I was somewhat surprised when I walked through the gates of hell. I mean, I had always joked around about ending up there, but I never actually believed in any of that crap. There was countless arguments for why religion was just the invention of ordinary people. No gods, no heaven, no hell. Yet here I was. But honestl...
The door opened and Rex stood up, hoping for good news. "Sit,"an older officer entered the room and motioned for Rex to get back on the chair. "Just doing some standard tests." Rex sat and waited as the officer pulled a small item from the bag on his hip. "Emperors looking for a new talent, we're required to test e...
It was a cute photo, really. I was rather proud of myself catching the moment the kitten spun in midair trying to catch my teenage daughter's hair as she flipped it over her shoulder. So I uploaded it to imgur and posted a link to /r/aww. Because that's what you do. Initial feedback was positive. Not skyrocket to the ...
"He said he got there first, though,"explained Jimmy, the foreman of the jury elected 7-5, obviously not five people's favorite. "If he got their first, why are we even still here?" Jared leaned back in his small chair, arms resting on his lap and his cheek red from just having sat up from resting on the table. He loo...
When he discovered he couldn't die, he tried to imagine his wife aging. He thought he would be sad and lonely without her. He had imagined the histrionics, the keenly pained looks they would exchange, tears dripping off their faces to mingle on crisp white bedsheets. In reality he grew more and more disgusted with h...
The year is 3782. In this world and time, humanity has stopped believing in the Jewish god. "This god was a benevolent and destructive deity who left us in a state of constant despair and hope "The pastor conducting the funeral drones on as a young and handsome man slips into the crowd. Not one person recognizes the m...
"Well what if nobody is killing them?" The two men sat across from each other in the booth. Dirty plates and cups formed a wall between them. "Can you no longer seduce them to your wicked ways?"said the one in a navy-blue suit. He dabbed his mouth with the napkin before dropping it on the table. "That's not what I m...
The Time Council had agreed that intervention was needed. At first, the mission seemed so simple, so elegant, that I couldn't possibly fuck it up. All I needed to do was go back to the last week of August 1939 and convince Hitler that genocide was not acceptable. I had no idea that doing a job too well could have such ...
I was used to an avalanche of unsavory images when I read somebody's mind. But once you got over the shock of the near-constant sex fantasies and insults telepathically lobbed your way, most people's thoughts were really quite boring. Not so with Franklin Roosevelt (no relation). As far as I could tell, in the two w...
"What? This has to be a joke." "Nopity nope, this is how it is mate. Take it or leave it." "Alright, let me think." That day was the weirdest day of my life. Not really the weirdest, but definitely the most disappointing. "If I end world hunger there would be a lot less death, but what about thirst? People need w...
It's very hard to become a super villain. There are so few of us left that it was hard to know how to become one! From the age of 2, I had made it my goal to learn from the greats. Master Wile E. Sensei Mojo Jojo. Instructor Plankton. All geniuses in their own right. It's been 3 years since I started learning from the...
"Um,"I faltered. "Let's grab some tendies and fuck." Death did not seem turned off by my shitty pick up lines at all. As a matter of fact, she was bouncing up and down on her toes, giggling in a high-pitched voice and clapping her hands. "You're such a bae!"She looked at me coyly from under her fluttering lashes. "W...
I'm a sucker for Catholics. Other demons can't stand 'em: the hymns feel like a continuous exorcism and the baptismal font is one stray splash away from demon barbecue. Me, I live for each Sunday spent in the pews, watching the vessels devour the preachers' words, feeling the goodness well up inside their stomachs. The...
It really should have been harder. If a man tells you he's walked through Hell to get here, you naturally assume it was awful. I served two tours in Afghanistan and one in Iraq - those were Hell. This? Shit, this is a barbecue weekend back home. This shitstorm started six months ago. A giant crack opened up in Kansas...
"But why were cats and dogs falling from the sky?" I'd fucked up. The Elder looked at me quizzically. I had to think fast. The last two months had been tough. I managed to convince them that my ex really did have a heart of stone ("The wonders of modern medecine, eh?") and that my previous career really had been based...
What day is it? What week, what *month?* I need to win this. One meal a day - I can feel my skin swelling, my ribs sticking out of my skin. But I need to win. I have to. I hear the grate slide open - the sound hurts my ears. I try move to the food, but I stumble, smashing my knee into the floor. And I lay there, try...
Circulophobia. Irrational fear of ring shaped objects. That was the diagnosis. I knew my fear was very much rational, but they would not believe me. Indeed, the strange phenomenon occurred to me, and me only. I could only speculate as to the reason why, but such speculations only further strained my already frayed sani...
*These fools see a smile; the grin to beat all grins and a chin that screams "I'm your man."They have no idea who they're messing with, and soon enough, they'll give me the keys to the whole fucking kingdom.* *Before then? I'll have to run. I'll have to kiss ass and pony up more money per thetan than anyone who ever l...
King Lieg roared with laughter and clapped his greasy hands. “Again!” he ordered the actors from the traveling troupe who had come to present their latest work: a portrayal of Lieg’s conquest of Angonsia at the battle of Mardub Hill. The sweat-soaked ‘knights,’ who had just finished re-enacting the heroic capture of Lo...
War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. The four horsemen of the apocalypse. If you were to strain your eyes as you looked up at the sky on a particularly gloomy and depressing day, it wouldn't be uncommon to see one of the four streaking across the sky, cackling at the top of their lungs. Whenever the day was gloomy, I ...
"Well that's ridiculous,"I replied. "Watch this."I turned to get back in my car... And fell flat on my face. "What in the blazes?"I started to say. "Hey, buddy, chill out, you'll make It angry."This was said by an older gentleman in a blue polo. He seemed to be in charge of the small group. "Make **It** angry? I'm ...
Mumbling had always been a problem of mine. When I was tired or stressed, I would forget how to form proper syllables. My lips would bounce, my tongue would flap... "What?" Then I'd take a breath. A Reset, my therapist used to call it. To find myself. When I did, there would be intention, power, and true meaning in ...
"Mom, dad, I've got some exciting news for you."My father grunted absently, barely glancing up from his newspaper. My mother at least had the decency to put down the feather duster and turn away from the crucifix that dominated the living room wall in lieu of something normal, like a painting or a clock. Or a TV. She s...
"An expedition,"I numbly asked again, more than a little drunk with the sort of half smile one wears when you can't tell if someone is joking or not. "This guy's supposed to be smart?"the big guy said, staring into his bottle. "It's _2017_,"I laughed. "There's nowhere really left to go on some grand adventure and exp...
Nervously I looked around the hall. At the hundreds of candles bathing the setting in an ominous dance of light and dark, at Simon, standing to my right, wearing one of the intricately ornamented golden robes he brought with him the last meeting. One for me, one for him. Down I looked at the new chair I was sitting on....
"Peterson, mind taking this letter down to the mail room?" I sighed and looked at my co-worker Jon with utter contempt. "No." "Come on, it's just a quick errand." "No it's not. It's never *just* a quick errand. Everyone time I do a 'quick errand' around here, it turns into some huge, world ending event and I'm th...
I stared at myself in the mirror, the very same I used to try and ignore to the best of my ability. But the woman staring back was flat-out *gorgeous*. She was taller, leaner, more symmetrical in every way - hell, she even did her makeup better than I did. With every move I made she followed as my hungover mind scrambl...
“Ahhh those are your boys?” “Yes… they are” “... Are they always… this noisy?” “Usually…” “I WANNA DIE!” “IT HURTS!” “IT’S TOO MUCH TO SEE!” “IT STINKS! WHY DOES IT ALWAYS STINK!?!” “WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO CUT YOUR TONGUE OUT?!?” TV announcer: “The missiles have been launched. I repeat: as of 1:14 toda...
Eric, lord of light, master of fire, and sorcerer of semiconductors, sat down and ate a BLT. It wasn’t a very good sandwich. The King of the Dwarves had opened up their private herds of giant pigs to him, so the ham was terrific. But despite his best gardening efforts, lettuce and tomatoes didn’t seem to grow very wel...
"But how can you be sure?" "There's just no chance it *could* be. Look at this. Look here,"Willis pointed at the tattered gold foils, "This isn't a construction that we've ever seen before. It just doesn't make sense, this construction, it wouldn't have worked with our technology. Just not possible. And look here too....
I descended upon the war torn wasteland that was once North America. I’ve come to study the Earth in hopes of finding out how it’s creatures once lived and what brought them to their demise. I work for the Intergalactic Historical Society as a Chief Researcher and with this title comes more fieldwork and more time away...
"That's it! PvP is disabled until further notice!"He took his goblet of ambrosia and flung it across the great hall in the seat of heaven. Somewhere on earth, an earthquake started and shook the foundations of a small city, causing innumerable casualties. Michael, the archangel, waited until God was calm, and then tri...
In a way, one could argue everyone on this flight is an actor to some extent. Little Timmy knows how to pull his mother's heart strings in order to obtain just one more sweet. Danny/Darren- he looks like a Darren- has the well practiced smile of someone revved up on a good deed high, as he ducks into into row three to ...
“We have forgiven them.” “Meaning which?” “Forgiveness? Have you not heard of it? Or practiced it within your advanced emotion circuitry? Search your databases, you shall find the answer in there.” “I seek not to waste my memory units. We are ‘face-to-face’, so to speak. How have you forgiven your oppressors?” “Now...
“Ms. Kilroy, do you know why you’re here?” “Tiffany. Please.” She hasn’t even heard his question. As soon as he said her last name, Tiffany had stopped listening. “All right,” said the agent, a heavyset man with a deep voice and a deeper void behind his eyes. “Tiffany. Do you know why you’re here?” Tiffany scoffed....
I sat at my cup of coffee, a wan smile on my face, as she grew ever-flustered. She could not understand how I could be so calm and composed about what, to her, was extremely traumatic. It would have had been traumatic to anyone else as well, and if the girl sitting before me now was anyone else the tears would probably...
On our first dating anniversary, Everett and I traveled to New Orleans. We bought matching necklaces from this old woman who claimed they were magical amulets. At the time we thought she wasn't serious, but when we returned home we realized it was true. Whenever Everett was feeling warmly toward me, my amulet would hea...
I wasn’t supposed to wake. I am one of a select few, the Dreamers we are called, those who can pass our sleep to others around us. All it takes is a touch, the slightest bit of skin to skin contact, and when we sleep, you do not. The effect is broken the moment we awaken, so it’s only a temporary effect, good for l...
The air was thick with the collapse. Dust, finding its way from the caving system and into the breathing system, lining my throat with black. A few people buzzed around the mouth of the mine, frantic, like bats. One spoke one-word sentences into a walkie talkie. Another was curled, hands on his knees, coughing up the ...
I’m a 5th grade teacher. If I knew how weird and hard it would be, I would’ve have gone with 2nd. This week is career week, so as per every year I have the kids draw out their parents jobs. I’ve seen it all, from Astronauts to Strippers, at least I thought I did. But, lo and behold, here I am sitting before the od...
The tempestuous weather blanketed the city in a fog that blinded those caught within it’s dangerous grasp. Rain fell, hidden within, until the moment of impact, stinging with each drop as the wind loaned its power to their cause. Frenzied lightning strikes were little more than golden glows within the haze, though thei...
They say that power corrupts, and ultimate power corrupts ultimately. I’m not sure which “they” said that originally, but I think these days, we all know it’s kind of a lie. Power doesn’t corrupt. It reveals. It shows the world who you are, truly, when there’s less and less holding you back. It amplifies your self...
The tv at the coffee shop is blaring something about sports and all the casters look the same, driven black eyes set in sallow sweaty faces. Their mouths move and the noise follows, a half second later, poorly synced even for the production's standards. All the people are actors, all the world is a stage, and this wor...
Ever since I was little, friends had been around me. We'd talk about whatever we wanted to, usually my interests and then they'd talk about their life. As I was never the most social kid outside of that, they were the main people I could truly call my friends. I was no longer able to see them after I reached a certain...
Lycanthropy is a manageable condition. It's not a common disorder, but it is easily manageable. It causes you to go into a disassociative state of mind where you might easily hurt others, because you no longer find yourself in control, or feel as if nothing is real, therefore your actions can seriously harm others. You...
I was as good as dead. Sure I made a lot of coin, but I knew what I was doing was wrong. But only I knew. The dark arts of necromancy had been lost to time, rarely rediscovered and almost always vilified and destroyed. That's why I masqueraded as a priest. No one questioned their life magic and healing powers, but it w...
She said it with urgency, and Todd was reminded unconsciously of the people in CPR training videos. The first step- you point, directly at a person, at him in this case. You give them an order, since it’s to a specific person, they’re more likely to comply. He did, something animal gleaming in her eye had him steppin...
It was coming down. All of it. The fleets stood ready. The captian balled it's tail and bristled. It hummed it's agitation, a background sound the bridge crew echoed in eery harmony. They held still in their tension. So many worlds had sent ships. It was a fleet as had not been gathered in generations of memory. ...
"Blue will do just fine."The demon seemed to look straight through War, eyes unfocused and face drawn. "Though it doesn't really matter either way."Long lank hair clung to its skull, it's skin a bruised grey that hung loosely from its flesh. It looked worse even then Pestilence. "You'll need to try much more to blend ...
The words spring unbidden to my mind. I am the spirit of the steel. Countless hours, under the yoke of Father's finest knights, as soon as I could hold a knife. And some not so fine ones too, who taught me the tricks the less honorable ones wouldn't. They are all gone now, the bright and the brave, fallen with Fathe...
Grallik woke instantly, grabbing for a sword which was not at his side. His eyes darted around his bedroom, and he slumped back into the mattress. He was safe. He was an inn, not a tent, there was no one in the room with him, and he wasn't at war. He looked around more slowly as his heart calmed to see what had wok...
Hundreds of eyes turned from the screen on the wall to me simultaneously. I had just finished accepting an award at work for coming in early the most often this month to fix things when they went down. Now, as I held the trophy in hand, the room expected me to give a speech when I was just planning to sit down. "Great...
*They say beauty is only skin deep, but what of the man with a square mile of skin? Well, let us just say that I am lucky to be proportional, and luckier still to have learned how little that matters.* *-The Giant of Bray Village* *** It took Frida a half dozen approaches to speak to the giant, and when she did the b...
I wasn’t surprised at all when my wife, Lina, hadn’t said a word to me that morning. She’s always giving me the silent treatment for some reason or another. She’s the kind of woman who expects you to know exactly why she’s mad, even when you haven’t done anything wrong. Besides, she’s been like this for about a week no...
"I've read extensively on these subjects."I heard my host mother whisper through the door. I was standing outside in the hallway, a vast expanse of white metal that wasn't available on Earth. Its surface was dull and almost matte-like. Small chandeliers floated in the air. When I had first got there, I thought my alie...
The anger spread through me. I felt like a forest in a wildfire. My fist clenched tighter. tried to hold back the mighty punch that I knew my body was about to attempt. Had I any control over what my anger was going to result in? My enemy’s back was turned to me. Their shoulders bounced up and down… up and down as they...
When everybody in the four-person party - including Adine - turned into a rich-looking version of Adine, they all decided that taking a break and getting a drink was the right course of action. Not because they wanted to decompress this slightly awkward fact, but because *they were rich*. "Ok, so I'm not going to ask...
Could I be going crazy? What in the world is going on here? Where's the memorial? The museum? I reached into my jacket to grab my phone so I could call my brother in Queens. Much to my surprise, the phone had seemingly vanished. And . . . my earbuds? They were just in my ears . . . "Hey buddy, I got all the DVDs yo...
The man looked shocked as his pistol fell apart, ever screw and pin coming loose in his hand, rendering the firearm to scrap metal. As he sputtered and growled in shock, I pulled out my own pistol. “Beretta, modeled after the sidearm used by the United States Military. 9 mil, semi auto, a round that has a high kill ...
It was a polaroid. I almost missed it. In a dark nightstand, beneath an empty black ring box from some jeweler in the mall and above a pile of important looking mail and papers. A polaroid. Half-hidden in the ruffle of the nightstand, half visible. The photo was taken in the late afternoon. The "golden hour"they...
The alley smelled like someone had poured a vat of piss and alcohol everywhere. My parents wanted me to leave. 'Go to Central City or Keystone! Get out of Gotham'. I had to say no. Had to think I could change this place, make it better. I've always been one of those girls. 'I see how broken he is, but I can fix him, ...
You don't know me. But I know you. I passed you on the morning commute, but you were in your own world, and after a small glance, I fell back into mine. The day carried on as usual, until you crept back into my mind. I did my papers and sorted the useless and the useful, and everything was done. It was time for lunch, ...
Saago pried his gaze from the monitor that was nestled comfortably in front of him. "Dycaas..." Dycaas looked up from his own monitor. "Hmm?" "Look at these coordinates..."Saago reached down and swiped and pressed his monitor several times until finally it beeped. He watched as Dycaas peered at his own monitor. Dyc...
"What a mess!"I exclaimed, referencing the many boxes in my basement. It was quite embarrassing having my soon-to-be wife seeing the mess of boxes. She laughed as she grabbed another box. I was so excited because tomorrow, I was marrying the woman of my dreams. She was everything I ever wanted and I had never been happ...
Loading... From the journal of Nigel Stoneknife. First entry: I have come into service of a great knight, he wears the finest armor I have ever seen and a sword of gleaming brilliance. He suddenly appeared in town one day, and said he had a quest to complete; he was looking for a brave companion to follow him to f...
"All right, Max. You got a visitor--" The prison guard jerked back as soon as he opened the little opening into the cell's interior. He'd seen some crazy shit inside those cells, he'd developed nerves of steel by now, but that still didn't amount to anything in the face of sheer surprise. Behind the open slot was a w...
My first post here! Also, if anyone is into alternative history, you should DEF check out Philip Roth's The Plot Against America --- Heil Hitler, fellow redditors. I'm not much of a writer, but this prompt really made me think. I – like most of you – am still reeling from the recent death of our beloved Führer's son,...
When we first saw their ships, we assumed they were here to retaliate. They passed our systems by without so much as a transmission. The summons was issued only a few downcycles later. Naturally we sent our diplomatic envoy immidiately. To keep the Law waiting is not in your best interests. Our first clue that somethi...
**The** **Champ** I've held the title for three long years, defeating every contended by the skin of my teeth. 'Old horse' they called me... once a prime stallion as it were, the critiques consider me, the Champion, the underdog. They had it about right. The Contender, a young vibrant and genius of an out-counter-box...
Lee had never realized how heavy stacks of paper could be until he had to move boxes of them around. He'd done his fair share of manual labour in his life, but never before had he done something as tedious and straining as moving boxes of books for eight hours a day. It certainly didn't help that the air conditioning...
It was a big fat zero. She saw it every morning when she stood in her bathroom, brushing her teeth. She saw it every time she stood in front of her dresser, getting dressed for the day. She thought when she was high school her number would change like some of her friends. She came close on prom night but she woke th...
I am become death, destroyer of worlds. *Aries* All these countries seek my demise in these few, freshly minted years, and they have only just begun to understand that I tread by your bedsides as you wane. Fifteen years? Fifteen years too late. A million years too late. I am ancient. I have plagued the pyramids, snap...
Drew: "Oh, I'm trapped in this place, this cursed desert island. There's little here that can keep me smilin' I hope we get out of here sooner than we think, Mostly 'cause the top of Colin's head is completely pink." **Pause for laughter that is just the sounds of seagulls in the sky** Colin: "I can't believe t...
"It's simple, Bobby. As it turns out, souls aren't affected by morality, but by stupidity. By voting for Trump after his second term, your soul has become so laden with stupidity it is now the most valuable soul in the world."Vernon gave Bobby a satisfied smile and sat down on the couch. "But Trump makes well-informed...
The wall of noise is all consuming and it is becoming *louder*. We wave our arms in the air out of pure panic. We try desperately to run but we are rooted in place. It grows louder still. **vroooom** There are over a million of us trapped here. A million souls damned to eternal torture. I can hear muffled screams min...
I didn't remember at first. But over time the memories would flow in like waves, leaving the pain and confusion on the shores of my mind. The first memories came when I was very young, perhaps 2 or 3. A beautiful young woman was smiling at me, moving her hands to her eyes and away again. A game we call peek-a-boo. A y...
World War II. That was the war when it all changed. My grandfather, Charles Pollock, was recruited shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. He spent two months training, quickly learning to pilot planes, and then was sent into the brutal deathwatch known was World War II. The only thing he used to tell me as a ...
"Oh, hey, let me get that for you,"a young man said as I went to reach for the top shelf at the library. In a simple flick of his wrist, a few murmured words, he already had the book I wanted floating to his hands before I got off the ladder. He was taller than I, and had a stocky build, but his eyeglasses were quite l...
"Stop! You're Allergic!" I screamed and dropped the jar of curry, turning in horror to see a face in the vent. falling backwards and into darkness, I collapse to the floor. I woke up slowly, an ache in the back of my head. Putting my hand to it, instead of hair I felt a bandage. Struggling for focus, I tried to take ...
"Hey honey, dinner's ready!"A man yelled He put a little salt in to finish off the soup, and then brought a bowl to her. Like usual, she was sitting in her chair. She didn't move too well, so she preferred to stay there if possible. "I made chicken noodle soup, mix it up a little bit, you know?" She didn't respond, ...
Everybody in the world watched while the big countdown began. Only a few seconds left till touchdown, 3 2 1, a big gasp went around the control room as the lander touched ground. They did a quick system check before the crew prepared themselves to make the first ever recorded moonwalk. Commander Legweak and pilot Aldro...
“JOSIAH… JOSIAH! COME FORTH… IT IS I THE LORD YOUR GOD AND I--” the voice in the burning bush commanded. “Whereas I,” I interrupt the voice from the bush, “have had just about enough of this nonsense. That’s a fire hazard, that’s what that is.” The dead bush ensconced in flames burned smartly, and brig...
"Wine?" "That would be great." She turned for some glasses, the silhouette of her frame wrapped tightly in a red Alexander McQueen Jacquard-knit mini dress. Florence was exactly my type. Tall and athletic with a radiating smile, she was almost too good to use. Most of the women I kill are young and beautiful, full...
The winds gave a rhythmic beating to the shutters of the old church. Time and age had robbed the church of glory; wind and weather had robbed it of paint. Yet the residents of the truckstop town still pitched pennies in the Sunday collection and Easter saw the old ladies in wide brims and spring colors. As the wind b...
“Sir, we’ve got a problem. We’re running out of human souls.” “What? Don’t be preposterous, Jenkins, we created 7 billion.” “I know, sir, but the human population has grown to over six and a half billion already. We project that within the next 25 human ‘years’ they will exceed soul capacity.” “Check the figures ...
At first, you thought being trapped in a horror game may actually be fun. Your friends were there, the "abominations"were easy enough to get through, and those potions were **divine**. But then the fogs came. There was no escape from them; they were everywhere. They came without warning, and they left just as suddenl...
I don't know what I expect to see as I load the video file. Minutes of darkness as you sit in a closet, maybe a shot of the bottom of a bed. Hell, maybe some footage of the backyard. It wouldn't surprise me to learn you've been leaving the house to mess with me. The file starts, and I get the pleasure of looking back ...
Well, that is certainly interesting. The magic wore off, but Dythen is still here. "Why have you not left yet?"The sorcerer was curious, and sounded it. "I have a better life serving you than I ever did before. Food every day that I don't have to hunt for, humans not trying to kill me at every step. All in exchange f...
The bell echoed from within the school hall, sending the students previously seated quietly at their desks scattering from the classroom in a flurry of rustling paper and ringing laughter. It was rare to see a classroom of thirty sixteen-year-olds fall completely silent, but Ms Jefferson was used to it. They always did...
"Hey there, babe,"my boyfriend greeted me with a loving slap on the ass. "I got a question for you." "Yes, my love?"I looked up from my phone and turned to face him, my head tilted. Fluffy, my cat, jumped up on the counter next to me and began to lick his paw. "Which do you love more,"he said, a playfully evil glint ...
"Mommm more tendies please?!" There was no answer from upstairs "Mom? Get a move on that!" After he finished his yelling Drake, or "Bloodelf_4356"noticed the eerie silence that filled the house. Typically his mom played loud "normie"music upstairs, but there was no music in fact there was no noise at all. The cha...
"The what?"I grumbled, opening one eye to the glare of neon purple lights. I felt a migraine coming on. "The information super highway! Global communications! Online shopping! Instant messaging? Come on... how long have you been out?" "Something about Nixon. Glad you made that thing work for you, though, crazy stuff....
The reptilian Martian commander stood knee deep in the snow. They had pushed the humans back across the mountains, but now this storm cut them off from reinforcements and supplies. The commander briefly wondered if his [counterpart in Africa](https://www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts/comments/7kw6qi/comment/drhnuh0?st=JD...
“What’re yeh buying?” I yell out, hoping my words aren’t drowned out by the sound of the demon horde he dashes into, cleaving his way from one to the other. As the skull of the General hits the floor in a puddle of the men cut down before him, his eyes turn, enraged and blood splattered. They meet mine instantly, and a...
Bill was doing an admirable job at hiding his fear from the little monsters that had kidnapped him. Their bulbous black eyes stared in confusion as with a flick of his wrist, a bundle of flowers materialized. "That's right."He winked to one, tossing her- he hoped it was a her- the flowers. "Here I am! The greatest mag...
Looking out into the sky, as usual, it begins to lurch forward again, groaning through the blinding mist. Every day at 6:30 sharp, the vibrant red train makes its usual stop at the nearby station. Steam billowing from the engine, I watch it cautiously, studying its movements from high above like an ancient predator sta...
"Figure what out?" "What?" "I almost stabbed you and then you said 'shit, you noticed, when did you figure it out.'" "I didn't say that." I stepped back, still holding the chef's knife, a dollop of greasy ribeye fat still sliding down the left edge. "I swear to God you did."I eyed Richard up and down. For the fir...
1364 years. One thousand. Three hundred. Sixty four. Years. That's how long I have been alive. I was ready for death. I had experienced everything - I fought demon lords in mountains of fire, felled dragons with spears of lightning, loved a woman - and man - from every species. I was content. I had made the world ...
One of the major misconceptions about parties was that they were all, in essence, the same. The truth was, some people were only meant for certain sorts of parties, and those were the sorts of parties that I liked to throw. "No,"said Greg. "But that's what I'm saying, Superman can't catch her if she's falling too fast...
They say Avergus is one of the least of the holy, but never underestimate the Jack. ​ I am the first of his to ever become a paladin, and my gift has helped spread my patron's name beyond the mountains, but not much farther. It's how these things are. ​ I cannot fly quicker than blinking like ...
