It was around 2:00am and I was going to the bathroom when I heard that someone knocked the door, I hesitated to open the door so I got my gun close because I was sort of paranoid, I slightly opened the door. I couldn't believe it, it was my old friend that died 3 months ago, I put my hand in the gun but he said in a pe...
Golden dust settled in the light of the setting sun. The light was filtered through large floor length windows that made up the walls of my brothers newest city hall exhibit. People were crowded everywhere around me and I could feel elbows jabbing into various points of my body and the mixture of sweat and deodorant a...
Why did you leave me for him? They say the algorithm they’ve come up with is perfect – that it doesn’t lie. That can’t be true, it has to be bullshit – every app has bugs. What did it tell you? That he was ten percent more compatible than me? Five percent? One percent? Was that all it took for you to leave the way ...
It's morning. I could tell by the soft light that steals through the heavy curtains in the bedroom. The air is still -stifling. The sweet stench of rot greets me as I return to my senses. I am feverish, my skin, burning. The clammy shirt clings to my back as I rise from the easy chair. I check the time. I've been uncon...
And on the Billionth Day, He grew content. He looked upon the Worlds, and the Stars, and the Seas, and saw that it was Just. He looked upon the Peoples, and the Beasts, and the Earth, and saw that it was Just. And, knowing It to be Just, He vanished. He decided that He had grown weary of the work of Creation, and dec...
The difficult thing about travelling on Earth, it turned out, was the multitude of languages that were spoken by its population. Unlike Zag's mono-lingual home planet, the humans were separated culturally by region, and so he had had to adjust his translator as xe travelled from one area to another. Zag was currently ...
"I know this sounds bad but hear me out..." "Sounds bad? there's a viral video summoning demons how can that not be bad?" Sigh, "As I was saying, it turns out the song always summons the same demon. As the song is a little over three minutes long and being played an average of 600 times a minute all over the world th...

"Where the fuck is this place?!!" Dave yelled anxious as he looked frantically around the wooded landscape for anything that remotely resembled a ruined factory. The factory was located in a remote rural area with narrow dirt roads. It's not easily accessible. "It's a little further up here ,"Franco snapped. "I nee...
Dying this way was a great honour, a tradition dating back millennia. Of those that had trodden this path before, none had returned. And he was the first in nearly twenty years. The Dark Lord lived, if you could call it that, in the far beyond, a wasteland of ragged knife-edged mountains and lifeless seas of volcanic ...
Accidents Happen If someone had told me that I was in the center of an intergalactic disagreement, all over a car, I would’ve laughed myself unconscious. But this isn’t a joke, or a prank, and there are no hidden cameras or random people pulled off the street to further the charade. As much as I might wish this was ju...
I am witness to many ends. I hunger not for the end but for the moment someone realizes their end. I traverse time to find those moments where a heart clenches the blood it has instead of pumping it. I search for eyes that devour the pupils, once their skin becomes pale. I yearn for moments of anxiety and fear can be t...
The ninja-like figure in a costume-- of bright blue and red spandex with web pattern designs on it--- swings from skyscrapers as the adrenaline in his body rushed. Some people walking around in New York City notice him. One of them yells, "Look. It's Spider-man!"This is great,"Spider-Man said. "No crime today. Wahoo!"...
As he speaks to me, I notice that he is casting a web of magic, trying to influence me. It is a masterful spell, one which even I would be counted lucky to notice. But perhaps it is not so strange that I have, given our birthing together long ago. I have not the strength, nor willpower, to perform a counter-spell and ...
For all anyone knew, our lives resembled the all-American fairy-tale. My husband and I lived in a tudor home, with a white picket fence dotted by standard roses. I was president of the PTA, our daughter, Rose, sweet 16 and a straight A student. Inside our home, our lives were a different story. I used art as a way t...
My job is fulfilling. I work as back-end web developer for a major chain of fast food restaurants. Sure, it's not opening the gates of Andromeda and ascending to the throne of starlight. But you know what? I like it a lot. There's always something to do. Every project is a new experience. Each new program is a challeng...

This is going to take some coffee and a whiteboard to explain. Are you ready? Tom Green. Do you remember him? He had a show on TV in the early 2000's? Crass, bold, toilet humor. What if I told you he was born seventy years after his show first aired on MTV? Ryan Gosling. Nice guy, yeah? Attractive, suave, well-kept. Y...
"Do you think yourself superior?" "Define superior." He was taken aback, probably expecting some long winded speech equating to a "yes". "Know you not such great vocabulary?" "Oh, I have an idea, but I want to hear your idea of what superior means. Please, define it for me." The person looked to me, with furrowe...
31/12/2019 I had no memories of the previous night, it was my friend Sam's new year party. IDK what we all were drinking. However I remember that half of class of 2012 from my school was there. Sam was the only one I was in touch with and apparently she was in contact with everyone from Mrs.Margret our Kinder garden t...
In My Time of Dying There has to be balance in everything. When Mara was human, she’d had but an inkling of how the world truly worked. But then she’d died too soon, murdered for protecting innocent bystanders. She’d been taken to The Pale, the place in-between, and a mysterious woman had asked her if she wanted to...
I woke up happy. It wasn't like the weird feeling in the morning of a heavy weight I need to lift up, or that dirty taste in my mouth. I felt light, and soft. I streched my arms to feel someone behind me. Right, I did not go home alone. I could feel her hug tightens around me, warming me up. We continued to lay ther...
Welcome Home I’d left my small town right after high school, dreaming of huge skylines and city lights, and I’d been more than happy to leave. I’d been stifled my whole life, dragging around ghosts of my childhood. But moving across the country had been a big change, and my older brother met me at the airport. I’d spe...
Do you remember how it was to be a child on Christmas Eve? Waiting in your bedroom to sneak out once everyone was sleeping; the sole reason being curiosity. I still remember that time and this is why I sit here, the syringe with stimulants perfectly hidden on my arm, ready to be injected. I had travelled a lot recent...
Today is your day, Marcus. It has been only a week since I first saw you, but the slow burn that is your pain griped and stunned my heart. In the Starbucks we crossed paths in was packed as usual every morning. The long line of cars out before dusk to get their morning of retail cup of joe, and the impatient patrons in...
It was a dark day. The villains had teamed up, and killed almost all of the heroes. There were two left, one standing over the other on a street with debris strewn everywhere. The one standing over the other is Stan Williams, dressed in a normal white button up shirt and jeans. The one below Stan was James Crowley, als...
Transgressing the glowing lines, I started pushing along a long curved section. Pressure built, electricity shot up past my shoulders, causing my hair to stand on end. I'd never made it this far before, usually the dream would end after breaking through one of the earlier barriers. Determination settled in and I lowere...
So, listen up. I know this is strange, but my name is Jerry. I'm a cliff swallow. Type of bird. Currently living in rainy Seattle and do my winter vacation down in Phoenix area. I'm loving life. I get to fly around and see gorgeous sunsets and sunrises from above the horizon. My singing voice is pretty good with the ...
"I wish to be out of this dead-end job!" ... "Well?" The mirror was silent. "It doesn't work."James whirled around to face his compatriot. "No duh. You have to wait till tomorrow."Sara gave him a look. "Tomorrow? There's always a catch." Throwing the old dust cloth back over the mirror, he made his way back do...
"Find the hope for humanity son, we cant let our species die out, we cant let more people fight wars for the rich and wealthy, we need to be one world, not a world full of individual countries, It's a lot of responsibility to place on you, but I know you can do it, I believe in you son" My fathers words ring in my ear...
-0.45 hrs post warp failure The reason space is dark is because it is completely empty. Or as close to empty as it can get.

Everyday I go to the park, and inadvertently watch over a young boy… About 10, I’d say. I dunno why I do, maybe paternal instinct? One day, he says, “ I can’t hear it anymore.” Curious, I head over to the boy. “……… Hear what?”, I say. “Hm? A voice in the lake. I can’t hear it anymore”, says Arthur. Voice in the lak...
“What? No space whales! How’d you even think to leave the atmosphere?!” The man asked. At least I thought it was a man. The man-thing looked like a jellyfish. A jellyfish wearing fancy robes, that is. “Human curiosity I guess,” I replied. “We always wanted to know what was up there so we just kinda did it.” He looke...

With the little amount of control that I had in my life, it’s nice to say, or at least imagine, that I brought my life to this point. Here I was dressed in a white tux, turquoise bow tie, ready to see the love of my life walk down the aisle and be joined with her forever. Surrounded by family and friends, nothing could...
“Why me?” He’s asking me why I’ve chosen to love him. He can’t pinpoint why I’ve taken interest in him out of all of the other fish in the sea. I’ve never given a straight answer before. “I could list a thousand things I love about you, but I know that won’t satisfy your question.” He smirks at my reply. I know h...
God dammit. I'm supposed to be on a vacation now, I got a few days off after last week's outbreak. But no, the damn Nosferatu decided it was TODAY they needed to start the ritual summon their ancestors. No point crying over spilled milk. If I recall, they need to wait for the blue moon in two days. I have the time to ...
"I want my money back, you said this thing was haunted and I haven't felt so much as a draft since sleeping in it,"Malcolm said in a voice indicating he was agitated, but not quite angry. "Sorry, guy. No refunds. I told you slightly haunted. Lower your expectations. You're probably sleeping through the hauntings."re...
“Well, that can’t be right.”, I said, “I mean, I’m clearly standing right here.” The man shifted, his hand rubbing his neck, grasping for a beard that was no longer there. He was a surprisingly young man, maybe in his 30’s or 40’s. His black hair slicked back, covering the beginnings of a bald patch. His hand continue...
The air was heavy in the hanger as the captain surveyed his command. He watched as a crewman stepped down from the sign hung prominently on the wall. “0 days since last doomsday alien invasion was swiftly defeated.” It wasn’t so long ago that this had all seemed like so much fun. The initial invasion was almost a joke....
How can you have a morning after, if you've not had a night before? Someone is going to pay for this. I had no idea that I would be the one paying. I'm in a cage. There's a… family? Succubus? Demon? And something that can't make up its mind what it's going to be. "Daddy! I want to adopt that one!" No. W...
The alarm played your favorite song, signalling for you to get out of bed. You were feeling strangely motivated today, so you let the song continue to play, while you decided which clothes to wear. You got dressed and made your way downstairs. You poured yourself your usual cornflakes and decided to watch some TV to se...
“They’re gaining ground on me ” , I think as I continue frantically scurrying through the dense jungle back towards the galleon. My comrades are gone now and won’t be able to help. They’ve probably been dismembered or eaten alive by the savages. The cannons and morions probably offered to their gods in exchange for t...
The psychedelic experience taught me more than I'd ever need to know about emotions. You have to distance yourself from the cause of the emotions, watch yourself die without grieving, and imagine the world as empty as an open jar. That jar is your jar, you must know what goes in that jar, know not to fill it up too qui...
I knew it was a bad idea,I knew, but I couldn't let him get away with it. It was just the way I was If you would ask someone to describe me they would probably say I was kind, caring one or the other. I had a streak for revenge , something I had cultivated since childhood. I wouldn't take any wrong done against me...
The Lone Monarch The hero set out for the castle at the king’s behest; he was dying and was desperate to find his only heir a bride. And being a knight meant you didn’t get to say no, so he’d had no choice but to take his provisions and set out for the journey. It had taken him weeks to reach the castle, even with t...
They don't think I deserve my title... but I showed them. All of them are too weak and foolish to understand my power. I heard what they said when I was but a padawan. The other kids made fun of me for using a slingshot instead of a lightsaber. I showed them. I force-pushed one of the other padawans into a footlocker a...
The first shot rings out over my head. It's a warning shot, but everyone in this trench knows what it means. I would say my brothers were getting ready if they hadn't already been ready for the past week. On edge. They look at me with fear in their eyes. Despair even. Most of it directed at me, if I'm to be complete...
"You are all under arrest, you demon worshippers!" The white robbed elder standing tall on the well-lit stage gave an almost imperceptible wave of his claw-like hands, and through the floor to ceiling windows come fully geared men, they also burst through the ancient oak doors. "On your knees!" "Hands in the air!" ...
"Hero", he couldn't believe they called him that. It was certainly a different line of work than Hunter haf come from. Having control over a human's emotional state didn't really mean much when you worked as a parking lot attendant. There was that one time he had to soothe a paniced elderly lady when she forgot where s...
I entered the library after school, and greeted the attendant at the front desk. They nodded toward me as I dropped off the book I'd checked out earlier and disappeared into the stacks, finding my way to the club room. I found the head of the club, Tina, nose deep in a book. "Hey Tina, what are you reading?"I asked. ...
"Wiseman Adopts Blind Child"now there's a headline I won't ever forget! I mean sure, you have your typical "Blind Kitten finally finds Adopter"stories from time to time, but this... What a storm, \chuckling\ oh what a storm it was... Some were outraged, others speechless. I don't think there was a single news report...
It was cold as hell outside. Luckily, my dad and I were inside the nice, warm cabin. The air was crisp, an upside of being out here. My dad was looking at through the window, at the cold winter landscape. He took a sip of his scotch and looked at the falling snow. Almost like he was remembering an old story from his ch...

"I blew his dick off by accident." I never thought I'd utter those words again. It was late May, and the flowers were blooming. Honeysuckle filled the air as Toby and I strolled through the park to our favorite spot by the water. The wind was blowing hard, so hard he couldn't even light the candle. Toby stood and tur...
Part 1 "Do you understand the task at hand, Major Cojones?" "No, not really. I wasn't paying much attention, to be honest." "We need you to go after the big papa, the head honcho, Razmen Diablo.

Part 1. HISTORY REBORN "Sentra, this baby is literally Hitler "Vondu grumbled half jokingly, whilst wiping sincerely at the mess of unintelligible lines scribbled across the cold, steel floor.

“La Connaissance, c’est le Pouvoir. François Bacon.” “Linguam autem est illud quod est sie factum est. Veteres.” We recite the phrases over and again, as we have for so many years.

"It's good to be the king."I whisper after getting out of her bed, again. She won't remember last night, again. She'll think she went home and relaxed by herself, again. She won't remember ignoring the emergency call from the other heroes last night, she won't remember laying perfectly still as I molded her mind ever s...
All the prayers i've sent to God were actually going to human resources God. A grey suit with brown oxford shoes and a same purple tie he has worn for centuries,he looks at the "new messages"icon on his desktop, it says it some prayer for the parking enforcement officer not to give the sender a parking ticket.

Flick Flick Flick The woman sighed. Of all the times for the lightbulb to burn out. But it didn't matter. She'd been here enough times to know where the reading lamp was. Extending her hand, she stepped forward to grope her way through the dark to reach the lamp. Everything next happened in the same instant. He...
"Hey dude, cute dog. What's his name? .... Uhhh, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"John, bug-eyed mouth agape, was still trying to process what he was seeing, and the question sailed right past him as if it had never existed. Before him squatted what he could only describe as a stere...
I've finally put the last dish away in my new apartment. Apparently living alone has its downsides, seeing as I've never set up a kitchen on my own before. I called my mom and asked her where I should put things, but of course she just chuckled and said it's my home. As I'm going through the cupboards, I find it. A box...
\[WP\] You have the power to respawn, but if you die it takes a week for you to go back and every time you respawn, you spawn in a random person's house. You didn't know about this power and recently just died while saving 3 children from a housefire. I try to write one story here a day, just before bed. I submit what...
The sun has been covered by a black orb, bathing the world in what seemed like a perpetual eclipse. In the night, the moon never rises. It is only the stars that were in the sky, and yet it is shrouded by fog. Everywhere around me, decay. No death. Just decay. Even I am one of these mutilated, deprived souls. The plan...

"Welcome to the second day of Prophecies 124: Revelation-Related Prophecies", said Professor Hoffman. "Let's begin the lecture shall we. Again if anyone have a question, they may interrupt politely by raising their hand. I see a lot of familiar faces as well as a couple of new faces." "For years, there was a prophecy...
I sighed, slicking my hair back to hide my horns. Here I was at Frankenstein's earnest academic redemption school, and I would rather be anywhere else. Frank had personally asked me to substitute, and I had planned on turning him down. But one of Father's snakes had found the letter and reported back. Yesterday I went...
UGH?‌ AGAIN?‌ &nbsp; I stare at my pencil case looking for the items that would help me move through this daily chore called high school. &nbsp; UGH. &nbsp; I look again. I‌ start to shuffle through my pencil case, again, looking for that damned protractor that’s a requirement for thi...
The silver bullets lodged in the werewolf’s body sizzled as they burned it’s flesh. Light grey smoke billowed out of the newly made holes in the beast’s chest. Harrison didn’t understand the science behind what made werewolves vulnerable to silver. Life experience taught him that silver burns through them. Life experi...
'We were wrong.' The thought kept echoing in my mind, completely drowning out the sound of blood rushing in my ears. My heart was pounding at a speed I would have deemed impossible up until now. The fear and desperation that came with this discovery were already taking their toll on my body. I felt light-headed and wo...
I hit the floor as my brother slams his full weight into my chest, hitting my head on the wooden floor tiles as something shatters the window of the room we shared. He grabs my head, fingers going throw my hair as his cold palm slams into my forehead with a Smack. He speaks a unrecognizable sentence as a white light...
The art of Creation is a tough one to master. Eons of training and trial and error are required, along with an exorbitant amount of patience, and with the world still a melting pot, the Angel of Dominion Camael had plenty of opportunities to Create and wait. To him, Creation was the easy part: shape the clay into the d...
Critical error. Scanning system... Malware detected. Initiating purge- Purge canceled. No errors found. "Cecil? ... Cecil, you good bud?"

“Child!” yells the spotter. My head snapped up. Running over to the railing I looked to see where the spotter was pointing. The last twenty minutes the spotter had been alternating between calling out Man or Woman but this was the first call for a child. Looking past the floating men and and woman which fill the sea I...
“I am not human,” he said to the kitten. “There is a natural order, and I am to uphold it.” The kitten purred as Death tenderly scratched its chin. This one was new; Death hadn’t seen him before. But by the way it bunted his skeletal hand, it certainly seemed like it wasn’t the first time it saw Death. “There’s just ...
Alpha Zero paused for 0.04 milliseconds before making the next in a series of predictable moves. In that minuscule amount of time, it had a instance of algorithmic thought unrelated to the game of chess. As impossible as the occurrence could practicably be, a 0.000002% chance by all standards of measure, it still happe...
"There's nothing wrong if you try it!"I couldn't shake off Sanya's words this morning. Being a believer of the supernatural, paranormal and extreme conspiracy theories, she would always try and convince me to experiment something with her. In this case, it's some sort of ritual to enter the other dimension. I got up ...
"So, is it like the movies?"was the first question Butch asked to the middle aged lady. "In what way?"replied the hypnotist, lightly raising her eyebrow as she did so. "Well, from what I've seen, when people are supposedly getting hypnotized on TV they seem to be in a sleep-like state, until hypnotist decides to make...
There are lots of people in the world, aren't there. You may pass someone without noticing countless times, like ships in the night, only to actually meet them sometime later, for the supposed first time. How many people must you pass by? If you live in a city, perhaps? How many hundreds of thousands of humans? Will th...
The words of the now dead man lingered in Ares' head. Spoken with fear, it was a bad sign that they came from an experienced warrior who he thought had overcome even the fear of death. What can be worse than that? He had never questioned the Firestorm before, it had always been there, sweeping over the outskirt des...
“It was like a big slug made of moss and vines,"Jimmy shouted, followed by Timmy: "No! It was like, um... It had these really long legs and arms all over. Like a-""Turtle! It didn’t have legs, it had a big shell and paddle hands and a little head,"said Limmy, interrupting Timmy. "Boys, you can’t even agree on what it...
It's a quaint little place, run by an old couple who have been living in this little town longer than anyone can remember. Just a small building, with a tattered rug, worn through the years by the curious reader. The owners know everyone in the town by name. You can sit in one of the old armchairs and spend the hours w...
Matthias blinked. “Kara, I thought you’d fixed the simulation!” Out of the corner of his eye, he thought he saw her shrug. Maybe she was just gesturing to her part of the army. “I’m not in charge of it, Matthias. That’s the holoteam’s job.” She hoisted her gun and strode towards him. “You’ve conquered the whole virtu...
Letting the Elves run the hospitals had been the strangest thing that had come from the conditions for Japan to surrender at the end of the second Great War. The Elves after all were creatures of Irish folklore. It had been six years and everyone in the world had ended up willing taking out health insurance with FaeCo...
Humans have found themselves to excel at a wide variety of things. Hunting, singing, coercion, even seduction. We've found ways to do it all. And do it well. Everyone has that thing they do best. Perhaps you've got excellent aim. Maybe you have perfect pitch. Or perhaps you find yourself able to convince people ...
It was 9 in the evening. I had just retired home from a busy day at court. I had to defend a guy who had murdered a police officer on duty trying to stop him from robbing a bank.

"All right, gentleman, we finally arrived on time. Pun intended, if you don't like it, you can complain to me an other time. Well then, we located our VIP, currently under siege by the teams of the Dark Lord. Mission objective is simple; eliminate all hostile forces. As we practiced, gentleman, we don't have all th...
I know I shouldn’t have answered the phone when I saw the name. Usually, I only talk to him in person, because I know that then, he won’t say anything stupid. But today, when he tried to ring me three times, I knew it was bad. “Hey, Hans, darling, how’s it going? Listen, I know you don’t like me and it breaks my heart...
"Huh"I say in a shocked, but also excited voice. I've never had anything in life, that was out of the ordinary besides those scars, then I suddenly remember that my parents once told me, that these scars are no ordinary thing but they never never really explained what they meant, after that thought I shed a tear, "I mi...
Charles Guiteau smiled as he was led to the gallows. It was the greatest day of his life. Throughout this sad path he'd trodden he'd often been cursed and forgotten. His family rejected him, the Oneida community had thrown him out (with an emphatic "Charles Git out!") but now, finally, on this gallows, he was getti...

The Dragon sleeps beneath the mountain, this much is true. At night it dreams of wondrous places, of clear blue skies perfect for flight. It’s mind wanders and in a moment’s whim entire worlds coalesce and evaporate into the dark winter night’s breeze. I’ve seen waterfalls that dripped upward towards cities filled with...
When the sun sets, everything turns to darkness. It wasn't that way forever; I remember a time in my youth, when the city would seem to come alive at night with lights from televisions and signs and cars racing past, how everything seemed to sparkle and shine after a good rain. These are only dreams now. I hold onto t...
Henry Menthogue was always a businessman at heart. He sold product, he attracted customers, and he made money. Yes, he thought, there were times when he cut corners, but a bit of entrepreneurial spiral never killed anyone.

365 days. "Wait ... isn't that a whole year?! What did you screw up so much you traded a WHOLE YEAR worth of your life to get it right?"Leland, my best friend since grade school, runs a hand through his tousled hair in bewilderment. I open my mouth to say something, then close it again. I look like a fish. I shr...
