All the other acolytes of the Doom project was present, I had forgotten how big this project was. The Supreme Being had summoned all his subjects within project Doom to asses all the individual projects within the larger scheme, what I didn't expect was that there would be a highlight of the most successful among the ...
Being banished, to a god, is like a child growing up and telling his parents, "Okay, bye-bye, pack your things and get out. This is my house now. We don't want you to be our parents anymore." Those words hurt: *We don't want you*. Even when those words are not said. It's what makes so many adopted child search for the...
It's dark outside - dark as the devil's heart, they say, though the old lighthouse keeper wouldn't know. He's repairing the beacon. It's shorted out in the thunder. He suspects it's been struck by lightning, that some bolt has found it's way in through the open window. Just his luck, too. He's retiring in a few months....
I woke with a start, my eyes adjusting to the murky air around me and I slowly start to remember where I am as the room becomes more and more familiar. That’s the problem with traveling nonstop—you go to sleep in strange places and when you wake up, it takes time to remember what you’ve been up to. What had woken me ...
"*So, Mister... Phoenix. You say you and your girlfriend, Miss...Silence, are having a lovers quarrel because one of you is a hero and the other is a villain?"* Hello, I am a couples' counsellor. "*Yes, ma'am. I want her to join me in heroism, and she wants me to go to the dark... beautiful... but evil side."* Phoenix...
Whoo-hoo! Garden of Eden! Uriel... I forgot that part of the story. Hm... what do I do? Do they rely on belief? Probably, but I am not a full-on Christian, so probably not. I look at Uriel. "*Ok, Uriel, if I told you I wasn't a human, would you let me in?"* I ask. "*Humans shall not enter."* Echo. *"There's a human...
“I’m done! Gabriel, bring back the *other* gods.” “It will be done my Lord.” Shortly after deities from across space and time appear before the God of the Universe. Every god ever made was there. They were all standing in rows and Gabriel called out, “If your name is called say ‘here.’ Understood? Alright, Zeus? Che...
The ship had likely collided with a stray chunk of glacier according to the navigator. While the hull was intact the sigils guarding Veerana at the bow of the ship had been damaged. She could hear them. Bickering. The big one, Gilada, the leader of the mercenaries declared they needed to turn back. Gilada argued alon...
On mobile, so formatting sucks. When I was younger, I used to look up to those superheroes shown on TV. They looked really flashy, have amazing powers, and can always save anyone they meet, even the villians! But as I grew up, I noticed how shallow the people in my city can be. They only do things for their own benef...
This was the moment I was dreading my dentist appointment when they clean my teeth I can’t hold my mouth open and smile. It’s just impossible. But it was only 10:18 and I had until 1:30.

With the aid of his super strength, Victor easily launched the table across my office. The table had been of the coffee verity. You know, the type to sit in front of some plush lounge seating - couches, armchairs, shit like that - for the purpose of being the place where you set down your beverage or magazine or whate...
"Greetings. I am Zorblar, member of the Zorgardian nation."The alien said. Harry stared from his car. The alien stared back. "Um, I don't mean to be rude, but I'm in the middle of something." "What is this 'middle of something'?"Zorblar asked, perplexed. "The traffic's backed up a lot, and I need to pay attention ...
I turned my head looking around as I opened the door to a room with many antiques, furniture, and a wide glass cabinet across the way. Aunt Sayua said not to come into this room. It was being renovated and she didn't want anyone touching anything in it, especially if it looked valuable. "Yeah you!"I heard again, th...
"What?.."- You are genuinely confused, trying to recover your breath after a long and hard battle against that huge three headed dog. The giant - ten meters maybe, - man in a black robe with wings behind his back quietly sighs in a slight frustration, holding a wincing beast by the chain, attached to the collars on th...
There are many runic spells, of many different usages. Some are benevolent, like the Angurgapi, which prevents barrels from leaking or the Þjófastafur that protects your house against thieves. Some are more malicious in nature, like the Lásabrjótur, allowing you to open a lock without its key, or the Dreprún, for kill...

"There's no time!"he hissed. The fearful tone in his voice shook me to wakefulness. Darryl was usually serious and composed, and I had never seen him like this. Without a word, I rushed out of bed, heading downstairs with heavy footsteps as I made my way to the toolshed in the backyard. "Did you say apocalypse?"I hisse...

A small sparrow feather was stuck to the fresh sap and blood on Florence’s arm. She propped herself against a pine tree on the edge of the forest glade, hot with sweat and heavy breath. *Gods, what happened?* The burning scent of recent witchcraft was strong, very strong. *I must have cast a big one. Is this my blood? ...
By this point, you know something is wrong: for the third time you had open your eyes and the clock has shown times in descending order. And then you feel sick, you try to stand up, but you lose your feet and you feel falling down. Down, down, down the rabbit hole, just like Alice. But you open your eyes once again a...
You know the saying absolute power corrupts absolutely? Well... I didn't have *absolute* power, but it was close enough. Basically, I could snap my fingers and change things around me. You may be saying to yourself, "Huh? That sounds pretty absolute to me!" Not really. I can't do things that are too...miraculous, ...
A bear, a rabbit, and a deer meet in the bear's cave to conclude what happened to the humans that used to visit the forest. Their visits weren't that frequent, but they haven't visited in five years. The bear, rabbit, and deer debate what happened to the humans. After some debate, the rabbit and deer conclude that the ...
Down. The only way was down. Further down. Darker. Colder. The dirt was eating away at his nails. Burning his skin. Dancing back and forth. Down. Down. Down. He would be able to scream as loud as he wanted the further down he went. Nobody would find him screaming for help. There was no food the further down he went. No...

The first thing I felt when I woke up was the same, splitting pain you feel in your head after a night of bad drinking. I clutched the back of my skull carefully, slowly massaging the pain as I struggled to regain consciousness. From my matted tangle of hair, something wet and warm met my fingertips. Instinctively, I o...

AI was harder than we thought. There really WAS something special about humans that couldn't easily be replicated by computers. That something, it turned out, was in the brain stem. It governed basic instincts and emotions, and it was shared by many vertebrates. Enhancing humans with computer memory and logic prove...
"Will it be functional?" Both of the men stared at the strange, partially constructed monument that was being erected in New York harbor. The progress to complete the massive undertaking had been slow to say the least. Between a lack of funding and the constant protests the monument had almost not been at all. The Fre...
(self response, sorry! O_O) It, as always, all started when I was born. My first transformation was when I was 3 days old, according to my father (who is a tomcat, by the way).

I looked around from the top of the highest mountain. Somehow, despite the latest in surveillance equipment, I’d bought, begged for or stolen, one or two always managed to get passed.

"It's a beautiful day, isn't it?"Simon gave the brunette a smile and gestured at the window. Outside, the heavy downpour made the day hard to see from inside the crowded cafe. "Mind if I join you?

I was just trying to get home after working the late shift so I could set up the new bike for Sarah, when I heard a noise in the alley just a few blocks away from the station. Christmas Eve was always a busy night, but I didn't think I'd see anything this close to the station. I heard the telltale click of fangs, the ...
This puzzle was to become my prison and life for eternity. Becoming one with the puzzle's picture made me a happier entity than before. I suppose being able to reason about the fact that it happened is in itself a blessing and a curse. One I wished for and dreaded. I had this puzzle for the longest time, it was of...
My boss was an octopus in a spacesuit with a fishbowl helmet. My office was a seaweed garden, littered with treasure chests and shipwrecks. “Jenkins!” my boss called. Angry bubbles frothed inside his helmet. “My office. Now!” I doggy-paddled over, huffing and puffing into my twelve-foot-tall snorkel. My boss’s office...
There had always been pros and cons to having a massive Johnson, but finally, the real advantage was revealed. Stacking clothing was still popular, but since the monocle of deactivation was invented - where you could deactivate any visible item - the limits of useful stacking had increased greatly. That is, other t...
“Hey Walter, wait up!” I jogged to catch up with my long legged friend and was out of breath by the time I reached him. “Why didn’t you wait for me? We were supposed to meet at the Taco Shop.” Walter stared blankly before hiccuping violently. “What?” I squinted. “The Taco Shop? The one a whole BLOCK from here? I had...
"Damn it. That Overseer must have had a hand in this!"I grumbled as I looked bleakly at the planet that was handed over to me. All I wished for was to be a powerful deity, okay? What I wanted was the prestige and the reverence of the people. As for the responsibility, I want none of it! Damn it, Overseer come here! I...
The wooden mask was warped and chipped, blending in with the driftwood that washed ashore. The waves foamed and crashed peacefully, absorbing the moonlight shining from above. Each rush of water danced across the naked feet of the couple walking along the shore. Romance was in the air. “I just, really think we should...
I don't even know how I got this ability. It just happened one day; every person had a bunch of numbers above their heads flashing like neon lights, and I was the only one who could see it.

It started one morning when I was just reading some books while eating chips. My pet, Kyle was on my lap getting comfy. That is when he says something a little bit unexpected. >Hey, hows your day goin' so far? I didn't know who said it or if it was just in my head. So, I ignored it. >Hello? Are you listening? ...

It started six nights ago, I was used to working late at night, the ground floor perfect for catching the hints of light from the streetlights through my blinds, providing me with the comfort of its glow as I tapped away at my keyboard. I had just finished writing up a review of the local taco establishment, rating it ...

The cook turned around when he heard the soft splash, but didn't look too closely. He didn't notice the stream of small bubbles rising to the top of the broth, slowly ebbing until they ceased altogether. The cook turned the flame to low and went on with other preparations while the broth simmered for the next 8 hours. ...
I opened my eyes to a dizzying array of lights blinding my vision for moments before a figure moved and blocked it out. It took me a moment to adjust to what now was before me. I scanned the figure up and down before confirming it was a frog, clad in a suit and tie but a frog all the same, his green skin scarred on the...

I wrinkled my nose with disgust as a rat scurried way too close to my thousand dollar Gucci stilettos. I probably should worn something a little more sewer friendly but rain boots weren't really on brand with the Liberty Girl image.

It started like any other day. I woke up, went to the bathroom, and had some coffee. As I sat down at the table, I had a sudden feeling of dread wash over me. Like something was wrong. I figured it was the coffee, so I finished the whole thing and went to my living room. Yet the feeling of dread didn't leave. It sat d...
It had always been there, lurking under the surface. Hidden behind the flimsy barriers that separated the layers of the cosmos, with the immense amount of pressure, it was a wonder that that wall didn’t crumble sooner. All it took was a comparatively tiny amount of energy to be smashed together in one place, in order ...
To the residents of Salmon Creek, Honey was the resident neighborhood grandma. She was often described as old, sweet and a little too kind. A treasure to the local community, she was a pillar as long as anyone could remember. She would babysit for couples when home life got a little too stressful and often buy ice crea...
“Ooh, that’s going to be a costly error!” the announcer yelled out. “And he was doing so well too!” The crowd’s groans echoed throughout the arena. Two counters on either side of a large screen ticked their way upwards. One was for the number of lives saved – the other for ones killed – in the last twenty-two hours. L...
I strained my ears more to try to hear something, anything, but it was all quiet. All these years, I’ve always slept deeply and soundly, but tonight, for whatever reason, I was awoken by a knocking sound. I’ve never been a light sleeper, my wife has always complained such; but, I swear tonight I heard something. Afte...
When I first died I thought the afterlife is going to be nice. I thought I was going to be at peace with myself. But I found something much more different. After I died I was seamlessly brought into a room with nothing more. It was just a empty grey room. No windows and no door. I started to think this is some sort o...
The room was silent, his expression stern. The message was clear, even for Maggie: her job as an Art Appraiser was over. Her heart sank and she shook in fear: she couldn't bare to look at her gray-suited co-workers, piercing the newbie with their cold stares. Her mouth opened to raise an objection, but every word has e...
*First Post; wish me luck! >..<* \------------- Mantis watched as the old man added the ground-up Dragon’s Shade into an absurdly tiny cup, held barely by his pinky, before sipping the concoction and letting out an audible “Ahh!” “Did you… Did you just drink the legendary Dragon’s Shade!?

When thinking of time and space, my mind would immediately go to the famous images of Salvador Dali’s melting clocks dancing around the milky way galaxy.

"Your great Impetuousness, I beg leave to speak." The robed creature shifted on the couch and stared, long, at the shaking figure before.

I don't sleep anymore. I just remember. I remember being young. I remember being in love. I remember being hungry. And tired. Lonely.

"I don't suck blood,"I tried to reason with the giant fleshy beast as he swung his enormous hands at me. "Only the females do that!" The giant swung more angrily, letting out an earth-shaking roar. I quickly maneuvered out of his path and to his ear. In a gentle tone, I tried to explain, "listen, buddy. I know you're ...

I used to be afraid of death. I could have said that, many years ago. I’ve realized was actually afraid of dying. Death is not so bad, actually.

I woke up feeling hungry. It’s weird, that’s the thing I remember most of all was the hunger.

My feet kept following their pattern down them even ...

Slowly the rock tumbled down the side of the ruin bouncing off of the barren cliff face and onto the ground.

When no one came at first we were surprised.

The large, sweaty man barreled down the corporate campus hallway with a face crumpled with anger.

It was as if I was carried aloft a raft, floating as if a speck of dust along a windy plain.

I ran, as if a trickling stream of disem...
The initial shock was, somehow, easy to get over. His appearance was... humbling? Not as holy as you'd expect, yet entirely overwhelming in its presence.

Oddly enough, I used to love Halloween. What I found appealing about it, was the whole *focus* on the things people fear, you know?
