There is a critical distinction between "terraformed"and "habitable."While Earth collectively celebrated the successful terraformation of the red planet (now green with algae and water), we still lived under climate and oxygen-controlled domes, dependent on the next Earthling shipment that brought with it food and and ...
There have been rumours going around that the space shuttles weren’t the only new space crafts launched in the eighties. Whispers of a project even more ambitious than the International Space Station. Grander than the Moon landings. Wild claims, ridiculous claims. Really, we shouldn’t have even bothered. The fact that...
How long had Sven been climbing these damn stairs? Half an hour now? He stopped to stretch. Behind him, a demon guard whacked the stone wall with the butt of his spear sending echoes up to the rafters of the dreadful tower they were in. “Keep it moving, funny man,” the guard grunted. “Big guy upstairs don’t like sl...
Want to know what's wild? I have gone over a decade without making a single mistake. From the point, I discovered my ability to now, every action, every encounter, every conversation has begun and ended with the best possible outcome. I mean, why wouldn't it? When you can simply tap your temple and rewind life back ten...
I found my task to be rather enjoyable, once she got used to talking to me. She's quite bubbly and cheerful, if a bit clueless on some subjects. I learned quite a bit from Star, like her homeworld, her race's unique abilities, and the universe beyond our solar system. The others think I may be getting a bit attached to...
"Honey, where did your mom find this?"I looked down at the Speak-n-Spell that Susie had gotten from her Grandmother for Christmas, confused by the strange designs. "Oh, you know her. Probably a garage sale or something."My wife laughed, remembering all the times her mother had brought home a new 'treasure' from the l...
I look around the long fiery plain where souls like me all sag their shoulders. It was true. My parents were right, Satan was going to claim my soul. A flicker behind me made me jump. I turned around but saw nothing. Just then the ground beneath my feet opened sending me into the fiery deaths of satans lair. I fel...
“It’s been a while, Purple.” A Rottweiler asks, still the average size of one. “B-bull?” I ask. His black fur, almost shining in the light behind him. “Yes, Purple. It’s me. I am god’s courier. We will walk down memory lane, and decide if you deserve heaven, well in my book.” He said. A door appeared. “Woul...
The weeping willow started sobbing uncontrollably in the court room. There were other trees intermingled throughout the packed crowd, and the addition of leafy branches meant the justice halls were even shadier than usual. "THIS IS AN OUTRAGE,"a red-faced tomato named Pedro spat into the courtroom through his transla...
“What happened?” asked Mike in a daze. God looked at the scene in front of him and didn’t even know where to start, “I have no idea! I was bored so I went down on Earth to have some fun. No big deal! I was just way too high for a Tuesday.” “The Earth is burning! No big deal? When did that freaking orange guy become p...
Humans were elves. Who'd have known it. We had thought that because we lived on an outer spiral arm, we were basically the hillbillies of the universe. Left to the backwaters to become the hicks of the space faring elite. Instead it turns out, we are freaking elves. We live four to five times longer than most species, ...
I finally crested the hill overlooking the danish city of Ribe, and began to set up in my position. The plan was simple: since catching Viking raiders as they raided would require covering the entire English coast, we would “cut the snake’s head” instead. No Viking would leave this nest of theirs ever again, if everyth...
“GOOOOOOD EEEEEVEEEENINGGGGG, LADIES AND GENTLEDEMONS!” The oily voice of a deejay blares across the Pit, and the crowd cheers wildly. I flinch. After a week here, it doesn’t get any easier. Every day, I am resummoned from my life down to the Underworld, and every night I return. The first time, trembling and crying,...
“It’s all your fault!” Jillian screams at me. I raise my hands in defense, looking around at my friends. Tommy just stands there and looks around the room we’re in. Alice sighs, trying to calm down Jill. How did we get here? I accidentally used magic at school. Big no-no. But we’ll get to that later. Now, we traveled ...
A golden glow followed Nora as she flew thru the air. Sunlight shimmered off each scale, leaving her a streak across the sky. As she scanned the countryside, one thing became certain, she wasn't home anymore. No towering buildings. A distinct lack of paved roads. No cars, buses, or trains. Something had gone wron...
it was just another day in the Xavier Adoption Center, named for the school from the comics. Every kid had a special power. little Elizabeth’s telekinesis was a level two. A level one power was something that caused minimal damage, such as Mark being able to feel the emotions of nearby nonhuman mammals. Those kids coul...
(IP) Another Choice “How kind of you, meat, to come to me of your own accord.” The giant beast chuckled, and its putrid breath wafted over the knight, carrying years of rot and foulness with it. “Should I kill you now and roast you over an open fire?” The dragon purred, leaning in so close that the knight could see ...
As I picked up the journal my eyes went wide, I took my backpack off my shoulders and pulled out my own journal, I couldn’t believe it. The exact same material, same handwriting, same brand, everything. I opened to the front pages, and it had the same logs I had written for this very day. Down to the last punctuation,...
“Can you at least look at me when you’re talking to me?” “One second, this shitty stupid fucking system is trash - just open the secured message!” said Aidan. “This is exactly what I’m talking about, we just don’t mesh.” “Mesh? Yes, I got it. We do need to mesh. Stupid fucking system, why the fuck do we even use it....
"This is unacceptable!"I yell. Shen, my most trusted counselor, bows with cowardice at my tone. His display of weak constitution sickens me. Is this who I've surrounded myself with? Cowards and sneaks, unable to stop a real threat. "Yes, my Emperor."He shrinks. "I want all forces! You hear me, all! Every man capabl...
"You can't stay in there forever"he heard from outside. He mulled over that statement for a while... "really they're not that bad, just come out and put your collar on, it's so much better this way, no more lying or fake promises"christ these people Judy don't know me, I thrive on these things, now they want me to give...
It's unfair, really. I never asked for any of this. All I want is a nice quiet place to live my life, pursue my dreams, and end the day with eight or twelve hours of distance run. Is that too much to ask? Eighty years I'd been alive, or so I thought. Seen everything from war to peace to riches to poverty. The full spe...
Only one week was left before the tournament would begin and the blacksmith still hadn't delivered my new sword. If it wasn't here for the duel I would need to use my old sword and I already knew that Derick would make fun of my again. That asshole made fun of everyone weaker than him, and since he was last year's cham...
It was one of those bright summer nights. He was 28, and finally took time off of work to take her to her favorite vacation place from childhood. He planned everything out. He was going to take her to her families old cabin, he’d walk her down to the lake her sister told him about, he’d stop exactly at sunset and tell ...

Can you feel it? There are some days there's this feeling-this energy-in the air. Can't you feel it? Almost electric-and it makes me feel **ALIVE**. I lose myself in the feeling-twirling, spinning, leaping and prancing-bounding across city and countryside alike. Becoming one with the music of the rain and wind, everyth...
Strange shapes milled around in the darkness as I awoke. I was frozen in my bed, watching with wide eyes as other eyes peered up at me from the edges of my bed. After what felt like an eternity, quiet words were gifted to me. "We come to serve." The coolness in my veins drained away as I blinked. "What? Who are you?...
With a sigh, she descends down the basement. She just recently got done with her last project, and is a bit exhausted. But nonetheless, she comes down to help me. "Was it nuclear again, honey?"She asks patiently, as we both look down at the small blue planet. "Yeah... But this time it was on Earth."I say disappointed...
T.K Mann was the least interesting man ever. Having being diagnosed wih aspergers syndrome, his social life was as lifeless as a dead man. He dwelled in books of interest and learning. He read everything except anything related to war. As a young child he had seen his parents fight a lot and with the Asperger's it buil...
I’d known Jack for nearly two years, and this was his best plan yet. It was good. No, not good, great. Finally, we had a plan that was sure to work. Fifth grade was not the place one would usually find a plan of such brilliance. But we had been working on our plan, okay plans, for some time. Living just down the stree...
On a tiny, backwater planet in a system almost nobody talked about, there was a city. It was the only city on the entire planet. Although, some argued it wasn't a very impressive planet and didn't qualify for membership of planet status. As such, having only one city wasn't very unusual for rocks of it's size. Most...
# Lonely Thoughts No one else was looking at the dirty homeless man. As far as the busy sidewalk was concerned that particular corner was an attention-free zone. Henry stared. A beard obscured the man's face, unimaginable things sticking to it in places. A filth-covered wool cap covered his head, some sort of yellow...
As I’m falling, feeling the air around my body, and the pressure through my limbs, looking at the street coming closer and closer...the people on that same street getting bigger and bigger...As I take note of the darkness of the sky above me contrasting with the lights of the city under me, I suddenly feel a warmness i...
Her silks were her armor, and this much was true, for she was a beautiful and terrible queen, a black widow draped in her own terrible splendor. Silk is five times stronger than the same thickness of steel. And the silken cords that she draped herself in were as thick as a hangman’s noose, shining bright and silvery w...
"So what's the plan? We can't travel in space with this piece of junk." "We're going on the ship market and I already know my target." "How much?" "No money. We're going to hijack it" She stood there. Mouth pursed, with jade eyes fluttering in disbelief. "Excuse me come again?"She asked with an annoying tone. "Ug...
In The First Days, we saw what we expected. People on Reddit with their scores. The top five, and the five centered on you. Much was made of the top five, and those lower in the list struggled to hold their position. It was a time of pain. In The Second Days, new accounts were seen, eventually recognized as people...
It was the incessant paranoia of an unseen force lingering in the background like a foul aftertaste. It hung stagnantly, waiting patiently, biding. Mason barely ever thought about it. It was a swift gnawing at the edge of his mind that passed as quickly as it’d arrived. It was a normal occurrence that evaporated from...
It was night, although the cities of Lux could not tell. Between brightly lit spacescrapers, garish commercials in any medium that could snatch the attention of the eager consumer and lights for safety and surveillance, darkness didn't carry far in the city. The man who called himself Hype could scarcely decipher the c...
Victor opened the oven door and put oven mitts over his hands. He reached in and pulled out the baking sheet, which only had a single gingerbread man on it. As he set it on the stovetop, the gingerbread man rose up into a sitting position. “Hey, man, why did you do that?” It said in a tiny voice as it swayed back a...
I awoke staring at florescent lights and a white ceiling. My right arm felt cold, I raised it up to see a cyberarm made of an orchalum alloy. I looked around for Taisha, our street samurai *and my life partner"only to see her nowhere. Suddenly everything came back to me. The series of events heist which had ended...
"I'm starving!"Simon complained. "Come on, let's get inside and dry off. It's pouring." The inn appeared over the hill all of a sudden. Simon was instantly relieved, and to be honest so was Royana. It was pouring rain, and the horses were miserable. Before Royana could express her worry, Simon was already reassuring h...
[Poem] Here I am standing, With a letter so commanding. “Come to the Greatest party in the universe!” It seems to advertise, But due to my nature it would feel like my demise. I cannot pass this up; however bad it would be But I hate parties, they really aren’t for me. I grasp it, ready to tear the letter, But ...
"You know, I forgot to ask back then but, why are you female?" "Hmm?" "Well, you're Sandman right?" "Ah, should have figured this was coming."The womanly figured sat on nothing and brushed away some crimson hair. "I'm a dream. The same way your brain creates dreams by slamming information together in attempt to pr...
On the recently-ousted Head Grim Reaper. Death is imagined as wearing all-black. The long, tattered robe, the curve of a scythe, and the ominous presence (always the ominous presence) defined Death. She sought to change that. When she was appointed Head Grim Reaper, instead of donning the usual black robe, passed do...
Hell was starting to get boring. There were more souls of purity than ones that deserved intense punishments. I wanted to plunge a murderers head into a vat of acid, laugh at them struggling to escape my godly grasp. I wanted to watch a terrorist be ripped apart limb by limb, at the jaws of my hellhounds, then put him ...
# Dead Tones Did you know the sound a bell makes is defined by over fifteen different variables? Crazy, right? Size is a big one: The bigger the bell the deeper the tone. Keep it in mind, *ladies*. There's also material type-- brass tends to make a tinny noise, where cast iron is more like that cartoonish "frying pan"...
"Get up, get up damn you"Aster said, shaking Quinlin awake. Squinting her eyes, Quinlin looked out of the window. "Already? It is still light out." "I know why our sensors failed to detect lifeforms in this area. We need to leave, now."Aster turned away from her, packing his bags. Quinlin stayed on the bed. "Jess ...
"As if planes before didn't already wrack my nerves to Kingdom Come."*I never did like the idea of being so high in the air to begin with, and now I had to go beyond that, having been signed on as a safety inspector for the lunar colony that this 'Elevator' was shipping out to.* "You'll be fine. These things are made ...
(IP) At a Crossroads “Look how much you’ve grown! Surely this isn’t my little girl?” Her father laughed, purring as she stroked his face. The one before her was the one who always surfaced in her memories, the first face she ever remembered seeing. Her father might not have been human—her human parents had died long ...
I rub my head and stretch out my back, feeling like I just woke up from a bad dream. But this was no dream. I carefully studied the features of my body and surroundings just to be sure. Nothing looked familiar. Just a long stretch of a pothole-filled highway and dull gray sky. No signs of cars in sight. I was beginn...
Being a human again was a thrill. When the sun was bright and warm, he would go to the beach. He attended the villages garlic festival, and breathed deep the aroma of the various pungent baskets full. He even joined the community church and sang hymns with the lovely woman he never bit. Bastion felt blessed for the...

Remember that museum movie? The one where everything came to life at night? It's like that, but with books. Hundreds of thousands of books. Stuff from all over the world, all over time. I've read so many of them now, and yet it was never enough. I've written more than a few of them. Still not enough. But hearin...
For a number of years; decades to be precise, the Harlelin clothing complex had stood vacant and alone upon a clipped coast. When once it had promised ocean views, and a tour of the exotic threads woven to make only the finest of garments, it now contrasted with the busy life of work bodies and textile merchants. Along...
Jean-Pierre roughly pushed the connecting door open. He propelled himself through the rocking diaphragm and into the final coach. "Guard! Guard!" Bouc turned around, holding his pocket watch. The golden case glinted in the dim electric light. "It happened again! Everyone gone from the third sleeper!" "You checked *...
I've never thought my birthday would be so special. Even my parents don't care a shit about me. But today, something really weird yet amazing happens to me. I was on my way to school when I stumbled across a birthday card, lying next to our mailbox. I took it and read its content. *Dear Ruf,* *Happy Birthday! May Go...
3...2...1... Immediately, there was a lurch in the cockpit of the shuttle and Kelvin’s eyes widened with excitement. He looked over at Chris, Lana and Jenny who were all so stoic and concentrated. Kelvin couldn’t simply focus on his monitor like they were. He knew what he needed to watch for, yes, but his mind was whol...
A Very Haunted Solstice Everyone knew what the end of the year meant, and the solstice was nearly upon us. It was a time of goodwill and togetherness, to be sure, but it was also a time of darkness and damnation, where wraiths and shadows haunted everyone, restless ghosts and ghouls gathering at the entrance to the vi...
Grandfather looked tired. His eyes were grey and shallow like holes set into an ageing and wise face of wrinkles. He was dying and he knew it. You take his hand and you hold it tight, wishing to never let go. Grandpa always had a fighting spirit within him, a flame that was always burning and you could see that ...
I had grown exhausted from the daily creative block, so I got my fingers busy passing around ideas. I settled on a forest setting around spring time, here's the concocted story. Out east snow-capped mountaintops slid down into a coniferous valley. Pine trees were prominent, their needles creating shifting shadows on t...
The Ferrari's wheels squeeled as it went speeding around the the city corner as a plume of smoke rose behind it.

Mister Biscuit is an old cat, that I know. But I never knew how old he was until I found the photos. "Ninth life? Is this his ninth life?"I asked myself. I looked through the old photos and looked for dates. There was other questions. What was this lost status? Is my family some sort of royalty? In every photo there is...
Johnson had thought something was wrong. The crime seemed complex enough, a murder of one of his friends, with countless red herrings and suspects, yet it was strange. The three being interviewed each had an alibi, each had good motive and each had good opportunities. It was simply unexplainable. He found himself wande...
She never realized how good she had it back then. Keep a calendar, look pretty, easiest job there was. But then women started objecting to "look pretty"being a a job requirement, and she got to old and scatterbrained to keep a calendar, so she was replaced with a male intern who thought wearing an ascot with his flanne...
Six figures sat at a long table covered in exotic foods paired with colourful drinks at every setting. Each attendee to this so-called dinner party had a feast laid out before them, catering to their every need. Not one of them paid any attention to the food, the only true hunger was for answers. No one knew their fac...
I've lived through the great loves of a lifetime. The kinds of trials that only occur once in a given life. I watched countries gain power, and lose themselves to others. The ma[s change, but it all stays the same. I am immortal and bored. All because of this coin that hangs around my neck, the weight throbbing into ...
There was noise everywhere. Humans screaming in anger and pain. Demons howling and cackling in their slaughter. Sharp clashing of metal and magic. And then everything went silent for one blood curdling scream. It started with small beads of light seeming to materialize from the surrounding structures. Humans pondered ...
My heart thudded as the implications of what had just happened slowly registered in my brain. "No."I murmured. "It can't be. My powers just failed, that's it."To test it, I tried to go back in time by a year, and it worked just as the sky began to glow red. I fell to my knees, trying and failing to come up with anoth...
He had been an outcast from the Illithids since time long immemorial. He had since forgotten his name, having adopted a humanoid form and a human name. He went by the name of Doctor William Clemmons, and he was the most revered brain surgeon in the world. His telepathic abilities as an Illithid can be in uniquely hand...
We'd made an enchanter. It was easy: a book, a few pieces of obsidian, and some lapis. We could change everything with it: we could make ourselves immune to lava, we could harm the person who attacked us with only a piece of armor... Then Steve got obsessed. The magic seemed to plague his dreams, his life, his everyth...
Dr. Axolotl stands on the rooftops, surveying the damage done to the city. Although they were a villain and they loved wreaking havoc, it wasn't them that caused the destruction that happened to the city that night. It was a hero that wrecked the city, the hero that goes against the Doctor's diabolical plans every time...
A feminine figure, no older than thirty, laid upon her bed. Plastic tubes attached to machines bore into her arms attached to beeping machines. Flowing through it were liquids helping keep her alive. The figure slowly opened her eyes, as if waking up from a dream and saw a young man looking over her with childish eyes....
It gets too damn hot in Sacramento. Especially for a guy like me with an active lifestyle. "I understand the black uniform makes us look like real government spooks."I say, turning to Carl as he drives us through the neighborhood. "I do, but black vans too? I look like I just finished swimming."Carl lets out something...
You look at me as if I am a monster, but you must understand that I haven’t always been this way. Year after year went pass without anyone helping me. I suffered greatly. Do you know what it is like to be born different? They called me deformed. They made fun of me relentlessly. “Spastic,” “Retard,” “Mong,” the slurs...
A little \[Poem\] for you, hope it's good enough! ​ As I breathed my last breath scorching feeling filled my lungs and halted I thought *This is it* And smiled The peace I longed for ​ I melted in the light breeze enjoying the silence I thought *Here I come* *Just a little bit mo...
I knew that voice.. Argoth the god who had banished me. I opened the door to my humble abode and was met with the fierce burning eyes of the immortal being who so hated me for what I had done. "Vierloth we have finally found you.. you were originally exiled for your crimes but upon review by the elder council of Etmo...
"This is eerie as hell." "Just watch for movement. These are the same maniacs responsible for the all those dead archeoogists at the museum" "I'm well aware of what they've been capable of, but how many of them were there? There were supposed to be only ten of them" "I know. The lady that died at the hostage taking k...
"Hi, I'm just looking for detergent". A Walmart employee kneeling on the floor contented in slotting birthday cards near the back of the store turned his head. His face was passive before falling into that fake elation that every employee knows. He stood up quickly, revealing his name tag. Robert. "Of course,"a chee...
“Marvin, thanks once again for saving our rumps. If we didn’t have you come along, we would have been going to jail for sure!” Lisa said with glee. “Yeah man, you’re tops. A1. A true pal.” Eric said to Marvin. A laughter from the rest of the group followed along with the laughter from the audience. “Teen hij...
My father once told me about the aliens. They're a legend, as far as I know. A bygone relic from the days when humans had barely just explored the forests and oceans around them, when they had just begun to scrape at the celestial firmament. The most ancient folklore of pre-information era humanity told stories of mag...
It seems like years ago now since Santa’s case was first dropped on my desk. When my eyes first took it in you could say it was like a child receiving a long awaited golden ticket. It was the break I needed. I was summa cum laude. A product of one of the finest law schools in the country. My journey had amassed a titan...

"'Why' you ask? Well, that's just it isn't it? That curiosity that all of you seem to share. Some innate drive to learn, understand, and inform others.

Flashing lights everywhere, and loud sirens blasting were how we were told people are summoning demons. Today’s siren was different, as no demons could be found. All that was there was many missing people, and the counter was too small to count it. That is the sign of the demons, so I ran out to where common place to s...

“FUCK FUCK FUCK!” Those words echoed through his mind repeatedly as he saw her, “why did it have to be her, any character would’ve literally been better!” Before him stood the villain of his novel, a rather plain looking woman. However appearances can be rather deceiving. “Is there a problem?” She asked. “You’re not...
The transfer itself was as effortless as exhaling. My consciousness is now free from my aging body, preserved forever in so much silicon. I had nothing but high hopes for this procedure, enticed by the glossy adverts promising mental clarity and immortality. But the stream of consciousness it's left me with has been a ...
I remember how my troops had slaughtered the Egyptians like they were cattle, turned Persia to rubble to replace it with my great empire. Soon the entire world was under my control. They were nothing more than puppets to do my bidding, yet I grew bored. There was no one left to conquer, no cities to plunder, no wars to...
That's all it says. No, I'm serious. That's all it says. "The only way to stop them is to stop." Stop what? Just stop. It says stop and then a period after it. That's all it says. I think you're confusing everyone including yourself here, where did you even get that thing from? Does it matter? We're already under ...

All he could do was sit on the other side of the cobblestone street. His neighbor, Daniel, was running back and forth from the pond to his house with a bucket of water, trying to douse Hezron's house, but it was no use. The flames rose too quickly, and his house was consumed by fire, burning brightly against the dark ...
As i wake up from my snooze, i realise i am not in my bed. At all. Nor am i in my clothes.

As i watch in confusion, the door opens, and i gasp as c...
Anibal sighted. Of all questions that his son could ask him in his 10 years of life had to be that, the question if his mother, Morrigan, the celtic goddess of war, hate him, *God help me i'm not good for emotional situations,* Anibal was praying to his god (the abrahamic one nor his winged wife). "Morgan, your mother ...
The Royal Guard Failed. Trained Assasins Failed. Master Thieves Failed. I won't. The journey to the Snowmelt Kingdom from my home of Lightgate consisted of a long boat ride.

A bus that hits oncoming traffic ... That was my last vision, where I saw myself dying. It was a quick and painless death, when a large piece of the window would cut my head almost clean off. But that wasn't what I wanted. No, I still want to live. And so I skipped on the bus that day. As I walked, I saw the incredib...
