I stood on top of the mountain. Freshly fallen snow covered everything I could see from the peak of the mountain. The periwinkle coloured sky was clear, like a blank sheet of paper. I took a deep breath in, the icy air stinging my nose, and then exhaled and saw a cloud rise into the sky. I gazed downwards and saw tall, snow-covered pine trees, and they reminded me of little white hairs, standing straight up on someone's arm. I reached up with my gloved hand and pulled down my ski goggles, tinting everything slightly orange. I looked up and saw snowflakes delicately fluttering down, as one fell on my goggles.

I peered down and saw that this slope was much steeper than any other slope I had gone down before. My heartbeat hastened and each beat got stronger. My head started to feel warm and the inside of my helmet was humid. “Let’s go!” my dad shouted encouragingly as he started to slide down the slope. I leaned forward tentatively and started down the slope. I was picking up speed, rapidly, and I passed my dad. “See!” he shouted over the noise of the wind, “it’s fun, right?” “Yeah!” I replied. I aimed my toes together in an attempt to slow down, but it didn’t help much. I was constantly turning, weaving between the dark pine trees and snow covered boulders. My skis sprayed a trail of fluffy snow behind me, while at the same time another skier’s spray stung my

“I’m still so worried about my parents. What in the world am I going to tell my mom to keep her from going crazy again?” Dan, sitting across the aisle from Joan, calmly responded “We’ll figure it out later, we’ll be landing in Albuquerque soon and I’m going to take this time to catch up on some sleep. We have a while to drive once we land, we can figure it out then.” Without a single word, Dan, seemingly instantaneously laid back, and drifted off to sleep. Joan’s brain was running on overdrive…

All I could do was grab onto the branches of a giant tree. It wouldn’t help my emotions at all. I could hear the screams become louder and louder. I held on even more tightly, someone was coming.

The Hollow rattled with the passing of another subway train. The myriad of screens flickered and fussed as the train went by, and the sounds of multiple news screens were muted by its rumbling. It never lasted for more than a minute, though. When the train passed the screens came back in all their vibrance. All of them detailed the same thing, too. Plummeting stocks in commodities, rising stocks in securities, and a near perpetual loop of Bastion falling to the ground. Even the Daily Show had their…

Tera kept hold of OZ as he sailed through the air, her eyes scanning the ground below them for any other signs of the twilights making chase. They had only spotted two, but Tera was never one to just relax and think she was safe before things were really clear. Hell in a way Tera never felt safe, her body always seemed ready for danger, and she even slept with at least two weapons near her every night. It was tiring for sure, but in a city like Ergastulum letting your ground down meant accepting…

I walked into a big round room that was completely empty. Except, there was a chair in the center with someone sitting it it. The someone was the creator. The creator was wearing a white skirt that seemed to be way too big for them. The creator had their hair tied up in a messy bun. “ I am surprised that you’ve made it.

Carl, the lone carbon, awoke with a thud. His eyes dilated with fear. He gazed at the bone marrow crushing and scraping against a cylindrical shiny object. He got out of his cubby and stared at the chaos beneath him. Everything was collapsing. The bone he was in was in complete entropy. At that moment, Carl knew his whole five years in the deer have come to an end. All he could do was stare at the decomposition of his host, his everything. The shattering of his heart pounded him like bricks as he…

Two weeks had passed and the base remained mostly uneventful. A sad looking, zombie attempted the newly rebuilt fence but was dispatched only after numerous shots to its emaciated body brought it down and its odd looking helmet was removed for the final blow from a baseball bat. The helmet was stuffed with foam batting, covering the majority of its head and face. It was a curious creature but effected little mention outside of casual conversation. All-in-all, it was forgotten almost as quickly…
