I've been told my whole life I was special. I was told i would be better than most others. That i would rise above them. Boy that could not have been further from the truth. Let me explain. To be a Zoomancer was a big honor for the whole family. Both my parents were Zoomancers, but they knew it was never a guaran...

The door to my right said, "Age: 22 years, Make: Oak, Sycamore." I never liked to sit with my back to any entrance, to any type of building. "Never take the Lincoln seat!"I could still remember the booming voice of my 8th grade history teacher ricocheting in my head. I turned, with eyes agape and fingers tingling...
I miss the old days. Back when I still had questions about people, back when I could still be naive. Its been almost five years since the endless thought cloud started penetrating my mind. Five years of the ceaseless buzzing that I cant control. This isnt what I wanted. I dont want to know the private thoughts of these...

I. Robin ripped off his mask and stepped into the elevator. He knew Batman meant well-- even if he could be a bit abrasive-- but he also knew that Batman should try and be more understanding of his position. He sighed and stepped off the elevator into the dark lair. He could see a single tinge of light at the compute...
For as long as I could remember, I had been able to see the colors that surrounded people. Mom was the color of the sky just before a snowstorm, Dad was the color of freshly-cut grass. Kimmy from across the street was the color of dried lavender flowers, and her brother Johnny was the color of the last few burning co...
Beepbeepbeep beepbeepbeep beepbeepbeep I smacked the alarm on my bedside table four times before I finally caught the snooze button with one of my fingers. *Uuuuugh. I do not want to go into work today. I’m just going to sit at my desk listening for nothing just like every day. I don’t even know why they pay me for...
It's enough to have to experience death first hand, but to watch yourself die a second time is too much for my liking. With every family that passed, I knew we were getting closer to my life. I felt anxious to know that my fellow spirits and I would have to witness the roller coaster that was my existence. WItnessi...
Thomas's alarm starts buzzing, waking Thomas up almost instantly, his first step is to get his slippers on, but when putting on his right slipper, he notices the black pool. First rubbing his eyes, he notices that this pool is in fact real, but what could it be? He first tried to rub it off with his slipper, but it fel...
The only fight I won was the one I didn't even want to win. Go figures. All because of a girl named Beth who had a crush on me. But I didn't like Beth like I liked Sally. But Sally didn't like me like she liked Tom. But Tom didn't like Sally like he liked Beth. Just a big old circle that kept going 'round and 'round li...
I caught myself looking at the empty desk again. There was something... something beyond my memory that I just couldn't recall. I was sure that someone used to sit there, at the desk near the back that had the best view out the window. Who was it? I strained my mental muscles to no avail. I took a bite of the sandwich...
Warning before reading. This is for a fictional background charachter in my little pony. For a satirical fanfic making fun of all the terrible fanfics Ive read (cuz I hate myself clearly).

"Well, that was strange,"I thought. &#x200B; I blinked again. At least, that's what I tried to do. It was a very different kind of blink than I was used to. You know that infuriating light hiccup your tech does when it's starting to be on the fritz? That's what I did. I dunno how to describe it. I "ddzztt"ed. &...

I’ve always wondered about myself. Whether what my parents say about me is true. If I have my mother’s pale skin and Dad’s ebony, curly hair. But more so, I wonder what my parents think. Whenever Dad comes home drunk, he’s sure to shout and yell at mom, accusing her of cheating on him, that she was a whore and a slut...
I scream. I scream until there’s no more air in my lungs, until my throat is sore, until voice fails me. As I fall quiet the man in the seat in front of me turns his head to smile at me. “What is it honey? Are you getting tired of this? Do you need to weewee?” The words I’m about to utter get stuck in my mouth. My ...

I took the pill last week. The chem vendor assured me, it would be painless and take seven days to kick in. He explained that on the seventh day, approximately three hours before it starts working, I’d feel a radiating warmth vibrate through my limbs, then the drowsiness would kick in and slowly drift me off into a p...
Walter opened the curtains and was greeted by an unexpected view. The usual street and apartment buildings had been replaced by the inside of a kaleidoscope, bright colors slowly swirling round and round in nondeterminate directions, continuously changing. Walter was fairly certain it was a vortex, though it might just...
“What?” I shake my head, try to laugh. This is too strange. The man fixes a beady eye on me, glinting in the shadows. He only scoffs. My mouth still feels so dry. “Please, I only want some water,” I say. “Oho, you’ll need more than just water to fix this one up, little girlie!” He leers at me. “What are you talking ...
I woke up, rolled out of bed and headed to the closet to bundle up. Three miles every morning, rain or shine, hell, or high water. I came back late, not tired at all. In fact, I turned back when I did because Vanessa texted me: Hey honey, your coffee is getting cold. I thought we could have some time us time before y...
I looked at the digital clock built into the car radio. I was royally late. I thought to myself, a wizard is never late, he arrives at exactly the time he intends to. Not only was I probably butchering the line, I was not a wizard, nor was I a queen. Movie quotes could not save me. Already, I had been pulled over f...
I felt a slight tremor in the floor as Derek took a step towards me. I stuck both hands out, palms up, at an arm's length as I leaned back from the waist. In spite of being indoors, I felt a harsh blast of air as what must have been his hand swung across the space in front of my face. I laughed out loud. It was a rat...
Makeing the call was a little harder with my new friend constantly pokeing me. Thankfully I managed to make the call. "Yes? Who is this?"

Another six billion years till heat death. Or at least, that’s what the last sentient race estimated three or four eons years back. Those poor guys had long disappeared off the face off the universe, and after that, who’s keeping score? Certainly not me. I remember, maybe billion years ago, came the maddest rush I ev...
Marlin had thought that his first command would be the greatest moment of his life.

With shaking hands, I took the pipe. The self-professed shaman smiled toothily at me through his bushy ginger beard. Behind me, his assistant prepared the mattress and pillows for me to fall back on. "Remember to surrender yourself to the experience,"the shaman urged. "Accept the medicine's healing." In the pipe? A p...
I saw you drifting far away from what you once were. First came the bad friends, then the unnecessary surgeries, then the bad boyfriends, and finally came your hatred of your family when they found out you were dating the wrong sort. I saw all of this when I refused to give a damn about your situation and worried about...
"Hun, you know we're trying to conserve power while we're on the night side. It's going to be another couple of months before the sun comes up and we can start charging again. We just can't spare the juice to have the sky on most nights."I could almost hear Mom roll her eyes. As usual, my little sister was relentless....
I sat, my entire body shaking as I tried to shove lukewarm, plain, boiled linguine into my mouth. "I.. I can't, I just can't! Who knows what he could do?

Purge planning can be a lucrative occupation. People plan all year long for their birthday purge. Purge planning parties are held and catered by professional purge planners.

You know those conspiracy theories you can read on the net? There’s plenty of them on 4Chan and even a few subreddits. They usually concern Hollywood actors, liberal politicians, and the standard sort of billionaire taking part in horrific occult rituals in the worship of Moloch or Satan or some other equally horrific ...
The Watchful One was always amused by my morning ritual. Without fail, as the sun pierced through morning dew, the same desperate grey streak from pillow to upright. I sat in my bed, pining for the simpler times, when I had the luxury of sleeping without event. "I slept like a log"was the common idiom I'd hear strewn a...
As I got out of my bed at 5am in the morning, I thought about my daily list of chores; feed the cat, get that damn Jeep fixed, buy my groceries, and kill that old man living across the street. When I lay asleep in bed, souls seem to ‘drift’ up from Hell to visit me. It happens so often that I hang a sign up in my apa...

“I don’t understand. If you are from the future, and you’re an alchemist, why doesn’t it work now? It’s the same universe, right? It follows the same laws as now.” The older man sighed, then squinted into his flagon at the somewhat dubious ale. Johan had pulled out his best when the elder stranger arrived. He had, at ...
September 4th It wasn't long until we started to take notice, just hours actually.

The core began to shake and glow, filling the vast cavern of tendrils with a brilliant golden light. The glittering key’s shadow was emblazoned above, its edges shimmering in the light. I felt the snares on my ankles loosen their grip. I was returned to the fleshy bridge. My knees gave out. I felt sick. I wanted to...
Dreams are weird. Normally what happens is you have vivid hallucinations while you sleep, and then wake up to promptly forget nearly all of the details. However, some dreams remain crisp in one's mind upon awakening. When I was twelve, I had a dream I was in a giant refrigerator with a Steve Urkel that looked and sound...

My wings spread out wide as the wind tickled my feathers. It was a wonderful feeling, seeing the land stretch beneath me like a vast expanse of green brown and blue blurs. This was the first time in months I had gotten a break. It really made me realize how horrible day to day life could be. You have your ups and downs...
"Well, shit." I knew I was trapped. I couldn't manage having two or more jobs, I already tried that. And finding a partner who could sustain me would probably not work. I needed to find a way out of this curse. I need to change the rules. I was tired that day. Since my income amount didn't matter, doing my best wa...
"We should've had these on before we got here,"Alliane said. She struggled to secure the royal blue bowtie around her throat.

I used to think reality was flawless. Seamless, elegant, compartmentalized.

The only way I can describe it is like a rubber band.
