Ruminations on Eternity Topic: The Definition of EternityRuminations on Eternity by ~2sidedmind322
The way someone describes eternity is something that can be many different things to many different people. But the definition itself is time without beginning or end, or the state of something (generally used to refer to time) being eternal and never-ending. The nature of how time works this way is incomprehensible. If there is no beginning, how did it start? Where did it start? When did it start? Also, why did it start in the first place? Or was there never a start, making the time we are experiencing just a prelude to something else, thus meaning it is just the natural state of things before ch

Codenames
Day 1
I'm finally starting work today at "The company" (They don't want me to even speak it, let alone write it, so for now, I will just call them "The Company"). Aside from the worksite's relative seclusion from the outside world, it seems like a great place. There's a lake just a couple hundred yards from the barracks and a forest with a giant oak tree in the center of it. I have no idea what the outside of the place is like though, since we were brought to the facility in the back of cargo trucks- not my preferred travel method. They then proceeded to assign us all codenames and tell us we would no longer use our real names, no

The Odyssey poemThe OdysseyThe Odyssey poem by ~2sidedmind322
King Alcinous, if you would please,
Spend some time to listen to me.
I am Odysseus, conqueror of Troy.
Whom back in Ithaca left my wife and my boy
20 years I've spent, trying to return to them now,
10 years in battle, 10 years at the bow.
From Troy we sailed, and made land on Ismarus.
But while my men feasted, the enemy saw us.
The Ciconian army, in on horseback they rode,
While my men held their ground, ever too bold.
Many good men were slaughtered, from dawn to nightfall.
And once we boarded our ships, for each one we raised a call.
Now a storm began to stir, of ship-wrecking strength,
So we pulled into a lee, and

Horror Movie Survival RulesHorror Movie Survival Rules by ~kennydied911
1) Never be the ditzy blonde girl that almost everyone hates
You
will die. She is usually completely useless and is one of the first
ones to die. ( Like Sakura in the first season of Naruto.)
2) Never go into the woods
You will die, most likely by falling over a rock. Or tripping over your own feet trying to escape.
3) Don’t go into the spooky, abandoned house
It’s better to sleep in the car and wait for morning. You would most
likely end up trapped in that house as you die one by on. Remember, all
creepy houses have a bad history, it’s a fact.
4) Never, ever say “ I’ll be right back.”
Odds are, you won’t come back. And you will die as soon as you leave.
5) Double tap
Never assume the monster/killer is dead, it’s probably faking. Shoot it a few more times. Make sure it’s dead.
6) No high heels

The Legendary Thunder WolfThe Legendary Thunder Wolf:The Legendary Thunder Wolf by *WordOfChen
In the darkest of times his tale is told.
The Thunder Wolf of legends old...
He came from the mountains on a stormy night
To save the Lycans from a dire plight...
Our race was young and growing still
Born into the world by Luna's will.
She gave us hearts of the purest light
And told us that the world was bright.
But Luna was a child, small and naive;
She saw the good in which she believed.
Sadly for us, we lived the truth;
As we were hunted for fang and tooth.
Knowing nothing of weapons or war
We were slaved and broken to our very core.
It was then that he came, hammer in hand
And he swore to us to
