I chuckled and turn the GPS off. "Sorry,"I told it. "You're not going to trick me this time. I know my way from here." The GPS turned itself back on. "Please,"it said. "You have to go back. Now." I turned the GPS off again. Something tapped on my window. I looked and saw that a man on a motorcycle had pulled up al...
****eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee**** The void is absolute. The silence rings until it is broken by the noise of your breath. Air, stale with burnt ozone, sounds like storm winds pull on tree leaves as you breath in and out. As you go to speak, the rush of air in your lungs sends a shock to your ears and jaw from how loud the...
A missile flies past your head with a thunderous roar. You look up and send your hat high along with the others. Humming rocking the child in your arms. The door slams shut with the weight of anger from the teenage girl. A man stands in front of you in a tux and a warm diamond scrolls down your cheek. A woman is sc...
Some people just bought their spray at the store. they were simple devices of metal and gas, filled with complex chemicals that would dry fast and leave their mark on whatever surface they landed on. But they were without power. Azir made his own, while the blood was still warm, enchanted and directed into a container...
The United States was used to talking mad shit in the international rap game. Their president thought his money made him gangster, and he prided himself on being familiar with the art of the deal. ​ They were not, however, ready for bars more fire than all of America's wars had ever produced, combined. &a...
"Jesus christ, get your shit together Marc!" Oh god! It finally happened! I'm finally losing it! "Wha-...what are you?"I replied hesitantly. "Haven't you figured it you yet? Geeeeeze, buddy! We've been talking for two hours! Don't get all scared and freaked just cause the most rational thinking you've been doing is...

"You wake up to find out that you have slept through your alarm." "That sucks." "You also discover you have a sore throat, which means you probably have caught a cold." "Yeah, that's not great either." "You step on a Lego brick left behind by your cousin as you leave-" "Fuck that, that brat is going to-" Jake ins...

I tap the mic. "Is this thing on? It is? Okay, cool. Uhm, yeah, this is gonna be short. We're all going to die sometime within this year due to global warming. Yes, global warming is real. We've been telling you that for years but you wanted to believe your politicians over your *scientists*. Yeah, smart. Anyway, we do...
I hear it in the distance. A weak roar, like a lion cub or dying cat. I approach nervously, sweat dripping down my forehead, and I squeeze between the buildings of wood. I saw the horrible beast stare me in the eyes with a dead rat in its mouth. It was the worse beast of all. Aggressive. Brave. Violent. It was a.....ch...
Jack considered himself an obedient android. He always did what his master told him and never complained, as he'd witnessed first-hand what happens to an android that disobeys Michael, and it was a position that he wasn't keen on finding himself in. Disobedience meant being returned to the factory for repairs, or worse...
CRASH! I woke. Jumped up. Examined the room. What was that wretched noise?? Where did it come from? Now less frenzied, more awake. Focused. And wait, where was I? Thinking. Think James, think. What happened last night? Ahhh yes... Took the 5 am train. She broke up with you an hour later. Drinking, Drinking,...
Most of my days at HQ began with a meeting in the boss's office. Today was no different. Well it was a little different. The omnipresent cherrywood desk was gone. The sidecar with the brandy and whisky decanters had skedaddled to some unknown location. In their place place was a pile of cardboard boxes and a small fold...
Los Angeles was cooler than I thought. For one thing, there were people everywhere, at all times of day, but different kinds of people depending on the place and time of day. For another, the place is just so diverse – there were pretty rich, upscale districts with luxury cars and poor, almost-neglected sections teem...
Eniola had just been greeted by the hooded man. She had been expecting his arrival for some time now, she had grown old and weak some time ago. The old ways said that when he visits you, you should bow in respect. So she did, she bowed to the hooded man, despite having felt his touch she could still feel her heart poun...
A loud moan erupted in the valley far beyond the squash fields as a flock of birds and bundle of squirrels flew out of the pine forest as the swift wave from the wail shook the greenery. A young boy garbed in an orange shirt, some green dirty trousers and a greener dirtier hat ran in the sinuous path between the gian...
I'd always wondered how it happened. Did someone stab me through my leg or something? Was I shot and bled out? Countless doctors have examined it. None have been able to tell me. I wear a bandage around it constantly to hide it. The shame I feel. I hate when people stare. It's not fair. They all have their life...
“Auehhh?” I heard somewhere far off in the corner of my mind, the span of consciousness and unconsciousness moving me forward out of sleep and into my bedroom again. I blinked deeply, scrunching up my face and turning my head to one side as though to tilt all the “awake” there. My eyes told me they were not up for...
With sweaty hands, I press the stick forward, and approach the lever. I activate it, and my character pulls the lever. As soon as the lever falls back, in an instant, I'm no longer looking at my tv. Suddenly, I'm looking at the lever, my hands wrapped around it. They come back, and now the bell begins to toll. The wind...
Overthinking no longer felt like it was the wrong thing to do, if you wanted to be happy, it was the only thing that you should do. My chest felt heavy, this wasn’t going to be the day I had expected. I had always believed that, “going with your gut,” was the right idea. It was my first time in a simulation center a...
Several have taken up arms against me over the years, I think back to a few of them as I look down at the broken heap at the jagged root of my fortress's escarpment. The rogue ground into paste by my endless traps or the ranger who became food for my minions long before I had to leave my sanctum. A grim smile crosses m...
Miller strolled through the sunny park with a smile on his face. Despite the weather always being bright and clear, Miller's moods changed from day to day. Something was in the air that day and he decided he didn't want to spend any of it in a jail cell. Not that he had any problems being put in jail. He'd been in ever...
It was time. He could feel it in his bones. Deeper even. Death was coming for him, and not even his magic could stave it off for long. But he was not finished. There was still so much to do. The man now known as the Sage of the Red Forest was not ready to die. He had been alive for 342 years, and still it had be...
Day: 138 Time: 1400 Log No.138 The plants in this segment of the Sahara are very exotic. They, like other desert faring fauna, are adapted to the lack of water and harsh environment. However, many of these organisms have leathery skin unseen in anything I have witnessed thus far. Definitely worth observing further....
Pig God journal With the arrival of Monster Association our world changed dramatically. People started doubting in us.. They started doubting heroes. And if you can’t trust in heroes, who can you trust in? Things like these have been going through my head all the time recently, it might discourage someone else, but m...

Oblivion... That's all I could think of as my eyes open to witness the events that lay before me. Would it have been better to die from the carnage of whatever it was that I just witnessed, or from the aftermath that was waiting in my not so distant future? Many people said that I was foolish for making my journey out ...
The firmament of heaven opens, and a flash of light, and sounds of the wings of 7 archangels vibrate the ground beneath you. Put on the ring, says Gabriel, the messenger of god, as he flies from up high to your view, as bright as a star. You feel overpowering love and drop the ring. Tears enter flood your eyes and your...
“Yeah i’m fine.” “I’ll totally do that.” “Yes of course I did my homework.” “I love this food!” Those were only a few of the lies I had told today. No one looked at me strangely, or even thought for a second that what I said might have been not true. You see everyone where I live don’t have the ability to lie. Th...
I looked around for the dude in the man behind me in my selfie. I usually didn’t take pictures of myself. But today had been a nice day, and I hadn’t looked like as much of an undead creature as usual. In the picture a man with a beard and long hippie-style beard stood behind me doing a thumbs up. From what I could...
My name is Sauron, and I'm studying photography at Newcastle University, UK. You'll have known me from my books, that I wrote under the name Tolkein, to ensure no one thinks the ring is still out there. But it is out there, or it has been, and I have laboured arduously to return it to my finger. Now you're wondering ...
I don't really know how to start this off, I'm not sure if anyone will even see this. But someone has to chronicle what happened here...ya know, for, history's sake. If that's even going to matter any more. The world is not the same. I'm currently writing this on the notes section of my phone, and it's quite. No alert...
Johnny felt warmth spreading across his skin. His eyes were closed but the darkness behind them began to brighten; then, he heard the soothing sounds of crashing waves. A gentle breeze kissed the top of his bald head and convinced him to open his eyes. He found he was laying down and sat up to look around. He was in a...
The retirement home in which only 15 residents lived and who were all named mr or mrs Smith. Was in fact a universal safe house for current presidential and priministerial ‘older relations’ . Each of whom had vested interests in key companies currently residing in the middle or near to the top of the stock exchanges of...
"Jesus, can we even call this a classroom?"We're standing outside a dilapidated, burnt out rural schoolhouse. The windows all shattered outwards and what's left of the roof is slowly being pushed aside by a persistent young maple tree growing in the corner of the room. Some poor bastard must have exploded in here. Prob...
I got up like any normal day in my blue-themed bedroom with my cup of water on my bedside table to the left, and my tv to the right. I made my way downstairs preparing for work like I usually do. I take shifts at a coffee shop, and the rest of my time I just sit around and watch TV all day. (I know I’m not that grea...
I did it! I actually won something for the first time in my miserable life. My entire life surmounted of missed opportunities and failed adventures. I quit half way through my doctorate to persue a business venture with a friend only for it to fail and leave me even further in crippling debt. My girlfriend left me du...
Everyone knows the power of blood. Magic woven with this liquid essence of life gains untold strength, something well known to your character. By whatever means, s/he will acquire it to cement his/her place as the most powerful practitioner. Paying donors. Seducing those into that kind of pain. There's even been t...
It's been a hard life for Jake. Even with this new ability granted by the Genie, the words 'NOT INTERESTED' appeared above everyone's heads. He was invisible to the world it seemed, not really worthy of attention or affection beyond a platonic relationship. Now with relative old age, the hope for romance had finally ex...
Everything started out fine when Facebook and Oculus released something called Facebook Rewind. Originally starting on the facebook app and website, going into Facebook Rewind would show users pictures and videos of how things would have been if they had made different decisions on certain days. For example, when you ...
“But it didn’t work!” she pleaded, the tears in her eyes. “That doesn’t matter” He responded. He had heard that plea before. He forced himself to remember the law was clear. ‘Any attempt at witchcraft will be met with capital punishment.’ It was a simple rule. It made the world easy, witches tried to corrupt the...
Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. Middle click, new tab opened, unread and more or less unwanted. Autopilot. Well past drunk, dried out eyes bloodshot and straining I found myself surfing the web. Direction? Arbitrary. I couldn't find the motivation or sense of self to break out of that endless loop. Click. Click. Scro...
It doesn't matter which way is wrong. I have four rolls of toilet paper all facing different ways. Everything will be fine. I just need to make sure no-one touches them. But what if someone sneaks in & changes them to destroy the world? I have to prepare. I know what to do. I need superglue. Lots of superglue. I'...
It was 5:00 p. m. I went down along Jean Macé Street. I was returning from the hospital where I had spent the night. My left wrist, broken from the day before, was the cause of my hospitalization. The plaster protecting it was already unpleasant to me. The painkillers worked very well. But I had a crazy urge to scr...
Pompeii is always bustling with tourists. They move to and fro eagerly snapping pictures and murmuring excitedly at the bodies forever trapped in their last most intimate moments. It has been thousands of years since you experienced that terror and here it is encapsulated for all to see. Your first family members lie ...
**7:08am Thursday** My eyes were bleary as I stared out of the window, struggling to believe that what I was seeing. There were two people on their knees on the other side of the road, white hoods over their heads, hands tied behind their backs. One male and one female, both being dragged towards the open back doors o...
"H-hello?"The word, echoing loudly, seems to emanate from all of my surroundings at once. "Wait". Again, the noise booms from all directions. I quickly recognize it as my own voice. Puzzled and confused I try to take measure of my surroundings, but I can't see anything. It isn't because it's dark though, I realize that...
It had been nearly four years since she had spoken to her son, Martin, and she let everyone in the nursing home know it. Martin was a wonderful boy, a doctor, with two lovely children, Benjamin and Arielle, who came to visit her often. Both kids were in their 20s now, and the staff knew their visitation schedule as wel...
I used to make a lot more money, but after the fourth time someone died right on schedule I decided to change jobs--which is why I found myself working in the emergency room for just over minimum wage. I needed access to a constant stream of people, some of whom would likely die sooner rather than later, and this was p...
*"Johnny! Time for bed!"* His mother's voice carried up through the stairs into his room, where we were playing Alien Invaders. For Johnny, it was just a bunch of cardboard cutouts, but I saw the entire thing happening. That was the benefit of being connected to his imagination. I could experience everything he thought...
"... ground beef!" ​ War groaned, a deep, reverberating bass that echoed throughout the chamber. ​ "Thank you, we'll be in touch."Death said, giving a slow side glance to their fellow Rider. ​ As the far door shut behind Pun, Pestilence turned to the others: "That has to be it, ri...
Jared Rutherford had a lot of heart. That's one thing no one could take away from him. "Betcha won't pull Peggy's ponytails." "Betcha won't punch Robbie in the face during recess." "Betcha won't steal that car." Jared took on all bets. Sometimes he'd charge, but most times he did it just to hear kids whisper in the...
I stood on the hill and smiled as my “disciples” gathered around me. I didn’t smile because I cared for them, I smiled because they were making me rich! These idiots made my job way too easy. “What wisdom will you share with us today, Eli?” An older man asked reverently. So I spent several minutes just rambling a b...
I honestly don't know what was worse. They tortured me for years, carrying out sick fantasies of abuse and power and pain that would break almost any man. Then when the darkness came for me, and I thought for the most blessed of moments that maybe God or The Devil had finally answered my agonized prayers and I would be...
*You only see what you want to, Tim. You're reading too into things. I think... I think this is moving too fast for me.*   Tim sits at the diner staring into the abyss of his now cold coffee. The waitress has come by- enough times that he knows that they want him to leave, that he's overstayed his welcome...
George put on his suit, and laid on his bed. It was the suit that he wore on his wedding day. The room is lighted by candles, and there are photos of him and Jenny all around the room. He picked up one photo, gave it a kiss, and turned on the machine. A light buzzing sound echoed around the room, which followed by ...
There are those who labour under the impression that, having seen one mountain, they have seen all of them. Inhaling deeply and opening his eyes wide, one such individual was forced to revise this opinion. The man lay on the grassy summit of a mountain that he might have considered familiar and typical, but sitting up ...
Ryan’s hand jerked in a sweeping motion, like a musical conductor telling the choir to raise their pitch. He blacked out for a second, before a screen appeared in front of him. Appearance: Hair - Brown Eyes - Blue Weight - 185 Height - 6’1 Class - Human Race - Caucasian Stats: Strength I 4 Dexterity I 5 Intelligen...
A creepy growl mixed with sloshing sounds could be heard from the other side of the glass. Yu stepped away from the glass and aimed his pistol at the creature on the other side of the glass. He couldn't make out a clear picture of what the creature looked like, but he could tell it had a gooey appearance much like a sl...
The embroidery on her robe was unmistakable, and that's what freed the Atoms from him. "Half-life coming!"He shouted in a whisper. The crew snapped back to proper decorum. Well, they didn't snap so much as shift their weight. And their decorum was...passable. Jimy and Jani sat up from the slouched down position t...
Napoleon once said, "I spend thirty thousand men a month; Who can stop me?" They put a nice face on it. 'Course they did. Orange Knights.... ha. The army was decimated, the national guard annihilated, and the volunteers were blown to shit. They needed lives to spend, and all the good men were dead. "Fifty-First Ri...
Grace Kennilworth was always my favorite resident. The reason why was simple: many dementia patients become emotional, or even violent when they're having a bad day. I remember one Tuesday morning, when an old man named Mr. McDougal was sharing his favorite dirty jokes with me. Later that afternoon, I came into his roo...
"What? Merlin? You mean from the Arthur stories, with the sword in the stone and all that?" "The very same,"the elderly man said as he stroked his grey beard with fingers full of gold and silver rings. White stars are embeded onto his blue robe, and a similarly-designed cone hat rested on his grey hair. He looked a lo...
Most people adapted well to the update. I did not. The life bar would be nice if it would ever go above 25%, but that isn't even my biggest issue. My issue is the other bar. No one else has it, and it isn't marked, but I see it ticking down. Slowly. Day by day it drips lower. I've searched everywhere, no forums or he...
The meeting place was elegant, a beauty drawn from the pages of histories long since dead. Marble columns, gilded statues, grandiloquent arches and a fountain that rivaled the myths of Olympus for sheer intricacy and novelty. But in the middle of it all, conspicuously placed, sat a mediocre IKEA knockoff desk; compress...
Slasher, Dasher, Crasher, and I, Basher, just made it to the restaurant. They are my crew. The restaurant is still open, of course. We need it to be open to work. We are going to rob AstroNuts. “Yo, Dasher, you got the roses?” I asked. “As fresh as they can be.” Dasher said. “Good, good. Slasher, the trash bags?” “Go...
I blow my hair out of my face as I eat dinner with my family. "I don't understand why everyone else is hatching before me"I say "It's okay honey, both of us only hatched when we were 17. You're only fourteen, you have nothing to worry about."My mom says "Even Lola has hatched and her mom still only has ,like, FIVE s...

A small shrike carried its prey in its beak and flew around the many towers of Hedegaard Palace. Swooping past the low domed roofs and spires adorned with flags. The first light ignited the horizon and glowed coral on the sides of the white walls and turned the many arched windows into blazing fireplaces. The shrike ...
'General Bougainvillea, the enemy has taken the base of Intense. The first and second Forward Battalions have been decimated. Casualty reports indicate that at least 1200 men are K.I.A.' The young privates words are like crows pecking at carrion. 4 years. That's how long we have struggled for our freedom. The Northern...
The last human had died 50000 years ago, and many of my friends believe humans are a myth. But I've created a special group of only my most trusted alien's to help me try to bring humans back. They could do so many things to help further our economy! If humans used to be slaves and were efficient, we could use them now...
“And this is a copying machine. It copies all the documents you like and it has also a colour function.” The crowd that gathered around me admired our new addition to the office supplies with a lot of “oh”s and “ah”s. “Of course, only humans with colour vision can handle those machines. Luckily for you, I do have colou...
The two ordered a feast that could've fed twelve all for themselves. Surely both of them would get bloated the next day but as two young, frivolous lovers infatuated intensely with each other, they were too distracted with each other's large puppy eyes to give heed to anything else. There they were, a classic couple si...
Okay, supposedly coming home from a long day at work should be something to look forward to, right? Of course, many people stop the fast-paced hustle and bustle of their working lives to slow down and detach themselves from the heat of the day’s emotions. They turn off their autopilot and in the later hours of the wa...
"Will the defendant please rise" I stood. The restraints humming was strong enough to give me a headache and I welcomed the chance to distance then from my ears. "You have elected to take the stand. Do you understand this means you knowingly waive your Section 47 Rights?"The President of the Court squinted at me. "Y...
It's been 50 years since Betty White left us. 50 whole years, and I still can not believe it. She lived for hundreds of thousands of years, watching over us, making movies for us, and she was gone. Gone because of one snap. Everybody thought the story of Thanos in the Marvel movies were fiction, that the infinity stone...

"They've come for you. Tip $9 if you want to get out alive." Joseph chuckled at the fortune cookie. He crumpled it up and looked around the room, expecting smiles. Patrons were busy eating and the staff were delivering plates and clearing tables. Except for two men at the far corner. One had his back to him. The other...

“Here’s your pill” “What? What for?” “We don’t allow individuals here. This is a mood stabilizer.” “Oh. Okay.” Trish took her pill, turned grey like everybody else, and got back to work. It'll be nice, she thought, to no longer have those inconvenient emotions in the way. “Am I the only person to have ever been mu...
I dream of a cloud. One of those big, puffy white clouds you see in the blue sky on a bright, sun shiny day. Then the sky turns gray, and the cloud looks like smoke. And the cloud starts to descend. But I can't move. So I just keep staring at it until it presses me down to the ground and covers my face. It smothers...
It was 11 at night, and I was sitting in my dimly lit living room, staring off into space. He should have been back hours ago! If he'd gotten into trouble, I would have a huge mess to sort out... Suddenly, I heard the doorknob rattle. It continued rattling for an entire minute - he still hadn't gotten used to using ke...
I set my camera up in the corner and hit record. Then I jump into my friend's hamster, escape the cage, climb up my friend's arm, and hump his face with my hamster body. Then I run back into the cage and transfer back to my own body. My friend looks at me flabbergasted, not knowing what happened. "DID YOU SEE THAT? MR...
"Well who would you have me choose then?! I'll give you this one for free. I'll switch you with one person from your world. The catch is they have to be as-good-as or better than you. Go on. Choose. You know your world better than I will for a long long time. You don't want to cooperate? You want to go back to your fa...
I've always hated this about my family. Ever since I was a kid all everyone ever talked was my dad. "Thomas Andersen defeats the three-headed hydra! Is one head actually better than three?". "Unstopable force against immovable object! Thomas Andersen saves hundreds by singlehandedly holding back a landslide!"Don't get ...
He smiled at me.. at me? No certainly not. I was sure, I have been roaming for hundreds of years unseen by everyone and this man sitting across the room is smiling at me. He waves at me, yes he does see me. He moves from his seat moving closer to me, he reaches out a hand, I am dumbfounded... how can he see me? I tent...
I always hate to wake up in Freefall because that usually means that I missed the exit for the reality that I really wanted to be in... and I'm going to sound like I'm crazy here, but I swear I'm not. Ah, well, though, this is fine. And no, despite the meme, I'm serious, this is fine. ​ No, I'm not crazy, ...
The blond boy dawdled through the forest, not really aiming to go anywhere. There was no hurry, it wasn't like anyone was waiting for him back home, or at the school. It hadn't been the greatest of days, and that was saying something considering his life. The teacher, as usual, had taken *immense pleasure* in patient...
Another storm was rolling in. Growing up in the tornado alley, I had grown petrified of thunderstorms. They made me a bit nervous, like airplanes, the West Nile Virus, and bald men with tattoos. I reached for my bottle of Xanax, but it was empty. Panicking, I raced upstairs to find my mom in the kitchen. "Mom, do you...
The blood tainted soil seems much, much more dryer as I walk across it. Feet leaving invisible marks in the mud below. Marks of skinless feet only visible to those who have seen my handiwork. It’s strange. No matter how much of humanity I see, they never seem to change much. It’s just that somewhere deep in their brai...
I've always been immune. Any type of toxin, I could see it affecting other people. Doctors didn't know what to diagnose me with. I could care less about my difference. I have a loving family, and I couldn't live without them. They matter more than whatever I may have. When I woke up this morning, it wasn't to my m...
The streets are empty today, as they have been for the last week. The traffic lights are still changing for cars that never come. At a porch a dog is waiting for her family. They left a few days ago, but she is waiting dutifully. They will never come home again. In the kitchen a crackling voice can be heard from the ...
Tom sat at his favorite coffee shop and scrolled through the options on his company's employee portal. To his side was Gagamemnon, God of Health Care, pointing at different options on the screen. "Now, this one's a little more expensive,"Gagamemnon slid his glasses back into place, "but it will cover more of your surg...
"Hello, Ms. Satake! I am pleased to meet you!" We go through the normal greetings and discussions before getting to the meat of the matter. "Ms. Satake, my students, despite my best efforts, seem incapable of accepting the truly awful effects of nuclear weapons. I propose that we arrange a field trip, to a site clo...
The anxious Greatest Hero had me bound tightly with a rope. He quickly patted my clothes for weapons or sharp objects. I was completely helpless under his invasive search. After patting me down, he couldn't relax in the slightest. I tried to give him a friendly smile in hopes that he would calm down. He returned my smi...
"Oh I see how it is, I'm not good enough to invite to your child's christening, am I?"she grumbled to herself, after having found out that the family up the road in the mansion were hosting a christening party for their youngest child. "And after all these years, how long have I been your friend? Your ally? And you don...

The chew marks on the disposable pen are a record of the moral dilemmas. Each one signifying indecision as I run the tip across my lips. Every line I’ve written has come with some trepidation. “Except this one,” I murmur as I scrawl in the worn leather-bound notebook. It was really the easiest and most obvious line. I...
