Bus Ride
A woman in a bright pink jacket boards a bus. Her eyes are completely hidden by her sunglasses, and her head being covered by a brown beanie. She paid the bus fair with two one dollar bills, and sat across a man in a dark hoodie with a serious five o’clock shadow.
After the bus started moving again, she began to strike up a conversation with the hooded man. She seemed casual, talking about the weather and her experiences at work. However, her face was sweating despite the below freezing temperatures and her eyes were darting from left to right. It looks like she’s scared of something.
Around half an hour later, the wom
Okay, I can see three walls from here, and they each seem bent toward me. Turning around, I find two more walls; that would make this room pentagonal. The height is unremarkable: probably about the 8-and-a-half feet as my own bedroom. The length from end to another is also like my own: roughly 13 feet across each way. Unexpectedly this wall to my right is covered in posters of some nice looking swimsuit models (female and male). I wonder... did they seriously put these up to distract me or is actually part of the hint-finding? I'll just get back to it if I hit a roadblock.
After raising my right arm to unnecessarily check the time,

Dead Trust: Lying Monsters Another Preview
I wanted to give my trust to a great friend of mine but as time goes on, its impossible to stop caring about someone that once made you feel like a great friend and now I wanted to go back in time and see that person once again. During a time that we were not really enemies he and I were great friends but he wasn't the only friend I wanted to see again. I wanted to see her again and the reason why? She claims to be a monster but I never believed she was one, she's too kind to actually hurt someone and I just hope I can find her again. Its just too impossible, I thought to myself. I know I can't give up faith and hope I just...can't get her ou

Been a while, hasn't it. Four days in fact. It took some doing, but I eventually got back into the swing of my normal life. The day after getting home was the hardest. I had to go to the bank, take some more money out, convert it into more change and buy another backpack. This meant I had to miss another day of school. Mom and Dad were called after I had "ditched" two days of school and they had to talk to me for a bit over the phone. I played along and told them I had been sick. It was sort of true. I did have have to deal with being immensely sore in my legs and feet for a while. But the least hardest part of the first day

Tai Kumo
High in the encapsulating mountaintops of a rugged frontier exists a world reclaimed by wilderness. Caustic, corrosive air keeps humans away from whatever of value may still linger in the lost land. On earth untrodden by others of their flesh and blood, a pack of ghostly children - once inhabitants of the valley-village below - patrol the inhospitable world. Each child has a name that now goes unspoken by their past families; all except for the Unknown Child, the very first to call the mountain home. Children are warned by their families to stay far from the border, or else risk being spirited away like their siblings, cousins, and

Part 1
For Alice , that morning seem like any other. The young woman was a famous stuck actress widely known around the Internet community. After having breakfast, she went out to the mail box and found at her front door, a package without name or address. It was a cardboard box the same size of a PC desktop and about the same weight.
She opened the package and found a heavy square plate about a foot wide and quarter inch high. It was all coated in some yellow rubber substance. The plate had holes near the corners. On two of them could be seen cut wires coated in rubber like they hold the plate when i
