She leaned against the door, pushing with a hand and her other shoulder. The door creaked and cracked some more. This was obviously meant to be a strong door, but its age left it in a weakened enough state that with one more solid kick (with her other foot this time...) she managed to get the lock o...
She woke up some time later to the sound of the wind blowing through the building. As she stood she looked about, her eyes well adjusted to the dim light. It seems the sun hadn't fully set, or there were other lights in the city keeping the area from getting too dark; she couldn't tell which. Standi...
Grass. Buildings. Sky. Me. I need a name. I am a person. What kind of person? I don't know. What describes me? She was utterly bored out of her mind, perhaps that's why her mind had wandered as far as it could. And so, in wandering, she eventually came to the fact that she couldn't remember her nam...
There was nothing in it. Well, that's not entirely true. There were things ... The burned console, counter tops, hooks and anchor points for smaller things that weren't there. Empty cabinets. Surely if all this happened in an accident there should be some things in it. Well, there were two things. A...
The young woman weakly walked out into the grass, turning around to see just what kind of a room she was in. It was scorched on what she dubbed the front of it, and somewhat around the sides, one of which was the side the door was on. The room she was in made up the majority of it, with a bit of wha...
She awoke to tears streaming down her face, gasping for air as she threw the lid of the pod open. Fresh air rushed in, but it turned out to be worse than it was in the pod and made her throat feel like it was burning. She clumsily tumbled out of the shell, barely holding on to it to keep herself fro...
“Well this isn't good,” she stated plainly in her mind, putting fists on her hips and looking annoyed at what was probably a wall. Her eyes seemed to have adjusted as best they could to the very dim light, but it was too centrally located to help her make out what was on the walls. She hopped up and...
It was quiet. It was really quiet. It was silent --, no not silent. If it was they would be able to hear the sounds of their own body. They? Their? They are a him! Her? Does it matter? Yes, it matters. But... why does it matter? They sighed. That's when she... he... Alright, time to nip this in the ...
Someone linked this to me for comments. I wouldn't mind there being a pay-for SSL option, as it might help offset the costs of the site for Max. One of the points brought up was would this cause more load on the site? Most sites that do full-site SSL find it provides ~1% load increase, which isn't r...
Stability of Government: The government is unlikely to change. Were the Leader to be replace for any reason, the underlying government would remain the same. Functionality of Government: The government is paying all employees in full as well as maintaining retirement funding. Debt is currently main...
I'm opening two stores here. At the moment, I don't have any stories ready to go but I do have a couple of ideas I plan on running in the future. Until then, the two stores are just open for regular business: Folsome Foods (Bakery / Cafe-style) Characters: Tayla Hart Richard Pearlman Michael Pale Li...
Anyone else get the feeling that we're going in circles? So, d'ya think it's because of a timehole, future echoes, a temporal causality loop caused by an impact between us and USS Bozeman , or a red matter black hole? I don't know, sounds more like we've been put into a register and are just being ...
