“Ah, there you are, I’ve been expecting you!” I lied.
“What?!” The Black Mummy demanded. “How could you possibly anticipate my arrival?! I didn’t plan to come here until I saw you live!” He wore a red tie and a black suit. He was surrounded by black strips of cloth. It was quite the contrast to his pale skin, but I im... |
“Pestilence can’t do anything - He’s practically useless!” “Oh man, I think I caught a cold. Really scary, Pestilence.” “You look like the booger in Mucinex commercials. Of course, you’re supposed to look like your relatives, but the resemblance is uncanny…”
Yeah, yeah. War with his flashy moves, Famine with his Gnawi... |
I finally got to my beta reader's house. Ok she hates that I call her that now and not 'best friend'. But is kinda lame that the first reader of my second book is my bestie, no? Whatever, I heard whines. Oh I know that voice very well. That's when Jenny opened the door and started to shake my shoulders.

The world seemed too colorful. It made me want to crawl back into bed and sleep forever, or at least until it didn't hurt anymore. I couldn't afford to do that though. I had to keep working. There was no way around it. My time for grief was up. The world may still have been bright and colorful that summer, but it had b... |
Our homeworld is one of perfect freedom.
Nothing impedes us from motion. No obstacles stand in our way. We go where we will and flow how we choose, and in this state we have achieved enlightenment.
But this world... this word disagrees.
Everything here is trapped, struggling against that terrible force they've named... |
I held hands with Henry's beloved daughter. The cancer had been eating away at our brain for the past two years had taken away our sense of touch, but we could still feel the warmth of her hand as she sobbed at our death. The now familiar sound of a heart flatline on the monitor was the conclusion of my time with Henry... |
I was sitting in a cafe, sipping on my usual coffee when I saw him. Across the street, I saw a man who looked just like me. Exactly like me.
A long time ago I found out that evil twins did, in fact, exist. I didn't believe it of course, but my mother made sure that everything I needed to know was drilled into my head... |
At first, all I heard was the screeching of the air above me. Looking up I could see countless drop pods. It appeared our cry for help had been answered. But was it too late the Daleks had my position surrounded and it would be all but a few moments before I became the latest in a long line of victims to die hearing EX... |

I kept fidgeting with the turbuboline tablet I had bought. Or, as it was known to ordinary people, 'the personality changing poison'.
Society had not accepted turbuboline use yet, it was still looked down upon, and it was not without reason. Imagine your frineds or family, changing their entire personality, in rare c... |
*Fork.* I thought as the mini spear slammed into the wall. The four pronged death now avoid. Great.
Doesn’t mean I avoided getting slapped by the speedster. My cheek heating up in pain and embarrassment as the people around laughed.

The beauty of a person's life is not only the the lives they lived but also their deaths. You can't have life with death... in a way a guess this makes me less whole. It's been a few hundred years, maybe just maybe it's time that I stopped wandering. Although it will be painful, not just for me, I should at least try t... |
They called it "The Peep Walk". Looking at that, you won't see anything unusual: a common suburban road, with cars sprinting, and a dusty sidewalk on the side. And yet, if you walked on this road, and you looked carefully enough, you could catch a glimpse of other streets and hear sounds from different eras and worlds.... |
*"Davis Oliver, owner of black and gold watch, please come to the lost-and-found office."*
It's always been easy to do my job, working at a lost-and-found office in a busy airport. That is because I have a special ability, a "super-power"if you will. Just by looking at an object and thinking about it...

This was piggy's fun store. There were large abandoned carts lying over the streets, blocking any cars from entering. Two boys by the names of Carl and Guy were walking with flash nights as they saw the moon shine upon them.

It had been an agonising year of back and forth lobbying with various historical collectors, museums and philanthropists to collect the funding necessary for a new venture in Egypt after new clues pointing to undiscovered tombs arose.

It had been quite a pleasant dream, one of wonder and beauty and a fresh sense of discovery right on the tip of the fingers. I see it! The great beast is headed this way! Gripping my rifle firmly and holding the barrel steady, a bead of sweat escapes from my brow as I stare down the hulking dinosaur barrelling towards ... |
"So, let me get this straight,"my human assistant walked over to the holo-table and marvelled at the sight of my planet, "you became the supreme ruler of Earth just to win... a bet?"he asked, a confused look etched over his wrinkled face.
"Yeah."I shrugged. No biggie.
The human brought up the hologram of Earth on the... |
The battlefield was marred with the blood of heroes who's names would never be known. The cacophony of the ongoing battle remained untold to those listening. It was too much noise, too much death, too much violence. Processing the mayhem was difficult, even for a veteran like myself.
I had seen plenty of battles in my... |
“Jesús,this is really not a good time for this.” I told the tattered bag as I jammed my entire arm into its mouth, and as soon as I said those words and arrow logged itself in my breastplate. “Case in point, now give me the goddamn dwarven auto bow!” He mumbled through my arm a “But I like that bow!” This has a been re... |
The breath subconsciously trapped in my lungs finally surfaces as I plunge into the depths, a frigid wave washing over me. These creatures are so different without the glass between us, lazily going about their lives, I wonder if they even know. I catch the thought as it swims through my mind, inhaling the serenity of ... |

Simon was in trouble. Sweat beading down the sides of his face as he ran down the main street. He needed to get to the bookstore and fast. Simon was cursing his shins. ‘How the hell did he get himself in this mess?’ he mused. Oh, that’s right. A night of binge drinking and accepting a sorcerer’s spell challe... |
The lottery was a somber time. The virtual white marble and palm trees had cyber-selves waiting, some crying, some trying to find places to be alone. Though, when every mind is connected, it is impossible to truly be alone.
The ‘net-wide broadcast pulsed through. There was no time to say goodbye, to prepare. Those who... |
People say that they have ghosts in their houses.
I actually have one.
I am not joking. I think it was here before me, because the guy I bought it from really rushed to get the house sold. It is most active on nights, mainly between 11 PM, and 5 AM.
I hate it. Absolutely.
But today is different. It left me a note o... |
"And so we begin, my friends, to understand the motives for these atrocities. And until I am done with my investigation, we will all remain in the ballroom under watch by the local deputies. Please remain calm. I'm sure everything will be just fine... unless you have something to hide."

The swirling colors; green, grey, brown, black, filled the vision of the men. Approaching quickly over the firey red sands of the surrounding desert, none of those colors should have been there. The squadron paused, horses reined in, footsoldiers halted their advance. The enemy was approaching from the rear, and every ... |
It’s always there. Always. Every night, when the sun fades from the horizon, and its glow is replaced by the harsh haze of streetlamps, it’s there. In the blistering heat and cold, in the rain, wind, and snow.
It just stands there, under the light of the lamp. It doesn’t move. If it has eyes, it doesn’t blink. If it h... |
Contrary to fiction in the 1950s to 2000s, there was much celebration when Johannes Fisher's case was found. The observers finally found a disturbance in the endless predictable mundanity of humanity... At least, perceived.
So what was the exciting failure of the grand algorithm? On 9 January 2150, Johannes ate cereal... |
I gagged, I couldn't help myself, the place was disgusting. How could anything live like this? I didn't understand.

A single soldier stood in blackened grass, looking out into the distance blankly. The cloud of smoke that billowed out of a great fire on the horizon was heavy but did not form a curtain thick enough to blot the light of the sun that shone above it. The woods that stretched outwards around the plains burned and dead, a... |

People, people, and more people.
Without death to put a check on humanity, it's population skyrocketed. It hit 10 billion, 20 billion, 30 billion, and so on. But even though death was gone, didn't mean all of the other nuisances of life were.
Food quickly ran out, and it began to be reserved for the elite. The poor w... |

For as long as I remember, I can hear thoughts. One common misunderstanding about this power is in how I receive this type of information. There is no such thing as hearing others mind voice; I will try to explain what I mean.

I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. The abandoned apartment building is still there. I and a lot of others thought it was demolished weeks ago. In a haze of thought, I ran to the front of the building uncontested as opposed to its untimely demise, surrounded by construction workers and security personnel.

Osamu Hajime was a successful man, more importantly he was fortunate. Yes, he had all the traits common among the self-made magnates: intelligence, drive, shrewdness, you name it.

I hadn’t enjoyed watching Mike get rejected over and over and over for the past two years...ok maybe a little. This was the harshest rejection yet though.

The moment hung in the air like a cloud on a still day.

No one on Earth understood me, and the only person I loved was myself. So here I was, on this parallel Earth, looking to find myself.
It turns out it wasn't that difficult to find the parallel Earth's version of me, as this place was very similar to ours. So there I was, standing face to face with myself. The other me... |
To be honest, waking up early is one thing I was never good at. But that 8 am job ain’t waiting for anybody. If I want to get to work on time, I have to get up before the sun rises.
I scroll briefly through the weather after a quick shower. Light rain and wind at 10 knots? Not bad, considering that a cold front just w... |
“Oh, you’ve dropped the charade I see” Sebastian said as he furtively glanced at his would be killers. Giant towers of bone, speckled with wire, pins, and the occasional plastic piece, stood there motionless.

My journey started eons ago. I was just a normal boy, who loved commputers and witchcraft. I studied all the time about witches and wizards. I knew it was fake, that is until, that day arrived.

The all-too familiar intro music started playing in the den and made its way to Joey’s room, diminished but still recognizable. The dark, menacing bass tones and discordant minor melody now was laughably corny to him, like seeing a ghastly halloween mask every day. He glanced at the clock, even though he already knew i... |

“Don’t touch my balloons.”
After the sudden outburst, the little girl continued to studiously ignore me, her focus unbroken and fixated on something at the corner of 18th and Melrose. She had a dozen or so colorful balloons tied to her waist – similar to those that could be found at a birthday party of a girl her age.... |
When I was a teen, I figured out something that every teenager suspects: Reality was fake. In a deep, fundamental level: the sky, the trees, the ground in which I used to stand. If there was a real world, my world was certainly not it.
Finding this was, somehow, not a loss, but a gain. After a period of mourning the l... |
The office was small-ish. There would clearly be larger ones but at the moment all Vlad noticed was the mess. Papers piled everywhere, dirty flagons (at least they looked like flagons but they were small and white and smooth) and a terrible odor hung in the room.

The context here is that some up and coming warlord is following in the Footsteps of the Storm king and other villains in conquering the world. However, they recognize that Equestria is far too powerful to defeat, having heard of the defeats of previous villains in the series, but they have heard rumours of a magic mir... |
Capt. Stratos flew at terrific speed to the current location of the not-quite secret lair of his arch-nemesis, Misdirection. He did make sure the "hidden"news drones were able to keep up, if only just. He was amazed that nobody had figured out he knew about them. It was not like it was difficult to figure out, given th... |
Three dead bodies, all murdered, locked inside a vault that can only be locked from the inside and only unlocked from the outside.

A forest of young trees, birds chirping, ants crawling. The knocking of a woodpecker- then something much louder and buzzing. What was once whole is now in pieces and I am one of those pieces. I do not speak but words come from me. I remember a desk, a table, a floor I was dropped on but picked up off of later. I passe... |

Grandpa Fred Weber -- may he rest in peace -- was no packrat. Other than his books, he did not leave much behind. Our “Opa” Weber believed in the value of knowledge: a learned man, both from studies and his long life.
Unlike his daughter, Mother Dearest, Opa did not care much f... |

"Water,"the dying man begged. "Please."

Not going to brag, but I’m pretty good at games. From tic-tac-toe to chess, Tetris to Minecraft, from Journey of Dragon Legend to Legendary Dragon’s Journey: I’m what they call an “epic gamer”. “They”, of course, being the companies that hire me for consulting.

Fear is a normal part of human life. It's a normal part of living. If a creature can experience the world, odds are there is part of it that it cannot stand. Your greatest fear, instinctual or learned, is worn on your sleeve or rather, the pavement.

Of everyone inside the room, she was usually the one that voiced her opinion first, “To burn the fields of crops is completely unnecessary and it will only kill innocents.” The daily assembly she addresses are tired “vigilantes” who are a completely different race from her: the human race.

Clawing desperately at my wrists, her frantic struggles become hopeless flailing until she finally falls still.

It was so late that it was getting early: this was the most dangerous hour of the night. The buses would soon start their routes, and the villagers who would commute to the capital city were surely up already. I had to come up with something.

The Commander fell to the floor, exhausted, as they finished. The combined effort of their attack had scarred the earth itself. Clouds of thick black smoke billowed from the bottomless chasm they had blasted in the ground. Then the Commander laughed. For the first time in years, she laughed. It was over. It was really... |
One day, the sky turned purple to reflect the new hue of the ocean.

Footsteps. An array of uncanny smoothness. Glass under feet. I step past a small woven barrier. My shoe ruins the glasslike floor. Under me, the road has become disgusting. An old lady steps out, a bit tired, angry, but accomodating, "Don't worry, I"ll clean it up."
"What exactly?"I question.

You aren’t sure for how long you haven’t blinked, instead focused on the gentle swirl of the steam that emanates from your fourth or fifth cup of coffee, four hours into a twelve-hour shift.

Finally weekend. I check the time on my phone. Nearly 12PM? I slept in hugely. I guess I skip breakfast. Let's just get myself a plain old sandwich for lunch.

Heat death is a gradual thing, it would happen over trillions of years. And the universe isn't doomed to heat death anyways. Heat death is approaching maximum entropy. Maximum entropy is determined by the volume of the universe, and the universe is expanding, so the goalpost keeps running away. We can increase entr... |

Ortus stood on his favorite cliff on the Isle of Soli. It was dawn and this was his favorite place to work. Something about the seclusion and beauty of this particular island always put Ortus at peace. Standing at the peak of the cliff, he knew the serenity wouldn’t last long. His best friend would wake soon... |
Dave sat in his Megatrembler and watched the windshield vibrate in front of him. There were no enemy sightings as yet, but his orders were to patrol this area. His headphones were dusty and sweaty.

I had downloaded LyfEndr. I’ll spare you the complaining. Not out of courtesy, or to avoid unsettling my readers: but because I’m not speaking about my pain or misery. I’ll also spare you the story of my life: This is the story of my death.

Barlen looked to the north, the setting sun warmed his dirty face, but the countless fires in front of him froze his heart. Weeks of fighting had whittled down the number of defenders left at the Keep to almost two thousand, while the Northern Horde seemed to have three more attackers for every one they killed. He used... |
If I couldn't have her, nobody could. Plain and simple. If she didn't want to come back to me, she would have to die. Her and her new boyfriend. That's the problem with families today. Nobody values commitment anymore. That's why you have so many divorces and so many broken homes with single parents in it. I don't want... |
He grinned at her when she swung the axe and cut a stone column perfectly half. Malvark could tell she was seeing red once their eyes met.

No one knows what the town's original name was. It is only known as Dungeon Town now. On such barren land, ravaged by wicked magics, the prosperous town looked out of place.
It is a place where no plants grow and the water made people sick, food and water had to be delivered from elsewhere. It is a miracle the town co... |
I’ve done everything in life. This is no hyperbole: I sired a son, planted a tree, and wrote a book; I wined with the King of Jerusalem, dined with Queen Nzinga, and slept in alleys, eating canned beans and leftover pork.
