Jack woke up from yet another nap. He thought he should probably stop sleeping every day, but he was just so tired all the time. The clock said 3:47PM, and he sighed. Another day wasted. Since he lost his job and girlfriend and moved back home, he felt like everything in his life he had… Continue reading Depression
Richard knew he had said the wrong thing, but too much time had passed. He drank another swig of his black coffee. There had just been so much work and other things to take his attention away, apologizing had been the farthest thing from his mind. Usually, he took his coffee with sugar, and he… Continue reading How to say sorry
There was a certain normality to eating, he wasn’t sure what he was eating, not to mention most of the people around him were entirely alien, but Arthur enjoyed merely sitting there and talking with the other recruits.

Or some kinda urban myth? What could he lose by trying it? It was going to die anyways… all he had… Continue reading Defenders (Part 32)
At first, there was only darkness. Arthur felt uneasy, and the darkness seemed to hang over his body like a sheet. He looked down and could see his body standing again on what seemed like an infinite black space. He looked around, and although there was no source of light, his own body was illuminated… Continue reading Defenders (Part 30)
One by one more and more recruits walked forward to be tested, most passed but there was still an ever increasing amount of drop outs.
