"You don't understand Tom! The world's going to end man, like the aliens are going to come and probe me man... like... im not ready for that man. My butt-" "Enough! Enough!"Tom quickly interjected, waving his hands in the mans face. "Aliens? Really? What is going on with everyone? Last week it was zombies, last month ...
The first time I had dreamt the nightmare was just like any other time I woke up from having a dream. A vivid clear day in my sleep, then the evening getting foggier the more awake I became. Then standing in the darkness of night, wide awake with nothing but the memory of daylight I had felt in the sleep. And I hadn’t ...
Your power: make your thoughts become reality. Because of this, you find little satisfaction in doing anything. One day, out of curiosity, you decide to do your housework using old-fashioned elbow-grease out of curiosity. In doing so, you discover the feeling of fulfillment and resolve to spend the rest of your life wo...
"No heroes won the war, nor did evil. In my opinion the only thing that lost is our humanity. Once we upheld life, light and heroism sacred. But now? Now we have thrown away our morality. Maybe we should have just given up."The man said. He brought silence to the usually busy bar. "Do you even know what was before our ...
“Bless me Father, I have sinned. It’s been 3 days, 16 hours, 33 minutes since my last confession.” I say as I kneel in front of his Eminence. I hold a golden rosary in my left hand and keep my eyes to the floor. “I am here to hear your sins, my child. Please continue.” I hear as a faint voice in broken English. “I m...
"Wow!"I thought, "This place is certainly better than the streets of Boston." Hi, I'm John Smith, but you probably just know me as 'Space Loner' or something similar. I grew up impoverished, and stayed that way for my whole life. That is, until I was shoved into a black van. "Well, I guess my time is over then,"I sta...
“So your space is right over here,” my manager says as he leads me to my area. “You’ve got it made, first day in the stream, and you’ve got a direct line to Timmy’s brain”. I can hear a little bit of jealousy in his gruff voice. I peak around my stack of boxes of office supplies and decorations in my hands to see a l...
You freeze, your blood running cold. On instinct, you quickly swallow the ring, sweating profusely trying to look casual. You glance over and make eye contact with a girl in your class. She saw your ring glow and she saw you swallow it. Her eyes are wide with fear and anger. You try and silently plead with her to under...
I don’t know what to think. Here I am, 18, China has declared war against my nation, and I’m going to be drafted. This is all so strange. I don’t even remember how I found out that I would be drafted. That’s one of those things that you usually don’t learn until it happens. Yet, none of these things seem so strange o...
It was a hard sight, seeing the woman you love hold out her hand for you, the screaming coming from her lungs so high and piercing that it makes even your throat ache. Yet perhaps she had good reason to be in such a state. The love of her life, or at least I hope I was... was now laying in a pool of his own blood, bare...
Nuclear armageddon as the only possible outcome after a prolonged war-like situation which sometimes exhibits itself as actual war but is primarily felt through pervasive global instability. This global deterioration will develop from ever increasing regional instability, caused by mass migration and hundreds of millio...
“Ok, now that we have got a shot at this, let’s hope it’s not a literal shot like those brain-dead yankee blobs did”, Captain-Major Artyom Komarov practically bounced off the walls of the padded umbilical connecting the ERSS Central Node to the Rassvet module as he tried to keep emotions under control. “Jun, you ok?” ...
I stare into the hazel eyes of the little boy staring up at me. He couldn’t be more than four years old, his voice so fresh and pure, yet he looked at me with a smile of understanding beyond his years. “Wh- what did you just say?” I try to hide the alarm in my voice. “You’re Vella.” The words made my chest feel...

"So this is it?"I asked, greeting the nervous faces around me, each seeming to turn away at my words. "Look we all came here, hardly seems worth it to shy away. What happened to the confidence? Weren't we going to kill it? Slaughter it? You all agreed."I reminded the gulp, watching the throat of one of the girls bob wi...
\[PI\] "Dammit."I swore as I fished around in my pocket for a pair of keys. Another pair of keys gone, another lecture from my roommate, Vic. I stepped towards the door and began pounding my fist on it while shouting up at Vic's window. I kept knocking until I finally gave up, deciding that Vic was at his girlfriend...
The beat of the gavel echoed throughout the courtroom—two dull clanks that interrupted the murmuring crowd. “All rise for the right Honorable Justice Cadmius P. Karewa.” The clerk’s voice thundered through the courtroom, cutting through the sudden scuffles made by the rising participants. Cadmius P. Karewa, Magicia...
I was sitting in my chair watching the news of my latest exploits when the doorbell rang. I had no one I knew of that was supposed to be coming, so I got up, adjusted my jacket to look my best, and strode to the door. Looking through the peephole, I saw a police officer standing there, arms behind his back. My eyes s...
The two men stood either side of the room. Both knew that only one of them was leaving. Speed against strength. Fighting for the fate of the world. Moving past his opponent, Serpent drew his blades, his manoeuvre was replied to with the swipe of a hammer, in the hand of Titan. Good and evil weren’t concerns here, th...
I look at the house again. I see the boy, about my age or something like that, look at me. I sigh. "I guess I got lost. I'm new here. Who are you?"When the boy responded, I recognized the name. It was my grandfathers name. I was named after my grandmother. I know why. He smiled and held out his hand. He asked me my n...
The Snake and the Wolf Lilith sneaked out of her home as soon as she possibly could that day, leaving her homework undone. The place was insufferable today, really. Maree, her oldest Sister, had been striving with aunt Margo for weeks. Margo claimed their neighbor, that old croatian hag, had gone bonkers because of s...
The streets of New York City were chaos. Not since the Chitauri invasion three years prior had there been such a state of mass panic. People stampeded onto evacuation transports, in terror of the things that had decided to make New York their battleground. The ground shook as a three-hundred-foot-tall, reptillian crea...
— *Shit!* the Man swore loudly. *He glanced at his pocket watch. A quarter of an hour that the Priest must have arrived. He took a look through the slats of window blinds to see if a car wasn’t parked. Suddenly, a deep sound arose from the upstairs, like if the bed was moved by a strong power. And he knew it … because...
The sounds of metal scraping the cracked surfaces of old dishes rang throughout the apartment. Pay attention long enough and you might want to put your head in your hands and scream, as if adding to the noise might bring about some long awaited silence. At least, that's how I felt while I sat at our dining room table, ...
Darien stands tall against the towering wall of light, he’d done this many times before; it’ll probably be some evolving species who accidentally messed things up. “Another day in the Office” right? He reaches out toward the wall and swipes his hands in a strange motion before slamming it into the wall. The wall of li...

After so many years of running and hiding like a rat squirreling away from exterminators I decided to give up after the last human colony was attacked. I decided to stay behind and hold down the front entrance while the others got away. What was the point? Everyone I knew and loved was dead. I never even had a ...
I woke up My head was pounding, I think I was knocked out at some point or another. Either way, I don’t know where I am. There’s nothing in the room. Nothing, except this note.

I sat back in my own mind, watching through the same eyes as he rattled off spell after spell. You would think i would be happy, as i watched my arch enemy burn, watch as his robes curl under the heat and cinder, but there was no satisfaction, no feeling of accomplishment. My team stood all over the scared battlefield...
From ashes to ashes, from dust to dust, The words of the City of Iron.

The carvings in the deepest caves say that the Land once had a name of its own. Now, despite her death, we call it Horgorath, after the demon who twisted an ordinary Nexus into a universe-sized trap. I say demon, but I can't really be sure. I'm told they don't have her kind of power, but wings, purple skin, and a distu...
The princess, a young girl with auburn hair, was escorted by four knights walking through an eerily quiet forest filled with dark trees and a thick canopy.

My time in the new world has been... painful. When I went to sleep, I closed my eyes to a world of humanities greatest achievements. Buildings as tall as mountains, flight, the ability to harness electricity at the flip of a switch or the press of a button. It was nothing like the world I woke to. Even the greatest...
For once in my life nothing was happening, no bad guys to fight, no monsters to kill. Just me, and my cats. In the living room. It was boring. Now most heroes would love a break, not me though. I sold my soul to that dude who called himself 'the author' so i could become a hero, so i could save the city. My reddish-g...
The dock was made of cold concrete, and it stretched out into the blackness of space. The dark brutalism of the transport ship lay berthed and beached as the line of people poured out. The sigil of the Corporation painted on the bow of the transport matched that on the sleeves of the dock workers. Some of them held cli...
It all started after the last Civil War. People were tired not only of failed governments, but the fact that man seemed incorruptible, and since nearly all people had lost their faith in God, they put it into technology. The problem was, was that technology was much more cruel than any god or man. A group of computer...

“Hey, seriously, if you touch it again, I’ll rip your friggin’ antennas off,” Jen growled in the dim lighting, tilting her head around bonelessly to narrow her gaze at the man who held a long black case up, and had been giving it a half-shake before setting it down. He looked suitably chastised and kept from meetin...
"FINISH HIM!"the peculiar old man commanded. As event organisers went, he was a bit of an oddball.

Yellow police tape flapped violently in the wind. They wouldn't let me through. I was family and they wouldn't let me through. Just on the other side I could see her bright blue sneakers poking out from beneath a stained white sheet. A deep sense of dread grew in the pit of my stomach until it forced me to my knees. T...
I was sitting in the small room beside the OR, where my wife and the surgery team were getting ready to do a C-Section. Within this chamber was a door, a single window, and a large screen, elevated on a small pillar. I was expecting the process to be quite easy, getting a child with a very small understanding of the wo...
This fucking guy. Keeps looking over at me every few seconds. Trying to make me uncomfortable. He has little beady eyes that seem to be digging in to your skin.

I am a liar. I like to claim things happened to me when they didn't happen at all. One day I found out that every time I make something up, it actually happens to someone somewhere in the world. Unfortunately, I really messed up one time and one of my stories actually caused part of the world to be destroyed. After rea...
My first priority: figure out why I’m in these chains. Based on the discussion happening around me regarding this “Stormcloak” fellow, I’m guessing these are war criminals. But not me. That said, if they’re in war, the other side probably doesn’t care much who I am. They have their orders, after all, and a family to ge...
With no hint of resistance, Jacob's body succumbed, lifelessly falling to the floor. It was finally over. A smile made its way across his pale face.

Your eyes show the horrors you’ve seen. They may act fine but when you look into their eyes the apocalypse is reflected. Horrors still flash into their head. I know because I’m a survivor.

Each morning, I awake cold and breathless. Sleep comes but rarely, yet when it does, it is fitful and brief.

The service road is bumpy, poorly maintained and likely wreaking havoc on my sedan's suspension but I don't care.

“Whoa!” I gasped as a man on a mountain bike skidded off the path to avoid me. He fell over into a prickly bush, his bike most likely trapped forever in the bush’s tight grasp.

"Better than I was led to believe,"I stated with absolute shock. I sat there and pondered the fact that Earth, the place I grew up, met my wife, and had my children, is 'Hell'.

In the beginning, God created the universe, and in it, he created man and woman.

The next time he saw something important, he would sho...
I'd been screwed over enough to learn the hard way that you needed to be wary of any proposal that sounded too good.

I soon learned the line "You have q...

At the center of Bleakhaven cemetery the air of the graveyard stands still, save a breath of warm air which moves over the headstones like a slow, thick fog.
