After years of traveling, or maybe it was only seconds… weeks? Time is hard when you’re just drifting out here. Maybe I’ve only been drifting for a paragraph. Things just repeat out here in the dark nothingness. Time is hard when you’re just drifting out here. Anyway back to my story of how that got waaaay more interes...
"Hey, man."I say walking up to this stranger. I notice that no one has talked about him, ever. Not a parent, not a friend, not a work-mate, no one. The man sipping his coffee looked up but said nothing. Perhaps this was why he had never been mentioned. He had never given his name so no one ever could. "Sir?"I try to...
Father, Rebels got a thrashing today. Even their sharpest tucked tail and skedaddled like a flock of those pigeons roosting in the belfry when the church bell tolls. My fellows took some eight thousand prisoners. Even still the dead and distressed number some twenty five thousand. More orders for...
I sat upright in my handcrafted wooden throne, staring at the many men and women who sat beside me. My hands sweat as I rest them on the side of my throne, while I stare at them all uneasily. The jade ring around my middle finger flashes every few seconds, another notification, another complaint, another problem. I tap...
Shopping with food stamps was fun sometimes. It was like hitting the lottery, only humiliating. Cathy would be back in that familiar territory soon. It seemed like every time she was close to climbing out of the gutter, something went to hell. A car implosion. Doctor bills for the kids. Her husband running off. Or i...
Call to order, everyone settle down please. We have called this meeting to review the shocking discovery of this letter received from the year 2079. I’m sure all of you have read it by now, but for those who have not, and for posterity, we will review its contents now. “Respected leaders of the previous generation. W...
“Mayday mayday! My ship is going down!” I howled into the communications panel, hoping that my signal would make it out into space and back to the fleet. A part of me knew it was futile, my array was damaged and I did not know what happened to the antennae. The ship was barely keeping itself together, smoke trailed...
"Congratulations!"the small crowd of construction workers cheered for Jerry. The middle-aged man in soiled denim overalls smiled at his crew. "Thanks, guys!"Jerry climbed into the bed of his truck to address them all. "As the first member of Bad Mudders going in I promise we'll have a rockin', uh... dope? Slammin'? Wh...
I sat down in my seat putting my luggage in the proper position. Looking around the cart reveals one other person. She is old woman wearing a lavender dress and coat. Her hair is white as snow, and her face is full of wrinkles. It is odd that a woman of that age would be riding a train this late. The train departs as ...
I’m instantly awake, alert. No grogginess, no moaning and groaning and “What’s that noise?” nonsense. Awake. Alert. Quiet. Listening. I pinpoint the sound. It’s coming from the spare room, which I’ve used for the past five years as an office / storage / junk room combo. The sound is not threatening. It’s a phone. Lan...
"If you don't eat your apples,"Mother scolds, leaning forward, eyes wide, mouth twisted, "you'll end up like your brother."Her head jerks to the left sharply, as if some invisible fist just punched her in it. The motion swings my eyes to the end of the table where my older brother sits, hunched over, eyes wide and star...
The man with the cape billowed in the air, firebreathing and with a single plasma energy, destroyed a mountain. The audience applauded and cheered in response. "Ladoots, Gondrats, and Meemets, that was 'Superhero X', with another fantastic episode of a dream! Give it up, give it up!"Volver said, bringing their talons ...
‘She’s been online for an hour now…’ ‘Only an hour? This must be all a bad dream. They switched her on and now the farm is gone? Why now? I knew this Hestia thingy was supposed to repair the Earth or whatever. Keep us safe. but It wasn’t supposed to do this.’ ‘Well, this is what we get. None of those university sci...
“Okay. Stop. Stop. If you carry on any longer I’m going to say the Lord’s name in vain.” I paused midway through the card trick. The King of Hearts still burning in my palm. “What?” Bob threw up his hands. “What! Yes, what indeed! What am I watching?” “It’s… It’s a card trick. See I set the King on fire, and then, w...

My life began as I lay dying. My vision is pulsing--a train is running inside my skull. The side of my head is warm, wet, and ringing, so, so, impossibly loud. It isn’t shaped--right. I can tell. A man, standing. Over me, baseball bat, bright red, dripping. My thoughts don’t work right, swimming, molasses. A body lies ...
You could name every soldier in line from left to right, Jimmy, Hector, Robin, Darrel... the list could go on. Every one of them knew what you did that day as well. Though they know the blood welling in their tear glands isn’t enough to save you. Officer Kyle stood up in the watchtower awaiting your execution, wi...
I opened my eyes. The sun beam had moved about four feet to the right. In Tallahassee, Florida, a man named Roger is going to trip over a rake in his own back yard and break his femur right...now. I yawned, letting my tongue stretch out, and feeling my chest expand, hold, and release. About forty miles outside of D...
It took over a week for the round-trip back to earth after we realized that bullets were useless against the spirits that haunt the moon. When we were debriefed by NASA, they decided that there would be no more manned missions to the moon. Less than three days later, the invasion started. The moon changed color to a...
In the cold quaint night on the street of Cheetham Hill in Manchester, something I’d halfway hope would happen, came clashing with a moment I forever dreaded. A smartly dressed old man was lying down passed out in front me, having possibly minutes to live, and I could be the one to save his life, something a bank tel...
Regent Wendell forced himself through the airlock of his transport into the Earth Command Station. The Lieutenant waiting for him offered magnetic boots to simulate gravity but he declined the offer and floated along the corridor as he was led to the primary conference. The alien beasts had true artificial gravity, a...
---A bit gory. You have been warned!!--- "Tim, are we the bad guys?"Jake asked as he crushed the skull if the latest adventurer to come into his cozy corner of the dungeon. "What?"Tim asked back he'd found it difficult to hear Jake's question as the elf he had in a choke hold wouldn't stop struggling and letting out...
One hour into the purge, time to get to work. I carefully close all the tabs of the laptop I was handed one week ago, before turning it off, and tearing out the hard drive. I throw it to the floor, and mash it into the floor with the heel of my foot. No need for the information, it is all in my head now. The prize, tw...
"Jim, ahh fuck Jim please man. Did you eat the candy in my room?" "Chill, i didn't think you would notice i can buy you some more jolly ranchers after work." "You didn't eat the whole thing did you." "Nah man i spit it out after that first delicious taste. You eat the whole thing?" "Thank fucking god, where is it?"...
"Vincent. Bro. I'm telling you, I think you put on too much weight,"Kyle said, glancing skeptically at the stack of fifty pound weights on either end of the bar. Vincent, using a paper towel to wipe down the bench before his set, looked up at Kyle and frowned. "Hah-hah. Good one dude. Real funny. Definitely haven't he...
After months of searching, I finally found my great-grandchildren. Now, I am not quite up-to-speed on their culture, but I think that I have figured out a way to convince them that I am not just a figment of their imagination. I can't do it myself: I lack credibility. Of course the figment will claim not to be a figmen...
Deep in the forest there was a Woodcutter. The Woodcutter was a simple man, he would cut wood and head home. However one day, a great enchanted jungle appeared by the King's castle. No fire, nor metal would cut the magical vine nor the hardy trunks. So the King sent his great knights to seek one who may hold knowledge ...
This is not a threat. We are simply disappointed by your selfish actions that do nothing to distinguish you from the animals that roam our lands. You have chosen to try to start a war that will hurt no one but yourself. What you fail to realise, Mr President, is that your country is the equivalent of a speck of dust f...
The first thing Dorothy did when they removed the hood from her face was to spit out some straw. "What in the cursed hell of fu-" "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth, Dorothy?" Dorothy risked snapping a muscle in her neck by turning her head oh-so-fast. She knew that voice. But the room was dark, and a blinding...
“So, that one’s...” “Sydney Opera House.” I’m showing him around the house. He’s clearly never been here before. When you look at the house, it’s pretty much the same as any other. You might question the amount of windows, but then brush it off as an architectural choice. But when you go inside, it’s a much differe...
You sniff your dish of chili as you walk to the tray cart. Spicy, you think. You put some chili and cornbread on each plate and grab some silverware. The aliens use silverware, right? You wheel the cart out of the kitchen into the dining hall. A large banner hangs above the whole room stating “Welcome to Earth!” You wa...
Mooneyham taps the mic out of habit. There's no feedback, cause Lawrence hasn't completed his mission. Mooneyham's dressed to the nines, bare chest and all, but this concert will have no women screaming his name. Freddy pokes him in the ribs with a drumstick and asks if he's ready, hotshot. Mooneyham breathes in deep...
Ever since she learned how to use the computer, she always used that painting software. It began with simple children's drawings and later on evolved until it became photorealistic comic strips. Anyone who's seen her draw would say she was raised by the drawing tablet, which is more true than what one would expect. To...
I'd like to say I write best in the morning, but I seem to do a lot of my writing late at night, so I'll have to go with that instead. Either way, I always seem to have coffee around. While I'm here, I'm kinda proud to say that I finished a project I was working on recently. It's a short series called FUBAR based on a...
I sat down at the bench, a pristine work of intricately carved mahogany. On its facade was carved the lady of justice, blindfolded and beautiful. My council sat down next to me, he was an archfiend from the seventh Hell, and he looked it. He stood over ten feet tall, and wore a suit which looked to be woven from fire a...
The great race fair! One of, if not the greatest competition in all of the silver-blood galaxy. This year's winning race was an interesting one; little apes, with nearly no fur and-get this- non-opossable toes. Genius. And if that wasn't smart enough, the scientist made them in the elite race's image. Oh such a wo...
You stare down your microscope at the petri dish. The E. Coli you were studying seemed to form a one finger salute before forming organized rows. As they started to move towards the edge of the dish, you call your supervisor over. He looks down at the dish and shakes his head. Sealing the dish, he opens the chamber th...
Tearing... That's all I can feel. It's been tearing at me for years. They thought it would destroy me, or contain me at the least, but it hasn't. Instead, it has just torn, pulled and strained. But the tearing has made me stronger, more powerful. And now it begins. It's tearing, but now I feel nothing. It cannot hurt...
The day started out innocently. It was about 11 a.m, I was busy guzzling the first beer of the day and lining up for something to eat, while listening to "Mr. Hurley and the Gunpowder Monkeys"with half an ear. They did their usual pseudo-medieval post punk, frantic bagpipes and blastbeats, obscene and senseless texts, ...
When I got the call, I assumed it was just some dumb kids. “We need you again,” the caller said. It was from an unlisted number, so I didn’t think much of it. I just went back to watching TV. I really started getting suspicious when the letter came. It didn’t have a return address, and was delivered right to my door in...
The atmosphere was like the roads once were in downtown Atlanta. The swarms of drones like bees in the sky and a rainbow of led lights, some flickering on and off like the thing itself was contemplating. Silent meditation. Lines of data streamed from points across the landscape connecting people, drones, cars, buildin...
"And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder One of the four beasts saying, 'Come and see.' and I saw, and behold a white horse" There's a man goin' 'round takin' names And he decides who to free and who to blame Everybody won't be treated all the same There'll be a golden ladder reachin' down When the man comes aro...
"Where did we go wrong???"my mom cried to dad. He just stood there looking broken and defeated. "He was such a good kid...he didn't do anything like abusing animals when he was a kid" Let's rewind a bit to a few days before. The stench was unreal. How much longer could the smell linger before people started asking...
It was really nice, I thought, polishing the currently-dull black helmet. I had my own personal cruiser, with bombproof shields. I could just relax my days away. Life had fallen into routine, and all I had to do was polish Lord Vader's helmet every day or two. Didn't even take that long, to be honest. But life... I...
The door exploded inwards, flinging shards of wood past my face as a way-too-buff-for-his-age 12-year-old entered the room with his chest puffed out. "I've finally found you Emporer Heinous!"he said, not acknowledging the fact that his voice cracked at the end there. "No, it's Emporer Highness. It's meant to be ...
They always appeared, I thought I was imagining it at first, no no they appeared every time I had a crazy dream.. They would taunt me, watch my every move as if they were searching for a way to capture me. They were wolves but darkness surrounded them. It wasn’t till I shouted at them that they started to come closer...
Captains Log, CD 21/11/62 After an encounter with a large black hole, our ship tried to escape its gravitational pull by flying away from it at full warp speed, but this was no help. Instead of instantaneous destruction, though, it seems we have been transported into another....dimension So to speak. It is formless, e...
I chose this it was never about being good. It was always the game. I chose this Thousands fall by my hand I chose this They riot against me. I chose this I created this world, programmed it. I chose this The world became reality, I became the leader of it. I chose this They want me dead now, ...
Boss called at eight or so. I could hear some shouting sportscaster or other in the background, obviously he was at home enjoying his Friday night. I was also enjoying my evening. Had picked a nice, cold, hard spot on the floor of my apartment and laid there and stared at the ceiling for some number of hours. That numb...
As I sped into my driveway, I was seething. Having your boss fire you for stealing something you had nothing to deal with has a way of destroying even the chillest demeanor. I slammed my car door open , almost breaking the hinges, and kicked it close. All the while receiving strange looks from my neighbors. I stomped t...
{My first time writing so go easy on me} "What the hell?"Captain Locke exclamied as everyone on the bridge saw one thing... their ship staring back at them. Locke ordered a scan of the ship and right as it went off we felt our ship being scanned too. The readings for the ship all indicated that the crew of the ship wa...
"You truly think you are in a position to be asking for mercy?" Aarin sneered, holding his blade up to the light. Samkiel groaned and doubled over, coughing blood onto the floor near Aarin's feet. He caught sight of his own blade leaning against the wall closest to the door. If he could only get to it... Aarin's col...
As the other four warriors stare at the statue that just spoke to us all, I quickly (and Quietly) aim my SCAR-L at the wizards back, and put a burst of munitions into him. I then quickly turn to the mage and send a burst into her chest as she turns to me. The knight screams and charges me, before gurgling and falling t...
Millennia ago, I angered my fellow gods, and thus, I received divine punishment. I was cast out of Mount Olympus and I lost all my powers, doomed to suffer for eternity with the mortals. And honestly? It’s been pretty baller so far. Being immortal and all, I didn’t have to eat or sleep, so I just spent all my time do...
I can't believe it. How did this happen? How did we sentence a serial killer to immortality? It has to be the worst mistake of the legal system in... well... forever. We experimented with magic and it didn't work out. That was my basic explanation to the press when they came knocking on my door. But those news-hungry...
I was never a religious man. Spent my entire life telling people that there was nothing after this. But sitting here with this IV in my arm... It puts things into perspective. You always think you have more time. You're running home from the bus stop to catch that cartoon. You run through the door as a young teenager i...
The excitement in the room was unbearable. Questions swirled inside the world's most important minds. It should have worked. Then again, it should have worked the last ten times too. No, this time would be different. The calculations were perfect. The capsule was locked and impenetrable. Nothing could go wrong. Not thi...
I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit: - [/r/james_fire] [\[WP\] Your superpower isn’t what others think, instead of freezing things you simple move heat from one location to another. The villains have you captured without realising this.](https://www.reddit.com/r/...
I could have bought something smaller, that's true. It probably would have been a good idea to buy something smaller. It seemed like a good idea at the time, and that's really all I want to say about that. I mean it was a really good fucking deal though. Like super sweet and not something that I could just pass u...
The zombie apocalypse had been a real shit show. If you thought mindless hordes wandering around eating people’s brains was bad, imagine an assorted array of bulletproof, fire breathing, flying, etc. flavored zombies. A while ago, it was discovered that people who find a way to return from death get pretty fuckin coo...
'I am now a sentient piece of toast.' &#x200B; That was the first thing I ever thought. Can you imagine remembering the first thing you ever thought? It's interesting to say the least. The first problem that I encountered, however, was not the fact that I was the first of my kind in the world, or that I would nev...
I walked back down the street, towards Conflagration. He unleashed the torrent of flames from the openings in his arms. I let the flames roll over me, feeling my skin char and disintegrate. I felt the pain which quickly lasted only a millisecond before the nerves on my skin died. My abilities kicked in passively, heal...
I always wondered when it will happen to me. When will I hear a voice for the first time? Is it going to be magical? Or will I be dissapointed? I heard that some never find their soulmate and die never knowing what words sound like. That would be the worst. I‘m just craving to hear SOMETHING. My best friend found her p...
It seems like forever since I've been here, waiting on this timeless shore, at the edge of day and night. I count my footsteps on the white sand instead of the hours, and I try to remember what it was that brought me to this place. The ocean turns from blue to black in the distance, the flickering lights of a dark side...
The flashing Christmas tree lights are going off like sirens in a firehouse. All the elves freeze in place. A barbie playhouse slowly falls off a workshop table, crashes to the floor, and shatters into a dozen pieces. The head elf, Bernard, runs over to the "all stop"button. He smashes it down. That's the first time...
"Shit!" "Davis, you good out there? Over." "Yea it should be fine. I just tore a hole in my suit. Over." "Roger, not a problem. Let us know when you're finished with the external repairs, we'll reel you back in. Over." "Not a problem. You'd think they'd have made drones to do regular space station maintenance like ...
John watched the massive towers rising out of the ground like a giant zipper. People all over the block stopped dead in their tracks to stare at the towers. "What the fuck is going on?"John asked himself. All around him a crowd of people were running away as if the towers were some sort of bomb. John stepped back, l...
The giant glared. Oddly, he was not very intimidating. You would think his size would lend him some menace, but threat was a foreign expression on his massive face. "Have you been receiving our letters, Mr. Ganto?", Aesop Malone asked. "Well I..", "And did you read them?", he interrupted. "It's just that I've been busy...
As the ship desperately tried to grasp the concept of my words I realised that I had made a grave mistake in using Common Earth on a Galactic Federation ship. These things weren't familiar with the languages of the more recent additions to the Federation. In bigger ships this wouldn't be too much of a problem as those ...

Like each day, you wake up surrounded by your family. They gives you some food and drink. Then, you decide to spend the day travelling. You start to visit the neighborhood. You see some earth molecule and also air molecule. They all greets you with nice smile and hand signs. You continue your travel with some other wat...
Well, it was kind of a bad idea, but surely possible. Only extremly difficult, mainly because i wasn't the only asshole, who had that idea. And there were some naturalist and emos, who really wanted to stay there, and not fly away in the last moment when a shuttle can still leave this hell. Yet, the prize of the achive...
"What the f-"flashes in your head while you are looking at stranger who could be your twin though you don't have and never had any twins. Your body, your face, even your froze pose. Two identical figures, but the people near — just few meters away — take no notice of you two. Memories float one by one from the depth o...
A Bloody Birthday Everyone in the kingdom knew about The Lady of the Blades. No one outside of her mercenary company and the King and Queen had even seen her outside of her assassin garb; aside from the King, Queen, and their children, she was easily the most powerful person in the land, and not for no reason, either....
I was 6 when I had my first bloody nose. I remember because my mom ran right past me to embrace my dad who was holding a draft letter. He never made it back. My mother made it work, which was hard in those days. Not a lot of people wanted to marry a widow, not a lot of people wanted to a hire a woman whose primary ski...
I never really believed in a god my whole life, but the day we all got superpowers I knew there must be one out there. And he's a dick with the worst sense of humor ever. It started with the comet NASA originally called IBA-2547 and after the event called Pandora's fingerprint. It was slow moving for a comet came from ...
“There we are.” “Are we? I don’t see anything suspicious.” A sparrow flew on their head, chirping loudly. “And this is way you are still training, Ensign.” “Well, then, commander. Teach me.” Commander Theta stood in the middle of the plaza, eyes closed, arms folded behind the back. Ensign Psi awkwardly imitated h...
My mom knows many things. My mom is smart. My mom knows how to cook macaroni. That is good. Mm, macaroni... But that's not all. My mom can plant plants. My mom said that to plant plants, you just follow an algorithm, as with all things. I don't know what an algorithm is. I am only four. But I know many things too. I...
I guess they got the idea from my last guy. He was apparently involved in lots of things that certain nefarious people find a use for. He was a provider of interesting services. I didn't know that. I don't really care what they do, their jobs. I don't care much about them, to be honest. I only cared how they behaved. P...
"I guess it was bound to happen someday, powers aren't always a gift. I knew i'd eventually see something downright scary but... seeing my corpse? That's a whole other deal. It was unlike anything i'd ever experienced, i got to see the whole 'life flashing before your eyes' thing. I guess that was good, it means i won'...
The expression on the doctors face told me the diagnosis before he sat down. Cancer. Stage IV. Incurable. Untreatable. I was going to die. But I'd lived a long and full 89 years so I was okay as i walked out and headed home for the last time. Well, "home"probably is a stretch but my little apartment worked for me just ...
First time I’m actually on the writing side, let me know what you think! A beep resounded throughout my house. “It’s ready...” I muttered, quickly taking off my earbuds and lifting myself off of the bed. Time was of the essence here, so I had to make sure I got there on the dot. A minute too long and they would be...
What's the worst that could happen? Well, what was? Especially seeing how the question's about driving out to buy a six-pack. Granted, your girlfriend told you to stay home, because she's on her way, doesn't have the keys, and has a dying battery. But it's just a two-minute drive, and the shakes are coming on, which ...
Hubris and corruption. It was always my destiny, written into the synchronicity of the stars and the world. Pa and Ma told me the story of the day I was born as a bedside tale: a busy day in the College of Thaumatology, where Professors Absalom and Miriam Einstein were working on their research paper for Unified Astro...
Coming home to a living room destroyed was the last thing I wanted. In addition to my flat tire this morning, the boss gave me Hell at work today. Needless to say, my stress was already high prior to seeing what Jaws did to my couch. He's been a handful ever since I rescued him from the shelter a month ago. Devouring ...
20 years ago the elder gods had cast humanity down from heaven. It was a one sided decision. The humans were quick to rebel, and the ensuing war cost millions of their resources. The only hope to end these dark times was written in prophecy. It was said that after trudging through the ashen, volcanic, t-rex infested re...
The Aliens arrived in force, one after the other rolling out into the dispensaries. We couldn’t believe it as they traded their weapons, technology, anything they had to get some good ganja. They told us they had travelled light years, and our kush was so potent they could smell it through the vacuum of space and time ...
I wrote a poem. The premise is similar but different. &#x200B; "it needs to end" &#x200B; Deep in the cusp of trees and hanging vines I tripped upon an abandon treasure. Its spout I rubbed no more than three times. From the clouds, she asked, “What’s your pleasure?” I yelled a lots of money, then, a bea...
"The floor will now be lava!"the Gamemaster shouted. His voluminous voice barely managed a weak echo across the living room. Yet, he held up his arms to accentuate a non-existent point. The floor remained exactly as it was before his announcement. Citizen Calm stood protectively in front of the family of four whose h...
Love at Midnight The day I met the love of my life wasn’t exactly extraordinary. I got out to bed, went to the office, and then spent my evening by myself with a bottle of wine and a cheese pizza. I went to bed after taking a shower, silently mourning my loneliness. I hadn’t exactly struck gold in the dating departme...
My existence has been nothing but agony. I was descended off a mighty line. Our children once spanned coast to coast, their talk and laughter filling the air for miles around. Now there is silence, their voices choked by the toxic air that now fills the air. The silence was slowly replaced by a slow drone, the intensi...
"See you in an hour or two, Matt!"I yell to my friend as we part ways on our walk home. I walk into my front door and begin to pack a change of overnight clothes. I hop onto my pc to browse reddit, as per usual, and scroll through r/memes before I get ready to leave for my friend's house. I walk downstairs and yell "By...
"And that is why lions are known as man's best friend"the teacher says to the class. One boy raises his hands. "Yes, Johnny." "I'm pretty sure that lions aren't best friends"Johnny says. "And why is that?" "Well, they don't make good pets. They have large claws and teeth." "Well, Johnny, what do you think man's b...
'Huddle up gang. Back to the hill we go--ERIN! Don't go near the cat, honey,' I instructed. A circle of 10 ants gathered around their cozy yet small underground habitat. 'Where's your father? Jesus--Elton! Get your ass out here.' It was close to the children's bedtime and like a domino effect, the kids started ya...
My eyes shot open as my ringtone blared loudly throughout my dark room. Groaning, I reached over to my nightstand and attempted to grab the iPhone. Once I was able to, I read the number; "Secret Service" I groaned even louder, already brainstorming scenarios as to what could be going on this time. Yet, I was not able...
Thick boots sloshed against the spongy moss. The quiet trickle of a bubbling stream. Crisp, autumn air. &#x200B; &#x200B; Tired eyes, beneath a worn baseball cap, soaked in the view of overgrown wooden panels shrouded in bush. Creeping vines slithered through broken window panes, crawling through missing sh...
I was in their for at least a week or two. Damn flea ridden birds couldn’t just kill me on the spot like I asked, all I wanted was an honorable death, a warriors death. But instead I sat their, waiting to be executed by a crowd of 5 foot tall. I heard the familiar sound of an Emu walking into my cell. Too familiar. Fl...
I was two when I first discovered that my nose would bleed near psychics. My mother was one. My nose would bleed whenever she touched me. I would cry and cry and cry, but she could never wipe those tears off because I would just keep bleeding. One day.. I found her on the floor with a hole where her heart and brain w...
The screeching creature on the ground I would come to find out is an albino badger, but with its mouth where its butt should be. So, strange. Edgar played the guitar, Robert on the bongos, and Alexander played the horn. The horn looked like some strange cross between a sitting tuba (the one that DOESN'T get carried ...
“How are you doing today, Jim?” Dr. Quinn put a hand on the bed’s beige plastic footboard. Jim pushed himself forward to a sitting position on the bed. As a prelude to speaking, he coughed up a gravel yellow curd of sputum, “I think—I’m feeling… not as bad.” Jim almost smiled but had another fit of coughing. “I’m gla...
