This story doesn’t come to me through the usual channels. Therefore, I dare say it is what you might call an unauthorized edition. The woman who brought it to me, I first met when I was very young. When I was yet a neophyte, she was already very old. She has been silent for a very long time and I t...

It's been awhile since I got an Ajax story to publish. I was beginning to think that my client had decided to cut me off. I doubt I'm getting this one out of new found trust however. More likely it's because someone wants someone else to know something. Not that it matters to me. I get paid, I deli...

This is sort of a simple puzzle and I'm curious who can decode it. First individual sends: Eight Diamonds, Queen Hearts, Seven Hearts, Eight Spades, Seven Spades, Four Clubs, Eight Clubs The second individual responds with: Nine Clubs, Ten Diamonds, Nine Diamonds, Six Spades, Five Spades, Ace Diamo...

Well here's a thread from six years ago that seems to have been buried. Some things are perhaps best left forgotten but not this, I think. There are holes in this account. What exactly was on the other side? As the poster who knows the answer has surrendered his account to someone who wasn't there ...

Good day everyone. I was contracted to leave this message on this board over a year ago. The allotted time has elapsed so now I do my job. The payment in this case was the forgiving of a very old debt to one that was ancient when the most distant ancestor I know of was born. While this individual h...

There are a number of folktales regarding the devil. Here's one. There's a story in which a farmer sells his soul to the Devil for enough money to send his three sons to school as a doctor, a priest, and a lawyer. Come the end of his life, the Devil shows up to collect, and the farmer begs for just...

Interesting economic theory. It's also interesting that you think your information is so valuable. I'll do some digging around and see if I can come up with an interesting candidate to offer to introduce to you. I'll also consider what information I would consider worth the exchange. Until later.

Really? It's the font color that set you off? Well, your threat was made against anyone using your friend's account again, which isn't the case here. Nor, aside from font color is there any way to connect me to that individual. Or anyway for you to carry out your veiled threats against me, even if ...

I imagine that most things that people consider demonic will find digital intelligence incredibly boring. What's the fun in torturing a device? It can't fear you. It can't resent you. It won't care about you in any way shape or form. But not all artificial intelligence need be digital. Legendary go...

Depending on where you are in the world tonight, Friday the Thirteenth has already started or is mere minutes from starting. So I suppose that means I am technically fulfilling my obligation by posting now. Everyone knows the true value of a pawn is that they can, if they survive, become a queen. A...

What do you think? Catchy title or what? Some of you may be following bio-technology news where lately they have been using stem cells and 3-D printers to create new organ tissue or things like teeth. With organs in particular there has been quite a bit of success in growing new tissue on what they...

What is interesting about this story is that despite the obligatory "Werewolves are evil! Boo!" at the very beginning of it, all the characters are portrayed in a balanced and nuanced way. It condemns neither werewolf nor human as being bad based on their nature (again, excepting the obli...
