My face lit up with an ear to ear grin, I turned from the pavement to the gravel, my foot slipped, and I promptly fell flat on my face. I heard the gasps from the spectators as I stood up – hands, knees and ego bloodied and bruised – adjusted my smile, limped to the finish line,…

The sun rose up in the almost pale red sky, casting the darkness aside. Most of the creatures on this planet live underground, due to the hostile weather. But the few who live on the surface are doing their tasks. Farming, building, keeping the water flowing and clean, and a few other tasks that are important to life on their planets, but not as important as the Breeding Program. Since the females have long age died out, the males of the higher class started to follow due to the lack of births.…

Ana was short- topping out at 5’ 3”. His short coworker refused to accept her height, often trying to reach plates or cups in high places. She usually resorted to climbing on counter tops to achieve her goal. Michael- who was at least a head and a half taller than her- would tease her about it and show off by grabbing…

Something I’m not used to seeing. He didn’t make a lot of money from his degrading job which was working as an assistant at a local…
