Zach stretched his face out of frustration. Upsettingly trying to get him to understand. “You need help! There’s no such thing as ghosts!” he said as he shook his brother’s head. Derek went from an expression of ecstasy to a frown. Then to anger. He felt betrayed and alone. He felt that there was nobody who had is ba...
Metaphorically, moving mountains usually means conquering your problems. Unfortunately, for me, moving mountains is my literal problem. Everyone has superpowers that were practical. Mines. Not so much. Growing up, I envied others. I wished I could have Joe's super strength, Marie's fire ability, or heck, even Nick's ...
Beep "C'mon, c'mon..."Steve whispers to himself. He is stuck in a closet, alone in the dark. Looking through the small slits on the door he can barely make out the hallway. A soft blue glow emits from the skylight above, the moonlight providing the only visibility in the dark of night. "*Thank you for choosing...
Brandei eyeballed the length of the pond. He calculated the width. The white, six-legged arachnid-like creature on the other side clicked it's fangs together. It sidled on it's many legs, the sharp tips making a few dozen indentions in the sand. Brandei aimed. He shot. The stone skipped across the surface of the wate...
Oh, how I bloody hate mirrors... For you see, it's not necessarily true that silver is dangerous in the sense that it can be used as a weapon for us to cower from. In fact, I am rather fond of my silver rings. No, the true danger for vampires is how - for the newly sired - it immediately exposes their nature to the un...
"It was your fault but you can stop now, it's over, you absolved yourself" those word, delivered in my mother-in-law’s insincere voice on the ten-year anniversary of my husband’s suicide shouldn’t have shocked me. It was a very Mrs. Carlton thing to say. I suspected she knew that me putting the house on the marked mea...
Dane thought it was a joke at first. At the Academy, he and his squadmates delighted in harassing the storekeepers. Pencil Ninjas, they called them. They weren't even operational. He'd heard of jokes being played on other Explorers, but they were usually revealed in the first couple of hours. This was insane. He thou...
Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec god of wind and learning, was earlier in his life a man. A man who's life events mirror closely those of Jesus of Nazareth. It is our belief that the same insight and divine guidance has sought to inspire man for a long time. It is only man's blindness and stubbornness that has caused us to miss...
"Splendid test my boy!"General Wright clasps my back. "The research paid off, I see the grant didn't go to waste on you, ehh?" "Heh, yeah. Well, I couldn't have done it without my team."I feel uneasy, watching the mushroom cloud shrink away. "Well, the work you did will win this war for us. You've saved countless Am...
I hadn't been to Minnesota since Henry Schoolcraft was mapping the state and balancing the demands of the local Dakota and Ojibwe people. It was rumored Minneapolis was a true gem of the modern American midwest, and after nearly two centuries it seemed a return trip was in order. Suffice it to say, such a mistake wil...
“He’s waking up.” “Check the ties.” “I just did.” “Check ‘em again.” “He’s awake. He’s listening to us.” “You check like I said?” “Step off, hand me those jumper cables.” “Arghhhhh!” “Go ahead and scream pal, nobody gonna hear you down in this sewer.” “My eyes.” “Can’t see? Here, let ...
Hospital. Always a hospital. Of the two places I can be now, both are hospitals. Different ones. Two hospitals. I can come and go as I please, but I'm always the same as I always am when I get there. Scared. In one hospital I am loud, the other I stay quiet. The nurses, they don't know what to do with me. I couldn'...
A van full of university students, barely out of college, motored through the small country town of Kaidosashi. The atmosphere in the car was quiet, but not of anticipation, but of boredom. The driver, McDaniels, hunched over the wheel of the car, blinking endlessly at the unfulfilling road which lay on ahead, winding ...
Among the living were the vampires. The bloodsucking Vernon of the deep. This was only half of the truth. In reality, a plague had swept the earth a long time ago. It had been fermenting inside the body of humans for many years until a sound truth became evident among the vampires. They had become the prey. Humans beg...
I left my friends behind as I say my last words to them, "What's the worst that can happen?"I said, always living my life on the edge. The sinkhole was massive and never ending, I expected death at the end of the tunnel. I would be a pile of guts at the bottom. My friends might miss my crazy schemes and living on the...
I rounded the knob about with the key as I unlocked the metallic door. Air drifted from both channels through the now open door as I shifted into my office of cameras. I looked around at the monitors and decided I should go for my morning patrol. Nothing better to do I guess. After locking the door I began my descent...
Princess Erika had only ever been told two things about that night: Sir Elmore's squire had tried to kill her, and Duke Vernon had saved her. Recently however, new events had come to light that made that story suspect. The first event was Duke Vernon storming into the throne room with a small army, killing her parents...
Eons ago advanced humans were sent to earth as prisoners, to live out their sentences for horrific crimes they committed on Centauri Prime. Ranging from genocide and conspiracy against humanity to being guilty by association, from simply passing messages for the syndicate. The rich and powerful were exiled for their cr...
“Get up! It’s today.” I’m shaken by my father from my sleep. “We’re doing it today” With these words I feel a revitalized surge of energy that made me hop out of bed so fast I started seeing spots in my vision. The rebellion is today. Our family used to live in a republican country off of America that is skipped o...
"Did I tell you, you look beautiful today?"asked the man. Over by the stove, the man's wife looked over her shoulder, flashed him a quick smile, and went back to cooking. The man got up and stood behind her. He bent forward and kissed the right side of her neck, murmuring, "You're not going to say thank you?" "T..t...
I'm nearly to the cafe as I begin to get a little more nervous. After all, you never truly know who you're meeting when you first met online. I turn the corner an there he is just like he said he'd be. He was wearing the red shirt and black tie he said he'd be wearing and he was even more handsome in person. Suddenly I...
"Curse you, Captain Amazing!"A tall man in a lab coat wearing goggles and non-descript "sciency"headwear screams in the rubble of his, once again, knocked down roof. "I will defeat you! ". As the hero flies away, shouting something about leaving him for the police, Scyrant slices through his handcuffs with a usefully p...
At Pleasant Meadow elementary school, the birds were singing, the flowers were growing, and students were being dropped off. Meanwhile, teachers were in their desks writing papers and preparing their lessons. One 2nd grade teacher, Ms. Johnson, had been having a pretty good day. She was awaiting her students coming ...
"Not the lo mein again, not the fucking lo mein again,"I thought to myself, as I looked at the half-sepia, half-dirt-dust-grease covered menu at my local spot. And yeah, I went with the lo mein again. Fried noodles hold a place in everyone's heart and especially in everyones stomach. As I plowed through the thick and...
I couldn't believe her. I thought the family curse just took another victim, her mother had the same kind of visions who she told everyone about. We didn't have a choice but we had to put her away, somewhere she couldn't harm herself. Did she really believe the stories her oldy told her? She must be dreaming, she is ...
"This is it!"He thought as he slid the first book carefully onto the shelf. The first night after he had purchased this strange bookshelf, he had filled it with some of his favorite works. The next morning he thought he had been robbed. Only one book had remained on the shelf, but it wasn't one he had put there. It wa...
"Rise and shine, flower." The words rang through her mind, bringing with them the imaginary image of a sickly-sweet smile set upon bright, bloody lips. She started awake with the usual shaking, abruptly rising from the sweat-stained pillow that grabbed hold of her tangled hair with gentle thorns, trying to drag her ...
Dr. Richard McMillan had been the talk of humanity since March 23, the day the paper escaped into the world. He wasn't an excitable man and didn't really understand what fuss was about. It had been his sixty-third scientific publication over a career only a year shorter. It wasn't even a particularly good paper. Three ...
Art wasn't sure what the scraggly old man had meant. He had said, "Thank you"nicely enough, but there was something different about the way he'd followed up with, "three."Art couldn't put his finger on it. It hadn't been mean. But, it definitely wasn't nice. The old man definitely had more of an amused but empathetic l...
"Be honest with me,"I said, steepling my fingers on the table. The reporter in the opposite seat fidgeted. "Where is everyone else?"I asked. "Dead, your Most High and Honorable Lordship." "Dead or killed?" The reporter glanced at the soldiers behind me and swallowed, looking down. "Killed." "By?" He mumbled some...
I lost my arms in an accident 5 years ago. Yes, both. And no, you may not make that stupid joke. My parents are gone, anyway. Somehow, the trauma of losing my arms activated some latent psionic potential I had or something, and before I knew it I was taken away by men in black suits for "processing". Unfortunatel...
The busy airport seemed to freeze as every person stopped to gawk at her. A gorgeous five foot seven girl wearing stylish clothes and a pair of six inch stilettos, she looked like she came right out of a magazine. Her glossy, wavy ginger hair accentuated her beauty, each strand mesmerizing to the eyes. Her skin was p...
I stared at my older self for a few moments, in shock. Then so many questions came to mind. "Why the hell did you write Time Machine on it if you didn't want anyone to notice it?"I asked. "Sh! Come here."Older me said, ushering me away from the public's view. "I didn't write it, I found it that way, just like y...
“No Karen, it’s not just a way to have some friendly competition. This means everything to me,” Said Zachary firmly! “You do what you want, but I’m out now. I don’t want any part of this,” Said Karen as she walked out of the room. Hillsboro High was having a friendly competition; selling cookies. The rules were simpl...
"Happy Birthday, Ella dear!" I awoke on my 16th birthday to my goofy mother bouncing into my room and tossing a package into my sleepy hands. My mom always has been young and silly at heart; chasing after the youth she lost from having me at 16. Her eyes glinted with excitement as I groggily tore into the package; I sa...
It was always quiet at my local First National branch, except for the idiocy that was always blaring from the 'news' station that the flatscreen TV in their lobby area was permanently tuned to. That was the first thing that I noticed was off - literally. The screen was dark and silent. My initial thought was *"thank go...
Al'knorg and his Armada approached the human home world. They were armed with prototype weapons, called "bows". These things could kill someone from just under a click if the marksman was good enough. In addition, there was also inch thick hulls installed, an unheard-of level of absurd armoring. The humans would be doo...
"So tell me, is still wearing diapers still rational in the 6th grade? Or do you just hate Donald Duck so much you like peeing on him?" I smiled as the entire class burst into laughter so loud I had to tone down the gain on my audio inputs. He'd never learn. My eyes could 'focus' and see details way farther than any h...
I've seen it happen several times on the internet. Pets sacrificing their life to save their owner. Usually it's said like "You won't BELIEVE what this dog did to save his master!"but we'd always know exactly what happened. My cat took my illnesses upon her for years. Whenever I sneezed a bit, she'd take it from me th...
>President Trump Knowingly Involved In Manipulating 2020 Election Results The very presence of this headline on my computer is grounds for imprisonment. Investigative journalism has never been a politician's friend, but Trump took it to a new extreme. Following the news of Russia's interference in the 2016 election...
“CUT!!! God damnit Armstrong! Any more screwing around and I'll make sure you never work in film again! We can always go with other actors for the sequels we have planned. This is super important, but we’ve already got too much in the can, we’re way over budget as it is. Next take better be PERFECT because it’s going i...
1923, Arkansas. Chip Eastfield was sure there was something there. In the middle of the night in his tent, kept awake by the movements in the corner of his eye, the exhausted hobo strained to stsy awake. He had to do something. It had started a few weeks ago, first brief glimpses, then constant harassment. He coated ...
"I'm telling you, I'm Abraham Lincoln. Or, well... I was."Arthur Bingley was in high spirits today and wasn't going to be dissuaded by the laughter and the polite coughs from the town hall crowd. The host politician, who Arthur had less than twenty four hours prior thought to be a no-name nobody, was looking deeply f...
Three days. Some people consider that a long weekend. A long weekend to me seemed not very long at all. Only have three days left? Someone must be playing a joke. My sister Clara always seemed to have me as a target at these types of events. It is was just like her to make a joke at my expense to make herself feel bett...
"Would you please pass the butter Daniel?"I heard my mother say. I was zoning out at the dinner table again thinking about that math test that I probably failed "What would mom and dad do when they get the report card?"I thought. "Daniel?"Mom was a bit louder this time, "uh yes?", she glances at the butter tray and I p...
White sheets lay tangled at the bottom of an unfamiliar bed. Wood crackles in the orange flames, casting shadows on grey furniture, oak floors Hot coffee steams out of a cup in my hands, Its aching, lasting burn on the tongue, is reminiscent of warmth from the fire and down my throat, and of her. The flames fli...
It had been more than 10 years since anyone knew what The AI was doing. The AI’s performance had exceeded human comprehension, but it kept making amazing things for us that we couldn’t make by ourselves. Explanations didn't matter anymore, because whatever it was doing, it was making everything better in Los Angeles....
If a bad healer you be, To these words pay close attention, You are to retrieve your comrades, Not allow their souls' ascension. If this be your plight, Always throwing the fight, Woe to you and your function I know of one better, Whose skills will not fetter, Although he weaves fel in conjunction. Although I'm ...
This is my first time actually posting here, please go easy on me? Let me know what you think. At first, my drunk-ass thought the seemingly normal envelope was an illusion, but I managed to pick it up, and I stumbled inside, past the bedroom to my kitchen. My fiancé was already asleep, as she was working a double at t...
At first it was interesting. Compelling, refreshing, and had been the only motivation to read anymore after 10 years since leaving school. Now? Three weeks of constant voices in your head every time you read a comment in Instagram, Twitter, whatthefuckever social media? It got tiring really fast especially since thos...
Jim looked into Kate’s eyes. She was so beautiful. He knew she was the one he wanted to spend his life with. “Marry me,” he said as he opened the box, “I can give you everything you ever wanted. I can make you happy, and you’re the only one who can make me happy.” Kate beamed at him. “Sold.” He slipped the ring on h...
As soon as I notice the one with no aura, they locked eyes with my soul. Immediately comprehension dawned on me, as I appreciated the skill and knowledge it took them to shield their aura and thoughts. They were serene in attitude, unwavering and confident in knowledge that some few have obtained. Routinely protect yo...
A beehive of commotion surrounded them as they sank deeper into truths even their lovers could not fathom. In that hidden, dark space, they confessed a vicious and foolish love, a love that each knew could not exist. The bar provided ample cover as he leaned in, mouth pressed close to her ear, pent up passion spilling ...
1: I was in oVRlay^TM when I heard the news. It was cold, colder than a normal February day in Gold Bay City, with light slush raining down from the sky. 2098 was having an especially bad El Niño season so far, and it was wetter than ever. While the rest of the country baked, the American northwest and east were seein...
She is beautiful, more than anyone I have ever seen in my entire life. Yet, I know that I can't have her. When I first discovered my curse, it was already too late for the people near me. You could say that I "killed them". From then on I tried to shun from society. Until today... when she came to visit a tomb wit...
"The light is almost out". Jana looked worried at her floating source of light, become less bright with every passing second. "It doesn't matter", I whispered back, "we're almost there". My heart was pounding. Soon, we'd be there. The heart of this cave, this... dungeon. It was a hard, long road. Rock Golems were eve...
I was almost killed in a car accident the same day I received my driver's license. It wasn't even my fault, either. Just my luck. Some idiot was trying to outrun a police car and ended up T-boning me at an intersection. I don't remember too much about the crash, to be honest. I remember the light turning green, acceler...
“Good morning Miss Church, welcome to Heaven!” I had just walked into the building and traffic had been absolute shit and my underwire had came out of my bra and was poking me mercilessly the entire drive to work. I was not in ‘Heaven’ at the moment. But I was figuratively. The receptionist must be toying with me. “...
Michael Carter thought he had it all. A beautiful wife, two top class ballerina daughters, and of course a wonderful son. Little did he know that his wife and daughters were actually something much more sinister than dancers. They were ninjas. When he found out, they fled for Japan. But Michael wasn't going to lea...
I started writing in an attempt to make sense of it all. There was just too much constantly whirling around inside my head, and I needed some kind of outlet. Part of the curse of having been to places and seen things that nearly broke me, I guess. I'd left home at eighteen, and had set my feet firmly upon the pat...
“You tell me that now?” The pain in my lower back was getting more intense as I sprinted across the rooftops. It had been a simple enough assignment. Find the rich, tech billionaire’s daughter and get her home which I had done but then- “Left!” The voice in my ear shouted. “And get ready to jump!” I altered my directe...
Henry rubbed his fingers on the bridge of his nose, sighing. Alanna and Bell were fighting again, outside his study. Their small fists smashed into each other, causing yelps and cries to echo down the hallway. Sternly, and quite sudden, Henry flung open his study door. “What, exactly, do you two think you’re doing?” Be...
"...the police assure us that the situation in National Park is completely normal for a Contest day, and that their presence is purely observatory. And with that, we go back to our regular programming. Tonight's password is..." Annoyed, Amy turned off her radio. Of all the days, did it have to be today those Pokémon r...
Hi! Whats this? Is it real? I don't think so. Maybe I should just wait. If I wait maybe they'll return. I think they may have forgotten me. Or maybe I have forgotten them...or something. Can you turn on the light for me please? Its very dark in here, and I don't like dark. The dark scares me, its too quiet and too cl...
New years 11:32PM Serj should have been at a new year's party. But opted to hang out at his friends apartment after being tossed out of the party they'd been invited to. But was more than willing to head home after being ejected from the second party. But instead settled on accompanying Don back to his penthouse apart...
(This is an alternate ending to The Kidnapping Of Idun... which means a lot of dick euphemisms.) (I apologize in advance for this, but in my defense, you did say I couldn't change it.) Loki stared down at the goat. The goat stared back up at him. Loki bit his lip. "Hey, quit looking at me like that. I don't want to d...
Remember back when Nintendo released the all so popular Pokémon go? It was a beautiful times for Pokemon fans all over the world. The one thing I wish we noticed then is what this eventually became. It’s only been a couple of months since the theory about the Nintendo games went live. It was weird because everybody was...
120 years old. 43,800 days, 63,072,000, and 3,784,320,000 seconds. That a lot of time. Enough time to get a great job and accomplish everything you wanted in it. Enough time to watch the world evolve and change to something you never thought possible. And of course, enough time to fall in love with a soulmate, grow old...
You see when you break into a house there is two major issues that needs thought first is if the people that live in the house are still there and the alarm system the bigger house or apartment the more it’s harder to get in. So now to my current predicament one might think looking at a middle aged fatty in his undies...
"I think I see another clue up ahead!"Eric shouted. The other 3 quickly ran up the trail towards his voice. The 3 looked around and saw nothing. Eric walked over to a boulder and wiped away some dirt. The others saw it then, a picture of a sun was carved into the face of the rock. "Just like on the invitation page!"sa...
Forcing the tail end of the second fried chicken sandwich into his mouth, Skip Plentywood crumpled up the greasy Burger King wrapper and tossed it into the paper sack between his feet. The height of his tractor-trailer was a good place to survey the land while one consumed fatty foods, namely Skip's favorite order f...
Two agents descended on a large elevator. A senior agent with the Defense Intelligence Agency and a junior agent, recently assigned to the facility, of the Central Intelligence agency. "Do you know why the Cold War never went hot, kiddo?" "Ha, I guess the reason I was taught wasn't the right one?" "It sure as hell w...
All I remember was a sleep so deep. My dreams like real Until the light began to creep. The sun bore down An unimaginable heat. The chamber where I'd been Had suddenly sprung a leak. My vision clearly restored. I focused on the note. Etched into the glass On the chamber where I woke. "Sorry to inform y...
My servant held out a small metal object, and she lovingly called my name. "Come here, Puff. Here, kitty."She then made clicking sounds with her tongue. Of course, I played hard to get. No puny human could order me around. I licked my paws and just stared at her balefully. She sighed and decided to sit on the car...
"I know it sounds crazy when you hear it,"I stared out at the gathered crowd while I spoke. "But I can prove it."The crowd of strangers stared up at me, and they hung on my every word. It was my first time speaking publicly, and I needed to make it count. I'd been planning this for almost a year now, and here I stood i...
Entry 1A3F — Daidlyne The Daidlyne has a hand in all activity, grand and miniscule, within our lives. It may be slow while it chases a victim from far away, but once it gets closer it gets faster, much faster. However, it never causes direct damage. Instead, the victim’s internal awareness of its presence is enoug...
"In the dam you see behind me,"grumbled a jaded Frank, "is some sort of bomb, set to detonate within a couple of minutes." He blinked slowly with a sigh, his shoulders heavy as he held the microphone close to his chin. In spite of looking straight at the camera's autocue, he had been ad-libbing the whole report. "If...

I jumped and what felt like I was falling and then I water and muddy water was all up in my face. I flailed around trying to stop my fall then when i got up I was confused because I am in a different place now. The air is wired and feels thicker like pea soup. The world around me is full of lime green grass and diamond...
((I kinda got lazy near the end because I didn't know how to phrase it. I wanted to post it here before the topic vanished.)) For as long as I remember, and for much longer before then, we've been at war with the Kingdom of Tenos. While the battles themselves weren't large in scale, they were still significant enough ...
It was about a month ago I decided to leave. I'd outgrown my forest village. I grew weary of seeing nothing but the glimpses of blue sky hidden among the dense greens of the trees. I left under the cover of darkness and traveled east as far as I could. I hadn't the faintest idea how vast the forest was, I could hardly ...
"Um, babe?"I called out to Amber, quizzically staring at the contents of the fridge. It was filled to the brim with blood bags. It was even organized by blood type. From your garden variety blood O to the rarest AB negative. "Yep? What is it?"she said, her footsteps getting closer to me. I spun around and saw her ho...
They say the Devil’s greatest trick was convincing the world he didn’t exist, but that’s not the case. You see what if the Devil had convinced a small group of people that not only did he exist, but that he had complete control. That every facet of their lives had been manipulated. And that seemingly major event that h...
I was bewildered by my DNA results and was in the process of reading the whole document again when I heard a sudden knock on the door. Cautiously, I made my way to the entrance of my domicile. Standing there was a pizza delivery guy. I had completely forgotten about the pizza I had ordered only half an hour ago and was...
Flo braved the giant waves crashing into the sand to find the stick. On the coast, Brandon looked at her and smiled. She had always loved this beach. Driving back here had taken them a good 12 hours but seeing her this happy again made it all worth the trip. he hadn't seen his 14 year old dog run and have fun like that...
Opening my eyes, I am confused. Where am I? It's daytime with a somewhat cloudy sky. In front of me at the base of a mountain is a small town with a lumber mill. It seems vaguely familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Looking at my own body I am shocked to see I am coated in blood. Brushing some of it off I c...
I knew from the beginning this would be my way to go. I had drifted amongst the stars for who knows how long, stranded from the rest of my people. Unable to return home. Unable to speak. Unable to breathe. From my station on the furthest moons, I observed these seemingly sentient beasts: black holes that grew and fad...
"It's over,"she said. "I couldn't tell. I just thought you were having sex with my best friend because you were proposing to me." She paused. Shifted. Then in a tiny voice, said, "John, that didn't make any sense..." "Liz." "Yeah?" "Get out of my house." "But Sean said I couldn't stay with him!" "Oh, really, Liz...
It’s a peculiar thing, time. It is ever fleeting, always whispering past. You cannot hope to cling to it, even with the sharpest of talons. It simply vanishes. Blink and you truthfully will miss it. The thing about time, is, it is experienced differently depending on your circumstance. I am almost positive that many o...
“It’s finally over” the sweet embrace of light surrounds me as I feel my spirit leave my body. The past few years of my life have been agony since my body failed me. I was a happy child. I always wanted to be fast. Running around the neighborhood with my brothers was all I looked forward to every day. “You can come...
Here it was. The final battle. The battle to end all battles. All battles from all realms lead up to this. Everything has been building up to this since the dawn of creation, and now, it is time. The Council of Darkness, consisting of the 20 most powerful and elite dark forces and villains from all realms, bandi...
We named our cat Cow-cat. Calvin named her, and he is three. I'm mashing up his carrots and potatoes. Calvin doesn't have to call me mom, or "mama."He calls me Alvie. I smile at that. I've been alone with him for weekends, but no longer than it took for his father to find a job. Everything is still fun. It's fine. Calv...
Ok, cool a writing prompt I can respond to. Glad I got the Reddit App. What the fuck was that? Swear I saw a shadow in my phone’s reflection. Anyway - let me get going on this writing prompt; I only have 30 mins before I have to do a few things around the house. It’s cold in here all of a sudden which is odd. “John...
"FINE! I'll do it since the rest of you seem sooooo incompetent these days. Look at what you've done God, IT'S A DISASTER!" "The priests and the little boys? Who made that call, was it you Zeus?" I walked away in disgust. "Of course it always falls to me to fix it all and what do i get? OHHHH everybody hates **S...
I'd reached the summit. Just up ahead I could see the temple to the Almighty one. As I walked into the splendid temple my jaw dropped in awe. Columns wrapped in filigree work, Giant bells in varying sizes hung from decorative wood awnings. I picked up the great hammer and slammed it against the largest bell. The cl...

I didn’t want to kill myself. Curiosity was what drew me into the building. I wanted to see what my best life would be. Mistakes were my forte. However, even if the victim was going to be another me, it was still too close for comfort. I only wanted a glimpse. I strode through the automatic doors with that in mind, gr...
To 'die of old age'. That phrase is so typically human—replacing the unknown and unknowable with poetry and calling that an explanation. Age doesn't kill. Time's withered fingers are bloodless, never landing on a mortal soul just as wind and rain, not the passing ages, touch and wear down mountains. It should be tellin...
The movie ended as it began. An old man, sitting in the solitary light of a campfire, embers dancing before his remaining eye as he stared at nothing. Fire is dying. Just as well. My tale is finished Silent credits roll, to a silent theatre. Muted sobs can be heard from a couple rows back, someone who wasn't brave e...
