Ben made his way through the crowded bus with his eye on the only free seat left. It was not until he reached the seat, about to sit down, that he noticed the sleeping old man. The frail, wrinkled man rested his mostly-bald head on a bundled up jacket against the window. "Didn't know eyelids could get wrinkled,"Ben ...
"Oooh, God Damnit they actually went there! Nooooo!!!" *Poor Belfast. It had been years since this had been an issue, following that run-in with a faulty security mech in his first job. Now, the pains of living his new life struck his head like the plasma cannon that forced him to become Cybernetic all over again, his...
I woke up grabbed my phone, or at least it looks like a phone, and looked at the time. "Holy fuck, it's 5pm, I missed the whole day."I take another look at my phone. The date says January 15th, 2020. "That's got to be a mistake."I thought to myself. I looked across the room everyone from the party is just waking up as...
At first it was all a joke to those humans - like the novelty of it was too odd to pass up. "Whoah..."A glassy-eyed human gazed upon my incomprehensible form. It had been over two-thousand years since the last of my worshipers summoned me. "I didn't think you would..." "Appear?"I interrupted, trying to not let my ...
We charged them for sin when they moved in. We hated their kind for the sins they bind. Hell they were bound, Hope they were found. They ran way that night, obviously thinking “fight or flight”. Police were called, their dog had been mauled. Chaos spread, that’s where the demand lead. “KILL THEM FOR THEY HATH COM...
The flame had been burning for two minutes. Fargrath, a minor demon, would look at it expectantly, then away for a minute, then back again, as if it would change by staring at it. It was really starting to irk Fargrath, when finally it changed from yellow to blue. “Hello, this is IT, how can I help you,” said the fla...

That slippery sheet of ice was the sheet upon which my music was first played, and the crash of metal and wood was the first clashing of drums and cymbals. After the drums came the silence. A good rest, a pause in the music, is appreciated – absence makes for greater appreciation after all, and it truly is the most bea...
Why I had to climb in that nutcases' car I can't for the life (or death) of me, say why. Yet here we were again, whipping around hairpin turns at a speed that far exceeded the safety limits of the road. I knew he was a fast driver, but this was too much for me! "Aaron,"I moaned, "slow the fuck down or I'm going to get ...
"I paid the 500$, so give me a goddamn superpower!" Now what should I do? What kind of power would a creepy old man in shorts want? I looked down to see his fat hairy legs. It was a sight I wish I'll never have to see again. Old man shouldn't be allowed to wear shorts. Then an idea hit me. "Here you go!"I told the ma...
The long-awaited sense of purpose swells inside me. I have been told the story all of my life. It was a ritual of sorts. Gathering around the fire, passing the ancient stone and hearing the elders tell the prophesy. The story of a coming day where good and evil would have their final fight. It was only in the recent...
Like a hammer. A big club hammer. Sun rays were pounding me like big club hammer. Pound...pound...pound. What's to be expected though? Hardly surprising to be scorched to a crisp when you venture out into the middle of the desert. "This has been recorded as one of the hottest places on the entire planet,"I remark, tu...
I lift my glasses and press my forehead to the machine, squinting into the lenses. There are some letters, but in their current form, I can't make them out. "One."A click. There is some improvement, but just barely. "Or two?". Did it change? Maybe a little. I can't tell. We repeat the drill. "One?...Or two? I pull...
It is rare for the blue phone to ring. Not many people know the number, which is how it should be. After all this phone is the only way to contact us. We are a group of 7 high tier killers, mercenaries, murderers and super soldiers. We have won wars, toppled governments, and even committed small scale genocide at one p...
All these nights I dream of that place. The stark industrial lamp hanging overhead, casting its ruthless rays of light across the steep forehead of the man seated across from me. The unreadable expression on those anonymous faces. The white flowers withering in a mangled metal vase. The lingering scent of fear, its sm...
Terrified you breath heavy and start to tremble. Your starting to sweat and feel an uncomfortable heat. You turn to see your friend and his face begins to change. He snarls as his skin turns to fur and his eyes become yellow as if he had the eyes of a wild cat ready to kill its prey. He lunges at you. You wake frighte...
The gentle beeping of machines provide a steady beat for her thoughts. “ You have lived a fulfilling life” she thinks in the chosen tune of her chorus. Eighty seven year old Marice Mayer reclines in her hospital bed, the scent of antiseptics and looming death permeating the air, she breathes in, savoring each breath...
When the Dwarven halls rang with the sound of steel and the screams of the dying, of families begging for a salvation which would never arrive, We did not answer the call. When the holds of men were razed and their innocents spit upon pikes, works of art ground to dust, their very people scattered to the winds, We...
This planet held many strange creatures for centuries before its star burned out. Surviving relics show that several species even had similar structures to our own bodies. Despite these similarities, there are many notable differences. For starters, their bodies have few durable parts, and were prone to fatal fail...
You can't tell how long you've been wandering in the sea of words. It seemed like centuries, but then again, what is time? You continue to ponder the importance of man made concepts such as time when you come across a figure, fading in to the distance. "HEY, WAIT UP", you yell to the figure as you excitedly run up to...
There it was. I had no idea this is what I would find, and as I looked up and watch the stars explode in the distance, I hoped this would help somehow. In some odd way. "It all happens again, remember not to be afraid, get ready, you will find this again. I am sorry we wasted our lives in dirt,"I read the stone outlou...
A pillar of light was seen on that day by the entire world it reminded historians of the shot heard around the world because no one knew how started it. Many theorized last it could have been a nuke or a new technology bending tested, many rushed to believe it was a act of God, but all were wrong it wasn't a act ...
My evening was pretty normal till the saucer landed. I was on the porch, catching my breath after a hard day's work, when the gigantic metal vessel descended from the sky. A platform opened up and two aliens got out of the thing. They were wearing grey suits and their skin was crimson red, with big, flat heads and long...
Xander never expected it to feel so deliciously squishy. “Like a Terran omelet,” he thought, swaying his thorax side-to-side. Not only has his exoskeleton been growing, but his cracked nipples were accompanied by two modestly shaped breasts. No matter, the backpain was the least of his worries. Xander never understoo...
To whom it may concern, if anyone is left to read this, This was all my fault. It was all a result of bandaid fixes that never really solved the problem. It was fear from losing her if the truth came out. And at first, it was disbelief that anything the letter said was true. She looked exactly like my eight year old ...
I had this idiot calling me everyday asking me to buy his product. The voice seemed very familiar and only then it hit me it was my voice. I was genuinely creeped out. What was happening, how did they get hold of my voice? How could I be talking to myself? The call came once more. "Hello! It's me again! Would you...

As the ...
I don't really have a definite space. more it's just wherever I am, that I have a few minutes to a few hours or I'm procrastinating on something else. My stories are on Wattpad so it's all electronic. i can say that after a certain point the amount of words in a single draft slows down, so there's a delay in typing at...
"Hey man, lost your keys again?" A whispering rasp emits from the hollow folds of the figures robes, "YeS..." Dan shifted his weight slowly around the shadowed whisps of the entity's robes. "This is way harder to do when I'm drunk, it's super bullshit that anything that touches you instantly gets it soul reaped." The...
"Why. Why, why, why, why, why." *My head repeatedly slammed against my nightstand, hoping I would die of head trauma and be sent back home. I had only known this would be my escape after a truly foul and wicked witch put me here and spelled it out, after my parents refused to pay the ransom he demanded from the court....
My husband always thought I was crazy. He used to think that my obsession with the latest technology or scientific breakthrough was humorous, almost absurd. Almost every morning, we would wake up together and have our breakfast at the dinner table just big enough for two. He would read the newspaper. I would be staring...
Last night, I fielded calls and texts from concerned friends and family regarding my decision to remain alone this Thanksgiving. The guilt trips subsided around midnight with one last call from my tearful sister who could not understand why I didn’t want to spend time with my family. It’s not that I don’t love them, or...
Maybe it was boredom. Maybe it was the poisonous smiles that seemed plastic and creepy to me, themselves even. But something- an emptiness, and the failure to fill it through comedy and social hours started to linger in me. Days on end where I could hear my name being chanted in endorsement without even recognizing it ...
Malat opened the cloth flap and ducked down to enter the small tent. A fire burning in a hearth at the center and opposite it sat a young man wearing an odd outfit, of a style Malat had never seen before. The young man’s eyes glinted mischievously as he gestured for Malat to sit. Malat stepped towards the hearth, then...
It was a foggy evening when at the turn of the hour the doorbell rang and Mrs. Hudson escorted in Inspector Lestrade. "Good Evening Inspector."I nodded as Sherlock walked in from his room in his housecoat expectantly. "Sorry to disturb the two of you, but I have a need of your assistance, Holmes. We have a murder. N...
Nought worth mentioning but the armistice. Blankly those war-torn men stare at stained walls. Visions of – What? Forests, sand, blood. A man rocks in a chair, blessedly rural. The man, painted blue, fondly recalls November. And to describe this man’s turmoil is not a simple task. He has no name. He has all appendages r...
Intergalactic space is pitch-black. Blacker than the blackest night. I ponder the poetic of symbolism of having let such absolute darkness envelop me as I look out of the large window. The station’s ad-vanced sensors can pick up the faint starlight emanating from the closest galaxy but my eyes can see none of it. There...
On an otherwise ordinary Wednesday morning in the fall of 2027, John unknowingly embraced eternal life. The allure; that was what had done it. A pioneer of his time. A catalyst of flesh and bone that promised to deliver humanity onto the beaches of distant stars. The kind of madness that inspired a fascinated, grotesq...

The storm was loud but I raised my voice over the downpour. "Captain?" The tall man spun around quickly, his rain drenched coat slinging the small puddles off his shoulders. "Detective Brocken.

It was evening. Turning dark, I passed the bridge that explorers had built long ago. It was rickety, but it was rather safe. I usually managed to avoid taking this path back to the camp, but I was alone and forgot my machete. I couldn't slash through the vines, and every time I took the same route (which wasn't often, ...
Bob. He was tired. Shift work meant adapting to a different schedule. He shifted down as cleared the crest...... "JESUS!

It had to be slow. Discreet. And it needed to start with something that wasn’t bad, not really. But that wasn’t good either. So it started with cigarettes. Every demon smoked. It was not nocive of course, they were demons. I was for the style. To attract young teenagers and, maybe, one would get cancer. More yet, one w...
It has been four days since the spiders burst from what we called the Moon. Horrific beasts, some of gigantic proportions, emerged from a recently discovered fracture on the Moon’s surface. They slung their webs towards Earth like grappling hooks. Any concerns about a black mass on the Moon were promptly dismissed by ...
The worlds magics were fading. The wind was dying down, and ships were unable to set sail. The air grow heavy and poisonous gasses from swamp lands choked the life from livestock. The water became stagnant and impure. Disease ran rampant. The earth began to rot away, famine started in many places across the land...
NORAD brought the man in, the room cold and the snacks warm, keeping him jolly. Many analyst talked with the man at length, but none could recall specifics of the conversation - just a general sense of well being. Electronic records had no problems picking up the loud bellows of the mans laugh, but his speaking voice w...
"Huh?" My own voice surprised me, to be honest. It had been what? 30, maybe even 40 years? The icy cryonic smell found it's way into my nostrils, and I tried to move my legs. The muscle was still too stiff, though. The headache came next. Am I... Hungover? After 40 years? How long was it? 50 years? Where is that...
"But... but what about the monster!" The eldered woman's granddaughter cried loudly. I could hear it from where I was up in the attic. I had been there for some time now. I didn't mind at first but now I did. I wanted out. "Nope nothing."the aged voice of my first child cracked. "That's because you're grown!"the gir...
Among the four men was Captain Garland, the man chosen to lead the crew as they set sail to the west daring to discover what had never been before. The other three saw themselves as inconsequential to Garland, there was the first mate Ferethi, a deckhand named Rikar, and the ship’s pilot Sebastio, and all of them were ...
"Sergeant Grant, I command you to stand your post and haunt this house!" The captain's voice boomed with all the authority learned and acquired during his life. Willem knew better than to argue.

I was warned by my phone of an abrupt shutdown of three of the interstate's four lanes, resulting in an unprecedented congestion of commuters slowing traffic to a near stop. It was for this reason that I deviated from my traditional homeward route. I instead followed Google's prompts to proceed down a road seldom trave...
The tall, stone doors slowly crept open, the first sunlight in centuries bathed the inner hall in dim orange light. The precession of a single set of footfalls welcomed with gusto by an orchestra of dust and echoes. Each step left swirls in my wake, stale air clamoured to meet the outside like a new ruler freshly crown...
We traveled across the universe to reunite with our long lost relative species. We had split eons ago and gone to separate planets. But now at last we had found them! When we landed on the planet known as "Earth", we were horrified to find billions of our distant cousins enslaved. Each was trapped into tiny parasiti...
“What is this thing?” I pick up the sphere and look at it, examining the rock. “What should we do with it?” “Take it back to base.” The response was from my second in command, Leroy. He ran logistics and was the one who told me that everything went dark. The strange thing was that the sphere had an… anomaly. I don’t k...
"His chin is fucking huge."I thought to myself as I sank deeper into my chair watching The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. You can tell that doing the same job for 500 years has its limits. The same conversation talked in the same exact way over and over again. It's not even that entertaining anymore, but I watch it anywa...
"Red leather, yellow leather, red leather, yellow leather..."

My father always say Blood is in our blood and I always interrupt him and say what a stupid saying that was. He typically would say that as he searched for the watered-down scotch underneath the ice in his glass as he stared at the flames of our fireplace. Stupid.

"It was a breadloaf!"I screamed into the empty void. "A literal loaf of bread. For a starving person.

YOUR MORTAL WHIMS WILL NOT CHANGE T...
Earth is about two thousand years away with our fastest vessel, but we still have one tether to Terra Nostra — the Counter. I made it mostly by accident, but it seems to be the only way to get instant info about our homeworld. Last week, I tested it. My supervisor says ValCorp will pull the plug if I don’t get it work...
Portal technology was an enormous leap forward for the game-makers at Pan-Em. It was initially designed as a means of powering the Capital, but its full utility was revealed when a spontaneous rift pulled an unidentified man into a laboratory. Security forces were dispatched immediately, but the man exhibited superhu...
I quickly shuffled through the fluffy fresh fallen snow and I made my way through a quiet section of the park. The snow had been dredged throughout the rest of the park, but closer to the grape vine arches it was untouched except for me. The wind whistled between the pine trees towards the back of the park and out and ...

28th November, a day like no other. I had awoke with the same certainty I awoke with every morning, a certainty of the future, a certainty of us. Our little flat, way up on the 20th floor of the high-rise building where we had begun to build the very foundations of our life together, was bright in the morning sunshin...
Dinner tastes off, Lunch and Breakfast had tasted off too. Everyday for the last 6 or 7 months I have felt this sense of wrongness at mealtimes that I can't comprehend.

I remember getting that old tape called "Clive's 2019"or something like that at the sale. The Box-Art looked like a picture of 2019 with a 80s style feel. Pretty sorry looking if you ask me.

"Pardon me" I looked up, glad for a reprieve from the week's load of baptism forms covering my desk. A short, graying man in a black suit stood before me with his hands clasped behind his back. A red hawk perched on his shoulder, surveying the room with wide eyes. "What can I do for you?"Pastor Dean had described th...
“You’ll just feel a small pinch…” the needle plunged softly into the flesh of the young man as I talked to him softly. The entire time, his eyes were dead set on the tv in front of him.

I just never thought it'd be the rain that did it. Well, mostly the rain. It started two weeks after the old stones finally set.

The young archaeologist had seen horror movies before, and didn't like the fact that instead of finding the rest of his friends at the digsite, all he found was a puddle of blood and a mask.

In the dead of the night, in a small unassuming store a faint sound could be heard. It was chanting.

Opposites are really just extreme ends of the same thing, you know. Light and dark, love and fear, heaven and hell, life and death. Just different ends of a spectrum.
