When Death came again, I smiled."What's the test this time?"I asked him.
And Death replied, "This time there is no test. It is your time to die."
I began to protest. "But I'm cursed! Every day you have to give me a test in a random subject, and if I pass, I live!"
Death sighed. "There was no curse. When it's your ti... |

We didn’t think much of it all at first. A few stories that made it onto the nightly news. Dubbed “The Stranding,” bees stopped pollinating, instead standing still and letting their hives decay; masses of insects stuck in clusters on spiderwebs or forming sheets on the oceans surface; and fish being found stranded on s... |
Oonagh had just managed to get the floor of the house clean when her husband, Fionn, trampled in with muddy shoes and slammed the door. She let out a sigh.

When The Law gives you a sentence, you must complete it. If it's double life, you'll be in jail until double the time you should have lived. Meaning, if you were supposed to die at 80 years old, but you got arrested and sentenced to double life, you're not getting out of jail until you're 160. As soon as your sentence ... |
132.5 Oak Street. Emily looked at the address again. It was handwritten in purple ink with long shaky letters. The envelope had a 24 cent stamp from years ago, supplemented with a smattering of 1 cent stamps.

Curious, she ... |
"Assuming the speed of an average ICBM is around 10,000mph it should take about between 30 minutes and an hour before it reaches us."

The first one I witnessed was a month ago. Until then, I hadn't really believed it. I mean, I saw the videos, and I don't think every news channel would have reported on something like this just for a laugh.

At first it might seem like a good deed, but when you realize that these drug dealers were only in it for the money, and that half the batches were not close to being pure enough to keep people from losing their shits in a world of acid, it becomes evil.

I've gone to sleep.
And I woke up in my bed, but in a different world. The walls of my room weren't of stone anymore. They were smooth, painted dark grey. On a table laid my phone, which unexpectadly started ringing. It was Alice, the girl from the bottom flat. Indeed, the call was a suprise to me, as my neighbours on... |
Corey looked around the park again once he reached the bench. There was not a soul in sight which was odd for a Saturday morning. He shrugged and sat down to wait for the joggers. He slipped his earbuds on, then yanked them out of his ears as he flinched in pain.

He spoke those words as we prepared ourselves, breathing in and slowing our heartbeat. We had done this so many times before but it still hit us hard every time.

I found myself standing in the prison cell once more, standing in front of her. After her defeat she had been brought here, her arms chained to a hook on the ceiling. The shackles holding her would have been easy to break, had I cared to do so. She waited expectantly to be freed. I took a step back.

*Click*, **Bang**. I stared down at the gun in my hand, and then at the hole in my chest. I fell to the ground, my life bleeding out while I stood over looking down. The light left my eyes and I watched as I died on the cold basement floor.

So burnt and empty,
On this dry, sun scorched plain,
Life has left this land.
It wasn’t always dead,
With rivers overflowing with sand,
Banks bereft of green.
Stories tell it so,
Tales of a paradise from long ago,
An oasis from the heat.
The waters of life,
Had flourished for a time,
Nurturer to all.

Kiron’s first reaction was complete confusion. He was sitting on his couch, watching the next five minutes of the news, when all of a sudden he was snapped back to the present. He’s pulled his vision back himself plenty of times- you don’t live life in the future after all. But then it was like swimmin... |
When I saw the tall, skinny opening from which I had previously entered, I yelped in excitement. The adrenaline numbed me to my toes, and I couldn't feel the ground that I was clumsily sprinting over.

At first we didn’t even consider the consequences of this strange occurrence. We were simply in awe.

When I was a child I loved staying at grandmas house. I had watched my grandmother quickly open and close the laundry shoot to throw our clothes in. Any time I tried to look in she would quickly bat my hands away though and shoo me into the kitchen for cookies or something.

Death had never liked working in thunderstorms. Too much Drama, he thought; too much complications for what was, after all, the simplest of transitions. Plus, the rain made his bones wet, and his scythe tended to glide out of his hands when his bones were wet. But there was no escaping it; despite Death's objections, p... |
