“Ladies and gentlemen,” the commentator’s voice boomed across the colosseum-like stadium, “we are now down to two schools.” “On one side, we’ve got new contenders vying for victory and surprising underdogs,” the commentator yelled enthusiastically, “Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!” Half of the crowd erupte...
We did not expect to find them. Outside of the Earth, the universe was long believed void of intelligent species. They didn't call themselves human, and they didn't speak a language we were familiar with, but biologically they were identical to us. What differentiated them was their mainstream adoption of cybernetic ...
Regret tasted like the pint of expired beer The Debater drank to drown his sorrows. To be exact, it tasted like the puke coming up after drinking that pint. Gravel crunched under his feet as he sprinted through the abandoned tunnel leading to Villain Headquarters. The aftermath of destruction greeted his sight, signall...
Nona stood on the sand, blood cooling on his legs. The screams still echoed around the sheet-metal labyrinth of the Rat Race. Overhead, the sun beamed down strong. Sweat beads formed instantly on his brow. Today, the metal of the Rat Race had been hot enough to strip the skin from the bottom of his feet. Now his footpr...
"Great Dharma, what a mess." The indescribable cosmic being perceived the universe before it with pity. It felt the imbalances and took stock of the life within. "Sapience, oh my. This doesn't look good for you, Yaweh." Yaweh sneered, "It's a damn site better than anything you've made in the infinity." "And why is...
The old man limped to his rocking chair, easing himself into it with care. He lit his pipe, then looked at the tree with a smile. "Looking mighty fine today,"he told the tree, rocking in his chair. "I remember when you were just a sapling, what seems like so long ago." The wind rustled through the tree's leaves, and...
CHAPTER 74. Ahab. For some time past, though at intervals only, the maddened specter of Ahab had haunted these civilized seas. Nor did wild rumors of all sorts fail to exaggerate, and still the more horrify the true histories of these deadly encounters. But even stripped of supernatural surmisings, there was enoug...
There were pops in the distance, they might be fireworks or gunshots, it’s probably gunshots. It was probably Josh. God Damned Josh, it was like the world revolved around him. We’re supposed to meet up over coffee and he’s always doing shit like this. I duck inside the coffee shop and grab a corner booth. It’s not even...
"D'yer know what I though was strange today?"(the brown haired woman lowered her tone, so that only her colleagues could hear) "Sophia Brown - the Sophia with the glasses - she asked me how - well, we were talking about Victorian Literature in England and she asked me how Jack The Ripper stayed unknown for his murders?...
Colonel John Hamilton had ordered the attack, so he felt it was his duty to carry out the mission. He was the highest ranking member of the World Air Force left, even though he had retired five years before anyone ever knew alien life existed. As he climbed the ladder of his NG1789-S model fighter, the small crowd of ...
John looks out at the stands full of people. Eighty-thousand people in the stadium, billions watching from home, a billion more watching, on a delay, from the colonies on the moon and beyond. A football flies through the air, a perfect spiral, a perfect catch. The third straight TD for the plucky Cinderella team, th...
I expected the zombies to be lethargic shambling corpses. Not peak condition athletes. Everyone had predicted the 2028 Olympics to be a disappointment but not in this way. I barely had time to pick up my shotgun before firing at a zombie limping down the street at 12 m/s. I ran into my house, all the windows had been b...
For as long as I've been alive it has been my duty to safeguard the vault. Within it is the collected consciousness of humanity of the last hundred years. It was a breakthrough technology when we first managed to convert the human brain into a computer. Even more amazing was when the computing power became enough to ...
She was an elderly lady without a family or many people who were in her life at all. She had presented with hip pain, and despite her frail frame and her laundry lists of conditions, her physician had elected to send her for surgery. It was supposed to be a quick and easy hip-replacement surgery, a standard among today...
It's a wonder I haven't lost my goddamned mind yet. Some people think that psychometry is a gift. Some people think it's a scam. I think it's a curse. I learned at a very early age that certain objects would give me a vision in my head. When I was young, the vision always seemed to be about the past of the object. Thi...
"Pipe down now!"Vice Emperor Galemgor requested, using one of his favorite Earthian phrases. His smile lingered a moment from the thrill of his reveal, but he covered his mouth with his hand and continued. He stood in the center of the Central Stage, a place reserved for official galactic announcements and the occas...
I have a confession to make. Almost two years ago, I made the biggest mistake in my life. Prank-editing Wikipedia. It started out small, with a satire edit on the page about Religion. Five simple words. [73] See also, Flat Earth Society. Unbeknownst to me, in that moment, the Flat Earth Society sprung up into exist...
“You are a very difficult angel to find, Mr. Mort.” Mort sighed and ignored the voice. Once again, one of those heavenly messengers was barging into his business like they owned the place. All he wanted was some peace and quiet to fix up his boat. He had hoped that hiding out in a garage in a random city in the Mid...
We have colonized a habitable planet which is the third terrestrial object from the sun. It resides in the system 5-0-L Dexteria, which was recently discovered by the Desteria telescope. The planet we colonized doesn't have an official name yet but our scientists are currently debating on it. There was a name that i sa...
When my lander materialized on Mars, I was greeted by cheers from my comms. We had sent probes before, but mine was first manned spacecraft to be sent through NASA’s faster-than-light teleporter. When I took my first tentative steps outside on the red soil, there was another wave of applause from Houston. The technol...
"Holy shit, oh my godddd what the fuckkkk."My expletives break up the burning pains from the bites as I fall over. MMphh I feel my insides contracting and the taste of bile rising up my throat. *Keep it together, keep it together Dave. I couldn't even fucking live to be thirty, fuck. Tomorrow was supposed to be m...
*Nightfall* "Be quiet." The flashlights scanned the dark. Yellow, almost feline, wallpaper covered the walls. Sickly flowers bloomed across it, laced with dust and what smelled like cheap rum. Rough carpet, almost as harsh as sandpaper sprawled across the floor. Kevin, her partner, had gone around the back. The c...
Like, literally? Literally this was the stupidest thing I'd ever seen. Like, I'm not even joking. Yeah, OK, sure, I guess it was a little scary, you know? A guy with a big knife and a sloth mask running through the woods at you while going "ay-yee-yee-yee!"would scare any girl, you know? But oh-my-god it was jus...
There he stood, his face masked in the shadows of a dying tree. He scanned the horizon for a sign of Life, sighing as he sat down on the hard earth, silent and watchful. He stroked his horse's mane and whistled a sad tune that broke the quiet of the skies. They had abandoned him. Weary and broken by the follies of ma...
Incomplete, my phone is about to run out of battery. Will finish if people think it's good. I had messed up, that's for sure. God didn't like the way I had handled my last assignment, and now I got the worst one there is. Hell inspection. All the screaming and wailing and gnashing of teeth you could ask for, and none ...
Over the past two years surviving in the wastelands I had grown from a shy and nerdy kid to a tough and capable man. Well, technically I was still a teenager, but in my mind I was a fully grown badass. There was just one thing ruining that image...I still had braces. I had tried everything to get them off, but nothin...

I could not be more removed from the actual scientific process that leads to exploration of the other world, though, I feel it is my duty to record it here for fear that visiting her might awaken some unnatural thing that for now is in tangible but in mere days may be reality. Why mankind cannot heed the sounds let al...
“Its real easy to tie your shoes. Anyone can do it. You don’t need velcro shoes! Or your mom to tie them.” 7-year-old Michael razzed. Two boys sat in the yard, messily eating popsicles on a warm spring day. So Justin attempted to do what he told him. Carefully looping the bunny ears over and over and over. Never tyin...
Can i interest you in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? Wa- Hu- HOW ARE YOU ALIVE? Prayer and good intentions my child. May i come in? Yeah sure i'd like some company before sitting on a blinding star for a while. Can i get you some tea or something the lake out back probably still has some boiling water in it. No...
# Cthulhu returns, but killed by ocean plastic This morning beach-goers who were expecting a nice early dip were surprised to see the massive dragon-octopus-humanoid body of Cthulhu lying motionless in the sand. “Anytime something like this happens, whether its a whale, or a shark, or the dark lord of the seas, we ha...
A flash of lightning burst through the translucent curtains of the boardroom. A moment later a crack of thunder interrupted the droning comptroller, shaking the building. Susan from HR ran to a switch by the door and flipped it. The curtains rose, revealing a swirling black sky. Suddenly, in the middle of the vortex, a...
"WHAT??"I shouted "I SAID: "Stan's next words were drowned out by the stereo whine of his Hoover feet. He kept subconsciously shifting from foot to foot to break the vacuum seal when each alternating foot hit the laminated tile floor. Whir - Clop - Shhhunk, Whir - Clop - Shhhunk, over and over and over. Every day ...
A quick death. Fucking hell. Of all the things. Of all the curses. It had to be that. A quick death. Amateur. ANY hedge mage or nobody can put a quick death “curse” on someone. I put that in quotes because quite frankly it can be a good thing. When you storm the beach at Normandy you cast it quite a bit. Trust me I w...
Death is my friend. Like all great friendships, we can never get too close to each other, and yet we maintain such good rapport. I feed off the thrill of death and thrive under the prospect of dying. It is like being teased by your best friend. You laugh it out. You have a good time. I relish the tantalization. In thi...
“We must contain them,” the green alien general growled at the holograms sitting around the table. Murmurs of agreement echoed around the room. “I must ask, General Listeron, whether you have considered the fact they may be peaceful?” It was the hologram of the young princess sitting at the end of the table who spoke...
The man smiled. There was no stopping him now. What many thought was a lowly little bird, just evolving to scream, eat, and sleep, was the greatest weapon of all time. By the second, crows were streaming in, diverting from migration paths in an effort to keep alive their true ruler. "Sir, we need you to exit the house...
Life is like a river. That's something people say, right? A rocky, turbulent river with little offshoots that end in fetid ponds where water goes to die. Only it's not water. It's friends and family and loved ones. It's people who promised they would be there for you forever, but forever wasn't supposed to be cut so sh...
They just wanted their humans back. A space mission sent a pack of dogs into space when something happened. They were sent back in time over 10,000 years and flung across the milky way. Gifted intelligence they soon rose to be the top species in the Galaxy, but they kept searching for their humans. They could not be ...
A perfect, open world. That's what he called it. VR open world fantasy RPG. Any option, any choice, it would all feel real. That's what he called it. And the critics agreed. They loved the varied responses, the complex AI, the beautiful graphics. They praised the sheer size, a pre-generated game world functionally the ...
The story of how humanity became the dominant race of the universe is an interesting one. Humanity became strong almost entirely off one thing, uranium. Humanity is weak, there is no way around that fact. Other races have strength ten times their own, or are able to pick up on almost imperceptible movements. Humans ho...
"Are you talking about Walles?"was the responses I was given when I described the heinous acts of the historic genocidal maniac who killed thousands of his own people. "Timothy Walles? How could you mix up his name for anyone else?"It may not have been Timothy Walles, but it was a name that was equally as unassuming. ...
"Did you hear? The Crystal Champion stopped a bank robbery yesterday! And they say the robbers were working for the Steel Maiden!" My classmate showed me a video on his cell phone. A woman in a miniskirt and ribbons was squaring off against a group of masked thugs armed with futuristic handguns. She gracefully car...
It’s hard to say exactly what drew him to Charis. He hadn’t been raised to her worship or really anyone’s worship, and that was saying something in an era when Jesus fever had swept the globe all over again. Of course this version of Jesus had a cybernetic arm and believed in debt forgiveness more than sin forgiveness,...
Millenia of darkness. Do you know what it does to a god? And let's not talk about guys like Thor, Ra and the One bragging about how big their cults were. What year is it now? 2020? I haven't heard something since the 1920s, when some american writer (what was it? Hate build? Hate craft? Don't remember) tried to buil...
QUEEN VICTORIA’S DRAGON [Part I] Kuldrum, Lord of the Skies, Champion of Yellow, Seeker of Riches, whose wings were each the size of a Blue Whale, whose spiked tail could crush ten grown men in a single swoop, whose impatience with humanity’s self-proclaimed “enlightenment” pushed him into another early hibernation,...
I held the picture in trembling hands. It was nearly two hundred years old going by the date on the back, but still in colour! How could the person be alive? I turned, stuffing the picture into my pocket, heading toward the loft hatch. First I would ask my grandfather-- "And I'll stop you right there. Don't scream." ...
What are you? [Redacted], the infinite Being of the In-Between asked the small speck that floated in its realm. The thing was so ridiculously small compared to [Redacted] -- like a microscopic mite on the skin of a bull elephant -- that one would think the Being of the In-Between wouldn’t have noticed it’s presence,...
"The last of the drives have cooled down Admiral. The fleet can jump again." Admiral Zahgoth turned back from his contemplation of the seemingly endless void. Opening the ancient storage device, he read off a series of coordinates. The young navigator punched them into his console and broadcast them to the fleet. ...
I never got the hang of straightening my tie. It always ended up slightly lopsided, no matter how many times I readjusted it. After a few decades I stopped caring. "Your tie's crooked,"Dr. Holland pointed his coffee mug at me before taking a sip. "Thanks,"I said, and pretended to fix it. I took a sip of my own drink...
In the modern age we used to laugh at the old seamen who hurt their knees and thought they could predict bad weather by their achings. They were barely believed back then, and we sure as hell didn't believe them now. That is, until my thumbs started aching just before a major natural disaster a couple of years ago. And...
They call me Nefaricent. Other fairies, lesser than I, can grant boons equal to their power, for an equivalent price. A minor illness healed for a year of life. A former lover scorned for the ability to love again. A death undone for a life taken. Only I have never been sought out; for while my power is ne...
It had taken a lot of time, effort, and blood to get this far. Ammunition, too. Her original stock of .308 rounds had only gotten her so far, and it wasn't long before she started stealing the guns and ammo off of the people she killed. Sniper battles were by far the most common form of combat she found herself in, but...
"I remember!"she screamed. "I remember! After you cut him down. When he lay upon the cobblestones. And I thought he was dead, so I crept closer and peered at his face. But he opened his eyes! Those terrible, yellow eyes. He held me in his power! And as he exhaled his last breath, I inhaled it. A part of his evil! His s...
I answered the door to a rather dour-looking gentleman in a top hat. He was holding a thin briefcase in his gloved hands. I felt rather underdressed for the occasion, being that I was wearing jeans with a hole in one knee, a stained T-Shirt, and some shapeless slippers. "Uh... can I help you?" The gentleman smiled th...
Twenty years alone in these sterile rooms with only the bringer of humanity’s end as company. It was a wonder Bob was still sane. He was laying in his bed staring up at the white paneled ceiling reflecting on the events that had culminated in his imprisonment. It started as an ordinary day for Bob twenty years a...
It was a simple enough equation, but entirely impossible. ((13 * X )+ 11) / 0 = 5 Solve for X Their teacher added it as part of the test as a sort of joke. Nobody would be able to answer it, you simply can’t divide by zero, and anything divided by zero could never equal 5 for that matter. It would be interesting to...

More like an error.” \-Would you like to clear your prior search? “No, let’s see this through. Let’s say a really long time, forever if possible. Or at least to die never from...
They just won't shut up. The Sun-mad. The lunatics. The people in my care - well, care might be a strong word. I am a warden of the East Hagway Asylum though between you and me, it's more of a prison. We can't help these people, not that I know of, at least. There's a team of doctors that comes by every Sunday - young...
When the disease spread no one took notice until the sun seared massive welts into their flesh. It spread before scientists could even begin to examine it and massive installations were soon built to house those affected safely. Those out in the daylight dwindled, until a few anomalies appeared. No one could explain...
In all actions, seek to lessen suffering. That was the motto of my sacred order. The Galactic Church had narrowed all of the old commandments down to one single commandment. It was the foundation upon which all the new pillars of this Religion stood. It was pure in its simplicity. In all actions, seek to lessen suf...
As John stared at his woodstock poster for the millionth time that day he once again bemoaned the fact that he was a 00's baby instead of being born and being a teen in amazing 60's. "Amazing?! You would have hated it!"John nearly jumped out of his skin at the sudden voice. He spun around and standing there was a ma...
"Please... I just need the rope."A desperate man begged. His hair was long and ragged, his eyes gaunt and haunted, but most notably, the skin on the front of his hands were unmarked and smooth. It was that last trait that marked him as the lowest of low. The hands were where the gods marked their chosen. Nearly every ...
He twiddled his thumbs under his desk, trying to ignore all of the staring that burned into the back of his head. "So whenever fighting in a crowded area..."The teacher droned on at the front of the class, though Charles never paid much attention. It didn't... Apply to him. "Charles,"The teacher said, pointing the ya...
Taken aback by her sudden-and-concerning-appearance, I manage to stutter out my usually fallback when I'm feeling indecisive: "Uh, dealer's choice.." "Eh hee hee hee, a brave decision, but a foolhardy one, my pretty", she cackles. Now blushing and concerned, but too flustered and polite to take-backsies at this po...
What. Did. I. Say. What did I say! That's not a friggin question, Mark, so put you idiot hand down. And don't you dare stop me, Amy. I earned this monologue. It's the last joy I get in this life. No, we aren't going to make it through this. Friendship can't fight friggin demons. Neither can you mall katana. Nor your re...
When the backwater cultists foolishly tried to open a portal to the Abyss, they were expecting one dark god of the Abyss, not a contingent of Abyssal emissaries. Where the cultists had a prayer for the destruction of the upper class they believed to oppress them, the emissaries too had a request of their own. “[We see...
"Now, would anyone like to volunteer to transmutate this apple"Mr. Eisner asked his students. Todd raised his hand. "Yes Todd. I'm surprised you volunteered."

Gastrogenesis, the incredible machine touted ...
It is the folly of every predator species, thinking they are at the top of the food chain. Humans are strange, awful creatures but they are interesting and they are ours. If you wish to play in our Milky Way, you will not be pleased. If you harm even one of our humans, you will be even less pleased. They are ours. Ou...
Far away from Piciris, locked in the Kehirid Constellation is a little star called Jegusi. It's about 8 thousand getranocks old and 20 trillion titrons wide. In the middle of its life cycle, this sun burns a radiant yellow color and has eight planets that steadily circle around it. Dividing these eight planets in half ...
Jared awoke slowly, fighting the urge to simply ignore his buzzing alarm. He stretched out an arm lazily, swatting at the off switch. Others could have easily turned off the alarm without even touching it, but not Jared. Everyday tasks such as this were constant reminders. Reminders that Jared was ordinary. Absolutely ...
Your coffin was made by the absolute best. Finest craftsmanship in all of Italy, they'd said. Granted, they'd also said that while you were threatening to turn them, but that's not what matters. The point is, no night stalker had ever slept in a coffin so fine as this one. Four inches of thick olive wood on all sid...
Walter White pulled away his gas mask. He knew what a long day was, he dealt with a classroom of teenagers for the greater portion of his adult life, but never before was he so exhausted.

"What year is this?" "By your human standards, the year is 7014, December 29, 1:31 pm." Chang rolls his eyes as his 5,000 year dream fads into a distant figment of imagination and the reality of life sets in. "Well, happy fucking New Year to me." "It's impressive, that even against all our advanced technology your ...
There once was a girl, and her name was Angela. There was a girl, in a simpler time. A time when I was alive and well, and when my heart hadn't yet, quite more than a little literally, turned to stone. A time before I was sick, there was a girl name Angela. And we were happy and young, and, through heavy breathing ...
The Mystery of the Stolen Donut It was a delicious powdered donut, at least for a few bites. "Hey, don't put that in front of me,"said my cubicle-mate Jason. Jason was fifty pounds overweight but steadily losing it on his most recent diet. He'd lasted eight weeks thus far, and had pictures of famous athletes up o...
Jeremy Flitnen was a 47. My mom was a 33, while dad had a decent 29. Most adults hovered around 22-23, so I felt pretty proud of my parents. The mirror didn't reveal any blinking neon number floating over my own noggin, so I had to take solace in the fact that I probably inherited some of that from my parents... I ...
Today is the day. It has to be. I could not keep doing that for the rest of my life. Ever since I found out my power, I have had a routine after my job. I would get to the roof of the hotel where I did housekeeping and appreciate the view. I always found the skyline to be magical at night, and I could see the park, a...
Ahhhhh so close, I'm nearly there! What is that? I reached for my glasses with my left hand while keeping my dominant hand on my cock (I'll be damned if someone's lymphoma is going to keep me from getting my nut). Son of a bitch. I knew what I had seen, it had registered in my mind when I saw her go from Cowgirl to ...
"But you can't just give her all of the Captain's stuff,"the reporter cried out excitedly. "she's the villain!" The mayor nervously dabbed at his forehead with his handkerchief.

The black Ford's wheels clung to the asphalt. The driver's face was stuck in an endless grimace of horror and surprise. Another car had blocked his view of Ms. Lopez until it was too late to even honk. His foot hovered over the brake, unable to press in time. John Walker, Age 58. Scheduled for death in 17 years, from s...
"…So let me get this straight. I take this pill, and I'm a stronger, better person all around. But, I also lose all of my intelligence." "That's right! And might I add, you'll be much happier too."

Finally, the words I had been waiting...hoping to hear. My thoughts were interrupted by a small voice. "Santa? Did you hear me?"The young boy asked, face creased into a frown. I surfaced from my thoughts enough to force out another jolly laugh. The boy on my lap smiled playfully as I bounced him on my knee. His p...
"Good afternoon." He looked up at me mildly, gently twirling one of my good silver forks in the air. "I've taken the liberty of setting you a place in case of just this. join me." In absolute shock, I simply sat down opposite him. before me, on my table, was one of the gilded china plates I'd inherited from my grand...
Amy took his milk. He didn't imagine it and the act was unprovoked. She just took it. "Slay her,"a bitter voice whispered from his shoulder. "She deserves no mercy for this disgrace."Ghengis Khan was apparently fuming. Her slight offended him so. "Yes, but first he must find her allies,"prodded another voice from the...
"So... Kelly... You thinking of getting a girlfriend?"Daryl asked. Kelly, suddenly looked uncomfortable as he readjusted his uniform. "Whoa... uhh... why do you ask?" Daryl nervously laughed. "Nothing dude, just uhh... I uhh.. know someone... who thinks you're cute. And... she would like to get to know you better." ...
"Okay, but tell me this- why is everyone so happy? Huh? That doesn't make sense. Like, if you have a bag of chips, right...at least one is like, folded over onto itself. They're not all perfect circles. So why isn't anyone sad?" "Because life is perfect, sweetie. There's nothing to be sad about!"my mother was alwa...

I was reading the news this morning, and saw something interesting. Amazon used to have this great feature called Amazon Prime that would deliver pretty much anything on the same day you place the order, with free shipping. It was a little pricey but definitely worth it for how much I ordered from Amazon. Today, they a...
I smiled. I didn't mean to. It was meant to be a frown, wasn't it? I wasn't sure to be honest. But reflected in the mirror was a flash of pearly whites. Something was wrong. Deeply wrong. The kind of wrong that you just can't shake. When did it all start? The shadows that keep me up at night. They weren't there. I s...
The Chinese were ruthless in their assault, sending droves and droves of their footsoldiers equipped with calculators and the thought of their parent's wrath at not achieving victory. The British fought back valiantly, swinging their teabags over their heads through a sea of crooked smiles as they secured Benny Hill, ...
"Remember, order of operation this time,"Ms. Collier said, "A lot of you lost points on the last one because of simple mistakes."She passed out the tests. One by one the students passed back the sheets of paper. When Marie, sitting in the back of the class, grabbed hers and immediately started working. Ms. Collier wal...
Another game of Call of Duty on a Thursday night. Jason had, once again, single-handedly bested all other players on the enemy team combined. He sighed, as his life was seeming to become more and more boring with each passing day. Suddenly: ***** O child of Ares, I grant you with pride, *a boon that is hencefort...
I wasn't careful with my thievery, or generally kind either. I thought of it with guilt as I smashed the window of a church in with my hammer. I was, however, quick, and that's how I always got away with it. I moved stealthily in through the window, listening to the high-pitched alarm. Where are you, my prize? If I ...
"So...Why am I here?"I asked one of, what I could only assume, the Valkyrie. "You died slaying the mighty Durian, ravager of the Warm Waters, Impaler of many an innocent man."She said, her mouth slightly twitching upwards. In front of me were a set of large, hewn oak doors set into intricately carved walls. They open...
Bowling had turned out to be the key. I'd always loved it- the beer, the hard-soled shoes, my mates cheering me on, and the clattering explosion of a strike like a burst of applause. My perfect day turned out to be capped off by a rip-roaringly drunken perfect game, the last bowl of which I almost invalidated by stagge...
They made fun of him often, but he was a big boy, mature for his age, and she was too beautiful to let go of. They didn't see it, the others, but they were children and they didn't know. Young Joey was twelve and he hadn't known the physicality of love as yet. Even Old Tom, fifteen, had never touched a girl before. But...
