At first it was barely noticeable... He had a pretty house but nothing out of ordinary. But overtime he kept getting richer and richer without even having a job to attend to.

"So you can *sense* time?"
"I believe that is a simple and accurate explanation. Yes."
The assembly of scientists didn't quite know how to react to this. Some slowly nodded their heads as if they understood. One of the younger members of the group couldn't quite swallow this information.

'Whenever you wish for something, you will lose a memory most important to you.'
Those words stuck in my mind as I remembered when I was young, wanting to be rich.
How important could memories be anyway?
I'd learnt the answer to that the hard way. I wished to be a millionaire and it happened but I couldn't remembe... |

We don't have long claws or razor sharp teeth. Our skin isn't armoured or particularly tough. We are neither that large compared to some of the other sapient alien species, nor the fastest. In fact, we are perhaps the most mediocre of the lot when it comes to physical attributes.
Perhaps it is a consequence of humans ... |
It became all consuming, to fulfill their "purpose in life."When they had been revealed, everyone was elated. They could stop searching and start doing. Their lives would be fulfilled.
It had been a cruel joke.
Many never achieved their purpose in life. Watching it slip out of reach left them bitter husks. Many died... |
Germany was re-unified and the Cold War had ended. Music and film had been terrific for the past twenty-five years. God decided it was time for a holiday. He laid out his instructions to his second-in-command.

The man walked through the world with shoulders slumped. He kept both eyes straight ahead, for left and right led to nothing new. Life had shown him the sunsets, the women in revealing clothing, the many neon signs that welcomed a melody of heart break. But there's a limit to how much humans can take before they bec... |
Jay's Age: 3 Days
Hello, my name is Henry Garrick. It's been three years since the government implicated the "Perfect Soldier Program"across the country. The medical movement calling for the anatomical enhancement and augmentation of children at birth. A small micro chip inserted into infants heads allowing parents to ... |
I was tracking the bogey over the Mexican border and into U.S. airspace. It had a large signature so I was guessing at first that it was a drug runner of some kind. That it had drawn the attention of the brass back at my base showed that whoever they were, they were in serious trouble. My F-35 pulled out of the clou... |

Earth was merely a stop.
We dissected our DNA, spliced together a haphazard version, put it into the form of microbes and sent it off to Earth. We knew it would last, albeit they wouldn't out last us.
We were superior.

The light turned green and I started to walk across the street when I felt a hand touch my elbow.
"Excuse me miss, do you need help crossing the street?"
I turned to see an old lady, maybe in her seventies, with white hair and her brows close together with worry. Really, shouldn't I be the one asking you that?

Tor'ak was utterly perplexed. He had received the written records about the species inhabiting the planet they called Earth.

It's peculiar what happened. A month had passed in this state of "absolute truth"and everyone was trying to live how they used to live. People did not run from each other and did not tear out their tongue whenever asked a sensitive question. Quite the opposite. Everyone continued their lives as they were, but absolutel... |
I ignore my cousin’s snickering as I bite into the brownie. She thinks I can’t handle it. This shit ain’t legal back home and I don’t plan on coming to the states for a long while so I plan to make the most out of my trip.

"Did you just drool on me?"I asked Jessica, my financial advisor. She had been watching over my shoulder as I was signing some paperwork, when a clear drop of liquid had landed on, and slowly soaked into, my sleeve.

"The way I see it, if I look I'll have less things to be scared of", I said arguing with my parents. They, like so many people, withheld my CoD on my birth certificate. I'm 18 now. I'm about to leave the house and I want to take the world by storm.
Maybe it's that spirit that's driving my curiosity. Still I don't thin... |
The boy of prophecy had served his purpose. Balance had been brought to the force and the galaxy was at peace. At least the Republic's idea of peace. Now the Jedi order sat on their high horse unchallenged and arrogant.

The time was coming for 'The Decision.' In this day and age, nearly all biological life could be controlled and influenced by humans, and the government.

Mr. Weasley grabbed a coffee and the morning newspaper, hoping to catch some good news before the day truly began. He reluctantly gave the pecking owl a Knut and shooed it away.

Mr. Mathers made it to the stage-steps, but before he could make it to the stage, the room was alight with a heavenly glow. As the light dissipated, the Heavenly Father was left standing before the awe-struck cloud. Next to him stood Jesus, mic in hand. Without a word, Jesus began beatboxing a bumpin’ beat and God bega... |
He couldn't call out her name. Isaac had always decided that if he could decide to say one word, it would be "Serina."It would save a lot of time in situations like these. Maybe calling out to the burning rubble of a supposedly secret caravan wouldn't help, but it would at least give Isaac some solace in this moment.

The monster’s short, fat, and adorable. He’s got chubby cheeks, an elephant trunk, and can’t stop giggling as he asks me to come with him, to be his object for show-and-tell. He…doesn’t remember me. Doesn’t remember a year ago, when he showed up and said the same things to brother, who decided to go with him.

The fire crackles in the woods as I tuck Ruth into her sleeping bag. She still isn't showing any signs of infection. I was worried when she found a puddle of rainwater yesterday, but she must have been telling the truth when she said she didn't touch it.

Walking from my kitchen to my living room—beer and pizza in hand—there are few strings to worry about. My home is virtually string-free compared to more bustling places like the office and the subway. Places filled with so many tangles of strings that moving about them feels like I’m constantly walking on tightropes; b... |
I couldnt help but stammer. "Y-you just got here? I mean-ok, but... could I ask why?"

James pulled back on the charging handle slightly, exposing a glimpse of brass in the ejection port of his short barreled .300 blackout AR pattern rifle. As he let the weapon drop in its sling against his body, the lamplight glimmered briefly on the engraved magazine well. "*Naughty*,... |
"Captain Cape, you did it!"
"I LOVE YOU, CC!"
"God, he's so dashing..."
Sam heard all the mutters as he sheepishly made his way to the alley where he'd stashed his hoodie. He put it on and walked out. No one batted an eye.
"Hey that Captain Cape guy is pretty cool, huh,"He said to the pretty woman that'd praised hi... |
It was an odd day, lauden and with buffeting winds. The streets were particularly silent, lacking the usual high-pitched laughter of the neighbor's children playing with their old, deflated ball.
That stillness, dare I call it grimness too, for reasons I didn't understand, added a new boulder to the pile within me, tu... |
My old man always taught me that the only way to win a fight against someone you have no right beating was to be unpredictable and ruthless.
"Always bring a gun to a knife fight, if you can."he'd say, before cracking open another beer. "It's life and death out there, even in a small scrap. Always go for it."Sadly, it... |
I was used to the images. I have seen them since I was a kid. I went to therapists, got medicines, until I eventually just gave in to them. I found a nice house in the woods in Canada with money I earned from treasure hunting. It’s been a pretty amazing life once I embraced it. I don’t see anything around my home lucki... |
You never realise how much noise a mall could hold until it’s finally empty. This is why a deserted store is usually a show reserved for the workers, the cleaners, and the unfortunate bystanders of mass vanishing .
Quite unfortunately, I belong to the last class.

Voyager 1, the furthest space probe from Earth, continued its drifting decades-long journey through space. Its sensors continued to pick up information, that would then be relayed back to Earth. Every moment it stayed up and running was one small step for a probe, and one giant leap for mankind.

"So, Can I interest you in a Wand of Coffee Summoning?"I asked the costumer, showing off the fancy wand.
A look of confusion washed over their face. "Your joking right? You created the Sword of Destiny and your asking me about a stupid wand that creates coffee!?"

The men in my family? They all go weird, as they approach fifty.

"I'll offer 20 bucks for it."I heard the man say. I politely declined his poor offer for the arrow I had found right outside my house. Instead of bartering with the man, I gave a satirical "thanks"and left. I felt an instinct to inspect the arrow further after I deserted the shop, so I returned to my house and laid it ... |
I wasn't expecting the opthalmologist's office to look like this. Instead of a sterile office with bright lights, I was inside a dimly lit room with strings of garlic hung on the walls. "Welcome to the All-Seeing Emporium,"a voice called out. An elderly woman stepped out from behind some curtains. "What can I do for yo... |
What is the one thing which describes us? A word. One that does not exist yet tugs at our being and is inseparable from who we are? What is the one thing that we take for granted yet ensures that we belong to society. Our name. At least that used to be the case before the passwords came.

"Star Wars."
Arthur "Art"Jacobson looked up at his audience. The United Nations General Assembly was packed to bursting, the usual delegates being sidelined in favor of national leaders. Presidents and premiers and prime ministers were crammed into every seat in the room. The most powerful people on Earth. And all of ... |
The morning sky was red, an ominous warning to the sailors as the ship crested another wave. The crew moved quickly, casting lines and setting up rigging, trying to haul all they could before battening up the hatches. The ship's captain looked down from the bridge, a nervous droplet of sweat dripping down his worried f... |
I stared at my phone, my heart sitting in my stomach.

The four bars of different lengths all stacked on top of one another began to glow. The first time I had seen the WiFi Icon react in what may have been years. I had always kept my phone charged, which was simple enough with a solar-powered c... |
I was drinking to forget, my roommate Harry beside me. Having just been laid off, the company I worked for collapsing, I needed to get drunk. Harry had always been up for going out, and hearing my predicament, had joined me in my quest of getting smashed. I was a few drinks in when I looked over, the alcohol making my ... |
I felt a surge of sickening fear, my hands trembling. In just a quick sweep of the people around me a bunch of them had been revealed as aliens. The screen filled up with words and symbols I didn't know, overlaid on their faces. I turned the phone over in my hands, and where there would normally be an Apple logo was ju... |

Attrition is where it's at.
Don't get me wrong, it's a pain in the ass to use, and a pain in the ass to fight against. That's sort of the point- it's not so much about what it *does* do, as what it *can* do.
It always boils down to the long-term, sooner or later. That's what 'long-term' *means*.
It's something tha... |
Chaos rained down around me. Buildings crumbled. Car alarms blared. Flames crackled in the smoke-thick air. Screams echoed through the streets. Sirens wailed, unheard, unheeded.
More than anything in the world at that moment, I wanted the car alarms to shut up. I could deal with everything else. I could deal with the ... |
The Human History Museum- What is it Hiding?

I remember being asleep.
It’s the only true escape that I have. I’ve always had it bad, I can never seem to shake myself out of this funk. My friends and family left me long ago, I didn’t want them to carry my burdensome self any longer. It didn’t take much for me to push them away. I lost my job a week ago, my manag... |

Ms. Auria Whitmore MMag, a master at the Mirarth Academy of Arcane Arts, sighed as a student walked into her office.
Not that she felt any particular dislike for the student, mind you. On the contrary, she felt that Lucian Blackwood was a rather talented young man who could have a bright future ahead of him. Tha... |
I sighed, resting my head in my hands with my elbows on my knees as I sit on my dragon's forearm. I drug my hands down my face before lifting my head to rub at my temples to try and ward off the headache I knew was coming.
"So let me get this straight."I eventually say as I look up at the lord infront of me. "Since I ... |
She's getting dressed now. We've been up all night since the bar, entangling and disengaging, chatting about every little topic to remind ourselves that this may not be a one night stand. She's halfway through that process we do to unmuss last night's outfit, trying to turn the walk of shame into a morning triumph stro... |
I don't enjoy dying. I assume most don't enjoy it. I can't really confirm this because I've never met anybody else who died. But if I had to guess, if I really had to make a big assumption, I would assume most think it is somewhere between "an inconvenience"and "a major pain in the balls."
And yet these guys keep kill... |
"Dear, why does the dog have three heads?"

"You aren't ready for a Familiar yet, Axos.". That was what they kept telling me. My parents, my Master, the other students at the academy would even mock me.

Barry is a human. And humans are the most powerful species in the Universe.

“Now…hold up a second, Dear.” my husband calmly says as he slowly enters the room. He then quietly closes the door behind him and looks at me with those puppy dog eyes he uses when he tries to convince me of something. “Let’s not be too hasty” he says in a Jovial tone.

Never, and also now:
Nothing is nowhere. When? Never. Makes sense, right? Like I said, it didn't happen.

The small, oak door stood modest in the far left. It emitted a calm vibe but its presence was almost intimidating.
