  In the wooded countryside of Oregon, a teenage boy rode his mountain bike along a scarce trail. It was a night in the middle of July, and the boy, Darrel, had headphones on with only one earphone on an ear. Techno music flooded in the phone, seeming to fill the forest with nonexistent light and energy. Darrel lowered his left hand to MP3 watch on his right wrist and tapped a button. The music faded out and was replaced by a weather forecast read out in dull monotone.  "Meteor shower projected to begin in five minutes. Large cloud of iron shrapnel and small asteroids approaching atmosphere at 200 KPM. Predicted duration one hour."  Darrel

  The boy appeared to be asleep. A girl crept up on him slowly and deliberately. She stealthily stalked through the underbrush with a bloodthirsty grin. She halted just at the edge of the clearing, glanced about, and tiptoed forwards--  "Oh shit!"-- before tripping on a root and vaulting face-first into the ground.  "Hello, Chanceler." the boy glanced down from his hammock. "Quiet today, are we?"  "Damn you, Kyle." Chanceler was picking herself up off the ground, dusting off her hands on her black jeans, and pulling twigs and leaves out of her shoulder-length auburn brown hair. "How's the outdoorsman today? Shoot anything yet?"  Kyle nod

     In the late 1700s, Count Rumford created his "kinetic" theory of heat. His theory detailed that heat was generated by molecules slamming against one another, so it was just another form of motion. Until then, the prevailing belief was that of the "caloric" theory of heat. "Caloric" was a theorized substance pervading all matter, possessing no mass and no volume, but being inherently hot. the heat of any object was supposed to be dictated by the amount and concentration of caloric in the object. As it is, both theories hold some merit. Caloric is the medium vibrated by kineticism, a constant movement caused by gravity and aggrava

                “It’s six fifteen, good morning, and thanks for waking up to one-oh-three point six FM, BRO103. We’ve got a phone-in request from Jimmy in LA. He’d like to dedicate this song to his girlfriend, Maria. I’m DJ Scratch, and here’s Basshunter with his hit single Angel in the Night.”                A fourteen year-old boy groaned from his bed, rolled over, and threw his pillow at the source of the sound. The only result was a momentary muffling as the pillow struck his clock radio-- which was bolted to his bureau. He rolled out of bed, landing softly on his thick carpeted floor, and

I awoke to a quiet pinging noise that quickly petered off into nothingness. Quickly sitting up, i glanced out the east-facing window, and then to the metal tray with a half- melted, still-burning candle and a silver nail. The sun had not yet risen, and the sky was still dark Uchiha blue, with a thin golden band along the horizon, where the sun would soon rise. Today was the day i had been training towards, the day of the genin exams. I had risen particularly early to get some final training in. I stepped out of bed fully clothed, and reached for my ninja pack and kunai holster. Not a single tool made a sound, as the pack was packed with cloth

"So…" "Yeah, wow." Kyle and Chanceler were trying to come to grips with the fact that they suddenly both had large, seemingly magical swords and glaringly obvious arm tattoos. "Eh…" Kyle began, "our moms'll be pissed." "Ya think? I can hear it now; 'did Kyle take you to get a tattoo!? You shall never speak to him again!' and then my dad 'What an… interesting tattoo. Don't rob any stores or anything, if you do, they'll know exactly who did it.'" "I don't know about you, but sooner is better with my mom. Time to face the music." "Yup. Nice watch." "Oh, this? I got it… WHAT THE CRAP!" Kyle was staring at his w
