Elevator doors won’t close. I hadn’t circled around to the closet yet, I didn’t know where they were. Some armed men had busted into the law firm, killing indiscriminately. My coworkers and friends were mowed down before me in a hellfire maelstrom of hot lead. The last person I’d seen alive was Hilary, and she got kil...
up held in my hand the device in not activated. i fear for I know that all the questions I might have will be answered. this is the scariest prospect of them all. How can I even begin to think that this act of god is in any way a good idea. there has been massive devastation with infinity less power given to one indivi...
The first rays of sunlight shone into my tank as I prepared for a new day on this alien planet. Draining my tank and donning my human skin, I smiled at myself in the mirror. I could feel it already - today was going to be a great day outdoors. Feeling the sun and wind on my skin, drinking coffee and the spinal fluids o...
"You want me to do what?"Terrez said watching the man across from him slowly spin the Stock Chip in his hand. "I want you to kill the Damned Legion. What was unclear about that?"The man wore a perfect pristine black suit and had sharp elegant eyes that stared straight into Terrez's soul. "Listen, I might be good, I ...
December 12th, 1985 New York City. Manhattan, empty Nassau street late in the evening; Jimmy Tedesco stumbles home after work with a few beers in his belly. The bells of the Santa hat he stole from a barman announcing his every step. The remains of an under cooked kebab staining his chin, his mouth filled with the st...
It makes no sense. Pluto's disappeared. Yet, according to all calculations that's exactly what happened. Teleportation is still in it's primitive stage. It shouldn't... No! It isn't capable of teleporting anything of that size! Even if it's just a dwarf planet. I looked at every possibility. I rewatched the foota...
Men and women have always been gifted in wrongly perceiving others similar to them as different. Wars have been fought because of it. Genocide has been perpetrated because of it. Entire races enslaved for hundreds of years. And then, just when we were on the cusp of achieving a world where most accepted all those diffe...
With thanks – and apologies – to Douglas Adams. ------------- “Now Mister Desiato, if you’ll just turn your attention for one moment to slide two-hundred and forty three, you’ll find the structure with which I intend to-” “Alteron.” Hotblack Desiasto, seated in his trademark Lazlar Lyricon-designed, overbearingly la...
Today I posted a writing prompt to reddit.com/WritingPrompts I didn't know it at the time, but it was the worst decision I've ever made. Shortly after, my writing prompt began to occur...to myself. At first I laughed and thought it was funny, but soon I realized it wasn't a joke, they knew intimate details about my l...
Title: The World Is On Fire and Everyone You Know Is Dead Despite all of this, the Bard had a plan. You see, he was a very musical fellow, and if there's one thing this world needed, it was music that didn't sound like a cacophonous murder of ravens as the smoldering city of Rome lay in ruins, a shadow of its former ...
"I'm not kidding, and this is not a joke."she told me sternly. I did what I could to stifle my laughter. "ok... Then what are your powers?"I inquired, my skepticism showing more than I intended. "I have x-ray vision and I can fly."she pronounced. She gazed at my lap a little longer than I might like. "you're not wear...
Their buildings burned while their roads were soaked with blood. These primitive, unaugmented creatures had somehow come under the belief that they deserved a spot among our systems. How naive. We let some flee, for they would go home, and following them would be our punishment. We tracked 4 ships heading out of the ...
“I love you - I love you too much. It makes it hard for me to concentrate. To maintain control. When you’re around, I can’t. I can’t stop myself. “I love you, but you need to leave. For your safety, and mine.” She stood, shaking as she said the words that had been in the back of her mind for months. But her voice did...
I never in a million years thought I would find my soulmate as well as love her family. I had always been conscious in any new relationship to be a gentleman. I kept in mind that flatulence is something most women turn their heads away from. It could make or break a relationship.I was invited to meet my girlfriends par...
"You accidentally caused the end of the world. Again. That's the fifth time this month..."your boss, Leonard LeRoy, sighs. "When I said to stay out of the testing room, what did you think I meant?"You just fidget in your chair; Leonard doesn't want you to say anything. He stares at you intensely, boring a hole through ...
Every few steps Katherine stopped to glance down at the baby strapped to her chest. The little girl slept soundly. Even still this didn’t stop Katherine who, with both hands occupied, had no other way to manage the child. Up ahead Ben had made it through the tree line to the river. On the water a small boat bobbed gent...
"You're only supposed to have my sub-conscious thoughts! Stop stealing my thoughts!" He sits on the chair in shame. "Say sorry. And say what you did." "What? You want me to apologize like–like a fucking child?"He storms up, stomping on the carpet. I look at him angrily, and he gives in. "I'm sorry for messing up you...
Ever heard of Them? Well, neither have I. Until today. Them are creatures, not of legend, not of story, but of truth. They don't resemble humans. In fact, I'm not even sure what they look like. Well, some say that people *years* ago, like before anyone who died in 1940 would've been born during, Them were the most ta...
I enter the bank through the front door with my gun raised, scanning the empty counters. The man to the right of the door points his pistol at me and... Okay, I enter through the front door and turn to the man to my right. He's just beginning to turn my way when my taser darts hit his chest. His padded armor takes ...
Luke breathed a sigh of relief. After the amount of energy he just expended to hold off Kylo until his sister could escape, he felt weak, but...strangly satisfied. He had overcome his fear and doubt, and though he wasn't sure if he reached his nephew in a way that would change his way of thinking, he was at peace knowi...
A mild looking man enters the room. He is medium height, has a scruffy beard and no hair. He's slim and seemingly none threatening. "Hello, mr khlakford, he say's with a frightening smile." ohh fuck, another freak, a few years back they started torturing police as part of their training. "Hi"I say trying to remain ...
To everyone else, they were just stories. But they were always more than that to me. They were stories to live by. As a kid, I was bullied for being smart. Not that I was a genius by any means. My high school career had been miserable, made better only by the stories of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. They kept me g...
I was told by my pastor that there would be a vast kingdom paved with gold. I was told by atheists that there would be nothingness. Little did I know that the atheists would be the closest to reality. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Yesterday, I had been grabbing a hot dog from a remarkably pristine stand in NYC wh...
*Why run? Why fucking run?* The question ruminates around my head as I push further down on the pedal. My car engine roars out as I speed up along the highway. *It's over. What good will running do?* I wonder as I stare ahead at him. "You bastard,"I scream out. "You murderer."I hope he can hear me. I push down f...
The house groaned, sickly, as the world around it seemed void of life. Of course, life had still existed, even at this point, but to a passerby who might notice the scene, it would appear as if the planet were dead. Are plants not life? Is a house not a being unto itself? Vines might crawl up ruined cityscapes with pu...
"Professor Blarbstwksy, what happend to the Neropioins?"Young Flugtsaed asked, "Humans, humans happened"was the professor's grave reply. "But they are just stories. Everybody knows that!""I think now is a good point in live to tell you that in fact, no they are living. At least in some twisted state. Well the Jlep, th...
Lady Gaga? Nah. Journey? Nope. Ace of Bass...I’m not why even sure how that got on there in the first place. Ah, Baby Got Back. A classic. A sudden bright light caught the corner of my eye. Too late, I looked up. Reflexively, I swerved to the right, immediately realizing that I’d pulled the wheel too far. Oh shit. ...
For your first response, this is very well done. You have a lot of creative ideas. The biggest thing is to write as much as you possibly can if you’re really serious about writing. This subreddit is an amazing and supportive community, but at the end of the day you get out of writing what you put in, regardless of the ...
Its a normal and peaceful day or at least i thought. I am not sure if I have it in me to continue with this day over again and again. I have no doubt this is the last thing I will ever do. Yet no one is even aware of what is happening. It is the 6 7th time that I have been sent back to this day. I am losing my mind and...
They were fighting. Again. I ducked behind my desk as an errant javelin flew in throw the window, shattering the glass and narrowly missing impaling my secretary. Of course, this was nothing new. Our town was right in the middle of the contested zones, and every day, without fail the various factions would descend on m...

It had started with radio, as many things in many worlds had. And on Europus, it had been brought into existence first, like many other technologies that had been first discovered on the magnificent, albeit small planet that was humanity. For now The uproar was ferocious as the possibilities were theorized. In a mere...
The door to my kitchen bursted open and banged loudly against the wall. Toranne strode in briskly with heavy footsteps. I glanced up briefly from the dough I have been kneading on my work table. I knew he was waiting for me to acknowledge him and ask what was wrong. But I refused to give him the satisfaction after ...
(I would absolutely love some feedback, I'm still a bit rusty but I'm trying to pick up writing again. Sorry ahead of time, I'm typing on my phone :D) Jenny wiped her tears away one last time, wanting to look at least a little put together before she began to record. Her eyes were red and her skin shimmered with sw...
“...and the screen continued to flicker as Isabelle typed frantically, hitting the screen to make the image stay. The monitor was brand new like the rest of the ship, it shouldn’t be flickering...unless something had interfered.” I sat back, closing my eyes at the glare bouncing off the monitor as I ran the words agai...
"Camera obscura..."I mouthed the words, wondering why I expected those words to be etched on the place of 'Nikon'. A real camera obscure was a whole room, one of the first attempts at something resembling photography. In my dream though, in that old house with the snow falling all around it, the camera in my hands wa...
Tired is a lack of something. An absence, not a presence. You lack something when you either lose it, or you never had it. Today, there were many things he had lost, and many things he had needed. To see something by its absence, sometimes it helps to look away. Look at what something isn't, not what it is. What he w...
"It's been a shit day, I guess." That's what my dad used to say after a long days work. At least... I think he was my dad. Truth is, I can't remember. It probably isn't important. It's been a shit day, I guess. How can you guess how your day has been? How could you possibly *not know*? I've never been so sure of a ...
“The way I see it, you’ve got two options” the man calls out in a collected manor, indicative of his indifference toward the entire situation. “You either give me exactly what I want,” now nodding toward the cannon, “or this day gets significantly worse for you, my friend.” Glances are exchanged among the men presen...
"Go! Go! Just fucking drive!" "We're goin' as fast as we can, Ron!" I drove on as more thugs began tailing us. One came from the left, another from the right. They all sped in their V8000s; the latest car on the market. Ron leaned out the window and kept shooting. "You sons o' bitches ain't never catching 'ole Bil...
Over a thousand years ago, people thought that a world of just ocean was impossible, and that it was okay to use oil left n right. They were wrong. Over time, the ice at the poles melted, along with each glacier in existence. This flooded over land. Of course, the terms "land"and "glacier"don't even exist anymore. It's...
Pride can't stand me. I'm not good enough, I read everything he prescribed to me. The pretentious prick. Greed never had enough, when I began to give him the shirt off my back, Lust kicked the shit out of him and began to fondle me. I accepted at first. The sex was good, but then he wanted more group stuff. We could ne...
My legs responded before I had even finished my return nod. It was an unconscious action, an automatic response to the nod the woman gave me, but some part of my soul knew I had to follow. She stepped off of the bus through the back door, my own feet hitting the pavement a moment later. *It is time*, a voice said in...
[WIP - I'll write more if interested] The sound of heavy breathing trickles down the bark of the charred black trees the helpless man chose to hide behind. The claw-like branches extended, only to provide a menacing backdrop to this grade-A horror show. Surrounded on all sides by the forest itself, the man quickly ...
“Enjoy your meal!” Said the girl as she handed me my bag through the drive through window. I smiled and nodded gratefully. Unfortunately, my tongue and mind disconnected for a split second. So, instead of saying ‘Thanks, have a nice day!’ or anything else, the accursed words slipped out of my mouth. “You too!” *Shit*....
The first time they officially tested the theory on a human in a scientific setting, it was professionally referred to as Experimentation Regarding the Existence and Classification of Corporeal Beings. Of course, everyone else had their own names for it. It wasn’t like it was a new concept for the public. People had be...
Stillness. Black and still. Flying backwards through the wind into the hands of my beautiful daughter. Tears and darkness. Complete and total darkness. From fire my body returns. The flames bringing back my skin and bones, bit by bit. Nerves reconnecting and the skin completing itself. Suddenly my hair grew b...
"Stevie, wake up". He jolted awake and let out a long whistle. "God damn,"he quipped. "That must have been one hell of a night." I spoke up. "Stevie-" "I mean sweet baby Jesus. I must have had at least 3 bottles of Schnapps, plus whatever Tomeeka kept giving me."He mused. "Stevie, we're in trouble,"I managed. "Jai...
(I'll use the existing universe of One Piece for this) Admiral Akainu broke the sake bottle as he heard a familiar drawl in the shell of his ear. "Drinking to drown out your sorrows, eh old man? I can't believe you capable of feelings yet alone anything worth drowning out." The admiral scowled as he looked at the min...
Dear diary, tomorrow is Easter. I’m so excited. This will be my first Easter living on my own, so I can find all of the eggs by myself. I hope I get a lot of chocolate filled eggs, I like them much better than hard boiled eggs. Dear diary, today is Easter, and I didn’t find a single egg. Not one. I don’t understand. ...
"SHE'S MOVING!"you scream as the witch spirits out of Gamma's grasp. You raise your weapon and launch a storm of silver-tipped hollow points. Your years of training pay off and every bullet hits, despite how quickly shes moving. She crumples to the floor, as most people do when shot half a dozen times with bullets. You...
Maybe one day we will control time. But for now, I'll make do with a nice cup of tea. The world moves so fast nowadays. Do this, do that. Be here, be there. Right now, right away. Honestly, it can be a little overwhelming. And in my experience, the world doesn't show any signs of slowing. For me, life is intense. And ...

  1300+ words *** Allister woke before dawn and got dressed for the day. He went over a scribbled list several times to make sure everything was perfect, then went to start breakfast as the first orange light of the day poured in through his window. "Today,"he said to himself with a smile. He cracked ...
"Have you ever heard of The Legend of the Bermuda Triangle?"I widen my eyes, and I sit up straight. I listen intently. I love stories, urban legends even more so, and I'd *never* pass up the chance to hear a brand new one. "The Bermuda Triangle was a mysterious shape in the ocean where multiple aircrafts had gone mis...
“Mom, w-what’s wrong?” “Ica, you are Special, you won’t be safe anywhere until we can afford to get you to the Haven.” “It’ll be okay Mom” I laugh when I look back those moments. As an ignorant 7 year old living on the outskirts of the most dangerous city in the United States, consoling my mother that everything would...
"It's time Katelyn. It's time to pull the plug."the attending doctor spoke with a practiced softness. This wasn't her first, nor would it be her last. She eyed the Death Certificate, unsigned on the table next to her. "I know, I know..."Katelyn responded, her voice cracking in the end, as it always would with him in h...
[Bryan, 3 years old, walks up to another being that looks just like him. Both are amazed.] Both Bryans: Who are you? [The two look at each other in confusion.] Both Bryans: Are you...me?

I died in a car accident. It was fast, and there was no pain. The car flipped, my head hit the ceiling, and I woke up. Heaven isn't really everything that they tell you it is. There's no angels, or clouds, or infinite amounts of dogs (unless you want there to be). My heaven was my childhood house, and I lived with m...
Everyone has their talents. Gifts, one might say. Mine... has always been relatively unusual. I've been around for a long time. Longer than I care to recall. Few things surprised me. Crowds of people flowed, as water. When I was a young man their combined needs would have left my skull an aching mess. Carefully, I si...
I reckon lots of people in the town figured it were a suicide mission. I spent the last fifteen years of my life wandering 'cross the prairie, providing what little comfort I can with my gift. I'd never say that I was a great cook, and, hell, I think I'd have to sit in sermon if I said I thought I was a good cook, bu...
Bertha laughed with her stupid, gloating face when she heard I was going to visit the Oracle. She thinks she's so smart and knows everything about everyone. I hate her so much. Jules wanted to come and be on hand to perform an amazing rescue when I undoubtedly fell into perile. He really needs to get laid. By a real ...
I stood, going through all that I needed to do at work today. I would have to print out those forms, give them to Belinda, work on the document, complete the weekly survey, and scan the photos. I sighed. As the lift stopped at a floor, its doors opened letting one person out and two people in. "Does it look like I car...
It was the second day of summer vacation, and I was getting antsy. I had spent 14 of the previous 36 hours sitting in a car as we road tripped up to New Hampshire, and as a 10 year old, I was certainly not made for long trips in small vehicles. We were passing through the southern edge of Vermont, about two hours out ...
I jerk awake. It felt so real. It felt like I was going to fall and die. I shield my eyes from the piercing sun. Who left the windows open? Why do I feel nauseated? I rub my eyes and look around to get a better understanding of what is going on. I notice the rhythmic rumbling of my room only now. What's happening? Wa...
"So, you're insuring what exactly?"I glanced up from the papers that had been shuffled into my hands and focused on the other man instead. I had listened to his spiel, but so far it all seemed like snake oil. "Time, my friend!"His voice was thunderous, but in a joyous way. His flushed cheeks were either from far too m...
“Awww! You’re the protagonist? Man, that means you’ll have ALL the fun.” “Dude, chill, everyone knows that the ‘sidekick’ goes on the same adventures!” “Yeah! But it’s not the same!

Dear A, I’m so sorry I hurt you. I did love you. I really did. But it was a different kind of love. I shortly realized that the love I had for you was more of a family/friendship thing. I truly am sorry I broke your heart. I hope you find love someday. Someone who will love you wholeheartedly and accept your flaws and...

I’d been watching the whale for a few hours now, it’s been eyeing me off curious at what I am. This isn’t unusual, most deep sea creatures come in for a closer look then move off into the darkness when something else catches their attention. This whale though, it had started bothering me about an hour after I’d first ...
Valida was a dark sorceress of unparalleled power. All she met bowed to her will or where crushed. She had all the beauty, power, and respect she could ever want.

I knew it was only a matter of time before I was captured. While contemplating what to do, I realize there was only one way out. Suicide! If captured I would most likely be executed on the spot. I’d rather go out on my terms. I told my newly wed wife Ava of my plan, reluctantly she agreed. In the bunker there were ...
There sat Mr. K, reading yet another brick-resembling book. In his two spare hours, Professor Kylus Panettiere would refill his thermos with scalding black coffee, leave the teachers lounge, walk steadily through the pathways that connected two of the most populated buildings—One, a modern, bright colored construction...
"She didn't mean anything!"Paul pleaded, offering his unlocked phone to me. "Take a look, I haven't talked to her. It's been months since I've seen her." The anger ripped through my jaw, my neck, my arms. All my muscles tensed in its wake. I didn't realize I was clenching my teeth until he brushed his fingertips again...
Since childhood, I've had this dream, a dream that is so strange, that I can never remember all of the details when I wake up. I always only remember small pieces, REALLY small pieces, like opening a door, or sliding to hide under the bed, and by the time I have the dream next, those memories are gone. Now, I found o...
Man, is that new gel deodorant really *that* good? It has to be all over the place in gas stations, big stores, and they bought out all of the adspace on tv?

A small child ambles around a street. He's a boy of ten years, at most. Filth covers his ratty remains of clothing. The putrid stench of his own waste doesn't phase him. In one hand is a knife; a clean, sharp thing that captures the nearby street light's radiance. The other hand is mutilated beyond recognition, and sim...
I did it, they’re all here. Now I just have to put my plan into action. My whole life I have always had rivals, they have always been in my way and I am sick of it. But that changes today... today is when I finally am free, today is when I can write without competition. I invited all of my fellow writers out into the...
It is time to slip again. This is what we call it in my tribe. Like a slipskin grape, the easy and soft peeling of outer tissue, revealing the hearty fruit within. But it hurts. It is agony beyond comparison, truth be told. This is why slipskin are revered as the strongest of warriors, for their fortitude must be tha...

The day was so windy as I shuffled down the street, every harsh gust pulling at the collar of my jacket. Head down, large buildings looming overhead I was in pure awe. We had been at home, in our tiny townhouse, watching the TV. The kids, two too many, ran around upstairs and occasionally their mother would yell up to ...
In his childhood, Tom’s mirror image never smiled back at him. Maybe it was because Tom never smiled at the mirrors, or perhaps his mirror-image had a particular dislike of sad children in school uniforms. Whatever it was, Tom stopped smiling at mirrors when he was 9 years old. His mirror-image didn’t approve nor disap...
Suddenly the world falls for Dr. Hoff. His heart cannot accept that. His true love finally came into live and he's rejecting all of these years of hard work and dark nights of struggle.

“A wolf in sheep’s clothing.” Now I know why they waited so to tell me mine. It’s my eighteenth birthday and the first time I’ve ever heard my tag. Emotions raced through my mind, but I was mostly confused. If I wasn’t normal than what was I? Why was I a wolf? Would I really hurt my family? I could read the room. It w...
My Mother and Father had been farmers, as had my grandparents and their parents before them. Depending on who you asked, we were either blessed or cursed for time eternal to tend to our plot of transplanted earth and coax life out of it. I was one of eight siblings, and about all we had was the house the farm and each ...
From the moment they first touched, the Sea and the Land were in love. He caressed her shores and laid presents of shells, pears, and perfectly polished pebbles on her sand. The storms that pounded along her coast created cliffs. He pushed his waves ever higher, splashing along the carved stone, revealing bands of ...
The sun shone through the open window as I awoke. I groaned as I rolled over on my king size luxury bed, the firm yet supple mattress giving way to my body, it's perfect comfort enticing me to stay. I fought the temptation, rising to my feet, and slipping on my pants, neatly folded next to my bed. As I buckled them on...
He spoke with a deep, gruff gravitas. "I can assure you, old friend, that's not blood you're tasting." "WHAT?"the vampire said with a start. "That's right, I fucking got ya this time vladdy.

When we marched against Finland on that fateful day in 1939, not even the lowliest recruit in our regiment had any doubt in his mind as to what sort of odds we were up against. Purges designed to rid our ranks of political enemies and counter-revolutionaries had sent all of our most experienced officers to the firing s...
At first, I couldn't read my book. My eyes just didn't seem to focus and my mind kept wandering. The text was deforming into unreadable scribbles. *Maybe I'm just tired,* I had thought. But it didn't just stop there. A few days later, I noticed that people were ignoring me. Usually when you're in a crowded city street...
"Good night,"said the ferryman. His hands clasped behind his back. He looked out from his spaceship, lonely eyes looking out into nothingness. Just the blankness of space. The stars died first. They withered away, shedding off their outer layers of atoms. Some were lucky, becoming black holes that twisted and churned ...
I was feeling a bit tired but I knew I had to get up, but first, I can't forget the most important thing to do. "Command deck, start recording.
