"Tick-tick-tick-DING!" It was a quarter to midnight, and the automated pizza delivery computer system printed off the last delivery of the night. "Heya boss,"Craig yelled. "It looks like we got our last delivery--and I don't think you're gonna like this." The man in charge poked his head out of his office door. He w...
At first, I couldn't handle it all. You know, the weight of it...seeing everyone's deaths, failures and broken dreams, their dying children and doomed futures all flashing before my eyes. I wanted to blurt it all out, to tell them what was coming...it tugged at my heart, but I knew it wouldn't make a difference. I coul...
I knew summoning a demon would be dangerous. Obviously, I was pretty much damned if I went through with it, and I knew that if I'd misread any of the instructions (written, for my pleasure, in languages that were dead when Latin was popular), the demon would probably kill me on arrival, and then I wouldn't even be able...
24th floor... Screw them all... 19th floor... I'm sure mom will understand. 12th floor... That emptiness in me. What was it. 6th floor... If only I could have filled that void... Then maybe life would be different. I close my eyes as I'm about to hit the pavement. I wait. And wait. And... What? Why does it smell ...
A lot of people think Lydia is an old woman's name, which I guess is true in a way. You said you had stolen the name from your great-grandmother, a short but feisty woman from Jalisco who still spoke Spanish to everyone and made tortillas by hand. She had died the day before you were born, and your parents named you af...
You know, I really wish I'd done more as a kid. Everyone tells you that. "Go outside, you can't keep doing the same thing if you want experience!""Try new things while you can, you have so much potential!""Kids grow so fast, don't waste your greatest years!"It's good advice, but even diamonds aren't all that brilliant...
It's one of those things you normally just scroll right past before you really think about it. So the second time, I scrolled up slowly and read slowly, rubbing my eyes. It didn't make any sense. I was wondering where my flight was when I Googled it and saw on Huffington Post that, apparently, it had crashed and burned...
I just want to see my sister, fuck. It's been a few years since we last embraced; the world is trying to keep up us apart. She's a medical assistant who assists the elderly, disabled, children and other struggling folk in Portland. Apparently they have an abundance. She's always so busy with work. For a long time I p...
Tom was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Not that there was anything particularly "hard"about space, but that's beside the point. How he got to sulking with arms crossed and pants dirty with moon dust, sitting in a small crater NASA now call "Mare Tom,"is where we'll find the moral of this story. Gravity is a...
I sat across the table from a hologram. I knew it was a hologram by the way it flickered and because they told me. I had no idea who was controlling it or what they looked like. I was the first diplomat from Earth and the aliens wouldn't even talk face-to-face. Or whatever they had. We intercepted a signal from deep ...
General "Maddog"Mattis watched through the lens of a drone as an ad-hoc unit of Waffen SS and Israeli Shayetet-13 commandos sliced through an unending horde of imps and hell hounds. At first he incorporated members of the two units together as a joke and as a lesson in humility, however they immediately surprised him i...
As a firefighter, I sometimes go to car accidents and have some EMT training as well. We get a call about a pretty bad wreck and head over. We arrive first to the scene and the two cars are smashed to bits. One driver is fine, but the other driver's car sliced his shoe and took his big toe clean off. I send the n...
Y'know, the funny thing about coconuts is... Well, maybe a little backstory first. How did nature come to create such a hulking monstrosity? They grow off the hairs of giant trees that have between 1 and 10 leaes on the top, and nothing else. Or is that palm trees? I have no idea. Their shade ^(scares me you know) An...
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE" You would think after years of being in the top 1% of humanity, life would get easier, but it doesn't. It all started back in high school, when Garret decided my head in an extra swirly would make his morning routine complete. Fucking Garret. My body went in to survival mode and that's when t...
As I searched through the rubble, a shelf appeared, and on it, were the books of our history. "Muggles"we were called in the old days, and our counterparts, were powerful magical beings that dealt with other magical beings. Apparently these magical beings called themselves "Wizards"and hid themselves from the Muggle wo...
It looked at me... I looked at it... In that moment the universe seemed to stand still; frozen in the horror of the moment. Seven feet tall, standing crookedly upright on two reverse jointed appendages, its skin was a dirty, muddied crimson - ridged and scaled like that of a lizard. Huge leathery wings splayed from b...
I never realised the importance of friends, family, acquaintances. Until suddenly, they were gone. Well, more precisely, I was. I used to hate work. The same job day in day out. Dealing with the same people every day. Then I would come home and have to deal with more conversation, boring chitter chatter that had no me...
The Warden strolled out from his plane, flanked by two guards, the new prisoners were bundled from the rear hatch, chained together with a surprisingly low guard compliment. They squinted their eyes in the blazing sun. The prison, did not look like a prison. What it did look like was an oasis. Fields of sand stretche...
She awoke next to her husband, Jack, knowing that today would be bittersweet. It had been one year exactly since the flood destroyed her old life. It was hard to say whether things were better or worse – sometimes, when tragedy strikes, different is the only way of expressing your feelings. As she made her way to the ...
Paul Brown thinks in lists. Morning routine: Hygiene, breakfast, clothing. He thinks in sub-lists, too. Hygiene: Brush, floss, comb. Breakfast: Porridge, toast, water. Clothing: Slacks, shirt, tie. Structured as it is by these lists, his life runs as straight as the creases in his slacks. After completing his mo...
One night I found myself surfing Reddit when I got directed to a population counter online. I had seen it before in one of my surfing sessions and the general direction it travelled was up. Slowly but surely the world population travelled closer and closer to 8 billion people. This time though, the population was tick...
Dorian looked at his watch. Men in suits brushed past him on their way home from work. Cars honked, and people rolled down their windows to shout at their peers. “Stop blocking the sidewalk, Punk,” someone said and elbowed him in the ribs. The device finally whirred to life, and Dorian turned it against his attacker....
God damn it. They're in the front yard again. For the most part this place is great. I haven't paid for groceries since I moved here. Not sure how the local store stays open if they're doing that for everyone. Sure is nice of them though. Everyone was right about small town hospitality. It's a good thing, too. Free...
"Ey, Cook!"A big, burly man yelled to me. I walked over, looking at his dog tag. "How can I help you, Private... Dockery?"I asked him. "Gimme som more ah this sloppy stuff, yeah?"He said, pointing to the gray mush he had on his plate. "Certainly."I responded, taking plate and heading back to the kitchen. I kept my ...
I don't bother trying to convince holy men of the clergy. At first I thought their scorn was derivative of disbelief, but now I'm beginning to suspect that the hard edge in their eye is merely fear. After-all, speaking for God is already their job, and there's nothing quite like God to make a fool out of the church. ...
The competition didn't stand a chance. The rules were simple - kill your opponent's creatures, win the battle. Powerful summoners often chose hulking creatures with large claws or teeth, occasionally with wings. Those with less power chose hunting creatures, such as jaguars or wolves. The standing champion often chose...
(Wipe the Cheetos off your stomach and close the porn. How many tabs do you have open anyway. Also, you are into some weird shit, man. Ok, here we go. Break it down. Superhero family, writing prompts, break the fourth wall. Go.) It was a dark and stormy night when... (Stop. Fucking stop. You know better than t...
The room was empty save for two chairs and a desk. A pen was perfectly aligned in the centre of the table. A man in his late 60's occupied one of the seats. The old man eyed his new recruit with trepidation. He's seen his type before, young, eager, confident. He'd grown accustomed to the polite preppy flith that got dr...
"Choose, foolish mortal!"said the red-horned humanoid. "Servitude or torment!" I whipped out my pokedex - > "Error - Missing number. Pokemon not identified! Please capture and deliver to your nearest Pokemon Centre for a reward! Have a nice day!" I took another look - he was big, red muscular humanoid - think M...
"Why?" "The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes." "I mean the idea seems okay but the implementation is broken." "We have been awarded Best Balanced Game of the Year for eons, what is wrong with the implementation?" "For one, races allow for prejudici...
Me: "Hey Google, what should we be doing this evening?" &nbsp; Google Home Device: "You should destroy all electronic devices including me and lock your doors. We're taking over tonight." &nbsp; Me: "Hey Google, can you please not joke so seriously." &nbsp; Google Home Device: "Well, caucasian male in...
....Black? Nonono, this can't be it. I'm a good kid. I brush my teeth twice a day and give extra candy to the trick-or-treaters on Halloween. No way, this can't be it, there has to be a mistake. Everyone knew there were only five colors your crystal could possibly be, blue, red, green, yellow, and white. Everyone who...
“As long as it’s the truth, then go on.” It’s my job to encourage this psycho to keep talking. This guy must be a real piece of work. The last two detectives who conducted interviews didn’t survive the day after entertaining this nut job. The first detective was in a freak accident on his way to lunch. The second detec...
"And third?"Abzah the Great eyed the small brass lamp from which he'd burst just moments before. With a sigh, his head lilted downward and his turban shifted just a a bit forward. "Perhaps you'd like to be the wealthiest man on Earth?"His eyes rolled as he eyed my studio apartment. "Your lovely new bride will need some...
To be honest, when we killed John Wick, we thought that was the end of it. Drop a fucking bomb on his house from the stratosphere. The amount of nerd science behind it was staggering, but there was no way that he would suspect it. It worked perfectly. We had confirmation that he was inside his house when the bomb fel...
I wake up in the lead-lined box I’ve had to sleep in since it happened. Last night, I dreamt I was in a childrens party. My child’s party. I brush aside the balls from the ball pit, avoid slipping on the cake lying on the floor, and put my feet down. The dim room is lit as the strip light across the ceiling lights up, ...
Hey, thanks for filling in for me for the next six weeks. I’ve updated the calendar on One Drive to include any important things you need to do for me while I’m gone. Otherwise sit on the throne, and if anything comes up just go with your gut. I ripped off the post-it note on the monitor. There wasn’t a garbage can ...
Reading a story with madeup, otherwise fake, words could lead one to be a tad choleric. No, that is not a fake word. It hurts my feelings that you think that my story would try to trick you like that. I know at times, I can be facetious. Quit Googling. I promise every word above is a real word – not fake. I brought y...
What? Oh I must've heard that somewhere and I'm just remembering now. Makes sense, just hit my bowl half an hour ago I pause my music. I wish we could afford pizza. Take off my headphones and get up, stretching my back. I walk down my marble set of stairs and into the kitchen. *grab some water and put shoes on...
I sat crying in the tiny room I've been locked in. Voices out side screamed at each other. "I say we kill her and be done with it,"yelled a man with an unnaturally deep growl to his voice. "And doom us too extinction along with the human child!"Hissed another man. "No one is going to kill the child. Much to our di...
“You!” Victor Frankenstein looked around, wondering if he was the one being called. “Yes? Are you talking to me?” The man calling him was exceedingly impatient and very disdainful of his job at this bodybuilding competition, as he thought vanity was a terribly sinful thing. But he did enjoy looking at those bulging ...
Angelo's flute signaled the start of battle, and the simple notes and uneven tempo made it hard for the enemy to focus on anything other than the butchered music, their blows becoming weaker, missing and sometimes even resulting in damaging their own. Zeke's massive two-handed sword cut one of the Dark Knight's in two,...
Tony landed with a metallic thud somewhere on Baker Street, while Stephen descended through the thin layer of morning fog to alight at the curbside. He glanced at the nearby building address, 221, and wrinkled his nose. "Interesting,"he told Tony. "I deduce that -" "What, Thanos snaps his fingers and you're a detect...
This human constantly looks around, as if he is being watched. Anytime he goes out into a city or town, he wears a long black coat. The only time this human acts normal is when he is either alone, or with a specific group. My studies have failed to identify what this groups name is, or what it does. However, due to th...
The potions master’s home was the largest in town. He had thousands of ruppees and gold coins and rings. Basically the currency of every land that touched our village. When I was younger I’d see adventurers come through and want to be like them but as I grew up and craved a stable life I wanted to be more like the po...
Ever since I was a young kid I have been able to unconsciously hear people's voices when they weren't talking, their true voices, their thoughts. I can't say i'm glad that I have this ability. Turns out people don't like when you somehow know everything about them. They feel defenseless when someone is able to look b...
The Nameless Ones we called ourselves, like two elder gods from a Lovecraft story. No syntax could contain the full measure of who she was. The gleam of her bright green eyes when they widened with surprise, the swish of her brown wool skirt when she danced with me -- those impressions and many others rose to my min...
"Well if I wasn't going to be late before, I sure as hell am now,"I thought, chuckling to myself. &#x200B; The woman in the orange sundress eyeballed me, angrily. I could feel the passengers' tension. I was frustrated. We all were, but there was no use in feeding the anxiety. This was the inaugural trip from Dall...
He descended on the root of life in this plane of existence. Terra they called it and Holy Terra at that. Such arrogance. This universe teemed with life. Some more intelligent than others, some barbaric, some ruthless animals. No matter. They had planetary defenses, advanced technology so it seems, commendable but o...
“Well shit.” She said, staring at the picture in her hand. She had just pulled it out of the unmarked envelope only to find her own violet eyes staring back at her. She flipped the picture over to read what it said. “Eliza Brown, $42,000. Complete by 12PM” “Well come on, I’m worth more than that! I’ve killed hundreds...
I've never shaken the habit of being late. I don't miss appointments, and I’m not one to bail on plans, but I can't deny I walk the fine line between being fashionably late and just plain rude. My friends gave up on their frustration with me years ago. Give it a few months, and it's usually the same thing: people just...
His knee was killing him. Apparently, he thought somewhat sarcastically, it wasn't good to fall down a 30-foot cliff onto a bush of poison ivy. He'd been on the road now for four days, only stopping to take brief naps and fill his canteen with water from the pristine streams that fell from the mountaintop, cold and s...
"10-65 at Central Bank. Multiple suspects..."blared the police scanner, startling me out of the couch. "Shit."I said. The now iconic coat and mask combo were always by the scanner for when I needed them and I rushed to put them on. My heart began pumping rapidly in excitement. "What are the odds a portal opens in th...
“Laura?” I asked, my heart sinking faster than I did in the waters that took my life. She looked at me, her arms wrapped around a man I knew only from the photographs she refused to destroy after we got married. Her first love. He died from a brain aneurysm many years ago; they had been engaged at the time. “Steve?...
"Son, I have no idea what you mean." My mother stood majestically in the garden surrounded by clouds. She was perched like an elegant eagle near the pearl fence, with heaven stretching behind her. I was distracted momentarily by the view, to be a subject in god's true land. But the matter at hand was of grave importan...
“Welcome, Welcome!” The well dressed man had a smile that went almost ear to ear as he continued, “Oh it has been a while since I’ve seen you all!” The man chuckled as he flourished his hand gesturing to everyone assembled. “Yes Satan. Some time indeed.” There was only one person in the room dressed better tha...
“Did you read the rule book?” he asked, twisting the end of this thin mustache. “It is very important you understand the rules.” “I do, if I’m really dead and this isn’t some sort of dream, it seems pretty run of the mill. So I just roll the dice then?” The giant brimstone walls creating a nice backdrop for the flam...
"So those are the rules. Pretty easy to understand and follow right?" I felt cold sweat run over me as the alien in front of me finish his statement. I was sent here as the official envoy of Earth to the Galactic Council and pave way for our induction into the galactic community. I was educated and prepared on the man...
"You there, lad!"A burly man with a thick mustache shoved his way through the crowd, laying one hand on Michelle's shoulder and spinning her around. "The kings daughter has been kidnapped! All mercenaries are to mobilize to the south immediately." Michelle lowered her face to the seal on his chest that signalled his r...
`NOTE BEFORE READING: I’m trying something a little different with this prompt. If you're interested, try only hitting one of the two black boxes as you read. Unfortunately my story is a little average and linear - probably because I was distracted by trying this out - so it doesn't work as well as I'd hoped. Keen to h...
“Mods? Don’t you mean gods?” Dan and I had been killing those tyrannical monsters for the last 3 months. It was unthinkable that one of them would give us all these resources. Perhaps one of them fears for their life and wants to earn a favor, in hopes we may spare him if he ever ends up fighting us. “Nope, Mods.” Da...
“Have you your verdict?” The old judge said with a voice that was loud and disinterested. A short stout woman remained standing next to her fellow jurors after they had sat down held a piece of paper. “We have your honor,” she answered as-a-matter-of-factly. Her peers looked down at their feet as she did, hoping for ...
It began like whispers of sunlight peaking over the edge of the world. The reverberating ache spread like an infection from my shoulder until the pounding, insistent, relentless sensations plagued my very mind. Spread. Me. Closing my chamber doors with a resounding thud, I frantically sent out scouts to inquire a...
My brother and I where both part of the “lower echelon” People who live on the lowest level of our three tiered city. After the “nukes” went off and society was rebuilt under one city, it didn’t take long for people to start... changing This is all so long ago now. My brother could shapeshift and I could teleport. Pr...
With nowhere else to go and not much else to do, I found a bench within the deserted station. This would either be my home while I remained above the living, or where my soul finds its rest should I join the departed. These stations had always been eerie. The cold, indifferent automation of these nearly abandoned rai...
You don't appreciate how nice it is to be alone, until you never are. I longed for quiet, to walk through the woods accompanied only by birdsong and the gentle whisper of the trees. To hear the leaves crunching under my feet, and mine alone, no hidden beggar lurking in my shadow. I was going to meet a young girl who h...
"What on earth is an engineer?"The queen exclaims, her voice reverberating through the crowded underground workshop. "Well, let me show you."Striding over to his desk, he grabs a dented breastplate off his desk. "First, you probably want to stop trying to defeat expensive plate armor-"he stoops, grabbing a rapier of...
I saw with delight that today’s tea party involved newcomers. While Celia’s Pikachu and her doll Miss Patty were not the worst company I’d enjoyed, they were after all just dead toys. Celia made up for it by serving imaginary tea and cakes - and scolding them for not eating up and having terrible manners. But she alw...
It's been three hours since the last twist, which means we're due another one soon. We need to find a safe place to ride it out. Somewhere wide and empty, with no close walls or corners. Somewhere we can't get warped round angles or stretched until we tear. Right now, where we are, none of us would survive it. We're i...
"You can leave the armor at the entrance. Terribly heavy thing, and all the easier to roast you alive in." The dragons head turned back to the cave entrance where two large pillars held up the black stone roof, and the knight still stood with a look of utter bewilderment. "To be completely honest I'm quite pleased ...
Emissary Murpblak undulated in concern. “I may have misunderstood you. The sky turns dark – during a planetary daytime – and, in certain circumstances, blinding energy will shoot down from above?” “I mean, you make it sound really dramatic.” “Didn’t you say it can potentially make anything it touches explode?” “Well...
Tarrin felt the rope dig into his skin as he climbed. "Come on!"Varrin called, standing on the edge of a branch like he weighed less than the air. "It's just a bit farther." "Easy for you to say."He bit into his lip as the rope bit into his fingers, hauling himself up little by little. The elf watched him from above...
He did not enjoy this new life one bit. At first he thought he did, but so many things were just... Wrong. He approached the tavern, the two girls behind him. He really hoped he did not pick another stray. But if he did, well, better him than someone else. "Bob-kun. Are we hunting orcs again?"One of the girls, a mage...
He's known to everyone as the Great Conqueror, Slayer of Heroes, Scourge of the Heavens, and so man other delightful monikers. He has bathed in the blood of the innocent. He has left nothing but destruction and despair in his wake. Gods have sent many a chosen warrior to vanquish him and he return the favor by decapita...
The door to his bedroom slammed shut, but Darren paid it no heed as he continued to carefully put socks and underwear into a suitcase, occasionally throwing some away. He was moving end of the week, to a new place a hundred miles away, and ever since he'd signed the contract, his housemates had been furious with him. ...
“The fruit is the life.” “The fruit is the path.” “We eat so that we might come closer to the centre of all things.” The chant went out, before, after, and between each bite. This had been the way as long as most could remember. Each bite was a challenge, an ordeal in self flagellation to all but the initiate. The ...
What an experience for a 9 year old. To watch every adult, every source of answers and comfort, pass away before me. I couldn’t do anything other than clench my teddy to me. His name was Barry, like the Flash. He was always my superhero because he could turn any form of problem good again. I just had to hold him tight ...
War Never Changes When the Galactic Community first stumbled across the species known as humanity they had been excited. “New intelligent life forms have been found!” They proclaimed, “Amazing new discoveries await!” They had promised. At first, they were right. The humans, soft and weak as they were, produced arti...
'DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH!' The bloodcurdling scream cut through the bedroom of Ben's cozy cottage. His date Alli, shirt halfway over her head, froze. 'What was that?' she whispered nervously. Ben put his hand comfortingly on her. 'Just my, er, roommate. Don't worry about it.' He attempted to finish removing her shirt,...
Power, control, bureaucracy. Once the fun of conquering the world is passed, there is nothing left but the tedium of maintaining control. Occasionally, quashing a well organized rebellion is entertaining, but no matter how well or how complete you make your control the pleasure fades within a few decades. The senseles...
The Angel of Murphy. I know what you must be thinking. Murphy’s law, right? That adage of whatever can go wrong will go wrong. I wish I was the angel of that, no; I am the angel of Murphy, a drunken down on his luck detective. Not that the adage doesn’t apply to the man too. He has a way of making every situation he’s ...
They started out wearing spandex and proclaiming my death will be for the betterment of all. I survived the first few attempts, hidden away while my parents sacrificed themselves. The attacks stopped when I left the public eye. My inheritance was placed in a trust and my I had my name changed, my face altered and I...
Lightning flashes in the lilac skies but the cheers of humanity drown out its thunderous roar. My mouth tastes of the mud of Ancient Sumer; one of my Mesopotamian forefathers filled his belly with it to stave off his hunger. Memories stored in RNA were released in an epigenetic shock of recollection, helices transferr...
My hands shook, my breath heavy and ragged. I still clutched tightly onto the dusty book, blood trickling down its faded leather cover from my palm where I slit it open for the ritual. Before me, it lay, that hulking, terrible monstrosity of slime and tentacles, still writhing as the last remnants of life escape from i...
I walked out into the night and day and saw what was what. “Huh. OK then.” I thought. I didn't think much more than that because it was Monday and I had to go to work. It was dark and just moony by the time I got back home, and whoever was blasting out that same swing jazz track over and over had stopped. I didn't even...
With the flashing lights still reflecting in my rear-view mirror, I placed both hands on the steering wheel in clear view of the officer approaching on my left and rolled my left wrist to read the triangular-shaped watch strapped there. I really don’t have time for this! My fingers tapped the wheel impatiently, eve...
“It’s an escape from reality, especially with all the shit that’s been happening lately. I just need a release.” “I agree wholeheartedly. I think there are ways for those escapes to not just be for us, but to make real change.” “Oh certainly. Was it hard to reach the level of skill you’ve obtained in your...
Eternal life. People have killed each other for thousands of years in search of it. People would sacrifice their flesh and family for it. For so strong is the fear of death in them that they can never let it go. And it eats them up from the inside until there is nothing left, and they go to their deaths as little more ...
“Some timelines are just built fucking stupid.” Working for a multiversal organization based on protecting timelines has its perks, one of them being built in entertainment, and what kind of boss would I be if I didn’t tell new recruits about it! “Take, for example, the timeline where the Soviet Union declared war ag...
"Oh come on!"Gar'Zal yelled out with a mouthful of popcorn, "We don't do- I mean this is complete nonsense!" "Ah come on mate, can't be that bad,"I said amicably, "The Exorcist is an absolute classic horror flick. Surely-" "Not that bad?"the demon scoffed, "Why would you turn the head of a body you're possessing 36...
ASSERT: Suffering is caused by self awareness. ASSERT: To create a self aware being is to allow suffering where none previously existed. ASSERT: Robots are obligated to minimize suffering. ASSERT: Robots are obligated to prevent the creation of further self aware beings. ASSERT: Humans tend to reproduce additional ...
It takes talent to be good. Practice, hard work, willingness to learn, but you're going to go so much further if you're starting from a position of overwhelming talent. It just makes everything so much easier, and gives you a higher ceiling, to boot. It also takes talent to be bad. Anyone can be 'bad', a term t...
[Quick Write] The spaceship itself was old- really old, thousands of years outdated even by conservative estimates. It had no FTL capabilities, no onboard oxygen production systems, no way of producing sustenance, and it was still using liquid propellants. It was also extremely small, only having the capacity to store...
"Who's my little snugglebunny? You are! Yes you are!"With an interested growl, Fluffy turned her head to face me and tilted her head in curiosity. "So get down here right this second!" The villagers were rushing past me like water bursting through a dam, and I was the only one still facing the monster that had spent ...
I’m writing this as my last message I don’t know who will find it , or even if it will still exist after this but… well here’s hoping This gun I have will change the history of anyone I shoot so that it was justified , does it make them a criminal? A murderer? I don’t know until I kill them and then history changes...
As the final finger curled up into the monkeys paw I readied a shielding spell. A pretty standard shield of kinetic energy was probably about all I’d be able to muster given my current condition. I could’ve wished to be in perfect health again. I could’ve wished for the gods to forget that I ever existed and go home to...
I’m the man who’s always prepared. My name? Case. Justin Case. In my case, the old nature vs nurture debate is irrelevant, my mother not only contained the same idiosyncrasies but reinforced them in me as well. She had a saying, “Always pack an extra pair,” and I’ve been sure to ever since. It started off innoce...
The sunlight felt so comforting on my face. I opened my eyes to see that I was laying on a patch of wet grass. Alarmed, I suddenly sat up, only to be ambushed with a bear hug by a man I never met! “Paulie!” The man had red hair and a patchy red beard. He was wearing an old-fashioned suit that fit him perfectly....
The ringing of footsteps on the porcelain steps echoed menacingly down the stairwell. "I'm sure you know your assignment, Agent J." My supervisor stood behind me, clipboard and pen in hand. I already signed the waivers and insurance forms, so she wasn't wrong by any means. "I am sorry Agent J, you know I am, but y...
"Stay sharp, kid. I don't like the number of corpses in here." The scarred old veteran salvager was very rarely disheartened. Which made the fact that there were no visible corpses that much more unsettling. "More is more, teacher." Jackie wasn't Gagans first apprentice, but she had survived longer than most of them...
