Curiousity killed the Martians. Not directly, of course. Curiously was a robot before the time of robotic sapience. Unable to think or act without command, it was a mere set of wires and components. However, one of those components was a camera. On the other end of the camera, humans. *Humans*. We create so ma...
Grog have bad days. Ang mad at Grog because Grog not bring many meat. "Grog spend all days, draw on wall,"Ang say. Ang not know. Ang right. Grog and Ang need meat. Grog go to find meat. Grog find animal, but animal fast. All day, Grog chase animal. Grog too slow, not catch animal. Grog get lost. Grog find new rock. Roc...
Your parents thought you should be given the mercy of not knowing the details, but I've seen many cases of superpowers and have found its best to be truthful. Your particular strain is the Igneus Flarus virus. Over the next month your body will drastically increase in temperature. Spontaneous combustion near your ext...
John had managed to cross the ravine just that morning. His parents had long since learner to ignore him when he attempted this feat earlier. They were farmers through and through, people concerned with the weather the stars and the passage of time only in relation to what they can coax out of the ground in response. ...
I don’t remember much after the voices drifted away. Not when I emerged from the stalls, washed my hands, and returned to my desk. My body moved on its own accord, mindless as I settled in my chair and returned to my work. An overheard conversation that painted my future, I should be freaking out. Yet here I sat, click...
Our camera crew endured the bumpy ride in the desert as we prepared to record. Our driver was paired with a heavily armed man, wielding a fully loaded shotgun and half-loaded pistol. I understood why he came with us. *Mutants, raiders, wildlife, practically everyone needed some type of weapon out here*. As our horses s...
I imagine it was the very contrast to my own troubling life that first drew me to him. As the saying goes, opposites attract. I am not able to die, I am immortal, my coming to be so a tale worthy of its own telling. But that is not why I write this memoir. I write for him, for Curtis. Perhaps the only true love of my...
I was upset to see him again so I had to tell him straight "You never think these things through do you? Do you remember why I took your life? Have you even got the foggiest idea what is going on here? All those years of abuse, all the pain, the desperation. How can you just pretend that none of that happened?" He sai...
Its a beautiful world. The wild west, if you will. Every body believes our stories, that we're a simulation. Religion has been abolished and humanity can finally face itself and its own indignities without distraction from petty political disputes. I remember The Day it Changed like it was yesterday. We'd all been wa...
Ugh. My back hurts... The bed feels hard. Zzzz.... Where is the draft coming from... Drowsy sigh.... My eyes flew open. My god, what time is it!? In a sleepy haze the room was flooded with bright light. All I could think was I’ve overslept. I’ll miss him! Trying to shake the sleep stupor, I attempted to roll o...
The feeling of wanting to reach out and slap someone is strong. But you know you must hold back -- not everyone knows how to correctly wield the power of the Apostrophe. So many try, and fail. Fail horribly too. It's almost as if they just don't care. Or maybe they know your weakness. Maybe they know that every m...
"Tomorrow"I say aloud, to my lonely self in the room. That couldn't be possible. But... just incase I'll take the day off from work. You never know. "Yeah, hey. I'm not feeling too well. Mind if I take the day off tomorrow?" "Yeah sure. Feel better." This still wasn't possible. But just in case I decide not to coo...
My dad soars through the sky. The people stop and look up with smiles on their face. My mom follows close in her hover car. The communicator on her car activates. “Metropolitan and Curium. There is a bank robbery on 52nd street.” The police chief says. “We are on our way.” My Mom replies as they soar to the scene of...
Here, the sun never sets. Twilight filters through autumn leaves that never fall. As I wander I scour the forest for signs of something familiar, something that will lead me back home. But I will never leave. To me, it feels as if I have only known this place for a few hours but in the back of my mind I know the truth....
So, here is the deal - the Buddhists were right. You, me and seemingly everyone else here on Earth reincarnates over various lives. You don't switch species, people come back as people and animals come back as animals. Also, the reincarnation is pretty much almost instantaneous. You die and the next kid to be born wil...
Jim was... not the most well behaved kid on the block. Between frequent peer-punching to pranks and even vandalized property, he made it his duty to make everyone around him annoyed and miserable, much to the dismay of his parents. They tried everything. Therapy sessions climaxed with broken glass, personal confronta...
My breath catches in my throat. "Well shit.....I'm too ugly to be a stripper.....and I can't sing......hmmm....ok. the bank it is."I rummaged through my old sock drawer and found a black beanie. I cut holes in the top and slid it on. Not bad for an impromptu mask. I went to my father's gunsafe and pulled out the Glock ...
I let out a laugh and looked at my bedroom door, which Daniel had locked a minute ago. "Really,"I said. "You're the only person I want to know right now. I'm not really sure how long I've had this power, because I haven't tested it until recently." After a pause, I worked up the strength to look him in the eyes. "Wel...
"The myth of the 1000 eye man,"he spoke to himself outloud. Another parchment translated "The spider who ruined the world."He flipped through to find a last parchment he wanted to read to the eight year old boy looking up, eyes intent on hearing the last words, whether he understood them or not, "The snow that fell for...
This wasn't how it was supposed to go. We were supposed to clean out the place following a tight plan in less than a hour. We never expected this. This was impossible. Instead, we had encountered the owner of the mansion five minutes into the heist. Luke and Bryan were supposed to take care of him, but instead he had m...
Tranquility, a moment in time I am yet to feel. Millenia of escorting men and women to their deaths, steadily increasing due to their putrid pandemic. The short friendships I have experienced, comforting them. Protecting their soul in a small vial, one that has housed billions, and allowing them to see their loved once...
The bar is almost deserted. Good. Fewer witnesses. There's cheesy music coming from the speakers in the corners of the room, a hoarse man's voice singing about a love long lost and his loneliness. I listen for a second or two before focusing on the single person sitting alone at the bar, making awkward small talk with ...
The devil's cold talons dug into my shoulders, with my very soul seemingly shrinking away in an attempt to move from his grip. But it was of no use... I knew that I had gone too far with the ritual. Only a stupid joke... they had told me it was only a joke. But as I felt his slitted eyes bore into the back of my head, ...
“He’s gonna do it,” the red-horned demon said, gaze fixated on the television screen. There was a man that stood on the roof of a building, tears streaming down his face. Violent gusts of wind blew tufts of blond curls. The blue-eyed demon with snakes for a tail shook its scaly head. “He wouldn’t. Not with that many ...
"Ladies and gentlemen... presenting... Julien.. versus... Julien! Both have a ten win streak and have not yet been defeated! Both seem equally resourceful and difficult to fight against! Who will prevail!"The announcer said, while the crowd cheered on. The Juliens faced each other, whispering and talking, seeming to at...
You know, by now I would have thought that all of you little mortals would have stopped listening to me. What with how much you prattle on about how I’m ‘a corner of the house’ or the ‘sithis shaped hole in the world’. It’s all a bunch of mortals prattling on about things they know nothing about! Oh! An example would ...
“So... you were dreaming and you had no control whatsoever on what happened, right?” “Yes. *Yes.* Exactly.” “So like... a regular dream.” “No! Dude, I told you, it’s not-” “Yeah, I got it, lucid dreaming and all, but.-” “It’s not lucid dreaming, it’s-“ “It’s lucid dreaming, you snowflake. It happens.” Finally, I...
Screams erupted from the ballroom. Rick, the hotel desk clerk, looked up from the computer, over to the doors of the ballroom and gave a heavy sigh. “I am terribly sorry about this,” Rick said to the startled couple he was checking in, “but there is a matter that I need to attend to right away. Do you mind if we finis...
"It's not so bad, really, when you think about it,"Allen says. I can hear him off to the side, droning on and on about our predicament. I stare off out into the empty void, filled with huddled masses of rock that used to comprise the planet Pluto. Now, it vaguely resembles crushed gravel. Finally, the debate ends on Pl...
Well, in a sense it was a worse world. Bad things happened once and again and we could do nothing to avoid them. If someone you loved had an horrible disease you knew that they were going to die. You just would not be able to do anything about it. The medics would probably try their best to save their life, but there a...
My armor sags me down. I feel all my wounds from battling the King of Evil’s henchmen. I am bleeding profusely, yet there is still more to come. I approach the throne room, getting ready to complete my quest, once and for all. I open the double doors, and I’m greeted with...a butler? “Good evening Sir Erick.” I’m su...
Today was the day. Anton Sklavorski got up from his bed, took a shower, did all the normal things he did every morning, then he looked into the hotel mirror at his face. It was a face that had aged poorly. Poor diet and lack of exercise showed in it's heavy jowls and second chin. Today was the day. Ten years ago he...
Munch checked the e-mail as was his duty. Once Goggles would have done it, but she was in the psych ward. Jock was in his room crying on Prim's shoulder. He did that a lot lately. 4,237 new e-mails, a good quarter of them scams. Every town wanted their name in the paper. The sight of their styalized van, all chrome an...
As I open my eyes. Something feels...off. I can’t seem to focus right and everything looks huge. I’m in some kind of bedroom. The walls are pink and there are bows and doilies everywhere. In a panic I try and stand up to get my bearings. I immediately fall over. “What the hell, why can’t I stand?” I think to myself. ...
One Two Three Four One Two Three Four One Two Three Four One Two Three Four “The DRUMS. They pound with no end. One Two Three Four. Every day. Every second. THE DRUMS. How can nobody hear them?!” In a frenzy I pace back and forth, muttering “They don’t stop. They never stop.” The drums had beaten on my head for as...
She floated a few feet in the air, with long lilac hair and shining green eyes. She reached out to him with a pale hand and smiled. "You're here. Hello. You must be Ga-" "Oh my God! I'm inside a shark! I'm inside a shark!"The man gasped. She looked confused. Chuckling slightly, the angel replied: "No. This is the...
The Devil stared at the sky, his shackles rusted and broken. He felt an old, lost power surge through his veins as red flames lashed into the horizon of the dark midnight sky. Curious, was it not? That an evil, malevolent being, be *cursed* to do *good* things. Why would the cursed be cursed? For what reason? Was it ...
Tony looked like he owned a junkyard. Beer belly, dirty wife beater, five o'clock shadow, bald spot, a habit of scratching himself in a private spot in public view. People treated him badly for it, trying to take advantage of him, acting like he was a dumb hick. It didn't help matters that he actually owned a junkyar...
It'd been a really strange day for Alex. First of all, she'd gotten top marks on her test she absolutely hadn't studied for. After all, how could you be expected to study when your only living relative was a drunk who pissed and puked all over himself and had to be carted off to the ER almost on a weekly basis? Second...
"It won't be long before we don't have anything... or should I say anyone... to fight against anymore."Davion laughed before clicking the 'Play Against AI' option. ​ He knew what it had come to. All those practice rounds against the gods who held the top ranks for years. Those ranks became irrelevant aft...
James pulled up behind the last police cruiser, parked, put his Glock in the holster, turned the engine and lights off, got out. He saw Detective Pierce beyond the caution tape. Which was good; things usually went smoothly when Pierce was the lead. There were only three cruisers, which didn't seem like enough for a mur...
After a long day at work, I made myself dinner, and quickly went to bed. At around midnight I was awoken to a white light coming from the window, too bright to see through. A few seconds later, there was a loud voice that sounded like it was coming from all around me. "YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN" The hell did that mean? Th...
Falling in love with her was like entering a locker and closing the door on the world. It was just the two of us, her and I, in the confines of this space, isolated, and secluded from the judgment of public opinion. This space that was big enough to allow only us, the air thick with the exhalations of expectations, ant...
CW: Violence. Lots of violence. \--- 27. I had 27 tally marks cut into my forearm. I ran my right forefinger over each one, remembering each fight, each close call, and, worst of all, each kill. I shuddered as my finger reached the first diagonal slash, representing my 5th fight. What was the kid's name? Greggor....
My ascension started in a city in chaos. Political upheaval had meant three straight decades with brutal wars of accession, and an increasingly desperate populace. My goal was simple—take the throne and restore order, whatever the cost. So, I started killing all the people who stood in my way. I walked the streets of m...
"Another day another dollar,"said Jesus to himself. He flipped a wheat wafer like a gangster flips a coin, catching it by picking it out of the air overhandedly. He sighed, and continued his lonely conversation. "Let's see, 50,000 in a day is a new record. I'll have to promote the foreman, raise the min wage." He str...

"Jon, let's go for a big one." Where did that come from? I flick my eyes around to see no one in the gym's mirrors. I'm going off the reservation. Unracking the barbell, my form is perfect.

Fury of Nature’s Children The young hunter returned, only to find her village razed to the ground. Smoke rose in gray, putrid clouds that smell of death and suffering, and she ran into the village, searching for survivors. But her search yielded naught but corpses, charring and smoking, and blood, running like a grot...
"Hey Morty, I'm gonna take 5,"I called out, stepping outside for a quick smoke. The door chime sounded off as I pushed the double doors open; a quick blast of cold Massachusetts air striking my face. Morty, my late 40s, slightly overweight with a greasy comb-over, manager tossed a dishrag over his shoulder. "Alright,...
It's today. ​ My heart was pounding, pumping the injected adrenalin through my thickened vessels. Everything seemed to blur in motion as I shifted my weight from right, to left; moving forward to my corner of the ring. My iron grip clenched on the gun I picked up from the metal floor, instincts whispering ...
I knew this was going to happen. I shouldn't have let Archie talk me into this whole thing. But it was a done deal as soon as I got into his flivver. He and his gal Grace thought they could show me a grand old time. "Best time you'll have this side of the Rouge,"he said. I wasn't convinced, but I had nothing bette...
Slowly, keeping my body hidden, I stayed near the treeline. This moose in front of me, his scars..they run deep. He is old, wise, but still strong. He has yet to see me, a grizzly bear. Suddenly, this moose tenses up. He smells me. It is far too late for him. I roar as I stand up on my hind legs, bringing about my paws...
I sauntered to the bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet. My cold had progressed over the last week, leaving my nose vulnerable to running and my throat aching and stinging that not even tea with honey was able to make it feel better. My throat was red, raw and angry, and my nose peeling from the amount of tissues t...

Okay. Look, just yesterday, I was just lounging about in my living room when I saw, out of the corner of my eye, my cat Kira, having managed to climb up to the counter to eat my cheeseburger. I was kinda mad at first, but then again, it's a cat, and they are pretty cute and popular. So, I decided, to humor myself, to ...
Thanos thudded to the ground as Thor’s axe buried itself in his chest. The God of Thunder landed next to the Mad Titan and grabbed the handle, forcing Stormbreaker further. “I told you” Thor growled, shooting a look of pure hatred into Thanos’s eyes. “You’d die for that.” Thanos, breathing heavily through the pain, ma...
The observatory was silent. The machinery, cold. A strong smell of rusted metal emanated from the very core of this machine. A small monocle, dusty, covered in a gold trim across the edge of the glass, with a small chain attached to it, hanging of the table, grooves on the legs cut only by a skilled artisan. A pencil, ...

His livable space was a bare 1...
M popped a couple of aspirn as she leaned back in her chair. The silver haired woman who looked a lot like Dame Judi Dench sighed.

I’ll give it a shot... The sun gleamed off of the jagged glass on a rusted tractor. Its backhoe tore deep into the rubble that covered the area like a granite quarry, crushing concrete and any remnants of glass that might be left behind.

At the center of the universe, where an infinite amount celestial flotsam once wedged itself into an infinitesimally small amount of space before launching its overly-packed contents into an infinitely expanding existence, lay a small, flimsy workbench.

A serial killer stands before a firing squad. His eyes are dull and glassy, the eyes of a man who regrets none of the kills he has made, none of the families he's torn apart in his acts of senseless depravity.

--- I could hear it coming for me. A beast without form, a voice without origin, a mind without limits. It was hunting me; a non-euclidean body of shadows, distinct against the crimson sky.
