Daily Post - Break

I'm going to take a break from the Freewrites for awhile in favor of hashing out some ideas for new stories as well as work on Men and Giants.

Daily Freewrite - Malevolence - March 17, 2014

Malevolence

Data Log - Entry 104 - Emperor Brom

It is official, humanity has harnessed destruction itself. As I gazed upon the weapon that we created, all I could think of was the havoc we would be able to wreak on our enemies. The starship Malevolence was complete. Utilizing the power of dark matter, we have created a super weapon that is capable of decimating enemy fleets. The Eldarin Alliance would be crushed, and the Terrok Empire would be brought to its knees. Humanity's hold on the Old Eldarin Federation was sound, but this device would cement our legacy for centuries to come. None could stand in our path and survive. Even now, the Malevolence, capital ship of her own fleet,  was on route to Terrok and end the Terrokar hold on that region. The Eldarin resistance would be dealt with soon enough. As I now gaze upon humanity's growing armies, I have no doubt in my mind that we will become the sole power in the galaxy. None shall remain when I am finished.

Daily Freewrite - Forgotten Overnight - March 15, 2014

Just another normal day. I awoke to birds singing, and the sun shining through my window. It was a beautiful day and I had a good feeling about school today. Well better get ready. I had a shower, got dressed and made my way downstairs for breakfast. I walked into the kitchen and said "Good morning, mom," and what happened next was completely unprecedented. My mom shrieked and grabbed a knife. "Who are you?!" she screamed. "What are you doing in my house?! Bill, get down here! There's a strange kid in our house." My dad angrily ran down the stairs. "What the hell is going on?! It's me! Jason! Your son!" "We don't have a son!" my mother shot back. My dad arrived with his gun pointed at my face and told me to get out or he'd shoot. Terribly confused, I ran outside. This was insane and I didn't know what to do now. The only thing I could think of doing was going to my friend Gale's house. I sprinted down my street to his house and when I got there he was just leaving for school. "Gale!" I yelled, out of breath. "Excuse me?" he said. "Gale, when I woke up, my family acted as if they didn't know me and I don't know what to do." That's great, buddy, but I have no idea who you are and you're kinda freaking me out, so beat it." I was in shock. It was as if I had never existed. I had absolutely no idea what to do. I turned around and walked back down the street to see if anyone, anyone at all, knew who I was.

Daily Freewrite - The Last of Us - March 14, 2014

We were told that we were the last. We were told that we were the sole remaining relics of a lost world. They tried to make us believe that The Great War had wiped out humanity and that we would only be safe with the protection of their underground vault. Wow, were we ever naive. The fallacies that they pumped into our minds forced us to conform to their whims, but I had greater ambitions. I, and my partner Thaedra, dreamed of a rebuilt earth outside our walls. I longed for freedom, and I would stop at nothing to achieve it. We had one shot to escape, and that was through the guards at the vault entrance. Thaedra stole a vault code from a guard's desk and we snuck past security to get to the door. We activated the locking mechanism, and the door shifted with a loud creak. It slowly rolled open, and together, we walked out into the supposed wasteland. What we saw, was not entirely unexpected. It was what we hoped for. Paradise.
