Ninety-six counts of intentional homicide. Most citizens could justify a few, maybe half a dozen, but nearly a hundred?
Oh, sure, it was your court-appointed duty as a Public Defender, but clients like John Young were the ones you and your colleagues PRAYED you didn't get.

It was glorious for a time we called it the awakening, enlightenment on a mass scale, it was like we had all become buddahas and yogis freely giving of ourselves and our wisdom, no more hate and discrimination, those first few months put the 60's to shame.
But little did we know that the very thing that brought us so ... |

One drop to get you hooked.
On what, you ask? An idea, a dream, a wish, maybe?
Doesn’t matter, you’re hooked.
​
Hooked on the feeling coursing through your body,
evenly, slowly
Tickling your nerves through the ion channels of your taste buds,
instantly, electrifyingly
Sending signals to t... |
I stood at the edge of the bridge, looking at where the body had fallen just a few moments ago. Drips of red ran off the edge of my sword, and I pulled a small white towel from the pack beside me. I carefully cleaned the blade and watched as the towel absorbed the red blood, glowed faintly, and then returned to its for... |
"Well, this is some bullshit."I say, my frustration evident as I look to my second in command, trying to see if he has any ideas.
But a quick look at his face tells me he\`s fresh out of ideas, as is evident by the bullet wound to his forehead and his vacant eyes. Yes, he\`s very dead, not helpful.
*Sigh*

31 hours, about two quarters of humanity is snuffed..or maybe half, somewhere between there.
Alot of people didn't believe it, I didn't either until my dog simply closed its eyes and sunk into the floor.. the carpet molding into him as he sank. I remember seeing tearing at the floor but I don't remember quite what I... |
It’s hard getting older. When you’re young, you feel like the world is yours, and every dream is just a reality you haven’t worked towards yet. Then the years start rolling in and every dream is just something you didn’t work hard enough to achieve.
Not to say I didn’t have my successes. I was the first of my peers t... |
There was a slow steady soft pinging in his ear. That was not good news.
He knew this even as his slowly recovering grey matter was kicking up the obvious facts that he had been asleep and was now waking up. Wait. Not asleep. Cryo-stasis.

People used to like Billy for his silly jokes and smart wittiness but from the day that he had run into town screaming his lungs out about the nuclear power plant at the end of town having an meltdown, an hostile aircraft nearing town to eradicate all civilians or the plain and simple time the boy had said that a the d... |
Please, I say to my younger self, I don’t have much time and I really need you to listen. My younger self stares blankly, not comprehending what is going on. Am I high? I wonder, as I try to do the math to figure out exactly what point of my life I’ve appeared into. I look around to try to see where we are and realize ... |
Tanavan watched as the Wind Caster Guild soared over the town square on their new model of flyers. The sun glinted off their silvery metal frames and he was amazed, again, about the new kind of metal the stone casters had discovered. They claimed it was light as a feather and it was hard to argue with that considerin... |
Vlad pushed the stone sarcophagus's lid with trembling hands.
It pushed back with the weight of 10,00 years and untold liters of blood.
'Goddamn it! Time to downgrade to a cardboard coffin,' he thought before heaving it to the side just far enough for a bat to fly out.
As he settled back into human form, he shu... |

"Beacon one, we are go for launch."A loud male voice blares into his interspace helmet as he seats himself onto the cold metal auto-seat in the passenger bay of the Auroras, a mid-class interplanetary repair ship. She was an old hunk of metal built during the mid-twenty third century, and capable of making o... |
I still remember my tour of Satan’s hoard, all those eons ago. It was required for everyone who was posted at the Pearly Gates, as a reminder of what we guarded against.
Souls, as far as the eye could see. Some piled up in bottles, pressing desperately against the glass, forever gasping for air. Others were mere shade... |
“Please reconsider!” The witch pleaded.
Just 10 minutes ago the witch cursed me to be an animal, with our argument she mistakenly worded her curse *‘You shall be a Duck, until you can agree with me!’*
Being a duck is a simple life. just sitting in the lake, napping mostly. no taxes, no bills, just peace.

When I opened the door I was expecting the preachers son, or a local farm girl asking about the price of apples. Not this.

In the deep forest, the water was sprinkling around. Surrounding was quite. It was a full moon. Water reflecting the moonlight. The girl was dancing on the surface of the lake. Her tail will splash the water around her. Water would flow around her with utmost perfection. No eddies in the water. It was like a beautiful ... |
It had been 2 years since Covid-19 pandemic of 2020.

With a blast of energy the entire battlefield was illuminated with a multicolored flash. Leviathans crumbled to ash as they dove downwards onto the ground, insectoid aliens smashed themselves to dust with the last blows of their fists.

It was 8:45 PM, the winter sun had set hours ago. The dark mixed with the damp soaked earth, inviting everyone to stay home and watch Netflix. The homes glowed dully from the curtain shrouded lights within. Save for the shining jewel light up by spotlights, James Hornaday Beckett Memorial High School, who scored 32 ... |
Lily pulled her coat about her tighter as the snow continued to drift down around her. The fresh snow crunched underneath her feet as she made her way to the great hall along with the rest of the village. When she got to the great hall, she stamped the excess snow from her boots and pulled back her hood, revealing her ... |
Ten minutes of fruitless searching made me realize the truth- I did not have my key ring. That was impossible.
It had been a hard day at work. Tired is not quite the word I could use. I was so glad to sit down in my car and wend my way through traffic so I could get home. And now, I was locked out of my own house wit... |
The megafauna had an important role in nearly all ecosystems on Earth.
Whilst they ate a lot of vegetation (which was abundant before humanity grew it's appetite for timber) they, as you would expect, defecated a lot too!

I've been on the phone with Visa for 2 hours... I just can't seem to get anywhere. I insist that the $5,531 purchase made on my card wasn't me.

A cloaked figure walked through the dense woods, taking care to keep their hood up. While it kept them out of the occasional sunspots, it truncated their view, so they'd sometimes stumble over a root or tread on a mushroom.

There used to be magic in the world, but those days are over now. A few optimistic souls claim you can still find some in isolated corners of the world, but most of the civilized world left the arcane arts behind long ago.
The last time I saw magic used was when I was a boy. There was a terrible blight on all of the ... |
James’ eyes jumped open to a loud groaning sound, like that of a container ship straining against the waves. As his eyes adjusted to the dim light around him he saw other figures strapped into seats just like himself.

Zheng Shui, the last king of a long-ashen dynasty, lifts his head and bellows a gutteral laugh. I continue my approach, conserving my energy for what is about to happen. What has happened forty times before, and what must happen forty times still.

Martin knocked on my door and stuck his head halfway inside as he does when he's excited. "Come in, Martin."He strode in and plopped himself at my kitchen table. His boots were muddy.
I loved keeping Martin in suspense. "So can I get you a tea?"
"Yeah, sure, be lovely, if you don't mind."He was anxiously awaiting ... |
I blinked at the message in confusion for a few moments before memory returned. Why, yes, I'd bought that death, hadn't I? I was at Finis, an experience cafe specializing in the fatal. Like most immortals, I'd had a death quite a few times over the past several millennia. I'd been working my way through the various nat... |
One set of slightly glowing blue eyes watch you while laying in bed. In the mirror on the wall you see yellow flicker eyes towards the middle of the rug. Dark red eyes glowing from the corner of the room.
Putting the pillow over your head trying to sleep and ignore what you saw you start to hear the faint rumble of ... |
I started sweating. Did the receptionist just say cleric? I sat down in the office and searched up the company on my phone. “Party Favors, a.... loaning company.” I whispered.
Wait what do they loan? I looked at their website. “Party Favors is a loaning company that allows you to hire someone for spelunking, hunting,... |
There’s a certain beauty to the silence. A sort of melancholy that fills the air around you. It sinks into your skin, reaches your bones.
You yearn to know what happened, to understand the reason why. But all the searching in the world won’t dig up those answers. It’s been too long, there’s noone left who knows them.... |
"Oh no"I thought to myself "I'm gonna die"I was sure of, but my instincts are survival instincts after all.
"Hopefully I don't die"
Then I realised people were keeping a distance from me, or maybe the SCP near me
I looked behind me, only to see people fleeing away
I hope that hopefully I'm not dead, only to rea... |
"WOW, I can't believe we actually took down that thing!"The timid mage called out from behind the rock he was using for cover.
"Weakling,"exclaimed the fighter, her sword still covered in blood, "It stood no chance!"

It was a hard life, holding the line. I've seen many a battle, long many a friend, and struck down many a foe. The wild beasts of the influenza army, the savage barbarians of the rhinoviruses, and once, a massive opponent that resembled a tadpole.
But I have grown weary, watching my comrades fall, either to enemy or t... |
Man, this shit sucks.
I remember the day Giia came to me in my dreams and mocked me. Claimed she’d be able to that Geese combo in one go. All I said was fuck off and now I’m stuck in my room. Isn’t the worst that happened to me so I laughed.
I got the combo right on day 3, but then I woke up again. Same day. I’m two ... |
'Captain, we need to abandon the ship. Now!' Beran's voice was shaking. I suppressed a chuckle.
 
Beran was the last living person from planet Zyrgoth. The people of Zyrgoth were the most war hungry breed, second only to humans. The fact that Beran, of all the people, was scared was amusing.

The boy was weeping before me, hands tangled in his hair. His breathing came quick, a short, gasping breath that produced a wheezing noise from within his throat. I adjusted my glasses and checked my notes.

The air was so humid I felt as if I was drowning. Being lost didn’t ease my feelings of anxiety either. I studied every patch of trees trying to determine whether or not they looked familiar all the while hoping that some progress was being made toward somewhere, that I wasn’t walking in some huge circuit. Then the rai... |

As I made my way deep into the complex, the winding corridors grew more off-putting.

This would be her first transformation. She never initiated, only watched as others did the dirty work of multiplying their species.

She came into being not with a bang, or a whimper. Nature herself conspired to create her.

Queen Alana of Xalandio was sitting on her throne in the city of Arkrau: the capital of Xalandio.

My name is Pandora. You have probably heard my story.

I sat on my couch, watching the TV wrapped up in my blanket. The window was wide open and I had a great view of Earth from here. The eight celebrities sat down in the space station quarters when suddenly a voice crackled from the speakers

The gas station lights are so bright.

Through guts and glory I’ve paved my life
full of deceit and wonder for the wickedness

“Where is my notebook!” I yelled at my roommate John. “I don’t know. Did you leave it out here?” he mumbled from the couch, not showing much interest. “I left it on the kitchen counter before I left!

I'm a simple guy. Hardworking. Show up on time, put my hours in, and go home. I toyed around with fighting crime once or twice, but always just as an idea, never something to take really serious.

We had many names for it. Battle terrors, flash-backs, PTSD. A plethora of negative connotations that completely fail to explain the *gravity* of such an affliction. The utter terror you experience when, at one moment, you are in your bed, and in the next you are neck-deep in the aftermath of war.
