"From Within"

Electronics not working is often a common occurrence. But what do you typically do when it stops? Are you the kind of person who will throw it out and buy one that's newer and runs far better than your previous one? Perhaps you're the kind of person who would much rather take it upon yourself to open it up and see what you can do to fix it. I'm one of the latter.
My profession for quite some time was being an electrician. I've done various things from fixing faulty wiring for people, to a computer that refuses to turn on, to my personal favorite, taking apart a piece of technology that is old and rusty, cleaning it up, and making it run once again as if it was never previously used. I often took pride in my work, knowing that every single piece of technology in my possession came out far better than when it came in.
My son's gaming console, the Z-Cube, had stopped working. He gave it to me and I told his pouty little face that I would fix it. He said it refused to turn back on after last night. He said he'd tried everything he could think of and nothing worked. He didn't even know what he'd done to break it so badly.
I took it to my workshop and began to take it apart. It took some time, and eventually I had to look up a tutorial because all the pieces were so complex and all plastic. It was no wonder it was nearly broken, get even a little rough with it and an important part could break fairly easily.
After some time, I finally got the thing taken apart. The thing sitting in the middle of the motherboard surprised me. It was a little black box that said "HANDLE WITH CARE". I tried prying the box from the motherboard, only to find that it wasn't attached. I had no idea why it would be there. Had my son left this for me?
I carefully undid the wrapping and opened it up.
Whatever was inside leaped out toward me in an instant. It moved too quickly for me to get a good look at it. I heard it behind me, banging against things and making scratching noises as it scurried all through my office. After a few seconds, the noise stopped. The creature was still.
Suddenly, a dark figure emerged and presented itself to me in an almost human form. It had solid black eyes and scruffy brown hair. The way it crouched before me looked like something from a nightmare.
"Are you the electrician?" The creature said in a low, dry rumble. I nodded.
"I require you do my bidding." It said. "For every house you visit to fix, you must place my box inside for a small amount of time, place me back in your pocket, and carry on the job."
"I have so many questions. Why should I do this?" I demanded.
"If you fail me, you and your family will perish."
"Don't you dare threaten my family!"
"Allow me to show you what happens when you disobey me." It said with a twisted grin. He raised a hand above his head as if to strike me, then the room went dark.

"The Light"

  My day off from work was supposed to be a day for me to relax and unwind and rest. The past few days had been incredibly stressful, from hateful customers to managers that expected everyone to do their jobs for them, and everything in between. It was nice to finally have that down time to spend away from all that. I'd decided to spend my time, not to get things done around the house, but to play a new game I'd been hooked on lately. It was this puzzle game where every room is seemingly randomly generated, each with clean and clever puzzles. After booting up the game, I was presented a room with white padded tiles all over the walls. There were a few green, red, and blue squares. I guess my job was to manipulate those tiles somehow to get me from where I was no, up to the top of the level. I looked around the room and could barely make out an opening. I pressed a single button to get myself started when the light in my bedroom burnt out, leaving me shrouded in darkness...

"Fading Memories"

W ith old age comes problems that are as old as time itself. Your mind begins to crumble. Your body begins to fall apart. You are eventually unable to do things on your own. It's enough to make anyone lose their mind. And sometimes this can result in the worst kinds of situations. Living with my grandson is so irritating. All he wants to do is sit in his room and play video games all the time. He doesn't want anything to do with me. In fact, it feels like nobody in my family want anything to do with me. All I have is my television and my knitting needles. I had been working on this blanket for a while. Winter was on its way, so what better time to make something like this. Knitting is something I enjoy doing to waste time until eventually something might enter my life and give it some kind of new meaning. This was a reason why I chose to let him live with me. He seemed like an interesting person to be around from the beginning. I don't know what drove him away from me...

"Baby Talk"

C ommunication is one of the strongest bonds we have as people. We use it to get our feelings across, whether they be disagreements or compliments, or even to complain about our days. But what happens when even the most talkative person won't even mutter a word? At one point in time, if you told me that our baby would grow up just like any normal one would, I would have absolutely believed you. But why is it that now our child has the ability to speak long before any normal kid should be able to? The one painful thing that comes from her being able to talk is that she doesn't really want to stop. It was cute when it first started, she'd make all these silly noises and attempt to make words out of them. Now she has learned speech so well that we're surprised she can't read yet. We wanted to send her off to a school for gifted kids so that she could learn with people nearly as smart as she is. As much as I'd enjoy this idea, however, the wife and I would a...
