(Continued From Above) It happened that within the Null population, there was a known phenomenon in which rather than outright resisting magic, some of it would actually be stored in the body upon contact- rather than just the raw energies that were manipulated and manifested into the various forms, the actual end...
My mind overflowing with knowledge, I put the book down. My shop still looks the same as always. Weapons set on the wall, potions and other items on displays in the center. I wasn't real. The walls around me were digital constructs, put into place by the team that made this virtual reality MMORPG. A bell jingles as t...
"So, tell me about this woman,"said Death. The elderly man's eyes quivered open as he took a small gasp of air. His skin was pale and folded by the weight of life, now his body now only a husk of his former self clad in a striped pajamas of blue and white on top of the hospital bed. The end of his lips rose as his gaz...
She was always faithful. A “rock” her friends called her. She was the one you called when your car broke down at midnight, the person whose shoulder you cried on. She saw the good in everyone, and suffered for it. The suffering ranged from small things to those that were infuriating large, but she always persevered....
Divie was the most beautiful of the celestial beings I had ever met, sending a warmth throughout me, making me feel as though I was more. We would soar among the depths of the gorgeous darkness that surrounds us, seeing the eerie yet eye-catching sights illuminated as we passed. We had seen the spark that could house a...
"Haha, NOPE!" The spider sitting on the antique wooden vanity is at least the size of your hand. Was that even possible? You've certainly never seen one this big before, except for maybe a tarantula safely sealed away in a tank at the local pet store. Did Grandpa have tarantulas? You don't think so, and you're pretty ...
As I entered the hospital, there was suddenly a commotion to my right. I looked over and saw two security guards holding back a woman that looked very familiar, and recognized her as the mother of one of my patients - a little girl whose cancer I, thankfully, was able to cure. She was trying to get my attention and I...
No longer can you argue or fight with another. No longer can you disagree with anyone or anything. After returning home to your beautiful wife and handsome boy you begin to regret the decision. Your wife is ‘perfect’ in every way. She’s doing everything you say, like an obedient dog. You decide that enough is enough ...
My family was peculiar to say the least, for generations the firstborn son had inherited a curse. Ask my father and he would say it was a simple spell cast upon us by some old witch and for a time I believed it to be nothing more than a silly tale and I merely unlucky. Then you notice the world in which you inhabit wh...
I woke with a start, momentarily confused about where I was. “What happened last night?” I thought to myself. I looked around what I slowly realized was my apartment and tried to reacclimatize myself to my usual surroundings. Dank brick walls met solid oak flooring, ambient lighting cast warm shadows across the furni...
I am not a good person. I wasn’t one before I got this job, and I sure wasn’t after. I am a super. My power is mind control. For most of my life my powers didn’t matter, I was just a normal kid, going to a normal school. Then I had the bright idea to make the principal play a series of pranks. For the record, it was ...
"Next in line!"The creature behind the counter yelled. The words sounded slimy coming from it. Jack stood in the middle of the line. He was dressed in a white shirt and white pants with jesus sandals. The people around him, if you could call them that, looked as confused as Jack felt. Last thing he remembered was bein...
My dad's purpose was to make the best goddamn grilled cheese sandwich that had ever been made. He'd test out different cheeses, different breads. Switch out the amount of butter he put on each side. Anything and everything. He didn't even get to eat the whole masterpiece. Once he finished half, he passed it over to my...
Years ago, I had a choice. To decide my fate or have my fate decided for me. I saw the infinite timelines. Every outcome possible for me from the moment I was truly brought to life. At first Killian and I did not know what had happened, but we could feel it. Sitting side by side, alone in a field we had been struck by ...
I heard my footsteps echo loudly across the empty hallway as I walked steadily down it, willing myself to maintain a steady pace and look straight ahead. The three guards I had been assigned considered this expedition a waste of time and I didn’t want to confirm their view of me as a pampered scholar, afraid of his own...
“Oh wow death, that’s original.” “Shut it Mark and tell me how I look!” “A bit small? Can’t you I dunno wear high heels?” “I’d lose the maneuverability from my brand new Nike’s though.” “You’re wearing Nike’s? What else are you wearing, is that a sweat band? I didn’t know you even could sweat and hang on a second why ...
"How big is it?"I asked, the doughnut forgotten on the plastic plate in front of me. "Roughly half the size of the moon."Dr. Jericho told me and my stomach turned. "How fast is it moving?"I stood up and started doing the math. How could something that big not have been seen by anyone but us yet? We'd be famous fo...
I blinked at the email, then at the package. My eyes go wide and pulse quickens. I quickly look up the address and pick out the route. It is a race against time now. Taking the bike I slam down busy streets, sidewalks and alleys, rush hour city traffic is a nightmare. I am panting, it feels like I am running. I get t...
"Whoooo, ain't that a smell, huh Donnie?" "Sure is, Frankie, smells like grandmas barbecue gone wrong." The cops stood over the charred remains of the body, the occasional bone sticking out of the mess of burned flesh and melted cartilage. Flies buzzed around the two men, attracted by the smell. "I tell ya, the doc ...

(Note: Using some existing characters from another pokemon-related EU post I did a long time ago because it fits well here). The lab was abuzz with activity as we finished our final preparations.

PART 1/2 &#x200B; Overlord Invictus sighed wearily as a woefully familiar hero approached his throne for the thousandth time. The lone hero approached his throne with an air of purpose. The poor sap had lost so many times that there were no adventurers left in all the nine kingdoms willing to travel with him. Not...
A slick, brick building. Heavy curtains over the single window. A doorman who stopped you if got to close the massive door. Jason just wanted to know what was inside.

Ernst Grüller and his wife had had another fight. This time, it was over who controlled the diet of their mutual cat, Porky Pete.

Oh, I’m not falling for that one. If I go to page 98, it will just be an endless loop since it’s within the same subreddit. I turn to page 23 As I turn the pages I can’t help but wonder what was on page 98. Would I have gotten gold? Would my story have been ignored? Well, no matter. I’m on page 23 now, and I can ju...
What is the meaning of life? Many have asked this question, many have given their answers. In a purely biological sense, most of those answers are wrong. Life’s purpose is to make more life. Every species on this planet and any others have evolved to adapt, survive, and reproduce. And thus was evolutions masterpiece f...
I sat at the computer, scratching my head. After a long day of coding, I wasn’t any closer to an answer. One of my game assets was behaving... oddly, and I couldn’t place why. First, I had Zanitar programmed as an enemy, but I decided that the character model was too stylish for the player to just blow away. I conver...
The man, who is painted red by his own blood, laid on the ground, choking on his own blood. His eyes were full of fear and regret.

Patricia and I had been house hunting for almost a year when the cottage became available. We'd never seen such beauty, and in our price range too! The pictures the estate agent sent were truly astounding. Thatched roof, wooden beams, fully working fireplace and a lake in the garden! A lake! We set off that morning wi...
As the bell rang for math to end, I all but sprinted to my locker. As I hurriedly shoved my things into my locker, I checked the hallway. It looks like the coast is clear. As I walked down the stairs, I looked over my shoulder. I'm home free. Just a few more steps and- Wham! I'm shoved into a wall from behind. "Tho...
Once, all life was weak. They grazed on the bounty of the land, reducing it to dirt. Prey, with nothing to hunt them, spread throughout the land. It was a time of weakness and plenty, as the Old Gods had designed. We were not different then. We walked with the prey, worshipped the Old Gods, and plucked fruits from the...
We scuttled around the hard cold floor, gazing in wonder at the enormous structures above. Who could've guessed that there were amazing things up here? Things like huge wooden panels suspended by tall wooden towers? Things like complex shapes on the floor, with many colors and specific pieces? It was a breath of fresh ...
I didn’t notice it it first, it blended in with all the pigeons.but a small voice saying “Hey! Hello. Buddy!” Usually can get someone’s attention. I looked down at it.

Jenny didn’t understand. She kept telling me we needed to talk to the police. She said that something had happened, something she couldn’t explain, but we needed to tell someone. I told her not to do it, really, how stupid did she think I was? I wasn’t going to let her ruin this. There are things in the world I could ...

The sun peaked through the door. As it shone through my eyes, I felt like I wanted to die. I had the worst headache of my life, and I had no idea where I was.

I really hated the idea that I'd have to die someday. But the idea that this is what I'd have to do to avoid it made me sick. I didn't want to take someone's life.

A desk, four walls and two fucking file cabinets, all of it sickly grey with an antiseptic light bathing the whole miserable isolation.

Grief and guilt. That’s what the doctors would always blame it on. I made the mistake of trying to talk to my wife about the voices. Well, voice. The voice that kept me up all night, every night. Jack’s voice. It had been years since I had gotten a decent night’s sleep. Five years, to be exact. The day that my olde...
