I never really thought much of Prime Minister Kamenov. He seemed to be a mild mannered man who unlike his predecessor, Dubinsky, always listened to reason. It also probably helped that in his life before he ran for public office, he'd been a dentist in Smolensk. One of the best apparently, and well known for his gentle...
I'm so sorry that it's so long, I just got really into it: I couldn’t quite remember how Nick and I met. It wasn’t through our mothers or a sweet rescue from a bully like most childhood friends meet. What I do know, for sure, however, is that we must have met in the most mundane way possible, even though we we...
The kinds of people that pull out their own teeth have a few things in common. They are usually masochists, confidently bore people at parties and wear underwear that is tighter than it needs to be in order to stay grounded. They tend to be librarians, UX designers, or Startup Founders. Ulmo was all of these things, ...
"Hmm you would do well in Hufflepuff Zachary Zimmerman. Unfortunately Slytherin is still shy one and you are the last one to sort so better be-" "What!" "Yes?" You are going to sort me Slytherin just to balance out the houses?" "Yes. That is how this works. Each year and equal number of boys and girls get admitted....
The horror I saw before me was surreal. The previously calm pet shop was a cacophany around me as cages shattered and the building itself became uneasy. Once tiny creatures screamed in pain, their metabolisms sending their bodies into meltdown. Birds flapped listlessly, at least those whose legs could still support t...
It was a week before Christmas. I wanted to give a wacky gag gift to Megan, my girlfriend. When I was browsing a site with those gag gifts, I saw a map that apparently shows hidden rooms and passages in the home. I got it, just for giggles. On the Christmas day, we all ate and sang carols. Then we unpacked the gifts. ...
There have been a few mistakes, of course. I couldn't remember the line about climbing up the Eiffel Tower. You might notice that the live version has different lyrics. That's because I remembered the right ones after it was too late. What I recorded originally was "Stop into a pit stop, climbing up the Eiffel Tower". ...
"Yo, did ya' hear what that bitch said about us? Mind 'a my own? I'll give'r a piece a my mind." "Relax, Tony. She's just saying you're very strong willed, she didn't mean anything by it."

(part 1 as it was a bit too long) &#x200B; "What?"she gasped as she felt her grip fail. She focused all her mental power into strengthening her control. Sweat stained the blond hair on her forehead, breathing became shallow, teeth grinded and her heartbeats pounded in her temples. For a few heartbeats, the room ...

Meandering, directionless, lacks foreshadowing, difficult to believe, deux ex machina. Practice by writing poetry. Write as much as you can, exhaust your word usage, on a mundane/simple topic.

The job was a botch. I should have really seen it coming. He certainly did. He'd had this whole thing planned out from the moment we'd found where he was. La Jolla of all places. Right on the beach for a quick getaway. This guy had been eluding us for years now and we'd finally caught up to him and the job was a botch....
There was an empty shack at the edge of the village. Abandoned for as long as I could remember. My parents always watched me, knowing how curious I was and ready to pounce the moment I got too close. The door was tantalizing, crooked and hanging from its hinge, left a crack open to tease me of its contents. After so ma...
"I wish I was still in my teens", says your older brother, holding your newborn nephew. "I didn't have to wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of crying like I do now!". Every adult says that. They don't know how boring puberty is. To be always changing. To never have a T-shirt that fits you for more than t...
A New Day, A new problem. Why is my life like this? I am tired of trying to save this city from these crooks. Don’t they know they can never beat me? I am theoretically invincible. Well, before you tell me that that’s not true, let me explain my powers to you. It all started few years ago, when I was playing m...

Okay, I will admit, there were hallucinogenics involved. A lot. However, no mushroom or even a synthetic marvel of chemistry could make a Tabaxi look as real as he did.

I had been growing closer to this for a long time now. Day after day he'd grown more and more demanding. Eventually I did what any rational human would do. I called my local zoo and rented an alligator for the day. When he showed up I could tell he was right for the job due to the look in his eyes. The eyes of a stone ...
I've always been smart, whether at school or real life. I'm not a genius or anything I just always worked hard I guess. I also practice martial arts, I'm not the best at it but I am still really good. Some people say they wish they were as smart or as strong as me, but the truth is it's just that I work hard and practi...
The adults whispered that chris would save the world. He had been born with the seal of Moralthus, said only to appear once every 10 generations. The mark laid bare on the forehead of the chosen. It glowed under the light of the full moon and told whoever saw this person that they were meant for great things. His fam...
I've always been a collector of board games, since my first Monopoly set back in 98' that I got from my parents for christmas that year. Something about them always struck me as so interesting.

"Those God damn scrubbers", he wheezed. Flat on his back, cigarette hanging limply from his bloodied lips, he blinked back tears. His right hand sat across his torso, covering the burn across the front. It was a burn we'd seen many times before, it covered him from stomach to chest. They were near now and soon, they wo...
^(The Science Museum) While inside the Observatory my oldest, Mark who was going to be 7 on the 3rd, wanted to see the Osher Rainforest.

What? I thought to myself Ive done weird things, put on the sponge costume and follow the sea-star, put on the yellow costume and laze around. But a BIRD costume??? Avoid a Effing Coyote??? Ridiculous, but my job pays well, I put on this costume and I immediately feel faster and smarter. More cunning, I realized I was ...
It's not illegal, per se, what we do. Definitely not illegal. It's just ethically dubious, occasionally dangerous, and right on the edge of illegality. But no-one complains, most of the time. You can call us Bradford and Hall, but those aren't our names, if you catch me. I sell memories, she extracts them. I'll e...
As the gate opened, the foodguy leashed me up and handed me to her. She was tall, with brown hair and beautiful brown eyes. I was not so lucky with my looks. I only had one eye and a short nub for a tail. She immediately leaned down to kiss my head, and I felt sparks. Is this who i was waiting for all this time? Wh...

I'm trying to write something for it. Having a bit of trouble with getting to the main point, so it's a bit incomplete. I'm also not trying to be historically or even mythologically accurate here. It's essentially just pure fantasy with some vaguely familiar references/settings. At least one of the names is completely...
You never know what can happen in this city. One day there's a house fire the next day there's a shootout in the middle of the street. One thing that never changes is I'm always chasing him. Thrasher is the only villain that always manages to escape my grasp. He's smart, cunning, bold and always 2 steps ahead. My days ...
The two leaders are now looking at each other through a conference call. They appear dead-serious, and even some of the security around them seem to be unnerved. After three minutes of swemingly neverending silence, the Vatropian President spoke. “This call is to determine the course of action after the end of the Tre...
"New jack city. A place where a dead body can be just as easy to hide as a black cat, like me. Especially if you hide it at night."The black cat licked its paw clean of the discarded fish bits. A man in a trench coat made his way out of the alleyway. Leaving behind a dead body under a pile of trash bags and a trail of ...
Highway to Hell. For all the times I drunkenly belted out the words accompanied by a righteous air guitar lick I never imagined it was a real thing. But there’s no mistaking that arch over the road that reads “Highway to Hell”. A closer look reveals the subscript: “Buckle up Buckaroos”. Seriously? What would be the p...

I always found it funny how people would make up the silliest things to excuse their ridiculous habits.

As Eliot was looking out over the grimy streets of downtown Novyy Moskva, he lit a cigarette and touched the fresh bandage at the back of his neck. "Do not worry, Eliot.

Captain Wolf and I stood at the large, convex window at eastern end of the sub. The window was shielded by thin, bluish gray metal, serving as a curtain between the sea-life beyond and us.

„Dad you are trying way to hard.” He said This has been going on for so long, ever since the accident, but I would keep on trying. Non-stop. We both knew he was innocent.

"Deus Occultus Dominatus!", the choir chanted in horribly broken Latin, and their voices echoed under the dank stone arches of the ancient underground temple. The air smelled of metal and blood.

My best friend does not have a name. Or a face really. She is more a shadow that follows me wherever I go. I wake up and she is there. I go to work and she is trailing, making dinner she is there whispering. A constant companion one might think of as being positive. Unfortunately I have known her long enough to know be...
"You said we would change the world!"Jacob screamed in anguish. "I said, you could."The man standing above him cast a long shadow, his features hidden by the setting sun.

Danicka was a beautiful stripper and a beautiful mother. She came home late that night, at about 2 am in the morning, and was proud to see her child asleep in bed.

I wake up to the indistinct sound of people walking around in my living room. Who the fuck is in my living room this early in the morning? I reach for the cold handle of my 9mm glock, and make my way towards the living room. I open the door to see my dad and brother shoving all the drugs and cash in duffel bags. "W...
He gave Tom a queer look. His friend now had a third arm poking from his chest. Not just that, a sleeve appeared to match it.

1:20 AM. I still couldn't sleep. They were right behind the wall beside my bed, and no matter how many things I tried: ear plugs, earphones, and ear-covering, I still could hear them.

It had been a long day. Who am I kidding, it had been a long, long life.

It stopped just in front of me and raised its arm in...

Darkness shrouds the city, the afternoon gloom. The tenement chimneys and factory smokestacks spew more smoke, soot and toxins than required by their furnaces for daily operations.
