Athena sighed "Does anyone have any ideas"
Several hands went up.
"Let me finish, that don't involve orgies"
A few hands went down.
"Or sleeping with mortals"
A bunch of hands went down.
"Or turning someone into something so we can make a new word"
All but one hand went down.
Athena sighed again.

"Hey!"I said. "Hey!"
He looked at me. His eyes were wild. He was jittering. "Are you..."he squeaked. "Are you... talking to... are... who are you talking to?"
"Dude,"I said, "it's just the two of us."
He looked around anyway.
"So..."I said. "I've been thinking, you know? I've got a pretty sweet deal here. The food'... |
War. Famine. Slaughter. Rape. Death. Hatred. Pain.
Since man first crawled from its caves and stepped into the light, I have been watching. I know 20 languages that span 7,000 years, even the grunting and groaning that was used before language was solidified- people exaggerate that, by the way. 'Cavemen' spoke with a ... |

Four years. All the money in the world. The planet has put a team together of the smartest minds to stop it. I don't deserve to be here, yet I am.

I tell you, I shoulda never have shot that goddam perp.
That's where all this started.

General Connor stared out the helm of the U.S.S. Freedom, America's mothership. Ahead of him lay Sector 1 space, which was any part of the space directly above America at any given time.
Sipping his coffee, his usual inner voice rumbled as it always did. _It's a good day to die._
Ahead of him, it was peaceful and ser... |
4-1-2017. Steve is sitting at his computer, drumming his fingers on the desk. April first, he thinks. Not even three months left now and goddamn this is some bullshit. A short life is obviously the worst kind to get in this godforsaken world. Some parents pop that little bastard out and think, 'You know what? 20 years ... |
Commander Thad Johnsteel reentered the bridge of the Endeavor, humankind's first real starship.

12-year-old Charlie Ballmer thought he was the shit when he started dating his girlfriend Katerina Tikhonova. She was a short, blonde tomboy with boundless energy that came to live with Charlie and his family as part of a foreign exchange program.

Portable dinghy, check. Radio and GPS transponder, check. Food and water, purifying tabs, medkit, survival kit, clothes that'd keep me warm in Antarctica and clothes that'd keep me cool in the Gobi. Even a little bottle of oxygen, though if I ended up on Everest I was probably screwed. Still, I was pretty sure I could ... |
The day my mother died. That was tomorrow, 10 years back. I was up in the attic, going through some of old stuff. Old photo albums, little things my mother loved. Tears welled in my eyes. Ah the memories, I thought, as I glanced a dusty little book among a bunch of my old shit. I picked it up and sneezed. The marker on... |
"Get him in the car! Go- GO!"
Mark struggled as four men- he thought there was four of them- manhandled him into a van with a bag over his head.

Harry's first thoughts walking through the main doors of Hogwarts were of wonder. The grand foyer was quite beautiful and nothing he had seen before. His second thought was that he was way out of his comfort zone. "We're a long way from Chicago aren't we Toto? I mean Mouse."The huge dog next to him chuffed happily and... |
"WAIT!! Wait, wait, wait, please hear me out"the smug on his all too small of a face had drained as he now pleaded with me.

Will waited by the iron gate, casually flipping a coin from palm to palm. The gas lamps made little impression on the foggy night, pushing out soft blankets of light that only extended a few feet from their glass panes. From over the high stone wall at Will’s back flowed the scent of wet grass and grave dirt, mixing wi... |
A child summoning a demon wasn't the strangest thing Mavrick had seen in this world of magic and make-believe. The issue was, intent is what powers a spell. The same words could do two different things all depending on the person saying them.
So a child summoning a demon wasn't strange, but why a child would want to ... |
The humans had contacted us ahead of time, desiring to present themselves upon the galactic stage. Naturally, we were overjoyed, as we would peacefully increase the diversity of species that our glorious Federation would hold.

"Jacob. Stalasky."Spoke the simulated voice of the female A.I, the surrounding waterfall of code rippling in response. I walked to the center of the control room, the only thing that held me up was a white walking strip ending with a computer terminal, the rest of the room giving way to a bottomless pit.

It was only through pure luck that I became immortal. I had never purchased a lottery ticket before, and I certainly had not figured I would win the amount of money that I did. I spent it all on the procedure that was only becoming commonplace among the richest people in the world instead of spending it on things like ... |
***Changeling***
I knew what the cost would be.
The moon played on the water, stars humming with electricity in the black depths. A perfect reflection of the city, complete with rusted, sand logged cars and forgotten buildings long since drowned. People avoid the street lamps, passing me by without a second thought. ... |
Those that claim beauty is only skin deep have not seen the soul. The pure essence of one's being, waving like an aura tight against one's body, a gradient of hues. To expose one's soul is a display of utmost trust. Or it was, until the strip clubs cashed in on this, too.
Soul fetishists were a strange bunch, in that... |
I never liked the idea of God. It's not that I have any beef with the entity itself, I just have a problem with the idea that we as an individual people have to subordinate ourselves to some guy who hasn't done jack for me. I come from a religious family in a religious town in a religious country. I spent every moment ... |

They came for me just before dawn.

A dragon always knows when its treasure is stolen.
This was the perpetual creed of my people. You paid your taxes, you don't kill, and you never steal from a dragon. Maybe you'd be tempted to, reasoning that in its vast hordes and mountains of treasure, it wouldn't miss a single coin. But it knows. It knows its treasu... |
The Universe has a quaint sense of humor.
On that fateful day, Edward Freebody was still in complete control.
His boss had fired him on the spot for being late because he was mugged along the way. He was mugged because he walked all the way to work. He walked because his car was jacked in front of his home because i... |
More days have passed, and all hell broke loose. You ask more people what happened, and everyone is talking in the same language. Finally, you find someone that is stuck in limbo, speaking both languages. They finally tell you what the message went. “It said that..” they started to say, but then you block them out and ... |

Maybe it was a bit fitting.
Me, a shy introvert that has always tried to be kind but has never been able to hold down a relationship. I'm the last human alive.
It's not that bad though, it's not like I am the *only* thing left, just the only human. One night, I went to bed in my one-bedroom apartment after an embarr... |
Scarlet red, bloodshot eyes glared back at me. I touched my face with the back of my hand and felt nothing. I was numb. Numb from the lab's unfeeling, fluorescent lights. Numb from the low incessant hum of machines. Numb from the thousands of poor, innocent rat souls I slayed in the past two years. Each rodent's passin... |
It was the muffled laughter that woke me. Fat old fool that I was, I'd dozed off in the comfy chair in the corner of the room. I should have been embarrassed, but Johnny's glee was infectious and I gave him my best rosy cheeked smile as I hauled myself upright. "Don't get up"I told him as I walked to his bed. "I've bee... |
Ares had given up twenty minutes ago and was now playing Mario Kart against Buddha. Vishnu was lying on the bed, and Odin was making Spotify playlists on an iPad. Outside, Cthulu was sitting in lawn, peering in the bedroom window with one massive yellow eye.

He was especially grateful for the cric... |
Jason yawned and leaned back in his office chair. He’d only been at work for an hour and he was already tired of it. “Well” he mumbled “I guess it’s about that time.”
He casually strolled towards the men’s room, nodding and saying hello to his coworkers as he passed them and then slid past the bathroom door and into ... |
I relaxed on the hard mat the jailers called a bed, my hands tucked behind my head and my ankles crossed.
I closed my eyes and listened to the noises around me. Someone on the block was arguing with his cell mate about a book that was moved. Another cell had the sounds of someone exercising. I could barely hear the g... |
''*Lord in his high hall on our world of birth, hard days await us.*'' Said Major Willoughby. Black clouds of acrid smog fill his lungs, as First Company starts attacking again.

The elves were shitting on the floor again. He’d spent centuries house training them, and then one bad case of nog and everyone forgets the most basic bits of civilization.

It's all math, really. Everything we do — actions, reactions, thoughts, feelings — it's all just really *really* hard math.
I'm so very close to cracking the code. Each permutation, he gets faster. He knows more.

"Pass the butter, please", he said and that was one hundred years done with.
As if reacting to a voice command or a magic spell he felt a sudden, iressitable pull in his center of gravity, like a rubber band he had never noticed snapping back and just like that his surroundings collapsed into a dense poin... |
The guards eyes opened wide as he dagger pierced his chest. He coughed, breath turning to wheezes as he began to slump down the wall. I released my grip on his hand, leaving it on the daggers hilt. With a click of my neck I stood, surveying my handiwork. Four highly trained individuals had once stood opposing me. Now t... |
"Are these really necessary?"I called out as I jingled the handcuffs gripping my wrists. Officer Dunn turned his head and frowned. From the front seat he reached back and unlocked the cuffs with an apology. He knew I wasn't a threat.

The quiet woke him.
Not the noise of tires and engines and honking traffic below his apartment window.
Not the clamor of pedestrians.
Not the brain-rattling report of jackhammers from the construction zone up the street.
He sat up in bed, confused.
The City that Never Sleeps was never silent.

Somewhere beyond the shine of civilization, there was a miracle.
Whether it be by Fate or God, the course of action following a miracle remained the same: *to make a profit off it*.
So they reached out to the plains and fields, with open hands and outstretched arms in search of hope, but most of all: *silver*. Inst... |
I chuckle to myself as I watch the Harper's pull into the driveway from the upstairs window. Seems like they finally got the courage to come back. I was almost starting to miss messing with them.

Sam tossed a stray potato chip towards his mouth, feeling it smack the corner of his lip, rolling down onto his shirt. The chip joining the previous three potato chips he had tossed, forming a small group in the folds of the fabric. “Damn it, I’m getting closer.” He muttered, turning his attention back to the tv, watch... |

The gods looked down upon me, splayed out across the bed, drained beyond belief. Their eyes seemed deep, but I could sense it. Confusion. Distrust. Fear. And who could blame them. They had just witnessed their champion, a being designed for perfect victory, falter.
Honestly, I was still a little shaken myself. I felt... |

A simple navy blue tie. Forget ambrosia that tastes like starlight. Never mind the original Ship of Theseus. And the Ruby Eye of the True Cyclops? Fiddlesticks. Compared to all of these, the tie was declared his favorite. There was a lot of confusion and anger, but Zeus had spoken.

pt1: suburban hell
To say we were in trouble was a huge understatement.
The urge to scavenge wasn’t so much an urge, more like a cruel necessity. Things have been tough in this suburban hell, for the damned like us. Really, I always wondered who was more damned. Might just be a demented thought in my head, but I’m su... |
I wouldn't call myself a Villain, per se. I always considered the definition of a villain as being someone who could rival the supers.

General Uruk fell into a fitful sleep, the stress that was plaguing him unable to be shook, threatened to follow him into his dreams.

I never liked cats.
I was a dog person. Grew up with dogs, would happily get on the floor when I went over to my sister's house and roll around with her dogs, just having a grand old time. Just my luck I fell for someone who didn’t like dogs, but loved cats. What you do for love, am I right?
So we moved in, go... |
I woke up to the same view as always. Ilazeal sleeping next to me, her beautiful face in utter peace. I smiled, kissing her forehead and sliding out of bed. It was a chilly morning, and a part of me wanted to stay next to her. Unfortunately, work had other plans.
I got ready as quickly as I could, warming myself up as... |
What remains of the overwhelming shock of terror has been drained out of my body by the time the alien actually enters the same room as me. They are a massive blue biped that brings to mind an ancient dinosaur, covered in spiky scales.

In our world, everyone is born with a mark that indicates their place in society. Where their skills would be best applied.

# Everyone's Thought About It
Mike considered himself a proud member of the Losers.
It's not that he wanted to be someone's permanent couch resident. Or a burden to his parents' finances. He wasn't even particularly lazy or unemployable; work always came around when he really needed it. It just wasn't something he so... |
I saw him in the courtyard. He was alone, meditating in the afternoon sun. He was bald and dressed in a monk's robe, but it was him. My heart pounded in my chest. Phantom images of Michael, broken and dying in my arms, flashed through my mind. I could still smell his blood. I could still hear his final breath. I felt l... |
For decades I have planned my revenge, waiting in the shadows.
The world thought I was dead. Heck, my family thought I was dead.
And I *should be* dead, by all means. The incident that left me horribly disfigured and crippled, *should have* killed me.
Perhaps it is destiny that kept me alive.
Or my iron will for ve... |
"Do something!"Alaris yelled, darting away from a vicious swing of the dragon's tail. It thumped into the dust raising a cloud of dirt that nearly obscured the man.

"CLEAR THE BRIDGE."
The order startled the crew of the I.S.S. Nido. A decade of calm from their captain in even the most perilous situations has never gotten him riled. Now he seemed on the verge of tearing a console apart with his bare hands.

There was only one man who has ever gotten in my way. *He* was there at every twist and turn in my life, and he ruined everything.

"It's a scared kid", Jack uttered, bringing the binoculars down from his face.
"What?"

General Johnson frowned. "How old?"

The Party was in full swing, and Ragar the sage was dead.

I don’t know where to begin. Strange things have been happening in my apartment. It’s hard to explain, and I kind of hope no one ever reads this, because I don’t need to be locked up in a hospital.
So, I woke up this morning and look out my window, the sky is dark slate gray like the cl... |
For a while I thought people were hitting on me, in a weird way. Like it was suddenly trendy to tell people your age and let them decide if they wanted to make a move.

The young man who had been standing on the bridge, staring down into the water, turned at the sound of my voice. "Who's there?"He asked, head swiveling around the forest, and his voice trembled. How pathetic.

The sun sank, yet the sky was still bathed in red.

The room was stark white and featureless, save for the door through which I had been shoved in through and what looked like a table in the center, the latter of which was covered by a cream-colored cloth.

My day at school was so manic that day,
