Churn Rate

Theresa dried off her hands and left the bathroom to head downstairs. Everyone except Riley, her roommate, had probably left by now, so it was time for the two of them to clean up. Thankfully their current group had been considerate so far, so they didn’t make a huge mess. 15 minutes of cleaning was a small price to pay for a consistent Mage: The Ascension group. Theresa was so fucking hyped to see what the group did once their characters arrived in Sala

Patience and Prudence

Amelia had nothing but her thoughts. Even if she opened her eyes, all she saw was darkness. Noise was muffled too, so no distractions there. All she could feel was a uniform spongey texture, and the smell was similarly one-note, so there was nothing to do but think about how she had gotten into this situation.

Obviously, Amelia was inside a cake. She’d been convinced over the last several weeks that getting into this c

Under the Table


Monika yelped and ducked behind the nearest cubicle, breathing heavily. She’d barely made it around the corner before the door she’d just entered through had opened, and trouble had walked in.


The inhabitant of the cubicle, a chubby middle-aged man with a thick beard, gave her a raised eyebrow but didn’t otherwise seem to object at her hiding here, so she took a second to catch her breat

The Daily Tribulations of Big Brenna


Brenna had been persevering for almost an hour now, hoping it wouldn’t come to this.

It had, though.

She was going to have to get up.

Brenna groaned in irritation, casting her eyes across her workbench one last time, hoping that she had somehow missed the toluene solvent, but it was nowhere to be seen.

She leaned forw

Montreal Construction United v. Canada (CCOHS)


“The prosecution calls to the stand their next witness, Denise Fairchild.”


Denise smothered a groan and stood up. Part of her had been hoping she wouldn’t get called on today. There was a rush of whispers as she stood up, which she determinedly ignored. She sidled down her row, whispering apologies to the many people she bumped into on the way–

The Ceremony




Kaito’s gait was steady, but each step had a lot of thought put into it. They were nearing a heat source, and the snow underfoot was wetter than usual, making the pipe they walked on unusually treacherous. He made small adjustments to his cargo constantly, shifting it to keep his center of gravity where it needed to be. Even after centuries of practice, avoiding a fall still took his attention, but by now it was a

Experiment




After confirming that the room number on the flier was 228, Sophia opened the door. Inside was a typical small office entry, with a bored-looking grad student browsing his phone sitting behind a cheap wooden desk. He glanced up as she entered.

“You here for the study?” he asked. Sophia hesitated for a second before nodding. He seemed a little casually dressed for a scientist, but

Takeout Food




Dion parked his car in the parking lot of his apartment and smiled tiredly at himself in the mirror. A young black man with a shaved head smiled back at him. He could tell there were bags under his eyes, though he doubted anyone else could. It had been a long day at the store, a long week, really, but now it was over. Finally, it was time to relax at home with his girlfriend.

A short while l
