Tonight, I Wasn’t the Only One Who Was Lost
You know those nights, don’t you? The ones when life gets a bit too real and when you can’t sleep because your head’s heavy with questions. What’s the meaning of life? What am I even doing here? Where do I want to be in ten years? Yeah, those. With a ...
Condom Run – How Getting Rubbers Saved My Life
Bringing a hot girl to my dorm room was not something I ever expected would happen to me. I’m not the popular type, never was. Hell, I’m a freaking nerd! Making out, however, felt great. Her lips were so soft, her kiss sensual, but domineering. She pushed me onto the ...
Night Cleaning
If you’d ask me ten years ago where I’d see myself now, it definitely wouldn’t be working at a cleaning company. No, I’d tell you I’d run my own successful business. I had high aspirations when I was younger, and I even dropped out of school to choose some vague, ...

The Rules – Instructions on How to Succeed at Cat Sitting

I Was Offered 100.000 Euros to Beta-Test a New Piece of Virtual Reality Technology – Final Part
As I sat up in the grass, I realized that it had all been fake. The entire second reality, the insane Kitagawa and even the supposed brain damage I was suffering from. It had all been another part of their simulation. I grew angry before rage overtook me. “The fuck ...
I Was Offered 100.000 Euros to Beta-Test a New Piece of Virtual Reality Technology – Part 2
“What the hell are you talking about?” “You arrived here at our Munich facility this morning to test our new immersion rig.” With that, Dr. Kitagawa pointed at a different contraption. One I’d never seen before. It looked almost like a giant wheel a person could be strapped to. A ...
