This is set in the same universe as THIs story . The recording above is this chapter, but read aloud. the government of Vernice did not like people who were considered “unsightly.” As a result, they relocated them to a specific area where cameras, phones, and computers were not allowed. They did not want these individuals to be publicized and instead wanted to hide them from the rest of the world. However, they did not remove the tails for two reasons. First, in this country,

In real-world biology, it wouldn’t have been a good idea for Echel to remove the unborn baby’s appendix just because he thought it was “useless.” Here’s why: 📌 Modern Science Doesn’t Call the Appendix Purely Useless It used to be widely taught that the appendix was a vestigial organ with no real purpose — basically leftover anatomy with no function. But current research shows that isn’t the whole story. 🧠 What the Appendix Does (According to Biology) 1. Supports gut bact

An angel, Echel, is building a human baby while his mother, Betty, is playing "Michigan: Become Android," and tells God "Hey, I removed that useless appendix from the baby." God immediately freezes, turns around in the zip of a hat, then asks "Did you?" And "You did what?" Echel says "It was useless, anyway." God says "You idiot! The appendix acts as a storehouse for bacteria that the digestive system needs to properly function. That way after sickness, or consumption of som

I forgot to take my meds , so instead, I washed my hair and started styling it and stuff... So... Them meds lookin' mighty tasty... AS IN I want my mental health to be better, that is! That means I wanna take my meds, not kill myself! I don't wanna pop 'em like candy, if I did that, I'd die! Or go crazy! Either one! I don't wanna overdose, I can't take too many! I'm an idiot... I can't even express myself right... I haven't gone to work in days... Probably got shadow fired...

I have a theory about why infant mortality rates were so high in the past. I remember learning that many babies died during childbirth, and that was one of the reasons the woman who helped establish Mother’s Day wanted to train mothers on proper infant care. Child mortality was extremely high at the time. In the mid-19th century, childbirth was very risky. Many women died from infections after giving birth. A major cause was the lack of understanding about germs. Doctors and

It is a difference, and part of the confusion comes from the way people remember the past. When older people talk about history, they often describe their own experiences and those of the people they knew. If they personally wanted large families, or their friends and neighbors did, it can sound like everyone wanted many children — even though that wasn’t true for everyone. There were several reasons for relatively high birth numbers historically: No effective birth control

In my story Crack , there are angels who put on human bodies . These human bodies have working pheromone receptors. The reason is that the angels wanted to create the perfect human body—something they believed would be fully functional—so they caused themselves to have functioning pheromone receptors. However, when they procreated in human form (which was the original reason for creating those bodies), they accidentally had a child who was only human. Because the bodies were

Men can experience pregnancy-like symptoms—known as Couvade syndrome or sympathetic pregnancy —including nausea, weight gain, food cravings, abdominal pain, mood swings, and fatigue . Affecting 10% to over 80% of expectant partners, these symptoms often start in the first trimester, subside, and may return in the third. [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ] Common Symptoms of Male Pregnancy (Couvade Syndrome) Symptoms can be both physical and psychological, often mimicking the pregnant partner:

Cathy's Point of View 5 weeks later, I don't feel like taking my meds today... 1 day later I just... Wanna lay in bed and do nothing. I don't wanna go to work for that stupid cloning center. I don't wanna be the receptionist that takes calls for that stupid call center. I just wanna go to bed. 3 days later I just... 2 days later I wanna die a bit... 4 days later no meds, today... 3 days later I feel so depressed, but I have no motivation to go and take my meds... I don't wan

Writer's narration A lot of you all want character development and growth in Cathy; This is an origin story. Cathy isn't here to grow; She's here to move along the plot until disaster. When does Cathy get character growth, you ask? When she's on her meds. A teeter totter between sanity & insanity, her growth reverts and becomes naught as soon as she stops taking her meds, her growth progresses and returns when she tasks herself with her meds, her mentality will destabilize u

Cathy's point of view My plan was in shambles . I was stable now, and had decided not to bump off my auntie. She wasn't accepting his advances. She was rejecting him. I have no reason to kill her. I decided to ask my husband for a divorce and give up my kid for adoption to my brother, Bread, since his privates are fried so he can't have his own children. Bread was destroyed when he found he was infertile. Plus, I don't care about what my future ex-husband, Joe, thinks. My chi

Cathy's Point of View (POV) I was walking down the street in the present, enjoying the fine winter. I like the winter. It's got lots of snow, and playing in the snow is pretty much one of the very few socially acceptable forms of fun that adults like me can have. My religion says I can't sleep around, cheat on my cheating husband, drink too much, do stuff in excess, always be careful, etc. While society and culture outside of my religion says I can't play with toys, games, w

DISCLAIMER: Sorry, but I don't endorse none of the ******** Cathy does in this chapter. I endorse NOTHING. Remember that you are not required to look up to her, learn from her, like her, see her as the hero, see her in the right, this is NOT like other stories. The main character IS THE INSANE CHICK. Let's begin: Cathy's point of view I have this knife and I'm gonna put on rubber gloves and electrify the little ***** knife with the electric fence she has and wait until it's e

DISCLAIMER: This is not how the writer feels. This is how the main character Cathy feels. Thank you. Cathy is an unlikeable person and will be VERY rude to a lot of protected people because she's manic at the moment. At some point, she's gonna crash out at the reader. Let's begin: Cathy's point of view I stood in a stupid flat terrain strewn with ugly, strange-looking trees, gigantic grass, and wildflowers. I can see a small body of water to the north and a stupid, ugly lo

In the southern stretch of Florida, along a coastline reshaped by ambition and steel, rose a vast city called Neo-Florida. It was loud, industrious, sunlit, and restless — a place that believed in harvest, industry, and destiny. The people of Neo-Florida often spoke about bees. They admired how bees overproduced honey, how they stored what they needed in one section of the hive and allowed the overflow to be taken without harming the colony. They admired the strange harmony:

DISCLAIMER : I do not endorse anything the main character does. She is evil, and it is okay not to like her. I am not trying to make her likable and she will not have redeeming qualities. Just because she does evil does not mean I am confessing to any crimes, just because she is unlikeable does not mean I am self-inserting. This is the farthest from a self-insert. Let's begin the story: I murdered Aunt Margaret. Before the incident, I was sitting in my room. Livid. I'm Cathy.

They usually do this by telling them to touch electric fences. Children think this is done with no ill-intents or in good fun, the only issue is that people don't normally trick people into touching electric fences without any ill-will towards the other person but SONE kids just blindly trust so much nowadays that someone could literally electrocute you and they'll still say "They didn't mean to hurt anyone..." Here’s why people joking about grabbing wires, touching unknown

I write romance best when I have references to draw from. It’s hard for me to invent a compelling love story in isolation. I need scenes, examples, and real-life gestures to help me assemble meaningful moments. I often borrow inspiration from genuine acts of affection and adapt them into fiction. I’ve done this before—for example, in my Megamind Rules fan project, which I originally intended as a pitch for the actual show. I portrayed Megamind and Roxanne as a tender, devote

If I’m being honest, if someone rejects you, disengage. If you felt “love at first sight” or intense infatuation and they don’t reciprocate, walk away. Your hormones may make it feel like you're in romantic love, but you just met them, so it should be easier to create distance. Don’t keep flirting, don’t stare, and don’t force interactions. If necessary, ask for separate work areas. No one likes having to change their schedule because someone is into them. If you were friends

This contains major spoilers for Detroit: Become Human, and the entire post discusses them. I’m sharing this so you can still enjoy the experience when the twist unfolds. The revelation that Alice is an android was not well received by many players. Personally, I think it’s something worth knowing before you start the game. She doesn’t tell Kara the truth until the last moment, when they’re in Jericho (I won’t explain what Jericho is). I have a theory about why she keeps it s
