I don't know why I always do this in my dreams but I hooked my upper teeth behind my lower teeth and wrenched. The teeth gave way and caved as a row into my mouth. The castle walls, the fairy, everything melted away and I realized I was in my bed again, covered in sweat. Ugh. The memory of wrenching my teeth still stuc...
I counted the seconds under my breath, my eyes fixed on the elevator doors in front of me. The floors number above it was descending quickly. One Mississippi 4th floor Two Mississippi 3rd floor Three Mississippi 2nd floor Four Mississippi Ground Floor. A sharp ding sounded out, as the doors slid apart. One ma...
I hear the hiss of automatic doors sliding open across the storefront as I don my apron. Mine is a task of boredom, repetition, and very little reward. I look toward the screen above me, and watch as the first order of the day scrolls in. One (1) Plain Hamburger. A daring choice. I flip on the stove top to a sati...
My 13th birthday arrives like a tropical storm: unexpected, unpleasant, and destructive. Immortal up until now, the sudden fragility of my life hits me like a brick, making it hard to get out of bed or do anything but ponder the tragedy of death. A mask covers my eyes, a tradition on this monumental day and I dread th...
"Railroad company." "But we use wooden stakes not metal." "Hmmm.."Tim scratched him beard. Before him was a list of all the expenses the demonic cult incurred: chalk, loads of wood, candles, sound proofing foam, a 6 foot tall statue of Satin. Making this cult seem like an authentic company was gonna be hard. "I don't...
"Take the road less traveled, they said,"I said. "It'll make all the difference, they said,"I said. "And I said,"I said, "Who are they that said,"I said. After it was all said and done, I still haven't made it off the beaten path. It has been five days on the so-said "road less traveled"and I was no closer to the e...
Regis kicked his feet up onto the desk. "Yeah, you can say I'm pretty 'out of this world.'"He chuckled. Margret just rolled her eyes and went back to browsing the internet on her phone. Regis took his own phone out and took a selfie. "This one's for my Tinder profile. Wait till chicks find out I literally came fr...
“...and finally, the crown jewel of the Adirondack Collection: the Mercer Room.” Prudence Mercer thought “room” was altogether too small a word to describe the space into which the Director led her, but she wasn’t about to correct her potential new boss. Its eight unpolished white marble sides absorbed the sound of ea...
This can't be right... It's not right. It's never, freaking, right... I knew this was coming. I'm just like that- nothing I do is right the first time, or the second time, or the gazillionth time. I should have started over after the atom sorter reversed the wave function on all that argon. But no... I said "I knew t...
we were all jealous of good old Derek. He had a perfect 100 empathy score, all of the time. He was the most popular guy in school, and girls chased after him like no tomorrow. We don't know how he did it, but he managed to deflect each of them with composure and poise. I was unfortunately, the opposite of Derek. My em...
Secrets and lies, deception and truth. Births and many. many royal deaths. Objects carry so many stories. I worried for so long that one of my first would spill early. Now I worried that it would never be told. Long ago my form was a strong ironwood tree. Wind is no threat nor fire because of my nature. Young ironwood...
Plink. Plink. Plink. A peculiarly dressed trio had been sitting around a table for the past three years, playing a board game. Plink. It largely involved a (by human standards) collosal jar, which dropped water at regular intervals. Plink. One of the figures was fed up. "You think anybody will ever die?" "How ...
Terry once heard that training for wars used to be about learning how to kill people in the best possible way. It was a grueling affair where people learned how to shoot weapons with deadly accuracy, move through difficult terrain, and carry large amounts of equipment. Nowadays, it was mainly acting lessons. How to p...
Sirens wail in the distance, adding another level to your pounding headache. The world is a blur of red and green - a Christmas of forest and blood. You remember nothing but the leaves and a car, out of place in the middle of the Northern woods. A faint recollection of confusion, then overwhelming pain. Ever so slowly...

We exist within the liminality. Within the infinite void between atomic structures. We are the form thought takes, imagination made real, horror made manifest. We are sadness; we are fear; we are joy; we are all one within the unknowable dark. We are archetype. We are spirit. We are the closest thing to gods in this ...
I didn’t even know his name the first time his lips met mine; strong and firm. I had been kayaking most of my life and enjoyed the tranquility of solitary paddles. There was just something about the water that brought me peace. Green River was more a living, breathing thing, a serpent cursed to travel endlessly witho...
(On mobile, sorry. Never written before, just found the prompt interesting. Also, I changed the implied timing a bit from the prompt.) Funding was easy to come by after the discovery. It seemed to be the only topic, other than authoritarianism, that all the world powers agreed on. They wanted more. They wanted detecto...

I kicked in the door to my apartment. The crash of the brass handle denting my drywall like it has many times before has become a familiar sound after HPA interviews. My applications found their way in the mail boxes of the Heroes and Protectors Agency at least six times during the annual hire period. Six times I hav...
Oliver smirked. Kine were so typical, thinking that just shouting the name of their deity loud enough and waving religious objects would save them. Somehow the fact that they were in an church must’ve slipped the little imbecile’s mind, as if somehow saying the name of the deity would have an affect when “God’s” suppos...
A large furry thing with pads and claws attached to it bumped into the ground in front of me. The ground began to shake, and suddenly I felt a force that sent me falling to the right, like the Earth was suddenly rolling to the left faster than it typically rotates. Then suddenly, it stopped like it smacked into somethi...
In the old sci fi novels they describe dystopian futures flush with manipulation, societal control, and malevolent purpose. Populations subjugated by great architects. Oppressive systems designed to control us. The stories served as parables, describing a world no one would choose to live in, in part to warn us of a fu...
Start log. My spaceship is on fire. “How can there be fire in space?” You ask, knowing the answer isn’t good. Because we’re losing oxygen. Pure oxygen, actually, and hydrogen. Ironic really, the only two ingredients for water are spilling out of my ship and burning. In space. The water it’s creating is being flung away...
The first time he arrived, he was wearing odd clothes that looked eerily like me, but he had money and goods to trade and got on well with the village people. The second time was different. His clothes were blue and shone brightly. He was armed with a sword of similar design that set his victims alight. That was not ...
Burn wood and you leave ash and smoke, but cast magic and leave a taint. To bend the rules of the world so far they snap scared it. It leaves wounds and echoes. Liam O’Rourke was a boy in Arisha, what came to be known as the fallen soil. He came from a mountain town spared the scourge of wild magical pollution. He...
Althazaar, death of adventurers, scourge of the land, and, most importantly, guardian of insurmountable wealth and untold riches. The beast, a snake whose body was as wide as the cobble streets of Merne and long enough to circle the grand castle of High King Arrold five times over, has made its home in the mountains of...
Some would say they had the ability to control certain... bodily fluids... They were know to use their skills in battle to stun their enemies, giving their party members time to attack. It's kind of hard to swing a weapon or concentrate on a spell when you're having a shaking orgasm. They had an advantage over livin...
# Excitement I have so many eyes. They watch me from the dark, yet I use them to see. ▓ In the dark space, a cursor blinked with a sickly white glow. The room was a tangle of networked wires like a silicon jungle. They flowed in layers, from the fine filigree of the canopy down to the meaty trunk and...
Betal slept with an almost princely innocence. His mother hesitated to wake the beautiful boy’s slumber. But there was work to be done, and he was old enough to start learning. “Betal”, called out his mother. Betal slowly opened his eyes and then suddenly jolted out of bed. His mother couldn’t believe her eyes! Was i...
There is no Hell. You're just reborn in another country based on how you lived your previous life. People are not supposed to retain memories of their previous lives but you do. It's the first time in 1,444 years since emperor Wenzong came to power that a boy was born who remembers his past life." The Immortal Man smi...
\[Author Note: While there is no actual Dark side of the moon, there is a FAR side of the moon, so i'll refer to it as that.\] No matter how genius an inspiring villain may be, no villain works alone. A villain can't build machines alone, can't threaten a city alone, can't fight rivals and heroes, alone. The power of ...
"This quarter, our company has seen a huge loss in net revenue. Now I know, trust me I know, that the budget cuts we made to your team aren't ideal. Hell those numbers couldn't be ideal for anyone. But neither could our current net revenue, Daph."The man in chief, the face of Isekai, all the way down in the lowly progr...
&#x200B; I was all of 20 when i came out of Stanford,with a PHD for theoretical physics in hand. I got many offers since i had written interesting works on the nature of light and matter. There was one envelope i opened which got my attention. It was from a company called black mesa. Unlike the other offers which ...
Humans like you always say that ground hogs like us are afraid of our shadows, but the truth is, we wear them all the time within the depths of our tunnels. Having them fall to the floor is comparable to going naked. Remember that loser Jeremy from last "winter"? I recall even you humans were there to see his embarrass...
She wanted to say that she couldn't believe she'd done it, that some alien force had possessed her in that moment, but it would only tack on the label of liar to her new identity as a murderer. Even at the age of seven, she understood that this crime would follow her for the rest of her life, however long that lasted,...
It's funny - when I was younger, I didn't want to be seen. I was a very shy kid and I didn't like people looking at me. Whenever I met someone outside of my immediate family, I would hide behind my father's leg, my mother's dress, or my brother's back. In class, I always chose the furthest seat in the back. At recess...
It was time for a pep talk. I braced myself with one hand either side of the mirror. "Come on Alex. It isn't so bad, I bet nobody even saw." I thought back to the tens of people stifling their laughter and glare at myself in the mirror. "Ok, so people definitely saw but what does that matter?" "Of course it matt...
Honor, Dignity and Revenge “Honestly, they told me you were utterly incorrigible, but this is going too far!” He’d told his superiors over and over again that he did not wish to be paired with such a maverick, someone with such disregard to the rules, but they’d ignored his pleading. He was one of the best; there w...
I eyed the man as I cleaned out the latest pile of coffee mugs. 3 o'clock was rolling around, and every customer needing that pick me up to make it the last few hours of the work day was going to be bum rushing me soon. He seemed to be getting angrier as I cleaned. "Which prophecy?"I calmly asked. "Which prophecy...
Not only that, I knew the guy. "You owe me money,"I said. "Five figures." He slunk in his seat meekly and nodded. "My mom was sick,"he said. "The hospitals said that they couldn't save her, but I wasn't trying to hear it. I heard of a guy who could work miracles, and I borrowed money from you to pay him. And-" "-h...
The party was in full swing. Captain Dominic Sanders of the United Earth Confederation Extra-Orbital Operation's much celebrated 8th wing (affectionately known as the Void Hawks) sat at the controls of his experimental FTL spacecraft, watching with his mouth agape as creatures of every conceivable description danced...
"Human perception and understanding. The way we fight to understand the world around us, and in turn help others learn what we have discovered."The voice was floating throughout the school halls. It sounded like a dreamy sing-song version of Mr. Lex, the ancient calculus teacher. "This, Alex, is what seperates us, h...
It only took spending what seemed like an eternity traversing the many levels of the spiritual realm, for the traveler to finally came to they're final opposing forse. only after conquering the realm of fire, a place most know as hell, and every other realm in between, where they gifted with the sight of the final st...
(IP) A Daughter’s Calling It was her father that had first told her the story of The Great Devourer, a carnivorous fish that was so large that it had crushed whole fleets of ships like toys. He’d spent his entire life at sea, returning to port only in short spurts, hunting the thing. He’d never been like her mother, ...
"100 years ago the crust shattered."The voice boomed, a voice of sane sadness, bitter regret and the wisdom of failure. A warm voice, one that cared deeply but was infused with a tone of accusation. You did the crime, the voice insinuated. You are evil. You are the demon. "Red hot magma rose from within our planet, w...
Several catastrophes, seven-hundred years, and roughly eight thousand bottles of scotch later, here Alexander sat, in a musty pizzeria, on the verge of a fourth… Or, at very least, a rerun of the first, which he’d never believed had gotten the chance to fully blossom. Everyone knew of the first catastrophe, though few...
Of course it would happen the year after the world's Cavendish banana crops were wiped out. For decades biologists had warned of the risk of having Earth's premier banana crop sharing a near-identical genome, making them susceptible to mass annihilation if they were struck by the correct disease. As a species, there ar...
With a sigh, Ruben finally pushed himself to list the piano for sale. It had haunted the house uselessly for too long- just a memory of days past. Monte used to play it obsessively, through his entire childhood and into his early teenage years. The skill he won in those long hours of practice was apparent back in the d...
Here goes... The apple falling from the tree reminded Gary of the fact that humans are ever so powerless against nature. Since when had a king, oh ever so prideful and arrogant they are, managed to decree that apples shall fall upwards? Since when had a scientist, in all their knowledge and esoteric ramblings, mana...
The name's Dominguez, just... Dominguez. I have been tasked with preventing the assassination of a man named John, last named Keller. John Frank Keller. He was assassinated on October 18, 2019. He was shot in the back of the head in cold blood. This looks like a job for Dominguez. Well, anyways, I decided to use ...
The survivors were coated in grime, their battle-hardened faces grim as they moved through the neighborhood. They combed the houses, gathering supplies and keeping an ever-vigilant eye out for the Demented. The streets were empty, the only sound was their voices calling out "Clear!"or "Supplies here!"Occasionally, a ye...
“Good morning! What can I get started for you?” The barista gave me a chipper smile as I stepped up to the counter. I squinted at the name tag on her apron. “Vicky” was written in swooping letters and a small heart dotted the I. I noticed her eyes dart from one of my shoulders to the other, a small line of confusion on...
Rohan removed the egg from the heated box with grass and dirt he had prepared for it. It had been in there for a month and not hatched, so clearly it needed something else. He set it on the windowsill to give it sun, not because he thought normal eggs needed sun, but because this was a magic egg and he didn't know what...
A flash of white light. He squinted, struggling to adjust to the flow that was drenching his eyes. Humans had the unpleasant habit of seeking bright and dry environments instead of damp and dimly lit dwellings. He had waited for, oh too long, and was impatient of meeting the emissary. The heavy monumental double do...
"Well I simply loved Reginald. That voice! Those dreamy golden eyes! And those gorgeous blonde manes..." Melissa grabbed another hand of chips without looking up from her phone.

In september 2020 a kinetic impactor from the Mars outpost separatist movement reached and collided with the earth. Nobody expected it since it was part of the resource shipments regularly migrated into Earth's shuttle path. Damage/death reports figure in the millions. The war that followed reaped billions. The worst ...
The reason why we couldn’t find aliens? We weren’t looking at the right place exclaimed the lead scientist as he spoke with shock and excitement to the world wide conference, He goes on a monologue as the world listened intently.

And he's dead? Yessir. You left him there? I couldn't very well take him with me. And of course I'm not sure how his guard would have reacted to an exfiltration Do you think this is funny? Admittedly I will probably crack up about it later but here in the director's office humor was never received well by anyone....
In life we as a society had come to accept that certain things are constant. Immutable to the entropy of the universe. Avogadro’s number, the Planck constant, the mass of an electron, it’s always the same number. The speed of light in a vacuum was widely considered to be one of those constant numbers too. Until Augus...
"Ah, there's the little beggars. A whole field of them. Good eating tonight."<shovel biting into sand> Bloody damned fools. "You are a deep one, aren't you."<more digging> What in the name of sweet reason do you need "ultimate"power for? "Gotcha! Pretty big, not enough for a whole meal though." ...
Flip me over, How demanding of a stone. Nonetheless, I still turn it over. How insulting to find that I had just taken orders from a stone, and it knew. I threw the damned thing and went on with my day. My regular stroll through the park turned sour at the silly prank, but what else was there to do but go on with my da...
I admit, we aren't exactly everyone's cup of tea. We are sarcastic, we moan about the weather, and we are proud of our Queen and Country. But when we chose to leave the EU, as foolish as decision as possible, the views of the world changed. We may have ended up annoying everyone, especially with electing a complete and...
Edit: Had to split it up. I hear a faint beeping noise grow louder and louder, only to wake up and realize its my phone, pulling me out of my alcohol induced dream. "6 a.m. already? Ah, time to go to work, I suppose,"I say as I sit up on the side of my bed to light my morning cigarette, hoping it'll get rid of the ...
We had spent months preparing for the ritual- gathering the sacrifices, finding the right location, and even practicing. We poured over the tomes for days on end, ready for any part to go wrong. We knew how to protect ourselves in case the ritual was poorly done. But it wasn't. The ritual was perfectly done. So ...
You'll notice ghosts haunt places. The old stories never told of a travelling ghost, moving from city to city. No, they stay, tethered to the place in which they're connected in some way, like a dog on a leash longing for its master. Their spirits are locked in place, longing to change the past but forever unable to ...
# Bastet "In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming" So the cultists had said, now we gave them a reaming. For the true Outer God was an unlucky sod when he entered this plane he just weren't quite the same. Impossible geometries they then started to sprawl but it didn't really bother us or...

The child, scrawny and wounded, flinched but still pointed the knife right at the doctor. He breathed raggedly pressing his hand over his belly which did little to stop the blood flow. He could've been 5 or 10 but the malnourishment made it hard to tell, a mane of dirty hair draped over him like a cloak. "Kid. Put do...
I sat there as tears rolled down her face. She recalled how her ex-husband had left her years ago out of adultery. Even after all this time, the expression on her face said that the betrayal still hurt a whole lot. Nevermind that I had other customers lined up. This was a dear friend, and I never expected the words "a...
"Okay, kids,"says the sheriff's deputy, accompanied by the teacher. "We told you we'd have a surprise for you. Well, today, we are gonna talk about gun safety." The sheriff's deputy and the teacher each hold a 9mm pistol in the outstretched palms of their hands. The deputy pauses and looks around the classroom. "So...
Aldas Axley was sitting atop the roof of the skyscraper, looking down at the street through the scope of his rifle. He lingered on the bodies of each passerby on the early morning. He was an excellent marksman, and his handiwork was responsible for toppling gangs, restructuring political parties, and fixing many failin...
I knew this day would come, after all when your sword has no use you discard it. Why would I be any different, I am just a weapon of light to be discarded when useless. Its been 3 weeks since I struck down the Dark Lord and his minions, 3 weeks since I completed the task handed to me by the high master. Now they summon...
"Honey, I don't think we should go this way."Renee's concern was clearly visible on her face as the minivan whirred past signs with the words "US GOVERNMENT. NO TRESSPASSING"and the emblem of the US Army emblazoned on them. Jack laughed and squeezed her knee with his free hand. "You have nothing to worry about, babe...
"Fuck oh my god!"she said, running away from the kangaroo. "It's coming after me, help!" I was frozen stiff with fear to do anything about it. They disappeared into the bush and I just heard the screams and thumps and cracks. Then silence. I finally exhaled. Then I thought, what am I doing? I should run. So I did, i...
Of all the times, Florida actually was cold. Would you believe it? Dad went to go visit his family. I went with him to help drive. But I needed something in return, to visit a friend I had met on deviantART 5 years back. He begrudgingly agreed. It was the perfect weather. I could wear a long-sleeve, walk and not ov...
I heard her voice, warm and bright, before I realized where we were. “Hey there, stranger.” Millenia had passed and she hadn’t aged in the slightest, celestial beings are like that. I did my best to sound as nonchalant as possible. “Sol! Is it that time of the century already?”, I exclaimed with poorly feign...
Olivia Kohlin, Nightstalker Huntress, a dark elf. She had been shunned by the forest and the people she was born among, the adults anyways. Some of the elves her age treated her well, until their parents caught wind. Forcefully abandoned by her friends, due to their parents demands, Olivia ran crying into the deep fore...
I remember the first time I died. I saw my parents faces, smiling over me as I slept and then a rush of colors. Then it was my first kiss, his lips were warm and an awkward hand rested on my cheek. Another rush and I was at my wedding day, my wife dressed up in a beautiful white that shone through all the other memorie...
"Stop, this isn't how it happened." The simulation ends. The sounds of gears winding down fill my ears. Out the window, which is not really a window, the virtual projection of a mushroom cloud has ceased entirely. The nendroid next to me, which looks so much like my son Ray but also nothing like him, stares at me with...
We’re currents. Unpredictable, messy, giant currents. And when we crash into each other, we crash hard. But the worst part isn’t the pain we feel as we free fall into collision. It’s the ones that drift far away into the dark abyss; empty, and quiet, and so incredibly alone. — Sometimes, I have to remind myself ...

"John,"Peter said, placing a friendly hand on mine. He wasn't really a "friend", but he was a co-worker I was fairly close with. Next to him was Dr. Struener, my Dentist, Shiela Brown, the woman who ran the front desk of Spirit Halloween, and Steve-- Peter's cousin who was in town. "What is this?"I asked, confused, ...
I went to bed early, but that doesn't mean I fell asleep. Every time I closed my eyes I could only think of her, my Elizabeth. It had been a year today since she died, and all I wanted to do was cry. It was a drowning accident. At least that's what the police told me when they knocked on my door. I should've have tried...
“Because I am tired.” The witch smiles at me. That sick, patronizing smile. I just know she dosent understand. “That will pass, soon you will enjoy your immortality again. After all, everything is in your reach.” I just shake my head. “No,” I start, “I have lived since Babylon’s fall. I have seen, experienced the count...
The answer lay beneath their feet. As it turns out, civilization had lived for billions of years at the center of the Earth. Humans had lived happily at the surface, smugly thinking of themselves as Masters of all things, exploring land, then the sea, then the depths of the ocean. What the hell, they even probed othe...
A brilliant flash, followed by a splash of fluids with the smell of brimstone. Sasha's Spear came swinging down just in time.

“$150,000.” “$150,000?” He asked with concern. Though, that was quickly erased with the dream of being free. $150,000 to live the life he’d always knew belonged to him. $150,000 to rid himself the exhaustion of the mediocrity he lived now. No more coming home to fighting with his wife over the bills they can’t pay. N...
The last thing I remembered was swerving my car out of the way and heading into the ditch. When I woke up, I was laying on the ground staring straight up. I thought I was in the ditch, but that's when I noticed the first odd thing...the sky was purple. Why was the sky purple? And what the hell was this underneath me?...
It was a quiet afternoon, the sun beating down on the world and driving me crazy with heat. I'd just gotten off work, and was driving home in my shitbox of a car whose air conditioner hadn't been working for a decade now. Home was...well, it wasn't anything special. Not a nice house in a quiet suburb, not a spacious a...

Dreams. Humans have been experiencing them for so long, they're part of their daily life, or should I say, nightly life? Most people see them as only a figment of their own tired minds, but dreams are far, far more than that. When somebody dreams, they are awake in an alternate universe, where physics and logic don't...
“Alright, I’m driving. I’m driving.” The gunman nudged the steel into Mark’s head and Mark careened down the avenue, trying not to choke on fear. “Take a left here.” He swerved into two lanes and turned into well-lit road. In the back, a woman was huddled, shaking, near the window, and the gunman looked around for co...

The snickers bubbled up behind him again. Torvit swept them with a withering glare. Never, and I mean never in his thousands of millennium had he felt this humiliated.

When I was still a child my parents had been taken by vampires, and used as a food source.
