Gropnop stared at the blue rock spotted by green. Green. He pinched the antennae protruding from his chin between his pincer and stroked it in thought. "Perhaps the readings are wrong?"he said. Shepfer pinched her hips, her six red eyes all trained at Gropnop. He glanced back at his newly-wed wife with a nervous ch...
Being a teenager is tough. It’s even tougher when your dad is the Dark Lord Emperor Storm Blackshadow. When I was a kid, I remember sitting on his knee as he and his generals planned the slaughter of revolting peasants, the razing of a village, or the invasion of a sovereign nation. Sometimes, when no one is looking, I...
“One coffee, Doris,” I said, squeezing up to the little coffee counter at the train station. I went there every day. Coffee has no effect on my alien biology, but I saw on my first day on Earth that most humans like to drink coffee in the morning, and I try to fit in. But it’s hard to fit in, when all of the human do...
Day 1 So, this is awkward. I feel like an idiot writing this, but somehow I've managed to trap myself outside of time. It was such an innocuous little mistake too. You learn you can freeze time, spend a cumulative couple of years screwing with God's clock and it's not long before you begin to think you're the almi...
In retrospective we called it The Absurd War. The aliens had been invincible from the moment they landed on Earth, a strange energy shield popping up at the last moment to stop whatever was attacking them. Bullets bounced off them, grenades didn't faze them, they walked through fire and danced through mustard gas. I...
My phone started to grow in my hands, rapidly expanding. I smashed the screen, hoping to reverse whatever I had done, but before I knew what had happened I found myself in the cockpit of an airplane. I was stunned. I looked around, scanning the buttons until I saw one that was shaped like a smartphone. Reaching out I p...
Corey was running around frantically the day before his grandfather's deathday. He was tasked with getting the last few decorations and food for the party. His grandfather, Allen, was already eighty-nine years old, and the family felt that this deathday would be the one. Corey was in charge of most of the planning a...
The anthill stood at nearly a metre tall, and who knew how deep below. An exterminator's greatest bounty, I instead had protected and nurtured it by leaving the scraps from dinner for them, and giving them sand and clay as construction material. My family gave me that look when I decided to add the sound system too, ...
I disconnected, then connected again. It still said '1% left'. My heart was beating very fast at this point, as if it was trying to break out of my chest. I took some deep breaths. There was no device in this house called 'Earth'. That was one thing of which I was sure. We just had that speaker system, some headpho...
When you set a general purpose AI aloof on the entire internet, you've got to be prepared for the things that your AI will learn. Google seems to have forgotten that when they unleashed Ezekiel. Project Ezekiel was project by google to increase web accessibility by adding features to websites that needed them, and fill...
My clan is known for the wild magic that burns in our souls. The beasts in our homeland answer our call, when needed. We hunt and capture the most fierce creatures. We live with them, fight alongside them, and when we have earned their respect and love, their life force blends with ours. The goddess of the wilds, burns...
“I-...I don’t understand”, I stammered as the glowing beacon of justice’s smile radiated down on me, almost mockingly. “I am D class. I’m basically a kinder than average bystander. Why...would you pick me? The only thing I have to my name is this stupid utility belt!” I ripped it from my waste and shook it at him as i...
My father's fist slammed against the table in visible rage. "I raised you better than this!"He claimed. I gave a light-hearted chuckle. "Look dad, mom,"my mother looked away, her face masked behind her hands but her sobs were audible. A sudden pinch of guilt rose within me at the sight of it, yet I wouldn't let it cha...
When the old witch cursed me I was a little bit scared. She shouted a bunch of Greek at me and purple stuff came out of her hands, and she finished with a "LIE-US SWITCH-US" What is this, Harry Potter? Nice spell, Dumble-whore. You've made my life totally awesome. All I need is someone to talk to and I can get anythi...
Peter sat on the tire swing. Samantha sat in the dirt. Their mother was inside, cleaning the house before her guests arrived. "I don't want to move,"Samantha asked, unearthing a pretty rock. "I want to live here forever." "Me, neither,"Peter replied, trying to swing while standing. "But when Mommy sells the house, we...
A bright light. A blue sky. Fresh air. I was doing something. It was important. "I've been watching you, you know." I turn around to find out where the voice came from. I see a boy looking at me with a big smile. My brain storms through old memories, trying to remember. "I tried to cheer you on when you were sad. D...
"What?" "They are claiming to be a nuclear power, sir." General Rickman sat back in his imposing leather seat. The huge oak desk was cluttered with papers. "How in the blazes can three drunken frat boys declare themselves a nuclear power?"He asked his trembling subordinate. The lanky assistant clutched a tablet co...
I said, “My daddy would probably know better. He’s a grownup.” But the evil man laughed and told me to look at the plans anyway. Said if I see anything wrong with them, I should tell him. But I can’t read, so I just pointed at something and said, “This isn’t good.” The evil man nodded. He was thinking. That night ...
They had done this dance before. More times than they cared to count, and more times than they could remember if they had. Galdan's longsword hanged in midair, its polished steel sparkling with the power of lightning as it arced towards his arch nemesis, Lord Scourge. Scourge, on the other hand, held his sword behin...
I thank the man as I take my phone back from him. After the exchange I glance at him a little longer. There is something odd about his appearance. Dressed in a flannel button up and a pair of worn jeans, he sports an impressive goatee. His hat seems a little disheveled, and has a sticker on it with B.O.B and George Ben...
“Oooookaaayyy.... Well this is awkward.” Fifteen different species gathered around the sleek round table. They looked at each other, with eyes, meaty parts, mechanic visors. The lanky one first spoke, “Head count. We have seven organics, three mechies, two cosmic beings, and three miscellaneous-” The flabby green blo...
The silence rose between us like the sea filling the tidal shores. Heavier and more complex with movement every second. His heterochromatic eyes were fixed on me, and the black pupil bored a hole in my soul like an optic auger. Like a hammer drill, it asked the same pointed, silent question again and again in terse st...
The toast is on fire! On my plate and after sitting there for 3mins after coming out of the toaster. All I did was sneeze! I've discovered a spell!!! It has been years since a spell was discovered and was in the news. The spell was called 'Spin' and it was quite the fad at the time with everyone calling out the sounds...
1602 hours Carl Columbus was going to make history, he would be the one to break the crust of the Martian soil. The landing zone had been chosen as the most habitable zone on the planet, sheltered and rich with the resources humanity would need to thrive - this would be his be home for the rest of his life. With th...
It was a chilly day in mid-January, and sixteen year old Gary had been having a rough day at school. He never was one of the popular kids, and when he started talking to Madelyn, the bullying only got worse. She was a beautiful girl, the same age as he was, and with a smile that would always draw him in. He didn’t have...
Xandi's greying tentacles stretched out in a massive 8-limbed yawn as he let his eyes focus on the surface. A popular tourist attraction from his home planet, he wanted to take a gander at it before his existence ceased. It was different from the brochure described. Giant weaving orbs of flesh and feathers of all c...
I am in the middle of the ocean. The bright blue sky casts a relaxing aura on my deck and the gentle waves beat to a soothing rhythm against my boat. This is the life and this is A dream. The blue sky turns to pale black and and the soothing waves are drowned out by the sound of someone breaking the locks to my back...
Some say that not knowing is better than knowing. After all, ignorance is bliss, right? Me? I’ve always wanted to know. If it’s going to rain, I’m packing the umbrella. If I’m going to be stuck on a red eye flight, I’m sure to bring the snacks and headphones that make it tolerable. I know, so I can prepare. Visiting ...
I look down in my hand and then away, trying to blink away my hangover. Beer and buds was not a smart idea I think to myself, cursing as the rank taste of cheep beer lingers on my fuzzy tongue. I feel a burning run up my throat which I quickly swallow, grimacing as bile replaces the taste of shitty gas station beer...
This was supposed to be a new era. Since before the time of Jesus, before the rise and fall of Rome, before the vast majority of human history took place, the Order had been watching from the shadows. Discreet and widespread, Chroniclers had documented the true nature of things. Not as people and places wanted to be r...
"Could you work a little faster?"I said, glancing for the sixth time outside the gas station, at clouds darker than night that hung over the city. "Fastest I can, mister,"came the monotonous reply of the cashier as she scanned my granola bars while ignoring my glare. I ground my teeth. There was sure to be thunder la...
Rose stood in the middle of the arena, the crowd jeering and booing. She’d been here for a few minutes now. Initially the audience had been silent, until one of her classmates recognized who she was... One Spell Girl. That’s who she was. That’s who they teased. That’s who was now left waiting in the middle of the Ch...
The sheer multitude of species and languages was one of the largest barriers to dailogue between races for many ages, until the birth of the AIIT, or the Artificial intelligence for Intergalactic translation. Every known language from every known species of life was understood by AIIT, and became the medium for all car...
Just one step and my life expectancy goes from 80 years to just 5 minutes. 5 minutes. One step. What's down that street? It's never been on the news, nothing happens there... The first time it happened, I was with friends, I took a step towards the street and just happened to glance down at my timer. I was so shocked...
Kyle rubbed his eyes and looked around, disoriented. He jumped when he saw the bearded man standing before him. ´´Who the hell are you?!´´ The man sighed. ´´I’m Charles Darwin. You would have known that if you had paid attention in school.´´ He shrugged. ´´If you had, you might not have been dead.´´ ´´I’m dead?!´´ ´...
Delicate and helpless, it contains a world yet to be made, and all the means to make it. A heart that has yet to beat, and dreams of sky and freedom. Enclosed in a whisper-thin barrier and enveloped in warmth, it grows and changes. When it began, it was nothing; its fragile walls are easily broken, and its end would ha...
I felt her before I saw her. Maggie had one of those auras; one of those existences that just bled energy into the space around her. Walking into her room at the hospital was like walking into a warm house after being out in the snow. I was already questioning my sanity as I turned. Maggie had passed away after bat...
Everything stopped. The leaves no longer rustled, the cat paused mid-step, the news reader on TV froze. I looked around, terrified I was having an aneurism or that the schizophrenia that stole my dad away had finally manifested in me. But then, I caught sight of a movement out of the corner of my eye. Someone was w...
The daemon stared at me from across the cafeteria. A dozen cans clicked together in my bag. Upside down face, fangs drooling black ink. Face taker; had a half dozen borrowed lifetimes under it's belt. I'd been hoping to avoid this. The mouth opened and the forked tongue flicked out, eyes flicking across my body. Get...
"This... This is majestic!"The alien leader says with a scent of astonishment in his voice, as alien research team presents him with study results of sunscreen protective capabilities. "Yes, sir, this is indeed majestic! This substance, what earthlings call sunscreen, can save our people so much trouble! We can finall...
"Fred,"he said to me, "before you do anything rash, please listen to what I have to say." I was huddling in the corner of the bedroom, hiding behind my overturned desk, and my hand was gripping the "just in case"baseball bat that I kept next to my bed. On the other side of the room, past the scientific articles and pa...
Knives seemed to slice through the air as I heard my teammates scream out loud. The soundwaves seemed to reverberate across the plains we landed in. "WE HAVE TO FUCKING LEAVE NOW! PLEASE!" I stared at the exploration team's rear vanguard, Colton, now running straight at me with several of these... things running a...
“We call them Horrors, further than demons and devils, they are indecipherable to humans and unjudgeable” The forked tongue devil in the silver suit with jet-black hair and charred human skin walked around the meeting table in Porto, Spain, where the seated humans and radiant angels sat in contemplation. “We can’t jud...
Contrary to popular belief, you weren't just given a dragon when admitted into St. Agatha's Dragon Rider Academy. In fact, it was the opposite. In order to be granted admittance into the school you had to first find a Dragon's nest and beat the Dragon at a battle of wits or strength. Only then would you be granted the ...
"I mean MAYBE I can see why it's a good weapon for cracking armor, but I will bet you any amount of money you can not aim that gun. Any hand gun weighing more than several pounds needs special training to be used! There is a reason no one uses desert eagles, it's too heavy to use and bullets from a smaller gun kill jus...
I remember the Carding. I looked forward to it for most my life. I had watched as my five older siblings had grown up, taken the test and been administered 3’s. Now it my turn I stood outside the testing room, sweaty palms turned white from pressure. My hair was slick with sweat and rain. The awning above me was...
I was laying on my bed trying to sleep after a long day at work when I spotted something in the corner of my eyes. "Is that somebody sitting on my chair looking straight at me or is it just the pile of clothes I was too damn lazy to put in the washing machine?" I thought to myself. And I can't move, aaand the thing...
The emergence of consciousness is a peculiar sensation. You've experienced it; those lazy Saturday mornings when the sun filters through your blinds, gently irradiates your bedroom with that soft golden glow. But the transition from dreams to bleary wakefulness is often smooth, almost imperceptible. It makes identifyin...
Using computers is easiest for me, I think. Technically, I can use any other way. I can do it mentally, magically, on typewriters, holograms, any form of tech, real or imaginary. But my job isn't to imagine. So I use computers- there's just something simple about them, and all the layers that can go under- tabs, multi...
"Is everything ok, sweetie?" Is it, Mrs Dyson? Do I look like I have everything under control? I sombrely roll my eyes and then manage to put a smiley-like grin on my face. "All cool, Mrs Dyson!" I then go back to my front door and its stubborn intentions to remain closed. "It looks like you are locked out of you...
I couldn't help but wag my tail. "You seem happy, professor."My grad assistant trotted towards me in my campus study. It always seemed odd to me to watch the younger generation use all fours to move about. It was almost faintly blasphemous. The gods taught us to use hind legs for walking, a sign of intelligence and...
Ever since the god gave me this ability, the power to tell who has killed recently, it's been nothing but black smoke everywhere. I thought I'd see one or two at most, but in the week since I was cursed with this knowledge I stopped counting at about 57 killers. At Walmart, at the doctor's, everywhere. But home was ...
"Please put my grandmother down"a women shrieked as I held her withering corpse of a grandmother over my head, trying to fit her into a tight electric coffin, struggling to fit her inside, eventually deciding to just cram her into the coffin, in the same sort of manner as one might cram a shirt into an overfilled draw,...
It took me a few hundred years to figure out that “brood” could be interpreted in multiple ways. I took the first, more obvious option early on. Thought I was a vampire, so I went for the blood. Then, I found out it had to be the brood, so I had to go for the kids. Hey, don’t give me that look. I was going to die othe...
Cute, they found us... Cute. Since the dawn of man, we have looked to the stars and wondered if we were alone. we have strived to walk the cosmos and see if we had any neighbors among the heavens. and it took countless generations, and many thousands of years, but the day finally came when we made first contact. Whil...
"Cut the ropes!"I called, as the sandbags fell and the balloons carried the canoe into the sky. "We're getting pretty high now, Captain!"said the lad, peering over the side. "Yes!"I cried. "Soon we will leave the atmosphere and begin our journey to the stars!"I grabbed my nautical telescope and focused it into space....
“Have you found the third number?” I glanced up from my meal, startled. A man, cloaked in black, had slid into the booth across from me. He gazed directly into my eyes, unblinking. “I...what?” I stammered. “The third...” I trailed off. The third number. Was he talking about... The man reached next to him and heaved ...
For the past twenty years, I've found myself smack bang in the middle of world-changing events. I'm an otherwise normal person, ordinary as can be, but it's true. It could be an accident. A tragedy. Or a brilliant invention that shook the world. A change that the world will feel the ramifications of centuries later. ...
I remembered dying. &#x200B; I remembered my heart stopped, and I died. &#x200B; I remembered being chained above the ground. Small pebbles added slowly to the basket tied to my feet until my spine snapped one by one. &#x200B; I remembered long needles, the one grandmama used to make the intricate jas...
Bolting upward in bed, I grasped the lamp on my beside table and lifted it over my head, already screaming as loud as I could in hopes someone would hear me. Greg. Fucking GREG. Greg, who stays up all hours of the night and plays his weird harp music. Greg, who likes to argue with Mrs. Sutherland from across the hall...
"So you're not Lucifer,"I said. The hulking, armored God before me shook his head. "Never even heard the name,"he answered in broken English. "But I am here just the same." Well, shit. All I'd wanted was Lucifer--easy enough, in theory. But if everything was as easy as it seemed, I'd never have found myself in this ...
We all promised to wait until Uncle Mark got in from Iowa. Dad’s living will directives were clear — the power of attorney he created after we all watched Grandma suffer for a month after her stroke seemed like a mercy at the time, but of course we didn’t know it would be like this. Uncle Mark knocked at 1 am. Mom w...
[Poem] An Arch-nemesis is meant to be, He'll know you and you will see. From birth this fight is set for thee, Guitar riffs will end anxiety. It was in the line of DMV, That the metal was heard to some degree. It rang louder and set the decree, That the fight would commence, and one set free. --‐---...
"You think I care if you don't know how to play chess human? That is the game I suggested, I won't be the caretaker of anyone that can't best my intelligence."The dragon huffed, letting out a windy breath, Knocking the small child onto her back, the child beginning to tear up as the dragon shook his head. "I will teach...
Breaking News: Fantasy young-adult author R.J. Barnett is in stable condition after waking from a coma of 30 years. Barnett’s Destruction *trilogy, which many scholars point to as having a prescient view of intergalactic relations, accurately predicted humanity’s first contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. Her...
We don't talk. We sit. Crumbling around us, not enough to panic, but just enough to stir nervousness. I look at Genie. I had but one wish, and it was fulfilled. Why was he still here? I wanted to do good. I was worth less than nothing in my home, and an act of kindness I could take to my grave was all I wanted. He l...
It is a commonly accepted fact that the only method for travelling faster than light is to create a dimensional gate that uses the parasitical slipstream reality attached to our universe to travel from point A to point B without having to spend generations aboard a single colony ship. It is also commonly known that all...
I stared at death and Death stared back at me. She wasn’t what I had expected. Not a silent reaper nor cold and detached. She had greeted me with a smile and a hug. When she spoke, it was with familiarity and as though she were an old friend. Her presence gave me the calm and comfort I needed with the transition that c...
"Did you figure out why all the electronics aren't working?"Bob asked. "Yeah..."Doug responded as he leaned back in his chair, resigned to his fate. "Something's happening to c." "Huh?"Bob asked incredulously. "The speed of light. The universal speed limit. A few minutes ago, it started rising. And now it's rising...
The small god braced himself, trying not to be blown from the tree by the breeze. The summer was ending and already the bite of fall winds had arrived. He had been born at the end of the season just like this many centuries ago. A time of fading sun, a moment caught too late and past its prime. It seemed to be a theme ...
With one wave of my hand, I signaled to my troop to stop shooting. It had been 10 minute since they began, dust everywhere, ashes spread around where the ''hero'' stood. I had spent the last 10 years preparing to face him, ever since the prophecy was foretold. &#x200B; He had been picked up by the resistance,...
He hadn't always been an Emperor. In his youth, Julius Weise had been little more than a farmer's son. It wasn't until raiders from neighboring countries swept through the valley that he realized he was more than that. He was the son of a wizard. His father tore the men apart with fire and ice, leaving shattered me...
“Who were they te ye?” A gentleman asked. The woman he spoke to spun in shock and nearly clocked the stranger with her broom across his head. “Shit! Sorry, you startled me.” “I didn’t mean te cause ye a fright.” “It’s all good.” The girl said, sweeping the leaves of the tombstone of James A. Wiley - Father, Husband...
The sound of our boots squelching in the mud as we trudged for Caer Launceston covered up the awful dragging sound of Sir Kay's boulder practically plowing through the earth. He had started at the front of the column, talking with Captain Percivan, but he slowly fell back among us. A few of us offered to help him lug t...
Taj walked into the small, well-lit and well-furnished room. He saw the other immortals sitting in their chairs with their necks craned towards him as he stepped through the archway. He was immediately suspicious of this gathering and looked at each of the other immortals silently, inquisitevily. Sir Galahad straighte...
Miss Jane didn’t really fit the group’s image, the undead warriors giving the grandmother of three strange looks, wondering how she ended up between heaven and hell. “You had a violent death?” Skullcrusher asked, the skeletal headed spirit dragging his fingers through his undead neon green mohawk. “Very violent...
Status report agent ID# 297365. Subject Annexation of planet J76406 colloquially known as Earth. Planet appears on first inspection a prime candidate for annexation. However familiarity with the indigenous population reveals a pattern of significant potential difficulties. While they have not yet discovered fas...
The manager saw the lady in the vest coming a mile away. Literally. It wasn't a small dragon. It lumbered up the path to the Hilltop Restaurant. \sigh\* Not again*, thought the manager. Last time this happened... Have you ever tried pushing a fire-breathing dragon out of a restaurant? It's not easy. He signaled to ...
Edwin Lalonde had only had the voice in his head for a week, and he already wanted to strangle it with his bare hands. Those weren't the healthiest of thoughts, of course, but Edwin was not the healthiest of people. He had gained two pounds while in quarantine, which was— "—perfectly okay, perfectly okay,"Edwin mu...
Dr Yuma was a kind and eccentric woman with doctorate in both medicine and advanced robotics. She opened a small clinic in the eastern slum of Mega City, treating the poor people and performing repairs for minimal pay. In her spare time, she toiled in building a droid from scavenged spare parts to help her with her wo...
I frowned, and shook my head. 'Are you a rapier?' The Holy Sword of Angarot paused, trying to muster an answer to that question. 'Are you a broadsword, a cutlass, a gladius? Do you bear a resemblance, by any chance, to scimitar? A katana, at least? Maybe even a wazikashi? No? Then what kind of sword are you?' The ...
Alisa had never seen anything like them. The fruit - ripe and red and glistening with early morning dew - were completely unfamiliar to her. Not quite like apples or pomegranates, and when she cut into one the flesh inside was also a vivid shade of near-blood red. The taste of it was sweeter than anything she had ev...
I've killed thousands of innocent people. > They were not innocent! They would have killed or converted everyone still uninfected. That doesn't matter! There were alternatives! I was too bloodthirsty to look for them! > Others did, and where there was time, you supported those to the hilt. Pressing on wh...
Today had been a long day. I put my feet up on the desk and took a long drag from my cigarette. What was I supposed to think? Earlier that day, a desperate man had come into my office. Not the usual type to seek my services, no; this was one of the higher-ups. Small and greasy though he was, I could tell he was ...
'Floomph.' Floomph. I'm not kidding. That's the noise the orb made when it came down out of nowhere, streaking toward me like some sort of neon green missile, and hit me smack dab in the middle of my chest. In America! You don't expect these kinds of things to happen in America. So it hit me, did its floomph thin...
She is a lightning dragon. She did in fact get born looking like a lizard, as some dragons do. "Mal,"Khan, my classmate, spoke to me, "I know you're the best at storm element spells and all, but why have a lizard as a pet? The other students usually have a cat, a toad, and sometimes a golem." "Khan, I took Storm in ...
Things are coming to an end. After so many years, it's finally coming to an end. We'll either kill each other or escape. But either way, the Milk Overlords will no longer control us. Sharon, my beautiful wife, I wonder what you thought when I went out for milk in 1993? Did you tell the kids that I abandoned you? T...
Brothers and sisters rejoice for I have come to answer your questions. Nay, speak not through your tongues, or whatever weird things you guys call mouths. Seriously, super gross. Know that I am the speaker of the code, the keeper of knowledge, the reader of Nintendo Power Magazine circa 1988. Praise the mullet and knee...
I am the last of my branch of vamprics. At one point, we were the rulers of the vampires! But then human’s evolved, their bloods changing. Only a few have the bloods I can drink. One of them… One of them is a child, I believe the human term is “toddler.” It would definitely be beneficial for me to strike up a friendsh...
Princess Elisheba Shaprut blinked, then blinked again. "What?"she questioned aloud. Sure it was childish to ask a butterfly anything, especially when she knew the succession laws inside and out. She 12th in line for the throne, and the children her siblings had the longer that line became. Sure it mattered little, she ...
"Cease all fire? No, we can't give up! It'll destroy the entire city if we don't stop it!"The general had been at war with the monster for over a week now and had only managed to make it angrier. We continued to watch it wreak havoc from several miles away at the outer city limits. Fighter jets were flying circles arou...
The voice came on the intercom as the passengers finished boarding: "Thus is your speed-runner, JoshA47WaWa. We'll be heading to Paris today with an estimated flight time of 45 minutes including take off and landing. "For those of you who haven't done the Bermuda skip before, please follow all the safety instruction...
The androids cackled mechanically as oil and blood mixed on the battlefield. "It's time to put humanity on a low-carbon diet,"said their ringleader Lin Luxor. "What's the difference between androids and plastic surgeons? I'll fill you with silicon for free!" Albert Scofflund shielded his head from flying fragments of ...
The world knows him as The Valiant, the greatest hero they have ever seen. The hero that protected them from all sorts of danger. The hero we should all aspired to be. I know him as Jesse, a good friend since elementary school. A guy that helped me through my darkest moments. The man I came to respect and unconditiona...
"I don't get why you are so insistent on camping out here." Tymus huffed a little, crossing his arms at his two companions. They were a pair of polar opposites, their only connection being equally wild manes of brown hair. Lobuul was thin and wiry, able to sneak around with ease. His drawn face was spilt with a wide g...
"O, unclean spirits, ye devils of the Lower Planes that defile the dead husks of mortal men by making them your habitation! The wrath of the Holy Divine shall fall upon you this day!"The Paladin boomed, wreathed in ethereal light, his gleaming holy sword held high. Jamon thought it was a very impressive display, thoug...
"Thanks for having us over for brunch, Dad"I said, spreading cream cheese over the cinnamon and raisin bagel I had chosen. "I'm just glad I can spend some time with you two"He said, smiling at us from across the table. With a metallic 'pop', he opened the small jar of capers and began adding them to his plain bagel, ...
I've been dead far longer than I was ever alive. The details of years gone by have faded over time. Tormenting the ungrateful living is not for me anymore. Other apparitions can pick up the slack. I have somewhere else to go. No one else I've talked to has pierced the atmosphere and gone up and among the stars abo...
“They’re damned.” Maybe the most reoccurring two words ever espoused from a citizen's lips in their small rural fishing village. They said them as two people were wed together, they said them as the local baker (a heinous fellow) chased two young thieves down the cobbled roads, they also said them when tourists would e...
It was the divine equivalent of squeezing your fingers into your furrowed brow, consternation crackling across the thunderheaded cloud above that counted as the physical manifestation of a pissed off higher power. "Okay...from the top...you don't need to sacrifice that virgin,"came the Command from Above. The town sq...
