Abinmo & David
Abinmo had just finished his final probing of his human subject. The machinery of the Human Analysis 5000™️ (New Millennium Edition) sighed as the various pneumatic tubes relieved their pressure and pulled out the ends of each probe from every opening larger than a space quarter of the human's flesh. A simple bag and tag … Continue reading Abinmo & David
The Worst Trail Guide Ever

I can picture it now: a young hero or heroine is facing an identity crisis while their mother is out every full moon fighting hunters, their father is a … Continue reading Recessive
Sad Sack of Flesh
Dana used to love the smell of coffee shops. The way the aroma of the freshly grounded beans just filled the air was like a cozy blanket by the fire to her. They where places she could go in times of comfort. Even during the outbreak just seven months ago she had holed up in … Continue reading Sad Sack of Flesh
