Takeshi's Tunnel

  The memory of the failed dungeon sticks in Shoto's mind as he leans forward, pulling the black sock up his foot. Not really accustomed to failure, he replays the scenario in his head over and over, thinking about what to do differently the next time around. If the minotaur that submitted him last time around were either distracted or dead that would be ideal, but nothing ever comes easy, does it. Flipping through his wallet, Shoto counts a few bills and sighs; new gear would be nice but this is barely enough for a single piece. Maybe there's something to do in town that pays.  Slipping his shoes on, Shoto jogs out the door towards the center of town, passing by a few shuttered buildings with scratch marks on the wooden planks. After a few minutes of wandering, a building with a large armor stand in front comes into view, sounds of metal hammering on metal ringing through the air. The smell of fire wafts from inside, inviting Shoto through the door.  "Welcome, lad. What c

 Stars twinkle in the clear night sky overhead as you walk along the dirt path back to your house, crickets chirping around you. Visiting your uncle on his farm has been a lot of hard work, but it seems worth it somehow. The chores keep you busy and your mind clear, and working with animals is much better than sitting in some cubicle. You can hear the cows gently snoring in the field as you walk along the fence line, and you stop to watch them for a while. Fireflies dance above the grass, like little lanterns in the air, illuminating the animals for brief moments at a time. Leaning on a post, you listen to the slow breathing of the cows and enjoy the cool night air, watching a falling star streak through the sky. As you think of  a wish to make, the star suddenly changes course and seems to grow larger. After a short while you realize it's heading towards you, and the sky gets brighter by the second as it speeds through the atmosphere. The air vibrates around you and the object app

  "Sigriiiiid!" Sprinting through the lab, Bird the Robot looks frantically for her partner, opening cabinets and closets then slamming them shut.  "Sigriiid! Where are you Sigriiiiid?!"  No piece of furniture remains undisturbed as Bird rushes around the room, blue feathers trailing behind her and knocking over almost everything on the desks. The clank of her metallic feet echoes throughout the lab and into the next room where Sigrid sits, head in her hands. Pulling her goggles off and letting out a heavy sigh, she drags her metal hand down her face, her tired eye rolling in its socket.  "I'm in here, Bird." calling out to the frenzied robot, Sigrid leans back in her swivel chair, letting her feet stretch out as the clanking gets louder and stops in the doorway. "Sigrid! Can I get pregnant?!"  Sighing again, the scientist lets her arms hang off the sides as she tries to find the words to answer. "Are you asking me if you're able to

 Candles burn in each corner of the room, throwing dim light across the floor and illuminating the Ouija board in the center. Sitting under the board is a pentagram, painted onto the wooden slats, inside a circle of salt. A bolt of lightning  cracks outside, sending a flash of white through the window and shaking your apartment from the aftermath, rain pattering through the walls. Flipping through faded pages of the book you found, you check the steps written inside to make sure you have everything. Everything seems to be in place, all you need to do now is wait until midnight and chant the incantation inside the circle. Checking your watch, it reads 2 minutes until midnight, and you kneel carefully inside the salt, making sure not to disturb anything. Sitting patiently, you close your eyes and wait, breathing slowly as the weather rages outside. your watch finally beeping to mark the time. Opening the book, you read the Latin phrases within and prick your finger with a needle, letting

  The Capture Sprinting past boxes and dumpsters in the alley, the smell of wet garbage rushes up your nose as you pass it by, puddles of dirty water covering your shins. Accumulated trash and water fall from the sky as rain washes the gutters clean, but you push on regardless, spurred on by the electronic laughing behind you. Living under Melware's eye is a pain at times, but you were never that affected by it until now. You found a letter in your door yesterday tipping you off to Mel's newest scheme, kidnapping random people and hiding backups of her files somewhere inside their bodies. Usually the victims don't ever find out about it but since you know about it now, Melware has taken it as a game to find and catch you. Turning a corner, you sidestep a man lying on a pile of cardboard, ignoring his annoyed grumbles as you make your way back to the main street. Every street light, camera and electronic sign flashes white, a red eye sliding into view. Off in the distance on

 Walking up concrete steps, you make your way to the front door of a small brown house. Birds chirp and leaves rustle overhead as you knock on the door and wait for an answer. After a few seconds you hear running from inside and the front door swings open. "Hey boyo! How are you doing? Come on in!" your friend Junii pops out from behind the door, pulling you inside and giving you a hug. His arms wrap tight around your midsection, face buried in your chest as he squeezes you. "Hey yourself, it hasn't been that long, right?" returning the hug, you smell his shampoo under your nose as his hair rubs against your shirt. "It feels like forever, so I'm just a bit excited." his arms finally release from around your waist and he catches your hand, leading you into his bedroom.  "So are you ready for this new game? I wasn't sure about getting it but the co-op stuff looked like fun." brushing his finger over his Xbox One, Junii slips in a disc b
