One shot n°2: The toy

In a dark castle, a woman was sitting on a black throne. Her black hairs were long enough to touch it.

She was around forty years old, though she looked younger, and was dressed in black. On her legs was a boy. Her hand was slowly moving, caressing his hairs.

The boy had a huge broadsword, still dripping with blood, in his right hand.

The woman said:

-Boring… This toy is boring.

After a while, she added:

-Kill yourself.

Without a word or any sign of hesitation, the boy

I loved that woman back when I wrote it, and I still do. I really want her to be the protagonist of a story I write in the future.

It was secretly built by the galaxy's government to study other galaxies' technologies and develop new weapons to use to gain an advantage against them. The Milky Way's Union technological disadvantage was well known by humans. This is why its existence was made secret. She turned at a corner and stopped to take her breath.

In this age, the use of papers for such a thing would be thought to be backward, but the ancient way of saying things stayed. After a few hours, his eyes left his work and he put his head between his hands. He had a huge headache. Code Zero was only to be deployed in case of extreme urgency. Only if all other officers were already sent, and no fallback plan could be issued. It wasn't because this man co

The general sighed and sat. There was only one game in his office. -You're doing the IQ game, right? -Intergalactic greetings, general! It was supposed to be nothing much than a basic exercise to test the IQ. He bought it to get the distracted Code Zero to do it. Sadly, the inconsistent results proved that like most things of that type, it was a scam. Currently, Code Z

That means that even at school, they must have been hidden among the students and teachers. And this time, they seem to be well-hidden. Maybe it took them a bit of time to adapt to the environment… Five teachers of the school, including two of mine, are ill. Due to the pressure of the loo

I put down my stuff, and join her after-school snack. -Oh, by the way, wanna eat something particular today? I turn around. It was my voice, but it didn't come from me. Turns out that one face is sticking out from the kitchen's entrance, and it's mine. Well, not mine per se, but mine.<

      Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck… I'm late! Who thought I'd sleep through my alarm clock… I hurry up, get dressed, and leave my room. I'm late by almost 4 hours. As I get down the stairs, I seriously consider the utility of actually going. I have about 6 hours and a half of courses in the day. Minus 4 hours it makes it down to 2 and a half. Minus the time to eat, and the 30 minutes to walk all the way there, it would eat 1 more hour into it. In the end, is it worth walking 1 hour in total to have 1 hour and a half of courses?

      How troublesome… Lately, it seemed to be the only thought getting through his mind. As the Secretary of Defense of the United States, he was supposed to have some level of authority, but, with the recent events, things had too much of a tendency to be out of his hands. With supernatural matters that could threaten national security visible to the public, he felt like he visited the President's desk more than his own. It could almost be seen as enough to warrant the creation of a highly secure internal mailing system, if such a system wasn't deemed to be eventually broken through. In fact, it could be observed that he was seen in the White House than the cans of coke the president kept drinking. Today was no different.

      She wasn't feeling much. In fact, both her senses and awareness were limited, for she was currently part of a gigantic mass of flesh. She was right at the center. Maybe it was because her individuality was slowly disappearing, but she had a small moment of clarity. Right as her zombie part was slowly integrating into a greater consciousness, her human side, which had disappeared ever since she became a zombie, reappeared. As her reason came back, it was hit with a truckload of memories, and she was met with horror. It wasn't just what she became or what she did, but also where she was. She could only see darkness, she could hear nothing, she could only feel a wriggling wall of flesh all around, as if she was bathing in it. Give me a word I'll make a world

As the day was going, it didn't take long for me to know that nothing was done about the zombies. Seeing how difficult my choices are becoming, it is likely that my sister is faced with considerably difficult choices too. Preventing negative consequences might not be the best way to deal with things. Sometimes, doing a trade-off might be better. Of course, I have no way to know if my sister also has choices and not another form of using her angels, but it doesn't change the fact that I trust her ability to pick the best path. If she decided that sacrificing Sydney was necessary, then I trust her. While I might be a bit short-sighted, I believe she has t

      Some news

      Over the past 4 days, today included, which is when I usually write this novel in the week, I've not written anything. I've been a bit out of it lately, and while I've had reason to attribute it to fatigue up to now, as I was genuinely constantly tired, I've had time to sleep more since then, and I'm still not better. Overall, I feel a lack of inspiration, and a lack of will to do anything. I've still been able to pump out quite a few good chapters, but I think I reached the limit. I know it sounds sudden, but I'm going to take a break for a short while. Back in June was when I started writing everyday for my various novels, after a month, I was a bit burned out and took a break. I then was back 3 weeks later and have been since then. Originally, it was more about testing my limits, and it turned into an habit, but I still think I should still stay within the bounds of being well enough to write quality chapters. Anyway, less than a month ago, I was g

      If something in this world deserved to be called a monster, the gigantic pile of flesh currently going through Sydney was definitely the one. After all, it wasn't figuratively, but literally going through Sydney. Sydney wasn't the capital of Australia, but it was definitely its biggest city by population. A position that it would definitely lose to Melbourne after the current disaster striking it is finished. If it is ever finished, and if there is any way to compile the body count. Meanwhile, the prime offender was absorbing people at an extremely fast rate, as it was storming through the city. It was rolling through the city. Yes, rolling. Whatever it was, the collective entity quickly understood that rather than focusing on

      Volume 10 - re:D.D. (18) - Warp Drive

      When talking about such an elusive concept as a Warp Drive, there were multiple areas of expertise that needed to reach a certain level to develop one.Of course, science fiction, which was originally inspired by science, had now long turned around and influenced several generations of scientists and physicists. And so, a lot of people already worked on it. While saying it was your main domain of research would attract scornful glares, and some did attract such glares since 1994, but working on a few papers several times in your career wasn't a problem.In fact, the implications of warp drives on the current model of quantum physics made it a pretty interesting research subject for various specialties.And this was why, when in early 2021, a paper proposed a theoretical model for warp drive, it attracted a deep inte
