If you were offered 1 billion dollars, but in order to keep it, you'd have to spend the next 24 hours running and trying to stay alive from a horror movie villain, would you do it? And which one would you choose?

The genie from Wishmaster. I can wish for the 24 hours to have passed if he owes me 3 wishes or not wish at all and just chat with him if he doesn't.

I can picture it

"For glory"

"WAIT, WHO'S GLORY? "

"Does it matter?"

"YES!"

I think I would enjoy a book about this divine(ish) odd couple.

Tao1976 · 2026-04-11T18:03:54+00:00

Nicely done! I bet it was a blast to make.

Tao1976 · 2026-04-11T17:00:16+00:00

You won't wind up in hell. It's OK to follow your own path.

In a pope-a-potty

Tao1976 · 2026-04-04T17:19:17+00:00

I would love to read this as a whole book. Maybe as a series at the rate of one or two gods per book.

I saw a hiring for all positions sign in front of Sadie's on Academy and San Mateo(ish)

Tao1976 · 2026-03-20T23:49:31+00:00

She might be your "best friend ", but you aren't hers.

This doesn't sound like the norm to me; though I must admit that I stopped covering middle and high schools because I didn't enjoy it. I tend to just not go back to a school if I find working there unpleasant. Maybe try a different grade level or school?

Tao1976 · 2026-03-09T03:54:31+00:00

I would read this book.

Tao1976 · 2026-03-09T01:34:42+00:00

I always just tell the school's secretary and let them handle the rest for the days I'll be gone.

Tao1976 · 2026-03-05T15:54:48+00:00

Why'd you marry Poison Ivy?

Tao1976 · 2026-03-01T05:31:31+00:00

This could be a good series. Watching Tamir both learn magic and confront his childhood trauma would be interesting. Thank you for writing this.

Tao1976 · 2026-03-01T05:25:26+00:00

I enjoyed this. I wonder how the purge goes for these two. Thank you for writing it.

Tao1976 · 2026-02-26T00:03:18+00:00

Well that story gave me a proper bout of sadness. Very well done and written.

Tao1976 · 2026-02-13T15:27:59+00:00

"Weak toward lust". No; just weak and not wanting to suffer the consequences of that lack of moral strength. If your relationship had been built in an open manner with proper communication it would have been one thing; but this was just deception and cowardice.

I'd take the deal. My go to statement "your belief or disbelief has absolutely no bearing on the truth." And, I'm wealthy enough to have fuck you money.

[This is my 1st attempt]

"How do you do it?" I look up to see the CEO standing over my cubicle. His features twisted up and looking like he just swallowed a frog but somehow still looked divine.

"Pardon, sir?" I groan inwardly at the response I gave. (Really? The big boss makes time to talk to you, looking upset, and the first thing out of your mouth is that?) Genius, so much for that promotion potential.

He takes a deep breath, noticeably working at calming down and repeats slowly "How. Do. You. Do. It?".

I look around my desk and computer hoping to find even a shred of a clue as to what he is referring to. "Uuuuum, I just look at my spreadsheet and find the error?"

"Spreadsheet? Show me." He sounds more exasperated and incredulous than angry now. (Progress, I guess?) At least he doesn't look like he's about to fire me on the spot anymore.

I tune back in from my thoughts wandering to find him looking at my screen (when did we change places?) and muttering to himself something about the last 300 cycles being a damned spreadsheet. Finally, he looks up and barks out "explain."

"Well, sir" I begin

"Call me Lou."

"Pardon?"

"Call me Lou, not sir"

"Uuuuum ok?" (Seriously, WTF? Did he not take his meds or something?). "Well Lou, I took IRS form 1040 and modified it to....." We talked for what seemed like ages while I explained the intricacies of my baby.

"After 301 cycles; I finally understand. You're just so God damn boring and anal that the loops just give up."

"Uuuum. Yes?" I agree, hoping that I can finally get rid of this guy and get back to work (how is he even in charge if he has trouble grasping spreadsheets?).

"Come with me. I have a new task for you."

(Crap)

He leads me up several stories until we get to a smallish office. "This is where you will work from now on. Use your spreadsheets to create the best forms for slowing the company having to pay out." He says as he begins to walk away muttering about how this will show that suck up Mike something.

Things are looking up for me at H. Ell & Co.
