"What do you mean 'a couple extra days'? Where the hell are the IOUs? Did something happen to them? Let me make this clear, 1.7 million dollars might not sound like much, but it's more than enough to ruin both your lives!" Mom almost fell off her chair from his sudden shift.

Her gaze locks, onto me broken, intense the spirit I bet on and loved years ago sparking to life for a moment. “Tomorrow " she murmurs, the term cutting like a knife. "They said tomorrow.” “Next we possess twenty-four hours to turn tomorrow into the day, in the city’s history.” Rosa’s laughter is piercing, like glass trapped in a jar resonating from the darkness where she hones her machetes for the fifth time this evening. "Count me in.”

"Dad, I'm sorry for what happened today. Your identity got exposed… I'm really sorry." He chuckled and patted my hand. There wasn't a trace of blame in his voice as he chided gently, "Silly girl. I'll always have your back when you need it. How could I ever blame you for standing up for yourself?"

Shutting her eyes, she reached out to the wall and… couldn’t touch it. She stumbled and fell on the ground, moving further than she was supposed to. The wall was supposed to be there. She ought to have fallen against the wall, but she tumbled farther onto the road. Leaden footsteps sounded down the street as she picked herself up from the ground. She turned back to see the wall that she had fallen through and touched her body to make sure she was still fine. Then she pinched herself. Nothing happened. This was happening. KEEP UP! She hurried after the leaden steps, running through the streets late at night, only realizing now that she had spent the whole day at the museum after killing the p

It was then, only after they had taken his dead wife from him and after recounting this story—imagining Michelle’s flourishing hair and beautiful, milky sweet breasts being vaporized and oxidized, her remains intermingling with all those unfortunates, reduced to ashy bits right now and int

“What’s Ben got this time?” “2067 G wagon.” he replied between chewing, crumpling the burrito wrapper. “That was delicious, thank you. I’m gonna change then we’ll head out.” He kissed Emma and went back to his bedroom. Lucas kept a meticulously clean apartment. It was well decorated with beautiful pieces of furniture, that complimented each other well, and abstract yet gorgeous paintings and sculptures.

Becca smirked and shook her head, helping Kendra copy her notes. "Just that you're so grumpy." Becca said and everyone held back their laughs. "I am not. Its just," Demitri rubbed his face, his eyes especially,"morning ya know." Demitri bluffed and closed his binder. "Cheer up, we're gonna study together later and I don't want you to act like an ass." Becca said. "yeah, sure. We'll see." Demitri said. The rest of the class was uneventful. Just more notes and more homework pages. The other classes were all the same. For other students, this day may have seemed tedious or even frustrating. For Demitri and Becca, this was a typical good day of productive learning.

The words were partially distorted but I heard them clearly enough. “Direct hit. No survivors possible. You know what this was.” The other man did not answer. They went back to work. Standard procedure. The camera panned across the crater. Slow. Methodical. Documenting. Halfway through the pan it caught something at the outer edge. A small glass jar. Cracked but not shattered.
