    I couldn't believe my eyes, I saw something moving in the distance, and it didn't look like another animal. Although from this vantage point, it seems to be moving away from me. I am not really searching for anything just moving from place to place as I get lonely. I am a loner from before, so I feel like it shouldn't happen, but it seems once I left my apartment with all my distractions, that is the case.           On the last day of humanity, I was home, alone as always, and suddenly all was quiet. I mean, the sounds that I usually hear from the streets below stopped. No horns honking, peopl...iv9one door

    The Pallas

    As the Pallas silently glides across the inky black of space, it places its penultimate card upon the green felt of the artificial poker table. “Uno.” Pallas states, plainly. “If we were playing with actual cards, I would throw them at your face.”  Grumbles Amelia, the captain and sole crew member of the freighter, the Pallas, at her ship’s AI.

    The Earth's Decease

    Everything happened so quick, it felt as if I was living in a movie. I had heard about the Earth has an expiration date but I always thought those were myths. I never actually believed in the world ending. A huge surge of wind came towards me and everyone continued to run. The planet was eradicating and there was no escape. I grabbed the nearest traffic pole and held on as tight as I could. I closed my eyes so tight, almost as if I thought that was going to end everything. When I slightly opened them I turned behind me and I noticed a long item was quickly approaching me. Before I knew it I w...iv9one door
