Mop Jockey
The Coffee machine was leaking again. It was always leaking again. The only time it didn’t leak again was when it was leaking still. It rarely had bouts of water retention. The engineer had been called of course, but he never really engineers anything, more like he just fixes a few pipes and mops up a puddle or two. To call him an engineer is a gross over exaggeration. He was more a janitor...

Loss Of Sight
The first day of my life as a blind man was an interesting one by far. It had all started out regularly enough, I woke up, got out of bed and began to make my way across to the curtains to let the light of the day in. My bedroom was usually dark you see, as I live in a well lit neighbourhood and it would often make it nightmare to sleep at night. I grabbed hold of the curtain as usual, and whisked...

The Tribe
The man in the net awoke to the chanting in the cave, disorientated and unaware of the predicament he was in. It looked like he couldn’t see in the dark, he hadn’t been down here long. I saw him brought in late last night, dragged in by the north entrance and hoisted up to the ceiling. This was a while ago, though I am unsure how long as I am no longer able to tell the passing of...

Problem Solving
John placed the cup down onto the table, the aroma of coffee filling his nostrils, circulating the busy café. He carried on reading his paper, but keeping one eye upon the small gentlemen sat in the back corner. He was a small man, with greasy red hair. He’d been easy for John to spot, he would stand out in most scenarios with an appearance such as his. John carried on sipping his coffee...

Deluge
Bills legs began to dabble in the slowly rising water beneath his feet, he grew concerned for the safety of his girlfriend, who seemed blissfully unaware of the danger they were in. She was too busy clambering over the rocks, exploring every crevice for hidden gems she wouldn’t find, marvelling at the sound the water made as it crashed within the confines of the cave.
“Hey Bill, look, look...

Solitude
Needless to say, that life was behind me, in my eyes I was no longer an Arken. It was none of my concern. Aft I had settled into my new home within the woods, my life was indeed pleasant. It felt strange to live to my own terms and no one else’s, to just support myself and not any other soul. I was in paradise, living off the land, hunting wild animals and growing crops to sustain myself. The...
