I went to the basketball game, I put the folder under my chair, and I sat there for the rest of the game, just as I was instructed. The folder didn't explode, the folder didn't gas the room, and by the time the game was over, it was gone. In its place was a small … Continue reading A Message at Midnight: Part 3
In-Body Experience
The man watched as he saw the entity walk into the house. He watched as it took the knife and stroked it across its hand, relishing in the blood that resulted. He watched as it came into the bedroom, walked to the sleeper, and methodically stroked the knife across her body. He knew that the … Continue reading In-Body Experience
He Who Steals Time
He Who Steals Time arrived at his next target. He saw a woman, and the infant that she held in her arms.

He cried out to the people on the streets to help him. He begged them to entreat Prometheus, hoping that it would show him mercy. Nobody stopped. Like the dutiful citizens … Continue reading Prometheus’ Example
Falling
The wind whistled in my ears. My limbs flailed wildly. I grasped about for ground, but nothing was there. I looked down, hoping to see the end of the fall. I saw no ground beneath me. I saw the gaping, toothy maw, and a gullet beyond that led into total darkness. I fell into the … Continue reading Falling
A Message at Midnight
When I was lying in bed last night, I heard the TV turn on by itself. I could see the light from the screen, but when I tried to look at it, something strange happened. I couldn’t move.
