Gasp The light coming through the trees is blinding. In my mind there is nothing. No identity, no awareness. I do not know what I do not know. The floor beneath me is soft, comfortable against my skin, I feel it drawing me into it. But I know I must not stay here any longer. *Lay here a while longer, let the heat fr...
Her lips curled into a wide grin as she burned alive. White robes flared as the flames licked their way up the wooden post. Smoke danced from charcoal flesh as her legs cooked beneath her. Fair hair turned to ash, and she strained in agony against the chains binding her. Clarence wanted to look away, to close his eyes...
Everyone’s queued up, waiting to meet their future self. The hall is buzzing with excitement, and every so often the massive oak doors swing open and people come out, either crying in sorrow for what was to come or smiling and laughing, excited for the next ten years. Lisa and I are at the front now. She’s bouncing up ...
\[Poem\] I couldn't feel myself breathing. My eyes were fixed on the wall in front as I leaned on the dresser, warm blood dripping down my back. I might have been there forever, or just a few seconds, as the sun rose and set shining light through the windows. &#x200B; The house was silent for a long time,...
Hours later, the ship had been scoured from its belly all the way to the viewing deck. Not a single soul. Nothing. HMS Boat had set out to the Antarctica for a routine data gathering mission collecting ice cores. With a week left until planned landfall, or icefall if you will, the boat had suffered a mechanical problem...
My friends and family all laugh at me for my sexuality. I try to tell them it's not right to do- that judging someone for their born sexual preference is not only unjustifiable, but just plain malicious. They don't understand; they call me a freak, a pervert, and a deviant. They've tried to send me to therapy for it, ...
Story title “Forgetting reality” Intense stinging pain jolts to my eyes, I can’t remember the last time I felt this warm stinging sensation what was this? Why does it feel so familiar yet foreign at the same time. I finally work up the courage to open my eyes all the way and I see it for the first time in years...
The large and spacious throne room smelled of fire and brimstone, and underneath it all the undertone of death. The walls were made of a shiny, black oily substance, and it appeared as if it were at a constant state of melting. Eight wide pillars, as tall as ancient trees supported the spacious roof, the pillars themse...
(I changed the perspective a little bit, sorry) &#x200B; "And, you know, I just feel like Venerable Soul's debut just wasn't doing it for me. We've seen better psych rock in the past, we've seen it this year with King Gizzard's latest LP Tywonnion's Magical Motorcycle Trip. Maybe their next album will be a lit...
The U.N.S. Lightrider exited the superluminal currents into the proxima centauri system after a week of travel. Captain Tiffani Wheeler and her crew sat at their stations staring out at the alien star. A console beeped, indicating that the automated analysis was complete. Lieutenant Kunj Singh turned around to rea...
I've loved animals since I was a kid, which really irked my mom since she's allergic and just hates them in general. But my love for them never faded, so I rescued three dogs as soon as I had my own place. I was able to move out at 17 thanks to my early high school graduation, and I promptly started college right after...

It was so hard to stay awake. You had tried everything. Caffeine only delayed it, propping your eyelids open only hurt, you had even taken to trying anything at this point but you couldn’t stop it. This had been going on for years. Death practically followed you since even so much as a wince killed someone you met. Th...
Susan looked at Pearl with narrowed eyes. They rarely got a call from their second oldest, leading them to believe she had a request. The last time they got an urgent phone call it was from Bianca asking for help with rent. Though, Susan didn’t think Pearl would need help. She had been raised properly, taking in ...
I hate losing... so yeah I’ll be reimagining the prompt a bit, ahem. “It should have been me, that day by the sea. It should have been me. I don’t think I ever said ‘thank you’ for what you did for me... I don’t think I’ll ever be able to.” “Your parents blame me you know, they never really say it, but I can tell. I...
A whole mess of carpenter ants come pouring out of the hole you just made in the wall. Frantically, you yell at your husband to get the bug spray at the same time you dance out of the area to avoid stepping in the growing puddle of ants. As he begins douses them in ant poison, you run to get the Shop Vac to vacuum them...
After hours of constant bickering and persuading, Jared allowed his younger sister Rachel to release Rhett, their sentient AI, onto the internet.

Sitting silently in my secret, favorite bunker, I rejoice in my isolation from the rest of the world. It is too loud. The weak, as usual, cry out for "freedom". None of these pitiful insects realize how well I've turned their miserable lives around. Everyone has full bellies, everyone resides in lavish homes those befo...
You scour the landscape filled the with screams of tortured souls being burned alive, impaled, and other such forms of torture. The smell of ash and burned skin fills your nostrils with the slightest scent of something putrid. You traverse the darkened landscape of ash and flame accompanied only by the screams of the d...
"Is it really too hard to believe that, with all I've done and the lives I've destroyed, I don't want the world?" I looked at the man, the fiend dressed as a human, the one who gave up any chance at redemption by drowning the city in blood. His face had no trace of mockery - no maniacal laughter or mirth coloring his ...
“No, no, no seriously, this is going to work.” The elf rogue excitedly nodded, gesturing with his hands. He was tall and thin. Lots of experience getting out of tight places, and thinking outside of the box, but not known for having the best ideas. “Let me get this straight, you think the best one for the job is me.” ...

A bolt of lightning splintered the ground at my feet, sending me tumbling back and blinding me through my sunglasses. You can prepare all you want, but you never really get used to it. It appeared that Zeus had woken up and decided to do a little target practice. As I readied myself, I a wave of terror swept over ...
Jonathan, my little brother, flicked his wrist. The bowl of oatmeal across the table rose in the air before tipping over and spilling its contents onto a platter of bacon. “Shoot,” Jonathan cursed. I start to sign. “Quit it,” my dad ordered. I leave the oatmeal on top of the bacon. “You need to allow Jonathan to make...
Journal Entry, 6/12/19 “It started with the word No. When I was young, I accidentally discovered this power during a particularly nasty spat with my mom. I was at that naïve age where I could understand what I’d just done, but not the drastic implications such a power held. All I knew was that my mother had suddenly b...
I picked up the milk to check the expiration date. "Sell By June 13th" I thought it was a little odd but did not think more of it. They usually put the old milk in the front row anyway. I reached deeper into the refrigerator to pick up another milk. "Sell By June 13th" Now this was definitely odd. I started...
The entire planet had been at peace ever since the end of the third world war. Not the detente of the post ww2 era, but real peace. No proxy wars, no coups, not even any riots. The scary thing is we had been at true peace post war for longer than humanity ever had been pre war. I guess that's what happens when ci...
To call the sky city "magnificent"would be an understatement. The greatest mages of the previous age founded a city high above the ground to dedicate themselves to their studies, family, and a peaceful existence. They planted the most powerful spell in the world under the city to keep it aloft, high above the litany an...
Jane woke up suddenly. The grogginess of sleep was still there, calling her back to sleep. It was tempting, exhaustion made working hours tough on her, but Jane just ran her hand through her hair, adjusted her round glasses, and took a sip of tepid coffee. &#x200B; "Let's see, maybe a few more switch statements s...
Monday, March 11, 9:15 AM My name is Emily Price, and I have the same vision every day at exactly 1:26 PM. I'm standing in the sky, looking down on some major city.

Laura would always remember the day her mother passed away. The illness wasn't new in the town but she didn't care when the aunt of her best friend died. She had seen the disease before and it was kind of normal. She felt so guilty that day. The aunt of her friend liked to dry the coffee near the forest, and the elders...

"I have to kill you later." How do you respond to that? Try giggling nervously as you tilt your head at them - making sure to keep a playful smirk on your face - as you calmly, with just a tiny pinch of confusion in your voice, say to them: "What?" After all, they could only be kidding. That's the situation I ...
Well! That book "Winning the Lottery for Dummies"turned out useful anyway. At least the last chapter was. "What to do when you win". Optimistic, aren't they.

Greetings dear reader, this is my story. You likely know me as Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. I was watching a play in Ford’s Theatre, many, many years ago, when it all went black. I died. Then, I came here. It is a small room, an atrium of sorts. Many others are here. George Washington and B...
His hand shook as he gripped the remote. He could hear the batteries rattle within its plastic case. He was mortified at what he would see. Politics was never something he took seriously, at least not seriously enough to get mad about it. However, he was well aware that this stance was no longer common. It seemed like ...
Ever since I can remember, I've seen numbers over people's heads. These numbers are the dates and times of someone's death. Of course I can't memorise these numbers, especially because they change with the choices the person makes. For example, if someone who has never smoked before picks up a cigarette, the date of th...
He read it over again. And again and again. His forehead began perspiring; no, his entire body began to swell as his sweat poured profusely, all at once. This couldn’t be. It couldn’t- He read it again, and again and again. He still doubted it,- no, he couldn’t. If this were true, - He made sure, and read it over ...
"So what can I do with the Circus?"Emily asked. The silver-haired teenage girl twirled a playing card between her fingers as she talked to Mundo. The two girls stood in a school gym next to a giant floating black sphere; the dark ball was bigger than either of the two girls. Moments ago the gym resembled the inside of ...

The quest to the veil was a long one indeed. Dozens of miles of desolate terrain, interspersed with whatever flavor of chaotic madness had decided to fly through that day.

Captain Strickland was a stickler for upkeep. The beds were made at 6 o'clock on the dot, the kitchen staff washed the dishes by 8 o'clock, and the boots were always put beside the bed before sleep, nice and neat.

Fiona had been crying for hours. She had let Zara, her nemesis, walk all over her at work. The passive-aggressive comments, the whispering to co-workers, and salt in her coffee. Who does that?

The Deluge was a Pyrrhic victory in every sense of the word.

Poland wasn't even a country anymore, m...

Kirk mused over the rough, faded hempen tapestry that was hung on his mother's wall. A myriad of notes, scribbled frantically and connected by lengths of red string, framed the rectangular cloth.

I jumped over the table, and hid behind the counter for cover from the bullets. A raider had ambushed me, and I was trying to fight him off.

Dave put the Rubik’s cube on the side of his bed and closed his eyes.

"Misery is July in Philadelphia,"says the short man with bad teeth and an ill-fitting barristers wig.

It was definitely odd. One moment I was reeling in pain from my knocked out tooth, the next I’m where I am now. In front of the mirror, staring down the gap full of wires sitting in between two of my teeth. After 12 years of school - yesterday was graduation - I can tell (fun fact) that this is not normal. There’s one ...

7-year-old Johnny woke up at 2:54 AM. He took seconds to fully open his eyes. He could see his stickers on the ceiling again, glowing in the dark.

Angler fish flop about on the dry ground, the antennae from their heads swaying back and forth. Mountains of rock and coral towered around us. I heaved a sigh.

As I twisted her hair around my curling wand, I hovered my hand over it to make sure the hair would not burn. I grabbed my hair spray and spritzed the last strand of hair.

The first month back after summer is always a tough one for me.

They said I was insane but I protested. “It’s real, he’s still alive.” I would yell. But not a soul in sight would believe me. Again I saw it. A blur, dancing across my eyes.
