Title: The Alternate Detective
Rating: PG13

Do not be alarmed, said the stranger who had suddenly appeared next to my chair. We are from the Multiversal Police, and you are in a universe parallel to your own. That I didn't question this statement was due, most of all, to the storm raging outside my living room window; just seconds before I had been contemplating a deep blue sky, weighting in my mind whether or not to go through with my seemingly foolproof plan to kill my wife. Being abducted to a parallel universe seemed to fit intuitively with the meteorologic impossibility outside (although of course a group with the power to move people between universes is also likely to have the power to influence minds as to make the translation seem obviously true).

( To be honest, it was the mention of a Multiversal Police what made me instantly nervous.Collapse )

Title: The Despair of the Ones Who Wait
Rating: PG13
Warnings: Implied violence against children. Unbetaed draft.

( We have been waiting for him for almost two thousand years now. It is the official position of our Order that he will reveal himself at the bimillenial mark.Collapse )

Whew. Half a kiloword feels so *bloated*. If I have to write more of these, I'm going to have to come up with characters, events, dialog, and so on and so forth. *headdesk*

(Topical, although not spoilery beyond the trailer, for the obvious current movie.)

Title: When an Agent Dies

When an agent dies there's no mourning, just the closing of a file. When this agent dies there isn't even that.

The file remains open, and a year later there's a new set of fingerprints, a new face, and the same absence of a past. Nobody knows where the men for the name come from, but only the Queen and the head of MI6 are aware that, literally, nobody knows.

.finis.

(Why, yes, I can write a love story. It has three acts and everything.)


Title: Love's is not a modal logic

( Thesis, Antithesis, SynthesisCollapse )

I've killed thousands of grandfathers in thousands of pasts.

It's easier to erase yourself when you know your parents' real names.

.non finis.

Title: Justice

There can be no afterlife without God. But there still had to exist some sort of retribution. Some balance, even after He left.

I see you don't understand; that's natural. You still haven't done most of the things your nightmares are punishment for.

.finis.

Read the Warning!

Title: Witness
Rating: PG13 + Warning
Warning: May be upsetting or distasteful on religious grounds. If that might be an issue, don't read it.

( I don't believe. I know.Collapse )

Title: Postmonition
Rating: PG13
Author Notes: *handwaves* Not failed as much as just redundant, in this day and age. I need to move forward, although I don't know where.

( Your life is mostly uneventful, mostly not strange, mostly not bad. All in all, there's large number of ways in which it could be terrible, but it's not. You have a relatively normal job, a relatively normal family, and a relatively normal day. No reason to live scared out of your wits like you do.Collapse )

Title: The Orphanage of Curious Kids
Rating: PG13


( It's not its real name, of course.Collapse )
