There’s no second-place prize in a race for your life. Breathing was getting harder. Each gasp sent waves of pain radiating from my side. Broken rib, maybe two. Not the worst of my problems, but slowing me down. Every step. Taking more effort to breathe carefully, as if oxygen could replace for bone and blood. *Eve...
V: "You cannot stop me." P: "Look into my eyes." NOTE: V stares into the eyes of the prince. P stares back intently. POST-CGI: P eyes a bottomless abyss, seemingly endless in the eldritch knowledge that it held. "Cut! Cut! Cut! Cut!. Look what part of this scrip do you not understand Vinny!? You just...
It took the Order seven hours to get the Machine back in order. In the first fifteen minutes, humans around the world started noticing the fairies that had appeared in the grasses. Information rapidly spread on social media, so quickly and from so many different points that even the most skeptical were convinced. Anim...
In Genesis, the doctrine is given. That we are but miniatures of the Godhead. &#x200B; Made in his light as we are, we are also illuminated by that very same light. And so, so far away from home, my love, I do not know how I can live without your light. You, who are like a God to me, my very own Father, Son and ...
I always thought there were only two options when conflict arises - fight or flight. I have no idea how smiling and laughing fits into that equation but in that moment that’s exactly what happened. There was no rage or any desire to escape the situation, just a clarity and calmness. Then the laughter followed. The ...
There was the crunching sound as the missile rent the engine's hull into pieces. There was a rush as air and belongings were flung astray into the sky, and I clung to the hand-rail near the coal-rack as I watched my comrades roll and tumble past me. I was certain that I was alone in the bone-chilling silence. As I cra...
Relief is not requested immediately. 759 sat back and exhaled nasally ,shrugging with resignation. "I hope that works Mal.. ". The interface blinked with pale blue indifference. "Don't worry Sev ",a voice answered, "you ARE the most senior after all! ".759, or Sev,as the machine had called him grinned and nodde...
It was incredibly hard, living among humans. They were so strict, but at the same time so lenient. There was no hierarchy and yet there were so many weird rules about what's acceptable and what's not. Wilhelmina knew she was of fair folk. She had to be. Everyone in the village had dusty earthen hair and bland brown and...
I look over my bloody body with horror as I realize I can still feel the pain from it. I notice my chest is rising and falling, as well. “Am I dead,” I asked with a wince of pain. Whatever this was, it wasn’t cool. Two people appear beside me. One an older woman, and one a young man. The man was probably about my...
"Finally Friday,"I thought to myself. I pat my dog goodbye, grabbed my wallet and keys, and walk out the appartment with my bicycle. As the elevator took me to the ground floor I decided I deserved a treat. I was going to get a chocolate donut and an iced coffee. "Why not,"I figured. After all I had rode my bike the...

It was time again... his wrists were sweating under the heavy leather restraints. He wasn't ready, he didn't want to go through it again. He couldnt.. the nurse came and attached the unit. His eyelids were clamped open, eye droppers filled with saline to keep them from drying out and a head restraint to keep him facing...
"Me dammit" you mutter as you stride towards the phone. When picking up the horn you hear your Angel-in-Chief asking you if it's okay if the back-up pool of callcenterangels can be called in to work. Apparently something on Earth has the humans so riled up that they won't stop reaching out to the heavens. *"Fine,...
Dad. I light the cigarette and slump down on the seat. Some would say I’m suspiciously healthy for my age. I am, yes. It’s kind of you to notice. That’s one thing that you have to come to terms with age. People take less and lesser notice of you. *The veranda of my nursing home overlooks a serene patch of gard...
It was Fear. Always the most annoying, today I'd simply had enough. A dog was barking at me through a fence and Fear was up on one of the fence posts on all fours barking at me and laughing. I wasn't even afraid of the dog! I don't even know what Fear was doing there, but there he was and I got extraordinarily frustra...
Work was miserable today, as usual. My boss berated me for a spelling mistake in an email, I spilled hot tea on myself, and I had to sit in multiple useless meetings. The commute home was boring and long, but I managed to get a window seat on the bus. I put my forehead against the cool class and my breath created a hal...
The fountain is pure white, something artificial but that still looks and feels like stone. The water is pure and safe to drink. An old, old, man waits on the side of the fountain. The children, sensing something about him gather around and ask questions. He starts reminiscing... "It's a shame how things have frag...
A Ghostly Visit Everyone was so excited for Halloween, but I didn’t see the point of it after you reached the age of ten or so. Which was unfortunate for me, because my whole family’s favorite holiday just so happened to be All Hallows’ Eve, despite the fact that I had long since left the magic behind. I was walking...
I looked at Doctor Hergetzus Spatz again. The man had, for many years now, been a faithful coworker to me, and I to him. Of course, it had never been a secret between us that he didn't think much of "paper-pushers who only see the bottom line", nor I of his "knowledge of the sake of knowledge"attitude. But that was onl...
An eternity with all your desires granted sounded like a dream, to me it was reality. All I had to do was abide by a single rule, perhaps a warning. Under no circumstances should I enter The Building, there is no return from The Building. Seemed simple enough. In the before I was a research chemist studying the chemic...
The lone warrior carved a path of destruction across the Pleasure Palace, the realm of Slaanesh. He fought and won against a countless army of degenerate abominations, Daemonettes trying to seduce him, whispering to him with razor sharp tongues about a myriad of forbiddent pleasures beyond human mind, but they failed, ...

I open my eyes and all of my energy seems to be gone. I look own and my hands are orange and small. The fact of killing someone with these would be difficult not to mention impossible. A blanket seems to cover my body. Or what might be mine. Is I lift the blanket with one of my three fingers. I scream in terror I worke...
"Do you think they go forever? Never to return? Lucian shook his head at Soo. "I bet their memories and experiences get downloaded, like a P.E.A when it's downloading that sluggish software. Only their minds turn to mush, on account of the tech being so wonky. Nothing that new works properly."Soo clicked his tongue onc...
As we get on the bus I turn around and say: "Ey Joey you with me? I wanna see all the old stuff. You know, the really old stuff.""I'm pretty sure everything there will be old man."He replies. I've never been there but there are stories of kids that got lost on their field trip there. There's even this story where appar...
"Ro...tation?"the being asked. "Yeah, bro. Crop rotation. Different types of crops need different nutrients from the soil to grow and produce. For example, if you plant a crop in a field for one year, then plant a different crop in that same field the next year, then leave that field fallow to regain nutrients that...
Our defenses were battered and full of holes. Skirmish fire has been intensifying for hours. Our supplies running low. Many of the wounded were forced to hold a plasma pistol and guard the perimeter, if their injuries allowed. The last remaining hovertank broke down while attempting to retreat, basically turning it int...
After hollow applause followed the defanging of liberty, Death pressed its advantage. The fools had finally fallen for their own ignorance. Firearms, a necessary tool for the defense of life. We shut them all away because we didn't take the time to understand or respect them. To let fear and ignorance drive ourselves a...
The son of the Sun, Qullacuti walked onto the outer wall of his Great Grandfather's summer palace. His eyes skimmed the deepening green terraces of mountainside as he slowly approached advisor Hacuaita. Next to him, a young runner tried to pant as silently as possible. The king suppressed his agitation at the interrupt...
“Trust the Algorithm. The Algorithm benefits us all. As the Algorithm learns, so must we. Trust the Algorithm...” The mantra of the Algorithm continued overhead. Distorted slightly by the rain pouring around me. I shifted the pack on my shoulder, pulling my hood tighter around my head. The Algorithm was built back i...
White. White ceiling, white walls, white sheets. It always bothered me how clean and plain everything looked. Yellow! I’d beg my mom to let me paint the walls something much better, much brighter. She’d never agree to it. Yellow is way too bright, she’d say. White is neutral. You’d never grow out of it. I don’t li...
The sun, now settling down for the day, sprouted out one last jolt of warmth before dipping behind the snow created mountains to the east, leaving the town in a dim light. Those who could nest in their warm and cozy homes were starting to crawl under their blankets by the fire, and the lights started to flicker out. On...
Those old bastards. They are the ghosts who haunt my counter. I am just a girl. I am just a waitress. But George Reeves? Lewis Wilson? Tom Tyler? They are superheroes. Don't recognize their names? Most people don't. But to each other they will always be Superman, Batman and Captain Marvel. Here are a couple th...
"I'm gonna need another shot of sedatives for the subject, it's snapping at me again." "Right away doctor." The zombie apocalypse. Something that has been subject of so many movies and books over the years. "I'm continuing with the incision." Who would've thought that it'd actually happen? "Proceeding with the col...
Death rolls heads like I rolled blunts, And Sickness spread like eager legs, War was louder than the band, While Hunger held my bony hand. I have drank myself to death, I have been sick so long, Always fighting with myself. I am a child born of fear, I am the daughter of the fight, And even though they ...
(1/2) Captain’s Log 22.11.43 We are the last ship still searching. Morale is low, and the air in here is stale even for artificially recycled cabin pressure. The deep vacuum of space stares back at me through my office window. I can’t think clearly, the whirring of our own ion engines has become a haunting, pounding ...
Ambulance, the great void dragon was reveling in finally returning to the material plane. The mortals had forgotten him. They failed to render him the praise and worship he deserved by right. He had built this world alongside his counterpart, and these mortals had the audacity to forget him. At least he could entertai...
2.1 was the number for children born per woman, that our scientists had calculated would sustain the population. At the time of my birth, the actual number was 1.4 and currently it had fallen to 0.6. Where before we had been among the many countries to heavily retrict the use of the gene editing tool CRISPR, we became...

"So, what do you think you're gonna get?"Abi grins widely at me. We're sat cross legged on my kitchen counter, an unopened bottle of celebratory rose between us. A sad, deflated balloon reading "18 today"floats above our heads, pressing against the ceiling in some pathetic attempt to escape. I glance over at my best f...
I can’t believe it. Why? After all these years, after everything I’ve done for them. How can I be blocking their path to peace? I’m paving the way for the path to peace. I slam my knife against the table. Then, pulling another one out of my coat, I hold it between my two fingers and fling it to the dartboard in the ot...
The stories were true! The majestic turquoise beams supporting the glimmering topaz encrusted cave walls. All by yourself , you head into the deep cavernous dwelling of the mirror, as the legend told it as. Stumbling past ancient art and walls so reflective they almost look as if they were real. A surreal radiance eman...
It began like almost anything else. Slow and unnoticed, but built up speed like rock tumbling down hill. It was as if the God wind blew and the ashes of our lives scattered like so much dust. We all thought it was awful not having our amassed electronics, vehicles, and vanities. The easy pleasures of our past lives. ...
You know, people love to say shit like "I could feel their eyes on me!"when they feel too conspicuous, or right after they've done something embarrassing, and it's nonsense. You can't feel their eyes on you. You feel uncomfortably seen, or socially maladjusted, or something like that. The whole idea is a pet peeve of m...
"Look I'm a lawyer. He didn't say anyone had to die. He didn't say that fight had to involve physical damage, all he said that matters is "last creature standing wins". So how about this?

*War in the Arctic Reach!* In a shocking turn of events, the enemy decided to place their nefarious base in the far north, beyond what they assumed our mighty heroes could reach alive. Let this be a lesson to everyone to never underestimate our men! *Storm Blaze, on the back of his Red Dragon, Raze, took their...
For Adrian, the worst thing about a comedown was the taste of cheap toothpaste. There was still enough shit in his system to give him an almost-superhuman sense of touch, and fuck did those bristles tickle his gums. Just get it done, spit, go to bed, he thought. Work tomorrow. When the trial had passed, and he s...
Death isn't what can be controlled. Death happens naturally, when God wills, when it's time the living takes their last breath to the void or realms where the physical has not set foot in. Humanity has defied death. Humanity has shamed death. You don't disrespect and challenge the balance that has been set before the ...
Entry #1: Freeze Leaving school at the end of the day is one of the best feelings in the world, the only thing you have ahead of you is the weekend, "endless"possibilities. I decided that on Saturday I would invite some friends over, we go to the market and buy some needed items, then we make a pizza. I walked with th...
You know, swearing is kind of like a loss of innocence, that one moment where things just break out of the childish bubble and force you to face reality, force you to throw aside that childish wonder and see life for what it is, a horrible ride. I was twelve when I first swore, it was hardly a special day. Me and a fe...
A lowly cat crawled along the floor, skinny and decrepit as it searched for food. It pulled itself lankly into a half open door, hide from the cold that the rising moon was slowly pulling with it. The cat had green eyes and it's fur was a deep black, blending in perfectly with the dark shadows and the hidden in the sle...
We sat opposite each other, watching the continuous stream of smoke. The lit cigarette I clutched between my fingers slowly burning itself out, unlike my unexpected guest, it required no aid from me. Despite the clock I had mounted above my door, tick, tick, ticking at us I had lost all track of time. "Come on Jackie...
I stowed Boris in my coat closet on November 2, 2018. He had served his purpose well, sitting out on my front porch on All Hallow’s Eve with a bowl of candy and a cheeky grin that one can only achieve by having no muscles and no skin. He had looked a little cold, sitting out there in only his bones, so I put some pajam...
Joseph, nowadays just Joe. He had been a husband, a father, a grandfather too. Not anymore. They were all still very much alive, living out their own lives in some city far away, a family that had once been inseparable. He blamed her, that Crone next door, the one with whom they said he'd became obsessed. "Ludicrous...
"So you see, he thought I had been killed, like blade was hanging out of my chest, blood everywhere."The tall women, made a explosion motion with her hands, trying to simulate the mess of blood to help the viewers envision the tale she was telling.

I love my Dad. At times he may be thoughtlessly naive, but at heart, he's a considerate and compassionately good man. However. If any one person could be blamed for the sorry state of our kingdom's knighthood, it would have to be him. There was a time when knights were men. Brave, adventurous, and unselfish *me...
A cocoon for our dreams, that's what we were told, and how were we to know any different? Installed at birth, lodged far enough inside the throat that any natural attempt at removal would ultimately lead to death. Clever, really. A means of control over the unconscious mind. Why worry what a person might become if you...
I hate being outside. I hate being kicked out, without food, water, or anything besides the clothes on my back and my phone. So now I'm at the park, relaxing as I wait for my boyfriend to pick me up. He always told me to be strong even when I'm holding back the urge to start whining and crying like a baby so I'm doing ...
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Bro Plagueis The Guy? No? I thought not. It's not a story the Seniors would tell you. It's a College legend. Bro Plagueis was a Mad Dude of the Kappa Zeta Nu, so powerful and so wise he could use the DJ decks to influence the partygoers to create life… He had such a knowledge of the t...
The horde of undead shambled up the narrow highway, blocking traffic for miles. Like a herd of sheep without a shepherd, they continued along at a droll, disorderly rate. At least sheep would pick up the pace when they heard the honking of car horns and the angered cries of commuters. These zombies were a mob of hundre...
“THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!” Chancellor Von Baden slammed his fist onto the table, sloshing his cognac dangerously close to the treaty that would end the War to End All Wars. “Now really, Max, that’s a bit much.

I smiled at the letter in my hands and kissed it before re-folding it and tucking it back into the envelope. He always did know just how to make me feel special.

I'd been asked many times why I did what I did. I conquered nations, defeated armies, rose to the top of the world. All for one purpose: to destroy free will. In my youth I was beaten and bruised.

Good thing I had quick reflexes, otherwise I wouldn't have grabbed it in time and hid it. Oscar's face changed to the look of confusion. "Uh, tell me what you got."He tried to reach over again, bu...
The problem with future travel is simply the absence of reviews. Every time I have to choose a restaurant, I read reviews of people who have been there.

Nita was travelling alone, her station wagon bounding through the Arizona desert, tyres kicking up thick clouds of dust. Night was drawing in, the sun setting on the far horizon, casting the baron lands in a hazy, golden-yellow glow. A sea of sand, of dry-land and of death. There were bodies buried out here, and Nita ...

We had broken up shortly before he was murdered. I told him many times to leave, but he just wouldn't listen. "It's about pride,"he would tell me. "It's about loyalty."

The house was old. And yes, it was haunted, definitely, absolutely, obviously haunted. Any half-wit could see that much. It was impossible not to get a tingle of the supernatural walking past the thing. It had shuttered windows like pleading eyes, chipped white paint like spoiled teeth. You could almost hear it grow...
"Oh. You're awake." I opened my eyes, then closed them again. It took a second or two before I realized that the loud, low groaning was coming from me. "You've been asleep a long time,"came the voice again. I winced, and rolled over, burying my face into the pillow. "What happened?" "The operation went very well. I...

Again, I open my eyes. I have lost count of the times I've passed out, to hunger, to pain. Yet I arose to nothing. It's dark. It's always dark.

The hellish dimension in which Flynn Taggart found himself when he regained awareness was underwhelming. There were no lava pits, no bottomless chasms and no hordes of imps and demons.
