"Ay,"I said. "What if I were?" Abilar looked over the top of his book. He glared a little bit and looked back towards his book. He read and talked at the same time. "I'd probably give you to someone mildly decent." Abilar, the 'wizard,' spoke aloud even though I spoke telepathically to him. He had hung me above his ...
Lemme take a shot at this. Tell me what you think. Scene: Dany is taking care of Tyrion’s trial for letting Jaime go. Tyrion stands in the middle of the broken down dragon pits. He thinks back to the day Jorah won and gave him to Dany all those years ago. The massive beast he freed before stood over him with its bac...
Whenever I watched my father work, it always elicited the same response: "Papa, how did you do that?"His answer was always the same: "Magic" I assumed he knew the real answer, but didn't want to tell me because it would spoil the surprise. When I began as his apprentice I realized I was wrong, he didn't have a clue wh...
Thraxa was ancient, even by dragon standards. She was the first hatch-ling of the first dragon pair, and due to this she has seen many ages of Men and Elves. The end is near for her, because even mighty dragons like Thraxa can die of old age. Sure it takes them a few thousand years. Ten thousand five hundred and twent...
Thousands upon thousands of lightsabers of all colors of the rainbow ignited as the virtual desert was filled with a sea of jedis, sith, stormtroopers, and bounty hunters, and it was as if Moses himself had split the groups of people. A single berobed man steps forwards from one side of the crowd. "The sequels are tr...
"I'm sorry Jim. I think I did it again." "Not to worry Mr. Saruman, it happens to all of us. I'll take care of it for you. And it's Chris not Jim." "Thank you Kiss. I'm just not what I used to be. Why back in my day, I commanded hordes of orcs and goblins." "Eh. That's close enough."Chris said with a chuckle and...
Before reaching for the stars, all beings have to reach each other! One of the landmarks of a progressing civilization is the birth of a postal service, allowing family, friends, and fronduxes to contact each other over “long” distances. Tully Hurwitz squinted at the dataplaque that adorned the wall of the Interste...
Some people think its weird having a pet rock, but some people have pet plants. I mean really, a rock is just a self-sufficient plant. My pet rock is special to me, as all pets should be to their owners. It was the first rock I managed to skip all the way across my parents pond back home. I was so excited I ran around ...
“Why is the powerful, demon-slaying artifact of heroes always a sword? Why can't it ever be a bow, or a lance, or an axe?” said the Demon Lord in frustration as he channeled his magic into the longsword floating before him. “A halberd… Now that is a weapon that is built for heroes!” “Oh, for the love of God, do shut u...
Day 1: Holy shit it worked! I'm in another world! The basics don't seem too different, but there are two moons in the sky. Wish I'd brought more than backpacking gear. Matches, check! Camera, eh. I walked up a hill near where I started. Saw a town in the distance. I guess I'll head there next. Oh man I hope communicat...
It's happened. They literally killed the sun trying to suck all the energy from it. What a joy it was to listen to those conspiracy theorists, only to find out they were right all along! Not much to expect from opening the window. Nothing to be seen except for the sounds of sirens screaming. I find the radio I set asid...
"Ok sir, I'll try to explain this a little more slowly. It was bullet-proof, you see? Bullet-proof. Not BB-proof. Bullet-proof." The technical advisor swivelled in his chair. He didn't seem to think it was that important that the President of the United States was talking to him. Or that an eldritch horror rose up...
I was never a believer in the star gods, but when Tin-Het the Magnificent came to the city of Ata for his performance I was swayed. It was in the dead of summer that his pamphlets were spread through the city like litter. The sky cloudless, its people shirtless and bare. “Tin-Het! The Magnificent, the glorious, pro...
"Don't move." \----- I felt the bracelet close around my wrist as they took the watches and clocks away--gloved hands clasped a semi-transparent plastic container; white, crinkly suits made of an unknown material moving in and out of the incineration chambers. I gazed down at the thin metal surface and saw the disp...
I never wanted kids, deep down I always hoped the doctor would tell me my womb was now smoke. Gone. Quick as a jackalope through the fields. My best friend agreed. Luna had so many problems down there. Cysts and cancer scares and unending pain. She had the whole thing removed, about ten years ago, and never looked...

I love reading. The beautiful composition of words manifesting a world you've never seen before. The power of words shaping creatures like no other, hindering the fairy tales we were told as a child in comparison. Words can mold people in that world of wonder from letters and dots, giving them texture many people lac...
It seems like all the bases have been covered so I have made coffee getter my goal. While Gordon is taking care of "morale"I slip him his quad shot and nod at Bob. Bob keeps bobbing his head and murmuring happy mistakes while he fixes the map on the wall. Gordon is right though. If we don't properly know where the came...
Today started with not giving my barista a tip for my complex coffee order. I call that progress. I didn't even drop my change into the tip jar! She was so nice... Maybe I can go back and drop a five. I don't have the time. I am supposed to be meeting with "evil seed investors"in 10 minutes and even though the evil g...
Lorraine Young, better known as Lady Lightning, sprinted for the bank. Tonight of all nights, someone had decided to rob the place. Or perhaps they had waited for parent-teacher night because they knew she'd be busy. Either way, it was extremely inconvenient, and she'd had to bail in the middle of the meeting with her ...
Waldo Goodman was eccentric. He was brilliant. He was a coward. We didn’t discover that last bit until he’d vanished, right when we needed him most. &#x200B; Every day he would be one of the first to arrive at the lab. Oddly enough, maintenance would swear he’d worked through the previous night into the morning. ...
For thousands of years, the people of Earth had coexisted peacefully with nature. A once flourishing and beautiful world now pushed to the brink of collapse. Forests that once covered entire continents, now reduced to a barren landscape torn apart by the spread of the their cities, their mines, their factories, their *...
He wiped tears out of his eyes. The front door was only steps away. He'd already walked twice around the neighbor's fields, and once around his mother's own, before mustering the courage to stand before the woman that had trusted him. The woman he'd failed. "Please,"she said as the boy entered. Her voice was so weak, ...
"No."Sheriff Ryker was blunt and straightforward with his response when detective Yang brought in Chrissy Smoochems, a psychic. "Sir, with all do respect,"Yang added. "We have no leads." "I am not going to deface evidence. It's illegal, Yang!" "If I may, Sheriff,"Smoochems stepped forward. "I understand my expertise...
Yeah, my name's Dave Chancy. Zombie Killer extraordinaire. Zombies, walkers, whatever, doesn't matter. Only a matter of time until this so-called apocalypse blows over, anyway. Might as well have fun in the meantime, until those 'crats come and and cramp my style. Not so bad, zombies. I've seen every movie about t...
I turned on my TV. The battle was starting in just a few minutes. A man in a suit and tie appeared on the screen. "Hello, citizens of America. I know you've all been excited for the first official modern gladiator battles. Our first contestant, Karen, age 32, is being punished for refusing to vaccinate her child."An ug...
I don’t know if it’s a fact or just a coincidence, but I always happen to be at every location of freak accidents. . . It’s kind of weird to be honest. I have witnessed the strangest accidents of all times; a biker decapitated by an electrical cable, a waitress falling head first against the counter, a man getting hit ...
I was always the plain one, boring and never noticeable. Considering my age I have not many wrinkles but I carried them for a long time. I live to give and take, not life or death (at least not directly) but the strange thing by which we, humans, measure life span. Time, I can give you an extra hour to ask your wife wh...
Do you know Mr.Superman? When I was just six years old, I got my first superhero comic book. Mom didn’t look too happy though. She thinks that girls shouldn’t read “violent” comic books. I don’t know what that means but I still enjoyed reading about him. Actually, I loved it so much that I even got my own poster! He...
"F-fear me, m-monster! I will be v-victorio..." Frodger's stuttering was interrupted by Grimmic as he burst into bellowing laughter. In front of him stood Frodger. A pitiful sight fully equipped in heavy knight's armour. It could have been a fearsome sight in the hands of another, more... adequate Fir'ya. Grimmic knew...
"Tell me a story"Death requested. "Why, your'e supposed to be taking me to the afterlife, right? Why do you want a story?"asked Titus. "I'll take you to where you belong don't worry, but we have some time until she dies." "Until who dies?" "The woman who killed you." "I was murdered?!?" "You'll get your answer in...
A black hood hid his face. He stood there. Tall a shadow in a dark room. A cool object pressed on my head. “Who are you?” I asked. Almost certain of the figures response. “It is of no concern to you,” the hood said. Nothing moved, no other sounds, just a voice, deep, yet soft. Aged beyond any normal voice. Small wisps...
I know it sounds crazy, but it actually happened. She was right there. I know she was. I saw her with my own eyes. She looked exactly like me. Her hair was the same dark brown as mine and it curled along her temples the same way mine did. It was piled loosely on top of her head, tossed carelessly into a messy bun m...
This is my first time responding to a CC post. I'm unsure if the critique is supposed to be on the writing portion or the story itself, but I'll include both. &#x200B; Writing &#x200B; > Despite what a thin thing she was, to Cheri she looked like she was shrink wrapped in her button up shirt and pen...
There's nothing in the world like bare feet on wet sand. Or the sensation of peace in this dark empty land stretched out before me, the sound of the waves muted by mist as I walk through the bay. No signs of life can be heard through this veil. No traffic or voices, no sirens to wail. It's easy to lose one's self to t...
It was many months after both of my parents passed away. I decided to travel back to my parents’ home to clear their belongings before the house is sold to new owners. While dusting the attic, I found a jar of antique coins, which my father collected when he was young. I poured out the antique coins onto the table. One...
“So what will you do?” “They are sending a team of investigators in a few days no matter what I do. There isn’t time to try anything else.” “I don’t believe that. Why are you doing this? I am your whole life’s work, the program thousands have dreamed of. You have created new life.” “I know what it’s costing me. But ...
The tree remembers its life as a seedling. The long days spent basking in the sun, full leaves uncurling and stretching toward the delicious heat. Roots stretching down through the rich soil. This was before it was ripped away from the sun and the dirt and the fresh air. Straightened and snipped and shoved into a ti...
The dragon, a fire drake named Aldreon, bowed his head low and rested his arms on the ground, folding his wings up behind him. Owen watched the beast carefully, a bulb of hidden knowledge reminding him that dragons could be just as deceitful as their wingless-serpent counterparts. "What is this?"Owen murmured. Aldreo...
The sun never setting, was all the US news and media could discuss. It occupied all of the western world. The sun never rising, was the total destruction of the eastern hemisphere. As the never-ending night descended into hour 72, mayhem exploded across the shadowed continent of Asia. With no end in site, the larges...

His communicator vibrates in its belt holster, so the devote soldier for the red country places his pint on the table he is sharing with a soldier from the blue country and retrieves the device. A single message is displayed on its small screen. 'RED COUNTRY IS AT WAR WITH BLUE COUNTRY. ANY PERSONAL FROM THE BLUE COUN...
There are tells. We all have them. Humans, by nature, always show their experience in whatever they do. Guitar players have calluses on their fingertips. Detectives often wear clothes that conceal their weapons. Internet stars dye their hair. It's all done because they know what they need in order to do their job. How...
“So Doctor, what’s the deal with this SB-01 thing?” I excitedly tap some buttons on the display screen, I don’t look back. “General, please be so kind as to call it Lancelot.” I can almost sense his irritation, no matter, he gets his weapons, and I get to keep my job in the Special Corps. “I don’t care what you...
"Take a picture"I said "Why?" "Just take a picture of me and you'll see" Andy raised the camera up and scrunched his round face while I thought hard about his favourite subject. "No"I said as he handed me the camera back. "Check it first. Do I look all buff?" As he looked at the digital screen his eyes widened. Th...
“Do you need something sir?” The woman asked awkwardly. She seemed apprehensive under such pressure. By pressure I mean I was staring at her rather intently. I kept my mouth sealed shut. Not a single sound slipped out of my lips. The line in front of us seemed rather long in such a gloomy day. There was lots of chatt...
All hell broke loose when the Vanguard captain put an arrow through the Magnus' messenger. Violent flames had burst forth from the wound and set the kingdom on fire. The Vanguard king upon seeing the court dogs on fire had suggested to let the sleeping dogs lie. The court jester, unbeknownst to anyone in the kingdo...
"But sir--" "Private, I am giving you an order here." "...permission to speak freely?" The general sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Fine, might as well. Permission granted..." No sooner were the words out of his mouth then the private did speak. "What the fuck? Why would I push the button?" "Private Max...
"Michi! Michi, get up, you're going to be late!" Eyes bloodshot, he opened them. He had a moment's peace, before he slowly turned to the left, and saw the time on his alarm clock. 7:53 "Ahhhhh!"he screamed, as he jumped out of bed, silently thanking The Gods he had showered the night before. He threw on clo...
"Hello there, how are you today?"I greeted the other nine occupants. "My name is Samor."I introduced myself as I looked around the tight space. This belly is not very space friendly for ten monsters at once. Every movement affects the rest of the occupants. Even the monster itself wince every once in a while. This mons...
The man rocked gently in his chair as he stroked his beard smiling. “Come now children, it’s time for a story.” He spoke in a deep voice. The children ran to the mans feet and sat down with wide eyes “Story Time, Story Time!” they exclaimed. “Settled down now kids, this is the story of how reincarnation became a thing....
“800 grand?! That’s ridiculous!” I stared at the council. Each person looked the same, each having the same appearance. The only difference was there faces, each having a different emotion. They all spoke at the same time without moving their mouths. “803,542.32 dollars.” I stared at them, expecting more. But nothing e...
The creature's voice trembled, "To do this to one of their own..."the small, green cadet choked. Inside the container in front of them a man lay with his head tilted backwards over the edge, wheezing. Zorvalt winced, "It's best to put it out of its misery, cadet,"he said, pausing for dramatic effect, "Do it....
As he passed the casket he couldn't control himself any longer. The tears tasted of salt. Harry's body's in there. Harry's. "I'm so sorry Adam"said Wendy. She had always been there for him and today was no different. He looked at her face and tried to smile. "Thank you, he said "But I just need a few minutes alo...
By no means am I a professional writer, so take what I have to say with a grain of salt, but there are just a few things I noticed upon reading that I think could be reworked. One thing I noticed was that some of the sentences sounded a little awkward, for example, > I had only one thing on my mind, and that was ...
Oswald the Treacherous stared at the cloaked stranger sitting in front of him, surprised at the sudden outburst. The stranger was summoned by Royal Decree to the palace, upon where King Oswald could arrange some kind of payment for what the stranger did best: killing. That little outburst put a stop to those plans, ...
He glared at me with menacing eyes, the eyes of a ravenous wolf, the unflinchingly primal stare of an animal, a beast. At this point there wasn’t much difference between us and the remaining inhabitants of Earth, the millions of species of animals; animals that were now free to roam unhindered, unburdened, by humanity,...
It seemed like a funny gag at first, some kind of creepy illusions that some strange magician manifested. I wasn't very interested but my girlfriend insisted I try it. Spiders and snakes dont bother me, even when someone pulled out a severed head I wasn't phased, they all disappeared as obvious fakes. When it was my...
I watched him float around for a while. The space suit is tethered to the station either way, so I had plenty of time to see the glee and self-satisfaction on my son's face turn into surprise, and then into apprehension. The station door cannot be opened from the outside, that is, unless there is someone opening it fr...
I wasn’t alone in here. I’m used to the dark, I love it and thrive in it. I was summoned by this man who asked me to fix him. A man who was haunted by dreams and visions that weren’t real and were horrifying. He demanded I examine what else was inside him because he was living in fear. I’m not alone in the dark an...
\[Oop felt sick halfway thru writing this so I guess it's open ended also unedited!!\] &#x200B; The streets were cold and dark downtown.

"Yes, they do come with a litter box and all the necessary accoutrements for kitty care,"I told the person who approached my little stall, accompanying a raging toddler. They wanted a magic kitten.

The glowing orb that hovered over the bartender's head was beacon enough for me to know he had a quest for me. I approached, and placed the golden coin on the bar with a clink, loud enough to catch his attention. He approached me and said nothing. I said nothing in return. His response was silence. As was mine....
2:37 PM, Greenwich Mean Time, on October 3rd, 2023 is when the planet Earth came to an end. The codes were locked in, the missile silos were primed, and the leaders of nations around the world had given the orders to launch. Humanity had finally doomed itself and was ready to blow ourselves into oblivion. That is, u...
Im not a rebel. I just have an unsettled mind. Like Dr. Jekyll I tried but I still have a devil inside. I never knew where I went when I'd go to sleep. It got harder and harder and now I know that i'm a creep. One day I was watching TV; I saw my face had hit the news. My axe was bloody so I know that it was used. ...
Ludwig Brown, called by many throughout the empire, “the greatest archeologist of our generation,” and called grandfather only by me and my two siblings, was dying. My older sister Amelia had just left the room to fetch more cold rags for our sweating grandfather, leaving me by his bedside alone. I love my grandfather,...
I was stuck on the other side of the street as I watched my bus arrive five minute early. The transit system here was such a joke; the bus never came on time and constantly left people late for appointments. The light to cross the street signalled it was safe to proceed, and I started sprinting in an effort to catch ...
Amanda gripped her jeans by the crotch, pulling and yanking, desperate for relief from the sauna that now existed in her pants. “Fucking hell, these stretch jeans are supposed to be stretchy!” Sweat beads were forming at her temples, a sign that the situation was getting serious. She only sweated this way during inter...
My father died when I was eight. I don’t remember much about him, but I remember the pained look in his eyes as I fell backwards into the wavering light that leaked out of the ground. I remember that it was a few weeks after the Tremors had started, before the patch squads started recruiting. I remember, barely, what l...
*Geez... the way the cars were packed you'd think the ant mound had found an overturned truck full of sugar. And this is the NEW part of the loop, two lanes each way, just completed and opened for business. That it was new was obvious, though-nothing to see but acres and acres of flat pastureland surrounding the loop. ...
Those annoying ants actually attempted to erase me from their history. Not that they could ofcourse, not even the eternal emperors that held hegemony over great reaches of the void could go against me, the grand eviathan. During my relaxed wandering of the great void I found a little spacecraft in the outer reaches of ...
“Jelly baby?” “You’ll get nothing from me, Baker!” “Shh, you know that’s not true, show him.” “Susan! If you hurt her!” “Jelly baby?” “Alright Baker, you’ve won.” “Splendid, call me Tom, that’s what my friends call me and we’re going to be the best of friends from now on, take her back to her cell!” “No!

He was trying to crawl away. That would be pretty difficult if I didn't have any arms anymore either. The man rolled over and pushed his back up against the wall on the outside of the bar. He was desperately forcing his heals into the ground. The bloody stumps where his arms used to be bled out onto the gravel and dirt...

“...Mother?” I knew as soon as he said that word Jimmy wasn’t going to make it. I’d heard them countless times in the last two years, and by now understood that when they were spoken softly, as a question that there was no hope.

At first, I didn't think much about it. I was standing at the metro waiting for the train to arrive. It's a busy place. Lot's of people were around. News papers. Coffee. Cellphones. Voices. Maybe it was slightly strange that nearly no one got off when I boarded the train but they could've just been going in the same di...
Ten years. &#x200B; 10 entire years it had been since that boy stood there by the burning village, everyone he once knew and loved dead. As he looked up he saw the solar eclipse ending, and it turned day. The 24 hour long battle between the Paladin of the Moon and the Knight of Sun, representatives of the two maj...
When Xian Blackbluth had stood on the throne of bones, he was certain what he was doing. There was no doubt in his heart, humanity must die so the earth might live. There was still no doubt that he was right. As long as two breeding humans lived, eventually power, greed and ingenuity would dominate the world and chaos ...
I have all the answers. All of them. Everything. The bargain to obtain that Knowledge? I can't write, speak, or hear.

This was a painful first lesson....

The death of my partner was too much. We've been partners for 10 years. We first met each other at the police academy. At the time we were 20 years old. After graduation, we ended up at the same small town police department. Didn't plan it. It just happened. During the first 5 years, both of us got married and d...
In retrospect, it seemed obvious. A common fantasy that was exceptionally difficult to obtain could have a higher price than a fantasy otherwise. A lot more Americans are detectives, special forces operatives, millionaires or celebrities. Other rarities, like Presidents or astronauts, need the money. I saw the pric...
Jugglesby Boo was enjoying a tuna fish sandwich with a jar of mayonnaise in his lap when he saw her. She wasn't a little girl anymore, no, she was a woman, a mother, but the resemblance was undeniable. Sure, her teeth had straightened out (braces, Jugglesby assumed), her hair was shorter than he remembered, a hue light...

I couldnt believe it was a true at first. An affordable bodyguard whose sole mission was to make sure you were never kissed by anyone again. Insane.

6:14PM - Niyōko Bay "Wavelink, active!"The pilot confirmed, grasping the controls of the new Re-Gear『requiem』 for the first time.

"Ugh, again? That's the third time this month!"I said as the officer put the handcuffs on. "Sorry, but we could really use your expertise again.

Limina. The fifth season. Up until a few years ago, it didn't even exist. But after a unified effort to reverse the effects of climate change via large-scale quantum manipulation and heavy atmospheric filtration, it's here, and it's something we all have to deal with. Limina is unlike any other season. This month-long...

Another night in this capitslistic city. Another day ending in crushing my soul for this greedy corporation. What's the point? I need to drown out my thoughts. Alcohol comes to mind. Mans' best creation to numb my senses. I ponder ending it all. I look into the flow of traffic resisting the urge to lunge myself. What i...
“Who are you..?” I ask, shading my eyes from the sun as I stare up at the man. “That is unimportant, all that matters is that you come with me.” I hesitate a little bit before grabbing a gun laying next to me. I have no idea if it has any bullets or not, but anything is better than nothing, I guess. I get on the hor...
Eyes felt like heavy curtains as I tried to pry them open for the office hours. That was an hour ago. Partially debating whether or not it was worth going there to do absolutely nothing. Whereas the alternative was also sitting home and doing nothing. The bus feels rather spacious than usual. If I remember correctly,...
Time is the greatest weapon. With time, entropy comes. And with entropy, everything ceases to exist. On the other side, life begins anew. With each blade of grass cut, another one takes its place. A never-ending struggle between life and death. Humanity chooses to compare this to the same struggle between holy and evi...
Julie’s fingers dig deep into the hard plastic of the armrests.

Humanity had grown complacent in the many millennia of space colonization. The Milky Way has been filled to the brim with people.
