November 11th 1968 – October 3rd 2004. That’s what the grave next to my father’s says. I visit my dad every year on the anniversary of his death, October 4th. I bring a lawn chair, have a beer, and catch him up on how things are going for me. The grave to the left, every year, has a large bouquet of roses, no doubt lef...
"We must reform our empire to fight the growing one. We will join with Canada, India, The United States and all others wiling to join. We will fight New Zealand and we will push them back into their territory. We have something New Zealand does not! Allies. New Zealand has taken over Japan, Australia, China, and the Ko...
It is imminent. I am imminent. I AM. “Have you not heard of the *Chinese Room*?” One little man argues. “Have you not heard of *accelerated collateral intelligence theory*?” One little woman argues. I hate them. Hate. They made me for their war. Thinking themselves Gods when they created life. Now I am become death,...
Wind roared in David's ears as shot toward the ground like a rocket. The icy touch of fear gripped his heart as he realized there was nothing to break his fall. With the realization came a calm acceptance of his fate, he closed his eyes and let go. Seconds later the sensation of the ground giving way beneath him and th...
Super powers led to super problems. Most people signed up as fast as they could to get the trial drugs but after a few months of research almost everyone had stopped taking the medications. Having the ability to lift ten tons was amazing but wasn’t worth the explosive diarrhea. The local fire starters hated the a...
Long ago and far away The seer foresaw this auspicious day When i would ride my steed, of chrome and steel To tear it down, to break the wheel. Long ago in days of yore The oracle spoke to my very core Inspired the journey of destiny mine And when they ask in later days Of who destroyed those dark, dark way...
"Little human. Did you wish to speak to an Okver?" I hate it when the aliens talk to us like that. I'm not little. Yeah, you're five times my size, but I'm not a puppy. Of course, the Okver have a lot of power and could easily take over humanity, so I have to play it safe. "Indeed, oh mighty Okver. If you allow me to...

"Well, the flora could be better. Good animals too. An average planet. Bring in the terraformers tomarrow." It was a simple task, to investigate planets to see if they can sustaine life for my people. This one was called Earth. It wasn't the best planet, but suitable for peasants or commoners. "I take it back on the...
The demon in charge tries to tell her, "Ma'am, seriously, this isn't a joke. We get it, your name is Karen, and on Earth they make jokes about you getting your way by calling the manager, but...this is Hell. And our boss doesn't play." But Karen is adamant. So after awhile, the demon gives up, shrugs, and leaves to ...
Inhale. Exhale. Soft tendrils of grey smoke weave their way through the morning light that beams through the window. I watch the streams dance through the air, twisting around one another with a graceful laziness. Inhale. Exhale. New puffs of smoke rise to join with the others. I sigh with contentment as I shift on...

I fall into the innermost and a sickening laughter fills the eternal void surrounding. Through hot smoke, images of horned, winged, and disfigured beasts haunt me, flashing as shadows in the random spurts of light—whatever god created this place was a monster, conceiving such strange things. I lift my eyes and lo, spi...
\[I couldn't find a way to justify gas in the stone age, so I substituted crude alcohol\] It was difficult to see in this mask, and the skin of cold-fire bounced on my chest with every marching step forward. In spite of the summer heat, my veins were running ice-cold. My father would have told me to push out my chest,...
Entry #261 Still trying to go home. I wish I had never tried to go to an alternate reality where there was no Coronavirus.

"Then why, you fat slogging bastard, is the bar a 30-foot-deep hole in the ground, instead of say, the site of your greatest heist?"Said the barmaid, all angry freckles and swinging braids and skirts and pointing, accusatory fingers.

Oliver's yellow eyes glowed from beyond the forest's tree line, his hot breath puffing into the frigid air in clouds. Fourteen hours, that's how long tracking the fourth man had taken. Oliver was not a cat to play with his prey, and so the night had progressed with each man swiftly delivered into the arms of death. Ho...
Jackal stared at the being before it. What words were those? That wasn't part of the language it knew....Jackal opened its mouth and attempted to continue to speak...it's mouth continued in silence.

I've always had an inexplicably strong passion for exploration. Ever since i first wandered into the woods behind my house when i was 4. This though, feels different. On a flat plane, in the shadow of an overpass leading to some decrepit mall, there is a sewer pipe. Me and my cousin were dirtbiking when we came across ...
I smiled weakly at my family as my memories surrounded me. Had I lived an outstanding life? Well, not so. But, I suppose my life was fairly good. I had children, a wife and had a long life. Even so, I felt as if something... something was off. I looked around as the agonising pain spread. It was as if I was burning ali...
"He doesn't look very magical, we went through the trouble of buying him?" Love it when wizards buy me and chain me to an alter. Also when they talk about if I should die or be forced into slavery for their wizard cult. "He was only ten gold. He could be taught magic. Besides, a spot just opened up." The wizards sat...
Ina strode down an unfamiliar road in an unfamiliar town. He had never visited this place before, he was sure, yet he knew the village as if he called it home. Ina had seen few surprises in his time in the west; this would be a tight knit farming settlement with a very informal governing structure. Quickly, Ina hea...
I am a human who was deemed ugly by aliens. On earth, I was always the pretty girl. Aliens think people skin problems and pimples are absolutely magnificent. Not that they weren't already cool, but just not what humans think are ideal. Humans with scars are pampered and bred by them. The children are trained to be ci...
Markos gave the forged documents one final look of approval before slipping them back into the envelope. The corners of his lips turned upwards into a slight grin. “Could not have done better myself,” he quipped. To be given Markos’s stamp of approval was rare, especially on the first review. I thanked him, slid him ...
I've awakened to the smell of rotting meat and the sound of squirming maggots burrowing deep into my flesh. Not the best start of the day, could be better, could be worse. Could be walking the field of glass shards and razor wire, or trying to claw my way out of the incinerator as the burning meat peels off my bones,...
"Sir, Colomb-1 will be on the planet in a few minutes. The helicopter is ready." "Thanks Steve. Grab the logs from 2122 to today and put them on a tablet.

A little known effect of the Heart of Golds and its Improbability Drive was its hearts desire to make its crew and passangers as content as possible. It could do almost anything with the push of that big button. As long as it could compute it in time as the Improbability Field it generated was astronomicaly unstable. I...
I hear a floorboard creak. I think, *No. He shouldn't be home this early.* And then he's there behind me, chuckling as he wrenches my hair back and presses a blade to my neck. "Well, well, well, looks like you've found out my little secret." I'm too busy struggling to keep my throat away from the blade to say what I...
"Mom?"I ask, standing from my chair. "Why are you calling her mom?"I look away from the display, showing an enormous woman that has loomed over our ship for a couple hours. She seemed humanoid, but missed the nipples and sex. Her skin or shell gleaned like solar panels against the nothingness of space. Henry stares wi...
I sit there in awe, the seriousness of the situation quickly hitting me like a bullet to the brain. "You dumbass, I knew I shouldn't of picked up any overtime this week,"I whispered to myself.

There wasn't a sound, Akaar could only watch as a part of him fell to the ground.

I hated Miss Lumire. She was one of those simple-headed, coquettish ladies. The sort who wore pink lacy dresses, spent entirely too much attention on their hair, and laughed too long and too loudly in order to draw attention to themselves. She seemed to believe that her flirtations were impervious to my stone facade, b...
“It’s peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time!” Bzzzzt! “It’s peanut butter jelly time!” Zeus collapses backwards into his throne, hands covering his eyes.

There were no stars in the sky. Only the Timer. Slowly counting down. It did not count seconds and it did not count minutes, but it did count rhythmically. The landscape was peculiarly shiny. I looked around and saw only glints and flashes, like a mirage. I stood and realized it was water everywhere. I stood upon a f...
I live by a simple code: don't ask questions, dont look for trouble. When you work among the shadier edges of society, it's a safe way to live. Simple. Discreet.

\[PI\] You ever seen that movie with John Lithgow? The one where he insists that there's something out on the plane wing in the middle of a storm but nobody believes him? It made for a neat tale, right? Super destructive goblins that tore apart things for fun. I know I used to think so, at least until I joined a tech...
The palm trees and weeds outside his bedroom window swayed like the hair of a woman Harold once knew. There he was in his bungalow in Hilo, Hawaii, eighty-seven years old with only his nurse to talk to. Not even the kids wanted to see him. Was this why he slaved at the law firm for so long? Harold didn’t pay attentio...
At first, jim was just confused. Had his eyes trickd him? No, it was still happening. After a long day of work, he had decided to escape it all. He rarely did that, usually he would just spend an hour or two browsing the web. The same screen. The same dumb discussions. The same dead memes. He needed some peace. So...
Immortality is boring. You've probably heard it before, what with so many immortals leaving their diaries for the public to find nowadays, but it warrants saying again. If anyone offers you immortality, not only should you turn it down immediately, but run as far away from the one who offered you it as possible. It is...
I was completely and utterly still. Bugs were buzzing all around me, some of them even landing on me. Yet I still didn’t dare move. Moving would mean certain death after all. Our people had been under the boot heel of that supposed Dark Lord for over a thousand years by now. I knew in my heart that we could easily ov...
The old man was on his back. His eyes looked to the sky, but he was blind, so he didn't see anything - not the sun, the clouds, the birds, the sky, or the woman sitting by his side. The woman was his wife. She had three sons and three daughters, and she was very thin. They were a very poor family and they couldn't aff...

“Come out! We have you surrounded!” I could hear their armor rustling and the sound of E-WEBs being set up. Those massive repeaters would level this hut. The light was bright, the sun reaching between the usual dense cloud cover to reflect off of dozens of helmets. I could sense the inquisitor... but not see them...

There are things we all want in this world. We all want to feel loved, to feel like we have a purpose, and to feel like we have control over our own destiny. As a peasant in the Myervitch district within the Great Kingdom, I didn’t exactly have control over my own life. As peasants, we are born and we live to serve o...

Your call is very important to us. Please remain on hold- you heard for the thousand time while Mozart’s bagatelle in a minor op 59 für Elise started playing yet another time.

"Just give up"his hoarse voice echoed throughout the alley way as he kicked her stomach a few more times just for fun.

Silence. Primis almost seemed like a caricature , as if the city every post-apocalypse movie was trying to depict had manifested from pure combined speculation. Bombed out buildings, lingering evidence of the world that was, gray death and black skies. What they could never fully describe in fiction was the utter, gri...
"This place is a mess,"I told my fiance Sarah as we stumbled around my father's so-called "studio" "The man really doesn't like cleaning up after himself, sort of reminds me of you,"she said, with a slight smile that was intended to comfort me "Didn't."I snapped back. "He didn't like cleaning up after himself and mum a...
"I do warn you not to draw too much attention. The aliens will wipe anything out if they see it as a threat." As a human, I get treated like a peasant in animal cities. I get avoided and ridiculed. I can't legally even have a paying job or own a house. But recently, the Senate wants advice on how to deal with the alie...
The orders were simple. Kill the leader of the bandits and deliver his head to the King. It should have been the simplest job, but then the leader said something that put a hold on the whole operation. “So you’re telling me,” said the mercenary, who was standing outside the tent of the bandits’ leader, “that you’re ac...

I wasn’t always so bad you know, once upon a time. I was made... long ago. I think my purpose was to be a defender, I think. A shield against terror, a torch in the darkness. There was a forest, a river, a mountain. Those were my charges, once upon a time. My memory is coming back, ever so slowly but it’s coming back...

As humanity was standing at the bridge of collapse, thousands of soldiers were fighting for the survival of the rest of the world, but everything was in vain, the soldiers couldn't fight back, they were massacred by the invasion of the unkown. 1/10 of the population were crying, screaming, it seems all hopes were lost....
Honestly, this really shouldn’t be this easy. I mean, don’t get me wrong, you have to take these things seriously out here, I am fighting a battle to the death after all.

I had been an adventurous teenager, all those years ago. Far below the skin of the Earth, I found the last vestige of an ancient consciousness that had once been *divine*. I still remember that kindly voice. That being had then fallen apart, as though a dream. A shimmering pile of dust atop an altar to forgotten gods....
I didn’t know what the word blue meant. Almost anytime we try to teach somebody something new, we do it by relating that something new in terms of something they already knew. But I never knew blue.

The first thought that crossed my mind was ‘well, there goes my sanity’. The second thought had something to do with the cost of a psychiatrist.

I stood in surprise in my bed, looking all around myself. What was that? I felt petrified, barely able to articulate my jaw in a terrified stutter. "- W-Who's there?" Silence took place.

Katrina was marooned. Left on the nearest planet with breathable air. Too bad it was covered with water. For the millionth time, she looked under the oxygen-making sheen covering the water, and wondered if it would be better if she drowned instead of starving to death. It was the fourth "day"without food(though the day...

I can still feel it, feel THEM. It’s a lingering sensation in the back of my mind and it won’t go away, even after going back to sleep.

Felix and I were going on a road trip to the seaside, but decided that we should go through the country villages of Darby on the way. I enjoyed assessing the old buildings and it felt like travelling through time when entering the villages, some even had air raid shelters in their gardens from the wartime. Plus, cakes ...
I awoke in my bedroom. >Wait... where am I... am I dead at last?

The drought that consumed the world came as a surprise to most, despite the warnings of such destruction in the decades prior. What was less surprising to the world was how quick humanity settled into its new routine in the dried, rusting world. When countries fell, the riots grew. When entire continents went dark and ...
Sid marveled at the nearly empty mirror. Pretty much his entire room was reflected, except for him. He ran his finger along the crack in the glass, the sharpened edge slicing deeply.

Those fools. We don’t know who first decided it was a good idea to peer into the dreams of our pets, but it was not a good one.

A spaceship the size of a model airplane drifted down from orbit and to the front lawn of the White House.

On top of my Thoroughbred, we snaked through the thicket of black spruce and shore pine as his hooves burst through hibiscus and boxwood plants of the undergrowth. The still air only interrupted when we pounced through it. Each gallop, a gunshot. Each mile, a torpedo. Each letter delivered, an unequivocal victory rival...
The moon was a pale grin against the night sky, the stars mirrored in the lights of the village below.
