how the world came to be as it is now? People running around with powers that appear almost magical in nature?" Neutron asked coyly. "Connor Chaos released a time delayed virus that rewrites people's genetic code." Neutron nodded somberly. "It also manipulates the basic elements that compose your body on a subatomic level, but that discussion would be meaningless to have with a layman such as yourself. That was not Connor Chao's work.......it was mine." The shrink tried to interject, Neutron's hand shot up to silence him. "You're paid to listen, not talk. Listen closely. When I was a young man in graduate school I unlocked the hidden mysteries of our genes, the limitless potential that lies within them. I was laughed at during my dissertation defense. They mocked me, ridiculed me, denied my genius. So I did what all good scientists do, I tested my hypothesis on myself. My hypothesis was correct, I became something.....different. I'd coded my genes to, in essence, overclock my grey matter, learned how to manipulate matter on a subatomic level. With that power I was going to change the world, change our understanding of it, advance science far beyond our current means. There was an accident at my modest laboratory one day, all I remember is the searing heat and the blinding flash, then waking up in the hospital years later. He tried to kill me, and he stole my research. He perverted it for his own twisted means. My work was never meant to be used in such a way, it was meant for a select few, those with the wisdom to handle it, not every Jack and Jane on the street. Now there's an army of them, and only one of me. Sun Tzu once wrote that attacking the enemy is an admission of defeat. Alliances and strategies are more vital things to target in a campaign. The world will one day belong to those who've been affected by my work. I cannot allow that to happen, and I've found fear is the best motivator. I'm not after world domination, merely cleaning up my mess so that I can take my rightful place next to Sir Newton in the textbooks. Can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs." The shrink furiously wrote in his notebook, taking his eyes off Dr. Neutron, exactly what he wanted. Shrink didn't notice the clacking had stopped. He dropped his pen when he felt sharp cold steel against his neck. Neutron pressed the knife he'd fashioned from the Newton's Cradle hard against the shrink's jugular. "You got your answer. I've grown bored of attending these sessions, so I will no longer be attending." Neutron tapped the knife a few times on the shrink's neck. "Just because I am not a patient anymore doesn't mean you can break doctor-patient confidentiality, remember that. Good day doctor, and goodbye." \----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for reading.

When I rolled my eyes it was meant to be an expression of sarcasm. A non vocal way for me to say *Right now, I think you are an idiot*. So when the lady at the store register, apathetic as a human can be, said: "This box is already opened, you can't return it.", well she deserved an eye roll as much as any human I'd ever met. But when I did, what followed was a moment of almost audible fear as I locked eyes with something else. Something hidden deep within my brain. A small, blueish, and hideous thing, it's clawed hands gripping a series of tiny levers; wearing nothing but a stained tank top, its bubbled gut filling it out nicely. Slowly it pulled it's hands off of the levers, eyes locked with mine and refusing to look away. "I bet-" the gremlin started to stand up on its spindly legs. "I bet you blink first." "Where are we...what are you?!" I yelled, the words coming from my mouth outside rather than the space me and the creature occupied. Outside I could hear the cashiers muffled voice reply with the same level of apathy. *Take your time, not like there's a line behind you or anything.* "Don't worry, there's no line." The gremlin said. "Can you believe her? Total asshole right?" "I uh...yes?"I questioned. "I mean yes, yeah she is." I was still uncertain of my words. The Gremlin placed a bony hand on one of the many fleshy levers before him and pushed it forward. Outside I could feel my body moving suddenly, turning to the right and stepping forward a few clunky steps. "There, I moved us." He continued: "Why would you even return something unpoened anyways?" "I know. Doesn't make any sense right? Hey uh...where are we?" I tried to speed along the conversation. "You don't recognize it? We're in your mind of course. I'm just an occupant...*the* occupant." I blinked in disbelief, staring at the only place there was to stare. At the pint sized little blue monster that claimed to have been living in my head for god knows how longz helping pilot me. He smiled a sudden and crooked smile. "You blinked, I win!" He went to jump up but hit his head on the roof of my skull instead, sending a dull pain up through my head. "Oops. Anyways it seems that your eyes are rolling back. If I was you, and I sort of am, I would tell her off. Good luck!" My eyes rolled back and I was left staring behind an empty counter. No line. No mean lady from before. No gremlin. Just me and a single bell with a tag reading: ding for service. As I turned to pick up my box and leave my body refused. Instead my arm shot out uncontrollably and slammed down onto the bell over and over, harder with each ding "Ok, ok, enough!" An annoyed voice yelled from the back of the building, followed by a woman stomping out. "You again? I told you-" Before she could finish a voice not my own shot out from my mouth, raspy, like nails scraping along a chalkboard. "Listen you walnut. If you don't take this box and give me back my money I'll return it down your throat. Deal?" Her eyes grew wide and she muttered the only word it seemed she could: "I uhm. Yeah sure." And as the register opened and she took my box back in her hands I could feel my head pounding. Not from the stress of my day, or from the confusion due to what I had just experienced, but rather from what I knew to be the little blue man jumping around inside of my head in triumph.

“Oh thank you for coming, I don’t know what to do!” “It’s ok Ma’am, we’re here to handle it.” Sam smiled reassuringly at the frantic mother “Can you tell me exactly what happened?” The lead mechanic asked as he followed Mrs Simmons up the stairs of the old house. “Well, I told Timothy to clean his room. I went down to the basement to get the laundry out of the dryer, and when I came upstairs to put it in his room…t…that's when I saw this!” They came to the top of the stairs, and at the end of the hallway, where a 7 year olds bedroom door should be, was a gleaming portal. “Hmm..” Sam peered at it then looked over his shoulder at his apprentice “what do you think Ralph?” “I think it’s a number 3 type dimensional gateway.” he replied, looking down at his laptop. “W..what does that mean?” Mrs Simmons asked nervously. “Well a type 3 is just a pocket dimension. Could be worse, could be a type 4. Those are your alternate timeline portals-your son could be in there riding dinosaurs or something.” “Or being eaten by em” Ralph muttered under his breath. “Or that.” Sam put the tool box down and kneeled down, opening the lid. Pulling out a Fluke Multi-versal Meter he connected the leads and switched it on. “Looks like you’re lucky though, it’s just a standard pocket dimension. This one’s about three square meters it seems. Plenty big enough, he’s been missing for how long?” “Two hours now..” Sam nodded “he’ll be fine then, not detecting anything weird on the other side, it’s not full of grape jam or lava or anything.” He looked over his shoulder at his apprentice “What do you think Ralph?” The thin tech rubbed his chin. “Number 512 speedball maybe?” “That might work,” Sam nodded “but we’re here for a kid.” “Oh! Yeah!” Ralph opened his own tool kit and pulled out a box of 64 Crayons. “What’s his favorite color?” he asked. “Uhm…blue, no yellow.” Mrs Simmons sobbed. “You need to be sure ma’am, we need to make sure we rescue the right kid. The company is not liable if we retrieve your son from an alternate dimension due to miscommunication.” Sam just shook his head “easier way to do it, this backpack here, is it his?” At the mother’s nod Sam opened it up and looked through the school supplies “most worn down one is Midnight blue.” “Right boss.” Ralph went searching through his box of crayons as Sam pulled a roll of duct tape from his bag. “Ok, first we gotta seal the portal-”he began “But if you do that, Timmy is still in there!” “I know” Sam replied “But if we don’t seal this first one before opening a new one, it could cause a lot of havoc with the space time continuum. Two portals within a few meters of each other, could cause an anvil storm or a portable hole generator..those would really ruin your day.” “I’m already working on the new door Mrs Simmons”. Ralph had found the crayon, and began drawing a large rectangle on the wall, as Sam quickly taped up the glowing portal. “There we go.” Ralph admired his handiwork then drawing a door knob on one side of the door, he reached for it and turned it. As the wall swung open, there was a draconic roar, and a jet of fire came shooting out of the open doorway. “SHIT!” Sam jumped up and slammed it closed, wiping the doorknob off of the door. Ralph was slightly singed, but other than that, “Sorry man, I had it on the wrong side.” He quickly drew the knob on the other side of the door, which burst open, a very scared seven year old leaping into his mothers embrace. Mrs Simmons wept. “Oh thank you both, how can I ever repay you?” Sam just smiled “you don’t have to ma’am, it’s part of your maintenance contact with Acme Quantum Mechanics Service. We’re glad to be of help.”

I just had sex with my wife and I feel more depressed and empty than ever. Sarah was half asleep on her stomach for the entire ordeal, whispering "was that good baby" after I came. She promptly fell asleep. It was 1am, the kids were asleep in their own rooms and we had just spent the evening watching netflix before going to bed. As I laid there I thought about my past life...my old heartthrob that burned me so bad that I still think about her all these years later. I thought getting married and having kids would have erased that pain. I guess I hate the fact that I'll never hurt her the way she hurt me. I think about the direction my life took with my career. My resentments towards people who told me to make a career in something I dislike. I resent the need to stay in this career in order to make money to support my family. We've been married for 10 years. About 4 years ago I began to fantasize about leaving my family. Cutting all ties and just moving somewhere to pursue what I always should have been pursuing in life...music, acting...art! Anything other than what I am doing! I don't have to move far away either. Just far enough away to be out Sarahs spere of influence. I also resent having kids. They are another reason that I can't pursue what I want in life. Taking up all my time and energy. Sometimes it's hard to hide my irritation with them. The constant grind that started 2 years after we married hasn't let up since. Other parents say they love they're kids and would do anything for them. I love them too but I hate them for stealing my freedom away. My urge to alter my mind prompted me to go to a bar and have a few drinks in the company of strangers. When I showed up there was hardly a soul here just a couple playing pool and the bartender. I sat at the bar, smiled at the bartender and ordered a Bacardi and soda. We chit chatted for a moment and then he carried on with his tasks of cleaning and lining glasses and cutting up garnishments for the evenings rush. By my 3rd Bacardi and Soda and I was feeling toasty and the infomercial on the bar TV was fascinating. A unkept individual walked through the door and sat right next to me smiling. He looked like hell and obviously hadn't showered in a month at least. I showed obvious irritation toward him but I refused to move over. The bartender didn't think it was inappropriate for him to be up in my face so I just accepted the situation. After another drink I relaxed again. The man hardly talked to me and I to him. I just kept thinking about how much he stank. The man spoke about his special powers which he learned from his grandmother who was from the Old Country and how he can bless and curse people. This made me a little afraid. He said I could realize my deepest desires by coming to his homeless encampment and taking part in a shrine ritual. I was pretty drunk by this point so doing anything sounded rather exciting. The bartender flashed an eyebrow in my direction as if to say, "you sure you want to go with this guy?"I followed this gentleman outside and onto a bike trail which ran behind the bar. We walked for around 20 minutes. I started to sober up in the cold air and began regretting ever embarking on this adventure. Finally we walked off the bike trail into a hidden grove of tangerine trees. On one edge there was his tent, a fire pit in the middle and on the opposite edge there was a shrine. It was a shrine with Catholic icongraphy and candles lit about. As seemingly innocent as this looked I began to regret ever following this gentleman out here. It felt otherworldly. Like I didn't just walk off the biketrail a mile from the bar but that I was transported to another time and country. He noticed my apprehension and said, "we'll make this quick". He told me to kneel at the alter and pray to the Holy Mother. I did just this wanting the whole thing to be done with. I began to miss my sweet wife, kids and hearth. The man placed his fingers on my temple and began chanting a gutteral Latin. Chants that could never have been associated with the Catholic Church not even from an early age. At this moment I passed out. I woke up this morning hungover and alarmed. I wasn't lying in my bed. In fact I never made it back to the bar because I was still in the grove. I was lying in an odor ridden tent and apparently I took off all my clothes and put on the homeless mans. My face felt funny and my emotions were different. Like I was running on different hardware with the same software. I waded out of the tangerine grove and onto the biketrail where I was met with scowls by morning trekers. I walked into a grocery store bathroom and upon looking into the mirror I made the horrible discovery that I was now the homeless man!

[WP] Turns out, much like crabs, the humanoid form is an evolutionary plateau for higher intelligence creatures across the universe (with variation of course). This has lead to some interesting first-encounters.

[WP] Humans are insufferable, due to how high they value entertainment, it means that they feel the need to point out anything that seems similar to their viewed media. The first time they say you look like one of their fictional creatures, it's bearable, but just about every human does nowadays.

[WP] In a magical arena of mages and spirits, a modern student is told he must fight wielding the powers of his ancestors, little do they know about Darwin’s theory of evolution

"Here, in the Arena, all are equal." The voice had said, its tone allowing no dissent. "All have been given the collective strength and intellect of their ancestors, and all will face each other in a brawl to decide the fates of their worlds. The faster you are eliminated, the lower in the hierarchy your world will place." We'd barely had any time to react, before we were thrust out into the open air. All around us, beings made of swirling light watched expectantly from seats far beyond we could reach. I looked around, seeing an innumerable sea of bodies in my vision, wielding different weapons. Some held sticks, some bows that hummed with life and energy, or swords that swirled with cosmic light. *Some* had glowing machinery that looked suspiciously like futuristic sci-fi plasma rifles. And some, like me, held stranger things in their grasp. "This is a battle of ideology. Represented in each seat is the Chief Deity of your world, and in your hands are the principles they shaped their worlds around." I looked down at the piece of metal in my hands. It was perfectly smooth in my grasp, but I noticed that inside of it, millions of creatures were going through eons of changes in the span of a mere moment. Basic proteins began to meld together to form bacteria, which morphed into every shape of dinosaur possible, which split further into the creatures I was used to seeing. Which again split even further, taking strange, alien shapes I couldn't comprehend. Everyone looked up, as the strange voice began speaking again. "Champions of your worlds! Show us the strength of your Deities! Fight, struggle, survive! Let us commence the battle to decide the fate of all worlds!" Immediately, everything devolved into chaos. Beams of light were thrown around into the haptic melee, explosions that rocked the very foundations of the arena we were in. I looked around wildly as information flooded into my brain. Hundreds of millions of years of knowledge, crammed into my mind in the span of a second. I knew what my item did. And frankly, if no one else shared something similar, it just wasn't fair. I saw a humanoid creature about a few meters in front of me with skin that cracked and ran with molten rock snort with derision at the item in my hands. It raised a fist, a miniature volcano in its hand, and I felt the air around my body begin to grow hot. Impossibly so, melting my skin away and boiling the blood in my veins as lava began to pour out around me. Other people caught in my vicinity began to drown in it, their items melting along with them as the surface of their bodies lit aflame. Without even being able to mutter a scream, they were consumed by the molten rock. But my body was already changing. My blood turned into something else entirely, my skin layering itself with scales as I felt my muscles surge with strength. I was now far larger than I had been before, and as I licked my lips I realized my tongue was thinner, and barbed. It cleared away the remnants of drying rock with ease. The lava around me now felt pleasant to the touch, and I swam through it in only moments before snapping my jaws around the humanoid's head, my jagged teeth slicing through its form smoothly. As I looked around, I noticed what looked like a stone golem with limbs raise a rifle in my direction. A green ray of light washed over me, my skin bulging with cancerous tumors. But I was already adapting, evolving past it. I grew smaller, my limbs elongating as my skin turned into some kind of flowing metal. I was now liquid, completely impervious to the radiation washing over me. I wrapped metallic tentacles around this creature, my very touch corroding away its form, until it melted into my form and joined the metal. Again and again I changed, as more and more challengers approached. Again and again I triumphed, my form ever-shifting, evolving to adapt to any form of attack these creatures had. Until, eventually, they began to run away, wisely choosing to evacuate any section of the Arena I was in to search for easier targets. I even adapted to this, my form expanding and extending across the Arena like a sea, until I'd swallowed and isolated each person, dissolving them in little stomachs filled with acid that melted them down to base components. I was more than the self I was before. I was everything that represented Earth, every form of life that had ever evolved and every form of life that *would* eventually evolve, constantly changing to suit my needs. Finally, it is only me and the glowing masses of swirling cosmic light in their seats. They recoil in horror, but again, I have grown past anything they can contain. "C...Congratulations, Tetra! Your Ideology of 'Evolution' has won!" The voice stutters over itself, rightfully so. Because as it speaks, Tetra begins to laugh, and I do so as well. As I condense in on myself, my atoms becoming incomprehensibly dense, the cosmic lights begin to scream. "Wait! Tetra, you've won! Your world is ranked first, there is no nee-" I swallow the speaker first, my size growing. The masses of light scramble over each other, but I continue to grow, swallowing them one by one. Eventually, every atom collapses, implodes on itself to pull others towards it to stave off its hunger. And after trillions of years of evolution in mere moments, my hunger is unending.

[WP] "I'm swear, it's just toothpaste." "Toothpaste isn't supposed to explode!"

"Well, that's might judgemental of you. Who are you to tell toothpaste what to do?" Silas throws his hands up in the air. "What the fuck Anna? Of course it can't explode, it goes in your fucking mouth!" Anna's mouth opens to reply. Silas' eyebrow raises, and she rethinks what she was about to say. Their bodies begin to relax and she quickly snaps back into action. "It's not like exploding disqualifies it as toothpaste, right?" He stares at her. "I mean, I didn't make a toothbrick or something. It's still a paste." She points at the substance, the *toothpaste* as it were. "The shape is not the issue here." "It's not so much shape as..." Silas interrupts her. "I don't care if it's called shape or state of matter or whatever, Anna, that's not the point." "What would it be, though?" "What would what be?" His voice is losing strength. His shoulder are lower than they have ever been before in his life. "The... whatever. The difference between a tooth*paste* and a tooth*brick* or a tooth*salve*. How do you define that quality?" "I guess... I guess you'd call it the shape, right? That's why I said it." "No, there has to be a real name for it. Scientists can't be talking about the *shape* of stuff. It's like mayo!" Her face lights up. "Mayo?" "Yeah, yeah, it's not a liquid. It's a... an emulsion, I think it's called." "So?" "*So*" now she seems irritated. And to be fair, it's not that hard to grasp. The question is rather simple, even if the answer is evading both of them at the moment. "So, what do you call that quality? The quality of being a solution, or an emulsion, or a whatever." "Ok, fair enough" He sits down. Holding his head between his hands, Silas has to admit he is being unreasonable. "You did make paste. That much is true." "Thank you!" "But C4 is not toothpaste!" "And this is not C4, so I don't see your point." With elegance, Anna refutes another baseless, nonsensical argument thrown her way. "Then what is it? And don't you dare say toothpaste!" "That's what it is, Silas. I'm not sure what you'd expect me to say here." "It doesn't clean your teeth." He replies, smug. "Have you tried it yet?" She retorts back, smugger. "It would blow my head off." Is all the coward has to say. "And I'm not disputing *that*." They both stare at the exploded, charred mannequin head on the floor. The silence drags for an eternity. Shivering, both look back at each other. "I'm just saying, we don't *know* if it cleans teeth yet." "You know what, Anna? I don't care what it is. You are a hairdresser. You shouldn't be trying to invent toothpaste anyway. You are fired."

[WP] "I'm swear, it's just toothpaste." "Toothpaste isn't supposed to explode!"

“Well, no, but it is…” the scientist gestures grandly over the splattered blue paste before him “…*diet* toothpaste.” “Hm. Diet toothpaste?” “Yes!” He sputters, unable to hide his anticipation through his hazmat helmet. “Big Chompers Original Toothpaste, now packed with **explosive** flavor guaranteed to curb the worst of your cravings.” He nods thoughtfully to himself and crosses his arms across his chest, a Rolex the price of a single family home peeking out from his sleeve. “Tell me more.” The scientist is momentarily stunned by his boss’s intrigue, but doesn’t hesitate to hustle his new invention. “Have you ever brushed your teeth, only to feel defeated knowing you’d have to brush them again after eating fattening, sugary foods?” “The law of diminishing returns,” he waves his hand impatiently, “sure, go on.” The scientist thrusts a tube of toothpaste into the air, “Beef stew! Filet mignon! Chicken hibachi!” He waves it around triumphantly. “Big Chompers Original Toothpaste, the same brand Americans have trusted for over 50 years, now here to help you get that body beach-party ready!” The toothpaste explodes, releasing a puff of broccoli and cheese smell. Blue specks flecked across the man’s Rolex. “Are there vegan options?” “Absolutely.” “We’ll put it through trial.”
