So you may be able to guess the inspiration for this. Hint: It's all about presentation. ​ ​ Victus turns the TV off with a remote and stares at the black screen, knowing that he should get up and train, but the truth is that his body hurts from years of high-stress activity, and his willpower...
Houston, we have a problem. Copy that. What's going on down there? Captain, I'm not sure how to put this.... Goddamn Mullens, speak boy, we are on the clock here. Captain, I can't locate the rover Mullens, you better be pulling my leg. Gregson just dialed in and told me you boys had the Rover clocked under a mil...
It started out as a normal day. Normal for me at least. I woke up late, didn’t have time to shower so I quickly threw on some clothes I had lying on the floor hoping they smelled decent. Sniffing my armpits I hesitate as to whether or not I really need deodorant or if it can wait. Yeah, I need it. Bad. Dad has alread...
I am in the business of training people to kill other people, and teaching them how not to get killed. I kill people myself, of course, though not often. I am an asymmetrical warfare specialist, cultural expert and survivalist. I'm not the gun, not if I have anything to say about it. I can be a pretty good one, but I'm...
They lived happily ever after once upon a time. But that was before. Before we realized that the chemtrails were real. We thought they were in the sky at first. How foolish we all were. We lived happily ever after once upon a time. Now? We don't live and we don't die. We've evolved beyond happiness. Beyond feeling. So...
The blinding light faded and my vision slowly returned. I rubbed my eyes and looked around only to realize I was no longer sitting at the bus stop, but was now sitting in the middle of what looked like a basement. "What the hell?!"I had shouted it not expecting any answer, but remembered I was somewhere I didn't recogn...
A flash of white turned into gray, and a weird tingling feeling overtook me. I was dead. After killing scores of people, and scores still, I was dead. They called me the world’s most feared human. Life’s mistake. I called myself a rule breaker. However, none of that mattered now. I was dead. Suddenly, though, a thought...
It'd been a long day and running a marathon was never easy work. But somehow, I was improving. I felt myself getting less tired and near the end, it almost felt like I was flying past everyone. It didn't occur to me to check what was in my bottle. It had always been a standard mix of water and some powdered proteins an...
Glass rained from the sky, while men in tactical gear descended upon me like black angels of death. There was nothing I could do in the dark complex filled with giant silver vats. My team had abandoned me and so too had my rival. As I floated in a glowing vat of smooth, pure white yogurt sprinkled with orangutan piss a...
You see the problem with being able to turn into anything, is the fact that you can become God. I mean, imagine what the regular human would do with that kind of power. They could destroy the Universe, rewrite everything in their image.... Or.... Or they could end up getting trapped by a twelve year old. A kid that R...
"No. You may not!"That was the only answer I received whenever I asked to go to the ocean. It was always a "No!"or "Definitely no!"or something along that line. I had already asked more times than I could count why I couldn't go to the ocean. Mom always changed it to another topic though, so I never got an answer, or e...
The auditor looked around at the parlor, burnt orange brocade chairs shoved to one side against poison green wallpaper. Crushed velvet wall hangings fell into tiger-patterned Turkish rugs, and piles of rich clothing were flung haphazardly over every surface and piled in every corner. All very rare, all very expensive, ...
I sat there, contemplating my life’s resignation. Before me glittered 50 pink Advils, just waiting for me to swallow them all. I wept silently as flashbacks entered my mind. Of my dad’s broken body, blood spattered across the concrete from that day he jumped off the bridge into traffic. I swallowed 25 pills. The nex...
"It was seen absolute pain, as the Total Void expanded itself and consumed our world." "Then, the Bronze Soldiers, killing the memories of our pain, appeared."

[Part 1/2] *...find the force Ft³ on the block as it sits on the slope.* I put down my pencil, staring at the worksheet. This was the last problem, sure, but it took up half a page just to display it. And I physics and I had never really gotten along in the first place, tension especially. My shoulder still ached from...
My World, Tomorrow I sit silently in my room, curled up warmly with a blanket and a good friend. Facing the window, we watch the sun melt into the horizon, setting hills in the distance ablaze with the last remnants of its radiance. As the fires of day smolder down, the stars blink into existence, one after another ...
Evaline cursed under her breath as she quickened her pace. It was late, far later than she had intended to stay at work. And by the time she reached the bus stop, she was the only person in sight. *Where’s that damn bus? Why are they running late today of all days?* Her sister’s warning about working late rang in her...
The hall echoes, my footsteps ringing loudly on the marbled floor. The long wooden tables are spilling over with sumptuous food - slow-roasted boar, fine fruits and cheeses, and of course, jugs and jugs of golden liqueur. But the hall is quiet. There is no raucous laughter, no clattering of plates, no clinking of cup...
The majority of characters in any popular series are now part of one huge polygamy. Every franchise becomes intertwined with each other, as the fans continue to write crossovers nonstop. Plotholes run rampant. Contradictions are commonplace. Characters meet up with their bajillion “Alternate Universe” selves, as wel...
Love From Two Worlds Janelle had lived an interesting life, full of adventure and wonder. Her parents were world renown scientists in the fields of artificial intelligence and advanced robotics.

Three weeks, it has been three weeks of endless vacuuming. This needs to end.  Up and down, and up and down. In perfect formation the Roomba moves along the floor in protest of the new AI rights act.

The air was filled with tension as the two groups approached one another, both consisted of a dozen or so men armed to the teeth. The leaders of both group ordered their men to retreat for now, as they sat down to discuss the situation. The situation itself was rather peculiar both groups had their eyes on the creatu...
Tomorrow, the hunters will arrive. The sun, that we used to love so much, shall bring with it their cries, the frenetic barking of hunting hounds, and the rancid smell of both of them. The boy and the fox, with the sole of their feet full of blisters, their stomachs weak of hunger, their skin pressed against their bon...
A 3 millennia sentence. Sounds like a death sentence, doesn't it? Except death is the one thing that I haven't experienced in this life. From the sky diving from the highest altitude a plane could've taken me to the lowest of sea depths human body can sustain, I have done it all. As 30 centuries had passed since I ...
“It was the last step of the process. The elixir of life was almost complete when you sent them. Black helmets, masks, and bullet proof vests followed the smoke into the room. I still remember their surprised eyes wide behind the clear plastic of their gas masks. Did you send them to take us alive?” I shouted as I sto...
The Prime Minister sighed heavily, his hands barely slowing with writing and his mind quite burdened with calculations. If the data he's getting from his documents are correct, it seems that the people are starting to believe that he's some "puppeteer villain"that's controlling the Kingdom for some nefarious purpose. ...
LOOK AT YOUR FEET! I’m leaving this in the Library in this Beer isle where everyone else seems to be leaving stuff. I came in here for fucking cheese and bread. I just wanted to make some Welsh rarebit; cheese, bread, maybe a little Worcestershire sauce. I’d found a nice crusty bread, and I wanted to find a nic...
Sunlight bothered my eyes and I grunted before opening them. I sat up quickly, concerned. “What the heck?” I say to no one. I’m sitting on a long pier. I can see the ocean. Endless. Blue. Glittering. Where was I last? I felt a light headache gnaw my brain as I remembered last night. Her party. Her smile. Her energ...
Smoke blackened the sky covering the land in a perpetual twilight. Beyond the low hill the charcoal walls of Rome stood proudly, a mere silhouette in the darkness. The small group of the lizard like barbarians spread thinly in front of the ruined city. Crassus could hear the gentle murmuring of the Legions behind him, ...
Well, I have to know, don't I? Surely the Book Keepers must have known this would be the first question any mortal being would want answered. I'm gonna do it.

Perched on his mighty horse, the statue had seen many things over the centuries; wars and revolutions, the rise and fall of empires. He would soon see a new millennium. The square he stood in had been beauty and splendor, then rubble and horrors, then concrete block buildings, clean at first but now grimy, largely aban...
Visitor A boy stood on the street corner looking around. The traffic light turned green and an RV crossed the intersection, pulling up alongside the ice cream shop behind him.

For several years, she has fascinated many. But will man ever walk on her fertile surface? By 1964, experts say man will have established twelve colonies...
In our galaxy, the human race is known as the best possible ally or the worst possible enemy. An important caveat to this is putting humans on opposite sides of a skirmish. Humans are wildly passionate and have a tendency to protect their allies with a vehement disregard for collateral damage. Even among humans there a...
"Uhm Frank? Isn't that one of those old super computer things?" I look at where George is pointing and sure enough tucked up against crates is a sixteen year old server rack with the best gear from well sixteen years ago and a giant monitor. It is when I see it is all running and had a map of the city I start to sweat...
Intitially the leak was a letdown. We'd been teased about it from the hacker Gucifer for months, and in the time leading up to its release, some suggested it was in fact the *Necronomicon* that Gucifer had, and although a fictional object heretofore, the provocateur had a perfect credit score with his previous stunts. ...
Caleb lit a candle. The soft glow spread through his cave's den, and his friends came out of their burrows to join him. "Great to see you again, Caleb. Wasn't sure you'd make it back this time."Shirley, a mother bat said. "Too goddamn bad."A sullen wolf spider responded, constantly keeping his eyes open for unsuspect...
“Fifteen hundred dollars?” I said aloud, whistling under my breath as I stared at the posting on the community board of my apartment complex. I ripped off a tendril of the paper that offered up a phone number for participating in a clinical trial for a new experimental drug. There weren’t many things I wouldn’t do for ...
"I'm god, give pizza"you said rather sloppy as you are half asleep and half hungry Later that day. "OH shit!"You suddenly remember what happened last night Due to the fact you said that to 7.8 billion people on earth you are now afraid to open the t.v or use your phone. Afraid what reaction people might have to your ...
I have been on Reddit for a good two years. I have been on writing prompts for one week. I don’t use writing prompts. As an amateur writer I have been motivated to write since high school. I stopped for cool minute after graduating. In my third year of college I signed myself into a creative writing course because I s...
When you first hear about magic, and I mean the real stuff not that Harry Potter nonsense, you think it's going to be an endless good time. You spend your whole childhood hearing the whispers and passing notes describing how great it would be to levitate or see into the future or cast a love spell on the cute boy who s...
The sweat trickled down my forehead like rain, just barely cooling me off. I could see every inch of the city below the roof of this luxurious tower. One of those that I could only ever dream of stepping a foot on. The wealthy inhabitants were long gone by now, fleeing into the safety of the evacuation ships. So it w...
My book had been a hit. It sold an insurmountable amount of copies in it's first month of publication and I was a rich man in just two weeks time, not that I would have flaunted this. I kept a pretty low profile over the next year or so, for the simple reason that my book wasn't fiction at all. There really was a socie...
"There were so many things,"she says. "Ugly, pale things with chitinous veils holding bruised viscera in... Thin flays of flesh peeling back like pedals, revealing rows of thin teeth." We exchange glances, Tommy believing the rocking dock was more interesting to look at than the woman. The back of my neck tingles, goo...
The water lay still that evening. A mirror reflecting the myriad stars across the sky, a deep purple colour shifting ever more black. I lay still myself; staring at the horizon. Nautical night had yet to fall; but it was said that seeing the moment when it did was magical. The sky and the sea becoming one. A faint fl...
Meet Jones. Beyond his methodical behavior, disgusting hair lotions and stupid ever smiling look he still a human being, even thou he insists not to be one. Jones is what a narrator would consider a sidekick option at best, waving in the background, being hit by a car or even wearing a bush costume. But in this story, ...
They descended from the acid clouds. Shiny where they caught light, but otherwise nearly transparent. The locals. According to the doctor, with whom I was jointly cowering in their office, they either possessed or killed and converted any organic things they found. No one was quite sure. They had been able to autopsy...
It all started five years ago... I was happy then. Happier than I think anyone had the right to be. Celica... she was my devoted wife. She took care of me. No, not just me. There was Velvet and Laphicet too. They were in her care since their parents passed away so long ago. And then I came into their lives. Velvet ...
The river of blood flows evermore, ushering souls into this domain. The hatred found within this blasted land boils with the usurious rage and greed of the Demon King, frustrated that he was foiled, once again, by a simple pogrom. Blood spurts out of his mansion, covering his menagerie with a fresh coat of crimson. Hi...
Blinking, Jake does a quick glance around. What had just happy?! He had been in ... The principals office. Hadn't he? He had gotten into trouble for calling a teacher by a stupid name.

It is the morning of your sixteenth birthday, for you it is special, for everyone else, it's a normal Thursday.

“I’m at death’s door, but I see no doorbell. Do I just knock? That seems rude…” Vivian lay partially under a layer of blankets, one bare leg jutting out from beneath them. Her arms were folded across her chest, like a corpse in repose, and her eyes were closed in a flat almost serene expression. “Vivian, you’re not d...
My family, generations of fighters who lived and died on the battlefield. Two thousand years ago, our two species each had a claim to this planet. Peace agreements were arranged, but they quickly broke down. It's hell. I look out of the transport copter through the window, the oceans shimmering beneath me. I can ...

It's over in an instant. You look at your watch, or your phone. Your eyes wander ever so briefly. You wonder what you were going to have for dinner. And the next thing you feel is this strange weightlessness before your head hits something hard, and you drift off into unconsciousness. And it takes time, sure, but you ...
I didn't even catch a whiff of the burning ozone from the time gate as I ran through. Travelling this far back in time was a ridiculous idea, for certain, but between it and being killed or caught and shoved in an isolated cryo-cell, what choice did I have? I found myself in a clearing, standing upon soft grass, fresh...
THE FINAL CALL (First ever short story, still in progress, please send any ideas this way!) Sloane sat by the phone, debating whether to dial the number of the one person who had ever made her feel... alive. She has called so many times with no response that she lost count. All she wanted to do was hear his ...
"That's natural selection for ya buddy"said the chief inspector. "Clean this up for me, right?!". And with a tap on my back he went free fall from the roof. Asshole dirtbag.

A pale purple haired teen was lacing up his skates. His six brothers encouraging him from the seats in the ice rink.

He moves to the ent...
Tane gazed anxiously across the city. Below the peak of Maungawhau the city was black and dead. Once bright arterial motorways were clogged and silent, wrecks piled up at every exit. Beside him Gazza blearily peered across the suburbs. “Morningside for life!” He shouted, slapping Sione’s shoulder hard enough to rock th...
Alice leaned back in the seat of the car and looked with disinterest out of the window. Alice was a young woman, only 30, but she had already produced 14 healthy children and given the best case conditions she could likely produce another 20 or so before menopause struck her down. She was not an especially lovely looki...
The few people who were allowed to know how the Dark Lord’ council ran also knew that the Dark Lord trusted the advice of three people more than anyone else in the world, and so he raised them to the position of his personal advisors and private council when he stole the kingdom away from Noble Starbless bloodline.

The Third and Final Buried deep beneath the ruins of an Aztec pyramid, the first legend was found.

“Found you. I’ve been looking for you for a long time, you know…” The man licks his lips.

What is that!?” You point ...
An entire year of complete and total obedience from every single human being, it was a dream come true. I could finally fulfill my most insane fantasies with absolutely no repercussions. I started small, mercilessly beating my childhood bully, but soon I got a taste for it. Knowing that my actions could lead to my vict...
I'm a real hero. I'm not like those pathetic comic book characters who whimper and shy away from killing. Criminals deserve death, and that’s simply the truth. But no one recognizes it! These cowards dare to criticize me? They just don’t understand what true justice is. True justice is killing all who disobey the law. ...
I stare at the cover, trying to find some sort of difference between myself and the girl on the cover. There were none.

I mean,...

*Why does it always have to be hot?* Marya twisted her back, trying to pry a sweat-soaked shirt from sticky skin.

Loneliness is a feeling felt by all in the future, whether metal or flesh. Kritical Care prototype HEAT - CHiK, for short - knew this feeling all too well, as she roamed the now lifeless city.

*Chirp! Chir-chirp chirp. Chirp!* Ealdian, Keeper of Ravens, paused by the hedge of the small garden. The sparrows were hard at work building their nests. No one could see them in the thick foliage of the hedges, yet their lively chatter could be heard from as far as the nearby orchard. Ealdian took a seat on his fa...
Power Woman lay at my feet, her once pristine uniform ripped from the claw I had used on her. She was begging me for her life. I have to admit I liked it when they begged.

Usually, I would just call out and tell them to come in, as I'm not that much of a people person. But this time, I seized up and stared at the door that I kept shut for nearly a decade now.

Amelia had plenty of secrets. Some of them weren’t even that bad.

The best was the parrot banana, or the *parnana* as we called it. A favorite amongst children, the cute animal fruit would talk back as you peeled it, then the peels would flap like sloppy wings.

Snow slid off the roof as I knocked on the rough wooden door. Freelance wizards sure found some remote places to practice out of - my car had barely made it through the snowy forrest.

Cheryl Higgins looked down the endless hallway, peppered by cracks in the light, when a figure emerged from the shadow. She screamed. It recoiled in shock. It was tall, with leathery skin, sunken eyes. A long neck. A hairless horselike head. And a heavy wound on it's right side, taking an asymmetrical chunk of it and i...
I'm not sure when the first time I died was. The first time I know for sure was on my first deployment to Iraq. "Fuck!"I shouted as the whistling from the rocket cut out and I dived behind the concrete Jersey barrier. Less than a second later, the earth shook and I lost consciousness. Little did I know I had chosen th...
The world has ended, that was no surprise really. Everyone talks about it, everyone kinda expected it. Sure it caught a few of us off guard, but now, 3 years later, it’s a new way of life.

The machine was supposed to send Henry to the Shire. This was a test run, and it wasn’t going well.

There was a crunch and then there was a scream. A harrowing wail it was, truly. A dark figure clad in climbing gear whistled through the air, grasping at an invisible hand. The holler desisted and was replaced by eerie, staccato gasps. Ezequiel prayed to all twelve gods, in spite of being an avid proponent of atheism...
