“The First One” by Lucas Baptista

Submitted to Contest #95

…A being of light and dark, they acquired consciousness eons ago, around them laid the infinite emptiness and before them were two doors.

“Kel’s Theory” by Lucas Baptista

As we always say, a small advancement is infinitely greater than no advancement at all.” Bruno adjusted himself in his chair. The therapist eyed him through the camera with that look of near-infinite patience and expectancy that only therapists have.

“Halls of the Forgotten” by Lucas Baptista

Submitted to Contest #91

“First day, huh?” “How do you know?” “You are about to enter the Halls of the Forgotten instead of the Forgotten Halls. Common mistake. Fatal, too.” “Haha, okay, okay I see it. You’re just fucking with the new guy.” “Do I look like I want to have intercourse with you?” “That’s not… what I meant.” “I know. Now I was fucking with you. But seriously, don’t go through that door.” “Why? What’s there?” “I've no idea.” “And don’t you feel curious? I thought knowledge was our muse and mistress around here. It is a fucking library after all, what cou...
