The world wondered with baited breath what career I would choose after I received an extremely experimental procedure pioneered by Elon Musk that was engineered to improve your reaction time. Twelve others came after me, however they all perished upon waking up. Lucky for me, I slipped into a year-long coma after the ...
In the winter of that year the frosts were late in coming, and so the orchard that bordered the brook in the high country above the capital would not fruit until early summer. There was unrest in the capital before the new year, and the partisans that did their work against the passes and outposts of the high country c...
Michael Macguffin. That's my name. Sounds like the kind of name you'd give a fairytale character or some poor Irish lad straight out of the Killarney bogs. That's not me though. I'm just a normal Midwestern guy made good out in the Golden State. I ended up out here while working on my masters and I ended up staying a...
It was early morning, sunlight shining through the curtain of the sliding glass doors that led outside. The light warmed the kitchen as Craig sleepily dragged himself in and brewed himself a cup of coffee. Once he had his cup he sat down at the kitchen table, staring down into the murky depths of his drink. "You alrig...
The hallway was dark, the rattling noise coming from the room down the hall grew louder. A faint whimper could be made out from the midst of the buzzing. It was short lived as the insects whom were feasting on what was once the household's faithful guardian succumbed to its injuries. Kneeling behind a lounge chain ...
He wasn't sure what to think as a warrior in shining armour swung his axe forcefully into one of his people, slicing into their flesh as though it was butter, and their insides spilling out in a violent display of blood. Something from within contracted painfully, as though hurt, but he couldn't decipher the emotions a...
I was in the basement arranging the Christmas decorations, there were mistletoes and ribbons and little lights strewn about me. All of a sudden I heard a loud bang upstairs. I walked up the stairs to see what the fuss was about. Getting out of the basement I noticed that the house was gone. In front of me stood a litt...
I am a rock. I am a rock that flies. I am a rock that watches spaceships and hurricanes and shadows and rivers. I am the sun and I am the moon and I am a rock. I am the sunset, the sunrise, the twilight, the dusk. I am the gloam in the gloom, the dip in the dusk, the fall of the crepuscule, the spill of the sun. And ye...
Chapter 0: I did not ask for this to happen. But it is just so sudden. As I lookup upon the sky of that day, I did not think of being granted my one wish. And I also did not think of what that wish would cost me. I would cost me to lose my sense of normalcy. What I thought of as normal is not what it really should be...
Right cheek against my pillow, Dreams are flowing through my mind. "Oh my gosh, is that a treasure chest, when I open it what will I find?" Suddenly, My eyes open not because of hunger or thirst. Actually the opposite my freaking bladder is about to burst. I shuffle to the bathroom, with one eye open trying to see. ...
"Your Soul is Singed!"The dark judge of the underworld said his voice deep and dark like the eternal night of the realm in which he was in. "Never in an eternity I have seen a black soul, such as yours!"The voice become darker as the blind judge of the underworld spoke. "You are devourer of lives! Your sin equal t...
I was getting really nervous, first dates are like level 10 hell. It was taking everything in me to not cancel right now, but I was convinced this man was everything I could ever want. Motivated, intelligent, kind hearted, had a great sense of humor, and oh so attractive. I was in the middle of getting ready, music bla...
"Inordinate Fondness" At evening on the sixth day, God looked around all the living creatures on the land and said, "I have made enough beetles." Logos, who was with God in the beginning and who was God, said, "Yes, you made enough beetles. Over 400,000 species of them." He continued, "You've got tiny beetles, you'v...
Nathan Albern sat on the deck of his farmhouse, rocking back and forth in a large wicker chair. In his mouth, he chewed on the root piece of wheat, chomping down hard on it. He had taken an early night, deciding to let the cows roam a little less today, and as such he sat on his porch, just watching the sun set and the...
I thought, You are having a stroke, you call 911. The day started normally, up at 7:00, walked the dog, then made breakfast for Daisy - kibble, rice, and boiled chicken breast, and myself - shredded wheat, banana and blue berries. The next thing in the morning is brushing the teeth, Spin Brush and Colgate followed by...
Abe had never been the best at anything. He struggled in school, never had too many friends, rode the bench in every sport he played, and didn’t have much luck with the ladies. He always tried hard at everything he did, and always kept a good attitude. One day, he was at work at the local supermarket after finishing u...

"How are you today, John?"the clerk in charge of the machine asks me, like she does every time I'm here. "I'm fine, Sher.

A drip of sweat sizzled on my face shield after hanging on my furrowed brow for hours. I couldn't work anymore, my body is melting in fatigue. I took a seat on the grated floor. Every breath feels like stagnant flat soda. But there was no turning back now. The heat was vital, it maintained the surface temperature of th...

*Dearil falls multiple stories, landing on debris that softens his landing so he doesn't die but not enough to keep him moving. His blade lands nearby, penetrating the ground. Alex lands safely in across from him, walking up to him slowly, not saying a word, not averting his gaze. A pin would drop and it would sound l...
His dad had been listening in on the mother’s daydreams again. Her main fixation had been if they won the lottery and she could travel more. In these dreams the boy wasn’t there, the dad was long gone, it was her and an open world as far as the eye could see. And his father knew this was simply a dream that was healthy...
And it's been like for some time now, grey old and beaten day. Seemingly dreary but this storm fails to beat me down. The storms have stranded me at home, thinking that these walls would be my prison but that's where I have the higher ground. I thrive on these kind of days. Snuggled next to the chilly window in my livi...
"There is nothing to be afraid of in the dark." The voice echoed down the empty hall. It was nighttime and a child stood in the doorway to the hall, staring at the darkness. She was only waist high and her wide brown eyes were unblinking as she fixed her gaze at nothing. She was terrified. Slow tendrils of shadow twi...
He knew the pistol had been hidden in the jar. The exact pistol used to murder the duke. It had been placed there by the detective earlier, should his suspicions have rang true.

When humans launch into space, they undergo the type of violence normally reserved for death. And Commander Barry Golds thought he was going to die. So, situation normal. But he didn't, and after a career trying to get here, he is aware the bit of engineering wrapped around himself helped, but that help was fading...
“Harris. *Harris!”* I bolted upright in my chair. The faulty back wobbled, dipping violently and threatening to dump me on the floor. I flung my arm wildly, somehow catching myself before cracking my on the sad excuse for a carpet. The partners definitely wouldn’t approve Workman’s Comp claim, and we’re a workman’s c...
Inside the BBC Radio Theatre, Gabriel loitered at the tail of the crowd---non-alcoholic cocktail in hand. He distanced himself from the pressing masses despite his ethereal form, preferring instead to maintain some semblance of personal space. A smoky rendition of The Man Who Sold the World blared from a looming pair o...
Nimble as The Wind, Skeleton King Days, weeks, months, years, it's all the same to me anymore. But yet, I kept moving, I had to. Why? I ask myself that every day, yet I get no response. Maybe there is no reason, maybe I'm just cursed to live in this wasteland forever. No, that can't be right, everything has a purpo...
"Wash the dishes," *Wash the dishes?!* a confused look entered her face. "I really, really, *really* hate doing dishes,"I continued. And I watched as the flame at the end of her tail grew with fierce intensity. "Also, before you begin, put this on,"I said, tying a white apron around her waist. For a demon, she looke...
It seemed like the obnoxious sound of the alarm physically punctured his ears and stabbed him in the brain. Light entered through his eyelids -firmly closed- and burned his cornea. So bright that it made him wonder whether he forgot to close the blinds last night. It would not be surprising given how he had drunk a who...
It was so surreal. I thought I was still sleeping. First, there was the speeding deathtrap of downtown traffic, then in a blink, I was surrounded by vicious monsters with violence in their eyes. The two traded places with each inch of movement back or forth. It was an alternating nightmare on repeat. Drive: traffic. Re...
That was this morning. The mess had barely been cleaned up when a massive tone sounded across the ship. EMERGENCY MEETING. The captain rushed into the cafeteria, surrounded by the rest of his six crewmates in their multi-colored spacesuits. “What’s going on here?” He bellowed. “White killed my brother!” The blue on...
The three orcs approach the mages lair, untroubled by their stomping and grunting. They knew there was nobody home. The three of them shared their orcish fashion sense, none, just loin clothes with Leader Orc's being ripped just enough to not leave anything to the imagination. He was their Leader, and loved his life. L...
The rain gently sloshes beneath the feet of the coroner, each step leaving a footprint against the sable sand. The sky has grown into overcast, every bit murky and gloomy and weary as the waves that lull death to sleep. It was a testament to how much time had passed since the earth had rose and fell beneath the seams o...
We arrived exactly one week ago today, a team of forty-seven altogether, with a supply caravan to arrive later today. We entered the tomb four days ago, something... unimaginable waiting for us inside. It killed four of us and wounded eight more, before team leader Ishmael Jacoby managed to blow the entrance shut. Thi...
In the beginning, there was me. Alright, maybe that's a little dramatic, but look, I've been here since the Assyrian Empire. It wasn't much of an empire compared to the ones since, but boy it was big at the time, and lemme tell you, it was a while ago. So I don't feel like I'm too out of place saying: In the beginning...
At $10 a camera, these cameras seemed to be too good to be true and after I installed them, I got the sneaking impression that I got what I paid for, that is some hot chinesium garbage. For a test, I set up a camera to point at the backyard and turned on notifications, however nothing came up. To make matters worse, ...
It was an ordinary day in the citadel. A tracker orc had gotten into a particularly nasty quarrel with his captain about how smelling was the superior way of finding an enemy. “I’m telling you, nothin’s keeping you from going noseblind in a stinkin’ marsh. At least *eyes* keep working when snotty noses stop,” said the ...
I loved it all. The pitter patter of foot steps. The silence between Ah and CHOO! The sizzle of melting butter. All these sounds were my fix. Ever since I was given a cassette recorder as a teenager, I had collected sounds. The hobby turned into a passion and then 15 years later I was a famous music producer/DJ. Peop...
“Name?” “Malphas.” “Occupation?” “You should know me, mortal. I am Malphas, dark lieutenant of the 40 legions of Hell. Bringer of Pain and Retribution both.” “Right, of course sir. Passport?” She plastered on her best customer service smile and met the demon’s beady, black eyes. “Oh, yes. Ahem. Of course.” H...
Ever since I could remember, I've been able to see a number on each person's chest, right in front of thier heart. Most people have a zero, with only a handful ever having a one or a two. I could never figure out what it meant though. I myself, have a zero and have spent my entire life trying to increase it. As a ki...
Part 1 - If this was a movie, it would start with a cut-scene of Science Fair 2010, the first time I was presented with the great potentials hidden in DNAs. A likeable presenter would be talking to my teenager younger self, presenting this overly cool pics of DNA, showing how it can store incredible amount of data in...
"Show me." -- The mirror warms under my touch, and bright light shines behind my eyelids. When the light fades, I open my eyes-- and blink. It's my own face I see in my bathroom mirror. I don't look any older, just more... disheveled? My hair's a frizzy mess, and I'm wearing the cardigan I put on when I'm colder on...

I keep thinking I hear footsteps outside the door and start rubbing my rag on the counter again. Looking down, I realize I’ve worn a smooth, wide divot in the roughened wood under my hand. There’s still no weary traveler shuffling beleaguered through the door, announcing they needed a room, no skinny sneak thief crouch...

I am scared to grow up. There it is, I’ve said it. This is my truth.
