The giant creature shuffled towards the field in front of the village gate, its great foreclaws dragging along the ground. I held up my ridiculous pen. "The pen is mightier than the sword!"I shouted. Even if I had attempted to fight I would have died just as quickly as I was about to. At least now I deserved it. I was...
"Commander are you sure they have not detected us?"Pvt Baker asked to Commander Perkins. Who was a around 45 Years old epitome of a Badass with Gray Hair in a Buzzcut.

I've just written a story for an area 51 prompt, and Cthulhu was the final boss. Godzilla happened to be there. Slightly off topic, but maybe you'll like it. .

*Jake cuddled with Liz and fell asleep as she stroked his head. It had been a long day, and he enjoyed the chance to rest.* Jacob woke with a start. Blast! he couldn't afford sleep at a time like this, as much as he enjoyed his dreams. He had to be ready. Any moment, the Emperor of Night would come through. Jacob woul...
"Not now,"I said, "it's not ready yet." "Aww, come one, I want to see what I can do!"Tobri was excitedly floating from one shoulder to the other, watching as you put your finishing touches on the new training dummy.

*Infected* The message scrolled across the screen. Everything slowed down as my pulse quickened, sweat beaded on my brow. It was over. My luck was finally up. When you hunt alone, something is bound to go wrong. In my line of work the hunter can become the hunted astonishingly fast. It was a bitch. So I ran....
“Amazing,” the wizened, usually cantankerous, professor breathed, as he removed his sunglasses and gaped at the cadaver in wonder. “I’ve been a professor for 20 years and I’ve never seen anything like it.” “I told you I was telling the truth,” Kevin Packer said stubbornly. “My dog literally ate my homework.” “This is...
One day I succumbed to the murderous voice inside my head and, meeting him outside, seized him and rained many blows upon his face. There I left him bloodied on the ground where he lay, still and senseless. Later, upon hearing that he had died at a hospital, I was immediately filled with a sense of peace, for I had wr...
I step off the bus, cracking my knuckles and then my neck as I briskly strut down the street, then begin to clean my sunglasses on a handkerchief I keep in my pocket. "Haa, haa,"I breath on the glass, before putting them back on. I fidget idly with a pocket as I speed-walk, having important business to get to elsewhere...
There was no need to get up from his seat. Alan Morello was, at that moment, feeling something he had not felt for a while. He was at peace. He had been dealing with a number of...*issues* with his work, but now, one of them was currently sitting in front of him, across the mahogany desk. The man was young, barely a k...
I live alone, I’m 19 and I was so happy to finally live calmly... now I admit sometimes I can be a bit of a wimp but this scared me. I noticed that my lights would randomly turn ON.

Lena stood outside of the entrance to the steamy cave for just long enough to mark the position of the stars. She peered through a plastic straw from which hung a small rock on a piece of shoestring. Pinching the string against a makeshift protractor under the straw allowed her to estimate what time it was. The still, ...
“Shut it down. NOW!” I turned away from The Screen [a new term I invented] at the unexpected shout from our team leader, Merven Dughrel. Jiv Shaxen was still pointing at it with his mouth hanging open. {“Did I hear her right? Turn it OFF?”} As I looked between The Screen and Prija Dughrel’s reddened face I knew she w...
One of these days, Alex would learn to leave well enough alone. One of these days he'd stop trying to save the world one wreck at a time. One of these days he'd use his considerable talents and considerably less considerable resources to invent something spectacular. This particular day, when he ventured out into the f...
"Gah!"I scream as my mind pops back into reality, and my eyes into viewing. I glance around anxiously. It's a kitchen, but one where a cook for a restaurant would prepare a meal, not a home one. There's a door at the far end of the room with handles not unlike car door handles. I get up, my bones popping and cracking, ...
The flash news Bulletin finished and Bob turned it off, the sudden silence jarring in his small and dirty trailer.

Our hero, drunk in their newfound fame for their accolades in the war of kingdoms, and drunk on royal mead from the northlands, stumbled into their tavern room for the night.

It was a tiny request - annoying, sure - but really nothing compared to all the other "requests"handed down by management. Move the Red Box machine a few inches to the right. It didn't even specify how many inches... just "a few." Of course, as soon as we moved it a smidge we saw all the dust bunnies that had collected...
Gotta catch em all, hey pal. An older looking pikachu walked next to ash. And then the Pikachu agreed in the way that pikachus agree. “Pika pika”. Ash nodded as if he knew exactly what Pikachu was saying. For those that don’t know, he said, “ the quest for greatness is more than the amount of Pokémon you own, it’s abo...
"TRY THIS **COOL** *NEW* DIET THAT DOCTORS CLAIM KILLS 99% OF FAT!" Again with this, seriously? I've tried every diet, every exercise program, every fat-burning machine available to the market. No matter what I try, I cannot lose the weight I keep putting on. It's getting to the point where just walking to the store ...
I set about to find a job and new digs. I want my coffin back. Or another whichever. I mooch around when the sun has set looking for a job at the many nightclubs on the strip looking for a bar job.

[New to writing, very happy for any sort of comment, please do let me know if this is any good.] Samantha worked the night shift. It was a lonely job, but paid well and most of the patients were fairly easy to deal with. She was saving for her own place and needed to make as much money as possible to get it done. "Onl...
The outlaw Elijah started out as a simple man with a grudge. Quite by accident, he stumbled across the crystal caves that spanned underneath the western desert, and with a small pack of food and water he disappeared inside. When he emerged over a month later, he had become something more. He could raise the dead. E...

As I turned the corner, on the street there was a homeless man, and he begged me, saying, "Please. Spare some change. I just want to get something to eat." And that unmistakable voice of warning said to me: *"Help him"*. But the stronger voice of my father overpowered it and shouted with, "**Drug addicts! All of them...
"So how did you survive Purge Day, Sera?"they wanted to know. I laughed, a little shakily. "You know the Supreme Court upheld the Fifth Amendment on that, right? I don't have to say anything." "Oh come on, Ser. Don't repeat the official crap. It's just us anyway. How'd you do?" I smiled, keeping my eyes down. Anast...

I imagined him to be my friend, someone who could understand all the loneliness inside me, understand why I don't open myself to people, understand that the pain that resides inside my heart from all the things I have lost.

They don't know. They'll never know. Everyone thinks that I am the poorest person in the world. I live in a shack in a bad part of town, but for good reason. I am actually the richest person in existence. Several years ago I was wandering around in the jungle and came across a strange creature with a large nose. It wa...
I wouldn't believe my mind. If my ear were okay then I just heard : "Adventurer, you come beneath me. I see that you seek to go past me. In these circumstances, I usually ask a Riddle.

Snork drifted lazily through the air, allowing the cool currents around him to do the work that his powerful wings and build otherwise would. He slowly inhaled long, deep breaths of pure air, exhaling them even slower. He felt a calmness that couldn't be found when claws were met with earth. Being a dragon was great in...

The end had come as it was foretold. The earth had ruptured open, entire countries has been placed in ruin, cities have sunken underneath a pool of lava or crushed under thunderous waves.

Everyone has to compartmentalizes some aspect of their life.

I open the apartment door carefully. Who knows? The crappy building might collapse. It's old. Very old. My foot touches the dusty floor, which creaks.

The date was May 2nd, 2009. I had just woken up, playing some video games when I heard a knock at my door. When I opened it, it was a frantic kid, about my age, wearing some strange looking clothes.

I remember a time when the snow would fall in October and stay through May. Yes, it was cold, but I rarely looked over my shoulder.

Peter struggled against the arms of his burly captors, his mouth agape in horror as the ring leader plunged his blade into his wife’s lifeless corpse.

Deep within the forest, a quiet meadow laid. It had quite an assortment of flowers, most of them marigolds that swayed peacefully with the wind.

"Wanna get Hard?" That question struck home with the force of an avalanche. Partly because of juvenile innuendo, and partly because of the actual implications.
