Squished

A WORLD REBORN

The universe, as we knew it, met a rather undignified end. Not with a whimper, but with the Big Crunch—a cosmic act of divine indigestion that squashed everything back into a primordial, infinitely dense point. From the perspective of Old Man Quasar, a perpetually cynical black hole who relished the ultimate cosmic punchline, to Bartholomew, a ridiculously self-important red giant who absolutely refused to believe it was happening, the universe’s grand finale was, predictably, a complete chaotic mess. But out of that monumental squish, something entirely unexpected happened: a reborn world. This is the story of that rebirth, narrated by the same jaded, gossiping, and perpetually annoyed cosmic entities who witnessed the original cosmic burp and humanity's baffling rise. As the new universe (or perhaps, a vastly condensed, recycled version) begins its peculiar expansion, our celestial observers find themselves grappling with familiar, yet strangely altered, elements. And at the heart of this reborn cosmos lies a familiar blue-green planet, seemingly recreated from the cosmic dust of its former self, with echoes of its most peculiar inhabitants—the carbon-based pests known as humans. "A WORLD REBORN" is a side-splitting, irreverent journey through cosmic cycles, where the universe's most profound collapses lead to its most absurd beginnings. Will this new world, and its potential new inhabitants, learn from the past? Or are they doomed to repeat the same petty squabbles and digital distractions, all while the celestial choir watches on, placing bets on when the next "Big Burp" (or crunch) will inevitably occur? Prepare for a hilarious, existential roller-coaster through the cycles of creation and destruction, where even the end is just another beginning for cosmic chuckles.

Runaway Romeo

Warning, no one under 17 read, it will contain bloody and gore. ---- "Ahhh! It's a monster!!" "Don't go near it, it will kill you." "What should we do!? It looked at me!" People look at me like I'm something gross. I didn't want to become like this... I wanted to be normal too. "Die!!" When I walk on the street, rocks fly at me. "You're gross, stay away!" When they see my face, they run away. "Go away!" Mean looks are always pointed at me. I went into the house to get away from them. "Get out right now!" That person's blue eyes and my eyes used to be the same color. I really hate my silver eyes that changed color. "You monster!!" "I should never have had you!!" A face that looks just like mine. Not long ago, the words from this person's mouth were kind and gentle... Everything changed completely from that day. I get hit and kicked. Maybe it was wrong for me to be born. ────── ──────── ────────── "I'm [******]. Nice to meet you" "Your name from today is '[*******].'" The short man looked at me with warm eyes. "Nice to meet you, '[******].' From today we're best friends!" "Me? I'm [[*******].]." The boy with blue hair is my first friend. "You are my son." "You're not alone anymore, okay?" The woman with kind eyes gives me warmth. "Oh, so you're his best friend! Then I'm your best friend too!!" "Let's go, '[[*******].]'! There's a really cool place over here!" The boy with red eyes is my second friend. ────── ──────── ────────── Blood... blood... blood. A red pool. The cold body of the red-haired boy. The boy's red eyes, open wide and blank. Next to him, standing and smiling evilly—a demon. ────── ──────── ────────── Dead bodies, dead bodies... dead bodies. When I woke up, there were piles of dead bodies all around. And a dark red sea of blood with blue in it. Squish... Something sticky and awful on my hands. When I looked, my hands and body were covered in dark red blood. ──── ──────────

Moonshine made me blind to this pyramid scheme (BL)

Mani had a lot of secrets. Hiding in his office, he pretended to be someone he was not until his safe space disappeared in a day. Coworkers that he ignored for years pulled him along to participate in saving their world. None of them knew what they were doing, yet they marched forward together. Once out of his shell Mani stepped into the greatest adventure of his life. (Included: mature topics of young adults self discovery, middle age identity crisis, and senior citizen moonshine addiction. Consider yourself warned.) *** Mani swirled pink liquid in his cup "This is called a moonshine right? Moonshine.. it should not make us blind right?" he drank it while still pondering pros and cons of drinking it in their current situation. "Well, did not make me blind," Yax offered his expert opinion "and I've been pilfering it from my dad since like.." he really could not remember, seemed like forever already. He reached to get another bottle and tumbled all the empty ones to the ground. Cid pulled him back by his shoulder "Sit down, I'll do it." he refilled Yax's cup on the right and Mani's cup on the left, then filled his own in the middle. With closed eyes, he enjoyed strawberry aroma wafting up from this holy drink. Mani bravely emptied his cup "Did we really saw it back there" he whispered from left "it was so much bigger than.." he trailed off in search of proper example. "Yep, we saw it" Yax's answer came from the right "it was absolutely huge." Mani leaned over Cindy and looked at Yax seriously "Do you think we will need magic to move it?" He did bring along his beads. Yax also leaned over to give his most serious answer "Naah, it should have an engine somewhere in there to move it. I heard" he looked around carefully and whispered so only Mani could hear "my dad said it's technology so ancient that it was sealed away, to keep it safe. It's better than magic." At the other side of their campfire, Ivory huffed while trying to snatch last bottle of holy moonshine from Jone who gently pushed him back while seriously stating "All technology at certain point starts resembling magic to those who do not understand it." "Hear, hear" Blaze confirmed from his spot on the ground with one hand waving up and showing a peace sign for some reason. Next to him, twins were out and snoring already. Mani pursed his lips and looked up into the sky. He could not see any real moonshine, leaves blocked the sky, but it should still be up there somewhere. He still hoped to get some magic, it would be awesome to get some real superpowers. He hiccuped, while leaning on Cindy next to him. Well, he kinda did have some already, or those do not count? Yax leaned fully on Cid, snuggling. He had to admit some parts were rather mystical. Like this holy potion. Or Mani. Mani was most definitely something magical. But he is not going to say it. And no one can know what he thinks to himself. He grinned, satisfied by himself and his skill to keep secrets. Squished between two drunks, Cid rolled his eyes, there goes Yax, spilling the beans to whoever wants to listen his 'secret thoughts'. Not like anyone was sober enough to pay any attention. "Time to end this party." Cid said while standing up and dragging Yax towards the tent he shared with Ivory. "Tomorrow is another day where we have to rise up and do our best to save the world." Even though he knew that all they were saving is themselves. And their friends. Well, that is his whole world, really. The forest was silent, darkness was endless, beasts were hiding. With closed eyes and half asleep, Blaze was sure that he can hear gods above laughing, louder and louder from that abyss they call home. ...___...
