I've heard of quarter life crises. They're like midlife crises, but earlier. I have been putting serious thought into whether or not I'm having one. I've had to admit to myself that the answer is "no", as much as I would like to be able to define myself that easily. Gloria sat in the back of the car. Why did she have to sit in the back?I liked her where I could see her. There had been that one afternoon when we were kids, standing in the cornfield out behind Sam and Gloria's house. The sun was sinking behind the forested hill and the long thin shadows of the cornstalks were growing longer and thinner. The dry, rickety stalks made it imposs...

Part 1 of 2 WARNING Contains slash. Don't like, don't read, don't tell.*~*~*~*~*~*Parting from his group a now lone figure strode though the remnants of what had once been a beautiful city, a beautiful planet, at least for Cybertronian standards. For quite a few alien species Cybertron must have always been an ugly, even life threatening globe without vegetation and barely any oxygen in the atmosphere, but for every Cybertronian, Autobots and Decepticons alike, it had been just the perfect place since the very their races came into existence. It wasn't just because it was very similar to its inhabitants – made of metal, wires and similar t...

PART 4 - A STEP FORWARD Warning: A lot of cursing and slightly graphic themes. Follows chapter 5 of my "Lance Corporal" fanfiction. QUEEN OF SPADES - Levi x OC The first real problem we had happened when she felt that she should somehow provide for us. Being a child, there wasn’t really much that she could do – so she went for the easiest solution. She has started to steal. It wasn’t a big deal – what she was stealing was mostly some useless crap - trinkets from those far richer than us.I had no idea where she has gotten the idea, but she has started pick-pocketing, and I didn’t even notice. Not until I came home one night a found a bundle...

This is probably the first writing assignment in a long time that I’ve enjoyed writing because our teacher gave us the option to write it in English. It’s been so long since I’ve gotten to do anything in English so you better believe that I’d jump on that opportunity right away. But this particular assignment is special because we’re going to put them in a envelope and mail them to ourselves in the past. The day right before the aliens take over.Oh, sorry, spoiler alert.I should probably backtrack a bit, since I’m going to be reading this whole thing in the past. I am currently in my second year of Neptunian Language Arts because I’m still...

It had been several weeks since the start of school, the class hadn’t gone through anything particularly unusual after their first test in the jungle, but nobody was complaining, they had enough on their plates with just their normal coursework. Every third day was a physical training hardcore workout day that the class was required to come to school early for, with strength training in the early morning, followed by cardio in the morning and early afternoon, then they did quirk training after lunch. By the end of the day nobody went home without having been pushed to their absolute limit and beyond.In the so-called “rest” days between the...

Coruscant. An entire planet flooded by traffic, buildings, and millions of species cover the endless multi-layered city world. However, this lively world would receive an unwelcoming awakening. Penetrating through the atmosphere, a heavily damaged Republic assault cruiser rips itself apart in a blazing speed like Applebee’s To Go entrees. Over the horizon, many citizens gawk into the awe as they witness a triangular capital ship shedding off its pieces like slices of burnt pizza. Which is the epitome-potamus of bad. It smashes through twelve low income apartment complexes, eleven domestic abuse shelters, ten senior citizens, nine puppy for...

[L/RC] just stepped out of the shower, humming the melody of her latest earworm quietly to herself, when she suddenly was interrupted quite rudely by her mobile phone ringing annoyingly loud.  Like literally every single other phone in the house too.  Even the egg timer rang annoyingly loud. (Maybe it was just her, but all in all it sounded sort of panicked.)  “FRANZ! If this is one of your pranks again, I will ground you for the next month! Also, say goodbye to candy too!” she yelled through the house, stopping the egg timer and answering her phone.  “Beilschmidt”  “Kätzchen!” The voice of her husband sounded oddly relieved to hear her. “...

1) Union of Alondra, 50 A.R.Well, here's something of a dystopia. This is the original era that a few of my OCs including a failed luchador wrestler to name one. It's more or less a fantasy type setting, complete with dwarves or elves but with sub-lightspeed space travel, aliens[1], the occasional horrendous civilizational collapse[2] and quite a bit of shiny high tech instead of the "standard" pseudo-medieval, or the increasingly popular IRL gaslamp fantasy type world.Alondra is a typical terraform colony world, with the usual bad government you see in late-stage civilizations. Alondra's location is an arm not that far off from the galaxy...

In hindsight, Optimus Prime would muse at a later date, perhaps it hadn't been smart to stop at Wheeljack's work space and check up on his latest project on his way to have Trailbreaker look over and fine-tune his rifle.  But it had seemed a good idea at the time -- the Autobot scientist was bright, no question about it, but keeping a close optic on him and his tinkering was important.  Left to his own devices, his inventions and projects could raise no small amount of chaos.Normally he trusted the other scientists and technicians to keep tabs on Wheeljack's projects, but as he scanned the labs he realized that everyone here was too preocc...

"I think I may vomit," Blayre groaned as he watched the couple embrace. "Must you two paw at each other every time I lay eyes on you? It was bad enough watching your little romp in the tent the other day. Your mother must be so proud, Doll."Touko spun on her heels, fists clenched in anger and a light pink blush across her cheeks as the sting of Blayre's words bit at her propriety. "And just how wa—"Before she could continue, however, she found herself being forcefully turned by the shoulders. Confused and taken aback, she practically fell into N's embrace as he pulled her to him. She let out a little, raspy gasp of surprise as he laced h...

Heavy rain pelted hard on very grounds of Hong Kong which began to shook and tremble as a massive form erupted forth from the ground toppling buildings, ripping apart concrete streets, lifting up cars and people into the air as they fell back down to the earth. Those who didn't get caught in the crossfire began to flee in terror.The extraterrestrial menace known as Legion made her presence known as the remaining debris fell off of her very body. This was perfect environment to create her colony and a large flower.With that she got to work. Soon a flower was within place in the city while she began to develop her colony.Up from the skies ab...
