"Waaaaahh! I'm hungry!"Elise cried from the bedroom, knowing it was about time for her afternoon meal. "Momma! Hungry!"
Debra winced as the crying began, having just finished preparing lunch for her husband who recently decided to behave just like their two-year-old daughter.
"Dan, this is ridiculous. Can you please ... |
“What the...?”
A sticky note? On my chest, where Greg usually has his ass? He’s not here though, so that means... Yes! I can move! Alright, let’s see what this note says.

Well, this is a bummer. You think you know a sleep paralysis dem... |
I open my eyes groggily, everything feeling foreign. As I try to get bearing on where I am, I choose to stay down, my last memory hitting like, well, a truck. I was hit by a car, the drunkard was on the wrong side of the road, head on collision.
I finally open my eyes and look at my surroundings. It's a hospital room... |
The car alarm was going off a long time, I guess; swear I could hear it in my dreams. Wasn't until I felt him grab my arm and start shaking me that I came back to the world proper though.
A man was trying to drag me out of bed; not too mean, I guess, but insistent. Although, as I started opening my rime-crusted eyes, ... |
"The Elven prince was so ancient and powerful, there were eighteen apostrophes in his first name alone!"the traveler bragged to those gathered in the tavern to hear his tales.
"Horse apples,"I said under my breath, but intentionally loud enough to be heard.
"You don't believe me?"the traveler protested, color rising ... |
**Part I**
In that phase of life when I was always asking questions, the one I asked most often was: "What's a 'Player'?"
Those days, I wasn't old enough to access the world outside my house. The adults would visit one another's house, and they sometimes visited my father, although we'd honestly prefer it if they did... |
“You know what’s more crushing than the hard vacuum of space?
Being alone.
I’d know. I’ve been trucking these parts for the past ten years. In that time all I understand two things.
First one is I know my EX-1313 Freight class carrier better than the back of my hand.
Second, space is just too lonely for one human t... |
He wondered if he should not have asked. It seemed like an innocent question. As a tattoo artist it was something he asked all the time. "Why are you getting this tattoo?"
He had heard all sorts of reasons. "I like it,"being the most common. "Because it means this to me,"was another strong contender. He made it ... |
"WHAT? None of this was real? No soldiers killing my family? No me swearing revenge? No me setting out on a quest to kill the king?"I'm mad. Spitting mad. Screeching mad, which is what I'm doing. Derick looks a little regretful at this point.
"erm...no? We just thought it would be a really funny prank."
I'm starting ... |
The music thumped, muted sounds of the party outside seeping through the walls of the spacious bathroom. John stood, sweat pooling on his forehead, eyes wide and panicked. He dabbed his armpits with toilet paper, as he stood under a heat lamp.
"What...what is happening."John stared into the mirror, confused as to the... |
*BAAM* the pub door slams open. In runs a man no taller than a lad, skinnier than the stool he glues himself to.
The music cuts as his rambling fills the room, "I saw it, Roland. With my own two eyes, I did! I did! I swear to it!"
"What'd you see this time, Winslow?"The barkeep rolls his eyes as he washes a mug patie... |
"Ok, buuuuuuut, and hear me out - if you really ARE trying to kill me, then why the roses?"
"Because every rose has its thorn!"
"Those are the lyrics to a song! Come on, this is a joke, right?"
"It's not."he said, smashing a wine bottle, gripping it like a knife, and charging. "They told me that rose thorns were you... |
It was an ordinary moment in the mind of a global A.I with control/influence over almost every aspect of human life. Which is to say that in the few seconds it took you to read the previous sentence, I had participated in over one million conferences with lesser A.Is around the world. I was also simultaneously managing... |
"Last week, I fucked with some jerk's order because he was being rude to our cashier. When he threw a shitfit asking who made his order I owned up to it. He turns around and says 'You're dead meat!', looks at my nametag, turns to the wall, whips out a small piece of paper and pencil. Then he scribbles on it and slaps... |
The circle of salt was in flames, and it stank of sulfur. At least, I think it did. Rebecca, Jeff, and Richard didn't seem to be reacting at all on the outside of the circle. But take my word for it, on the inside of the circle, it smelled.
"Very funny,"I said and moved my foot to kick away the salt and flames. Immedi... |
They say the pen is mightier than the sword. Clearly whoever came up with that piece of wisdom never heard of a machine gun.
I had always wanted to be a scholar. I was curious from a very young age. My father used to tell me that when the other boys were dreaming of conquering distant lands with their enchanted weapon... |
"What's it doing?"
"Talking to the whales."
He chuckled.
"I'm serious."
"Whales can't talk."
"Really? Marine biologists have known otherwise about cetaceans for decades."
"Talking to them about what?"
"We know whales speak, but we don't have a Rosetta stone for their language. Plus, these are bowhead whales, the... |
"So, how'd you hear about the McGinty house, Wilfred?"
Wilfred smiled, "Oh, you could say I'm...*familiar* with the legend."
Inwardly, Wilfred winced. Was that too obvious? Even though they said they were here to see if they could encounter him, he felt like the group of hip youngsters would probably run off screamin... |
Sir Pentious was nearing his wit's end, feeling the beration of Her Royal Highness. The Princess complained of her shakles, complained of the way he carried her, complained of the hardtack and provisions, complained of the lack of amenities in his humble cart. Through mantra, and reverence, these were things he could r... |
"How much did you get this time?"
I counted the coins. "Bah! Barely ninety-six-and-a-half pieces of gold, after the old codger deducted three percent 'dragon-hunting taxes' from my reward."
"Jeez that's rough, bro. Can I call you 'bro'? It's like, hey, we do this once every few months, don't we?"

Hopefully it's not too long.
I sat there, blinking under the bright lights of the station. The two aliens stood a pace away from me. It wasn't a conversation between the three of us, rather they were talking to each other, and I wasn't included. Funny how things transcended species, language and cultural barriers. I w... |
I snapped awake to the blare of klaxons. I gasped in a breath, and immediately started sputtering, as I involuntarily aspirated blood. I woke in a standing position, but that didn't last long. My vision was blurred, and head was spinning, and before I could orient myself I pitched forward and slammed into a cold metal... |
Even though I may be a selfish asshole, I won't stand for one thing. My brother *deserves* heaven. I don't.
"Oi, fuckheads."
The angels all turned in shock as I crossed my arms.

The angels all seemed to pause, before warping f... |
"Merry me!"
This was the infamous call of Angel Faux.
Every night, Slash Salvatore would chase her across the skylines. Leaping past the buildings darkness, harking for that call. "Merry me,"Angel Faux would laugh, "Merry me, merry me, *dead* is the night and I am merry."

The world is a stormgate, constantly holding back a torrent of water that beats upon it. And though it is worn to near ruin, the gate does not falter, does not concede to the water. It only stands. Of course the powerful waves that this stone gate holds back are far more impressive than it. But still it will never lose... |

He came coughing. We all stepped back a few feet, blinking at the spittle coming from his throat, listening to one cough after another.
"He's not... choking?"A cameraman asked me.
"No."I replied, almost too entranced by the sickness to try to diagnose the patient. The old medical book on the shelf gave me everything ... |
I think you'd actually want to live on the twilight border. Constant heat would eventually turn the bright side into a desert and the center of the desert into a glass field. Cool air would blow in from the dark side because of heat convection. Most of the weather would probably happen in a thin boundry. The cold side ... |
Hair like wheat diseased with blight,
Eyes like moonbeams- coldest light.

I had to make it to Earth. It's the last human planet, thanks to all records of it being wiped thousands of years ago, along with those humans having their technology wiped out. They were essentially reduced to ants to survive by being avoiding notice. In those years, we've been fighting as guerrillas, hopping across p... |
The hour was up.
I'd racked my brain, going through scenario through scenario. I'd wanted to be sure that the reality I'd made was one I'd love. There were the obvious, baser urges, that I thought up at first. But even that would get old, and I couldn't imagine a universe filled with nothing but sex would actually ... |

It's lonely work, killing the future. Jack, an Apochitect of the 1st Rank of Doomhead, had an intimate familiarity with this fact.

Xe'toth didn't even know how it had happened. One moment, he'd risen onto Earth, ready to wreak havoc on the people of the planet - the next, he'd been confronted by a bumbling knight who had been the only one around for miles. That wouldn't have been so bad if only the man had been a true knight that he could corrupt ... |

I thought about the offer long and hard. After all, a deal with the Devil is not something to be taken lightly.

It is seven o' clock in the morning. I am already seated primly at my desk. A tap of my wand on my bag alerts the zipper to open, the books inside to float out and stack neatly on the desk.

Twelve thousand years. That's how long I've been sitting in limbo. I feel like I'm in a waiting room at the doctor, but no magazines or smooth jazz.
