Making Connections
He didn’t quite expect meeting the girl from the bar again but it was a pleasant surprise none the less; more so that she actually remembered him. “Peach Boy?” he asked, amused at the nickname given to him. That was certainly a new one.
“Hey, it’s not everyday that someone gives you a damn peach while you’re bar hopping,” She repli...
Chapter 4
Taylor felt like a deer caught in a headlight as she stood there frozen, her gaze locked with the man inside the car. She could see the flash of recognition in their eyes, the way their eyes widened for a moment before they hardened as they clenched the wheel of their vehicle. She wanted to run, she needed to run, yet her foot was rooted to the ground.

She felt bad having to wake up the old store clerk but they were going to be there all day if she didn’t. “Mr. White, I’d like to buy these,“ She spoke out gently as she placed several bottles on the counter. It was nothing much, just a few bottles of culture growth media; things she needed to make more stems cells.

Maybe getting himself imprisoned might have not been the brightest idea. He could have fled instead but then again, that would mean getting chased and he was tired of getting chased.

There will be a 50% increase on the cost of commissions so there will be less words per month for the upcoming commissioners. This wouldn't affect those already enjoying the benefits as those would be grandfathered in.

Ever since Taylor’s mother died, meals had always been a morose affair. There was no longer any warmth in them as the event had merely become a matter of sustenance. This time however, things were a bit warmer.
For the first time since the incident, she found herself smiling and laughing as she and her father reminisce on times gone by. The pain of her ...

Taylor had never been a morning person. She just wanted to just lay down on the well worn indent in her mattress and just stray there. With her blanket wrapped around her like a warm hug, she wanted to tuck herself back in to sleep and just let the world fly by; It’s not like anything would change.
Still, the world would conspire to wake her up as her ey...

With the last bag of bagel sold, the morning rush finally ended. After shooing away the stragglers and closing down shop temporarily, he now had some breathing room.

Can space be both infinitely vast and infinitesimally tiny at the same time? Can something as vast as that of the universe be too small for something inside it? It seemed like a contradiction at first but in the context of infinity, it doesn’t seem all that weird.
As it turns out, there are different degrees of infinity. Something ...

The hardest part of making bread was kneading the dough. Handling small batches was easily but it gets tricky when handling dought that was five, ten kilos is weight. “God damn it, I should have started with smaller batches,” he breathed out as he wiped the sweat of his brow.

He spent the rest of the day with Rebecca. It was just mindless fun, hanging out with her and watching movies together. With each other’s company, they had everything they needed to pass the time.

The day after was… quite. He woke up as Rebecca shifted, holding him closer as the cold breeze of the airconditioning washed over them. He was no stranger to waking up to the twilight sky as he was a light sleeper but it was his first time waking up with someone in his arms. It was strange yet comforting, to feel someones else warmth against himself.
Lilliputian City
Wincing in pain, he stood up and looked around. There before him was a city on fire. The spikes he saw from above turned out not to be mere deadly implements of impalement but actual buildings, buildings that his surprisingly tough body had crushed.
