- Out of Nothing [PG-13]
"What are the roots that clutch?
What branches grow out of this stony rubbish?"
-- T S Eliot
“I’ll put these here now.”
“Yeah.”
… where do we go from here?
After the end of the quest, after the minutes when all was close to being lost, after the betrayal, the discovery and the voiced secret, the Nebuchadnezzar once more vibrated with energy. Electricity pumped and raced through the blood vessel like wired of the ship, much like before. The people, what remained of the crew, now paced the narrow spaces of the battered hovercraft, going out of their way to renew its efficiency, to save its life. They hadn’t managed to save the lives of their crewmates, who now lay motionless in what usually was Neo’s tiny room, door shut tightly, awaiting their final halt somewhere deep in the sewers. They’d never come back. But the Neb was alive, and in a way that assured the four silent, busy minds that indeed they were too. They spoke little, but their silence screamed; of grief, of paradoxical joy and excitement, of labour, of life. This energy, the one of physical labour, was one kind. But most of all, what imbued the ship was the misplaced silence between the two who had shared a kiss on the brink of death.

"Thomas!" the brown-eyed dark-haired mother yelled, "Thomas! Your breakfast is ready!"
Scraping the pans with her dull spatula, Michelle Anderson scooped the greasy bacon and sunny-side-up eggs from the pans, and tossed them onto the plastic lime-green plate. Flinging her towel onto the kitchen counter, she yelled even louder. "Thomas!"

- Action - Literary bullet-time. These stories will have you holding your breath, whether or not that's air you're breathing.
- Adult [R and NC-17] - Remember... To deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes
us human. Give in.
NOTE - PLEASE READ THE AUDIENCE RATING SYSTEM RULES! - Agent - Most creatures develop an equilibrium with their surrounding webspace, but you humans do not. No, you move to a page and you multiply, until there's no choice but to spread to a new page. Here, you'll find *our* stories. This is *our* site.
- Drama - Welcome to the Real World. Not always a happy ending, these stories focus on the struggle to survive.
- Humor - Trinity: "It's the question that drives us. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question. Just as I did." Neo: "Have you ever farted?" Trinity: "Never." High-brow and low-brow fun for all.
- Novella - Take the red pill and open one of these stories. Nearly long enough to be novels in their own right, these stories show you how deep the rabbit hole really goes.
- Romance - Nobody can tell you you're in love, you just know it, through and through, balls to bones. What do you know?
- Alternate Universe [AU] - There may be a difference between knowing the path and walking the path, but these stories take the same characters down a whole different road.
- Cross-Over [XO] - There's the Real World, the Dream World, and all the other worlds that have been created. This is the middle ground.
- Original Character [OC] - There are resistance fighters, agents and civilians that the movies didn't introduce. A few of them have had their stories posted here.
- Role-Writing Fics [RWF] - "Try not to think of it in terms of right and wrong. She is a guide, Neo." Similar to the Role-Playing Game [RPG], but without the restrictions of boards, pieces, charts, points, or dice, the RWF involves multiple writers, a designated fic director, a decent plot, and the power of human imagination.
- Screenplays [SP] - "All I do is what [the Wachowskis tell] me to do. If I had to choose between that and the Matrix, I'd choose the Matrix." These screenplays and pseudo-screenplays march to the Zionic beat of a different format.
- Works In Progress [WIP] - "But rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have destroyed Zion." Alas, an Architect's work is never done.
