Ethan cautioned, 'Watch out-a!' Samuel ducked and slipped into the doorway with Ethan, escaping the night patrol. Ethan unlocked the basement door with his master key.

They had traveled to Naples to research the Castle dell' Ovo and its legends. They were working on the myth about Virgil putting the magical egg in the foundation of the castle. Samuel ...

Sam threw an empty can at Tom, "Dork, pass me the popcorn." In a dull demeanor, Tom continued to surf through Netflix, ignoring Sam. Sam yelled, "Hey, fart-face, Can't you hear me?" Mike interjected, "Tom doesn't listen to jackasses." Mike then hooted and laughed, making Sam's face red with embarrassment and anger. Milly stood up, "Cut it off, guys," and passed popcorn to Sam. Mike jeered, "I present to you all the mother of our group, Milly." Milly made a hopeless attempt to fake laugh and replied, "This mother was there when yo...

Mrs Anna placed the fresh cookies in a blue jar and kept...

Nate reported to his superior, Dion, "Mission was a success, sir. Our satellites were successful in deploying the bioagents across the EU. At their present rate, they should infect the entire Union within 42 days." Dion stroked his beard and then said, "The infection rate isn't sufficient. Can we amp it up?" Nate looked at its consoles and tried adjusting the parameters. "I have increased the infection rate by 95%. It is the best I can give." "How long before it infects the entire targeted region?" "By my calculations, it can be anywhere nea...
Helga stared at her reflection in the pool of water on the pavement. She kept running her hand on her head and imagining her beautiful tresses, the ones she so adored. She then felt her stomach and the large cut underneath her T-shirt. Sighing, she walked away. Winona was looking out her window, every day she saw a girl peek through the fences and into her garden. She saw her again, doing the same little routine. Getting up on her tiptoes, peeking through the fence, and then sometimes even jumping with the help of it to get a better view. &n...

TW: death, implied genocide As I look on to the setting sun and my best friend, stranded all alone on this once inhabited island, there is chaos in my mind that cannot be reigned. After what we’ve been through in the past 24 hours, I can proudly say we can handle probably about anything in this world. How did I get stranded here? It is a question for which I now know the answer. The past 24 hours had started with me and my best friend, Daniel ‘Dee,’ ending up mysteriously on this island ‘Maqui’.
