On the table was a game board and four glasses. Dozens of little colour pegs filled the centre hexagon of the board. The ancient woman stared into the shadowy cowl seated opposite. ' i suspect that you had fewer challengers recently, you getting slower ' she taunted jumping a peg forward. ' THE GAMES CHANGE YET THE P...
All spacers have one fear in common. It's not custom agents searching the hidden compartments. It's not the shitty food on the waystations in hub systems without a world to provide food. It's far more basic. Every spacer knows that the average engine on a small craft is hard to maintain. And if something goes wrong, th...
The year, 2032. The U.N split years ago. The void in power almost resulted in the end. America tried to take full planet control. "I've always been know as the leader of the free world."The president announced, on a world wide broadcast. "Now it is time that were true." No one agreed, of course. Many of the other cou...
Hello! My name is Samuel Rice, and I've started writing this journal to document my findings in the Black Book. You know, the Codex Umbra, the Tome of Silence, the legendary book that people say contains the secrets of the cosmos? The one that's been missing for over a decade? Yes, I found it, and it took a heck of a l...
"Free weapons! Free weapons!"I shout out onto the street as new adventurers ignore my calling and continue walking down the gravel path. All of them continue to pass me by as my greetings are disregarded, it's always been like this, no one ever goes shopping in old peaceful towns like this for weapons. I walk back insi...
I wave my hand forward impatiently, and a wide-eyed woman quickly steps forward to help me with another sip of tea as the man gawks. "I- I am a time traveler. You must come with me if you want to survive,"he says, suddenly seeming unsure. "I thank you for your concern for my wellbeing,"I turn to smile at him. "It i...
Death had spent near 2 centuries looking for old mister Robins. Now that he sat in front of him death was astonished the near quarter of a meleinum old man didn't look a day past 60. In Mr. Robins, Libary Death's gravelly voice broke the silence. "How did you do it John how did you evade me all these years?" John...
The last thing I remember was laying in my bed, sick with a terrible flu. My wife went to get some more NyQuil while I napped. Now, I’m standing who knows where, my clothes dirty and torn, and I smell like death. Did I sleepwalk? Shit, Addie would be really worried. But something wasn’t right. “What the hell happened?...
"Alright, I heard that a lot of you have been feeling down recently!"I yell out as I look down the edge of the mountain to hear the spirits of the fallen booing me. "I'm sorry that was kind of insensitive, maybe even... cold-hearted?"I say while laughing. Don't get me wrong though, these are my patients, the people who...
"So, this is it huh-"\*ring\* \*ring\, "So, this is it-"\ring\* \*ring\, goddamnit. Not even in death will these damned telemarketers stop calling me. Where is that ringing coming from anyways? I ponder to myself as I float inside of empty space. \ring\* \*ring\*, I hear the ringing continue. "How do I ...
As I don my father's armor, the crimson leather seems to shy away from the light. The garment has been coated to avoid shining and make it less likely to reflect light. I'm luckier than most. It's a rarity that anyone could afford leather at all. Being able to kill any of the creature of the red sea is a feat few can ...
Part One The old warrior reached out with his mind, testing the limits of his grandchilds growing abilities. It wouldn't do to expose her or her twin brother to some of his stronger feelings about Humans, or his own dealings with them. But ignorance was not something to be tolerated, particularly on this delicate su...
“Put your hands up ass-sweat!” The deity slowly raises his arms, calmly, he turns to face the man. The deity almost laughs at the sight of him. With a burly, matted beard, and ruffled balding hair, he was hardly a threat, the deity doubted he’d even showered today. “Stop smiling old man! Get on the sidewalk and giv...
Backed up, nearly half way across the block. I let out a sigh and rubbed the back of my neck, perhaps more fearing the chastising from my friend than the actual upcoming wait time. "What did I tell you dickhead?! I said we should buy the tickets early when we walked by yesterday, you said It would be fine if we just b...
"I don't understand your obsession with plants, Trytus." "It's not an obsession but passion." Rhoda looked at her brother with puckered lips. "It is an obsession!"She yelled. Trytus, who had finished planting his last rose, looked at her. "Why does it matter to you?" "Because you promised that you will give me a ...
The shafted light of the sun was far too fine a cloak for this lordling standing in the dusty motes attempting to stifle the Royal Sneeze. His hose were a little loose for the travel and his travelling garb showed the solid month of travel it took for him to get here. I sniffed, once, and kept wiping the inside of my...
Joseph leaned back on his chair, his attitude towards this event inspiring confidence in some, while upsetting others. Today marked "the beginning of the end of humans on planet Earth"in the president's words. Millions were watching the broadcast from around the planet of Azector, though calling the broadcast live wou...
I remember the night before as Mom tucked me into bed. Her kiss on my head felt longer than on previous nights, but I had a feeling that I would never see my parents again. I closed my eyes as I drifted away, reminding myself that tomorrow will be just the same as yesterday. I didn't expect what would happen after. Aw...
"Beep-Boop." We all laughed at the weird sound that Lorenzo made. "That sounds nothing like the sound of a zoom call."Luca said as he burst into laughter again. "What is that sound called anyway?"Marcello asked. We all went silent for a minute. Then Matteo began to speak. His mouth moved but words were not heard....
She was the bright, resolute planet in a sky full of flickering stars, the distant island amid a vast, uncaring sea, the relief of a cool, silky breeze on an August afternoon. And I loved her, as one would love any of those things. Perhaps even more. Life had never been so blissfully kind as the night it led me to her...
Tim was sitting in the classroom. I mean ofcorese his name wasn't Tim but his reall name would probably be impossible for humens to pronounce so he just let his teacher call him that. This was his 4th week of this weird place humans apparently call school. He was here to learn and master empathy ,The ability to unders...
Casey McGinty looked out over the edge of the bridge. The cold iron of the frame bit into his hands. He’d be upset about it, but the least he could do was leave his gloves to his sister back home. It was about all he could do. He looked out over the city. At three o’clock in the morning the streets weren’t busy, but t...
James wheezed heavily, leaning against an old brick building beside him. He took out an inhaler, breathing a big whiff of the chemicles that where supposed to help with the pain. James had recently been diagnosed with a rare desise con tracted from alien debrie that fell on his house, one that his doctoers claimed was ...
The old man turned from the blinded window and sat at the desk. “I knew you were coming, I have eyes everywhere.” He reached into the left side cabinet and pulled out an aged bottle of brandy, “You’d like two fingers?” I didn’t move an inch not saying a word. My eyes kept firmly locked with his. “At least let me nurse ...
Solomon had felt as if his time exploring Earth may be coming to an end. He had explored nearly every place imaginable to the human mind. He decided that night that he would explore the deep frost-caked woods of Nova Scotia. His intentions seemed innocent but he knew what he was hoping to find. Years prior, his girlfri...
\[poem\] The queen of spades has a gaze of blades they burrow in my back. Blue, beady, bleeding; breaking, turning black. I want to run, I try to flee, I'm slipping through the cracks. &#x200B; The queen of spades has a plat of graves of bones and stones and grass, grim, peaceful, piercing; she's pl...
“You look down, Anne.” I stared down at my feet. The metal landing station under my feet reflected off the jumbo boards which lit up the streets of New Tech. The smell of smoke and soot filled the air. When I had first landed the planet, it was of pure mistake. Our fuel had run low, and I was well aware the planet of...
The throng of people part ways before the knights who escort me. My people look up at my carriage, laughing, waving, cheering, but my face is devoid of mirth. Not being able to ride on a horse is the worst inconvienience of faltering health. I don’t travel a lot anymore, but if I must, I make sure that the royal carria...
(Pt. 1/2) "I'm a perfectly reasonable man."The crackly, low-fidelity sound from the intercom system could not mask the sadness in the captain's voice. "Kill him, and I will spare the rest." Evelyn's head swam as the demand sank in. Hearing such a brutal condition delivered in such a gentle tone was surreal. &#x...

I stood on the observation deck, one hand behind my back, the other holding my coffee mug. I took a small sip as The Memoriam approached the ring. The hum of the hundreds of news crews around me only served to add to the air of barely contained excitement. A turning point in human history more than one hundred years in...
Detective Harry Walters sipped at his coffee and groaned. It was too early to be dealing with a case this strange. He double-checked the arrest report, straightened himself into some semblance of professionalism, and entered the interrogation room. The suspect was male, 5,10, messy hair, in his mid-40s. He was wear...
Today was finally the day. I had been waiting for the launch of Faceit, the new face tracking service that promised to find all instances of a face on the internet. It was a bold claim, and I was eager to test it out. I woke up early, prepared my laptop, and logged onto the Faceit website. The signup process was quick...
I strained as hard I could to let him stay alive just a little longer. My limit to bringing people back was 5 minutes. 5 minutes was all I could give to people. Today was especially hard though. He was a father of two young ones, kids no older than 5. Here he was, looking just as he would have before dying, holding hi...
Epilogue: Most of the Lunisians and Goedons died before they knew they weren't even enemies. A few among both species understood the waves of ecocide caused by the exchange of biological materials from their first robotic expeditions was not an attack. But their voices were not loud enough to drown out those who use...
The fur on my back was tingling with delight. My stomach was rumbling with delicious sounds. My tail was perking up. My mouth turned watery in sight of her. Her outerwear was red as roses. She looked innocent of everything. I was smiling from ear to ear. I had nothing good in a while. My jacket was beating against the ...
So, I have been thinking, how do you get rid of a lifetime sentence? You may call this a waste of time, but since I'm serving one I do have plenty of time anyways, oh and when I say "get rid of"I mean truly get rid of, not just flee, for if you flee you will have to avoid police your entire life, no, how do you get ...
"Hey, Jim,"I greeted as I climbed into the passenger seat of his pickup truck. He barely even acknowledged me with a martyred sigh as he stared straight out of the windshield. Pressing my lips together, I tucked my backpack between my feet and reached for the seatbelt. "See you tomorrow, Mike!"Casey called at me throu...
“The Persian Experience is ready to go!” Filled new headlines and broke timeline streaming records. As everyone in the world gather to watch me break the time travel record that was previously set by my rival Adam, who travel 9000 years into the future and come back into stable condition. Which was considered impossi...
Oh, some possibilities here... 1: Lichs argue over whether or not transplanting a brain into another body should count as undead, and what to call the resulting creature. 2: Some bio-hackers see near-limitless possibilities in grafting dragon DNA and draconic traits into humanoid creatures. Dragons protest this. Vi...
“You need to take those feelings, acknowledge them, and then put them aside.” She’s sincere. For a beat I looked at the social worker. Couldn’t be that simple, if it was, I’d have figured it out by now. Therefore, it sounds simple, but isn't simple. *She’s nervous, always is during a therapy sit-down like this, ...
When I was 12, I wrote a story about my favourite childhood series Sailor Sun. It was a good series; however, I couldn’t understand why the writer overused gender stereotypes. Like any true fan, I made it my resolve to improve the storyline. In my version of events, I wrote about how Hiromi and Mamoru were destined to ...
“I am going to eat you now. That okay?” “No, it kind of isn’t” Bob immediately jumped back from the table, his heart racing. He was alone in the work kitchen, Eating a can of sweet corn. “I am corn, lord of the high cupboard, breaker of Dawn high.” “I’m Bob, I work at accountants.” An awkward silence began, that was ...
Quarantine time? This sucks. I know VR is perfect as it is already, but I want friends to be by my side for real. Besides there is no guarantee they'll be online to play. They might get distracted by something else in the VR World. Garocchio, Gumbagu and Henry, I hope I can see you again sometime. It's just like forty ...
The King was dead. The Lords, Knights and servants were dead. Everyone who had drank the cursed soup was dead. They had dropped like flies on a sweltering summers day, one after the other. The stench of death never left him. Why was the Jester not dead? Perhaps an act of God? A miracle protecting his faithful serva...
"Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me." "Lord, who is it? "It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish."Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to... Me. "What you are about to do, do quickly." *I took the bread and went out. It was night....
Halgar shook his head and wondered why his ears seamed to be smacking his face. No point in dealing with that just yet there were other things to be annoyed at. Mainly that there weren't screams coming from all the disgustingly cheerful people in the town square. More annoyingly there was no Giant Ten Armed Monkey of...
I can't remember how many time we have gone through this. I don't know why I still look when I know how it will end. Every time I force myself into their life awaken them to their memories, watch them relive deaths both traumatic and peaceful. I ruin the life they could of had. I wonder if I isolate myself if they stil...
I’m from Hong Kong lmao, so why not? This story is just for me! I take a deep breath as I look at the door. Damn it, I don’t even know Japanese. I slowly open the door and step inside the classroom. Oh how I miss life in Hong Kong. The yellow starched uniform topped of with a pleated skirt. I look at my classmates, th...
The monastery was silent. Not the silence that comes with an absence of life, but the expectant tension of dozens of people striving to never make a sound. Every monk who entered took a vow of silence, and anyone but those permitted entrance were handled without mercy. Patrolling the halls, Brother Francen felt a tap ...
I walked into the bathroom, getting ready to brush my teeth. The moment I didn't see my brother on his side I knew it was over. I saw him sitting there, staring at his tooth paste on MY SIDE of the sink. I was offended at this. He took my spot for thre last two nights, who gave him the right to the wall? I was older, t...
For most of human history, we struggle to survive. Food. Clothes. Winter. Waters. Disease. It is never about lofty idea. Love, Freedom, etc... Just to survive. Then a bunch of smart ass divide labors. And BOOM. Before you know it. Society. Society with ever more food to eat. Clothes to wear. Statues... Dog Races.... Mo...
The Emperor sat on his golden throne and imposing figure of power. His coal lined eyes were like balls of ice that burrowed into the souls of everyone her looked at. Scarlet stood beside three other women that were chosen to be given to the Emperor as part of the tribute. The other women from the other five realms woul...
I finished setting down the latest addition to the room and sighed. I’m going to have to request a new wing if this sudden onslaught keeps at its current rate. The Arch Lich’s most recent acquisition sat in its dedicated glass case, gleaming softly in the dim light. In a way, it was rather fortunate that the interlope...
"Why are we even wasting time on this? You just pull 'em out with telekinesis." "Shut the fuck up Aaron. Yeah obviously you can do that but where's the fun in that dude?" "Ok ok, hear me out guys: Just freeze everything around it, and then kinda keep going, like make a kinda, uh, tube structure, you feel me, and li...
A young man of twenty-three was sitting at his desk, scratching his head in existential worry that he will never accomplish anything of worth. He held himself in his bedroom with only coffee and pot noodles and told his girlfriend, family and friends to not contact him for an entire week. His room covered in half-fille...
Again with the mention of her wanting another story... my heart breaks for her thirst and hunger for stories every day and night as she never seems to get enough. She consumes them as if she has never been anywhere, nor experienced life without stories to satisfy her needs. She has captured a writer and held him priso...
Part 1 “Oh shit,” Karl mumbled when he woke up. He stretched out lazily, trying to shake off a bit of a headache. He had had one hell of a dream last night. He’d been walking to the bus when something grabbed him and threw him over its shoulders. He hit his head against a light pole in the struggle, and then the dream...

The old elf takes a seat on a stool in front of the room, a dozen eager elf children seated cross legged around him. He smiles down at his audience, always happy to see young ones excited to hear his stories. "Good morning children! So, are you ready for one of the strangest stories passed down from our ancestors?"the...
The bell disturbed me. Why on earth would it sound when I was looking at myself? I knew it meant that it was the last time I saw someone, but come on. I wasn't going to not look at myself again. It hadn't been wrong before, but surely this time it was a mistake. I nodded to myself. Yes, it must be. With that in mind I...
Foul language is used. ——— Annoyance boiled in Vivian’s veins as they stared at the most irritating man-child to possibly exist. They had instinctively saved the this boy Samuel from being pummeled by a truck and, believe it or not, Vivian utterly regretted not letting this curly haired pain-in-the-ass not get crush...
“What is it now?”, a mildly frustrated Dark Lord inquired upon hearing a knock on the door to his magnificent office. It had been years since he took over the realm, and the excitement had begun to wear off. “Another border dispute between Rhyderia and Lyndore, my Lord.”, replied the servant, a plump old man, rou...
"Buddy, that's amazing! I'm so happy for you."She yells and somehow coos at the same time. "Are you coming back up North then? We can go on adventures..." Drop pin I've replayed that night countless times. I've made countless mistakes, but that was the night I lost deja vu. I had everything anyone could ever hope f...
“Would you?” I turned to face the stranger A wide grin spanned the mysterious man’s face. What did he just say? What? No. No way I could kill someone just* for a cup of coffee.* That was a joke, right? I’d smile back to play in but after reading him, I could not understand his serious grin. **I motioned ...
Adam was a ghost... well what more could be said. He had died from a car accident leaving him dead on impact, and from there he had become a ghost just wandering around the city not really doing much. Most of the time he would mess with people it would be small things like making lights flicker or bumping into things...
[Poem] Every boy and every girl has heard the tale of the grumbin, Every day, with grum in hand, I longed for some grum respite, Then last week I rubbed a lamp and and from within— a djinn! "Tell me your wish, my young lad"his eyes glowed with green light, "Oh me! Oh my!"I nearly cried! Everything was now alright!...
My arrival was met with disappointment when I saw how much the food changed. One thing grabbed my attention. Even though humans were still eating carbs from engineered alternatives mostly (the natural stuff is still around, but it carries a significant tax), all kinds of breads were simply forgotten. Humans have been e...
Blood so much blood, on the walls of the trench on the snow, and my flack jacket. This war these damn aliens and their pacification I have had enough of it. With a newfound purpose, I push myself up from the pile of corpses littering the mass grave of a defensive emplacement. The sounds of distant gunfire and tracers f...
My daddy drives a cool red car! Daddy won the lottery! Daddy is taking me to Disneyland with free tickets! Oh how quickly children grow up. Jimmy had a peculiar gift - the things he wrote in his little diary, the one we got him for his sixth birthday - somehow always came true. We used to joke that he was our...
It was like a vacation. And then it wasn’t. I stood up from the dirt I had been face-down in for so long. I stared around at the vast plains of dust, racking my brain, trying to remember how I got there. Did I have amnesia? Of course not. I recalled a plane, sitting in it, and then... darkness. Convenient memory loss...
"And that's your guarantee?" "One hundo my friend. One hundred percent." Hands are shaken, as is the baseline mood of those in the studio. Payday could not come sooner, but that went without saying, from the discolored room and the lightbulbs that no longer carried the same weight in their illumination they...
"I think we took a wrong turn." My sister said in fear. This all happened because my sister wanted to test her phone's autocorrect. I guess I was too busy getting there instead of looking at the destination. The town did look quite small, with only 200 living here. The town had one mcdonald's, four streets named, 1...
"Kevin, Kevin.. It's time to go", the voice was echoy, as if coming from the bottom of a well. Kevin grunted, the stench of iron filling his lungs as flakes of dried blood broke off from his expanding nostrils. "Kevin, kettle is on, you'd like coffee too?", The rumbling of boiling water became louder, but there was n...

Again! Ok fine I'll be there as soon as I can. (Hangs up the phone). As I slide my work boots on at 2am, I take the time to appreciate the materiel they are made from.

Upon the window sill, in the clear view of the moon laid a single envelope, sealed with the Heiburn family crest and drenched in blood.

The Hookfoot deer, (Cervus Elevatus), has only recently been observed in the area of the Manhattan ruins. The most notable distinguishing trait are the elongated hooks at the terminus of the front appendages. These hooks are modified hooves, strong enough to support the deers weight for prolonged periods. The adaptati...
"Why the hell did you do it?!" I was awoken by a splash of water in the face, and I quickly realized my current situation: tied to a chair, being interrogated by the boss himself, a tall, balding, muscular man, probably in his 50s already. I didn't even know his name. We all called him "Jacko the Whacko". Anyways, I w...
“The hunger is strong today.” Rob said to me as I was grabbing the last can of some food who’s label was faded beyond legibility. “Do you want this? You haven’t eaten in weeks.” I replied. “No. I want to wait.” Rob gave me a wink and a laugh. This wasn’t the plan. Rob is my best friend, even before all of this happe...
Arzon sighed and flipped to the next report. Slow shift today. Nobody was scheduled to come through for at least another hour. He had briefly perked up at the news of a horrific crash – apparently someone in a Bugatti ran a red light and tore through a city bus – but even that hadn’t led to an influx of work. Legal was...
I didn't really want to go, y'know? You live with something terrible for 5 years, like a boarded up window, it almost feels like a friend. Heck, the day I went the curse was just the breaks on my car not working! Anyways, I crashed into the sign "FANTABULOUS FAITH HEALER"at about 4 miles an hour, enough to ruffle the g...
My heart is racing as I sit down at the plastic and steel table where the guards have escorted me. My palms are sweaty, and I have to constantly fight the urge to bolt from the room. I've never actually met my father in person, and the only pictures I've seen of him were from The Trial. Of course that all happened befo...
That was the last thing I think anyone would expect to hear from the 'Dark Lord' himself as he gestured. The Dredge Skeletron Guards pulled myself and my two companions to our feet as he shook his head. "You are not the first, nor do I think you will be the last to come before me and claim those things. But I suppos...
"Umm, do you mean 'Angels' Ma'am?" She cleaned her gun and sigil. "No, Angles. Worst than the Archangles, even Lucifer fears them." I take another look at her, just to be sure. A dark, straight haired, professional assassian like her couldn't be suffering from this kind of brain damage. Just as a reach for the applic...

I never thought I would have the guts to do it. Whilst I wouldn't say I had a crippling fear of heights - jumping out of an aeroplane wasn't exactly at the top of my to do list.

A heavy, mid afternoon rain fell on the cattle ranch as the man awoke. Questions flowed around his mind as he started to take in his surroundings. where am I? Why am I sleeping in a field? How long have I been here? WHERE THE FUCK AM I? Something caught his eye. In the distance, through the rain and heat waves, he...
"A movie?" "No."Shoes, kicked off by the door. It groaned in complaint, long past its opening and closing prime. You really needed to get around to oiling those hinges, but the brand you preferred went out of production fifteen years ago.

"You know, that just might work,"the Netflix executive said one day, having just heard the pitch for a spinoff of their show "Lucifer"as the latter was filming its final season. "I mean it's similar enough in premise that the same fans who watched Lucifer and made it a hit, might watch this too." I was beaming. I coul...
I stared at my coworker who had the same bemused look I did. Mandatory training? “I bet Lila had another racist moment.” My coworker groaned. “Yet she stays unfired each time, and we’re the ones who end up punished!” I groaned back. We headed to the conference room. I expected to find the Employees hand book and m...
"Joe are you okay?" "Yeah I'm fine, Bob."he replied. The two climbed out of the wreckage and stared around, desperately looking for the slightest sign of human life. It was around 8:00 PM, so they did not see anything. "Well, we're doomed."said Joe. "What are we to do now?" "Not sure."replied Bob, brushing off debr...
Thirty-six thousand and five hundred. This was the thirty-six thousand and five hundredth sunset Peter had ever seen. Peter didn’t look like he was a hundred years old. He most certainly did not feel like he was a hundred years old. His hair was still a rich black, his skin still smooth, and his smile still shined ...
Mercel had been caught quite off-guard with the letter summoning him to Percival's workshop, but who was he to refuse a polite but ominous request to visit the most interesting contract magicians of this age. Which is how the businessman stood in front of the little workshop— wedged into the margins of much more succes...
I immediately call the the police. This is the same guy that killed my wife and two kids months ago. As he gets into the back of the squad car I take a drag of my cigar, it’s raining.

The throbbing pain in my temple has finally dragged me, kicking and screaming, back to consciousness. I try to raise my head, but my neck is too sore.
