So, all the entries:
Domithian:
You're going, now. It's time. There is no choice, it's time.
It's time to watch villages burn and friends die.
Take this rifle and this knife. You're going to use them.
You'll think of your life and all its shortcomings just before you die.
Yes, that is your destiny... conscript.
Voh:
Found in Space
I expected many things when I was chosen as the first human being to experience FTL travel. Hardships, things going wrong. Hell, I even expected to die. What I hadn't expected was this. None of the 'scientists' who had instructed me, had tried to explain what an FTL drive actually does, had seemingly known this was a possibility. Yet here I was. And so was I. Staring at one another.
“So, you broke through the dimensional rift in that thing?†I said.
“I guess I did.†I said to my other self, glancing sideways to the now smoldering FTL drive.
Atelier:
My love has no limit, but my words are running out.
Do you remember that day in the snow, when you held out your hand to me? I see you now, holding out your hand to me. Your eyes were bright as stars, and your gaze melted my heart; then the clouds rolled over, and I fell into an abyss. I still scale the walls; abound with razor rocks of my own creation. Soon I will sit and dissect my dreams, in my disillusioned outer world.
My last three words carry the weight of my crippling burden… you never knew.
Oliwerko:
Everything was different
At first I considered it plain unthinkable. When it crossed my mind again, I found it just impossible. I rejected it even when I knew already. I didn’t want to believe it although I saw it coming. It was too beautiful to be true. You came, and everything was different.
Light
First it was only light. I don’t remember much else. I was too scared, too confused. Things have been happening to me so fast last weeks. A lot of questions were left unanswered. I still had tears in my eyes. The headlights were close, but there was no way back.
Summer swim
The water was so fine. I felt…liberated. The sun was shining down upon me and I tried not to have anything on my mind, just the sharp sunrays reflecting in the waves in front of me. I closed my eyes and kept on swimming towards my fate, whatever it was.
Sunset
It was getting late. I opened the window and grabbed a glass of clear water. The air was fine. I was standing still, watching the sunset. If only everything was as tranquil and quiet as the orange sunlight. If only everything was so still as the water in the glass.
More than a friend
I woke up and saw her sleeping quietly beside me, her gentle eyes closed. She was beautiful, as she had always been. I had no more tears to run down my face anymore. She wasn't my girlfriend. But she wasn’t my friend either. She was far, far more than that.
Atelier:
Rock dat Boat
The night was calm, and not a soul troubled The Freebooter on its anchorage, somewhere far, far out at sea. The breeze caught the sails gently and furled the mighty flag; the colours of fearless pirate No-nose Jimbo! His ship was of the cruelest fashion; it bristled with cannons, and dealt the fiercest blows on the Seven Seas.
Accordingly, The Freebooter was crewed by the biggest bunch of bilge-sucking hornswagglers ever to have lived… hang on!
“Hearties! Nights be mighty lonely on the seas! Let’s share hammocks!â€
I must apologise. The epicness of our story has been somewhat spoilt.
Ponch
The lighter was out of fuel and so was the bike. He'd made the last few miles on foot with no water and no cigarettes.
The latter was the bigger hardship. Middle of nowhere, down to his last few bullets and now the nicotine shakes were coming on.
When the automated pump station came into view, the frustration faded only slightly.
It roared back when he saw the badly rusted valves.
"I'd walk a mile for a camel," Venn said to the desert and chuckled. To a thirsty man dying for a smoke, there was a joke in there somewhere.
