Rainbow World

by TonyNoland – about 1 year ago

The world was so close to perfect, he hated having to point out the flaws to the designer. It was his least favorite part of the job; they always took it personally. Months to design each reality, thousands of hours of effort by the design teams, but it...   [Read more...]

The Hang of Whistling

by mroshaugh – about 1 year ago

Escape

by SJIHolliday – about 1 year ago

Self-fulfilling prophecy

by profane tmesis – about 1 year ago

You can't be a hero if you can't move your arms. You can't get the girl with a stutter like that. What can you do in your condition? What did you expect? How can you live without the means to earn respect?
