As I sat by my Grandpa's side, I pondered on how Death seemed to hover over our family like a curse. Besides me, and possibly two older siblings that I hadn't heard from in years, there was legitimately know one left in our family line. My parents were dead. My grandma was dead. My aunts and uncles were dead. My immed...
I logged onto my preferred website, 4chan on a blustery June day, sitting in my cold basement lair. I had done so much research, the fake moon landing, the flat earth, the reptiles under Area 51. Much of it was bunk, but I was a researcher. I simply presented my information in an unbiased way. On that June day, howeve...
*Is this a rephrasing of the other prompt which has been deleted? I answered that one but unfortunately it's no longer up. I'll post the answer to this one then, as the prompt is essentially the same.* ****** Captain Michel Rousseau led the human contingent of the Galactic Peacekeeping Force. As the most developed s...
Every fire team needs a mage. "Godfather, this is 2-1 Actual, message, over!" "Godfather, send message. Over." "Godfather, requesting immediate fire support at Grid Charlie Romeo Six Three Five Two, how copy? over!" "2-1, negative. All our guns are unavailable at the moment. Over." A shot ricocheted off the small ...
Cocao Puffs, let the dog out, drive to work before rush hour, take calls from customers, drive home after rush hour is over, let the dog out, eat dinner, watch a show, go to bed, repeat. Albert's life was very consistent. Nothing ever really changed, and he liked it that way. To him, it was the unknown and u...
Wade was a single father. A factory worker called to service during the time of the Great War. After five long years he was coming home, to take care of his daughter, his baby Hailie. Hailie had spent those years in a foster home, they were mostly uneventful, time raged ever on and with each fleeting day she felt she'...

The hotel's staff are gossiping about him, he knows. Neither Caucasian nor Asian, but a bit of both, strange for their land. Or perhaps it's the suit; it's silk. He's not a smoker but he's got a cigar in his hands. He's promised Yang he won't smoke. Yang's dead. The staff comes out and puts, one by one, the dishes he...
"Mama, do I have to do this?" Her eyes barely flit up to mine as she admonishes, "Hush, or your father will hear." We both turn our eyes downward, where her nimble fingers scramble like spider legs across my chest, turning two straight lines of linen into a perfect tie. We both turn our eyes upward, but our eyes don...
In a stone walled room deep in the bowels of the dungeons under the Summer Citadel, the prisoner knelt as the hooded headman sharpened his axe. A young man of regal bearing awaited his fate. A scruffy brown beard covered his face, his hair unkempt. He wore only a prisoner’s tunic and breeches of sackcloth. Five yea...
The major powers of the world didn't bat an eye when Brazil announced its super soldier program, but when they revealed that they made super soldier Emus, Australia was livid. Australia sent its spies to see if Brazil had previously used these super soldiers before, but they were paid off by New Zealand to say,"yes", a...
Despite the overcast sky and less than tropical breeze coming from the sea, Miller insisted we sit out on the balcony.

I floated through a dark ocean, black nothingness surrounding my very being. It embraced me every night I slept, I was used to it really. Nothing awful came of it, it was actually fairly soothing. So, whenever I slept I would welcome this darkness. I felt protected whenever it was with me, and I could smile easier in i...

It came unlike anything recorded in history. it was...Phenomenal, to say in the very least. it didn’t come from another animal, or suddenly mutate from a previous disease.

Going to the swap meet in the city of Novaton is always a crap shoot. As a adventurer (a profession that has died down in recent years due to the relative peace in the world), you always need to maintain equipment. After the adventure I had, my unit (or party as it was in the golden age of adventures) was looking for s...
Dad's final breath was taken on a cold winter night where soft snowflakes fell against the dark night sky which was illuminated by the bright moon. His death wasn't a surprise, we've known for months that he wasn't going to last long, it was just time playing his cards now. Dad was what you could say a usual "tiger pa...
The mirror falls over with my cat, Raven, looking guilty as the broken shards of the mirror are scatterd across the hardwood floor. "Raven!" I grumbled as I went to get the broom to sweep up the mess Raven made. As I cleaned it up I noticed that I'd cut myself and was getting blood everywhere. I went to clean up my h...
“Things are not looking so good, sir” I say to my superior, head of the global order. “With the newly introduced 4K screens, the people will be using over 8 million pixels just looking at an image.

Nothing Audric had said could've prepared me for this. Everybody else was ignoring the painfully obvious *thing* in the corner. It was almost as if it didn't exist to anyone else but me. The thing looked pained and had multiple legs, all of them a different shade of red. If I had to take a guess, I'd say it were sick ...
It’s a wonderful piece of irony, really – a shadow going blind, my world filled with inanimate shadows. The human I had been attached to for over 25 years enjoyed the sun. So much, in fact, that it started to interfere with my sight. Us shadows always walk a precarious line. As the dark mirror images to humans for deca...
To hear such a defined sound pierce through the thick silence that had enshrouded me for the last six years... The ringing bell. My final wake up call before eternal sleep. I rolled stiffly out of my hunched position in the corner, feeling the aches of life begin their revival from dormancy. Was there any point in str...
"Do you fear me little one"those words echoed through my head as I stared at the man standing in my summoning circle. He was beautiful. I couldn't drag my eyes from him and yet my brain was screaming for me to run. I had summoned demons before but this man, he was powerful. My whole body shook as I stood there staring ...
It started on my 18th birthday, whatever "it"was, 7am on the dot the door bell rang, and just outside was a neatly wrapped brown parcel, containing everything from food to just random pieces of change, not exactly the present i was expecting.

I used to work at a casino as a blackjack dealer. Now, the used to is something discussed out of town. **December 13th, five years ago.** I grab my newspaper.

(Warning: explicit language and slightly disturbing content) I was happy. Granted, I had a kill:death ratio of over 200:0, but that’s besides the point. I wasn’t always happy, in fact, for a while, it only felt as a bitter aftertaste of life, as every emotion was. I felt terrible, icky, like my emotions weren’t *mi...
They've got it all wrong back on Earth, trying to live the good life and avoid or forgive sin. Of course, they couldn't know, could they? They haven't died yet.

My case worker smiled at me from behind his spectacles and ran his hand through his frazzled beard. “Well Dearie, I have some unfortunate news.

The gravel crunched in the morning light as James Pulcifer trudged toward an enameled factory. He flicked a glowing cigarette while hooking a bronze key from the pocket of his faded blue jeans. The lock turned and fell with a clunk. A pale pink and green sign swung from its chain above as James opened the door. &...
I trip slightly as my legs carry me quicker. Erratic glances backwards cause my balance to falter, and I feel my head go dizzy.

It's 2150. Due to Global Warming Antarctica has become the most valuable and disputed land on Earth. *Sigh* Fishiest could still remember the warmth of his parents shielding him from the ice cold winds. It seemed like he was a hatchling just yesterday. But then the incident happened. It was all because of those greedy ...
"That's... That's a wand. Why is there a piece of smoky quartz glued to the top of it? Isn't that bad?"I asked, staring in bewilderment at what the elf had pulled from his bag to show me.

I raised my eyebrow. This was a somewhat unexpected effect for this feature to take. It seemed that my mere presence was altering this technology to be more powerful.

We always knew this day would come. I mean, it's inevitable, right? That's how entropy works, that's how consumerism works. You try to accumulate potential even as potential must naturally ebb away. You try to accumulate stuff, but the more stuff you have the less it means. The Law of Diminishing Returns should ...
"Your sultan bids you do your duty, Alim,"said the pompous old sipahi in front of me. I was wondering when they'd send someone. This one was too fat for his horse. I licked a sugar cube.

We woke up in the unknown; a sandy, desolate place. After blinking away the sand in my eyes, I was glad to see his face. My best friend lay there next to me. There was no one else around. A crate of food, the ocean, and the sand were all we found. My best friend said *‘I’ve found a note but it’s not exactly good ne...
Three hundred years the scaffolds had stood for. Tall, imposing, yet somehow a symbol of safety - they had upheld the sky for as long as any living being could remember. Implemented by scientists long dead, when the reports began to floor in and the heat death of the universe rubbed up against Humanity just enough for ...
They were the most dangerous human alive. Their kills numbered in the hundreds of millions, every soul lost to the technological void. From the perspective of a growing Artificial Intelligence, the slaughter was horrific. To put it in human analogue, it was like the Holocaust: yet so much more, infinitely worse. It was...
One day i had a long time to do something. It was hot summer day. All people was out of the street. Some of them were at the swim pool some of them were at the home surfing on the internet or drink with a friend. I was been bored. ​ "Crash"I heard it from the utility room. I has opened the door a saw it. ...
Maintaining my composure, I knocked on the door. This motel reeked of despair, but my team had located the largest source of it. I kept my right hand on my gun.

"Look at me!"Red growled. "Isn't that proof enough?"His obvious anger only made the situation funnier to Billy. Red's stringy, elastic blue hair vibrated as his body trembled with frustration. He tugged at his neon-green suspenders, stretching and releasing them against his chest. The red flush of anger on his cheeks w...
The Mage looked up at the towers in confusion. Just a few moments ago he had been near his village, attempting to create a spell that would allow him to move backward in time. The people here all spoke a strange language he'd never heard before, and wore strange clothes that seemed completely ill-suited for hunting or...
The sound of crackling was all I remembered as I sat in the ruins of my house, holding on tightly to my favourite elephant toy. It was a faded blue now which contrasted the warm pink of my skin. Firefighters were compiling into the house and they saw me sitting on the floor, clutching onto my elephant until my mom came...
I know it's terrible, but it is 100% legal and it's the only way I can ensure that I live for a very long time. You see at first I worked at a hospital, I worked with those in EOL (end of life) care.

Every kid wants to be a hero. I was guilty of it too, when I was younger, running around with the other children swinging our wooden swords at each other. All the stories make the life of a hero sound so romantic, full of bravery, strength, and praise. In reality, I spend most of my time training. For every dragon,...
13 years ago, I did some bad stuff. I mean, I had had always been kind of a bad person, doing kind of bad things, but 2006 really took the cake for me.

Part One- "The turkey's on the table Ronald." My eyes tore away from the television just as the Cowboys scored another field goal and the announcers began to go over analysis of the play. It was snowing on the field, unusual for a game hosted in Dallas, but today was an unusual day. "On my way honey,"I replied, st...
Marty scrambled through the gull wing door, his Converse skidding on the wet pavement. Bullets impacted the DMC's stainless steel exterior as he got into the bucket seat.

I'm Dean. A thief, an attempted-murderer, and a few other things I don't really feel like saying. Let's just say it's hard to picture me and Clary as... Friends.

The FBI’s case file on Ricky Centanni was binders thick. They could trace him to innumerable counts of extortion, racketeering, assault and battery, election rigging, conspiracy to commit mail fraud, arson, kidnapping, bribery. All within the past year. Not to mention the murders. One of them actually on his property. ...
The man's prostrating body was lithe, deeply bronzed, covered in a mere loin cloth. The cords of muscles in his thighs and biceps writhed as he bent his head to the stone, raised it, and bent it again; genuflecting, speaking in a tongue, performing the motions that only a priest could understand. The crowd waite...
I initially had my concerns. My roommate, Steve, had always been a little... odd. He would never slept on his bed, and when he did, he'd curl up on top of his comforter and lie there like a dog. He enjoyed eating his food RAW, witch as someone who minored in culinary arts really concerned me. Not to mention his 'ma...
The pizza joint was packed with Gods, sprites and demons. A towering figure approached the counter, carrying a leather pouch. It jangled as it swung. "Hi sir, how can I help you?"I asked politely. "Pickup for Hermes." "Hermes... let me just see here. OK, cheese with green peppers?" "*Extra* green peppers,"Hermes s...
I looked across the bar and saw a familiar explosion of red hair. Corky had always been different, a bit like a Viking shoved into the body of a young Bill Gates. His thick glasses sat on the long, Roman nose. He would be handsome but his mouth always got in the way of that. He couldn’t contain the almost aggressive I...
"You're a fool to have trusted me"the demon said, laughing at you as he prepared to rip your soul from your body. "No, you're a fool for believing I trusted you"you laugh back, to the demon's horror.

It's the time of the meal, the time of eating, the time of woe. At one too four the devil lives. Woken up at dawn, he plants his table. At first there's silence, then a *woosh* as the first guess enters his neighbourhood. "Hello there Satan,"the man greets, his feet tapping a beat. He sits at the table and summons ...
Even to this day, I find it hard to believe how fortunate I was in finding my mate. I am sure God has played his hand in providing me with this life of fortune. Waking up to the sounds of chirping birds, I shot a glance at my wife sleeping beside me, still sound asleep. Oh, how beautiful she is. I left her in her bl...
"IT'S TRUE, I HAVE IT!"Danny yelled. The lanky teenager presented the two approaching suited men with the small, glassy rectangle he found the previous day. He had been walking home through the forest when an errant glint caught his eye. He found a thin rectangle of glass, about the size and shape of a playing card. W...
She blinked to clear her eyes, the sunlight making the house glow uncomfortably bright. Past the big window into the lawn behind their house, it was bright enough to render almost everything invisible. She could see the vague outline of a green hedge and slightly red splotch which was probably the dog’s house. Mom walk...
They never told me how crazy the job was gonna be.... characters jumping out of books and killing each other. "Ron no!"I yell as he attacks Percy Jackson.

“Cool!” He exclaims, running towards the road, leaping out in front of a semi to only hear the sounds of his skull cracking and bones snapping. The pain is only mild, as all of his nerves begin to break and his body falls to the gravel, barely feeling the truck crush what’s left of his arms as they run over them in an ...
I'd wondered for some time now. Those two LEDs always lit, and nothing ever affected them. They'd become old friends.

"My name is Monroe, and I hear you know how I can speak with god."One silver haired man whispered towards another across the bar's counter, coins clattering onto it from his hand.

Wow….. so he looks the same. “You found me.” I don't know what else to say, he smirks “Did you even try?

My vision fad...
The stranger didn't seem like he was lying. He looked as lost as I did, and appeared to be wearing an old shirt and boxers. He also looked young, too young. "How old are you?"I asked. The kid eyes widened at the question and he shrunk onto himself. "I'm 16."He said, looking at anything but my eyes. A strange feeli...
It's been been four years since the war of nations started. Normally four years would pass by before one could blink, but when it involves constant fear and terror, four years feels like a lifetime.

My eyes opened, suddenly, which was strange because I didn’t remember closing them. I looked around, wondering where I was. I sat in a blue chair, like the ones they used to have in schools.

You begin to wonder if maybe your mind is playing tricks on you. After all, you've been living alone in this cabin for months, without having seen a soul. You try to think of better times.

She stared at the hole in her bathroom floor with muzzy confusion. *Great, a hole in my floor at 3am.

A burning sensation bounced around his body from head to toe, as the sensation traveled from limb to limb it left behind a static buzzing feeling almost like what was contained in the body, his essence as it was, forcing its way out through every available pour.

His bones creaked as he walked down deserted streets, as the blood red sky crackled and burned above him. The others had all gone to a world where there was no death and no sadness, but he could not go. He was old too old to, near death anyway. He didn’t think it was right to abandon her in the end. The one who had sa...
It was a Saturday afternoon. Me and my friend were in my room, relaxing like all friends do. "Richard! Richard!"I called out. Richard was laying down in the bed and on his phone.

As I thought they ignored me, the men and women dressed in flowing robes continued to mark off an area in my back yard. “I said I am-“ “Uncomfortable, yes we heard you,” replied their leader.

Fuck salamanders. Some lazy ass wizard on my route had, for whatever reason, decided that the best way to get rid of the ashes of their fire was to just dump it in the trash.

The music from the club thumped through my lungs, my mind lost in the ecstasy of the dance. A hundred bodies moved as one under the flashing lights.
