Trunk Exchange

Parking lot near Lake Harriett
Harmony Bergen leaned against the back of a gray van. She checked her watch again. While she was looking forward to the exchange, she wished they could have done it earlier. She wasn't looking forward to how tired she was going to feel the next day. She thought about high much coffee she would have to drink just to be a functional human being.
It was late spring, but the nights still had a little chill in their genes. Harmony w

Your way, you can have it!






    
Taylor winced as an older woman entered the shop, from her haircut alone he knew she was going to be trouble. He watched helplessly as she stepped inside the empty store, the door being held open for her by a well-dressed man holding a briefcase. It was clear the man worked for her by the wa

I
remember it so vividly. It was 2am, the last bus of the night. I had
just finished the late shift and was looking forward to getting home
and collapsing in bed. Normally this bus was loaded with drunken
idiots on their way out of the string of bars, but the last of them
had stumbled off at the previous stop. My house was past this big
office park, the last stop the bus would make before turning around,
so I was inevitably the last one to get off. Just before the doors
were about to shut though

We had set camp in the Himalayas, Nepal. The night air sent a cool breeze throughout the shrine and the various huts surrounding it. The moon was full, so I could see perfectly fine. It was quite a sight, actually, with all the mountains in the background.
Name's Solider: 82. Being the year 2075, America's military had the technology to duplicate humans as copies – so long as there was war, they wouldn't stop making copies of us until the ordeal is all over. Apparently I'm the eighty-secon

There
she was, just like every other day. Sitting across from you on the
bus, on her way to school along with the rest of the masses that
populated public transit in the morning. You’d known her since
middle school, but quite frankly hadn’t spoken a word mutually
outside of class. You could tell she was kind of shy, and you were
too. Your watchful eye took notice of the fact that she preferred to
be alone at mostly all times. In the library, at lunch, and even
right now on the bus, she was b

Each of
Nadia’s steps down the dark, eerie stairway echoed around her,
every step bringing her closer to her dungeon, hidden underground and
far away from town. A torch held in her left hand cast wild,
flickering shadows all around her, adding to the ominous atmosphere.
She heard nothing else as she came to a stop in front of the door at
the bottom, but as the vampiress’s slender fingers wrapped around
the door’s handle and pulled it open with a slow creak, a faint,
nervous breath from wit

The sound of us flying within this metal container was all we heard for the past six hours. Even with the 5 of us, six if you were to include the pilot, no one really talked to each other or said much of anything. The only time we ever talked to each other would be when she took off and when we would get dropped off. And if anything, it would only be to say which direction any of us would take or to casually say “good luck.” But yet who can blame them given how we were all forced int

Jason sprinted down the deserted hallway, careening off lockers as he took corners without slowing. At the end of the long hallway, he could just make out the pinpoint of light that was his freedom. The guttural snarls behind him, getting louder, sent adrenaline coursing through his veins. Despite the extra boost, Jason knew he’d never make it down the corridor before she caught up to him. Ducking into a dark classroom, a science lab it turned out, he hid under a table in the back of the r

Which Sleeping bag was mine? (Multiple endings) It was a bright sunny day on the campgrounds. There, a man named Mark took his family camping. He brought his 8 year old daughter Wendy. His 16 year old daughter Bella and his beautiful wife and mother to his children, Cindy. They were all currently sitting by the fire eating hot dogs while Mark set up the family tent. It was a very large tent meant for a family of six. With just the four of them, it gave them quite enough room for everyone.“
