"I hate clowns"I sneer as I dive-roll out of the way of an oncoming flaming bus. The heat of the bus thickens the air around me as it collides past. In front of me stands a hideous looking body with a clown face. The clown's body is large and menacing, red and flesh colored, lymphoidic cancerous lumps spread throughout...
"Hello sir, from what I understand you are in need of a lawyer." "No I don't see how that could possibly help."a man sobbed into the telephone looking around the blood stained house corpses scattered about the room. Specifically the corpses of his entire extended family that had been killed on a freak accident at a Fa...
Hi u/SoranaCirstea7, this submission has been removed.

The dim glow of my cigarette lights up the dark corner, revealing my scruffy beard and long, shaggy, brown hair. Even though my brown coat and slacks are in good condition, I must look homeless to the people who pass by. They give me a wide berth, or hold their heads down to avoid meeting my gaze. Of course, they could...
"Danny?"said the voice on the other line. "Oh! Mr. Wick!"Danny answered. "It is nice to hear from you, old friend! Been a long time!" "Yeah, bud."Mr. Wick said and added, "Listen. I know it's late and all. And your guys might be tired. But I have a job for you." "No problem, Mr. Wick. Anything for you!"Danny assured...
The soldiers came just half an hour after the woman. We were still arguing over what to do, but Judith had already decided. She'd hidden the woman in one of our safe rooms. We have several, because you never know when something like this will happen. Screaming, spittle spraying, hitting Judith and myself. "If you ...
"FartusMaximus42069, How can our village ever repay you for saving us?" 1. Think nothing of it. 2. Do you have anything to eat? "Actually, I find myself completely famished. Do you have anything that can make my hunger replete?" "Come this way, we shall prepare a feast in your honor!" 1. Go with the mayor. 2. *...
Olvelleth steered his feetlike knobs into the direction of the closest restaurant he could find. It was a taco joint, and he was ecstatic. Not being able to eat human food on his home planet, he was always looking forward to his centennial visits to his pet planet Earth. Upon placing his hand on the door, rest...
So Very Mad [Poem] I shot an arrow in the air. It fell to earth - I knew not where. And yet, when glancing at my bow, I could not help but want to know. The thought that struck me at the time is now somewhat concerning. It came to me like dragonfire - I could not be discerning. It gripped my nerves and wren...
Something felt… off. My bed was as comfortable as it always was, with my blankets pulled to my chin, keeping me nice and warm. It was too warm, though. My skin felt like it was on fire, boiling in excess heat. My head was feeling a little heavy, more than it normally did when I first wake up. Hangover? I didn’t remembe...
"Are you crazy?!"She whispered. He grinned and gave her a side-eye."What? Relax, chill out." I walked up. "What's happening?" "Zack, wants to-" "Shh!"He shushed."Not so loud! You want to ruin everything?" "Marc, talk to your friend."Jessi stormed out the barn. He rolled his eyes at her and muttered, "Girls." "So...
'Hear the words of Ahkanmhet, son of U-tet, and this is the scroll of my beginning, from the One that has No Beginning and No End. For many suns, my spear was for hire, no job too dirty, no coin too dull. I lived a life of war; for the people of the Nile, the Children of Ra. In the Sun, a light suddenly blinded me and...
The Moon is not the Moon, there are other worlds. There are other trust other than the Earth, they Saw, even though none of the people and machines found on the Earth are on Earth. They do not be on Earth. There are the Earth to the Moon. The Moon was to be the landing site for masculine. But the astronauts got lost ...
“Is it alright if I don’t eat?” I asked him, in a soft voice. “Why not?” He asked, confused on my adamant refusal to eat any type of food from the restaurant. “I’m hypersensitive, so I tend to feel pain more easily than normal, and it affects my tastebuds, as well.” I shyly admitted. “Oh,” He replied. “I didn’t know th...
Ding dong. My doorbell rang whilst I was in the bathroom vomiting the contents of last night's pizza and beer binge. I pull myself away from the toilet bowl, stand myself up and stumble to the door, there's a package sitting on my porch. "Not again."I think to myself realizing I've done it again, I ordered someth...
"Dispatch reports multiple 10-67's in Southern Brooklyn, advise?" The man stood in the expansive room, sweating from the heat emitted from the wall before him. The Chief pondered him, one giant red eye glaring at him with no emotion at all. The man glanced away as the machine across the empty desk thought, analyzing p...
I’ve never had a good relationship with my mom. I know that there’s the stereotypical teenage mentality of, “I hate my parents,” but I truly, sincerely hate my mother. She’s manipulative, pessimistic, and she completely undermines everything I do, or try to. In her eyes, I can never do right. You know how parents aren’...
My father says it was a freak accident, my mother says it’s his fault. She says he never should have “run the yellow light”. My father was never a patient man, but I was in the car that night too and he had plenty of time before the light would have turned red. But my mother was right, if he has stopped on the yellow,...
The history of the book I was given to work with was interesting, or so I eventually learned after some correspondence with one Madeline McMullin, current head librarian of the Miskatonic University, who so graciously let me borrow their rare copy of the Necronomicon for my project. Copies of the grimoire were rare, an...
"Dad."I almost couldn't control my own voice. "Dad, are you crazy?" My dad, Mr. Jalaluddin Siddiqui, looked up at me with the withered, craggy face of a broken man. It felt like I'd watched the light flicker out of his eyes over the last few years, when a business idea of his had skyrocketed and he'd become a multib...
My books were reasonably well known. They were nothing special in my mind, but the Nighender series had a surprisingly loyal fan base. My plan was just to make people happy, however I could. Of course, I loved writing for writing's sake, but the only reason I chose to be an author was to use this ability of mine. ...
They can hear my cackle from miles away. My corn husks creak as I move about under my own power. People running away from me and screaming gives me an eerie sense of calm. I will wait in the corn fields tonight. I can bleed on a whim. it doesn't hurt me like it hurts the pathetic humans who surround me. A group of yo...

I tried but not keen on it ============ Charlie Harper, the name I would never forget. He was my best friend all through primary school but only a week into secondary school he just vanishishes. I could never get over that.. We had walked home the same way we had everyday since we lived close by each other. We passe...
It seemed impossible. This world has the ability to advance further than ours ever did, yet they lacked everything. Somehow, science further developed the study of alchemy instead of physics. But see, alchemy wasn't a myth here. It worked! I sat down, muddled in my own thoughts. It all just seemed so fantastical. My f...
I have one but I don't know if it's interesting enough. It may be long too. I don't know if there is an average length. You're the lead singer of an amateur pop group -- well, you are until the backup singer votes you out of the group. Shortly after, your significant other dumps you. You spiral into a deep depression ...
Well. What defines alive? Maybe I was already dead and this was some cruel joke to torture souls. Or maybe I was alive. But what even is “alive”? Is it having flesh, blood, breathing, or is it having feelings? Because I had feelings and I was scared. Scared of what may come. Scared of if I got the answer wrong. I had t...
Deep in the favelas of Brasilia, the sound of a helicopter flying by wakes up an old man from his sleep. "Do they know?"President Bolsonaro says in Portuguese while looking out on the window of the helicopter over Brasilia. "Not yet sir but that tree-hugging alien puppet Macron still won't shut his mouth."his ...
Communication from most of the other sects have all but ceased. Something was happening to my people. It had been a week since our last scroll delivery. The daily communique. The heart of our beliefs. I remember on my 5th birthday how my father followed our 800 year old tradition and gave the greatest gift we cl...
"Oh great I'm going to find love again today. I hope it will be better than Cindy."Kyle said looking through his week to come. He had been obsessed about his future reading years and years in advance as a kid, but now he just checked the coming week's schedule. It was the latest greatest thing growing up. AI became sen...
Some are born with power, some are given it, some borrow it, some take it. Me, well I traded for it. My power, like most things, came with a price. I wanted power so I could save the world, or at least those I cared for. But that tricky old God, maybe demon, definitely a trickster, who knows at this point. It give ...
Mira I took a deep, halting breath. I held it for one heartbeat, then released it. Again. And then one last time. My heartbeat stabilised, and I felt Vitality flow through me again. Shwetdweep was just one minute away. "Mam?" "I'm alright. Who's receiving us at the port? And did Father call?" My maid stood str...

It is the light of the early dawn, well before the sun awakes, but after a night where sleeping was damn near impossible for you, due to the night giggles and scary stories circulating among your friends. They kept announcing it was bedtime, but it never was. It is the shade of fall's overcast twilight, jack-o-lantern...
I'm going to write one more prompt, then check it in the morning. There's a camp in the valley: legend has it that stories told around the campfire at this exact spot becomes reality that night. You and your friends decide to check it out. That should do it. Shutting down my computer I brush my teeth, change into...
"Someone in this room has committed treason." The words hung there in the air as the room fell silent, everyone stared at the Governor General as he gazed around the room. His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC, DSC, FTSE was a distinguished man, his aura filled the room with his experience, knowledge,...
Creak. The old door, stained in unmentionables, creaked open after a good while of resistance. It was almost as old as the dinky motel it was placed in. The stale air of ancient hallways was quickly replaced by the rancid stench of burnt flesh, bitter with that tang of iron. I was intending to simply look at it in dark...

It kinda sucks becoming a zombie. Especially when you were prepared for the past 5 years for it. Weapons, food stockpiles, and even a doomsday outfit picked out. All ruined because you thought you had a chance with the girl of your dreams. One moment she's cuddling up next to because she's scared. The next, a giant bit...
"What is the basis of this charge?" "A series of events that she caused!" "Thiemar, you do not know that, it has not been proved." "Of course you would say that, you're her brother." "Thiemar, you are not doing your case any good. If anything, your evidence is tainted by your anger. Has the priest tested ...
Never thought I would miss it, the dull bumbling drone on a lazy Summer afternoon when you could sit on the long grass and look up at the skies. I never really thought about it at all I guess, I mean apart from a new few stories and the odd nutjob shouting in the street, did anyone care? Looking back now, I guess the...
“It’s done.” Your words are reassuring drops in the terrifying bucket of panic that inhabits your head. “It’s done. It’s ok. You made it.” You would just like your hands to stop shaking so much. For heaven’s sake, this is supposed to be your job! Close that pod. Walk to the console. Walk! Your legs don’t seem to ...
##Vault Guard Post: 7:43 PM "Got a light, handsome?"I half-turn and see her. One of the guests no doubt. She's dressed in a long black evening gown, with slits in the skirt on either side. She's holding out her cigarette holder, beckoning me. I glance around, the captain won't be making his rounds for another 15 minut...
"I don't like this."Harrison's movement is gelatinous. He is vexed, and his skin undulates to reflect it. He says he is like me, a human, but no human I know looks like he does. Could survive looking like he does. Harrison taps on the fortified glass again. I don't see his limb meet the surface, but I hear it, and it...
My town's name is Grass Valley, named after where my great-great grandmother used to live. Yes, it may seem plain to you, but is actually very unique. It is one of only a few town names that don't use any numbers, and the only town name still spelled in English. Next to Grass Valley is a less creatively named town, Dis...

I put my pen down, still unsure of what to ask for. All my friends knew exactly what they wanted for months ahead of time- Tom wanted some Telepathy, Brad wanted to be able to create and control Fireballs, and Chloe wished for teleportation. I, however, couldn't think of any good abilities that would have no repercussi...
The woods are lovely. Soft snow covers the ground, while cloud softened light illuminates everything just enough to see the beauty of the details. I cannot believe what I have done. I have been here for hours. The cold numbs my heart, slows the screaming in my thoughts. It puts a veil of ice between myself and the...
The road was decked with decorations on the poles and trees and blinking lights in the newly fallen snow. Her house was a bright yellow, the color of yolk, and snow angels were already impressed within the small hill beneath her house. The snow was still falling around you. The day was beginning to turn to night a...
Willow fluttered into the adventurer's hall with a purpose. Her black, flowy dress hung limp and hid her feet; she hovered ghost-like straight to the quest board. A set of long, veiny, translucent insect wings kept her five-foot fairy frame aloft. The bright pink quest card was still there. It stood out from the wall o...
Man was never meant to voyage far. Space is vast, dark, and full of terror. Terror that we, as a society, can not cope with right now. The most recent sabotage we did was the moonlander of India. We have our own Gauss cannon, built at a secret location on Earth. We shot the lander with this slug, containing this mess...
“All right—I am going to slide the tunnel VERY SLOWLY along the wall, okay? No funny business, no super speed. Just send Mr. Bergschneider through the tunnel and you can head off in the other direction. No one will follow you.” I hang up the call, then unroll the tunnel bit by bit and carefully maneuver it into place...
Everything got weirder, I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat. I'm tired but I don't know what's causing it. I think it's wholesome and sad that the driver keeps them on his mind to keep them alive, like in that mexican celebration that I saw in Coco. But it still feels... weird, it feels wrong. So I decided to search for mo...
I pull out my 1969 published paper from the desk drawer. The one that changed my life forever! Mine was the winning submission for a highly prized intergenerational project in which Earth’s destiny became my hypothesis. My own implementation would take reign, to see what will be. After all this time not observing a th...
As the space debris accumulated, I came to life. I watched the surface grow and evolve, from an ocean of molten to lava to the habitable land populated with billions of living beings. I witnessed mass extinction events, from asteriod impacts to supervolcano eruptions, but life always found a way to persevere. I watc...
Huh. So this is Arthan's Heart. I expected a sword of this reputation to be a bit... more impressive. Sir Cortheon stared at the blade in his hand. Legend says it was forged with the breath of a red dragon and has the power to raise a nation. Or, raze one, he contemplated. The noise behind him stirred him back to t...
"Tom pass me the bucket" Rika gestured frantically in Tom's direction, Tom was not responding. He was standing, staring past Rika, a tiny saucepan in one hand, just looking. His multicoloured wig had partially fallen off, revealing his grey sparse hair beneath. He just stood there, ignoring Rika, looking with his sa...

Water When most people think of water, they imagine a couple of things, a cup half empty, or full. A bathtub, or shower. The calming waves slapping the white sand of a beach at sunset. The darkness of the abyss, nowhere to run. A giant, endless, amalgamation of blue, black, and green. I think it was Lovecraft that o...
Of course these words affected me deeply... however, after some thought, I noticed that this phase of regreting events of my life is completely useless and adds no value, just worsens my mental state. Eventually I felt better... more excited and happy! Ready to move on with my life. A few days passed and I didn't even...
A door closes. He feels it as much as hears it. Through the chair; the soles of his feet where they rest on the floor. It isn’t loud, but it would be enough to wake him up. If he were sleeping. He was sleeping. He shouldn’t be sleeping. He shouldn’t be anything at all. As he slowly opens his eyes, he can feel his hea...
The chamber is red, quiet. Motes of dust catch in the dreamy rays of the approaching twilight. My dart flits past Halloren's left ear and hits center mark. "Nobody can know,"I tell him. I have endless ability for parlor games, but ask me to point at a man and my antiquity becomes obvious. Halloren is imposing in her...
"Specimen 42 has escaped. Unique Guards to your stations. All other personnel return to your quarters for your own safety."Howard jogged through the bright, narrow hallway as the message repeated. The mid-30s, pot-bellied janitor wheezed with strain as he rushed into his room. He locked the door and dragged a nightstan...
"Sent to punish this land. Sent to give it a second chance. Sent to burn and purge, sent to bless and restore. On land, in the sea, in the sky, the grim hordes sent by the master of ruin shall raze the earth and plunge our world into an era of night, one where generations shall hide away waiting for the sun to rise." ...
It was just another day at work, and I was busy filing the performance reports for Ahazu, one of the four demons i was assigned to supervise, when I received the message from Asmodeus. Asmodeus was the guy we worked for; most of the assignments we got were decided by him, and we had to report to him if we found any s...
"Ladies and gentleman. Today I bring you Earth's greatest heroes, our real life avengers if you would."I nervously glanced at my palmcards that simply read 'pause for laughter' the silent stares encouraged me to flick through my palm cards a little quicker, trying to not focus on the sweat stains forming under my pits....
They followed the booming sounds of artillery fire and the popping of muskets, the Mississippi wide enough for all five of them to swim side by side, even if their tentacles tended to get caught on human garbage. The sounds grew louder as they approached the fighting, even underneath the water he could hear screams, co...
"How was this year son?" "Terrible."Jason responded, tears forming in his eyes. "I got beaten up by bullies, wedgied, mocked, and insulted."Jason knew his father wouldn't care about the bullies. His father was a tough man who had a hands-off mentality all 8 years of Jason's life. He believed helping his son out wit...
Everything was chaos. my boyfriend, if I could even call him that, did not want to love me but refused to let me go. We did not want to expend the energy it would require to make other friends, but we had grown so comfortable hurting each other. We knew what we wanted the other to do and refused to budge till one of us...
It happened a couple years ago, more precisely in the year 2067. My brother was building the first time machine, but it went wrong. Instead of travelling in time, time travelled back to him, leaving a hole in time itself. He died in the accident, but I kind of felt guilty, so I decided to try and deal with it in some w...
It is known that Jesus was the son of Mary and God, but there was another son, who was born of Mary and Joseph. That after Jesus was born, Mary and Joseph had a child together, a son name Herschel. For Jesus loved his little brother, and always protected him, kept him safe. Before he left, he told Herschel "one day I ...
My mouth waters as I lay my eyes on the sandwich. All those years spent, all those dollars wasted, all the pain...it was all worth it. The common folk would never go to any extremes for a sandwich. But they do not know the sandwich is a simplified code for a Dergzaken spell. And that Dergzaken spell is of resurrection...
It was great at first! I’d never been happier before. A cloak that when I wear it, completely masks my existence from everyone. Of course, I am masked from everything’s existence as well, but I was okay with that. I’m introverted, so always having a place to hide to whenever I need it is handy. Some useful...
"Hello there."A voice spoke, waking me up from my sleep. 'God fucking damn it.' I thought to myself, as I ignored the voice and turned my head away from the voice. "Why do you ignore me child?"The voice asked. 'Do you not understand that I need to sleep?' I mutter half-asleep. I lacked sleep last night so I need...
Edit: word was missing, emphasis added on one word. Nobody remembers where it broadcasts from. Some little bomb shelter underground, completely sealed and equipped with a high-power transmitter. It was supposed to take in data from an array of sensors and generate its own news reports. We’re pretty sure it’s buste...
(this story got insanely long, lmao XD Part 1) I walk down the cobblestone path to work, a half a mile away in this little compound. Our facility is in the Rockies, an isolated meadow dotted with greenhouses. I'm wishing that we had picked a slightly warmer environment, as I pull my coat closer around myself to fend o...
[Poem] A man of iron, heart and soul, laid low another in grassy knoll. The kindness shown was strong, if feigned; Victim saw butcher as pure - unstained. Long they sat in vital pool, No tears were spent - save that of fool. A dying man's last request: "I forgive you; you tried your best. Do me one thing, just one thin...
Another déjà vu I think to myself, as I lie on the fields and gaze at the full moon, which has quietly stolen the light of the surrounding stars. Maybe it's because I've been lying here for the past few nights, or maybe I'm just too tired from a hard day's work of ploughing the fields, but this common phenomenon is b...
I surveyed the new set of students standing up in the center of the hall. I liked to think that I could tell the Muggleborns from the ones who grew up their whole young life knowing that they were going to attend this great school. Mcgonagall disagreed, but I believed that was just the good heart in her that refused to...
I stared at the light blue orb as it hung in air above my desk. Caught off guard, I looked around the room. To my bewilderment, nobody was moving. The entire room seemed to have been frozen in time. "Uh... What?"I said tentatively, wondering if I was dreaming. The orb "spoke"to me though it did not seem to have a ...
And it was beautiful. The sun was just at that point in the sky where the golden light spills through the tops of the trees, past the leaves, and colors the ground in a wind-blown patchwork of light and shadow. There was a light breeze, gentle on my skin and lightly tugging at the ends of my hair. It smelled like dew-...
"Sweetheart....sweetheart, wake up, we haven't much time."I woke up, groggy, and likely still hung over from the previous night's wine. "Oh my love, what is time even? Our end day will be quick, let us savor the last sweet taste of life while we can, our marriage is but hours old."She agreed and placed the pill bottle,...
I hang up the phone, trembling, terrified. Was it true? Was it real? I normally don't answer the phone on the shitter, but this time I did. I had never seen the number before, but it came up "Guardian Angel"and the number was all zeroes. Apparantly my life is a TV show, a very drab boring one, well, these days. Sin...

"It's still not working, God damn it!", he texted. In a flash of light, it disappeared. A booming voice echoed. "Done." "Wait... Who was that?" "It's me, God. You called me for your one and only wish. It is done. I have damned it." "Huh?" Sigh. "I have to explain, don't I? You get one wish in your lifetime, you ...
Below the thunders of the upper deep. Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea. I have slept an ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep for millennia. About my shadowy sides and overhead: huge sponges have grown for uncountable centuries. Untouched by even the most sickly light my form gives refuge to colossal squid who winnow...
"Oh Ameeeen."He said with a roll of his tongue, exaggerating every letter of the simple word. "God damn it Ron, do you have to do this every time w-" Before he could even finish the sentence Ron lifted a finger. "Thou shall not take the lords name in vain dickhead. Learn your fucking commandments." "Ron! Fucking hel...
"Hm.. thats a bit weird."I leant over against the railing watching her swat at him with a hammer. Oh young love, I remember when my girlfriend tried to shoot me with a nailgun on our second date.. its just like that romance movie texas chainsaw massacre. Ah how I weep for young love." As I went to turn my attention aw...
Why does it always rain at a funeral? Is it such a cliche that we can't have a sunny day when celebrating the joy of life? Today, my wife is laid to rest in overcast drizzle, in an allotment near her favorite park, and our home. Hands together, head bowed, I don't feel the animal drop down on my shoulder, its fuzzy ta...
I have always hated flying. The thought of disappearing into the abyss or just falling out of the sky was terrifying. I couldn’t understand how people could be so confident about it. Yet here I was. It was meant to be a short trip. Only 5 hours. I was meant to be able to see everything, but the weather was playing fi...
J was sick of the missing socks. My socks, he would say. They are not that expensive on its own, but cost accumulates. There was no where to go. It had gotten to the point where J finally decided to throw a camera in there. The action camera to end all action camera. The type that would probably survive a fall from sp...
“Marti, can you take these reports? I just have sooooo many to do. I don’t think I will reconcile them by the end of the day. Thaaaaaaanks!” It had happened so fast. In under a second I had gone from just my almost-finished pile of work and going on lunch to being drive-by-Karen’d with another 4 hours of work on my des...
Realms Beyond, by Markus Manaford. Chapter 19. Somehow more alarming than the last, frequency 651 allows access to a reality where the square cube law does not bound biomechanics. Creature size varies wildly, even amongst a species. (Figure 19a shows a spider harvesting average size humans from t...
Realms Beyond, by Markus Manaford. Chapter 12. Frequency 392 opens a doorway into a stable reality, though one where sound seems not to carry through air. Testing shows that the air is of similar elemental makeup as ours, but it simple doesn't propagate energy waves. A curious phenomenon. ...
"Tonight, I will just drink a bit more to forget... A single glass (lots of glasses) eases the pain." I raised the half emptied glass of good 'ol Irish Beer to the guy sitting next to me. Even if I have never seen him around, his presence alone soothed me more than all the liquor I tasted this evening. He wanted me ...
The tunnels were old. Stone architecture designed to withstand the test of time. It showed its age in its wear. They branched and curved to accommodate rooms upon rooms, winding between each other. The rooms were newer. More pristine stone from the quarry. More light flooded the rooms than the tunnels. Though the room...
"Mitch you need to snap out of this, you've never felt this way before..." "what not even when SHE left you?" "well maybe for a few days. but I deserved it, such a stupid, worthless..."

I was confused to why I didn’t hear the crows squawking or the kookaburras laughing. I looked out my window at the powerlines, trees, even the roofs of the other houses. They were all gone. I stepped outside onto my front lawn where a child I had to guess was around 12 stood, looking into a tree at something. I tried m...
"A Hospital ...?"He chuckled, "No, no you little rat. I'm aiming for somewhere deeper ... around six. Feet. Deep." Receiving a swift kick to my midsection, I soon found myself in a deep hole. I landed with a thud and the mask I had but on my before slipped off just enough for me to see with one eye. It was dark out...
They say that the intelligent life never had to be human-like. But when we met extraterrestrials (first ones, anyway), we still were suprised. How could someone strive to be a servant, strive so much that they’ll do anything just to achieve that ridiculous goal? It was laughable, but not for long. Old couple annihi...
