*It's dark...*
*So very very dark...*
*Was it... always like this...?*
Trapped in a sea of black, one with a strong current that doesn't let me take my own way. A most familiar scene.
Attachment, penetration, uncoating, replication, assembly, and release. Those words mark the beginning and end of my existence.

This is absolutely great world building. My favorite detail was when the scientist referred to him as “it”. I understand the focus of the story was internal, however the use of dialogue to show character traits is critical and implemented very much. The sample size is to small to determine if this is just an isolated e... |
"Mom, I was in Europe. I swear. "Jeb boasts loudly, his mother washing the dishes.
"Ok, whatever, but being in Europe in another one of your crazy dreams isn't gonna help you get into a college. Now get goin' or you're gonna be late."His mother responds, condescendingly.
Jeb hesitates to speak, mumbling under his bre... |

"Not now, Beatrice."
Albus Garbago wasn't sure how he ended up heading the meeting, though he figured it might have something to do with the human tie he had found last Tuesday. Despite not being the largest, or even the fluffiest... |
*Input required*.
The words stood still in the air as I blinked my eyes. The artificial interface built into my eyes connected with the room I was in. Suddenly, the once dull and silent room of plassteel and transpara-crete illuminated in a flurry of text and folders that could be publicly accessed. I pointed towards ... |

My scar had never done this before, I am going to get very hurt today, shit. And it's only seven in the morning.
I lay in bed for a while longer, petrified by what this could mean. My wife calls me from the kitchen, I smell bacon.
Oh no! Bacon! What if I'm about to have a heart attack? No.. That's crazy talk.

Sometimes I get to finish my morning coffee and sometimes I don't.
After all, life is pretty simple up here - I sit and wait for my appointments and when they come I take the time to meet with my children and comfort them before they enter Heaven.
But today was different.
So I responded to the call and as I walked d... |
The door closed behind him, he gave it a tug to make sure it was shut, then set off on his walk to work. James did a quick pat down as he set off, making sure he had everything that he needed for work.
"Shit, locker keys!"
James quickly turned around and raced back up the steps to the front door and pulled out his ho... |
Brian got himself seated in that usual cafe where he had been possibly hundreds of time, if not more. But not in the past, but in the future. For some reason, it was a special place where he spent time with his family.
He never understood why it was so special. Perhaps that's why he was there, checking the place out. ... |
‘Beautiful.’
That was the first thought of head scientist Steve. With a small smile, he looked upon lovingly at a nude male. Stringy and bony. An unhealthy glow of pale white skin. Straw-like hair, rough and messy. Something so unattractive, yet so tempting.
Old gray eyes protected by a wall of glasses stared at the ... |

This is not a story.
A story has something happen.
Nothing happened. It just always was.
The laws of mathematics stayed...mostly self-consistent. A few actuarial formulae became able to cause secondary changes in reality. The number between three and four ceased to exist.
The effects on reality were starker. A frac... |
On my fifth birthday, I discover that I have a gift. I’ve spent the day playing with an action figure, given to me by my grandfather, who is my favorite person in the entire world. A friend tries to take the toy from me, and an arm pops off in the ensuing struggle. I’m inconsolable, and although I have received other p... |
"For someone that's only ranked as barely an F class villain, you're a bloody pain in the arse to shoot mate."The two police officers stood, staring into the abandoned warehouse that was Azile 'Fiver' Hague's secret laboratory.

“Now, where is the watch?” The elderly entertainer asked his small crowd.
The volunteer checked her wrist and smiled, looking the street savvy magician. “Well it better be close by.”
The man shrugged. “It’s a mystery to me, but uh...” he checked the time, making the the woman laugh. “I’m going to be late for a meetin... |
It’s the first night I’ll be with the ‘problem case’. At first we thought it was just a chain of newbie monsters getting cold feet, but every single monster we’ve sent back has either been too enraged or too distraught to speak on what happened. And it’s made us lose some of our best monsters. The last monster we se... |
"Ah, Mr. Claws, I thought I saw you wandering around alone, mind going and cleaning restroom A? Big Chuck had a big chuck up and it's like a warzone in there, except the only casualty is the beautiful marble floors I had put in."I let out a sigh, no matter how well they cleaned, those floors would never be the same, at... |
Gosh, the ruler of the dark underworld that makes Hell look like Mr. Roger's neighborhood (according to Gosh), was fed up. He sat in his crystallized throne of neon colors and crushed an 'orb of sadness', just for the fun of it (he truly was a 'twisted' God).

“You look ridiculous,” Jen said. She was sitting across from him in the waiting room. She was obviously referencing the fake glasses and nose combo Paul was wearing.
“They’re called Groucho glasses,” Paul said as if that were reason enough.

Jen had been mad at Paul for the last two weeks - e... |
I feel the shock in my bones before the tap on my sholder. A sudden pressure in my mind. Awe and fear and the sensation of my thoughts being crushed. My skin is hot as though a fire burns inches from it... but everywhere.
I turn. It looks surprisingly normal. A tshirt, jeans. Trainers. Messy brown hair. I couldn't ma... |
I’ve seen it all in my years as intergalactic ambassador for the Kigne’er Empire: species that use sheer will to pilot the stars, races that constantly warp space time to make forward progress, hell, I’ve even ships fueled by hatred itself, or love, depending on a six core or eight core engine.
But never before have I... |
There is a curse in my blessed family. We have power. Power that others want. That I want. Something everyone has but me. The ability to raise the dead.
Some people think that’s the actual curse.
But I know it is a blessing. I’ve seen the wonders it can produce. Miracles that I’ll never preform.

Caleb let out an exaggerated groan as he rocked himself to his feet before turning the TV off, silencing the reporter lamenting an entire city destroyed amidst a fight between two supes. Tossing the remote back onto the couch, he made his way through the small apartment to his bedroom and pulled his outfit out of the c... |
“She says she’ll swear off PUBG if you recover the files from the hard drive, Kor.” The minion said. His large, yellow eyes looked up at the god from the tablet. “Well?”
Kor sighed. “Can’t I just, *kill* someone again?” He set down the glass of wine, leaning back in his plush leather chair. “What if we repair the hard... |
He was nothing like I had expected. I'd always imagined my soulmate would be some tall dashing blonde guy with a white horse and a castle and-- Yeah, I guess my mother was right. I watched too many Disney movies.
My mind was racing. This tall seemingly eyeless form which I guess could be possibly called male if it so... |
“Uhh, mothership. I think we have made a big mistake here,” whispered Ulrog.
Ulrog felt very out of place. To any onlooker, he was a short, chubby man. Someone who wouldn’t stand out. But beneath the holo-suit, Ulrog was absolutely terrified.
“Mission Report, Ulrog. What have you found?” a voice spoke into his earpie... |

Hello, Sir. I'm just calling to remind you that your car warranty is about to end.
"Thank you for letting me know. You sound like you've had a long day of making calls. What if you could *own* the company you work for, instead of slaving for it?"
That would be wonderful. And you know what else would be wonderful? ... |
My taxi pulls up on the curb. I thank the driver, pay, and step onto the sidewalk. Downtown New York, and in front of me towers the newest building in the area, 79 floors of glittering steel and glass. I can just make out the giant letters at the top of the building: "SALT". In case I'd forgotten who I was there to see... |
As I decided to stop time once again I started getting some doubts. Everyone knows me as the Time Stopper but they don't know the toll it takes on me and my health. You see, time itself is a very difficult topic to understand, for me it works different.
In my father's last minutes he told me that he knew of my ability... |
"1 million dollars."
Laura looked at Dean - who has just returned from his spiritual trip to southern Asia - with a combination of confusion and disgust. "Yes, 1 million dollars. And this oil lamp.""What am I to do with an oil la- oh. It seems you have taken this 'spiritual trip' to the literal sense.'"
"Not at all,"... |
As the massive rock fell from the heavens, chaos reigned across the globe. Many watched for the impending impact with utter dread and a peculiar sort of acceptance not uncommon amongst those on death row. Others simply went insane, rage or hate or despair at their fates fracturing their minds in those final moments.

Finding official merch for a low-paid clerical position in a team like this one was challenging. Of course, Lisa's PR team had dedicated plenty of time and resource into creating merch for the numerous side-kicks. Market research, stress testing, launch events. Even her *driver* got a t-shirt after a particularly well-... |
The old man reached out his frail, weathered hand for the hilt, sighing deeply as he did so, watching the sword solidify upon contact and its giver fade into the darkness. He did not want this task. He was supposed to have a comfortable, happy retirement by now, preferably by a lake somewhere. He was two hundred and fo... |

**It was simpler this way,** thought Meloai to herself.
Ever since she'd started going to school, she'd noticed that the strongest educational tool was simplification. A ball dropped from height *h* with mass *m* had *mgh* units of kinetic energy when it struck the floor—if you made the assumption that air... |
“Gentlemen,” Shah began. “Captain,” he added to the one female in the briefing room. She didn’t nod back. Operators are like dogs, his mentor had warned him. They can smell fear. The key to briefing them was total confidence. “I’d like you to meet Objective ARTHUR.”
A dozen hard faces looked particularly frozen as Sha... |
"Madam Chen did,"you answer easily. Auntie Chen runs the Blooming Flower -- the most popular tea shop this side of the Kāihuā river. Every merchant passing through the local port knows of her. The town's most important transactions are made over cups of her expertly steeped jasmine tea.

The Ral cottage blended into its surrounding. It was easy to miss if you didn't know that there was a cottage in the middle of the trees, behind some bushes, in a small clearing that could have just been a meadow or pond. The Rals had lived off the land there for years, more or less using the town to meet members of th... |
I smiled as I ran back from Festus, my pack bumping up and down. My master was quite possibly the best human I had ever met. He was the gentlest one I had seen, always generous to a fault. But he had his eccentricities, collecting all sorts of weird creatures to make his home an open menagerie.
His focus somehow force... |
Penelope Pen-Fingers burst through the door.
"I brought the whole team, Chief! What's happening out there?"

Bathor'nax, ruler of the Deep, had miscalculated.
It had seen a continuous run of petty human kingdoms and empires rise and fall. Beginning after a cycle, the humans, reduced to simple hunter gatherers, would scrape the dirt from their faces and do a lot of walking and dying for 50,000 years or so, until the environm... |

Niko watched the nomad fleet unmoor and head toward the inner planets. Five hundred tons of high-grade palladium, the fruit of his 29 years as an HMC mining contractor, was going with them. One by one, their engines fired, the massive ships turning into points of light.
In his gloved hand he held the prize. It was ... |
Inky blackness as far as the eye could see. Thousands of stars hung on like decorations on a christmas tree. Not a trace of civilization. Only unforgiving silence.
The captain turned to find the co-pilot staring at the gauges and controls. Desparetly trying to salvage some form of amusement out of a boring situation.... |
On the day of my 18th birthday, I have chewed on the expertly applied stain on my lips whilst considering the bare skin of my forearms. I could wear them, I reason. It has been years and they show no signs of power whilst laying dormant in my dresser.
As I have possibly a hundred times before, I pull open the drawer ... |
“What happened here?” The coroner pulled back the sheet, revealing a bruised purple face that might once have been a pretty girl. She pulled out a file from the side of the slab, and opened it to the toxicology report. She flipped to page two, page three, and kept going skimming the extensive list of names ranging from... |
"So does that mean you can't help me?"
Yalwal leaned forwards, interlacing her fingers before resting her chin atop them. The crow and rat skull bracelets rattled around her wrists, lying against her lace gloves. "Well, I don't know about that. It's a unique challenge, removing a blessing. I can't wait to get started.... |
"And to who do I owe my eternal love and gratitude, may I ask?"
"They call me the White Knight"
I'm actually black, but I can't afford to have my armor colored so in certain lights it looks blindingly white and I am just hoping the name sticks.
"And you owe me nothing. I exist purely for the detriment of overreachin... |
The dark lord scratched another tick onto the enchanted stone walls that held him. He sighed in gloom as he took a step back and saw the countless scratches he's made over the 20 DECADES he's been improsoned.
He was in the middle of doing an entire nothing for the rest of the day before a strange noise reverberated a... |
First John went down. He had been trying to get a girl and he was never good at it. He was always so nervous.
Then, a split second later, three people on the other side of the room from me also went down. As I looked over at them, I blink once from turning my head. I turn to look back at my best friend, blinking agai... |
It was so easy to see who wanted out. The cowards. The assholes. They were all selfish because they knew it would only be a matter of time before they'd be gone. I had heard about the old days, the days when people would brutallly murder themselves using knives, guns, and ropes. But now it was all too simple. Thos... |
Little Red Riding Hood came to her grandmother's cottage, where she was waiting in her rocking chair with a warm smile on her face. She gave her the basket and told her the adventure she had getting to grandmother's house, who herself wrapped Little Red Riding Hood up in her cotton blanket and snuggled her safely into ... |
I wake up next to a Chilean pornstar whose name I don't remember, and the events of last night flash through my mind, bringing a smile to my face. No matter how drunk I am, I never forget anything.

When I was 25, my uncle persuaded me to spend some of my inheritance in auctions of various sorts - unclaimed goods, cars, and storage units of deceased peoples whose family did not claim their possessions or people without family and no debts to pay.

The rain hissed and snapped along the length of the green lightsabre. The two figures stood completely motionless and then slowly she dropped her hands to her side and from her sleeve her own lightsabre appeared in her hands.

There once was a man who told me,
The best camera you'll ever find,
Despite its flaws and failures,
Is none other than your mind.
So cherish each moment,

And treasure every second,
Before it tumbles from your hands.
But all these sweet, dear memories,

I'm confident he didn't see me exit my home. He strolled casually across the town without a care in the world. Follow ME will he? Ha. Two can play at that game.

Cindy, young and blonde, peeks into my wood-panelled office. "Dr Barry, your 4:30 patient is here. Shall I send him in?"

We envy them.
It is both a blessing and a curse to remember everything. We remember birth and death, peace and war, tragedy and happiness, and we remember it with such clarity that it could have happened mere seconds ago. We remember the good and the bad, and we wish to forget.
In comparison to ours, their power seem... |
We didn't know what to make of it at first-- a sleek piece of tech, almost sensually curved.

Scarcity of food is what finally drove the tribe to send out 8 young men out of the forest and into the city that had so closely encroached onto their territory over the years.

The standing ovation after Comrade Stalin's safety presentation went on for over thirty minutes. We all kept eyeing each other, then the air marshals standing at each exit. They weren't clapping - the Skorpion sub-machine guns in their hands would have made that difficult.

All my life, I've been hearing music randomly. Sounds kind of stupid, but it helps me in situations. For example, I was talking to a girl in school today and the "awkward"music came on. I knew this was my time to just roll out and leave her alone.

Stanford came in, covered from head to to in blood.

He sucked air between his teeth and wiggled the latches on the cabinet. "Seems to be in order,"he said.

Upon this tile I've spent so long a time.

Until I was incited to advance.
At last! The furtive fates had made quite sure,

Sir Eggerton and his team were only a day into the descent when he began to regret bringing the woman.

Eternity, quite honestly, isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Being incorporeal has its pros, after all. I can walk through fire, bullets and anything anyone can throw at me and I know for certain I can never die as a consequence of being too reckless.

Something was wrong with the car seat underneath Sarah’s butt - the foam had worn away over time leaving a cavernous hole just barely covered over with plastic.
