“The fact is that we have no way of knowing if the person we think we are is at the core of our being. Are you a decent girl with the potential to someday become an evil monster, or are you an evil monster that thinks it’s a decent girl?” --Derek Landy --Death Bringer *~*~*~*~*~*~* Chapter 1: Weird Sand With a sigh, Margo resisted the strong urge to roll up the sleeves of her lab coat before starting her work once again. This time she had to stop in order to pull her long brown hair up into a messy ballerina bun so it would stay out of her face and maybe, just maybe keep the back of her neck cool in the sweltering heat of

Mai woke from another dreamless night as the sun rose. She walked out of her room and into the kitchen where she was greeted only by cold stone and hardwoods. She cheeked the clock reading back to her 6:37 am. She started the coffee pot and toasting of her daily poppy seed bagel. She picked her newspaper off the ground of her apartment. On the front page was an article about a serial killer who was leaving no traces when he killed. She tossed the paper on the counter knowing about the case all too well. Her toaster popped loudly behind her. She grabbed the bagel from the toaster and started to eat. When she had finished she went to take a sho

Eastern Warehouse District – Miami, FL May 25th 2014 21:15 EST     It was as if she was watching everything unfold before her in slow motion playback.  In that brief second, time ceased to hold its sway given what she had just witnessed.  The thunderous discharge from the high-powered sniper rifle was still ringing in her ears even as she looked down from the roof.  The skylight above the garage had shattered from where he had fallen through.  His voice was the last thing she could acutely remember.     “Ada!  Sniper above!”     She’d barely had time to turn when the red dot of a laser site honed in on her chest.

PERSONAL JOURNAL IF FOUND, RETURN TO: Doctor John H. Watson 1 July, 1944 I have never kept a journal before, but by the insistence of my colleagues with me here in Normandy, I have agreed to write in one. It is a healthy way to keep my mind from shattering during this campaign, they say, and I suppose I do have reason to believe them. They've been here for nearly a month now; I only just arrived a few days ago. Ever since arrival, I have been bombarded with patients, most of them dead only seconds after being placed on my operating table. The few "lucky" enough to survive the first few seconds normally die within a minute or so, no matter

Back then all we needed was that crazy, unreal man. We never once thought of the consequences of going to such far reaches of space and time; the universe was open to us in a way that we were told was impossible. A fool's dream. We saw and did so much. We saved so many people, most of whom were not even human. In the end, not being human was the blessing that saved an entire planet from what killed my very best friend. A simple little virus developed by a planet afraid of war with the humans. A beautiful, war-torn planet known as Ariada that was terrified when we arrived with that crazy man in his blue police box. He told us tragedy follow

Chapter One: A New Reality When Josh woke up, everything was dead silent. He didn’t know how long he had been asleep or what happened. The last thing he could remember is that he started reading the book aloud to his friends before he apparently passed out. It was only now that Josh noticed all his friends passed out around the table as well. He immediately stood up and rushed over to Sam, and shook him. No response. At first Josh thought this was some kind of a joke well orchestrated by his friends so he waited for several minutes. Still they didn’t move so Josh went around shaking all of them to get some kind of response he
