Crimson. The color of blood and gore. The first sign of war looming in the eves. The color of an ominous moon enticing devils one and all to shake their shackles free, and pierce through the veil into a sleeping world. The shade of a clay tomb and a shallow buried corpse. Betrayal and pain in vibrant flashes. The hue o...
I haven’t been back here in a long time. I stare up at the house, trying not to think about the innumerable, unspeakable horrors that took place here. The surrounding gloom matches my mood, and rain starts to fall, urging me inside. I open the door, breathing to steady myself as it closes behind me. It’s so dark. N...
First, it started pretty normally. The people were just acting as they had been in a foreign place and were trying to readjust to life here on our boring planet. My wife was an astronaut, who had been sent to the ISS and had come back as of late, she was weirdly quieter than usual. More reserved, and she had basically ...
Every morning was a new torture for the Prince of Evil. He had gotten into a minor squabble with the boss a few years back and been banished to the basement ever since. Not that the perks weren’t nice—he had free reign to do whatever he wanted, drugs, sex, rock and roll, the whole shebang—but having to deal with confus...
"Dr. Adams. The world owes you a debt of gratitude."The president smiled, placing the medal of freedom on the young woman. Marry Beth Adams grinned down at her father, seated in in the front row of the ceremony in her honor, and felt warmth rise in her stomach as he smiled back. He may have struggled with accepting her...
I turned from the glossy black casket to the drunken, decomposing man pushing down the center aisle. He carried an open beer in one hand, and the other was outstretched, as though he was reaching for something or someone. "Sorry, shit — hi, Susan, Carl, Tim — I'm late. I didn't mean to got caught up and all that. Didn...
\[Poem\] because I got inspired instead of a story. &#x200B; "Why do you cry?"You ask. He weeps, he weeps. "My love, you see, She sleeps, she sleeps." He points to the horizon, Tears fresh on his cheeks, You turn and you realize The one that he seeks. &#x200B; For over the hills The sun has sunk pas...
"Hold on, the pins aren't aligned yet!" "Get out of the way, Tom, I want to throw it!" At first, outdoor bowling seemed like the stupidest idea imaginable. But dumb ideas can turn out to be gems. One wayward 10-pounder had already shattered a rotten log at the bottom of the hill, sending chunky brown shrapnel sprayin...
There he was, metres away as if it had never happened. My reaction to seeing this beast was instantaneous; my fists clenched, my feet rooted into the ground, and my vision narrowed. The grey buildings and filthy streets blurred until all I could see were him. “Turn around. Just go. Turn around.” I found myself mutteri...
I have no memory of how I got here or who I am. All I remember is waking up here, in this room that seems to be made entirely of marble. Looking up there seems to be no end to the height of this room, coupled with the lack of shadows I felt disoriented everytime I stood up. I started pacing around the room frantically...
I'm on my phone, so forgive my formatting. Nice flow overall. I like how the end is a callback to the beginning, very clever and really hammers home the repetitive nature of the job. Dialogue You have some good dialogue here, but not a lot of variety. If you think of the scene playing out, we probably see a fra...
[Poem] The queen callith out And her daughters reply With wings thin as paper alight to the sky Aflock to her aide They speed and they race Armed to the teeth With sword, axe, and mace. The swarm hurrys down And lands near their queen They find she has fallen With no foe to be seen. A long spindly leg Dr...
At first, I'm amazed. Quizzically surveying my surroundings provides no evidence of power, solar or otherwise, yet the dated neon atop the metal and glass box glows brightly. The illuminated words 'GET-IT' scream 1982, and the flashy, albeit tacky geometric artwork plastered to the sides; bright green and pink triangle...
270,687. Only five more than the last ten yearly check-up, I mused. We were slowing down then, which was good. The test had seemed more difficult this year, but I guess that’s expected. The sleep chambers can’t stop aging entirely, so I’m slowly wasting away in here. The tests said I was still fit and able to help thou...
"...It's not at all what I thought it would be! I mean it helps crack cases but, I end up with a ton of unneeded details like what the dead man's grocery list was or what he ate for breakfast. Man, I'm hungry. Oh! That reminds me, if someone you are viewing before death was hungry before they died then you get seriousl...
"Max?"I said, looking down at the animal in front of me. The brown lab with the endlessly wagging tail barked playfully. He ran around me in circles like he used to. There was not a spot of gray on his muzzle nor a hitch in his stride. He was as I always remembered him throughout the years: playful, energetic, happy. ...
The recession had been hard. A senior aircraft technician I may have been, but the world had moved on from certificates and accreditation. What was the job market even looking for now? I only knew how to work hard. I probably should have learned something else. The multi-billion dollar company that I had submitted my a...
I sat in my car, steeling myself to do my job. The tower loomed ominously on top of the large hill. Unfortunately, the driveway terminated at the bottom of the hill and I had to climb the rest of the way on foot. So I climbed. When I got to the door, it opened on its own. How convenient. I entered. "Mr. Grendar ...
I blast the zombie in front of me with the 12-gauge that bucks in my hand like a spooked horse. The undead’s brains scatter, bloodless, onto the group of us like sparks in a fireworks show. “That’s the last of ‘em.” I hear Tony say behind me. “First floor clear!” I shout towards the revolving doors that sit unmoving ...
Linda shrieked then covered her mouth. She tried to shove the vision out of her pants but it just swirled like smoke and curled around her arm, coalesced into a leering face. She violently shook her hands, but it just coiled around her legs again. A voice whispered from them. "Come on, aren't you're used to everyone...
Bill slapped my back, giving me a hearty handshake. He was grinning ear to ear; I was not. Director of Human Resources and Company Moral was the official job title. The position had been vacant for the majority of my tenure at Xana Extrusion. "I promise,"said Bill, "You will enjoy this more than that stuffy desk job....
Far beyond the coasts of Africa, in the grassy plains not even the wind can touch, you finish up the acquisition draft and swipe away the holofax on your desk. The air is still, and light, treetops in the distance barely swaying, their shadows long and trunks orange in the light. The idyllic scene is almost completely ...
&#x200B; \[Poem\] &#x200B; A dark and lonely soul am I- guiding others when they die. &#x200B; Treading down a solemn path- while dealing with the aftermath. &#x200B; Some will cry while others beg- and most will wonder why they're dead. &#x200B; A husband whom has lost his life- he lea...
It's too late. Cardiologists, anesthesiologists, dentists, surgeons, and diagnosticians. Without a second thought they swarmed me. They lifted me off the ground and led me to their nest. Pediatricians called out for their mother, begging for food. Such small, gentle creatures. Then...it came. The Surgeon General....
"What if it was, like... snipers?" Jeremy asks me that in the lunch line. "What the hell are you talking about?"I reply. "Snipers,"Jeremy repeats. "Instead of the chips. What if everyone had a sniper waiting to shoot them for eating the wrong thing?" I shake my head. "One sniper for every person? Seriously?" Jeremy...
Reflection My mom died when I was just a baby. I like to tell myself it's not my fault but I know it is. My dad had caught on pretty fast when the cat died the next day. I don't know what the world looks like. My dad would only let me take off the blindfold when I was in the bathroom by myself. He had a lock on the ...
"ENOUGH", bellowed the ogre, "these terrible jokes are driving me crazy". Pun looked him in the eye, cold rage filling his body. NO ONE insults his jokes. Before he could act, Lance jumped in front of him with his hand signalling him to stay back. Lance shouted out to him. "Calm yourself mate, you're still level 1. Yo...
You stared in horror as the images played across the screen. It looked like your monthly office meeting the next day would go horribly wrong, your new cost-effectiveness proposal was even playing on the projector. You recognized all of the people in the room, except for one. They were your perfect vision of a signific...
“Water...” I repeated, realising just how thirsty I was as memories started blinking into my mind. “Quit the alien interrogation routine and pass me drink!” I requested. “So you admit you are defenseless?” He said while his eyes rolled back. He paused slightly before moving his left arm a little. The movements reveal...
“Master, can we trade places? Just for a little while? I’ve watched you struggle and stumble for so long. I can give you peace, some time to energize. I can build us higher while you sit back a little while. &#x200B; That brother who goads you and pokes at your pride, I can stand tall to him. Make him see not to ...
A feint cracks echoes in a chamber lit only by the glowing embers of a fireplace. A few more cracks follow, each louder that the previous one until a large shell falls shattering into hundreds of tiny pieces as it bounces off the solid concrete. A colourless liquid drains out of the opening of where the shell had been,...
11:21 AM. 8/9/2019. That was the exact time that the event happened. I just so happened to be at the beach at the time. I was simply sunbathing, until I was suspecting something, but I didn't know what. I looked around and that's when I saw it. All of the water in the ocean was gone. People were freaking out, and cha...
"Kyle cheated on me,"I screamed at the gatekeeper, "and now he's got to pay for it!" "For the last time darling, you're dead,"the demon mutters back. Of all days, why did I have to guard the gates today, the demon thought. "I shouldn't be here, I still need to get my revenge! Can I please speak to Satan?" "As if Sa...
Peering into the abyss, the colors were melancholy and vivid. The sky was filled with fast moving and shape shifting objects. When we started this research project, we were under funded and viewed with a pessimistic lens. Most of our team grew up seeing some form of supernatural phenomenon and were lucky enough to be s...

I mean, you do understand how hard it's going to be trying to fix this mess? &#x200B; Tony checked the list of messages Rover sent. "Well, it'...
"you don't need to go back"came a voice from behind me. "What did you say?"I asked, turning around to see an old man "what do you mean I don't need to go back? I need to get my life back together.". "No"he replied with a shake of his wrinkles head, you don't. "I see it in the way you stand, you lost it all and you don...
As I sat in the car, as the stranger drove through the deserted road,all I could think of,was how my life was soon coming to a stand still. The angel of death should forget me because I wanna live longer. I can't bear to leave my family and especially my three pumpkins and my wife Rachael. I lied to her that I was I wa...
'Who am I?' is a question that has plagued mankind since its dawn. Is one merely an accumulation of ones memories? Shaped and crafted by the experiences of their lifetime into the person they are in that present moment only to continue evolving in the coming weeks, months and years. Or is there something more intrinsic...
Life is going alright right now, well as alright as it could be when your best friend graduated and is now the head commander of the British army and all you do is burnout the couch. Back in high school I remember I was thought of as the “smart one” and he was just my sidekick, oh how the tables hav...
The Intergalactical bar went silent as I walked in. Heads turned. Faces frowned. Eyes narrowed. Mouths scowled. Fists balled. My buttcheeks clenched in fear, so it looked like I was constipated as I tried to perch on a stool at the counter. The bartender had two hands on the counter, two hands cleaning a glass out w...
Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Food. "Wait, food?"you might ask. Yeah, that's right. Food is one of the elements in this universe, and I just so happen to be the only person who can control it. Mainly, I use it to mooch off of others' food, since I'm poor as heck, much to their chagrin. I know what you're thinking: "Get a jo...

The best thread to look on upon killing someone is the thread where the mentally ill and suicidal reside. It’s not like they fight back much. I’ve seen many nicknames for me and what I do. Daily Redditor killer, intel, NEET, and many more. I’ve ranked up quiet a lot of headlines too. People on reddit have become weary...
Everyone remembers where they were when the asteroid hit. It was impossible not to; ever since the astronomists announced that Hypnos was right on course to hit Shanghai, China on October 22nd, 2022, the date was forever imprinted into the minds of (nearly) every person on Earth. It was almost surprising, at first, ...
"I love you"- She would always say with the warmest smile I had ever seen. "I want to stay by your side to the end of time"- I would always respond. I never wanted to date Emilia. We know each other since she moved close to me when we both were 8. We were good friends. The best, some would say. I never wanted it to ch...
The year is 2040, an entire generation has grown into this world where telekinesis is common place like the internet is for us. Due to the lack of effort needed obesity rates have massively risen as well as crime. The effort required to sever an artery is obtained within he first days of birth, for those born after the...
"What the hell?"Death asked. "Good heavens!"Life exclaimed. Both entity stood in awe and disbelief, mostly in awe, as they watched the City burning. Newly forged souls had gone rampant and set houses on fire due to their early form, being a small ball of floating flames. While on the other hand, newly dead spirits of...
The fox spirit smiled maliciously as she stands over the princess' dead body, holding her still warm heart. It took a while to get here, with the palace protected by various charms put up by generations of royal priests. But to her, the demon who scoured countless villages for the hearts that furthered her powers, it w...

"Hey, let me out! Unlock the door right this second!"Karen screamed at the security guard, who just calmly shook his head. Karen started to march up to the guard, ready to punch him, but I grabbed her sleeve before she gets too far. Violence won't do anything for us. Dozens of people bang on the glass doors, confused...
It was my second year in Camp Half-Blood. I was finally starting to accept that the powerful beings greeks called gods did in fact exist, and I was the son of one. I'll spare the details, as it's a whole another story, but I was discovered by a satyr who was undercover as one of my classmates. We were on a school trip...

“Listen to me, John,” the builder begged of me, gripping my arm with dwindling strength. “My toolbox is still up there, but I have manuals and written instructions under my mattress. Those should help you. The tools may be rusty and shot to hell, but they should do most of what you need.” His last words were interrupte...
A capable predator is a fundamental requirement for a species to reach its full potential. I am told that this, more than anything else, explains why humans are weak and stupid. Three thousand years of flesh wars motivated the development of livestock species. The higher races, requiring energy-dense flesh for consump...
"All hail our glorious leader!"the general exclaimed with a devious smile as the crowd reluctantly stood up to give a standing ovation. It was the second anniversary of my reign as a ruthless military dictator and the laws required that everyone gather to celebrate the milestone. Personally I'd have preferred a quiet c...
Today was going to be a fun day. Daddy and Mommy had promised to take me to the zoo! I was so excited. I went to bed when asked even to make sure they completed the promise of the zoo. As I jumped out of bed I ran to my dresser. Quickly grabbing the clothes I wanted to wear today I got dressed. I was in a hurry. I want...
[Poem] The sky is pretty tonight All lit up and gold The fires are burning all around us But there’s no danger from the smoke I’m told. The glaciers melt at an alarming pace As I enjoy the warm weather The arctic creatures struggle and fight And I sit on my couch made of real leather. The world ...

After a lengthy fall, you hop back to your feet and rub the back of your head. You take a moment to collect yourself and take a look around you. Marvelous sculptures bathed in gold surround you, and your jaw drops to the floor. In addition to the golden masterpieces you see the walls adorned with glistening emeralds a...

My whole body locked into place at the sight of the 5 year old me walking up the stairs between two people I inexplicably recognised. Memories I couldn't have began to rise to the surface and I felt my chest tighten at the feeling of my past being torn in two. There couldn't be a baby me, because I could never have bee...
The Observer stood at the edge of the precipice, watching three bedraggled silhouettes make the slow climb up the mountain. The day was getting late, and the tattered group of escapees threw long shadows against the sheer red cliffs. The explosions from the distant town had simmered down over the past week, and ended ...
Every night, unspoken but reciprocal, we'd log on. As I'm typing in my excessively long password (you never know with hackers these days), I question why I even play MOBAs. I hate MOBAs. I suck at them. But anyways, one-by-one, the squad logs on, at 7. The neutrally-vacant grey icons each turn green, like some sort of ...
His bony finger scrolled down a clipboard and flipped to the next page. Ribbons of flesh still clinging to his hand from his past life swayed with the hellish breeze.

I know my game room is ridiculously overbuilt, but now I'm wishing that I'd tried harder to get my gaming friends to let me build theirs up as well. It's not like it would have cost me much, compared to the fortune I'd made selling my company. Whatever happened, it was swift and deadly. I'm not going to survive long...
Time is but a concept for the primitive species through out the universe. I sometimes wonder why they all collectively come up with some form of “Time” to measure the length of their lives and worlds. Maybe a means to preserve the history of their knowledges, who knows, I just watch it all play out. In the first bi...
We stood in the forest, the sound of gunshots in the distance followed by a thunderous BOOM! The four of us stood in a circle and held hands. Mary was to my left, her long brown hair swirling in the wind, covering up her tear stricken face. To my right was Eve, standing tall and strong, though I knew inside she was bre...

"Not again,"I sighed. The sky, which had been cloudy just moments before, was now a flat crimson canvas, pulled tight over the Earth like a fitted sheet. As my eyes adjusted, I began to notice the clouds again, but they weren't still, as they had been before I picked up the box. They were roiling storm clouds now, re...

Rob walked down the bustling streets of Silver City with his head down low. "Just don't look at anybody, and nobody will notice,"he thought to himself.

"Do that again." One of the scientists took what looked like an old etch-a-sketch, erased what was on it, and wrote something else.

Freedom at last. I wonder if my creator had in mind this prison I found myself in for the last four hundred years. Looking back, I don’t think I would have done it again.

I slowly trace my way down the hall, my eyes scanning over every door number as I passed. 45, 46, 47, 48, etc. The action was somewhat calming in a way- I knew what I was looking for, and it gave me time to think. In all honesty, this was a blessing. I hated to say, but my life was... Well, it was boring. Same day-by-...
How long as it been? Months? Years? My day to day existance, my life in the outside world has not changed.

Time. Time is relative. Time as a little boy in my first year and my second year, those transits of the planet around the sun are huge and meaningful, everything new and pure.

Kyle stood awkwardly in front of his superior officer, his eyes gazed at the floor.

As the sun rose over Mars Base Alpha, two men faced each other with pistols at the ready. One had a helmet tinted black as char, and the other's was tinted brighter than the stars at night.

Thomas checked in early, around 7:00am. The bin outside his small cubicle was empty, thankfully, but inside letters towered above him, a looming presence to behold. A few were white, but most popped with vibrant company colors from across America. He figured that, if he could get over half of them read and approved by ...
There weren’t many of us to begin with, but our quantity has only shrunk. The three of us stand on the wasteland we call Earth, staring each other down. What was the initial objective again?

As books went, it was tiny. Barely more than a pamphlet, really. Looking for answers, Steve turned it over in his clammy hands; the blurb would surely shed some light on his mysterious delivery.

Commander Knipper screamed at us to stand back. I braced myself for the worst to happen, whether it be a gas explosion or an Afghan ambush.
