The child grows up as a mortal on earth, with only minor powers." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mr. Langton walks into class frazzled and late as usual. Aaron walks in right behind him and they collide. Mr. Langton’s eyes go red as Aaron apologizes profusely. He takes his normal seat between his friends Cameron and California. Cameron looks at him puzzled as Aaron flashes a smile. Mr. Langton walks to his desk and begins to flip through his bag. He begins to sigh loudly and covers his eyes in anger. \n\n“Is there something wrong Professor Langton?” Aaron asks innocently.\n\nMr. Langton groans, “I have misplaced the tests that you were scheduled to take today. Because I have no other lesson plan ready- Class is cancelled. Be prepared to take the exam next class!” he shouts as the room begins to clear out. \n\nCalifornia gapes in awe at Aaron and he files out quickly with the rest of the students. California, Cameron, and Aaron sit at their usual picnic table in front of the lecture hall. \n\nAaron smiles and says, “Hey guys! Look what I found!” He pulls the tests out from his bag and gives one to each of his friends. \n\nCameron laughs, “How did you snatch that?” \n\nAaron shakes his head impressed with himself and says, “It’s a talent,” \n\nCalifornia buries her face in her hands, “You are going to get expelled someday!” she says in a worried tone.\n\nAaron chuckles and says, “Nah, I’ll be fine.”\n\nCameron high fives Aaron ignoring California’s foul mood. \n\nAaron pats California’s head and begins to tease, “Come on girl! You’re being Hermione!” \n\nCalifornia laughs and says, “You wish you were Harry Potter! You’re more like Neville Longbottom!”\n\nAaron coughs and replies, “Have you seen Neville lately? I’m not saying he’s a babe magnet but he’s got more girls than Rupert Grint or Daniel Radcliffe.” \n\nCameron groans and shouts, “Potter nerds! Shut it! Cali, Aaron are you coming this weekend to the peak?”\n\nCalifornia sighs, “Eww, why are you going there? I’m going home, Aaron should go home too. When was the last time you visited your parents Aaron? You haven’t gone home once this year.”\n\nAaron nods, “I’m not going to the peak and I’m not going home; I’ve got homework.” \n\nBoth Cameron and California look at Aaron suspiciously and Cameron asks, “Since when do you do work?”\n\nAaron chuckles, “I’ve got work for my required classes. I can’t fail them.” \n\nCameron nods and California grabs Aaron’s hand, “Are you going to be okay all by yourself?” she asks softly.\n\nHe pulls his hand back quickly and smiles, “Yes, I’ll be fine. It’s just going to be a quiet weekend.” \n\nHe grabs his backpack and waves goodbye to his friends. He heads to his room and throws his backpack on the bed frustrated. He couldn’t go home because he had been exiled by his parents. They sent messages every few months but he was never allowed to speak to them on his terms or visit. It was the price of being the bastard child of Mount Olympus. He hated living on campus and wished he could go to the peak desperately but knew that he couldn’t. The peak was some type of cliff that people visited and would party on. It was rumored that it was watched over by party gods and if a party was to their liking, more wine would appear throughout the night. \n\nEven though he doubted it was true, he knew that if he was discovered, he would be killed instantly and he didn’t want to take that chance. He puts on his headphones and listens to music to drown out the loneliness and sketches California on his drawing pad. She was beautiful and he liked her but knowing his heritage, he felt it was too risky to make a move. He decided that friendship would be their limit and his crush would remain a secret for all of eternity. He draws for hours perfecting every detail as rain drops begin to race down the window. His ipod dies and so he puts it on the charger and gets out colored pencils. As he begins to color his masterpiece, lightning strikes and he nearly jumps out of skin. \n\nHe closes the window and the blinds hoping he would be able to ignore it. Although the window was now closed, the thunder seemed to only get louder. Aaron breathes heavily and covers his ears; it was an abnormal and irrational fear for any normal person but Aaron wasn’t the most normal person on Earth. Every time lightning strikes, he imagines a violent and gory battle waging on the triumphant Mount Olympus. He imagines his intelligent and strong father being thrown from his horse and being attacked mercilessly. He imagines his mother screaming in agony for help surrounded by warriors. His parents were dying and he was powerless! \n\nHe prays to Zeus for protection; he prayed to Zeus ever since he was a child figuring that since he was already Chief God, he would already know of his existence and so there was nothing to fear. He repeats the mantra his adoptive parents taught him wishing that he had someone to call. His adoptive parents had cut him off at eighteen in order to provide a better standard of life for their natural kids. While he didn’t resent them, he decided to cut off contact for a clean break. \n\nAaron hyperventilates and sees the rain beginning to let up. He coughs and wipes his eyes before picking up his sketch pad. He uses a yellow colored pencil for California’s soft blonde hair. Just thinking of her made him feel a little less lonely. \n\nA beautiful Goddess stares down on the Earth miserably grasping the blanket she wrapped her baby boy in when he was first born. \n\nA thin and clever God smiles sorrowfully at his former love, “Please don’t cry, you know the rain and thunder scares him,” he says softly. \n\nThe Goddess pushes her long and luscious hair back and takes a deep breath, “I miss him so much,” she whispers. \n\nThe God nods, “He found a girl with the beauty of a goddess. She may be able to heal his heart,” he says.\n\nThe Goddess looks up attentively and asks, “What is her name?” \n\nThe God smiles and makes a sketch of her face appear in the mirror. The Goddess gasps at the young girl’s incredible beauty. \n\nThe God answers, “California.” \n" } ]

Craisins gave him a gentle nudge before inching off to the other side of the cabinet. \"So, uh, how many people are out there?\"\n\n\"Probably a dozen,\"Sal's Gourmet Chips replied with a wave of her corner. \"It's probably the biggest dinner party we've ever had!\"\n\n\"Really?\"KitKat asked awkwardly. \"Wow, maybe they'll even bring ME out.\"\n\n\"Oh no, it's an adult dinner party,\"Sal's Gourmet Chips said.

She didn't mean to sound condescending. \"And you're such a classic!\"\n\n\"I AM a classic,\"KitKat said a little defensively. Craisins must've been pulling his wrapper, no way was Chips into him.\n\nYet somehow, she was. Over the past few weeks, even before her bag was even opened, she listened carefully to everything he said from up above her, on the top shelf. He noticed things she didn't, like when someone in the family was on a diet. And he was terribly charming when he felt comfortable enough to make jokes. And she always had been attracted to chocolate. Despite her inability to keep her corners out of her mouth, she was not only falling, but falling hard. \n\nNow that she was finally on the top shelf with him, this was her big chance. Yet she just couldn't seem to say the right things. How could she let him know how she felt? Was it crazy for a bag of Sal's Gourmet Potato Chips With Rosemary, Parmesan and Truffle Oil to be in love with a KitKat?\n\nShe realized she had been staring at him. And that he was staring back.\n\nSal's Gourmet Chips was the first to turn her eyes away, smothering any hope of a mutual attraction with a long mental list of all the reasons he couldn't possibly ever want her. But when she looked back up again, she found that his gaze had not waivered.\n\n\"I...I bet you tasted awesome out there,\"he said. \n\nIt was a stupid thing to say, but somehow, to her, in that moment, it seemed like the greatest compliment she had ever received. \"Thanks,\"she said genuinely. \"I don't suppose you'd like to, um, sit out on the counter with me sometime?\"\n\n\"Why not?\"He grinned." } ]

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Research: How and why do prompts help us?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "There's really no way to define, objectively, what makes a good or bad prompt. That sort of thing is going to be different to each and every writer; what one writer couldn't make a bedtime story out of, another might be able to weave a Homeric epic. Writers and their strengths are going to vary tremendously, and for those of us looking to maintain or even improve our skill with the written word, prompts act as the flint and stone to help get the fire going.\n\nThat said, my personal idea of a good prompt? A solid concept is the most concise way I can put it; an idea that - while fully realized - is only exactly that. Very little about setting or characters or where the prompter implies the story *should* go, but the general idea behind the prompt itself illustrated clearly and explicitly enough so that writers know exactly what's being asked of them regardless. It's hard to strike that balance in a prompt, mostly because the line between not enough information and too much information is a very blurred line indeed. Generally speaking; the *less* a writer has on the specifics of a situation and the more a writer has on the *gist* of a situation, the better the story will turn out. Bad prompts generally go too far in the opposite directions. Either the idea is too nebulous to really latch onto or the prompt is so very specific that it's clear what the prompter is looking for without any real input from the writers.\n\nNow, why do prompts help us? Some of us like to write in a particular genre or to write characters with such and such traits (I'm a repeat offender of this, just about every NaNoWriMo protagonist of mine has just been me in some form or another) and dislike deviating from those patterns. But there's so much more to our individual abilities and imaginations that can be unlocked. A prompt helps writers get out of those comfort zones. A *good* prompt will intrigue the writer enough to say \"Yeah, sure, what the hell?\"." } ]

I would always ask why but my mum just told me that little girls needn't worry about such things. My dad would ask why I wanted to go down into the darkness anyway. Well, at first I didn't care for the basement but then I wasn't allowed in and a few weeks after being banned from entry, a lock was put on the door. What were they hiding? \n\nWhen I was around seven, I tried to get inside. I destroyed my dad's credit card trying to slide it through the lock and several of my mum's hair clips became bent so I could pick the lock. When I was around seven, I learned that picking locks is considerably hard and if caught, you will be grounded for a month with no TV. Although that month of being grounded meant that I was with either mum or dad most of the time so I found out the location of the basement key. A wooden box with a cross on it. There was also a bible inside which was strange because we were far from religious. \n\nAfter the month, my parents were still on high alert and one seemed to be guarding the basment every second of the day. If I even glanced at the door, I was scolded and put to bed. Now even though they had the key to the basement, I had never seen my mum or dad enter or exit it. So maybe they were scared and just trying to protect me. Maybe that's why they had the bible. Mum always spoke of her grandmother praying if the family was in danger or fear was in the family. \n\nBecause of these reasonings and the fact that seven year old me missed The Powerpuff Girls, I stopped trying to get in the basement or even asking about it. Neither of the ever said anything but I could tell they were thankful that I had got over my silly obsession. After all, if there was something terrifying down there then a wooden door and a lock wouldn't hold it, would it? And if it could, wouldn't the creature have tried to talk someone into freeing it? \n\nOne night, I was woken up by some strange sounds. It sounded like wails so I walked to my parents' room. It was empty. The wails soon turned to words. It was a man's voice- my dad's. I headed downstairs and the basement door was open. Open. I could hear my dad more clearly. He was chanting. I hear chanting in the basement I thought and from the little scary films I had seen, I knew that meant: exorcism. It all made sense- me not being allowed in, the unanswered questions, the bible, the guarding of the door. \n\nI knew I shouldn't but I walked into the basement. I needed to see what my dad was saving the family from. I tiptoed down and stood at the foot of the stairs. There was a light swinging causing shadows to dance around the walls as if they were taunting me and trying to pull me into evil.

I would like your most brutal, honest thoughts." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I'm going to start off by saying that this isn't the type of stuff I usually like to read. Keep that in mind with my critique.\n\nI am quite a fan of the tone of the work. It's dark, it's sharp, it's dry. It doesn't pull any punches. I enjoyed the pacing as well. You kept me enjoying the pace of the story through the rants, the dialogues, descriptions, etc. I think a lot of this comes back to the tone and voice of the work. When the narration is as caustic as it is, you are kind of excited to see where it goes next.\n\nGoing through the story there are a few quality of life things that need to be addressed to keep coherence. The main thing is this: Make sure your transitions are as intentional as you can make them. Early on, I got a little lost when you switched from Intro Billy, to Young Billy, to Pat... then Pat just sort of fades away. Also there is a point where your narration switches to first person near the beginning of the story... is this intentional? If so, is it meant to be Billy's voice? David's? Is it someone else to whom we haven't been introduced? If so, you don't need to introduce him, but do something to establish that he isn't any of these other characters. This is especially important given the narration that doesn't effect the immediate plot, such as the part about the Cubans and Russians. The first time I read it, I was unsure whether it was Billy saying this, or someone else. Clarifying this does a lot to inform readers how much you want the narration to influence their attitudes towards the characters.\nI also think that the repetition used can become a bit redundant and stale. You've used it quite well in some places, one example of this is the description of the grass in chapter 3. Also the description of Billy at 33. However, it was then re-repeated for his age 16. Was this intentional? If so, what are you trying to accomplish by it? And, personally, I don't much enjoy when single words are repeated too much. The obvious example is with the word 'greed' as chanted by the PWP. The repetitious nature of the chant can be portrayed with far fewer iterations, so I may suggest cutting down on the number of repetitions unless your goal is to have some sort of visual element putting it there. There's another example of this somewhere earlier, but I can't find it for the life of me... sorry.\n\nOverall, I see a lot of good things in this. Perhaps not a go-to type of story for me, but you've done a lot to create a compelling story with an awesome, devil-may-care attitude. A bit of clarification within your formatting and I think you've got something really wonderful on your hands." } ]

There wasn't much to this backwoods town, but it was all the two knew.\n\nRocks and dirt flying, Daniel and Jesse were headed to the Valley. As the name suggested it was simply that, a valley. A place of underage drinking, partying, and more times than not, bastard children. Tonight there was going to be a bonfire and lots of alcohol. Mix those with a loud car and these two were certain to find some cheap love by morning.\n\nThe road before the roaring car began to twist and turn. Up hills and then down.

Red flashed through the night as the car span and hit a tree head on. The two boys, bloody from smashing their heads into the windshield lay motionless as the car smoked and sizzled as if air was being forced out of a small hole.\n\nIt was dark. Absolute darkness and silence. Daniel could feel his body, yet was numb to movement at the same time. Where was he? He tried to slowly move. His hands and feet working with him, only he felt different. He seemed leaner, more skinny. He finally got his hands up only to have them hit a dark ovject above him. Daniel moved his hands all over the surface, but only so far. His elbows wouldnt allow him to move anymore. Was it a door? A wall? \n\nDaniel tried to shift his legs and it was the same. His knees could only allow him to move so far. Now that he thought about it, Daniel was lying on his back. He thought back, trying to remember how he got here. The last thing was the crash. It happened so fast he didn't even feel pain. Was he dead?.\n\nWith as much strength as he could muster in such small space he started to hit the dark mass in front of him. Repeatedly he punched until his muscles ached. Eventually the black ceiling gave and he punched through, sand like particles falling in. \n\nDaniel felt the objects falling through, smelled and tasted it. Earth, dirt. He was buried alive. He had survived, cheated death. \n\nDaniel beat the coffin door until he found himself clawing dirt. It was a slow process. Dirt covered his face and ever advance forward often made him sink back down. Hours later Daniel made it to the top and rain was falling.\n\nHe looked around he was in the old church cemetary up on the mountain. The tombstone hadn't even been carved on yet. How long had he been here? Daniel looked down and saw his lean self. He was in a black suit and tie with brown dress shoes. It was strange. He walked through the cemetary, rain soaking hhis filthy clothes and lightening flashing. He had tto get inside the church and use the secretaries phone. Let his family know he was alive.\n\nDaniel ran to the church and up the stairs. His face and body now covered with running mud.

An overwhelming desire to remain naked at all times. Intense appetite for raw fruits and vegetables accompanied by a rejection of any meats resulting from the slaughter of land animals. Sleep patterns also changed in people infected and they could no longer sleep more than 3 hours at a time.

Perhaps one of the most noticeable changes was the elevated libido which made humans want to engage in intercourse several times a day.\nThe behavior of carriers was overwhelming and it affected every society and culture on Earth. The changes occurred so quickly there was no time for establishments to react and contain, chaos ensued.\nAfter several months and several attempts by governments and established societies to regain control, there was a great shift towards acceptance since the symptoms proved to be more beneficial than destructive.

I began using it regularly, and as my tolerance to it increased, so did my anxiety over me not using it. Everyone was perfect now, no one \"ugly\", unsymmetrical or overweight. Meanwhile it became a horrific yet common experience for people to suddenly change back to their normal selves in the middle of a date, or fashion show, or even a job interview. I soon realized the beauty in my normal body- something i only saw myself every night. I stopped taking the pill, and so should you. It is the only true way to be able to trust anyone." } ]

It was almost funny how often I came to this same conclusion -- and not just in school but with just about everything in life. I could never understand why people did the things they did. I never understood how a plane could stay up in the air or how the internet worked. The desire to learn such things was beyond me. I certainly didn't spend my time thinking about philosophy or religion and it never occurred to me that I should. I told myself I was happy just as I was.\n\nI had a handful of friends that would get together to play video games and smoke a bit or catch a movie now and then. Sometimes we'd go to Justin's house and swim on hot summer afternoons. Those were my favorite days, stealing countless glances at Kelly and her tan skin glistening under gorgeous blue skies as the water slowly ran off of her slender body. It was all that I could do to keep from staring at her the whole afternoon. I'd daydream about a life with her and how fulfilling it would be, but inevitably the yearning would quickly fade to a deep loneliness that settled in the pit of my stomach. What did I have to offer to a girl like that? Not only was she beautiful but also incredibly smart. I wouldn't even know where to begin.\n\nIt was even harder to stand by and watch as everyone I knew graduated and went on to college and then eventually on to their careers. Not me though. I made enough to cover rent at a local apartment complex working various retail jobs in strip malls around town with enough left over to grab beers a few times a week after work. It wasn't a bad life you know? Again I told myself I was happy, but I couldn't shake this loneliness that began to manifest more and more frequently. \n\nIt was something about the mediocrity of it all that started to eat at me first. I blamed my parents for not pushing me hard enough when I was younger. I blamed God or Darwin or whoever it was that deserved it for my lack of drive and intelligence. Then I started to blame myself for sitting idly by while the years past and nothing really changed. My life simply had no importance. \n\nDepression found it's way in and rapidly took its toll. Not long after my 26th birthday my parents found me unconscious on my bathroom floor. So 15 ounces of Jack and 5 Vicodin was a little too aggressive after all. \n\nWhen I woke up I knew something had changed. Sure my parents were now rightfully concerned about me and had me in and out of counseling, but it was something more. I had this new found curiosity and an insatiable appetite for knowledge. I began to soak up everything that I could: science, technology, history, art, culture, you name it. With every little bit that I learned I felt that much closer to happiness.\n\nMy capacity to learn even the most complex material felt infinite. Within five years from that day, I had published a plethora of important works across a variety of topics from scientific breakthroughs in medical research to philosophical theories that are now subscribed to by millions of people. \n\nBefore long I was a constant attendee on the high society social circuit. I had powerful friends and beautiful women. My life had importance. But even still I'd find myself staring up at the the ceiling late a night with that familiar feeling in the pit of my stomach. I was lonely. I was sad.\n\nOne day after a TED Talk I gave regarding the psychology of your future self, I saw Kelly. She was absolutely stunning even in her rather uninspired business casual attire. We got to talking and after catching up a bit we really hit it off. We started dating and I began to think that I had finally found it. To marry Kelly and raise a family with her would be the final piece to the puzzle. Everything was going to work out.\n\nThat was fifteen years ago today. Kelly and I have been married for twelve of them and have two amazing children together. I have been awarded the nobel prize, been on the cover of Forbes, spent time in every country on earth. I've amassed a fortune to the tune of $13 billion. I gave my parents a mansion with sweeping views of the beach on the cliffs of Santa Barbara. My work in the community and contributions to charity have been unmatched by anyone living or dead. My life is perfect in every way imaginable. And yet here I am asking myself as I swallow my 5th Vicodin and a swig of Jack, why do I feel so lonely?\n" } ]

I vomit, the seat disappears and then my puke vanishes in mid-air in front of my face, and I am curled up on the pavement.\n\nNot the tile.

I didn't want to be the Avatar, but now I am, it's time for you to step aside, lady.\"Zu replied in an annoyed voice. He took his horse stance and immediately started his breathing techniques..\n\n\"UGH! There can only be *one* Avatar, and that's me! I challenge you to an Agni Kai, except the winner keeps the Avatar Title!\"Korra had done foolish things as her time as the Avatar, but this was the most foolish. \n\nNaturally, Zu was expecting this. Just as his possible predecessor, Aang, once summoned fire through breathing techniques under the tutorship of Jeong Jeong, he too would be able to summon fire. Except, fire bending had become his dominate style of bending. \n\nKorra immediately started throwing the first rocks at Zu, who was still breathing. One rock flew by, **WOOSH*, Zu moved his head and the rock halted, he shifted his foot, and suddenly the rock crumbled. He slid his legs forwards, and his hands were drawn in a fighting stance.\n\n\"You think you so good!? Try **THIS!**\"Said Korra as she violently triggered the Avatar State. Immediately, Korra started shooting blazing fire out of her erected finger tips. These bolts of fire jolted right into Zu's hands. Zu redirected the fire from out of his hands right back into Korra's direction, except it was twice as strong. \n\n\"Do not attempt to interrupt my breathing with your foolish excuse for the Avatar State.\"Shouted Zu, summoning lightning through his finger tips. He moved his arms in a circular motion, extended his fingers, and **BOOM**. The Lightning left his finger tips so fast that no one saw it, instead they saw a smoking Korra, lying on the ground, withering away. \n\n\"Y-You, didn't w-win this, y-yet.\"Korra struggled to her feet, clutching her chest, she looked up, peering at the full moon. She fixed her gaze on Zu and started moving her hands as if she was controlling a puppet. \n\n\"N-No! This is an illegal form of bending, Korra! You cannot resort to this!\"Shouted Mako, who was standing in the sidelines, along with Jinora, Asami, and Bolin. Surprisingly Zu wasn't scared of Korra's blood bending. Instead, his eyes glowed, and the ocean behind him rose higher then the air balloons covering the fight. He shifted his stance to a low one and pushed his might forward, as he pushed forward, the mighty tsunami he conjured went with him. Immediately he rose himself higher above the wave using an advanced form of Earth bending. He turned, facing the on coming wave, and pushed his hands out, stopping the wave. His eyes glowed for the second time, and lightning shot out of *both* of his hands, right into the mighty wall of water. \n\n\"Surrender your spirit, no, better yet, your *soul*, to be Korra. I am the most powerful creature in existence! My power eclipses any power Raava can give you. My power eclipses any power that VAATU could give you. For I am not an ordinary Avatar. But you, my victim, will never know what I truly am.\"Chuckled Zu. \n\n\"N-Never, I'd rather have you kill me here and now then to collect Raava's spirit..\"\n\nZu laughed. For a third time his eyes lit up, and the mighty wave crashed into Korra, and her friends. Even Zu, winced at the power he conjured. Deciding to show mercy for Korra and her friends' now lifeless bodies, he froze the wave, and erected a lightning bolt into it, 4 times. Shattering a huge glacier.\n\n\"*Poor*, *weak*, **ignorant** Korra, all dead.\"Screeched Zu over the now crumbling glacier. Suddenly, Korra leapt out, her hands bound in two blocks of ice, her feet were crushed, immediately by a series of falling, frozen icy rocks. Her mouth however, was free. She waited until Zu was close enough to her, and surprisingly, Korra used a technique Iroh the Wise once used, spewing Fire from her mouth. \n\n\"Tsk Tsk..\"Zu said, laughing, as he **swallowed** the fire. He stretched his hands out, cracked his knuckles, and placed his long, scaly, fingers on Korra forehead, and chest. Both of their eyes glowed an eerie yellow. Korra's light was rapidly draining, and Zu's light was glowing stronger and stronger. Soon enough, Korra's eyes rolled back into head, and she was no longer breathing. Her spirit was now free of Raava, who was too weak to attempt to embody herself into another human. Her soul however, was now part of Zu, who had successfully managed to replace Korra as the dominant Avatar of this realm.\n\n\n(Might be some grammatical mistakes, typed this pretty late at night, cheers to another Korra fan, remember, it's online now!)" } ]

Some at his feet, some standing on the edges of the wall going up past his legs, his torso and his head. \n\nAt first, I could not make out what they were doing, but as I drew closer, I saw the horror. With weapons they slashed at him, with whips they lashed him, with torches they burned, with hands they clawed and with their mouths they bit at him!

No big, you brought some powerbars and one of those awesome camelback water thingies. You only start to worry when it gets dark, but you're absolutely sure you know which way you're going now. The moon is out, and you remember where you parked your car. \n\nAs you stumble along, you trip and fall into a hole. You scream in terror, and you know in the back of your mind that this is it - you are so dead. You scream and fall, abruptly hitting the bottom feet first right away. There is only a brief moment of relief before you realize the 'bottom' is steeply pitched downward. Your feet slide out from underneath you and your ass slams down hard while you start skidding down. \n\n\"Argh!\"you shout - that *really* hurt. Pain fades in the face of panic as you slide faster and faster. Ohshitohshitohshit*shitSHIT****SHIIIIIT***, your mind races! You flail your arms, desperately trying to grab hold of something, *anything*. Your fingers scrabble across smooth rock and your scumbag brain projects images of a huge chasm somewhere down below, hurtling towards you at the speed of *gulp*. \n\nFor once, your luck holds out - the slide levels out and you slow down, eventually coming to a stop. At this point, you just lay there. *Everything* hurts. Your ass hurts, and you're pretty sure you broke your tailbone. Fingers are raw and probably blistered and bloody, and your arms feel like spaghetti. Your entire backside from the waist down feels like you've had the worst rugburn ever, even worse than that time you had with your ex. You wonder where they are now. You're probably going to die in this giant hole in the ground. \n\nWhile you lie there, silently cursing yourself and your brilliant idea, you notice that it isn't dark. You can make out the faint outlines of a cavern ceiling dotted with stalactites about fifteen feet high. The light is dim, but when you shakily hold your arms up, you can clearly see your hands. Yep, blistered and scraped to hell. Dammit.\n\nYou sit up gingerly, hoping your tailbone isn't as broken as it feels. What you see makes you forget about your sore everything. In front of you sits a big shiny ball. It's at least twice as tall as you, and a soft white glow emanates from an opening. You're too stunned to think - your brain just flat-out refuses to do anything but let you stare for a full minute. \n\nYour zombification is abruptly interrupted when you hear a series of clicks, whorls, and whistles come from the inside. Your brain fires back up. What is it? Is it some artsy fartsy thing? No, nobody would make something like this and just leave it here. How would they even get it down here? Is it a monster in some weird egg? Of course you think maybe it's an alien spaceship, but that's bullshit. What would it be doing all the way down here? \n\nYour train of thought is interrupted by those same sounds again. \"H- Hello?\"you call out in a quaking voice. \"Is somebody there?\"Silence. \"Seriously, is someone in here?\"You ask steadier than last time. A shiny thing emerges from the opening, floating across the ground at eye level. It's the size of a basketball and heading toward you, but slowly. It stops three feet away and shines a blue light on you that wavers back and forth. The light shuts of and the shiny ball hovers up and down in front of you. Well now what? Screw it. \n\n\"Hi,\"you say, \"what are you?\"The ball hovers, then spins slowly and makes more noises. This time, though, the noises speed up, then slow down and stop. \"Can you understand me?\"you ask. The sounds warp and modulate, but there's more of a pattern to it this time. It spins some more, continuing to make noises. Eventually you hear your own voice projected back at you. \n\n\"Hi!whatareyoooooou?Canyouunderstandmeeeee?\"you wrinkle your nose up because it sounds weird and slurry, like you've been on a bender. \n\n\"No, no, slower. More... like... this...\"What in the hell *is* this thing?? You GOTTA get a video - nobody will believe you if you don't! You slowly reach for your pocket, not wanting to alarm the floating talking ball-thingy. \n\n\"No... No...\"you stop moving, thinking it doesn't want you doing that. \"Slower...\"Oh, it's still repeating after you. Go for the phone again. \"More... ... ... Like... ... ... This.\"It sure is smart, whatever it is. You've got two fingers in your pocket now, clasping your phone. \n\n\"That's better.

What are you?\"Camera app is running, it's now or never, right? You tilt the phone back to point the camera at it. \n\n\"I am a human being. What are you?\"It repeats. It comes closer, clearly interested in your phone. \"What are this?\"it asks. Curiosity and a real question!\n\n\"This is a phone, a communications device. It has a camera.\"The surface of the shiny ball ripples and forms a camera lens. Then that disappears and the screen of your phone appears, but all ripply - holy crap it's hacked your wifi! And then you have signal all of a sudden - you even get a text message from one of your friends! Then a web browser comes up and flashes through a bunch of pages at breakneck speed. \"Whoa,\"you breathe. This goes on for about a minute before you notice the phone is starting to get *really* warm. \"Hey, slow down - you're gonna burn out my phone!\"You look up at the ball with a frown. Instead of a copy of your screen there are two small white circles looking back at you. They blink. \n\n\"Your device is too slow. Establishing direct network connection.\"The voice isn't yours now. You're not sure, but you think it might be Patrick Stewart. Whatever, at least it's not using your voice anymore. \"Bah!\"it exclaims in a woman's voice, \"This network is too slow! Where can we go faster?\"It has come very close to your face and the circles seem brighter now. You lean back a little and drop your phone into your lap. \"Faster, need to be faster!\"\n\n\"Alright, shit! But we're stuck in a deep hole. We have to get out first.\"\n\n\"Kay!\"a little kid's voice this time. The ball backs away and then you start floating off the ground. \"Whoa hey!\"The ball turns around and you both head towards the bigger ball's entrance. \"Hey hey hey, put me down!\"you shout. The little ball ignores you and you both drift inside the opening. It's only now that you realize you might be in trouble." } ]

He would then once again explore the island in hope of uncovering something that he had missed before. Well at least that’s what he told himself but deep down inside he knew it was a menial way to pass time. As night begins to fall he will start the walk back to his cave, his home. He would stare up at the sky untouched by smog or fumes at the stars that shined brighter than anywhere else in the world. He would return back to the waterfall, walk through the little passage caused by years of erosion that naturally cut through rock wall, enter his cabin and lie down upon the straw mat fashioned by his hands.

He lived this place for it was his sanctum sanctorum, his Shangri la but inside he would feel a little stab of pain, this emotion didn’t register to him so he ignored and buried it as he usually did.

A lavish estate in the heart of Virginia. They owned the land for miles with not a soul nearby.\n\nHis breathing was heavy as he exited his car. He slumped and hesitated to reach the front door. He stood with tears forming. A few sloppy attempts of wiping them away and he opened the door. Immediately he was greeted by the wave of family members.\n\nFor the most part Daniel could see the happiness and joy from the eyes of various cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmothers to grandfathers, and the extensions of family further. They didn't know the curse of having the trait. They didn't know the madness that was immortality. He scanned the room and picked out the ones that had lives such long lives.\n\nIt was uncle Peter's turn now. Daniel looked for his father and embraced him. They shared a brief handshake. A stern look took over his father that was shared immediately by his grandmother who watched from afar.\n\nDaniel mingled with family all night and slowly they returned home one by one. \n\n\"Uncle Peter, do you mind staying awhile?\"Daniel said. His wife had just started to exit before turning back.\n\n\"Sure, you can go on without me Mariah. Daniel or my brother can give me a ride back.\"She turned and closed the door behind her. It hid her tears.\n\nIt happened quickly as Daniel's father clubbed him on the head numerous times. Uncle Peter reacted violently as he pushed away.\n\n\"What is-\"Daniel tackled his uncle and his father laid a final strike to knock Peter out.\n\nDaniel and his father grasped Peter and moved into a dark part of the manor. Grandmother had already been waiting with the hidden cellar doors wide open. Hideous sound erupted from there.\n\nDaniel worked to attach heavy steel chains from his uncle to concrete. Peter shrugged and awoke.\n\n\"Daniel, brother! Why are you doing this?\"Tears welled up in Daniel's eyes.\n\nDaniel could only limply point his fingers to numerous concrete posts around them. Daniel's father shined lights on them. Ten's of former family members. Gaunt faces and ghoulish eyes all chained to posts.\n\n\"What is this?\"Peter was madly grasping at his chains.\n\n\"You have lived two life times already great granduncle. three is when you descend into madness. No more and no less.\"\n\n\"What are you talking about, I am fifty one years old\"\n\nDaniel reached into his pocket and showed him a small canvas portrait. Peter recoiled as he saw his own face among familiar faces. \n\n\"You are not fifty. You don't and will never look fifty\"Daniel pulled a mirror from his pocket. He pointed it at Peter. \n\n\"You look like no fifty year old. Dad is fifty three. You look not a day past twenty four\"\n\nPeter started to scream. It sounded inhuman and forced Daniel and his father to retreat. Peter seemed to attempt words but it devolved into snarls.\n\n*Immortality is a curse. It is madness that takes over your mind. Live one lifetime to see everyone fade away. Your kids and spouse die long before they are placed into the crypts. The pattern stays the same. They forget, they relive and do it again. By the third time they scream murder at the world. Husks and inhuman bodies that never die. \n\nNo amount of maiming, shooting, slicing, drugs or poison will destroy them. They will sit in darkness unless we find the day in which we can kill them.\n\nPerhaps god or some deity has cursed this family. To force a part of us to descend into insanity.*\n\nDaniel pushed back his father as they retreated from the crypts. Ten's of undying family members howling, snarling, screaming, or gurgling at them. \n\n" } ]

We used to check out local bands or hit up the bars with close friends, but ever since we took our relationship to the next level all we do now is sit around in our pajamas scrolling through Netflix trying to find something decent to watch. \n\n“I’m sorry, but this food is shit! I mean how hard is it to warm up chicken balls?”\n\n“I know” she said, “My food is pretty cold too, let’s just get the bill and call it a night”.\nI signal to the young waitress hoping to get her attention.

I’m just about to point this out to my girlfriend when I notice the faint glow of a cell phone screen illuminating her face. \n\nFinally another waitress makes her way over to us. She’s much older and very frail looking. She brings the bill along with a couple fortune cookies. \n\n“So sorry for my daughter. She not know how to work hard, it makes me sad.” she explains “I’ve brought you special fortune cookies, you read them now!”\n\nCindy quickly reaches for one of the cookies, ripping open the plastic wrapper from the cookie and splitting open the cookie. Excitedly she reads the fortune out loud: “Wealth awaits you very soon”\n“Ah, lucky you” says the Chinese lady. \n\n“How awesome would that be to finally be wealthy?” my girlfriend asks. “Oh and look, it’s the year of the cat! Sometimes I think life would just be better if I were a cat.”\n\nI passively nod and say my obligatory “Uh huh”\n\n“Read yours!” Cindy demands.\n\n“Ugh, can we just go?”\n“Oh come on, just open it!” I see the excitement in her face start to fade. \n“Fine”\nI start removing the plastic. I open the cookie and first read the fortune to myself. I never understood the purpose of fortune cookies, how can these mass produced things be taken seriously by anyone? But I know Cindy is into that kind of stuff, so I read it out loud anyways. \n\n“It is now, and in this world, that we must live.” I share “Now, can we leave?”\n“Ohh, wise advice” said the waitress “You should listen to those words”\n“Ugh, right. Thank you.” I reply.\nWe make our way back to our apartment where we quickly fall into our normal routine of jumping into our pajamas and browsing the Netflix catalogue. Cindy finds some stupid documentary about the cosmos and asks if it’s something I want to watch. I nod, but to be honest I don’t give a shit what we watch. I just want to pass out and go to sleep. \nSure enough, not that long into the documentary I get my wish and I fall asleep on the couch. \nSNAPPPP!\n\nStartled, I wake up from what must have been a deep sleep as I have no clue where I am. I start looking around trying to identify the source of the noise. That’s when I notice that I’m alone on the couch. Cindy must have went to bed without me, but that’s odd because she hates sleeping in the bedroom alone. \nFor some reason I can see everything in detail. None of the lights are on and it has to be 3 or 4 in the morning, but for whatever reason I can see everything crystal clear. That’s when I notice the dead mouse in the mouse trap behind the fridge.\n\nNoticing the mouse carcass is an understatement, I’m intrigued by it. So much in fact, that without even thinking I’m suddenly lunging out of the couch and dashing towards the trap. \nI stop, paralyzed with fear. Something isn’t right.\n\nSuddenly the bedroom door opens and out comes Cindy.\n\n“Sebastian! What are you doing out here?” \nWhy is she calling me Sebastian? I start making my way over to her when I realize that I am walking on four legs. Ok, I must be dreaming.\n\n“Ewww, ewww, ewww” Cindy starts freaking out at the sight of the dead mouse. “You didn’t touch it did you Sebastian? Please tell me you didn’t. That’s disgusting!”\nI start brushing up on Cindy’s legs trying to get her attention, but she just kicks me away. \n\nWhat’s going on I ask myself. This has to be some sort of bad dream.\n\nCindy heads back into the bedroom and closes the door behind her, leaving me alone in the kitchen with the dead mouse.\n\nEvery impulse in my body is telling me to go to the mouse, but I fight it. I need to figure out what is going on. Instead I head into the bathroom and jump up on the counter so I can see myself in the mirror. That’s when I see it, I’m a cat.\n\nFreaked out, I jump off the counter knocking over everything that was there and I make my way to Cindy’s bedroom door. I start clawing at the door trying to get her attention. \n\n“What the hell is wrong with you Sebastian?” she asks. “I’m trying to sleep!”\n\nI begin meowing and meowing until she finally picks me up. \n\n“What’s the matter kitty?”\n\nUncontrollably I start purring.\n\n“Awww, you’re never this affectionate. Did the dead mouse scare you too?\n\nNo the mouse didn’t scare me! The fact that I’m a cat may have had something to do with that! God dammit, why doesn’t she know who I am?\n\n“Come on, let’s go to bed” she says.\n\nShe takes me into the bedroom and tosses me on the bed. I look around and notice that there are no pictures of Cindy and I in the bedroom. There used to be all sorts of pictures of us from when we first started dating hanging on the walls. \n\nAs I’m gazing around the bedroom I stop and watch Cindy who has started removing her pajama bottoms and top. She always liked sleeping in her underwear, but I never noticed how attractive she was when she was stripped down like this. \nShortly Cindy is asleep and I am left lying beside her listening to her breathe. It’s would almost be therapeutic if it wasn’t for the fact that my mind was wondering a million different things. \n\nWhy am I a cat?\n\nWhat happened to my normal self?\n\nDoes Cindy know who I really am?\n\nBefore I know it the sun is up and Cindy is starting to wake up. It’s Tuesday so she will be leaving for work soon. This will give me time to figure out what happened to me and how I can fix it!\n\nI stay in bed as Cindy starts getting ready for work. As I lay there I start retracing my steps. All I remember is dozing off during Netflix, and going out for Chinese food. Maybe if I go back to the restaurant I can find something that will point me in the right direction. \n\nI hear Cindy getting out of the shower, so I pretend to be asleep on the bed as not to draw any attention to myself. She comes into the bedroom and gets changed. She gives me a quick rub on the head and takes off. Perfect! She didn’t suspect a thing!\n\nAfter I’m sure she is gone I quickly look for a way out of the apartment. Fortunately a window in the bathroom was left open, I decide that’s my best route out of here. \n\nOnce I’m out I start my journey to the restaurant. \nOnce I found the place I head around to the back alley to find a way inside. As I’m searching for a way in I feel myself suddenly pulled back by the scruff of my neck. \n\n“Well well well, look who it is” says a frail old lady “Looks like someone didn’t listen to their fortune cookie”\n\nIt was the little old waitress from last night. Did she know who I was?\n\nShe took me into a small room behind the kitchen. Inside the room there were cages full of other cats all meowing and hissing at the sight of the old woman. She threw me into one of the cages with the other cats. \n\nAs she locked the cage door she looked at me with a grin and said:\n\n“Tonight’s special, kitty soup!”\n\n\n" } ]

I've argued about this one too many times- I don't want to spend the night on the couch again. I get the camera.\n\nDavid is three years old now, and I feel like I'm a hundred. This child-rearing is exhausting. There's so much pressure on me. I mean, yesterday for instance. David wanted a My Little Angel doll. And half of me wanted to yell hooray while the other wanted to smack the doll out of his hand, like my own father did when he caught me with Jenny's barbies. \n\nThere were other parents there, watching, too. As if I didn't have enough pressure. So I awkwardly put the doll in the cart and said, \"Oh, good choice! Your friend will love that!\"And then I rolled off as fast as I could, one foot on the cart and the other propelling me from those awful prying eyes.\n\nI don't really care, now that David is playing with the baby doll. I'm filming it from the cracked-open bedroom door. He's just pretending the My Little Angel and the G.I. Joe are fighting. \n\nTo be honest, it gets kinda boring. Raising someone. It's pretty hard to fuck them up, so I'm only half conscious most of the time. \n\nIn fact, right now, I'm dozing off. I don't wake up until the battery beeps at me. I turn off the camera and peek through the crack into David's room. He's chatting with the Angel now, and she's saying something back. Hmm. I didn't realize it was a talking doll. Normally those take batteries.\n\nI run to the bedroom and put away the camera. Sheila can upload the video later. Right now I want a cold beer and some veg time on the couch.\n\nJust as I turn on the game, David comes out and sits right in front of the tv with his doll and his action figure.\n\n\"David, kiddo, can you move? Please? David?\"He's not listening to me. I walk over, lift him up, and move him three feet to the left. But as I'm setting him down, my finger gets caught in that dumb fucking doll's mouth. I snatch it away. I'm bleeding.\n\nI run over to the kitchen to wash it off before it drips on the carpet. Sheila would kill me if she saw any blood on it. She spent about half a month in various carpet stores picking it out last year.\n\nAs I'm washing my hands, I realize I should have taken the doll with me. It must have some defect if it cut me. I turn back toward the living room when I hear something.\n\nIt's definitely not Sheila's voice.\n\nIt sounds more like my sister, Jenny. But she's been dead for five years.\n\nI shove open the door. But the only person there is David, still playing with his dolls. He's crawled right back in front of the tv again.\n\nMaybe I need a nap.\n\nI could swear Jenny's voice wakes me up. But the room is empty. Sheila must have put our son to sleep. Only his dolls are left on the floor. I pick them up and carry them to his room. It's already getting dark out, but I feel better after that nap.\n\nAs I'm setting the My Little Angel down, I remember I was going to check if she has some sharp bits. I peer into her mouth under the hallway light. Funny, I don't see anything.\n\nI shrug. Must have been some mistake.\n\nDavid lifts his head when I walk in. He was asleep. Fuck. I always wake him up.\n\nHe beckons to me. \"Daddddddy,\"he whines. That kid, man.\n\n\"Daddy, when do we get to go visit Aunt Jenny? She said soon but when is soon?\"\n\nI realize I'm still holding the doll.\n\n\"Soon, David,\"it says in a familiar voice." } ]

We turned inwards, to ourself, disguarded everything but the most nessecary, which included all the non-human passegers. \n\nAnd now, we are just head in spheres, driven powered by all that non-important biomass. Now, we are free. Now, we are beatiful. \n\nAnd soon, our Master will return, and take us to a new land. A living land. And it will be wonderful. He calls it earth, and its so very very long ago. And soon, it will be *ours!*" } ]
