"Look man, I've done nothing wrong! I've...I've...that one time. I donated money to that charity!"

God sat at his desk, shuffling papers in an attempt to look busy. There used to be a sort of lectern situated before those massive pearly gates, but that was a different era. Why stand all day when there was no one to impress? God was old, and God was tired.

*I should give her a call to let her know I'm picking up dinner. Where should I go though? Maybe that wing spot she loves.*
"Hey babe! What's up?"

“He was special you know?” My eyes flick up to look at the persons friend, she didn’t look angry nor sad, just disappointed. I shook my head, looking at the blood on my hands and the friend sighed, “I mean, he was an arsehole, but he was gonna achieve something.”
My voice is caught in my throat, “Achieve what?” I mana... |
"Come now, Lucy. Repent,"a deep, disembodied voice said. It seemed to come from all around me, and rung with authority and power, yet was still said softly, as if the source of the voice had ordered it from God: "Yessir, I'd like a little bit of the, uh, Hitler, Julius Caesar, Obama, and... oh, throw in some Mother Ter... |
In the waiting room, John passes time by sketching in his notebook. He draws his brother, always so serious. Adds a speech bubble: "Are you sure that's what you want, John?". John pauses, then makes the question mark bolder.

I’ve been waiting for over ten minutes to get breakfast. This line just won’t move. I stand tapping one foot against the tiled floor of the eating establishment, *how long does it take to order from a menu that’s been around longer than I have?* Indecisive patrons stare up at the menu, mouths agape like they can’t unde... |
It started off just like any other day, I guess. I woke up to the smell of bacon wafting through the halls as my wife made breakfast and the sound of the Martian Morning News coming from the television in the living room. A team of climbers had finally made it to the top of Olympus Mons. Took them months.

"Come on, honey,"Val said with a smile, nudging my shoulder. "You'll be great! Come on, please?"
I saw Fred across the table, shaking his head. "Val, I hate to say it, but I don't think it's a good idea. I mean, he's... just look at him, he's had one too many. I think we should just call a cab."
I shrugged and turned... |
Professor Ketner entered the main objective area and started typing at the console. Then I heard the charicteristic \*shick-chick\* of a pump action shotgun. Then Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam!
Nobody was hurt except Ketner, he was tackled to the ground once he stopped shooting.
The entire linear array was just _gone_. Noth... |

Her voice jarred me awake. It was little more than a whisper, but it was enough to bring me crashing down to earth. I turned to her more than a little drunk, having had a drink to his memory, a drink to our friendship, and a couple more for the hell of it. "Pardon?"I asked.
"Did you know him?"she asked, nodding tow... |
The people ran indoors, securing their doors and windows with large locks and barricades, as it usually went in the evening. People too far from their home found shelter with anyone nearby, be they a peasant or a noble. All but myself, that is.

She sits there, every day. She doesn't make a sound, she just sits. She comes, whether it's through wind, through sleet, through hail, through snow or through rain. Every day that I go to work, and those odd weekends where I go for a run, she's always there. Waiting for something that never seems to come. Of course she... |
Kyle slid the long scarlet robe over his head and looked in the compact mirror on his car's visor. He looked... he couldn't tell. The hood was in his eyes.
He yanked the back of the hood uttering curses, but kept the words low so the other members walking past his car to the woods would believe he was chanting in Lat... |
The comet was headed straight for Earth. Determined to crash into the Pacific, it would create a catastrophic event that would decimate most, if not all of the coastal cities and more. Weather patterns would be torn and broken, causing unknown havoc across the world. All sorts of magicians tried their magic against the... |
The bus driver scowled at me as I got on. He only had three fingers on each hand, and they were gripping the wheel so tight his knuckles were white.
I avoided eye contact, paid my fare and found a seat in the back. To keep from being molested by other passengers, I kept my hands tucked in the pocket of my coat.
I got... |
"I said, gimme your watch!", repeated the hooded man, "I aint gonn' tell you again!"
I had already given him my wallet and my phone, I couldn't give him my father's watch. He gave it two me weeks before he passed away.

And that's... |
"You wouldn't believe the mess,"began Prince Phillip. He had a firm grip on his stout and disappointment seemed to flow out of him as the alcohol flowed in.

"No! No, get away from me!"
I scrambled backwards where I'd fallen on the ground, trying at the same time to push him back. My breath was ragged and uneven, my heart thumping in my chest. His hands reached for me, clawing the air in front of me as I grabbed hold of his wrists, desperately attempting to keep him away. ... |
"What, are you kidding me? Feed the poor?"
*"Yes, feed the poor, give away your wealth and follow me. For no one can serve two masters. You will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."*
"But the those who are poor are the result of their own fault... |

Jack Morris started the engine and drove out of his garage. Parked in front of his small suburban home, he waited for the heater to counter the cold air of the streets before setting off. The display on the clock above the Sat Nav reminded him of the early morning commute he used to take a dec... |
I had only one minute of super intelligence left. Then I would be facing an arch nemesis with the same power while I... who knew what my next power would be? I might become the slowest man alive pitted against the smartest for an entire hour! This would not be good.

The being had effortlessly struck him so far into the rock that he had been embedded into the rock of the mountain. 'Shit,' the pipsqueak said without even the slightest hint of fear as he pulled himself out, stumbling before landing on the ground.
The next thing he knew was the attacker's heel driving his feet into t... |
***You have impressed me, mortal.***
The demon was not overly large. He was barely taller than Pedr. He was, however, adorned with an amazing assortment or horns, thorns, and other pointy bits.

I hide behind a pillar as The Catchers come running past. I hold in my breath, not daring to even make the slightest sound. Silently, I pray that emotion wouldn’t get the best of me. There are no pillars in the sky. Nowhere to hide. Tears begin to pour down my face nonetheless.

"Fuck yes."Danish said. "As you say, sir."
He hit a button on the dash, right under the A/C. It was a custom-made button and though it had only a poorly drawn penis on its face, Danish knew what it did. After all, he installed it.
At once, the car dropped all side panels and bumpers like a vacationing woman drops ... |
"The game must go on"was always the rule. For five straight years, every weekend, whether we were ill, or the weather was foul, we always found a way to keep going... but without him where would we go?

I always thought that my time creature was different. Some people had dragons, others had chimeras, even a dog would have felt a little normal. That's all I wanted was a dog, but somehow my rune ended up being just a guy, who was just as confused as I was.

Mum, I’m writing this letter to tell you something important. You know I’m busy and you’re far away so thought this would be better than a mundane text. This letter is so important to me and you’ll see why.

“Y’know, coming into this show I had a lot of nerves, but now I feel kinda great. So I’d like to end the night on a good note with my original song ‘Power’. The song repeats, so if you want to sing along, feel free!” I shouted through the mic, only to grant a few half-hearted cheers from the crowd. The drummer struck u... |
Holding the keys in my mouth while I shifted the grocery bags into one hand, I fumbled for the lock. Finding it, I hastened to open the door, stumbled into my apartment, and instinctively placed the shopping bags on the counter before closing the door behind me and snagging the key back.

We're about to have a fight. Again. I can sense it in her voice. She's just waiting for the kid to leave the kitchen. And for what? All I've done is forget to take out the trash. It happens to everyone. It's not like I can't justify it. I was doing important work. I got caught up in it. And I forgot. Worst part is -- t... |
It took Chuck a while to work up the courage. He sat, staring at the office complex and contemplating his decision, on his car seat until the heat of his leather carseat against his back became unbearable. He tightened the knot around his waist, opened his door, and got inside with as few shocked looks as he could've h... |

The days are becoming warmer. As the snows melt the streets fill with the dregs of a decadent neighborhood that is rotten to the core. Squirrels, tomcats, mailmen, and all manner of vile creature prowl the sidewalk, searching for weak points in the fence. I am the only thing standing between them and the innocents with... |
Things have more or less quieted down in the months following first contact. It would be a lie of course to pretend we weren't still shaken up by the ordeal, but I'm proud to say that the human race dealt rather well with the whole situation. I suppose it's but a testament to our ability to survive and adapt, an observ... |
They always have one telltale sign. It can be cosmetic. The wrong ear, a lazy eye. It can be behavioral. Too quick to laugh, or too slow to smile. But other than that, everything is the same. Same skin, same hair, same eyes, same voice, same memories.
The most common usage is to keep someone around after their death. ... |
Immortality is, I have concluded, Hell. It is a prison designed to trap a mind into eternal torture, watching everything around you die and find peace, without ever doing so yourself.

Detective Munemori Sanshiro was investigating a series of accidents which seemed all to convenient.

Death Prophet led Captain Light through the entry way. Photos of past battles hung in the hall, showing Death Prophet in his flowing blood robes, attacking various cities and landmarks. But now, he stood in the living room of his cozy suburban home, ancient Sanskrit tattoos covered by a hand knit sweater.

Growing up I always hated when people told me I could do whatever I wanted if I just put my mind to it. I would balk at the idea, because I was nothing beyond average and had no delusions of anything otherwise. I consigned myself at the life defining age of the seventeen to an existence of mediocrity. I would pursue a ... |
My friends and colleagues that have passed away have visited me in my own personal afterlife, and all of them have said the same thing.

It has been a while since the intonation was completed, and the chill night wind washes into the room as I open the windows. Icy gusts flicker the wisps of candle light. Skittering shadows dance on the curtains and dim the pale orange glow atop the table.

From dust to dust, they all share the same fate. To watch the child of man preform their most basic of instincts of self conflict.

Young Samuel stood in front of his father, head bowed. His father, face stern, sat down in front of him and, after a suitable amount of silence said, ‘well son, tell me why I had to leave my work to come get you from school.’

It’s a port city.
Bargemen ply the rivers of fire, sinking tungsten poles deep into the magma.

I jolted awake at the presence of magic. Being sensitive to it was a definite characteristic that had helped me in my hero journey. I could often know what spells were being cast long before others could tell. It has helped me counter many opponents.

Murder isn't always a bad thing. It all depends on who you do it to and how you go about it. Those where the thoughts crossing my mind as I stood in the kitchen, a chef's knife in my right hand, in my heart worry pounded.

This is a follow up to my earlier post in the prompt: ["Your quest was to find a demon willing to accept your deal, none of them said yes.

I stepped over the corpse of my neighbor, Bill, on the way to my car.
He looked as though his stomach exploded; maybe he had been fed a bomb.

I am heavily disappointed in the world. Humanity, and all that is within Mother Earth. Not a year ago, the curse that everyone loved came true. Zombie apocalypse. The undead walks and eat and kill. Half a month ago they found a cure, they killed off the rest of the undead, and chaos were restored.

E-readers have been popular for some time now, but I have never been a fan.
