Dead in Seconds

Add caption


He watched as his little girl launched a full on attack on the other kid. Of course, he quickly rushed to the scene to separate the fight. He even chastised his little girl. All that was for show though! He was secretly pleased with her little display. It showed she was going to grow up into a mean, tough sucker. Just the way he liked his girls.
He said a few final words of rebuke and led his little girl out of the school 's premises and into his waiting Lexus car. As they both settled in, he glanced sideways at his little angel and said, in all sincerity and in perfect Russian "eto bylo ochen' khorosho, Natasha. No, pozhaluysta, bud'te ostorozhny."
With that, he drove away from the school and occupied his mind with the latest threat to his life. He wasn't alone of course. Hiding in the shadows and blending with the crowd, were the best bodyguards mother Russia could provide. Of course, the state could not afford to lose him just yet. He had done some brilliant wet work in his day. These days he occupied his time teaching the new "soldaty" the trick of the trade. He envisioned that one day mother Russia would rise to her place of glory again and trample upon American capitalism. He was playing his part quite well. And he was pleased as was the " lidery v verkhnem eshelone" .
He didn't really believe that a threat to his life was feasible, but you never know. He mentally shrugged. It certainly wouldn't stop him from picking up his little "moshennik" from school.
While these thoughts occupied his mind- or perhaps because they did- he didn't see the missile has it launched straight at his car totaling it in seconds. He was dead- he and his little "moshennik"- before he knew death was coming.

The Man Whom Gravity Forgot

Image
Image source: playbuzz.com Michael felt himself lift off the bed. At first he felt panic but slowly allowed himself to relax. He rose all the way to the ceiling and just hung there, in mid air! This wasn't the first time this would be happening. Michael had always had a problem planting his feet firmly on the earth. He remembered vividly an incident that occurred when he was a little- about nine or ten. At the time he had been running to school, excited when he had suddenly felt himself levitate off the ground. He had been so frightened afterwards. When he had mentioned it to his mother, she had simply dismissed the idea, laughing. Afterward, he had not had the courage to mention it again to anyone else. The levitation didn't stop. It came now and then. As a teenager, he came up with different weird theories to explain what was happening with him- maybe he was an alien, maybe he was a science experiment, maybe he was a new kind of human specie, maybe he was the next s...

The Chronicles of an Elite Soldier

Image
image credit: ab7772.deviantart.com It was a dark, dark night. The rain drizzled endlessly. The wind was a raging storm that humbled trees in its fury. Amidst the rain and the wind, a lightning and gliding on the wings of the lightning, a vehicle, an otherworldly vehicle so huge it couldn't be missed, with lights blinking like a million giant stars on its sides. Then there were noises, noises of men, women and children crying, shouting, running about; the honks and crashes of man-made vehicles. People on the streets, on their knees, praying for mercy, for salvation, for a messiah to come. The otherworldly vehicle landed, crushing buildings and infrastructures, accompanied by an earthquake, an earthquake that had never been experienced in the city. Beings of another world, of another existence , came out with weapons that were both deadly and scary looking. They wore helmets, the beings, they did. They were about seven feet in height, agile and athletic and very, very fast....

Till Death do us Apart, Or not!

Image
Image Credit: marriage.com For better, for worse; for richer, for poorer. Those were the words they exchanged on the altar. To stay together till death do them apart, but two years down the line they were already apart and death had nothing to do with it. Whatever happened to the love they professed! The first night had been wide, yes. The following weeks had been great, yes. But six months in, they both started to show their true colors; one was an alcoholic and got abusive when he drank, the other was a constant nagger and got bitter faster than lightning could strike. Their match was not made in Heaven. Far from it, it seemed to have been hatched in Hell. Everything seemed so clusterfuck. Sex became less frequent between the two, and when it did came, it lack the passion it used to have; one man humping vigorously while the woman laid down thinking about that dress she saw on Jumia, totally divorced from the moment. It was little wonder they both look for passion outside, an...

The death of del Castro

Image
The way I heard it, Pierro del Costa was the baddest and meanest gangster in Sicily. He had made his money running weapons to the local Mafias, crime lords and just about every one of the underworld folks you could think of. del Costa was a bad man. Many said he'll die the way he lived; by the gun, but no one knew when, or in what shape death would come. del Costa was untouchable though. Rumor had it, he'd got just about every cop, politician and power-brokers in Sicily in his pocket. Aside from his booming weapons bussiness, Pierro del Costa dealt in drugs, getting his supply from Colombia. The night del Costa died, he had been with a woman; a red-head with a tight ass and perky boobs. He's guides had watch her with interest as she was escorted to his private room. Now, Pierro del Costa was a serial womaniser and a closet alcoholic. The night he died he had been riding the red-head hard, feeling like his head was going to explode. The guides head her scream all the ...

Deadly Confrotation

image source: the13thfloor.tv He pointed his gun at the gloom. He felt himself shudder as he sidestepped the bodies strewn on the floor. He could hear the report of automatic weapons and the screams of cops being mawed to death. A particular scream never quite made it; it began and then was cut off abruptly. He let out a sigh wondering why he was heading that way. He flashed his flashlight and approach as carefully as he could. He knew the creature was right there in the gloom. It loves the night that much he figured. He didn't know what the creature looked like. Well, if I knew that I'll be dead won't I? Nobody's made it back. He approached carefully, trying not to make any sound, which was useless considering he was pointing a light that way anyway. Why was he heading there? He should turn back now and run, run for his life. Get out of there, come on, go, go, go! But he couldn't. He had a job to do; he had sworn an oath to protect the innocent. Yeah? Ho...

Chasing a Lead

Image
image source: abc7.com They both got out of the car at the same time, slamming shut their doors. Larry Stein was the first to get into the bar. He turned his head to face his partner, Susan Wright. "You got us into a yuppie bar". He commented. "I disagree. Not a yuppie bar". She retorted. "Are you kidding? Look at the crowd", he fired back, "definitely yuppie". Susan Wright sighed. The bar was classy. It had some really great vibe about it. There were several men and women- singles mostly- clustered in it; working men and women mostly in their twenties. "Let's just do our jobs". "Isn't that why we are here, Susie?" "Christ, Stein! I told you not to call me that. Jesus!" "Let's not bicker about it. I hate being around yuppies". They made their way to the barkeep who looked them over. Larry Stein showed his ID. "I'm detective Larry Stein. This is my partner, Susan...
