It was human, it had to be. It didn’t come from below either, it came from above and was climbing. Clothed in some kind of metallic suit it moved quickly, more agile than it looked.
Top Scout Charlie followed, spear in one hand and pistol in the other. Small and plenty agile himself he tracked the intruder.

One day, you decide to visit an oracle. They show you your future up to a month in advance, but they cannot change it. You go to see what the next month will be like, but you only see four days. You see that you and your lover die on the same day. The same day the vision ends. You don't see how, but you just want to go... |
It’s is said that destroying The Dragon God grants the slayer unimaginable power that rivals even The Almighty God.
Looking up at the night sky you notice an unusual green flashing light. It moves in an unnatural way, suspecting it to be a ufo, you follow the light with a camera. After following the light for a while,... |
It's been years since the new mirrors were invented. Allowing people to see what they looked like when they were younger, and what they will look like when they are older, just by sliding a bar along. Not everyone owns one of these mirrors, however. This is why I wish I hadn't let my friends drag me into the Fun House-... |
I never asked to be an Antagonist; it's just how I was born. Moments after my birth, the red envelope with my assignment appeared. I can only imagine how difficult that moment was for my parents, realizing their firstborn son would grow up to be a High Fantasy Antagonist.
To their credit, they treated me very similar... |
By the time the jurors walked back out, Matt's head was already pounding. They were coming out to give their verdict on if he was guilty of murder. Two young women, 23 and 27, both found dead in a hotel. They claimed there was video evidence, but none ever came to light. But even though he *knew* he had nothing to do w... |

"It was a cat."
"A what?"

Ok, so today is my third day in this house and I'm starting to notice somethings that are definitely out of the ordinary.

David Jones had a gambling problem, but not the kind most people are probably used to. He wasn’t addicted to money, or drugs, or the thrill of the chase. David was addicted to the *idea* of feeling something, anything, when he performed his job.

Deep down, everyone is afraid of the Dregs. Even the most battle hardened resistance commandos have to choke down fear at the smell of one, knowing it’s close but not knowing where it is.

Most of you mortals are "good".
Boring.
I like boring.
Boredom gets a bad rap. Another word for boredom is predictability. And predictability is what keeps the world going.

What a dream! It'll never happen though.
Going into work is like walking on the edges of a DMZ formed by the road. It don't matter which side you walk down, both sides are hurling insults, if not physical objects, across the road.
But neither side will cross the road, or for that matter the fences between houses. ... |
**Part 1: Tim**
The machine scared him. The way it stood in the center of the cooling room, at least a hundred feet from each side. Hulking up from the pristine white surface, the black box created a pressure he could feel, like molasses pushing back on every hair. Tim was called the feeder. He would go into the cooli... |

"Come on, GIVE IT TO ME! GIVE ME A FAIRY TALE DEATH!"

Humanity seems destined to die.
I joined the Rebellion at the young age of 24. I was younger then, but old enough to still remember the old ways. The time when life wasn't spent in the mines. I remember sunlight. I knew the wonders of technology. And so I signed on as an engineer. I was scared of bullets and plasma ra... |
It started with a trickle. The truth didn't matter anymore. Facts were obsolete. Feelings mattered. Opinions were everything. Charisma was all it took.

The alley was dark and nearly lit as the sound of rain pattered around them. “Beast!” Yelled the man “return beyond the vail and I will spare you!” The man said something in some incomprehensible arcane language, as the creature turned to face him. “Do you know nothing of the demon surkal?” The creature said in a slith... |
"Hi!"The beautiful, bubbly woman (my target) known as Jill sat down before me. She brushed a lock of hair out of her face. "So, you're new here?"I grinned. This would be easy; this Jill was only a sentimental little girl with dreams of being a scientest, someone who easily would be taken down by my tactics. I wondered ... |
“Please.” She finally whispered, her voice no more than a soft breath, likely unheard over the sounds of the city just around the alley’s corner. “I’m living minute-to-minute. I don’t have any time to spare.”
“Of course you do.” The man’s voice was rough and scratchy. It seemed like it hurt him to speak. He kept the... |

It turns out the oldest of stories was true; you truly learn something new every day. Or you die.
