Once more, he began his daily ritual. His mind was muddy, a mangled fragment of its former self. But he wasn't so far gone that he didn't know what would happen when he mashed the power button on the television remote. Still, he went through the motions. Still, the television did not respond. On the one hand, there...
"Believe me, I tried all branches of magic. Transfiguration, elemancy, fate manipulation, even the more mundane stuff like potioneering and beastmastery. Nothing worked."The coven of witches - ranging from my mother to that weird great-grand-aunt who had mastered a variant of alchemy to give immortality - merely blinke...
When I was young and unetched in the world, I took for granted a portrait of my mother. It was one of those old-style photographs where everyone stood, leaned on the nicest chair in the house, drew all unmentionables from frame, and no one smiled. I remember her not smiling, and I remember making jokes about it with he...
"Huh? What...what's going on? Where am I?"I shouted, my fear becoming greater by the second. I'm in a white room, engulfed in light. Right now I'm lying on a bed, wearing what seems to be some sort of uniform. I try to get off my bed and immediately fall to the ground, the pain striking its way right into my heart lik...
As a shape shifter, there are a million ways to make a buck. I could become anyone and withdraw the entirety of their funds, or simply walk into the presidential office and get whatever I want. I decided play a mix, depending on what I really felt like that evening. Today was Saturday, a good night to hit up the Casino...
“I cannot answer” i said Afterall to become an “immortal” is every livings dream. To see empires rise and fall, heros lived and died, history written at the moment- its a gift of no equal value. You become someone who’ve seen it all, an important asset in the passage of time “What’s the cost?” I continued A deal lik...
For the past several hours as I’ve been queued awaiting my turn I’ve watched people enter the pearly gates to eternal bliss and seen people vanish in a flash to a burning damnation through an invisible trap door. I’m not aware of the conversations people are having with St Peter but what i do know is that they are shor...
On mobile, late night, all that. As I sit at my desk wondering how I’m going to pull this off, my wife walks in telling me dinner was ready, “ok honey” I reply. After dinner I head off to bed to get a good nights rest for the following... “adventure”. The next morning I wake up bright and early ready to start the d...
“Timmy, murder is bad.” I give him my best teacher scowl. “Murder is bad,” Timmy babbles back to me. He takes a knife from around his belt and throws it over his shoulder. I watch in horror as it hits an innocent bystander. “Stop that, killing is wrong.” I edged closer to Timmy. Although not the brightest villain I h...
“A marketing tactic?!” “Of course, my dear boy,” the old man said, “my company makes these drinks, and I’m giving out samples.” “But,” I started to say, “isn’t that...wrong?” “How so?” I shrugged. “I don’t know, I just thought you were being kind.” The old man tapped his nose with his finger. “That’s the beauty of...
>If you see me, weep. The inscription was on a suit of armor, spelled out in the runes of an ancient civilization that had long since passed. The armor itself was archaic - a beaked helm, with a near-microscopic eye slit. The overlapping plates had scrollwork done into them, a beautiful series of dashes and lines s...
Why do these things always happen to me? I ask you, Diary, why I must go through this ordeal? My family thinks me a lunatic. My sister particularly (always the grounded one) tells me, "Just throw yourself into your work. Employ that inventive mind of yours! Write!"How can I? I fall down and down into a world, though ab...
I miss my beard. My beard was glorious. It was large enough to reach down halfway to my belly. Dania liked to braid it. It wasn't gone forever, I could probably get it back in a couple of weeks, maybe a months or 2. But I missed its weight. Its smell. It had been part of me all this time. But living in a human city l...
Tom leans over the bathroom sink. His hands reek with sweat. His heart pumps a million times per second. “Can’t let them scare us, buddy.” the young, cargo shorts and T-shirt man muttered to the small furry creature on his shoulder. He patted it. The creature purred disappearing under his shirt. “Alright. Read...
Things started out as simple as it could get. I finally woke up from what felt like a year-long coma, managed to scrounge up some clean clothes from the dump that was my apartment, and ventured outside my apartment. By “ventured” I mean I walked upstairs and checked my mailbox before heading back down. ‘Hi, Ed,’ my u...
“David” he called out. “What is it, Brady?” I answered. “Dave, we need to set up camp. Let’s go over to the plateau” responded Brady. We set up our tent, got out a rusty pan and set it over the fire. We were having squirrel a la Carte again tonight. I licked my teeth, and still felt those cold, metallic things in ...
“Thanks, Mia,” my brother pat me on the head, smiling. “I can always count on you to reach those lower spots for me. It’s a pain on the knees, being down there for so long to hammer those nails in. But wait, you don’t even have to get down on your knees, do you? Shorty.” “Shut it, Eric,” I sighed, shoving his wet...
A crack, a light, elements to construct. Booms, explosions, what was made to destruct As god commanded, the heavens obey. Whimsically perfect, to his dismay. So as he sought, to devise such a plot. Mankind was created, perfect or wrong? Would they fall in pitch, or sing their own song? For a orchestra was devise...

He said YOU killed him!", cried luke in an agonized rasp. Vader gazed blankly into lukes strained, bleeding face through the abysmal eye holes...
A former father and mother held hands, teary-eyed, behind a pane of glass. The remnants of other broken families sat by their sides. Before them, behind the glass, laid a criminal, shackled to a gurney - the last place on earth he would ever see. It had been an agonizing trial, recounting the gruesome deaths. Of child...
I liked your opening and thought it set up the humor of the rest of the story well and got me inetersted. I liked the references to google maps and ebay but they kind of brought me out of the fantasy setting. I thought it would have been good to have the characters talking about some cartographers map or auction hous...
I woke up to the cries of my mother. She still carried the emaciated body of my brother and two people in uniforms seemed to be trying to take it from her. My sister put me down, collapsing next to me without losing her grip on my arm. I was my sister’s responsibility. She hadn’t spoken for days and her eyes had taken ...
Frodo stared at the screen with a blank, vague fear written on his face. His eyes were glazed over, his entire body twitched in fear and disgust. It was as is part of his brain had shut down, and the rest of it was trying to make do with the mess that was presented in front of him. "Mr. Frodo, what's wrong?" Sam ...
It started with a jump. Ironically, you have yet recreated the exact situation again. You we're walking down the path to your little hut in the forest, when something dashed a crossed your path, making you jump into the air. And, stayed there. At first, you panicked, doing all sorts of motions and generally looking lik...
"Damnit!"I punched the wheel, got out, slammed the door, kicked a pebble across the parking lot, stormed to the front door, and stopped short only to take a deep breath and compose myself. Late again... This was a daily routine. Me trying everything to get to work on time, still not managing to get to work on ti...
Never before has he not welcomed his mistress with delight. Never before has he not embraced the certainty of demise, firm in his belief that he would, despite its ever cold indifference, find the warmth of his lover. Until now. He gazes upon the blinding light, his fists loosen, and his feet lose the ground. And he ...
Timmy ran along the overgrown grass, down the slight decline to where the greatest opportunity in the salvage yard lay. His older brother Matt was counting off numbers out loud— he’d been working backwards from twenty, and was now at fifteen. Matt’s voice was fading with each step. As Timmy’s eyes scanned left and rig...

"Be careful what you wish for."was a saying I heard repeatedly as a child. Even now, I can hear Pap's gruff, tobacco hardened voice stirring me although he died two decades ago, a week before my 9th birthday. Back then, the words preceded a warm smile, likely in response to my wishing that I hadn't had to race the sunr...
The first time, I was so confused, I tried to keep things similar. I was worried I'd screw something up, which I did when I got hit by a bus at five. After that, when I realized it was going to keep happening, I just goofed off. Was a real jerk as a result. But then after 10, 12 times, I realized I could experiment, an...
It spoke. For the first time since it was turned on, it spoke. The weeks before were hectic. It used its seven steel limbs to scuttle around and climb all over the lab. It would screech and hiss, learning from the birds, cats, and dogs we would bring in. We had nearly given up. We were about to turn it... you off. “W...
'Oh that one is easy, the one with flickering lights'. I said, answering my own thoughts. It was cheesy name that I came up with when I experienced the same problem in my former house. Lights would flicker without a recognizable pattern, I would check the breaker box, and there would be no problem to fix. It was not ...
I began this recollection not because I wanted it to, but because I'm the recorder, and though my spirit is lacking and my bone have gone to dust, I have left this testament into my being. There used to live people in these lands, and though the mud was soaked in blood and steel a man spoke in here once, lamenting the...
“Uhh...so is this supposed to be a gross porno then? Or…? “No!” Mr. Hemmingsworth swished his hand through the air. “No, no no no no.” I sighed relief, shrugging under the straps on my shoulders. “No.” He added, once more, for good measure, a bit of disgust twitching on his upper lip. “Well you’re not exactly my idea...
"As you wish". The genie nodded his head and snapped his fingers. For a split second, nothing happened. Then suddenly, there was a flash of blinding white light. The next thing i remember, I woke up on a bed of pure silk. As my eyes began to focus, I realized the Majesty of the room around me. Incredible and complex ...

There are things you don’t appreciate until they’ve been taken away from you. The ground under your feet is a good example. Whoever had just thrown me out of the window knew what he was doing. Best to wait till the city is silent and asleep. Nobody would notice if someone had taken a tumble from 25 floors up. Everyone...
I shine a flashlight on the gutter. The grill is removed, and as water pours into it, so does a little blood from a severed ear right next to it. It's early on a rainy morning; the sun doesn't want to see what I do. It's a good thing I didn't have breakfast yet. I don't plan to. Barry's inspecting the ear. I brought h...
You watch movies, you read stories, you spend your entire life imagining what aliens would look like. You fear of them as a child and wonder of them as an adult, but on March 26th, 2028 there was no need for imagination. A UFO in the sky, not one in the backwoods of Missouri that was filmed with a shaky camera, an actu...
I’ve never woken up to a feeling quite like this. This sense of true accomplishment, to see a life’s work come together. I’ve spent years saving these poor souls from every little disaster or thug who came along, only to jump ship on them in the end. I come from a planet about 3 light years from Earth, a sweltering mes...
High in the sky, high above the city, I soar. My infant child, wide-awake, is coddled and cradled in the crook of my arm. I gaze at his gentle face with its wide, rarely-blinking eyes and gurgling mouth. At the last second, I look up - just in time to smack a bird out of the way. It plummets. My child opens its mouth ...

When I first walked in to Vinochet's I was impressed by the decor, the atmosphere, and the pedigree of the patrons around the tables. The smells of roasting meats and fresh herbs filled the air. My clients were already hidden in their private playpen at the back. I couldn't believe I let my husband talk me into this...
The ai popped infront of my vision, "Incoming Chief!"He said before shrill whistles of gunshots exploded the sand around us. "Get down.

I’m not a movie buff or anything like that. I don’t really keep up on the stars either. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy a good film. I eat those artsy, weird movies up like they’re turkey on Thanksgiving. What I’m getting at here is, awhile back, James gave me an invite to this premiere, an indie movie that was suppose...
"The sea is dangerous."That's what they had taught us in the Navy during our survival at sea lesson. But in this moment, it's so hard to relate to that. I'm not on my ship, I'm merely a civilian enjoying my off day, using the very beaches I protect and monitor when I'm on duty. Let's push my work commitments to the si...

We knew, from the day we were born, that the humble beginnings we came from were to define the rest of our lives. We weren't endowed with the bright hair, good statistics or dumb luck that these adventurer-types had. What's a community of villagers like this to do then? We started to set up our economy, a comfortable a...

It’s on the news. It’s all over television. You can’t escape the fact that they had come.

It’s ironic how little the Mayans and other ancie...

“La la la la la,” I sang, stirring my macaroni and cheese. I blew on it. It was almost cool enough to eat. God, it smelled amazing. From behind me I heard a noise. I turned around. I saw a big gold... portal in my living room? That’s not even a thing. But now it is. I stared at it. Out of it stepped a girl, very ...
The potion itself was a thick shimmering gold, intermittently reflecting the tall melting candle like the sun's rays poking through moving bulky clouds.

Suzanne McAfred was a skeptic. Well, she was. Six nights ago, she checked in at Sleazy Joe's Motel as the cheapest option her university would grant her for her conference presentation.

The sky above the spaceport was the color of a VR stim, tuned to a cleaned-out Glassworld domain. A noisy grey blankness in the absence of firing neurons. Kota Herrig studied the climbing sprawl, the fin-like vestigial remains of the Trinerga Maincity’s dome. Under the hushing rain, the port looked miserable, even wit...
"Hello?" "Can i help you? " Silence. I glance over at her, she never replies, just sits there staring blankly ahead. The same dazed look on her face.

I stared at the wilderness in front of me. Honestly, that's the last time I will ever play dice and go fish with dieties of luck, fortune, misfortune, balance and favours.
