Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Why I hate working in a call center: 10 of 36
Once Hell is full, the dead will walk the Earth. Same thing with call centers. I hate working in a call center because it's where the disenfranchised masses must go once the public service industry is full.

Let me paint you a picture of a man: Is immersed in entertainment at a high degree. Television, movies, fantasy novels, comics, games and the internet is their perfect drug. May exhibit high amounts of character and speak of things in almost a passionate way. This man is still an infant to the concept of love. The combinatio... More..

Mentality to fashion sense: Goth is a style that some people adhere to. Yes. Adhere to. Standard issue black trench coat and Jhonen Vasquez inspired clothing patterns.

Food tasted like ashes. Drink tasted like blood. I still can't have the full enjoyment of life. I was twelve when I first met Caine. That was her last name. We always went by last name.

Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Crime: 35 of 44
There was a time in my life which I'm not proud of. It's a time when I was a member of a Triad. Once upon a time, there was a cruel and unjust ruler of China. Taxes on the people were high and the quality of life was low. The written language was intentionally made complex to keep the poor from learning and prospering, while... More..
