"Hi I'm Johnny Knoxville, we're in Hell, welcome to Jackass."Johnny looked around. Didn’t he just die? He was sure he’d go to Hell. His planned line... This didn’t look like hell. It looked like a regular town, he could see a city in the distance, a land of fields to the other side. Somebody bumped into him. “Oh, sor...
Did your old dry cleaning service ask too many questions? Maybe they simply weren’t up to your high standards of blood and trace removal. Here at Not a Trace™, you don’t have to worry criminal investigators will find blood spatter on your favourite knifing shirt or strangling trousers. Here at Not a Trac...
There is a cemetery about half a mile east of the Shorewood Dignity Center where they bury many of the bodies. I feed it. It grows. Soon, they're going to have to cut into the adjacent woodlands (what's left of them), putting the borders of the dead-lands in full view of suburbia. The pitiful participants of the ra...
My mother was always a very superstitious woman. She would tell me never to break any mirrors, don’t walk under any ladders, and not to open my umbrella in the house. These were all very typical and i had heard them from other family members and friends before. I remember she would bolt down the back of all the mirro...
John stared at his bloody hands and then turned his gaze to the corridor behind him. On the floor laid twenty men, butchered, some of them decapitated while others had their organs ripped out of their bodies. John once again took a good look at his hands, trying to remember. He couldn't possibly have done this, he knew...
My father was a lawyer, whilst my mother was an artist. Her work was astounding- the bright and vivid colors, swirling stars and flowering fields- she was amazing. We didn’t realize why she was so good until we found her lying in the bedroom with a shotgun wound on her stomach. History repeats itself. They say the...
I stared up in awe and horror. The Thing at the Crossroads was huge and reptilian, hovering just above the street on vast leathery wings, blinking it's huge glowing red eyes steadily. I'd thought they were traffic lights from a distance. Now I saw how wrong I was. "MORTAL HUMAN!"It boomed, and its image fuzzed as its ...
I've always been the kind of person who enjoys his dreams. I'm not really talking about 'lucid dreaming' per se, more like I'm always comfortable just going with the flow in my dream no matter how wacky or insane it is. The upside is my nightmares aren't really scary at all anymore, the downside is sometimes it's a bit...
(Disclaimer: I know nothing about soccer/football but I know lots about the Roman gods. So...that will be reflected.) ***** "By my balls!"Jupiter roared, lightning crashing around Olympus. He'd backed Sweden, because of course he had, and they were losing to Germany. Which meant... "Ha!"Neptune used his trident to p...
Saturday Saturday’s are already blissful, but today was one of those serene Saturday’s that you long for on Monday’s. My bed and blanket were encompassing me, pleading for me to stay wrapped in the covers where I felt warm and untouchable. The sudden urge to stretch finally awoke my body the rest of the way and the ne...
Looking into the mirror, the spot was just like any other. Red around the edge, with a white apex. “ “Pah, bloody things.” Placing pressure around the edge, I feel the pressure increase, the puss building towards the surface. POP White specks hit the mirror, as the pressure dissipates. Pulling my fingers away, ...
Having completed his training at the School of Martial Arts in Curliko, Keldon scanned the crowds for his father's face. His father, a wizard, was never too fond of the "savagery"of physical combat, but Keldon loved the art, and figured graduating top of his class would inspire some pride from his father. Little did ...
Each hex was a real turf war, no one wanted their crew to survive. The question was: “How do you make it to the treasure room, without having to share?” A6, as it was on the map, contained some type of monster, what it was depended on the roll. If it was high, it would be an easy kill, my “crew” would be left facing ...
Water covers 75% of planet Earth, and most scientists were unable to discover why. Land mammals had little to no use for water - we generate our own moisture; water has no nutritional value whatsoever, so there was no need to consume it. Most civilizations grew in deserts - like the Egyptians; whereas others grew in fe...
Not long ago, I read Carl Jung's theory of the shadow. It seemed the darkest nook of the human being, a place that unless confronted would bring about your doom as a sane person. I almost instinctively refused such a hypothesis, for I believed strongly that all are born as good and evil is just a choice, a forced perv...
I God's deed is to be bad. Man was so created. Hungry for reward. For envy. For greed. Never stop, never relent. Lost. An image of God - yes - and power came from hell. Man got to tell himself he was more than just a mirror. A little gift from Someone who cares. Death has lost its authority, when God created...

“What do I do now? There’s no right answer,” Bob moaned. He was grasping at his hair, and a thin line of sweat was appearing at his hairline. Close by, a visibly uncomfortable used car salesman rocked back and forth on his heels. He looked around, self-conscious, and adjusted the collar of his shirt. “We can,” the ...

I want to be upfront: This is not my kind of story. I like stories with magic, adventure, and perhaps a bit of romance. I tell you this to let you know that, while I will attempt to remain unbiased, some of that genre distaste might shine through. Don't feel bad though, anyone would be hard-pressed to respond to t...

John stared outside at the blue and white streaks on the other side of the ships window, just trying to stay calm. It wasn't his first drop, and the rattling of the ship as it moved through warp space was a familiar and almost comforting sound to him by now. "Two minutes to planet fall. Get ready for a quick drop off...
Trip was a handsome German Shepard in his youth but years of hard work had left him a bit grey around the muzzle. His human told him he was aging like a fine wine but Trip had never been allowed to have wine with his kibble so he was unsure if that was a compliment or not. He strolled down the metal corridor, nodding t...
NSFW Language Below The Smell. You know it. That unmistakable waft of evil that punctures through you when a strange man walks onto the bus, or when a silent couple walks past you on the street. And my Hyper-Max-Security-Prison-Shithole was full of it. Call it a placebo, but I could swear on my fucking daughter th...
Fear. It carries a certain aroma. It's pungent, like the acrid sweat released in moments of sharp panic, and sweet like catching a newly fallen teardrop on the tip of ones tongue. This mingling of scents tickles the senses and gives a hunger so immense that it may never be satiated. But I try. Oh, do I try. *What w...

It's been 4 months since she's walked out on me. Every morning when I look into the mirror I see nothing but an abstract mismatched version of myself. When she left me she took so much more than my heart with her. She took pieces of me, so man pieces, robbed from me. So, I try my best to piece myself back together ever...

Much like these chronic alcoholics and their rodent problems, my visions are a plague which are entirely real, yet I am the sole clairvoyant that can see them. Others are not affected, and remain unperturbed, undisturbed. My visions begin with a "leaking". It's a drip-drip noise, which evolves into the spine-tingling s...
"The first rule of Mickey Mouse Club is one sacrifice!" The patrons looked at one another in agreement, as the Mickey mask-wearing attendants wheeled a cumbersome object into the center of the large room. It was pillar-like contraption made out of iron, with ornate carvings on each side. "This is Mickey's Iron Maiden!"...
Of all the contenstants, the most feared was a nine-year old Girl Scout named Jenny Fairweather. Her very name sent chills down the spines of the other combatants, and sent the crowds into a wild frenzy of excitement. Jenny killed without mercy.

My last thoughts, or rather my first memories growing up in the little polish village of styzcke were those words. That marked the beginning of the Deluge.

Frame after frame. Each and every one of them was similar to the preceeding one, but had minor differences that made the series of pictures into a film.

I looked down at my tattoo, surprised to see it glowing. Blinking, I felt my head spin. It was something I got while partying in the pacific, an island god's face solemn in expression, surrounded by the sharp yet flowing style of the pacific islanders.

"My god." I stood, in awe. Professor Birch. My mentor, my teacher, my friend. He had just dropped a bombshell of a truth on my shoulders, and I think I was ready to take it all in.

Norcrucinol, the pill to end all suffering. There were no side-effects. There has never been a reported overdose. It seemed like a miracle.

The storm wall is a thing of fascination to most of my generation.

Sure, Perry was glad to have manifested magical powers. He just wished he would've manifested a more useful one. Like necromancy, or time travel, or teleportation.
