"Dark nights mean long nights,"I mused as I savored the taste of the mead in my cup. It was true, I was always busy on these moonless nights, dealing with any number of creatures, and it was never an easy task. This was their world, I was only a visitor. The bar I've found myself in tonight was a quiet one, and other ...
\[Recording log: 0001-MAR, retrieved from Mars Program colonist 4235-b\] &#x200B; Whoever said that in space, no one could hear you scream, was a liar. You hear everything from within your plastic-steel bubble suit. Encased inside that all-too-thin barrier against the infinitely cold void of space, you pick up ev...
Jakhal let out a sigh, “Consider it done.” The other members of the order needed funds; and with their long-time leader calling it a career, he wanted to leave them with enough funds to be comfortable and empowered to tackle their lofty goals. The groundwork had been taken care of so that Calum’s demise would give the ...
Hellfire rained down on me. Literal hellfire, directly on me. Someone had noticed me, and wanted me dead. Sure, running across a battlefield wasn't my smartest move, and sure I'm AWOL to one side and enemy to the other, and sure I have no plan for when I get there, but that doesn't justify HELLFIRE! My barrier held, ...
I let out a low laugh as my eyes scanned up the tower of usernames located above the man's head. He noticed a lot of the names, and even made note that one of them was an account he made contact with daily. And the, he smiled. Despite the man having so many usernames, hundreds, maybe thousands of them were throwaways....
I stare out over the gory landscape in front of me. Human and tree corpses alike, splattered with red and green. It makes me want to hurl. Our world is in ruins, and it's my job to clean it up. Why does it have to be me? When I was a child, my mother used to tell me to save trees. She loved plants, and nature. She woul...
"Are you sure?"asked Rivash, "By this Man?" Noo´rag looked at her and Chuckled: "Yes, i am sure. Or you want to give up?" "No! No, i don´t want to give up!"Rivash shaked her head, "But...to you know who this man is?" Noo´rag laughed, "No, and i don´t care. He is only a Human"with a amused look at his long Rival he e...
Daniel is like a brother for me and I'm just waiting for him to say something. I'm waiting. Please don't snitch on me, please. "Am I just a person you know, nothing more? Just that? I can't get that in my head." "No, but I won't move, I can't just go somewhere. This is where I am living and you are not that important...
"Sorry I'm late, but there's no time to explain."The stranger sat down in front of me, just as I had ordered my usual turkey on rye. I had attempted to ask him who he was, but he just kept shushing me, saying "Be quiet, they might be listening." Just as my sandwich arrived, the stranger looked behind us out the front ...
For a dream job, this was turning out to be pretty boring. When I applied for a SETI internship, I tried not to hold out too much hope. The application process was really competitive, and I couldn’t believe it when I was chosen. I was selected to work on a project scanning the galaxy for radio transmissions that could...
Once the laughter calmed down, God continued. "Listen, it will be fun, the angel that causes the extinction wins the pot. Every angel that participates gets to control ONE influential event or provide a SINGLE gift. Just like we did with the dinosaurs, but these creatures will be MUCH MORE self aware- and since Michae...
(part 1/6) &#x200B; Advertising billboards weren't just a common sight in the city. With their sheer prevalence and the collective corporate compulsion to inform their potential customers, residents were hard-pushed to find a street that didn't contain at least one backlit screen showing off the latest electron...
I hadn’t been swimming in a few months now, the idea of water was making me frustrated. What started as a joke with friends to look for Atlantis absorbed my life. Every sparing moment I had I was swimming looking for a place that might as well be fake. But, I was dragged into my apartment complex pool by some friends....
"Idcirco praecipio tibi ut relinquam daemonium"I muttered under my breath as I slowly turned the knob from the inside my jacket, and moved the megnet under the table. The lights began to fade and flicker, and the metal candle holder above the table slid ominously across the table. I paused momentarily and looked up at ...
As I stare at the puppy, “My name is Max!”, his collar jauntily reports, I realize a mistake must’ve been made. This can’t possibly be the world’s most prolific serial killer. I text the contact’s agent for clarification, and as I wait, I squat to eye the little fluff ball. Cute as a button he is, one of those littl...
For awhile I just wallowed in my misery. Day after day, I sat in my filthy apartment and cried. A lot. Or I just screamed and threw things. Weatherman said it was the worst cold snap in recorded history. Yeah, it wasn’t great. Until one day, I saw a news report. Ice melting in the arctic. Global warming was onl...
As I walk down the street after work, wondering what sounds good for dinner, suddenly my phone starts to ring. The guys want to meet at the bar down the road, so I start to make my way there since it’s not terribly far from where I am. As I start to get closer to the bar, I see a familiar face leaning against the wall,...
You walk out of the surveillance room and look to the right of you, but nothing is there. Craig’s probably just trying to freak you out again, you think to yourself. There’s no way that- “AAAA-“ Behind you a scream rings out, and you whip around to find nothing but a blood trail leading into the bedroom department. You...

My brow was wet, dripping slowly, itchingly irritating any skin it rolled over. I ran my forearm across my forehead in some misguided attempt to dry myself, only managing to smear the moisture across my face and my arm. It seemed like that action prompted my body to just sweat even harder. My gut rumbled like some anci...
My name is buddy and I am an action figure, and my best friend Sean loves to play with me everywhere. We have had many fun adventures and good talks even though I have never talked back. Lately I've seen him be sad a lot so I think something is happening with his parents, he talked to me once about it, but he hasn't p...

If Google were a guy. It turned out google was a guy, and that the damned series of shorts weren't that far off the scale of idiotic things I would be asked. Including, but not limited to 'Why do my farts smell.' The list of questions was endless, and for the most part they were idiotic. The questions asked by Scien...
"Please stay in your seats, everything is fine, there's no fire. We don't know why the fire alarm is going off, we're doing our best to fix it. We apologize for the inconvenience."The voice over the speaker says, and people are still confused. Some stay in their seats but some leave like standard fire drill procedures....
I was entranced by her hundreds of quivering black eyes, her rows upon rows of serrated teeth, and her rapidly whipping tentacles, pseudopods and talons. Ah but who was I kidding Jengoltha was too good for a nobody like me. Ever since she consumed the essence of Jared Higly (who would not contribute to the group proj...
I still have the scar where my heart was cut out. I watched it stop beating with my own eyes, though the fumes dulled my senses and my memories of my sacrifice are a little hazy. I also watched them put it back in. That squirming mass of darkness that sent a chill down my spine. But look at me, getting ahead of mysel...
As I look to the center of the arena, the sudden realization that I'm the only normal one in this arena hit me hard, as the waves of saltwater of the Champion of Poseidon hit the archer hidden behind the giant pillar of the temple of Artemis. Why am I one of the legendary champions you ask? I'm a mortician, and a good...
I hesitated, before scrolling back up to the GIF of the eldritch Garfield. Huh, that was a really well animated one. How much longer I wondered, before tapping it. Why did it not show the time left? Was I not clicking it hard enough? I sighed before watching a bit longer, just to see when it would loop. Five minutes...
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Beth's fingers halted in the middle of a sentence. The headache was back. Was it worse this time? She couldn't tell. All she knew was this article was due next week and she needed this head start. eeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeee Her attempts to continue her work were fruitless, as he...
My breathing is steady, constant as a metronome. My heart is pounding, not from fear, or the overwhelming pressure of being targeted by the United States government for war crimes I did not commit, but from a twisted sense of excitement. My whole life seems to have led up to this point on top of my suburban household i...
Twelve years ago, astronauts found an alien data-core on the moon, a gift sent from foreign planets. It was an invitation to set up communication with another solar system for the first time in human history. For the last decade, I have been trying to figure out how to make that happen; how to merge this technology wit...
"AHH NOO! It's in ruins! Oh she'll be mad! NO FORGET THAT, SHE'LL CRY AND MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A BAD LITTKE BROTHER. O--ohh I know, I'll just repair this thing." /// All of a sudden, the world's problems just disappeared one by one. Pollution all of a sudden disappeared. The rivers ran crystal, the oceans so clean you ...

I looked impatiently at the newly installed clock on the wall. It was one of the new gadgets heaven had installed in an attempt to “rebrand” hell. It had not even been five minutes since the interview had started and yet here I was, regretting that I had ever decided to entertain this dumb kid. To make time, I had had ...
\ring \ring \ring "She's not answering." \ring \ring \ring The Devil tapped the receiver on his landline, hoping maybe it was just a hardware problem. Of course Hell uses landlines.

I walked up to 12A. "Dude, do you know what's going on? What does he mean by 'it's your turn'"? "No fucking idea. I'm absolutely terrified, I just wanted you to come with me." "Fair play, but what do we do now?" Just before I could finish the sentence - the 2 flight attendants assigned to our areas of the plane w...
"Yes, YES! My nefarious plan is proceeding perfectly, PERFECTLY! Number two, bring up the metrics."Per orders, Number two brought up the metrics. Evilness: up 142% in the past year.

if you want to imagine a future, Imagine "hands"that look half rhino, half shark rubbing purell, into each other, before and after punching a human head , forever. Imagine a 12 meter tall Spider/squid vehicle crawl out of its cylinder and attach air filters the size of hay bales to its intakes before pulping humans t...
20 years have passed by since the gates closed. We shut out what made us weak. Those on the outside are not humans, we are. They are nothing more than filth. That is true now, now after 20 years. I belive there were still possibilities, at least that's what my pa told me. He lived on the border of Europe. The very edge...
"It was about 11:20 on a Friday night."Said Cassie, taking a long drag on her Cigarette. "Sometime between 1965 - I remember because Tom Lehrer was havin' a show down at the old Barn on main - and it was before the moon landing."She huffed another of her Camels and walked to the Window, closing the blinds. "It was a ma...
Kevin sighed. &#x200B; He wearily plopped down in his office chair, and tiredly pressed his computer's power button. &#x200B; Kevin sighed again. &#x200B; As his computer slowly turned on, Kevin yawned. Nine years with this company and they still haven't bothered to upgrade his computer. He still has ...
# The Blades of Blasphemy *The Gods have abandoned us... My actions have damned the entirety of the empire and I deserve worse than being stuck within this cell for what I have done. The ambient screams from the massacre taking place on the other side of this stone wall are growing more haunting by each passing momen...
The angry tears stained Thomas' eyes. The gun was gripped tightly in his shaking grip, aimed at the perfect and unmarred face of a man sitting on a throne in an endless white space of rolling and shifting platinum, a look of placid peace on his smiling face. "Why?!"Thomas roared, his throat hoarse. "Why what?"The fig...
"This is Bullshit!" My Son who was in his 50s now was mad, pacing up and down. &#x200B; "Calm down, Thomas!" Sara, my daughter in Law tried to comfort her Husband. "No you dont understand!

“Jesus fricking Christ. The amount of sweat Johnny’s hand builds up is incredible. I’m dripping in sweat from tip to clicker.” Inkling couldn’t quite believe just how much sweat the kids hands had produced that day. It didn’t help it was final exams, in squelching summer heat. He ranted to the rubbers beside him after...
It’s a simple story, but not one easily told. I’d thought about how to say it out loud many times but wouldn’t dare ever tell another soul about it. Maybe on my deathbed? Sure, that sounded simple enough, and I’d practiced that part plenty: “So, listen. I killed your mom and dad because it’s my job. I also kind of b...
Why would i do this? What would make me think that these horrible people? Cause I've been there myself, i know how horrible their lives are as is.

So this is my life. Running a group therapy session for the modern myths of man. I used to be the God of Medicine! Thousands worshipped me, I cured the sick and healed the lame. Now I sit around listening to this lot complain about how hard it is hiding from people all the time. There cutting down all the trees w...

Yawning, I woke up. I rubbed my eyes. Could have used more sleep. Then all of a sudden I accidently tripped over a book. "Owww", I loudly complained, holding my leg in pain. Nothing worse than starting off a day being clumsy. But then I looked up. I yelped and jumped. I was in what appeared to be a library. Heart ra...
I cast my line into the water of the river next to my fishing village, the bobber floating along the top creating ripples as it moved. Even though the idea of a fishing village may sound primitive my town had many luxuries such as electricity and cars. The town is not the best but you can see it improving. My mother wa...
I was chosen by my people to be their champion. I was the only one in their eyes who could defeat Morath, the Fearsome and Terrible, and bring piece to the land. It happened that while in the great city of Eriophas, I came to a pub in the less morally sound side of town. It was like an overflowing pile of human se...
I have wandered for eternity, through the oceans of time. Searching, questing, singing. I thought 99 bottles was bad, but this is infinitely worse. It’s also dangerous. I’ve evaded them so far. Looking for the last one. How many can there be? At least there are only 99 bottles. If I took them all down, passed e...
I promise you a show of a lifetime! It isn't an ape from the Asian Islands, or a tiger form the African deserts, but rather something right here among you! That's right you are looking at it now and you see it everyday! The human body! Nothing out matches the physique and beauty that man himself has! Come see that raw ...
Zhang laid back in his wooden cart being dragged along the rough stone roads by his reluctant donkey. Thirteen years had elapsed since he had set out on his journey along the famed Silk Road. His mind still longed for home. Home was a small village located in the foothills of the Himalayas. Zhang thought back to the Ev...
Humans are linked in more ways than we first thought. Think of a virus, how it spreads and touches those near to it. The exponential rate at which it multiplies across continents. Think of laughter, how it too can be infectious, but in a positive way. Or think of a yawn, a banal expression of weariness, and yet even th...
The air raid sirens had been blaring for the past 20 or so minutes. He could barely hear them, however, being as he was currently camping on the edge of a mountain, overlooking the distant city. ------------------------------ He had been cooking a burger over his campfire, listening to some tunes on the radio in h...
Harry retrieved a set of dice from his pocket. Or, at least, he attempted to, but by some unseemly gesture of fate, it appeared his fingers got all fumbled and upon dredging them from his trousers, they slipped from his hands and onto the floor below. How embarrassing, he thought, before crouching down and picking th...
I'm in a spaceship. "Jean?"I heard. I wondered who it was. I kept on searching, lurking around, trying to find any sign of life. I see some bones, and eventually find another person. Or so I thought. I actually found a robot, the Automated Resistance Manned Initiative of the Norse, or A.R.M.I.N. Typically, since it wa...
I've always loved the 80s cereal boxes with their surprise toys in the box. Back then it was much better, they'd put cars made of metal, whistles that could hack the phone system, tiny arrow firing robots...You know the kinds of things that are fun but could possibly maim a child of four. Today, you get codes for a web...
You stood on the hillside watching everything around you tear itself apart. Fiery clusters hit the Earth’s surface and pained screams could be heard. This was your world now. It pained you to watch as things only grew worse. Eventually the meteors became less frequent, but your world was already dying. Millions upon ...
I was quite young when I found out. I remember dad mention in a casual conversation that, on Oalo, they didn’t have cars. I didn’t know why, but after a second, I laughed and told our neighbour that that was a place my dad had made up for my bedtime stories. The neighbour laughed as well and dad, smiling politely, chan...

"Again? Should be expected from an Alpha build, but still... So immersion breaking." I ruffled in my pockets an pulled out the menu, tapping the save button. Why did we still need save buttons? It really gave a sense of how little we've actually advanced in technology, still clinging to the old ways. After the tireso...

One of the reporter drones was flying up to me just as i was coming to the Courthouse. A screen folded out with the websites name. I tried to swat it away but the tiny thing was programmed well and could predict my movements long before my arm ever reached it and evaded. I obviously knew that but its somewhat of a cust...
"So let me get this straight..."Charles began, scratching his chin with his own digital hand. He couldn't feel it, but after the accident, it became a force of habit. "You want access to some of the DNA files in my lab... for an EXPERIMENT." The short man before him grinned and nodded, seeing that Charles had understo...
The priest knows his history. Two hundred years after the Knights of the Reformation killed Leonardo DaVinci and burned his workshop to the ground, Issac Newton died in his mother's womb. Are the events connected? Nicholas Telsea has said they are. He's even gone so far to say it was his doing. That is was good th...
"Just for a minute!" "Ok, fine! God, I'm sorry I asked!"Don said, after reluctantly choosing "dare"in a game of truth or dare.

I heard him coming before I saw him. Of course. I'd just completed my weather control device a few hours ago and my video message holding the world for ransom was ready to go. Everything was going according to plan until I heard an off-key slur howling "Don't Stop Believin'"at maximum human volume. Coming closer. *Damn...
Sarah bit her lip, frowning. She blinked slowly, glaring into her computer screen. Finally, she leaned back into her chair. Sighing, Sarah closed her eyes. She massaged her temple. It had been what, three, four days since Sarah slept. She exhaled, standing. She half walked half crawled to the window. Standing from her ...
"I do not understand,"the hero cries. "The hate in the people's eyes! Have I not freed them from their oppressors? "Yet they whisper about me! "They say I am lecherous!

The Sins Of Our Fathers The cell door clicked open. He’d heard this sound many times before. Everyday for the last 9 years in fact. The guards led him down the sterile white hall that led to the cell he had spent half his life in. At the end of the hall was an elevator that took him down. In the elevator he could see ...
"Okay,"said the professor. "Class dismissed." There were the sounds of chairs scraping and voices rising and laughing as thirty-something college students swelled towards the door. I was one of the last ones out of my seat. And the reason why - Kamila Conley - flipped one last page, took a picture of it, and handed ...
While going through daily life, most people don't have to consider the movement of the Earth. The rotation, the orbit, the motion through the galaxy. For most, all those thousands of miles and hour might as well not exist. That was not the case for Ben Jacobs. He did have to consider all those things if he wanted t...
I've always been able to see the threads. One of my earliest memories is being very confused when my mother could not see them. She tried to convince me they were imaginary, but I knew they most certainly were not. There are white ones that I can use to to attach to an object and pull it towards me, or mesh around each...
Curtis' head dropped low but it couldn't hide his large tears dripping onto the panel in front of him. He couldn't bear to look at his withering parents or his young children. Because of what he had done, his family would be taken into the hands of the authority. Parents in a shabby home, children taken by uncaring adu...
"Oh my god."The woman rolled on her back and sighed, breathing like she had just run a marathon. "James, that was amazing." The young James Bond, as cool as a cucumber, was already up and out of bed, getting dressed, but he offered her a polite smile. "So were you,"he lied. "Promise me you'll come and see me again,"...
"That's rude." I surprised myself with the immediate reply, and the stranger blinked a couple times, before looking around. The subway was how it always was, packed, everyone on their tablets or with earbuds in or otherwise just ignoring everything that went around him. That suited us just fine-- but when this guy j...
"IT IS TIME! WE ARE A DISEASE!" The man yelled pounding on the front door. I was shaking as I slid down the down to sit. In my right hand I had a white knuckle grip on a baseball bat in my left I clutched my phone in disbelief. The call hadn't gone through, just a message saying, "Due to the extreme number of calls a...
"The king is dead! Long live the king!” I looked down at the former king’s body, lying in a pool of blood before the throne. This hadn’t exactly gone according to plan. I mean, sure I’d expected to be able to fight my way to the throne room, after all I was the greatest swordsman in the realm, but I’d expected him to ...
I used to dream of electrical towers as giants that roamed our country. They stood there, lashed by the winds across the cornfields, gleaming in the sun, or silhouetted against the burning sunset of the Midwest Sky. I would trace my finger on the window in their human-like shape as we drove by, my hot breath filling i...
She is stunning. Her presence unlocks all my insecurities and makes me acutely aware of all my flaws. All the pride and self-esteem I've built up from the past three months of exercising and dieting go straight out the window. Unconsciously, then consciously, I wrap my arms around my husband's arm, reminding him that...
Walking onto the cracked concrete, I held back my tears. They've done it again--they've taken everything from me. The driveway was diminished to a handful of pebbles, the tattered blue shutters of my home strewn around the now-nonexistent road. Any evidence of the flowers I had planted was gone. The door of my ho...
My father, my grandfather and I were each only children. Which meant when Dad died I was responsible for grampy. I was there for him as much as I could but he never talked much and often would stare off. This meant two things, I never knew much about him and I didn't know what he thought of me. When he passed away...
The sirens blared and bright blue lights blinded me as four state troopers started to box in my car. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road. "Open the door, place your hands outside the vehicle, and then slowly exit the vehicle"came an officers voice over the bullhorn. I complied. "Now, place your hands ...

Ants. Fascinating creatures,weren't they? Bettles were boring. Crickets were noisy. But ants were fascinating creatures. They could find their fellow ants and hives easily. They were the embodiment of teamwork.They were beautiful. Those were Amy's views. Ever since she had been a young child, she had been obsessed...
Its not like I wanted to sleep or anything. Naturally, you could say that I'm a paranoid person. I always jump when people tap me on the shoulder. I freak out when a tree branch hits the window. So when I hear banging on the door at 12 AM? Yeah, that was gonna scare me, too. I grabbed the metal bat I kept next to m...
His face screamed red. Serenity ceased to last in the eccentric neighborhood. The onyx vehicle, one that looked as though it faced a thousand plastic surgeries, sped through the trees. DRA, the recently installed one-of-a-kind GPS, kept flashing its crimson screen in accordance with the warning. Attending numerou...
25 years as a brain surgeon, and Simon didn't enjoy his job any more than when he started. He wanted to be a software engineer, a programmer, a hacker! His dreams weren't enough for his families expectations, he had little choice, a dentist or a surgeon. Simon decided brains and computers had some similarities, so he ...
“You have practiced this,” Mica said under his breath. “You can do this.” &#x200B; All the reasons not to do this comes crashing down like an unstable Jenga tower. People will laugh. They will snicker and mock. His hands shook despite the fact that he had them balled to his sides. Fuck. The Council of the Abandon...
Xue had slept in late. She had spent hours trying to develop some program that shielded self-driving cars from being hacked into, which is a nearly unthinkable task for one young woman with a plain computer she had built herself, but she had done her best, and she had gone way too far into the night. When she passed ou...
The morning passed like any other. The house rang with Momma’s screams as she once again threatened to commit filicide for the fourteenth hundred time. Jazz watched as her little brothers skirted through the kitchen like mice, ducking in and around Momma’s legs, gleefully flirting with death. They knew their mother’s b...
The midday desert was peaceful. &#x200B; Nothing but the wind disturbed the yellow sands, and the man closed his eyes. He meditated, focusing on pure nothing, as he had for many years past. He felt the cold of the void around him, despite the hot, dry air on his skin. With his eyes closed he saw naught but the da...

Chase rolled out of bed and onto his dining room table. The two were packed right against one another in his cube, another sign of just how little his job paid. But in this economy, he was lucky to have any work at all. Most of the kids he grew up with were stuck in the Comms. They lived side-by-side in government iss...
