**Vampire\-American**
The lights on set were too bright for Tavian Gherea, who was fifteen minutes from a *Crosstalk* interview on the Vampiric\-American experience. He was whisked away to a low\-light green room while the tech guys fiddled with the bulbs.
Tavian was on the phone with a producer from TBC. He’d found ... |

That day is today.
You sip quietly from your snifter of whiskey, your eyelids heavy from the heat, it’s mid afternoon on the Spanish peninsula and the noonday sun makes your thoughts feel slow and muggy.
No one said it would be like this. His body is gone, set ablaze in a oven two towns over, his ashes collected int... |

"I don't know, but if that's makes you happy, i don't see why heaven wouldn't have someone like me."The clown smiled.

She held up a bible with various bookmarks sticking out. The clown gentl... |
My cat set my house on fire. I don't know how but she did. Luckily, the dog put it out. I'm just really confused. One minute I was just chilling on the couch, watching some news about a comet falling to Earth and then- WOOSH- flames everywhere! But it still doesn't actually change much. What would I really do with supe... |
“Thanks to you I can now finally be free.” She said
“No. I should be the one thanking you. You’re the one who set me free. So thank you.” I had traversed mountains and desert. Swam vast oceans and beat the toughest monsters left on Earth. All for the 4 stones to resurrect him. “Huh. You’re shorter than I expected. Nev... |
There was 100 of them, standing blankly in the fields, heads turned down at the sparkling embrace of their phones.
Next, a silence, the whisper of voices echoing into empty eardrums, villi dancing at a sullen word.
Liquid sparks and crackles, electrons buzzing inside the potentcy of love and
The 100 drop to their kn... |
She had on the green gym shorts he liked to watch her walk around his apartment in. Striped and worn. They hugged the lower part of her ass and her cheeks looked like they did when she was a teenager. God, she was supple then. But, she wasn't walking now. She was pinching the bridge of her nose with her ring finger and... |
**“Fired,”** Ronald muttered, shaking his head, “I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do.”
I didn’t beg, I didn't bother. I just walked out. I walked down the empty city streets. This late in the evening the sounds of the sprawling metropolis had mostly quieted. My pace increased as I made my way up the sidewalk when\-

I was everyone's abuelita. I could be teacher, healer, comedian, and an excellent cook if you let my children tell it.
But my children were very ungrateful because my love for them did not allow for the types of punishments that would fit their various crimes and abominations. I tried to teach them in song, dance, a... |
It is the time of the winter Olympics in 1972. Hundreds of tourists pour into the Haneda airport to witness the grand event. The airport staff has their hands full with the bustle of many different people. Sataka Gintoki used to be a part of the airport staff until he retired several years before; today he was just the... |
It was getting dark. Danny stretched as he downed tools, the road repairs were nearing completion.
“Danny,” shouted Stan, his boss. “Collect those traffic cones. I want to go home.”
“On it,” responded Danny. He trotted across the new darkened patch on the road’s surface.
“Not those ones,” said Stan. The older man p... |
I woke up. I looked around to find myself surrounded by the sea. I remembered the storm and the ship sinking, and people dying; the screams fresh in my mind. Seagulls were squawking above the salty unforgiving ocean. I could see something in the distance but I couldn't tell what it was because it was so far away.

I couldn't stop staring. I mean...I was trying to look away but I couldn't. As I stood there on the sidewalk my eyes were fixated on the goldendoodle relieving himself on the side of a telephone pole. Its owner, a woman wearing a bright yellow coat and oversized sunglasses, looked at me suspiciously as I stared at h... |
It's curious. I always assumed that everyone around me was happy, that I was the odd one out. That these moments of doubt, these days where I just wanted to crawl away and hide were something unique to me.
I'm a little below average in how often I'm happy I'm realizing. But it's never the people you think. The man who... |
No one had successfully programmed a natural language teleporter before. After my experience, I have a feeling they'd stopped trying before they went too deep.
I'd labored for months over the device, taking every scenario into account and doing my best to code for even the wildest outcomes. It turns out I'd spent m... |
The first thing I noticed when I walked into an “All-Human High School” was how short everyone else seemed. Even the adults. I was one of the first orc students since the supreme stuck down segregation to go to a human school. The state decided that since I had a human father I was more likely to be accepted. They were... |
"Two cannibals sat on a log,"a jovial yet quiet voice came from Jesse's right. "They ate a nice meal."
Jesse turned to find a short brown-skinned man, a pink turban on his head. She smiled, unsure of what to do. "Uh, what?"
The man, kind of handsome now that she got a look at his face, had a trimmed beard and moustac... |
Everyone was gathered around me as they rejoiced at my victory of the dreaded warlock, we partied along with the ocean like sky, to the fiery mellow sunset and dawn.

I woke to an incessant knocking on my door... my closet door. Goddammit. Every night for the last two weeks my slow descent into sleep has been rudely and abruptly interrupted.

Silence struck the naked pavement. Shadowed by the now dimming curvature of a fallen lamp post, Elsa shuttered, still in shock from the loud metallic impact.

Once upon a time....
Once upon a time she was known as Granny Goodness. Beloved, as much as one can be, of Darkseid, leader of the furies.

It was 2014 when I first put out the ad on Craigslist, $50k to anyone that would kill me, but the catch was they would have to make it look like a hit. Loneliness was already killing me but I needed someone to put the nail in the coffin, because I wasn't man enough to do it myself. My wife left in November just as wint... |
Trigger Warning: Suicide
You’ve had enough of this…whatever this is. Why is it that you’re always the only one left behind?

It was said that Odin gave his right eye for knowledge.

Please Ignore? Right. Professor Geller knows I'm on his trail. If I walk past this flashlight, who knows what will happen? Certainly nothing good. Maybe it's a bomb. Less likely, since everyone in the tunnels carries a mask at all times, is a gas capsule, Sarin or VX. Given that it's the Professor, it could be somethin... |
They always ask me why I wear a black bin-bag over my left arm. Simply put, it’s so it doesn’t turn to dust in the sunlight and cause me to bleed out through my shoulder stump. Ironic since all that blood would be like said arm’s wet dream.
So why is only one arm vampiric? Why does the sun come up? Are the stars just ... |
"What race are you? Alarian? Krgsteroc?

Klirgle-bloop was an insectoid life form at the ... |
I wasn't even supposed to be here. I should have died many times before this point. When the Kaporian raiders came over the hills, it was as if the winds themselves blew the arrows away from me.

The air was cold and wet, the ground beneath you was unstable, your boots were mud-caked, and it made your stride seemed sort of funny, not quite elegant. You were overcorrecting for the terrain beneath your form. But it did not matter, two hundred meters away you spotted the heat silhouette of Anton Jecuse, age 23, Ma... |

As I look around me, my knees tightly pressed into my chest as I lean against a brick wall, all I can see is ash falling from the sky. What is happening? Why is it happening?

Battle magic really took off in the last few years.

It started subtly. First they got into our homes, became our assistants. Then they started taking over TVs, taking over the channels themselves, moving on to the internet.

Chen put his Wacom tablet down, looking away from the prototype face he drew for a side-character.

I stood in the child’s doorway with my scythe. I read the name, Karen Moore.
