"It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere…" Actor Craig Charles sat a table in an empty pub, reading through his script. It was a lengthy document he had been given today, and he would rather not have put up with this pressure. But no less than your best was required when you were part of the cast on that famous and popular British soap opera, Coronation Street . To relax himself, he was humming through his head the tune which he had carried with him for almost twenty years...

Chapter 23: Battle of Zelos II Zelos II, the four-mooned homeworld of the Zelosians, was located in the Mid Rim.  The Zelosians were near-humans that were outwardly identical to humans save for the fact that they all had emerald-green eyes.  The Zelos system was a member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, or it was supposed to be.  A Republic invasion force conquered the planet Zelos II’s inhabitants.  It appeared that no help was forthcoming from the Separatist Alliance.  It appeared.     Commander Zako and Dr. Quartz arrived at The Sugar Rush, a strip club located on Zelos II.  This particular establishment caught the attention o...

Adrian Bogo had been called many things throughout his adult life. Gruff being the most popular, routine, demanding, stubborn, and short tempered had been used in that order to describe the large cape buffalo who led the Hopps family security team. A former captain of the Zootopian army, he had opted for early retirement rather then promotion as a change of pace and chance to search for what he felt was missing from his ridged life. He came upon the Hopps family in a way similar to the Wilde family.What should have been a short stay in Bunnyburrow, resulted in a answering the curious advertisement he found pinned to the boarding house bull...

31 DAYS OF HORROR PART II REVISED EDITION Written by Diane N. Tran 19 - DAVID CRONENBERG FILMS One of the great originators of contemporary "body horror" is David Cronenberg.  It's a mistake to describe "body horror" as mindless blood/gore exploitation films; no, that's not what it is:  It is a the "man into monster" story, which is an exploration of corporal transformation and violation, the graphic destruction or degeneration of the body, to an "unnatural" state, whether scientific or supernatural.  It's not only grotesque and terrifying but beautiful and tragic; it's both physical and the psychological — and, with Cronenberg, always c...

Against the Heartless (A Dragonball Z / Sailor Moon crossover)                A chessboard game sits on a short red rock. There are more black pieces than white. A firm wrinkly hand with a gem on the palm picks up a white bishop and moves it across the board. From the opposing side, an equally firm solid white hand with black fingernails picks up a black knight and moves it forward in the required “L” pattern.“Checkmate”, says the tall insect-like humanoid covered in green spotted plates, crossing his arms in front of his black plated chest.“What!?” exclaims the old man with a long white beard and piercing blue eyes, leaning forward to exa...

         Instantly, all the suits sprang into action. Half of them flew right at the Hellbat, their fists drawn back, while the others aimed their repulsors and started firing away madly. Amidst of all that, the Hellbat was hit with repulsors countless times. He gritted his teeth. He hadn’t counted on this many suits unleashing this sort of attack. He quickly activated his own thrusters and flew off the ground, the other suits in hot pursuit. Batman flew across Gotham, a hail of blaster bolts streaking after him. He turned a sharp left, and several of the suits crashed into the adjacent building because of the sudden stop. He looked back ...

_ “SHUT UP, YOU BITCH!” Kevin’s scream, or rather, his roar echoed through the control room and Frank’s office, freezing the other three people in shock. Especially Ben, who stared at his best friend with concern. Kevin’s face was getting red, with a vein pulsing on his forehead. “I can’t stand it anymore!” he yelled as he pulled his hair “Stop whining ‘my family this, my family that!’ Stop playing the victim to manipulate everyone! I’ve put up with you a lot, but I won’t let NOBODY look down on the plumbers – not even Gwen’s mother! Who do you think you are? YOU HAVEN’T THE RIGHT TO TALK TO BEN LIKE THIS!!!!”Natalie couldn’t answer. She ...

My name is Matt Stryker. As in the son of the head of Stryker Industries, to hear Dad tell it, the largest arms manufacturer on the planet. And by "Largest" I mean we build the largest weapons on the planet.About twenty years ago, a strange genetic anomaly began to manifest itself in .001 percent of girls born in "first world" nations, with outlying incidents occurring in several other locations across the planet. We think that it had to do with a batch of tainted infant formula, made by a long defunct company.  As the affected girls, and young women reached late puberty, they would begin to manifest traits of giantism. Nothing serious at ...

02.04 – Making Waves     “So that’s the deal...” The four of them had moved across the city, stopping for a late night meal at a curbside restaurant. The smaller of them had finished; chatting quietly over drinks while the troll presided over a growing tower of empty cartons.  Jasper had ceased to be amazed at Clyde’s appetite, losing interest in favor of Shrike’s nebulous plans for their future.      Even Espy had been surprised at the depths of the blue-skin’s ambition.  He spoke of putting power back into the hands of the people.  He talked at length of separating the ideas of governance from the realities of money.  He spoke of revolut...

Chapter 18: Running, Ruins and Reunion Part II “Ang-Qri is like most backwater Mid Rim planets; no distinguishing characteristics save one. It has a series of temples the ancient Ang-Qris made in their studies of the Force. This has not garnered attention from the Empire. Yet.” - Kasri Bridger to his companion, Rishar Sidanon     The Ghost fell out of hyperspace, the long lines of hyperspace shortening into pinpricks of light. The bright white dwarfs orbiting the blue supergiant somehow managed to outshine the bigger star, bathing the cockpit in blue and white.     “It’s beautiful!” Sabine exclaimed, attentive to color, as always.     E...

Chapter 5:  Lies, Guise and Discord's Prize       The terminally ill Discord observed the window where the Repo Mare's princess remained trapped in her ivory tower. He ordered his chauffeur to drive away for a few minutes; he needed to get something off his mind. She's the spitting image of her mother; well not really, it's just in the eyes and figure, but still! the draconequus pondered as he looked at the rotting city from his legacy and back at the house. A magenta glimmer coming from the window twinkled in his eye. Maybe she could be his new protege in magic. Perhaps, that sheltered princess could be the worthy heir that he'd been lo...

Survivors: The Long Road Chapter 1: Better Scrap the First Impressions -A conference room in Denver, Colorado. “The assets have made it to the second site,” a man reported to a woman in a business suit. She was standing behind several other people seated at computers. “The second site? They were supposed to be heading to Zeichner! Is everyone in this company incompetent?” “Ms. Granat there were problems with their containment and transportation.” “How hard is it to administer sedatives and get them on a trailer to the nearest jet?” “Reports say that their uh, bodies were adapting to the sedatives used and overriding them. The truck made it...

Chapter 8: Ember, You Will Remember! “That’s right, people! Ember is back !” Ember had her guitar out, ready, and was blasting passer-bys with her pink fists of doom. Most of the people were screaming as they tried to find some sort of shelter from the ill-tempered ghost but whatever they managed to find was soon squashed by Ember. This was the sight that greeted the Titans when they managed to get there. None of them had any time with which to categorize their new opponent as Ember saw them and immediately assaulted them with a cacophony of noise. All of them fell to their knees as they held their suddenly pounding temples, their eardru...

While opening the oven to check on the food for one last time, I wondered, desperate, what else my brother would lose tonight. With that pace, he would soon lose our little apartment, too, for sure, the only thing our parents bequeathed to us. It had been a few months he had been losing over and over again, even though he was talented in poker. I was by now almost certain the others were actually cheating. He wasn't playing against any moral people either for me to erase that idea off my head. Playing poker against members of a mafia family undergroup, even if you were one of them, was not wise. But, the years of my brother winning in poke...

One Man's Poison"How are you feeling Piers?" Rollie asked nervously, watching the now pure flying type hobble along behind her and Misha. His eyes were wide, his expression lost, and it took him a few moments to look her way."What?" His ears cocked up high as he processed her question. "Oh! Yes, I'm... I'm all right." He shivered, rubbing a thumb over his pale grey fur. "I feel very... cold."Rollie wrapped an arm around the golbat, snuggling him closer. He smiled sheepishly to her, glancing nervously to Misha. The clefable did not seem to notice; he was studying the bat's oddly coloured fur, rubbing a few strands between his fingers."Well,...

Not too far from the coast of the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, people were busy doing whatever it is they were doing, whether it was shopping, walking from one place to another, or sitting on the streets putting on some form of entertainment. It would all soon come to a halt, though, especially as there were thumps in the ground that gradually got stronger and stronger, with booming sounds overhead. “Peekaboo!” a young female voice shouted. The crowd looked in the distance at the small mountain range where the voice came from, and the crowd’s murmurs grew louder as they watched a young giantess peek her head out from behind Sugarlead ...
