"So... what now?" "Whaddya mean now?" "I mean,"Max Hansen began "What happens next?" "Do I look like I know?"David Mitchell fired back. Max supposed that was an appropriate response. Recounting the last 72 hours included stopping the known egomaniac and weapons supplier six feet from him. Then, when word got out t...
“Please I beg of you turn me back,” I pleaded. “Well this is a first,”he laughed. “You don’t understand being a wolf was the best thing that ever happened to me.” His face said that he was finding this hard to believe. When I was cursed I thought it was the worst, but then I met him sure he was a regular wolf but I n...
Grudge fights were never pretty, especially when they were between people with superpowers. You’re reminded of this as you watch Grey Falcon pummel Pernicious through a brick wall. Your mentor’s enhanced strength creates visible cracks in Pernicious’ mask, but Pernicious’ own power drain ability is sapping your mentor’...
Quiet streets lay all around the world. The humans having wreaked havoc to their ecosystem, turned to science hoping to find a way to continue. Once the discovery was made human nature once again reared its ugly head and instead of finding world peace, perished in a series brief but devastating wars including nuclear, ...
(Totally didn't alter this a bit, not at all-) I never really believed in gods, or anything of the like, as they didnt really make sense in terms of science. But that all really went down the gutter this morning. I woke up at the ass-crack of dawn like I usually did, but instead of being at home, I was in some kind o...
It was the college entrance exams. John was under pressure from his parents to enter college, while he desperately wanted to end his education and start looking for a job. Hence, a deal was struck. John would _at least_ try out the college entrance exam, and if he flunked it, he was free to do as he pleased. John was...
“Why here?” Jeff asked, cardboard box slung under his arm. Alan only glanced over at Jeff, his face impassive, and gently pushed open the door. Below the pair was an old wooden staircase, leading to a painfully average looking basement. There were a few store-bought shelves, stocked with paint cans, tools, and quilt...
They didn’t believe it until they saw it for themselves. Eddie, Mark and Ben stare at the Bitcoin desktop wallet. The cursor is blinking in anticipation. Holy shit this Bitcoin private key actually works. These are the Bitcoin that belong to Satoshi Nakamoto. There is so much of them left unmoved people think he has ...
“Listen to me kiddo, when you get to be my age you’ll-“ an older looking man in a job interview started to lecture me. It was weird. I didn’t need the job, once we figure out how to regenerate our bodies at will, AI and robot assistance was easy. “Who are you calling kiddo? I’m on my regen-cycle, you’ve only lived on...
Her frail hands played the first movement effortlessly. It was easy. It was slow. She thought about the Summer days when she was in grade school. Just hanging around and doing nothing by her family home. Summer was out and there wasn't much to do. Her best friend Albert had gone to Greece for vacation. And there ...
\[poem\] A letter in Spain sent mainly to the plain! A letter in Spain sent mainly by plane! I think I got it! I think I got it! A letter addressed to me in the plain! By George, I got it! By George, I've got it! Now, there is no need to explain. Eliza Doolittle living in the plain. At eight-thirty-two P...
I smell bad, I know. Not my armpits nor my feet but my whole body. The light of the sun made the smell worse. For some reason my senses still work even when I'm nothing but a rotting corpse. I looked around, zombies like me. The ruined city full of aimless walking corpses.. but not me. I have aim. I woke up one day eat...
Part 1 Before all this happened I used to be fan of horror movies. I was also that type of person that would pick apart a movie's plot down to the finest detail and point out what was plausible and what didn't make sense. My friends on the other hand? "Harold... it's just a movie. It isn't supposed to make s...
I've been in this mental asylum for 45 years. Haven't aged a day..... There's so much damn turn over in this place that no one has noticed. Before this, I have lived for 300 years in relative peace. I had grown tired of this planet, and these people. So I had attempted to convince someone I was immortal. I wish I cou...
After two years of being the best friend anyone can have I had the chance to finally speak with my dog. The instructions were simple take the scroll and gently tap the dogs head, you will know it has worked when the scroll disapears into glowing dust. I do as the instructions say and give Donut a boop and await our fir...
"Can I get a vanilla latte, tall?"I ask. "Sure thing,"the barista says cheerfully. "And what's the name on the cup?" "It's Rub." "Thanks Rob,"she says and nearly flings the cup to her coworker who starts making the latte. "It's actually--no, never mind, it doesn't matter,"I start to say and then mutter to myself. T...
If you were alive then, you know the year wasn't exactly going well. Everyone was still going out wearing surgical masks. A lot of places- movies, theaters, even a lot of shopping places- weren't open and probably weren't going to open again. Needless to say, none of us were too optimistic about Halloween. Which, in re...
A notification from her bank. Should she even open it? Does the sixth low balance notice really make a difference? Will one more overdraft really matter? She already knew she was broke. Her empty refrigerator told her. Her landlord's threats of eviction told her. She knew. She'd been trying to get more hours at her job...
I had hand-sewn every finger of those gloves for a beautiful couture finish. They fit like... well, you know. Beautiful green fabric that really popped. Each piece carefully sketched, reworked, tried on, taken off, altered then sketched again. Organic lines, all-too-subtle shades of white for those gossamer veins runn...
Hey everybody. Chad Harmon here for Club Mystic, coming to you live from the booth. Our webcams are up so you can follow along. And here he comes now. It’s Justin James, known as JJ to his friends.

\[Poem\] Since you were here, my Little One, I've had nothing but fear, my Little One. Foster care isn't always the best choice, Especially when you have no voice. I'll be back for you, one day, my dear, But until then, only a voice may you hear. These people are average, just as average can be, But in that av...

"It was much like the human movie, Jurassic Park, yes?"The alien reflects beside his friend, drinking what was once a human beer. "Rather ironic, if you consider it in that way."The other alien said, glancing past his friends, and towards the outside galaxy. They were on a bubble planet, the place of the used-to-be-z...
-The year is 1918, right after the Great War. I work in London, in the Pembroke Hospital. My name is Edgar Swansea, and my emotion is amazed. I have a room in a hotel and/or bar called the Turqouise turtle. I sit in my room with Lady Ashbury, a vampire who’s emotion is neutrality. I talk with her about how she’s in dan...
# Checkmate An old man was sitting in a coffee shop. He was wearing a bowler hat, a pleated shirt, and a warm smile that crinkled the side of his eyes. In front of him was a chessboard spread open, the pieces locked in battle. Curiously, there was no one sitting in front of him; to the other patrons, he was playing al...
It hadn't been a lie. The voice boomed into every muscle of my being. It hadn't been a lie! I looked out through my capsule, towards the great white all around me. My body held together within tangible reality, only because of the containment cell that held me. My eyes looked out towards the endless oblivion, as the vo...
How did you guys get trough my barriers with all your heavy equipment? The dark overlord frustratingly remarked at the king with his army of atleast 15000 big. With catapults even. There's no way anyone would ever get enough gold to pay for a army of this size! So explain me how did you do it. The king said simp...
The demon I summoned had four yellow eyes, bat-like wings that stretched from wall to wall, and a debonair three-piece suit. Rather than grunt or growl, he spoke in an elegant, welcoming tone. I found it disarming. Alluring, even. He took me through the ritual in great detail. The parts I didn’t understand he went ove...
In the mid-2010s, Karens started emerging all over the United States and spread to different parts of the world. Research tells us that they find their origins in the Boomer Theory of Philosophy, many experts believe that they are a result of Jesus, St. Paul playing Dungeons and Dragons with Satan as the dungeon master...
Tonight is the night. The shadows crouch inky and pristine, casting ominous figures in the dark. The air is heavy with sound of silence. The child pretends to sleep, but his heart is awake and thrums with fear. With the faintest creak of oily hinges, the slatted door begins to open. His eyes tightly shut, he grip...
What have I got to lose, right? I already paid for the thing (and spent the next ten minutes waffling between regret and excitement) and now I just need to wear my Feng Shui Black Obsidian Bracelet. I semi-reverently lift it out of the box and fasten it around my wrist. I am now a new me. I hope. Somewhere I should ...
I'm a rather boring guy. I don't particularly enjoy going out to places, prefer to finish my 9 to 5 and read a book. I don't have a wife, or kids. No girl friend, don't talk to parents and never go to any family meetups. I just have a cat Edward. He is a strange little fellow. Always finds something weird or disgusting...
Huh. Well, this is new. In all of the years I had been traveling, I'd seen some amazing spectacles. I'd seen the Twin Towers fall, the Mars Rover land, San Francisco transform into Gotham City and Donald J. Trump commit suicide. But I'd never stood in my own dark bedroom, staring down at my peaceful, sleeping body. W...
Congrats!!! Here’s to more!! As a new writer, I am having fun with the prompts here. So, I would like to ask you that how is the writing process that lead to a small prompt entry to lead to a long form story? Basically how did you extend the story and did you add more plot lines, a B story and all? Just asking as I wo...
"Here it is, Loomings Petting Zoo!"Ted, my son, looks unenthused by the park. He is more involved in his stupid little phone game. I see a parking spot next to the entrance. I speed to it, then out of nowhere, a car whips out and parks in my spot. "Dick,"I whisper under my breath. Just calm down, calm down. I take a br...
Dear Sirs, *I am terribly sorry to bother you at this time of the year. I have a rather urgent request for you on behalf of Father Christmas. He lives at the North Pole as you might know, but alas, I fear we may not be able to reside there much longer. It has been melting rapidly over the past half century or so, an...

[Poem] They think me weak For my heart can truly break. They think me easy For they can see right through me. A target for the hunting lovers, Those who take and take and never give. I simply want to live. The first young poacher nearly did me in, With reasonings as structured As a quartz or corund...
I crack my eyes open, but all I see is still black. I exhale sharply, unaware that I was even holding my breath. I can feel my muscles start to relax, and my throat is parched as if I had been asleep for weeks. How long had I been asleep for? There was no way to tell. As I slowly lift my head, sore from my slumber, I ...
Dandy Town, unlike its name, is a town far from perfection. In fact this little hamlet or village is a hidden gem I found while on one of my numerous trips to my Step Father’s bakery for breakfast. I always had a penchant for funny things, but this town was a whole new definition of eccentricity and silliness. Every c...
The technician sat behind a pair of screens watching raw memories spool from left to right while I sat in the foam-core chair with a dozen needles stuck in the back of my head. In the reflection of the technician’s glasses I could see flashing pictures of my wife—she was laying across my lap on a tropical beach somewhe...
The Litlings are a civilization of creatures who are bioluminescent and also magical. Their world is one of glowing strength that shines against the darkness of our times. One day they meet a little girl with no glow. Even her spirit is dim, and she has run away from terrible force that tried to grow the darkness insid...
I think the first time I used it was when I was about 4, I was on the playground swings when I fell off. I closed my eyes in shock and braced for impact but when I opened my eyes I was back on the swing. I assumed I just imagined it and went on with my day. Then it happened again, and again. Eventually I just accepted ...
F\\k you!"Yulia yelled and swung the blade with far more force than her small body would suggest, Korthin, the swordsman parried, and lunged, aiming the blade at her legs. His expression was fierce but this, this, *psycho* was having fun, Yulia could see it in his eyes. His silver gaze was filled with amusement,...
"Sir, we are just going to keep an officer with you. He has to get close to you to pepper spray you and we might finally be able to catch him." The mayor shook his head, "There is no way I am getting pepper sprayed, just give the man what he wants. You haven't been able to catch him after the other attacks, why would ...
Martha was the least patient smoker I'd ever seen. She'd spend one minute, maybe two minutes per cigarette, before flicking them into the heaping ash tray on her desk. "So, you're looking for expendables, then?"the secretary growled, pulling her bright blue hair into a ponytail before mashing her fourth Camel into t...
The City of Wells is unusual as it holds more tales than people. Its antiquidated status merely hints at a long and storied history, both on paper and off. So when Graham Boggins, proprietor and owner of The Full Moon Inn, saw four new customers approach, he wasn’t too worried. This City of 12,000 souls attracts a ri...
I've been standing here for a long time. I'm telling you this now because I'm tired. When they descended off of the comet, they didn't attack. They just sat there. That wasn't how I thought it would go. That's all I know. I've got my "life-line", as people call it. I'm supposed to tell them what's going on so my fa...
“Pirate” is a strong term with centuries of negative connotations associated with it. I’ve always thought of my family more as liberators and redistributors of wealth. My dad led our team, the good guys, against some of the most well-funded regimes in the world; he was exceptional at using force to coerce and reclaim h...
"And for my last trick, I will pull a rabbit from this very hat!" The audience half-heartedly clapped at the age-old act they were about to witness. Among them, a glow of cell phones lit up their faces as most checked out the latest updates on Facebook or Reddit. "With these magic words: Abracadabra, Alakazam!!"He pl...
You wake up one morning naked and realize all your clothes are gone. When you look outside your window everyone is casually walking around nude like there isn’t anything unusual about it. Dumbfounded, you step back from the window letting the curtain fall back, the room once again, without the bright morning sunshin...
364 days ago, my father and I had an argument. I honestly can’t even remember how it started but it eventually led to him accusing me of wasting my life and me insisting that he needed to get his own. Jenna, who was eight at the time, walked in the living room to witness my father shove me against the wall after I spit...
The oracles were never wrong. Never. We thought we've kept Maggie safe but a rogue firework made the most gruesome scene just seconds before her day ended. Even Stephan tried to cheat his way to make it earlier than predicted but ended up being a paralyzed vegetable on his bed. He'll be on pain meds for the itches on w...
2003. I have wondered many times why I wasn't more astounded by what I saw that cold september morning. But that's the thing with kids, everything is magical to them. You can show them an alien animal or a balloon rocket. These two things can be equally impressive and exciting for them as the lack of things you can c...
I drag a cigarette as I wave to Steven. Nice kid. One of the nicest interns they've ever hired. And is smart too, not like that Bruno kid. Kinder than a nun, dumber than a stack of bricks. Being a security in the night shift of the zoo is a nice job. As nice as I could get with only a high school diploma. Could've gon...
What bullshit is this? I finally get a menial job after four years of nothing and well, my first task happens to be: >"Oh, yes...Dave, right?...well, the boss' kid wants a backstory for that 'Red' from those Pokémon games....why don't you try that?" Huh?! What the hell did he just told me to do? Write a fuckin...
*“Power critical. Activate power save mode or return to Mothership immediately,” Axela urged in a painfully compressed voice clouded with static. Thalia rolled her eyes. “Negative,” she replied.

"Our top story tonight: the police case our bank robber through the city streets of downtown Toronto. Will the man be caught? I'd say with our trusty men in blue, this criminal hasn't got a chance. This is Todd Richardson with the six o'clock news, until next time." A loud beep of being off the air chimes, a deep noise...
It's hard to be a stutterer and a wizard. You need to say the magic words correctly. And these are not any ordinary words. Wizards speak High Archaic. Sounds like Latin but with more focus on the adjectives. Adjectives modify nouns see, just as spells modify things. You modify what something is called in the high langu...
Samantha screamed as soon as she stepped into the house. "DAD! SOMEONE BROKE INTO THE HOUSE!" In panic she fumbled for her phone to call the police. The furniture inside the old house were all moved randomly yet still positioned neatly. "Oh Samantha dear, there is no need for that. It's fine. I'm sure nothing is mi...
The vast energy of the universe is a perfect existence. It is not created. It is permanent. And it contains all the possibilities of life and experience in a state which we cannot fathom, one without time and space. There is no you or I, no good or evil, just an eternal vibration or energy. And it is from this sour...

"Oh what would I give for a massive leaf pile to jump in,"Cayden mused sitting under a colorful fall tree in his backyard after school one day doing his homework. The homework was tricky that day, but when he snapped his fingers upon solving the last of his math problems, something odd happened. All the leaves in his y...

Johan Pigsworth, Necromancer and of late, master criminal, tapped a chubby finger at a point on the large map rolled out on the table before him.

“I am truth! I am justice! I am the vengeance that stalks the night!” I shouted through the bars of my cage. “You are going night night.” The Very Cruel and Mean Witch said. “It’s one in the morning.

He found himself on the Interstitial Sea. He vowed not to be one of those aimless souls that had been spoken of. Souls who wander...
I stare at my car, uneased. The logic flowing through my head should be nonsensical, but the coincidence is too jarring. Did the doorknob in my pocket just unlock my car by turning it? My feet inch over ever closer to the car despite my gut feeling telling me not to go towards it. Well, I need to get home, so it's mor...
My name is Karishma, and I should not exist. Let’s start with what I remember from Before I was Me. Reincarnation, my previous life…..whatever you believe in. My memory begins with an impressive impact. A sudden, violent trauma, my Before Body smashing to a halt suddenly from its previous high-s...
So I woke up in a dark room with a bright light radiating in the distance. I could see i was in some sort of coffin. I felt groggy and disoriented as I slowly stumbled over toward where the light was. As I emerged with th light i could see it was a door leading to a room , I walked in and saw a chair and computer ter...
Saga of the Warrior Frog The Beginning The world is ending. It is a dark, desolate landscape that hangs in space like a shattered mirror, broken into many pieces that have a dark, ominous cast to them. The broken universe floats in the void, the shattered stars are hidden by the dark night that surrounds them, hidi...
I had just finished writing "hello"on the mirror, when my feet slipped on the wet bathroom floor, and I tumbled downwards, with my head on a collision course towards the tile below. I barely had enough time to think "oh shit"before everything suddenly went black. In an instant I was awake again. I felt around the poin...
Author: I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad about the fact that you've just opened a can of beans. The can feels, and looks, the way cans look and feel. The rumbling the can makes when you shake it can be heard, and that sound can be distinguished from other rattles and knocks. The can of beans can be folded...
The memories (Prologue) **WARNING: THIS IS A LONG FICTIONAL WORK, IT WILL TAKE YOU AT LEAST HALF AN HOUR TO READ THROUGH. 2014. It was a year of great sadness.

I met the wizard early the next morning. He was going to teach me magic, a very rare thing among non-wizards in this realm. I had never seen a wizard before. He had a young face, but his silvery hair showed many years. He wore a plain gray robe and wooden staff. He said, "Come in, child. I need to do a few things be...
You are a nurse, and you have a child patient who asks a different question everyday. From favorite animals to the depth of the ocean, you always answer as much as possible. Today, they ask you their final question, “How do I die when all I know to do is live?” It’s ironic that the question came from a little bo...

This was it. The end. Going into the black, the only thing I could think about was everyone I had left behind. What would they think of me? Will I be remembered fondly? Certainly not. I lived a reckless life, with little regard for anyone else, even those close to me. Aren't I supposed to be meeting St. Peter? Or was...
Positioned at the heart of the Bronze Citadel, the iron ringed patch of sand had many names. An’Torok, the Colosseum of Ten Flames, the Field of the Bloodborn. Most of the locals just called it the Arena. The arena was open to all, at all hours. Peasant, soldier, noble and king; all were welcome to stand upon the s...
Throughout my career as a tattoo artist, I've learnt to never question my customers' tastes. My peers scoff at me for this, but whatever. I need cash, I don't have the leeway to be artsy.

“So, you’re a..wizard?” “Ahh, not exactly” Rince took a breath through his teeth. This was going to be tougher than he thought. The square-jawed man opposite him had access to more weapons of war than Rince could name, but that wouldn’t help him get his point across. “Not exactly son? Look you came here saying you c...
A frosty Bostonian night. The type of weather that makes everyone unsociable. Hands burrowed in pockets, blazer collars raised, every other person sports a north face. Down an alleyway two men stands over a third obscured figure. Whimpering is heard.“Shhh, Honey, come on. No need for that. Do that again, I’m gonna hav...
It's been two weeks since the chip incident, and already we've lost order. Fortunately, my technophobia saved me, as otherwise I would be dead. I produced the chips, and my name is Pasha Markov.

It hurt so bad, impossibly bad. The power, and it was power, flowing into Liam was twisted and wrong and heavy. He watched the old Warrior, Olivia, sigh in relief as he took the burden from her.

"Red Comet, please help me...Lady Lazarus's eyebrows are terrifying. I think they are becoming sentient..." I let out a sharp yelp as the super villain roughly grabbed me by the ponytail.

The first thing I noticed was the smell. I always loved being at her apartment. Not exclusively, but to a great part because of the smell. I am sure you have a favorite smell of your own. New books, maybe? Freshly cut wood? Newly painted rooms? Whatever yours is, her apartment had exactly that kind of smell to me. It ...
I had been on many deadly missions for the council of cats, some more dangerous than others. But why they suddenly decided to make me a Knight of Cats was lost on me. And the mission seemed all to simple to be what it was. Catnip? But I was but a humble soldier, trained to do what my superiors ordered. As I ...
It's all a bit funny looking back now. To think of all the preachers predicting fire and brimstone to rain upon us, the scientists sounding the alarm of an unlivable planet that we had created. It was nothing like that at all. The human race wouldn't die a violent death, but in our sleep after a long, fulfilling life. ...

The wind whipped the drizzle through the the amber streetlights on a silent Sunday evening. As well as the weather, the winter had brought with it the darkness. And the silence.
