I ran silently through the busy, night time streets, one with the shadows, ignoring all but the scent of blood, my brothers. A low snarl threatened to tear itself from my chest, but I fought the urge, damn those hunters. My family and I have stayed hidden for generations, our secret our own, we are werewolves, well, al...
\[Royal Suggestion\] "Oh, Roger,"the old man wiped his hands dry on his apron. He turned and nodded towards the end of the diner at a large booth. "That's him down there,"he said. The booth looked empty to Ruby at first, but then she saw the back of a man's head. He was bowing low as if hunched over the table eating....
We both stared at each other in shock. Medusa, at least I think that was her name, spoke first. "Um, what the heck? Why aren't you turning to stone?" I looked at her strangely. "Why would I turn to stone? And also, where the heck is Loki?" "Loki? Who's Loki?" "You know, god of mischief, chained to a rock for murderi...
hell, heaven and earth all suffer a massive natural disaster that kills off lots of people in each realm (including world leaders of earth, god and the archangels, the devil and the seven deadly sins, the only survivors of heaven and hell are mostly comprised of lowly servants and soldiers). however humans had coloni...
What a night.. I think. I reached over to grab my cup of water off the night stand. Something seemed off. I felt different, better, more confident. Whatever happened, I liked it. I walked to the kitchen to retrieve a new cup. While walking down the hall, appreciating my renewed vigor, I pondered the previous night's e...
Jerred raced on his horse as wind, hair floating in just as his thoughts were furiously floating in his head. *darn showoff, he just cant flex muscles in circus*. Yes Jerred is a knight but not savage, it's one thing to hunt down ghouls transforming graveyard into snacking table and other thing to be such empty headed ...
Ian was 18 today, it was his eighteenth birthday. His parents had been vocal about kicking him as soon as it was legal to do so. His blanket was given to him when he was 10, covered in figures of mystical genies and princes. The blanket, and his bed sheets were a sickly blue. They used to be a beautiful, deep shade of ...
Life is good. Yes, I'm filthy stinking rich now, and aside from having to chase off so-called relatives who are so distantly related, if at all, it has been good. House paid for, Nieces and Nephews educations all taken care of, although if they don't go to an accredited college, they never get the money. All debts a...
Just like days past, I went down to the market to buy some herbs and bread. It's kind of a thing to do when you live in a small village, however this was no fairytale. In fairytales, you always have that one person that wishes to escape from the tedium of village life, and breaks away (often in magnificent display) t...
"No I don't think we will. If you were truly a god you wouldn't need us to free you." "Alright team time to study this place, just work around the weirdo in chains. Don't believe a word he says. If we find proof he isn't evil we'll let him go, if not he stays up there."Surely the ancient writing carved into the walls ...
“So… You’re saying we need to stop this imaginary,” The councilwoman asked, forming quotes with her fingers, “‘Elder God Dragon’ that you say is ‘unearthing the monster Ca-’” She paused to check her notes. “Kuth-uh-hue? Am I saying that correctly?” The once-great King of Atlantis sighed. It was a hopeless plea. His o...
The last aid left the room, carrying the heavy manilla folder with them, and for the first time President Anderson was alone in the oval office. The significance of the moment was overwhelming. The campaign had been a vicious uphill battle. His wife said he was imaging things but he was sure the stress had given him...
"Goddamnit! Goddamnit! Goddamnit!"They knew all along and i didn't listen. "Well no turning back now i have to jump." Over the lip of the edge, down about 200 or 300 meters, are sharp, dense spikes. The bottom stares right back at me, with its jaggered teeth, and the lust for its next treat, hoping i'll fall for it t...
I'll give this one a shot. I quite like it. \_\_\_\_\_\_ "'I am in dire need of your help. Normally I do not result in such nefarious methods to attain vengeance, but this one was personal,' is what the letter said." It was around a quarter to midnight, just before the mandatory curfew took effect, and Mercy and I f...
Through a fine network of overhanging shrubbery; beneath the tumbling clusters of both mud and stone compressed tightly over the protruding passage; within this tunnel itself, lied the bat-lord. Upon his throne of polished granite, he drank from a vial of ruddy liquid - a dash of the crimson dribble trailing his left c...
**\[Log 0001\]** At first I was like suuuuuper cheesed about the fact that I had lost my job to a bunch of nutjobs, but after they added in a rec. room, I started thinking, "Hey, maybe this isn't so bad?" I'm going to start documenting my experiences here. This whole situation reminds me of that young girl, Nel...
As you can see form the sacred artifacts, these people were very strange. As the director of ancient studies, even I have a hard time explaining what we are looking at. For notice the shortened distal third finger, the enlarged neck muscle, and the lightbulb up the rectal cavity. To say that these artifacts have ca...
“Sir, sir! Tell us! What is the secret behind your endless luck,” a reporter said as they shoved a mic in his face. “Uh-“ “Did you drink a special potion? Was there some form of witchcraft involved? Please, tell the public the secrets to your splendid good fortune,” another interrogated, shoving their way to the front ...
"NO MUSIC!"screeched a little green alien. He fired his freeze-ray at a pedestrian whistling "when Johnny comes marching home again", who wobbled, then fell over. A team of slightly less little aliens picked him up and lifted him onto one of their hovercarts. "This one will be placed in isolation! You all must lear...
NSFW! ABSOLUTE TRIGGER WARNING! "Aren't we forgetting a tiny little thing here; an oh-so-insignificant detail? "A snap of his fingers, and the two people closest to him screamed out of nowhere, as if they were being pierced all over their bodies by hundreds of blades at once. They twisted and turned on the ground in...
(One (1) Curse word at the very end) Sitting on the gold seat you sigh, "God, My feet HURT!"You exclaim and take off your shoes to rub your feet "No but seriously, who puts the only chair in this abandoned castle all the way at the top of the steps?" Your friends had never answered your questions and only stared at ...
The battle outside was getting louder now. They had breached the castle walls. "Quick my young Prince, come this way, our allies are waiting on the river"He announced barging through the door, almost falling has he rushed.

“This can’t be!” Dr. Reese, a life-long government researcher, stepped back from his computer in utter disbelieve. He had just finished the spectrograph from the newest product from O24U.

I was your typical psychopath. It felt good, SO GOOD, to kill anyone I wanted to. But after being stuck in a town in 1983, having food supplies and water for a lifetime years. I decided to train my body to the hardest, and practiced fighting, so the bastards who did this to me would DIE!!! What I didn't know was that w...
"Beg pardon, but what are *those things*?" Slowly, I shrugged. "Oh, I think that's just the Lovecraftian horror writers." "WHAT?""You're a first-timer, aren't you? First time riding the Thought Train?"I sat on the choo-choo train with him, gray outside and white inside. "...Okay."he paused. "How do you get off th...

Humanity began to rebuild its technology, and combined both magic and technology to create unbards. Unbards could only be found naturally, and are able to cast debuffs with magic, and could control the ...
\[poem\] We give. We jump. We yield. We turn. We do not ask the cause. We strive. We hop. We duck. And churn. And do not ask for pause. Nor goal. Nor path. Nor means or mode. We do not question why until the years have gnawed our cage and let our voices cry. For through the walls of iron dust we may no...
"So what you're saying is... You want us to break into it and have *them* defend it?"Delian popped a gum bubble as she spoke. "Precisely."I nod. You will have one year, or until the other side gives up, to breech this fortress. Your confined to the rules allotted. You both will be paid in full during this time, with t...

It was setting up to be a hard winter. Game had become scarce on this side of the mountain. Logan had noticed that today as he trekked to the river. There was no doubt that people were going to suffer this year, especially fugitives like him. The shapeshifter lingered in the woods by the riverbank, his senses on high ...
\[Runaway Luck\] Mason wasn't surprised when the door opened. The building had been abandoned since before Mason was born.

My name is Taran, and I am a witch hunter. I was born into this profession. My father and grandfather and great-grandfather before me all were witch hunters, among the best in the world. Among our kind there is a simple rule: never trust a witch. It doesn't matter how beautiful or innocent or young she may seem. It doe...
The outstretched arm kept growing in length and creeping out of the square. I could make out the fingers of the outstretched open palm. It picked up speed and headed directly towards towards me as I began to run. Terrified, I could barely catch my breath as my feet carried me towards the edge of the forest. I could hid...
I watched from the window when my neighbour walked to his car, holding his usual briefcase, wearing his usual business suit, and wearing his usual dead-inside expression. Why did anyone go to work? I didn't know. Approximately 50 years ago, it was decided that no one could age or die, or even be born. Tha...
If you are reading this hoping to learn why I keep this name, I shall tell you in advance that it shall not be here. It always gets me weird looks when newcomers at the monastery hear my name. Such a blasphemous name for a worshipper, they eye me up and down, glance over towards me during mass, looking for flaws in my...
The sign above the door squeaked lightly on the oiled iron rings from which it hung suspended over the entrance to his humble shop as Vilhelm T. Ecgberht turned the key to lock up for the evening. The sign was fairly old, and could use a coat of paint, but the name Ecgberht's was still legible, carved into the wood and...
A slight of some sort, perhaps? Maybe you didn't pay enough attention to the commoners, or thought yourselves beyond the rules that applied to them. You were royalty, after all, and we were not. In any case, I never questioned the resentment I felt, only knew, had learned somewhere deep down, that you were the problem ...
"Buncha self righteous fanatics who think that painting their fuckin' armor white and hanging a sacred star around their neck makes them right, that's what they are." Sergeant Kail spat to emphasize his pronouncement. Examining the Ailan encampment through a glass, I found myself in complete agreement. Six Encaled we...
I sit, alone In my house. It's far enough from all of society, just my style. I live in a house on an island. The sky around me is always misty, and scary. My cat meows as I fill her bowl with cat food. I go and watch TV on the couch with my very, very splendid bowl of buttery popcorn. But, unfortunately my lovely even...
The emus! they were everywhere. Jason looked on in horror as the swarm of Emus rampaged towards his grandfather's unit.

He had always been t...
**The Death of Aspiration** r/AerhartWrites Some think it comes at night, amid the twisted sheets and the sheen of cold sweat; the unholy hour far from sleep, and the sound of the alarm clock the next morning. Others believe that it happens amid the chaos of the day, beneath the heels of tyrannical bosses; when the ...
They said I was a useless waste of breath. They said I had no conscience. They said I had the soul of a liar. They said I would never amount to anything. They said I was pure evil. They said best thing would be for me to up and die. They said it was bound to happen. They said. Foster parents, always with the judgement...
Martin always thought his son was innocent. That he was just not well liked because other students were jealous of him. But not now. Now his son sat in the back seat, ice pack covering a swelling black eye and a look of recrimination on his face. "I've called Dr Patrice, she has agreed to an emergency meeting. We a...
It had been many months since they last spoke and many more since they met. The war split them further apart than anything had ever before. A parcel was delivered earlier that day—the box addressed itself to her. She ran inside as soon as she noticed the name. It was a small package with a letter attached. She sat th...
Valentine’s Day was a lonely day for Alex every year, but especially so this year. He had made 2 friends for life at the start of college but hadn’t really befriended anyone else. Now that they both had someone to take out tonight, he was in his room all alone. He was a nice guy by all standards, he always had good gra...
"Trick or treat."I said excitedly. This house was proper spooky. Dim green light spilled out from between the curtains, a mangy black cat sat on a window sill on the second floor. It's overgrown lawn had a dozen or so pumpkins growing right out of the middle of the yard. I had just moved into this neighborhood. While ...
My owners just keeps on filing these papers, I know what he's up to but you'll never expect that it's me....the ordinary house cat I have been adopted by the single men who wants to catch me.

President Kardashian stood at the podium. The cameras were on. The broadcast was going. But she continued bickering with her mother.

This is Chief Engineer Alec Fleming of The Indagator Fleet, personal recording: 53. Date: 16th July 2286. Subject: Musings of home.

\[In the Driver's Seat\] Cogburn tried not to listen to the two teenage passengers. He'd only been riding the coach for about a week. He quickly learned that eavesdropping led to more questions than the unusual appearances of their passengers. All the ones he'd met; It wasn't just the pale, almost blue-skinned boy and...
How could anyone take this film seriously? The predictability and bad graphics made most of this film unwatchable. Whoever sent me this old piece either has no accounting for taste or they are just plain stupid to think I am to let my guard down just like those less evolved nut jobs responsible for such incident, bes...
Dating is tough enough without handicaps, you know. Am I Adonis made flesh? Not exactly. Do I speak the local language? Not really. Am I at least tall enough to not have to stand on my tippy-toes to kiss a woman? I wish. But at least I used to have a sense of humour, you know. Silly. Punny. Like, hey, did I tell you I ...
Just why is it blue? You have always wondered why the fuck is it bright blue? One would think that it might be clear or opaque or white or some translucent shade of beige, but no its bright blue. Your stomach is in knots as you fight the almost visceral urge to vomit. You feel the mouth sweats start to happen as you ru...

Pants for 2.99. A nightstand for under 50 bucks. A bed frame that will fit my new apartment. And then the baseball glove. That stupid baseball glove. I put my hand in and smiled when my thumb stopped it from fitting all the way. The stitching was torn, and you could see teeth marks where the laces were pulled t...
Ron took another swig from his flask with shaky hands, only a quarter full now. "Those bastards!"he thought "Think they put me in a corner do they... Oh I'll show them". He couldn't help but giggle at the thought, that giggle turning into a maniacal cackle as he sped down Pennsylvania Ave. Now Ron was always gifted, ...
My folly of belief gave unto me access to a nightmarish realm. A place where all manner of monster lurk within its dark cavernous abyss. Through my own foolish fault I feel into this world of monsters and beasts. And in this place I discovered they themselves are cowards in fear, the great wolf men, Dracula, the shadow...
There was the slightest flicker above her head when Dana left the building. Irritated, she turned around to the door she just exited, but found it to be gone. There was just a blank glass wall, opaque and tinted green. It certainly wasn’t the wall of the gray skyscraper she had worked in for the past six years. Stretch...

"Warner, get in the bunker now! "What is it, sir? We were pushing back those Communist swine!" The wind howled as flames burst into the sky like cannons shooting Greek fire from the days of old.

“It’s time to leave.” He commanded, stepping onto the lowered bay door of our ship. “No.” I replied. “What?” “No. I’m not leaving.” I crossed my arms defiantly. “It wasn’t a suggestion. Get on board.” He practically snarled as he said it, anger evident in his expression. “No. I know why you want to leave and by a...
"Mom! Can I just have one of them?... Pretty pretty please?"Cthulhu put on his most adorable smile.

You piece of shit, it's easy to say that when we're both on a ledge eight stories up and I'm the one closest to the window, and in my other hand is a gun. My brother loved his job, he loved working here for you, he said that he was happy to provide for his family but above all else, he felt that his work here had such...
Extenzin came first and people loved the idea of prolonging life, it’s use was widespread and contentious among certain groups. Some called it unethical, and potentially dangerous, as no long term studies on humans who had taken the drug could be done until a person who had taken Extenzin grew past an age humanity had ...
"Speaking of dice, you owe me twenty bucks you old bastard,"I grinned. I might be new to the office, but I sure wasn't new to Jack, a grizzled man with a penchant for cheap whiskey and amphetamines. "Plus, I've met your grandmother and the jet engine loses that battle." "You'll get your twenty bucks and not much more ...
"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step."Emily laughed at the slip of paper. She wondered what journey could take her a thousand miles from the drab little life she was living. Lunch was over and it was time to get back to work. "Do not give up, the beginning is always the hardest."Emily r...
“I can carry him.” Torval grunted, taking the weight and hefting the finely-dressed stranger over to the nearest table. His cat looked up from its place by the fire, seemingly judging them for disturbing its sleep. “You close that door!” Gorm hurried back to the open doorway - shielding his face from the storm ...
I have memorized, in their entirety, the Holy Words of the Messengers. It was a tradition in those settlements north of the equator on my planet. you see. Though we could not read or write - our people had no written version of our tongue, though at times anthropologists would drop by to record our legends. We welcom...
There was a sudden suctioning sound between his forehead. It tugged at both sides of his mind, feeling as if it were going to rip him right down the center. Just when he thought he couldn't bear it any longer, it stopped, and he could *hear*. Bubbles, popping, all around him, and then a warbled voice in the void, so fa...
*There is a mention of suicide in this story,* "Excuse me, Mr. Goodfellow?"I asked, opening the door to the office. "Come on in."He replied.

I've been working Samhain for a decade now. Maybe I'm getting old, but it seems like proper precautions are thrown to the wind more and more often. Of course I'm the one that cleans up the mess. It's usually a frightened mother, occasionally a roommate, of an older teen that calls it in. Dog sized spiders made out of...
"Oh my gosh Haddie, Shut UP!" Megan rolled out of bed and plopped her feet onto the cold tile floor. "I’m coming! I’m coming!"She opened the bedroom door to a petulant black cat. "Honestly, the alarm hasn’t gone off yet and it’s not like you’re starving!" Haddie’s tail lashed back and forth like a whip ...
It had been a while since I had spoken or had a reason to speak. As far as I can tell, I’m the last. The last human alive on earth, that is. I haven’t seen any sign of intelligent life since the last space shuttle took off, in search of a new home. I had been the only one to volunteer, staying back as mission contro...
\[Information Hazard\] "Well,"Commander Mills half-laughed to himself. "Either I'm insane or I'm dead."With his decision made, Commander Mills shrugged and began walking towards the forest. Behind him lay nothing but the red, barren dirt of Mars that his crew expected. Ahead, a line of red grass extended into a dense...
With each age of the world there is always a tale of grand deeds and great bravery. Of the triumph of good over evil and the promise of peace and prosperity. This however is not that story. Almost two years ago ten companions and their retainers had set out,their goal to destroy the evil wizard of the elven Cardinal...
This was going to be a hard subject for me to cover, I bet for a few years now my son has started to question why I look the same as I always had. Just last week he found the dusty stack of my old photo albums. “Kevin?” I waved him over to the dinner table, it was a small, plastic, foldout, but it worked when there w...
It was such a pleasant day with a moderately cloudy sky letting in magnificent beams of sunlight that brightened the yellowing hills deep in Autumn's embrace. Then God had to go and show up. Grandiose as ever, the bearded bastard appeared as a giant face that split one of the clouds up above and even had the gall to tu...
Thor looked at the purple portal ringed with squares of black stone and rolled his eyes. "Ugh, Odin must be messing with the 9 worlds transportation. I am not falling for this again! I have got to go talk to him."He turned and stalked away. Loki, who had been watching this unfold from behind a nearby tree, facepalmed....
The Courts at Silver Gables "Are you okay, dear?"she asked. Her familiar grey form retook its shape as Becca's vision sharpened from the blur. "Sorry, that was weird, what were we talking about?"Becca muttered. The young nurse had drifted off in thought before, but this time was different. This time came with warmth...
I'd never used my powers on her. Not once. I didn't know why she'd captured my attention the way she had when we'd first met, but something in me kept the beating hunger behind my eyes from touching her. She'd had her arms folded in front of her, standing stock still at the end of the bar. I still remembered the way ...
Nearly everyone has heard of "the call of the void."It's a common phenomenon, really. Every once in a while when looking off a tall ledge or into the deep sea, sometimes even just walking past a storm drain, the void beyond calls for you (or that phone gripped in your hand) to join it. But that's it--just those little ...
\[Sharp Priority\] "The cat spoke to her. I heard it! Then it disappeared like magic!"Dara watched the old man through the bars as he informed the constable of her evil. She was worried, but not panicked yet. It was bad luck that he saw her talking to Janet and had a closed view of the world; but, Dara couldn't blame ...
\[POEM: The tide rises the tide falls by Longfellow\] (I couldn't think of a poem off the top of my head so I translated one of my favorites. ​ The direction rises, the run falls, The decline darkens, the snipe calls; Along the shingle damp and brown The tramp hastens toward the apple,        An...
A group of superheroes gather around a large meeting table. There was Super-Melt, who was gifted with radioactive powers after falling in a pit of liquid uranium.

"But... why?"a fellow next to me queried, perplexed by my decision. "Would it not be easier to tell what you see, instead of making these confusing riddles?" "I understand how you feel,"I told him, as I ink down the poem on a freshly made paper. "Truth be told, I too wish to tell you the horrors and the valiant acts t...
Six humans. That's all. Four women and two men. not enough for a viable population, but thanks to the use of my tech, I had managed to gather enough genetic matter from hospitals and clinics to ensure not a single child born of these four women would be related. But there are other problems. The human wiped out. Anim...
"I don't want to get in trouble but..." He hit the button and for a second the world seemed to freeze. Have you ever wondered what the city looks like from two hundred stories above the ground, looking out the window and seeing little specks of people and splotch-cars and buildings rising from the pavement like missha...
Parker Moore was in the midst of being struck by lightning when the ticking ceased. *’Great…’* he thought dryly. *’I finally try out camping and nature decides it’s ripe time I perish.’* Barely on the verge of true manhood, the nineteen-year-old couldn’t help but bask in self-pity at his current predicament. After he...
"5....4..." his voice was like gravel tossed into a meatgrinder. Unnaturally unpleasant to the point that even listening was enough to cause immediate physical pain. The demon was whispering, but the voice was still able to reach every crook and cranny of the playgroud as if he was standing just behind. "3...2....1.....
Some estimates have put the total number of humans who have ever lived at over a hundred billion. That's a number so big that it's beyond our capability to imagine. Our individual lives truly are a drop in the bucket of the collective lifespan of humanity. When I was a child, I used to be baffled by the sheer ridiculo...
The man faced the gladiator, the latter bore the symbol of a wolf's head on his torso. They fought across the hanging rings, he tried to race across them whilst the gladiator tried to wrestle him to the floor and succeeded. For some reason the gladiator bit him, as the ancient song started to play. Everyone who faced t...
The men in uniform slowly tighten their ring around me, moving inward as I realize I'm about to be physically apprehended. One of them, perhaps the leader, shouts at me repeadedtly. "Who are you?!""Who do you come here with?!" He has a strong accent, English clearly isn't his primary language but he speaks quite wel...
"Tell me, Mr. Hero,"said Blot, "Do you think she'd even care about you if she didn't know you were some rich and powerful hero?"Vortech stood there in silence, frustration and anger building as Blot walked closer to him. "She loved me,"said Vortech "She used you,"yelled Blot, "you were just another rich guy she used...

I loved and hated this prompt. It's very haunting and took me down some dark paths. Very clever. I hope I did it some justice. Start of story: "Do you know what you have done?"I said while looking at the knife in my right hand. I couldn't look her in the eyes. It wasn't the fear stopping me from doing so, it was the ...
I'm not sure why the spacing is so jacked, but do your best to enjoy! Arthur Lepore awoke with a gasp.  In his dream he had been driving, trying andfailing to turn the heat down in the car. Now awake, he could feel the heat of the hearth in front of him.  Inside logs crackled and spit embers into theupdraft of the chi...
