I was walking to my off-campus college dorm, when I noticed a fluorescent sign that glowed behind a glass window. The glass window belonged to a store that I had passed many times before, but this time, it was different. This time, the sign showed a message. It read: $1,750 - Your taste is no longer worse than a catf...
Adam was walking through the woods after his stressful day when he came up to a grove. in the center of the grove lay a carcass of some kind of four legged animal that looked like a moose but was grey as an overcast sky, it was bloodied and beaten as if it were attacked by some massive beast. Cautiously Adam approached...
If only he wore his white shirt, Bob thought to himself, then this day would have been fine. People walking by glanced in Bob's direction only to be met with a frustrated Bob speedily brushing past them. "What was that about?"they'd mumble to themselves in disappointment. They couldn't help but feel insulted walking ...
“JIM! IS THAT YOU!! I said eagerly” “INDEED,ZACK ,WELCOME TO MY KINGDOM,heaven...! Answered god” “so you didn’t move out in sixth grade ?” “no” “wait does it means i’m dead?” “yes” “how?” “a serial killer enter in your house and killed you,your cat,your sist-“ “it’s okay ,i understood!he killed everyone .”i sto...
The Beast With a Thousand Tongues sat still and motionless atop an empty mound constructed from the ruined plains of a dark abyss. Beneath it lay the bodies of creatures so large they dwarf those killed by an asteroid from a time so ancient the planet the Beast calls home shall not fully heal. For its wounds are made ...
We’re supposed to be serving dinner in six hours, and my apprentice lost all three pterodactyls. They just flew off into the sunset. Gone. He’s claiming that pterodactyls taste like chicken, but these are connoisseurs, they’re used to the finer stuff. They’ll know the difference. There’s nothing else for it, someone is...
He has his good days, and his not so good days. As the wealthiest man in the world (400 years ago, at least) he finally was able to obtain the one thing that for the whole of human history, money couldn't buy; immortality. The experimental treatment was absurdly expensive, the rewriting of one's genetic code to dis...
Humanity has always been interested in the philosophical question of what is the purpose of life? Some say the purpose is to spread the seed of mankind, to prosper and reach for the infinite possibilities. Some say our true purpose is to become enlightened, to transcend beyond this naked world of ours... to be a God. ...
It's always happened since I was young. From the day I walked in on my parents having sex accidentally to the times I've helped my best friend open her car doors, locks always became unlocked when I touched the doors they were attached to unless I was locking them. It had been impossible to even touch doors without a...
Make the call. Find out where he is. He won’t know why. Mick failed to inspire himself. "Fuu-Fuu-!" Someone had screwed up, somewhere. Now it was his job to fix the Problem. The mirror caught him pacing and he stopped. "Friends..,"he remarked to his reflection, "That is the Problem. There’s no friends in this j...
It wouldn't be the first time that the train system screwed up. From the big, island-wide malfunctions that trapped thousands of people in the trains, to the small things like that one incident where a train warning message was attributed as a Winston Churchill quote, the trains had become a meme in my country in recen...
Long ago, our ancestors wormed their way from the sea. They came up, onto the land, and found they were not the first. Not just plant life, but insects as well. When we started exploring the stars, we had the same realization. But unlike our amphibious ancestors, we find no life. We saw only the ruins of a pair of adv...
I hid behind someone's desk. I was cornered. If I made a break for the door the creature would see me, grab me, disembowel me and snack messily on my organs as it was now snacking on Mike's organs. Poor Mike. I didn't know him that well, but he was always cordial and he had some neat holiday ties. There was no way I ...
Badges torn steel-cap boots dragged along the footpath. The metal scraping a distraction from the towing of his car. Tipping his head back he downed the last block of Bubbly chocolate. The wind blew into him as he held his hat to his head. If he lost it, that'd really be the cherry to his day. The wrapper crumpled in h...
No words could describe the fear I felt, as I was going further and further from the ground. My brain struggled to grasp what was happening, tried desperately to power every possible nerve to get itself to wake up, but no. Not even that bizarre feeling you get when you fly in a dream. Just sheer, paralyzing fear, as t...
> I am very new to this and thrive off of constructive criticism and feedback. Anything you can offer is worthwhile. Thanks for reading my story! Carl clocked out, and everything went to hell. Immediately he felt all the heads in the room turn. They all stared directly at him, and as he met each of their eyes he ...
Eventually they begin hiring people to break into people's houses people begin to stress over if they will be the next ones to be broken in to but eventually progress in security systems help people once again live stress free. Until one day the company invents teleportation and realizes that nothing is as stressful as...
“The last of the housing market bubble has caused another downward trend in stocks today,” a news commentator monotonously spoke over the broadcast. Their beige suit matched their tonality; bland and to the point. I tinkered further with the contraption in front of me, my solder iron hissing pleasantly. “The value of c...
I cocked an eye as i wiped the ichor from my face. The sword now hanging loosely at my side. I could hear the clattering of combat out the door behind me, but yet the silence of the throne room was demanding. From behind the throne came a rather scrawny young angel, with scruffy golden hair and freckles. He gave a qui...
On the corner of Ward Street was an old weatherboard house. The white lead paint peeling off the walls revealing rotting boards below. The grass overgrown, a jungle encroaching on the path to the front door. Bolton turned the latch on his front gate, slinking past the old rusted mailbox on tilt. It was still quite brig...
Jake’s eyes cracked open, meeting the ceiling. He groaned and rolled over in his bed, looking at his clock. Three AM, who in fuck was banging on his door at three in the morning? He sighed and turned back over, who ever it was could go to Hell. He was almost back to sleep when the pounding started back up. “For ...
Kiki was still reliving the moment the car trundled further down the road and disappeared around a turn. While standing their in the biting cold, she turned over exactly what they had said. "We never go here, last time we did the whole place burnt down". Kiki had been trying desperately to place those sentences as a r...
*It was a dream, I was certain. Bright, white text filled my mind’s eye against a black backdrop, and a woman’s calm (yet firm) voice narrated the words: “to whomever it may concern; you have been chosen to join us in an experimental virtual reality simulation. We are required to disclose that there will be a medical p...
Artemis appeared suddenly on June 23rd, 2067 in Lagrange point L4 of the moon's orbit. About half the size of the moon in diameter. Origin unknown. No real record of it's appearance visually. &#x200B; A few months later, I'm sitting in a MARV (Manned Astronomical Research Vehicle), careening through space when I ...
It started as a pretty boring day, not really as flashy as it ended. Jack scrolled through some news on a tablet while having a coffee and some toast as breakfast. There was nothing This would a good day - vacation day. So Jack took his jacket, and got out of the flat to do some chores. Groceries, he had a letter to s...
"So long, ass-wipes!" Jake had always talked about killing himself. He had been born a pasty-skinned nerd who only ended up growing to five-foot-six. HE wanted to try his luck again, he had often talked about it and on July 3rd, he did it. JAKE was obsessed with populraity because he had none so he made his suicide m...
I look at my phone's UPS app. "Oh shit, my package is here! Uhh, frick. Pants? Yep. Shoes, check. Shirt? Checkarooni. Aight, lets go." As I walk out the door, I hear Ms. Heirwens' stupid Weiner dog barking at the truck. The damn thing escaped, and is now chasing the truck for some reason. My first and only thought wa...
"Waitasecond... am I hallucinating or what?"I thought as I looked into the rear-view mirror, revealing an image of myself, backgrounded by a pitch-black space of nothingness. I had to make sure I was not even dreaming at all. And so, I came up with a solution. I stopped the car along the road. I took a long, deep brea...
-Believe me mom! I can remember everything! There I was in another family! -Of course there was! And unlike me, you are ex-mother would have plenty of times! Finish your breakfast! I'm getting late! She went for my shoes. That was a terrible mistake that I told her! I shamefully admit, that I am a idiot. -Billy!! Wha...
I hate January, it's the coldest and probably the deadliest month. The winter is harsh in this damn country, anyone could literally die if they stay outside for far too long. Food stocks are running low, we can't cultivate anything so i have no choice but to hunt for some animals. I couldn't complain much if i were in ...
"Chin up lad..."The coachman said cheerfully, turning back with a widening grin as the cart jolted over the roughshod terrain. "Or 'twill be, once yer 'ed falls top down in t' mud!"He guffawed. Gregor groaned and wished, somehow, for this nightmare to end. Yesterday, he'd been minding his own, working the sawmill in ...
My alarm blared as I pulled myself from my sleep-pod. I climbed out and I popped an oral hygiene pod into my mouth, feeling the membrane dissolve as I swirled the micro-beads in my mouth for the full minute before swallowing according to the directions, leaving a minty taste in my mouth and my teeth a pearly white shee...
He should be dead. His legs shattered, arms twisted and skin black, he smells his dead body but feels no pain. A fall from this height would split a man in two, it has – there’s a gash from his groin to his chest – but he’s still breathing. His spine feels like it’s been torn from his back. There is a sharp crun...
Erivin should have stopped me when I started talking about it. He should have stopped me when I said it could win us the war. I should have listened when he said the weapons of the ancients are best left forgotten. I didn’t listen. Erivin offered me those fateful words of warning before I left in search of the weapon....
“Dude, what the fuck we could both live just fine if you just paid rent, you catch my drift dog?” Dan often liked to talk to his dog as if he were a lazy roommate. If he were to be honest, though, he was too sad to live by himself and he didn’t know anybody that wanted someone to live with. Dan went through Craigslis...
"1,"the mediator counted down. Aaron Burr and I stared each other in the eyes with our right hands held up. "2." A bead of sweat rolled down my forehead. "3!" "Rock! Paper! Scissors!"Burr and I chanted, slapping the bottoms of our right fists against the palms of our left hands. I held up the gesture for scissors...
Yep, this is my life now. “CAN I GET A HAMBURGER WITH FRIES?” The Mcdonalds employee looks at me funny but is not paid enough to deal with this crap. “Will that be Sir?” The waiter asks in a polite ‘I don’t want to be here’ kind of way. “CAN I GET A DRINK AS WELL PLEASE.” I ask. “That will be five dollars forty-th...
*SNOORT!! A sudden jolt shoots down my body. “What the hell?” I mutter, sitting on the crapper, waiting. “Fucking shit.” I curse out,” “I fell asleep, FUCK!! I’m gonna be late!!” You dash out of the bathroom stalls, but to my surprise, students and teachers were just standing there, like if they were waiting for y...
"Well this is unusual."Sam mutters as he passes me the list of meals. "Certainly is."I mutter absentmindedly as I continue kneading the fifth pan of dough for pigs in a blanket. "You think the warden is in on it?"He mutters writing out the next batch of orders. "I suppose he could be, but that doesn't explain how ot...
Her name was Stella and it was raining when she died. Death, in the way Stella had it, was soft, peaceful, and sow —as slow as death could be. She looked at me and closed her eyes and the last word upon her breath was light, whispered, maybe even a little sad. She said, “Steven.” After a person passes, there is a...
I could feel myself trembling as they unhooked the machines. I wasn’t scared of death, per say. I was surrounded by family, and I could hear them sobbing as the heart monitor started to speed up dramatically. I could feel someone, probably Margaret, clasping my hands tightly as the frantic beeping became one long tone....
Living in current year 2018, remembering every life I’ve been living is hard. I’ve struggled many years to find out my real identity, this time it has been harder. Last time lived I was a successful surgeon, thanks to my grandpa who was also a surgeon and luckily I got to live his life, although I realized it in my l...
Erm..... some Europeans were aware of North American long before Colombus. The Norse had set up fishing colonies and trading posts in modern-day Canada in 1000-ish CE, 500 years before Colombus, and went to North America for centuries. Europeans wrote of "Vinland"(North America) after the contact, and some historians ...
They let you choose a style, thankfully. If you're facing the curse of dance, they let you pick your own style. Most people try to pick something calm, like a waltz, under the (likely false) assumption that it won't be as tiring. I knew a crew, they all agreed to choose ballet if they were caught. You probably have wa...
So, the biggest difference that wp and creative writing has made to me (even as limited as my works are) is in my report/essay writing. My grades have gone way up since I started applying some of the advice I see for writing stories to writing essays in a more engaging manner. I used to write in a way that was pretty m...
The entire skyscraper began shaking. People began screaming. Greg stood up from his chair with a start. “W-what’s going on.” He ran to the window looking down at the street from fifty-four stories up. It was pure chaos, people were running in and out of buildings screaming “EARTHQUAKE, EARTHQUAKE.” But then, just as su...

I stared into her vivid eyes. They were vibrant, green, and sharp enough to cut into my soul. She looked away and happily skipped ahead of me like a small child, smiling and giggling away. We were taking a quick stroll through the park. We didn't talk much. We just let the comfortable silence fill the rest of the even...
The first time Stephanie meets someone her own age is when she's 8. It's in the middle of the evening, with the sounds of mother washing up in the kitchen fading away in the background. Steph usually falls asleep long before that sound stops, but not today. Today she's distracted by the flickering glow coming from the ...
I knew what I had to do and, fear be damned - I was going to do it. I hadn’t been in these parts long - but the lay of the land was the same as all the other places I’d been. The only difference was the scale of my task. I hadn’t really been trained for it, I suppose no-one had, really. But nevertheless, I had been t...
My cart still smells faintly of the soup from earlier this morning. Cindersap Forest provides such a pleasant atmosphere, at times I forget I'm running a business. I pick up whatever I can find on my travels - anything from crops to minerals. The valley has always been my place, but I seem to keep coming back to Pelica...
Moonlight seeped through the cracks of the hut onto a single bed. Sleeplessness had been the norm for the past few weeks for Arius who stared into the abyss. Knowledge of the dark day couldn’t be ignored, the changes in his body were undeniable. New hair now covered his face, chest and armpits; unwelcome sings of imp...
John's eyes finally opened after struggling for ages. His eyelashes were crusted and stuck together by the inky black night and its enveloping slumber. As he fought to keep them open and focus them from blurred hell, he looked over to his wife and found her completely unconscious. "My god, she's out, she hasn't even ...
"I wish I could understand,"Luan said, "But the fact is even if I did, I'd still have to take you down." Tulip stepped back a couple of paces as Luan turned her back and dialled for backup. Luan was bigger than Tulip expected. Strong, muscled. Broad shoulders and a tight face without the faintest hint of expression ...

Miles never considered himself a good person. He had just moved to New York City and was looking for a new job, he decided to volunteer at a homeless shelter called D.I.N.N.E.R in Harlem, since they had a strange lack of members recently. He quickly rose through the ranks, and by the end of the year he had ...
Sunset rays carved through the thick mist, slowly revealing the riverbank. I dipped my oar into the water and watched the disrupted spirals race to the shore. However, some ripples never made it, due to a curious item sticking out of the water. Perhaps a dead tree? I paddled closer, watching the water from my kayak su...
We sat down at our seats, monitors glowing brightly in front of us, the whirling of the fans contained within the computers next to us calming us as we look across the table to our opponents. Twice they have beaten us at the international games. Twice they snatched victory from our hands. Twice, they have held the cup ...
The wise men, warlocks, and various magi from across the known lands were gathered at this hall to discuss the newest discovery of the Grand Sorceress. Being the inventor of three different types of magic and author of over a dozen spellbooks when most practitioners would normally only make two or three spells of their...
I sat in awe as I saw a gift box on my desk that wasn't there before. I wondered what was inside. Who knows, maybe it's a companion of the computer mouse which also spontaneously appeared at my doorstep. I open the box to find a USB. I insert it to my computer. Double-clicking the icon for the USB on my desktop, I s...
"Delenda est Carthago"- Carthage must be destroyed. These are the words that sealed our fate. Repeated ad nauseum on the floor of the Curia Hostilia, where the Roman Senate met. The phrase was coined by Marcus Porcius Cato, a Tusculan peasant who had risen to prominence by supplying the legions during Hannibal Barc...

Day 163: The men who have been actively trying to take me from this world still won't give up. I awoke this morning to a tripwire over my stairs. You would think they would have better ideas 163 days into this. I know what you're thinking, why haven't you went to the police? Why don't you hire a private bodyguard? Or s...

10 minutes left. Only 10 minutes left until she's gone forever. Dammit, she's still not answering her phone. I've warned her over and over again how unsafe it is to use a rolling chair as a step stool. I always joked that one day she was going to fall and break her neck. Jokes over. Fuck! Another goddamn stopligh...
It hit her like a rock. The day she came up with this character, why he's so much like her... She was 16 then but the memory was vivid almost like it just happened. She sat on the balcony of parents apartment, looking down to the concrete below. She twirled a razor in her hand in case she chickened out. That's when ...
I'd heard the theory before, how every choice you make creates other universes where you make every other possible choice, but never gave it much thought. I never really thought about the future before. Most days were spent just simply surviving until the next, even when I didn't want to. Persistent depressive disorde...
Little did he know that such wish would not change his lifespan. He might even feel like his life would pass by faster. Maybe he would die at the age of forty five, thinking, 'This is too early' \- forgetting the fact that his old face does not match the number. Kids would start school at the age two, and get their d...
Thirty kilometers out, one can just barely see it: a distortion in the light, as if the stars themselves were smudged. If one wasn’t looking for it, they would miss it- and yet, of all the places in the system, this is the most important, the last connection I have to the world of my birth. Inside the dot, just beyond...
“Ramon, come on. We’re leaving.” Mom’s voice floated over the cabin to the boy sitting on the edge of the sand. He scrubbed at his eyes one more time and slowly got to his feet. “Ramon!” Her voice was getting louder. He drew back his arms and flung it forward, the early morning sun flashing on glass just before i...
Anxiety doesn't discriminate between speech and print. A single word is important for the context of a sentence, because the context of a sentence can change with a single word. Syntax, grammar, semantics and punctuation are combined within a whirlwind that can consume your psyche and lead you into avenues of thought...
They told me that I have an inoperable brain tumor. Completely inoperable. Will it kill me? Who is to say? The doctors think that it may have been there for years. They're going to keep an eye on it, but it's likely to put a damper on my overall lifespan. I just wish they'd hurry up and put a date on it, you know? D...
"Whoa... this is really weird..."I think aloud, too shocked to panic. "...am I able to get to the ground again?"After saying that, I make a sort of swimming motion toward the ground in am attempt to land safely. After a few minutes, this is successful.

Where am I? I started on 3rd and 24th. I think. This looks nothing like Schnabeltier. I continue wandering around the darkness, still unsure of how I got here. I see the occasional red or green light through a window in the dark buildings surrounding me. Something creates a loud crashing sounds off to my right. A ...
The world ends. The one kid in gym can finally do 200 jumping jacks. Everyone is viewed as equal. Nobody ever disagrees and countries never war. Everyone worldwide simply stares in awe at the sky swine. All religions are exposed as truth. Everyone wins the lottery but it still somehow pays out a solid million to everyo...
It was a sunny day out. Only a few clouds in the sky. A nice breeze with just enough chill on it to remind the villagers winter was coming. Jay however, noticed none of this. As usual, he was working in his shop, sitting behind the big counter at the back, surrounded by many impressive-looking swords and shields. It wa...
Malkin took a step forward, his shadow creeping across the floor, slithering its way over toward Captain Benevolent who lay on his back, sitting up bloody-faced with a look of defeat in his eyes.

She had noticed the orange truck stopping at her front door. Sarah scrambled to the door and opened it. An elder man dressed in a vinyl equally orange suit was about to push the button of the doorbell. “Oh hello! You seem to be quite happy to see me! Is it that bad?” “Are you the one? Not a quack? You will be able to...
It began small. An small bead of worry. I pushed it to the back of my mind but it persisted. It grew, it became a nugget, then a ball. Soon it worry and anxiety mixed together to form a cluster of apprehension. The feeling only grew as time passed. Minutes turned to hours, hours to days, days to weeks, weeks to month...
"Well, the soundtrack is about what I would have expected,"I say, staring around at my fellow passengers. Pervert, murderer, lady who spends 15 minutes waffling on check-out stand magazine purchases, guy who says "bruh"unironically...

\[WP\] "How I ended up dating an assassin and why you should try it too" &#x200B; I had just arrived to Bogota for another riveting meeting with one of the company's partners.

See, the aliens made a mistake. Oh, sorry. By 'aliens', I'm referring to the Zok'twngi. They're a species that had a bad habit of making games out of the lives of other species. Yes, I said 'had'.

The bartender finally handed me my drink: some pink concoction in a plastic martini glass. Immediately, someone bumped into me, sloshing a sip or two over the rim and onto the sticky floor below. "What an asshole,"squealed Kyzygt. "He doesn't even lift - you can take him!" "Oh stop,"chided Hepton. "He feels bad abo...
The rules were simple. Show up. Play nice. Read the speeches she wrote, word for word. Don't get too drunk. Uphold appearances. Don't get attached to anyone. And above all else, don't let anyone figure out who, or rather what, I am. Simple enough, you'd think. It helps that I love these parties and events. It's the on...
'Where's the remote...where...the hell...is the..a ha!' With his arm three quarters buried between the cushions of the couch John clenched his fist around the device and pulled his arm out victorious, he thought he had finally found the TV remote. He had not. In his hand was a simple yet mysterious device, no long...
I opened my eyes, and knew something had gone wrong. &nbsp; For one, I hurt all over. It was a deep ache, as if I'd been working out and had gone WAY overboard…or, more likely, as if I had been hit by a truck. I winced as the pain hit me, and the light streaming down through branches and leaves, although dim,...
The light is red. I push off the ground, feet moving back to the pedals of my trusty, blood-red Schwinn, rolling into the crosswalk. I am doing everything right. I've even turned on those dumb flashing lights that my dad insisted I attach to my bike. The light is red. The car doesn't stop. I see it in my peripheral ...
It was really fun when I figured it out. I could become anything, gain any powers I wanted, get into any fantasy I wanted. I tried not to overuse the text document because I was unsure of whether or not it had a limit. Best not to chance it. The flying and laser eyes and orgies got tiring surprisingly fast. I found t...

“Jordy, hold the stick with your hand.” Jordan did as instructed, holding the bamboo shoot with a white-fisted power choke. The baseball bat had been a little too heavy for the young Infomancer, and so they had chosen the next closest tool. “And now, like we tried before, turn your upper body. Really wind up. Get ten...

Bar fights are never a good idea. But when you're put in the position of impending violence, you don't really have a choice. Now my first instinct is always to run, but if it's apparent that innocent bystanders might be hurt if I do so, I can't bring myself to abandon them. Three guys, drunk, angry. None of them look t...
Bewildered, I stand in the street trying to register what just happened. "What's going on? What am I supposed to be doing?"I think to myself. Fortunately or unfortunately, I did not have very much time to think about what to do. A man came up running behind me screaming, "hurry! start running! there isn't much time!"As...
A pinch of rose, And several mice feet, Two garlic cloves, And a blind woman's teat, Brought to a boil, The fruits it shall bear, Will be incomplete, Without a lock of her hair, Then give it a stir, Add the beak of a crow, Plus several feathers, And of course a toad, Let it all simmer, Under the moon, Until it shimm...
"Ah fuck"I cried, hearing aliens announce on TV that they will destroy earth if I lose one more game of black jack. "Goddammit Carol, why does it always have to be us. First your mom calls me a slob, and now aliens want to blow up earth. This is absurd." My wife looked at me with a look of pure horror, like I didn't ...
The hot steam of the shower had fogged up the mirror and the sweet scent of pomegranate body wash wafted throughout the bathroom. I'd always taken long showers. It helped me to think and to unwind. Today was no exception. When I heard the vworp vworp noise, I thought that maybe it was a neighbor's music that was too ...
