1/22/22 Aaverfier (Part 1)

                                                                           Aaverfier (Part 1)

Aaverfier, a terrible place, where only those with the darkest of souls reside. To get residency in Aaverfier a person has to consciously try to be a bad person. No one can just “end up” in Aaverfier, it is a choice they have to make.

    Aaverfier was created as a way to let criminals be criminals with other criminals. Let them find their own way to coexist in a secluded area away from the good people of the world. Not all bad people go to Aaverfier but the appeal is strong in most, and so the population is ever growing.

    Once in Aaverfier it is a contest...of who can be the worst person. Aaverfier truly defines survival of the fittest. In a land where everyone is trying to be the worst person they can be, if someone can’t hold their own they disappear, very quickly.

    In a chaotic place, dominance defines who is in charge. Respect is hard to earn but well worth it in Aaverfier. People of the land must earn their respect on their own. Getting the help of another shows weakness, an inability to be strong alone. Aaverfier is not a place to find friends, it is a place to make enemies.

    Currently a man named Rifter holds control of Aaverfier; a strong and scary man, with the attitude and self confidence to bend people to his will. He worked his way up to the top on his own and now controls a small army of Aaverfier’s residents. It is hard becoming one of Rifter’s minions. He does not bring just anyone into his inner circle, he finds those strong enough and mean enough to be able to protect him, but not quite strong enough or smart enough to be able to overthrow him.

    Aaverfier goes through rulers like it’s nothing, to hold power for more than a few weeks is rare. Rifter however has been in power for nearly three months. Anyone who has been in Averfier long has the good sense to leave him alone. Many horrible men and women have come barging into Aaverfier ready to take it over. They quickly learn Rifter’s strength; and not just strength but his superior knowledge and use of charisma.

    With Rifter in charge for so long things have begun to change in Aaverfier. He has come to realize the power he holds and has started to try and bring down Aaverfier from the inside; hoarding its food, polluting its water, enough that he and his small group can survive while everyone else starves and rots away. Slowly but surely, Rifter intends to make Aaverfier his personal paradise, where no one is strong enough to stop him.

(Author's Note: When I write these short stories I do not plan ahead at all, I just sit down and write whatever comes to me. I had no intention of this turning into a multiple part story and I’m not even sure how many parts it will have or what exactly will happen. So buckle in because we are all going on a ride.)

4/18/22 The Hypno-Toilet

  The Hypno-Toilet You stare at the toilet water as it spins round and round. All sense of time is gone as you are mesmerized by the swirl. It is not very fast or harsh, just a steady flow of circling water. The soft swishing noises are so calming and all you can do is stand and stare. A loud buzzing noise, tries desperately to alarm you of the damage being caused to the septic tank. Slowly the tank fills up higher and higher with the wasted toilet water. You cannot hear the alarm, you are too entranced by the water in the bowl.  As the water level rises in the underground tank, the alarm continues to blare. The little pump works as hard as it can, but without your help, it is helpless. The thought of leaving the bathroom hasn’t even crossed your mind. All that flows through your brain is the soft swirling water.  The toilet water consumes your thoughts, nothing else matters to you anymore, only the water. You aren’t even sure why it is happening, the swirling water is nice yes

12/25/22 Paper Floor

  Paper Floor Boxes, bags, and wrapping paper were scattered across the floor. It was hard to step on just the carpet without getting some form of paper on your foot. It seemed like the floor was completely covered and the mess would be impossible to clean.  The next day the mess stayed, no one cleaning it up. The day after that and the day after that, nothing was done about it. The carpet was no more, it was just trampled wrapping paper and squished bags. Years passed, they forgot what the carpet even looked like in the living room. They had grown so accustomed to the paper, it just felt right now. They didn’t miss the carpet and didn’t mind the mess, and so the wrapping paper stayed, on the floor, forever. The End 12/25/22

9/22/22 We the Dreamers

  We the Dreamers We the dreamers, we the inventors, we the artists, we who wish for something more than what we already have, we create. Sometimes our creations are logical and possible. But other times we delve into the impossible, the dreams we wish would come true.  Anything can come from nothing if you dream hard enough. Everything already came from nothing, first there was nothing, and then there was everything. We continue on to make everything, even things that don’t exist.  The physical creations and the theoretical dreams alike, leave us striving for greatness. It makes us want to be better than we are, more than we can be, even if it is just a dream. Our brains are powerful, wonderful, amazing devices that let us learn and explore and create. To create, be original, discover or come up with something new, that is what we do. We the dreamers make the world a more interesting place. The End 9/22/22
