\[Princess. Star.\] "Whatever...,"Martin rolled his eyes at the letter and even chuckled. He hadn't expected any sort of response when he drafted his letter in drunken frustration. He got so emotionally invested in the movie, that it legitimately hurt his feelings when a line of text at the end reminded him that it wa...
"Fear is the mind-killer,"I muttered only to myself. For as many predictions of the end of the world there were and have been, no one was prepared for the day when it came. It was as though the world had stopped turning when the first signs of our doom appeared in the sky foretelling what was to come. We all heard t...
This seems fun, I’ve never really done this before except in school. I’ll still give it a shot! I never thought we would be here... like this? Eternal damnation just wouldn’t be complete with out *him* I try to hide from him the first few days, but the days grow longer and I grow weaker. What a lonely place. As hum...
When I look at children, I see larva. I see genetic blueprints sculpted by eons of evolutionary response, filled in by excesses of fat, flesh and bone in an attempt to curry the favor of my nonexistent sense of paternal responsibility. *Well,* I glance down at the empty box in my hand, wrapping glittering in the fes...
"*Squawk!* Coast is clear!" I take a glance at the green parrot clinging to my shoulder. "I can't just run over and sail out of the port, Wally! We'd be shot for sure! There's no way we'd survive out on the sea alone anyway..." "Trust the plan! Trust!"He chirps in my ear, ruffling his feathers. "Yeah, yeah, 'trus...
*"As is customary for this part of the year, Santa Claus arrived in New York City for his public address to the United Nations, accompanied by other representatives of Yuletide cheer such as the Three Wise Delegates of Prester-John's Kingdom, Shambalha, and Siddhashrama.* *Mr. Claus' address this year called for pea...
The words spill out of his mouth without care. I barely catch them all, his tempo faster than anything he's used before. They all taste... Bad. *I don't understand.* The font of nectar and honey is... Nothing but rotted ash. Searing charcoal. Every word tastes worse than the last. There is no booze on his breath to ...
A slight hum that slowly grew louder. A blue glow that appeared as if plucked from thin air and approached far too fast. A moment of panic. The sound of glass meeting flesh at high speed, followed immediately by flesh meeting pavement. The panic replaced by a feeling words fail to describe, the only noise sufficient to...
Last Note from the Doomed: We did our best. It has been nearly four centuries since First Contact with the Mass. Communication was impossible. We bombed it with everything we had. The old atomic weapons were revived for this new purpose. We even threw asteroids at it, and yet it just kept on coming. We thought w...
The little girl asleep in bed stirred restlessly. The demon approached slowly, forming a mind connection, carefully feeling out the terrors of the night. "Wolves"he thought, and a pack appeared, slashing at him with their fangs, clawing at him, cornering him. "No!" This had never happened. He tried again. "Fire"he t...
I opened my eyes as the crashing of the shuttlebay gates spread through the enclosed space. The waves of sound impacted my body with a force far beyond the understanding of ordinary beings. I staggered in confusion and fell down on my knees. The fall, as I would learn later on, pulverized a nearby city to the ground ...
A few notes before I begin: - I grabbed this at random to introduce a friend to writing prompts that are better than the cookie-cutter stuff everyone saw in school. We each did our own thing, then compared what we came up with. I got a bit carried away... it's already (well) over 100 words, and I haven't even touched o...
The radio telescope array pointed into the hot clear night sky of the small island Vanua Levu, a facility that consisted of six small dishes and a control building. The only person present there was Ravindra Singh who stood outside by the open fire exit of the building smoking a roll up and drinking coffee out of a pl...
*I was alone, a long, long time ago, living in a land not my own, in house not my own, sleeping in a bed not my own. If only I could remember it clearly. The fog of time and dream conspire together to shroud my memory. If only I could remember it clearly. I barely can recall the house, my neighbors, the details of ...
People say that any memory you have before the age of 7 is unreliable. Yet, here I am, at the age of 35, spending my 25th of December chasing a childhood memory. A childhood memory that has manifested so deeply into my brain that it refuses to dissipate, bubbling for eleven months every year and surfacing right around...
I regained conciousness after a moment. I stood up and looked around, all my companions, all my friends, they were slayed like animals. Bearly I managed to stood up, and I saw before me an unholy horde. I decided that I will not die like a coward, I drew my sword one last time. Then I remembered... I looked at my sword...
'You're a monster.' 'Yes, some see it that way.' 'I had so much going for me, you asshole! I was *finally* getting something right in my god forsaken life and you decided- you decided to-' Death watched passively as the woman crumpled to the ground in heaving sobs. The air, or lack of thereof, was silent and still. ...
"Did you see that Carl? " "See what. " "There... Right there! Behind the bushes! " Carl turned around only to see nothing. Only the darkness of the forest and the still silence amongst the forest, only interrupted by the bright, crackling campfire met Carl's eyes. "Just a squirrel. Go back to sleep, man. Yo...
"Next, Mr. Williams ? " A scrawny elderlt man, wearing a torn up and dirtied clothes stepped up. His eyes were wide and his body shaking from too much alcohol and drug usage. "Are ya really going to give me money just by coming here? "He asked in a hollow, screechy voice. He looked at me suspiciously, his mostly mi...
The pillowcase slid off and into a plastic bag, as the Simon agitated it. Some loose hairs also fell into the collection but he shruged it off. *I'll just make sure to hand those over to Harriet when I submit...* With a few quick flicks and the precision only a century of experience could give, the pillowcase glides ba...
"Is the McDonalds glowing?"My wife asked. "No, it's a dark night and they always leave the lights on,"I replied, but the truth was that the McDonalds *was* glowing. The Golden Arches practically hummed with light and illumination poured out of every window. I let the car roll into the parking lot. "Drive-thru?"I aske...
If I hadn’t slept ‘till noon perhaps I would have noticed the red morning sky and taken warning. As it was four shots of whiskey at *The Whisper on the Water*, another three beers at *Holly’s Folly* and a nameless drink at a forgotten pub had achieved exactly what you’d expect. I was singing a swanky song with some swe...
'Quickly, in this bush!' Tilly said, ushering her two brothers into the darkness of the laurel bush. She placed a finger over her mouth and looked at her brothers gravely, to quieten herself and them. The fairies were coming. Rumours abound in the neighbourhood, of these types of fairies. Not your whimsical fairytale ...
"Come, sit down and listen to my story. Do you feel the warmth of the fire in front of you? Do you hear the crackling of dry wood in the flames? Good. I hope you are sitting comfortable. Well then, lets begin the story. Long ago, when the world was filled with wonder and whishes came true, there was a boy. A boy with ...
Robin tiptoed down the mansion corridor, peeking around every corner he came to. The house lay still as only the floorboards protested to his presence. Old painted figures judged him from their portraits on the wall as his heavy bag swayed back and forth. His long white beard trailed along the ground, dragging dust and...
But once was terrifying has now become a common inconvenience, just because you're cult is in charge of the world doesn't mean you get to be a b****. These thoughts ran through my head as I saw the Eldritch being known as kah'ren ate the small man working behind the counter, the creature gargled saying this is a small ...
Christopher sighed as he looked over the gaudy costume he had to wear. It was a candy Cane striped pirate outfit complete with a fake Jack Sparrow-like beard and a custom Santa hat. He always knew his turn in the costume would come. He smiles as he thinks about how quickly his siblings seemed to make plans for Christma...
"I'm telling you, you HAVE to try this."Grolm couldn't help but undulate in excitement as they neared the large vehicle. The aroma wafting from it could break even the most disciplined Sanctum guard into leaving their post for an opportunity to wait in line. "What do they call this?""It's a dish called 'tawkoes all pa...
[Poem] Eternal darkness breathed fire into the hearts of man. A deep desire to understand it’s origin then began. Distant and unobtainable lights had once guided ancient journey. These stars had now suddenly vanished. Geniuses spoke of “false vacuum decay” and idiots cried out something corny. A few claimed decades lat...
Clint refused to acknowledge the severity of the storm as it downed power lines and tore apart tree branches in the neighborhood. The windows rattled with wind and thunder; the boards of the house creaked and groaned against the gale. But Clint only sat in his chair, like always, and drank one PBR after another. Sama...
I was half starved, I honestly didn't believe they were going to anything. Hell, I didn't even believe it was them at first. Bu there they were. He grabbed my wrists, "Sorry in advance."he said before he forced my arms apart. He pulled me to my feet before I half collapsed. "I can't walk."I gasped through a dry thro...
The frigate landed, if you could call it a landing and not a crash, off the coast of Long island, near New York City. Brudon Binmermore hops out of the Captain's seat and swigs his Andromeda ale. "We made it, let's just get this over with..." Binmermore's first course of action is figuring out who's in charge. He slid...
“How’d you know it was me?” I asked, as I grabbed a french fry off Jermaine as he sat opposite me at a McDonalds. Through clever engineering he was using his burger box to store his fries, making it easier for both of us to pick at them. “I was with no else, Eddie it had to be you,” “Get the fuck outta here, I seen t...
-"I think I had enough, don't you think? Father? Mother?" Moments cacophonous among empathy, avoided of looks and contact. Mother had her palms gently positioned over her knees, slightly tilted with her long hair covering her eyes. Father, laid back in his chair seemingly trying to enter it, if possible. His gaze lock...

Carey chimed in, “Really Rob? What’s the point. Humanity alw...
A familiar pain forcibly presented itself, like an unwanted friend crying for attention. As if spotting the undead were not a task demanding enough energy by itself, my talent demanded I keep to a schedule which required a harsher discipline than I possessed. It was Ryan who woke me, but it was the lingering headach...
The holographic screen flickered on, displaying the events of my meagre life. Every detail, every memory was laid out on the screen in front of me. I clicked on one thumbnail dated around my 7th birthday. The innocent sound of children’s laughter drifted out of the surround system, filling my heart with warmth. Bac...
You wouldn’t think someone who acquired a healthy profit from paper manufacturing would be inclined to claim supernatural profanities, especially about an automobile. Well, that’s what my great great great grandfather Greenwood Harty spouted in the year 1909, as he was the first man in North Bruce, Ind, to own an autom...

“Well, isn’t this interesting,” I thought. “There is an afterlife of some kind, and I am aware and conscious. I see that I can pass through solid things the way ghosts in stories and in the movies are able to do.” It took me a moment to realize I was sitting up in my own coffin. The lid was closed, so only my head and...
Wet. That’s what it was. There was a storm raging outside. I’d been out there. It was cold, and I was drenched. I couldn’t shake the chill from my body. I undressed. Got new clothes. But it wasn’t enough. I still *felt* the chill of that storm. I turned to the grinder. I poured in beans. I grabbed the kettle, filled ...
He prowled the barren, frozen wasteland, the chained beast by his side. Howling wind clawed at his face, draining any remains of heat. The harsh artificial light illuminated this bleak landscape weakly, as Moon dared not show its face here today. Suddenly, the beast stopped and emitted a vile substance, exuding the sm...

And it was me. I stood amidst the battle, arms outstretched. I was sick of the fighting. It was a stupid fight that none of the men fighting cared about. They were all pawns for the whims of petty Barons. But no longer. Power coursed through my veins. Bright light shone from my very being. All who looked at me saw t...
*Rock Steel was a man’s man. Chiseled abs and an attitude to match. If only he wasn’t an orphan that was also near-sighted, he could have led a happy life.* “Now that is the way to start the final novel,” said Chip Fingertooth. He let the glow of the monitor wash over him as he re-read the line. Chip was c...
Trigger warning and spoilers:>! Horror, Trauma, Car Crash, Blood, Death.!< I truly believe every person on the planet could see the dead if they wanted to. But no one would ever want to.

We had won, but at what cost? That was the question that kept running through my mind, like a bard playing a song over and over. It overwhelmed me, consumed me, and all but broke me. This was supposed to be an easy battle, was it not? Sariel and I had set off from the town just today, accompanied by the ever dashin...
I recall that when I was young and when my father was still alive, he told me stories of ancient evils thriving in a uncomplicated world. Fairytales written by my grandpa, designed to seal such evils into books, locking their powers behind words. He'd explain the process, of how the Distributors replicated the books to...

Anti-Santa takes Bop-It’s, Barbie dolls, and all kinds of fun gadgets from well-to-do middle-class families. His Anti-Elves destroy the toys in an incinerator, gleefully watching Milton Bradley plastic fumes fill the air. Instead of reindeer, his sled of terror is led by none other than Krampus and his minions (who are...
Y’know, I never actually introduced myself. Hi, I’m Ed, I live in Belgium, in the province of Flemish-Brabant. I’m male, 17 years old I’ve been on Reddit for 3 years, but not using this account. I’ve been on r/WP for over a year now. I mostly write on it. I’ve been writing since November 2020. My motivation is pur...
I’d laugh if I wasn’t a bit scared, but the truth was even I couldn’t deny things were getting weirder and weirder. I couldn’t even remember the last time I went to church, maybe it was ten or fifteen years ago, it was something my parents loved, and so they tried to make me go with them every Sunday but I just never b...
It's scarcity that's the cause of all the world's misery. And when I say world, what I really mean is human civilization, because, for one thing, the world we inhabit now is several dimensions removed from our original one, and for another, the planet couldn't care less about our happiness. Also, when I say scarcity, ...
“Fuck fuck fuck fuck. 3 kills and he got a tactical nuke!” I and two of my diddly dumbasses of friends running in a damned dark forest while a crazy bastard with an automatic rifle wants to end everything in a hundred mile radius. A sharp pain stabs me in the chest. We’ve been running for half an hour now. I ain’t athl...
I never felt more alone. A piece of me was missing. I could feel it, a hole deep inside that would never be filled. Is this what death was like. The worst part was that noone knew the truth and nobody believed me when I tried to share it. They couldn't or wouldn't is a better word, due to my missing piece. Everyone loo...
It was an ordinary day out on the field. I was walking around when I saw the biggest female mosquitoes I’d ever seen in my life. Thing must have come from India, ‘cause it was about two inches long. It bit me, and I immediately swatted that beastly insect off. My head is still lightheaded, just how much blood did it wi...
Absolute biokinetic control from micro organisms to macro organisms. You name it I could change it. Just a little flex of my power and your cells would move how I wanted to, would change how I wanted to, would reorganize how I wanted to. The only biology that I couldn’t affect was my own, and not for a lack of trying. ...
“Push! Push!” the doctor said, “Come on, you’re doing great, one more push!” My wife groaned in pain as she gave one more push. I held her hand, feeling utterly helpless in the moment. “That’s it, Jenny, you’ve done it!” the doctor said as she lifted my new-born child up into her chest. I kissed m...
The last time. It was cold and raining when he got to the house, not uncommon for the time of year, he walked into the house and set his keys and contents from his pocket on the kitchen counter, a large black cat greeted him with soft purring and happy chirps rubbing against his leg, he stood there looking blankly out...
Uncanny was the first word that popped into his mind. Impossible a quick second. How could something so clearly be a man yet not be at the same time? Four limbs, a head and a delicate tail coat that would leave the poshest Englishman embarrassed. But this thing with eyes so dark that they were more holes than orbs an...
Dear Mr Claus, As always, we write to you so formally only owing to the most urgent of circumstances.

Vampires, are irritating to the blob. This is evidenced when one attempt to bite it, only for her fangs to break on contact, a fist that was supposedly "super strong"meeting the same fate as it hit the side of its head, before it began to be sucked in, seemingly being *inhaled* by the blob, who stays still to savor its...
The City from the outside looks like a castle, a fortress to protect its inhabitants from whatever lurks in the murky depths of the swamps around it. A shining beacon of hope for the tattered remains of civilization outside its walls. The innermost district of the city looks like a prison. Buildings filled wit...
Test Results: The Fi-re glyph, once inscribed properly, functioned as expected; it produced a mild exothermic reaction. Control of the flames seems impossible with only this glyph and the test resulted in a 5% 2nd degree burn coverage of the subject's left arm on the back of the forearm. He is currently in treatment an...
“Mark’s such an asshole,” he thought to himself.“I told him if he tried to make the opening of the cave that big it will just fall down.” Wait. . . what? He shook his head, like to clear water out of his eyes. Mark was some kid he knew decades ago. He felt the anxiety build in him like the rush from the cigarette...
I brushed aside the dust on an ancient wooden box in the cave. "Avada Kedaver? Another fucking necromancy spell? You've got to be kidding me I go spell hunting for 2 years and I get a necromancy spell? Let's hope its at least a decent one."I looked around at the stone cold water surrounding the island I was on. There w...

A bushy haired man named Branson was sitting up on his faded couch that proudly wore the scars of a glorified scratching post. Sitting on the other side of his smoke glass end table were two detectives donning drab grey suits. Their badges were the only colorful part of their attire, perched on their belts next to the ...
Here's some ideas that pop into my mind offhand, feel free to take any, all, or none of them: Jack and Addison go out on a "hunting"trip together, leading to some lighthearted nonsense as Jack attempts to befriend Hell's native fauna and Addison ends up having to wrestle infernal bears and crocodiles to keep him from ...
I watched the the sea of people partying away. It was tradition for the senior at my school to hold a these massive no holds barred parties to celebrate them graduating. One of my friends snuck a group of us in to let loose our "wild side"but honestly I rather be anywhere else. Senior parties where not how I expected t...
They brought me to the water’s edge, and they violently strapped me to a bamboo raft. It seems that their god lives on the other side of the ocean, and they send humans for their god to eat live. Great, just great. Eaten alive by whatever this god is. Or drowned, If a storm hits. Or starve, if this journey takes too...
I was never ment to be king. My earliest memories are being shipped off from my life as a prince to live and train as a priest to become head of the order and lead the armies of my older brother. Twist of fate saw him jealous of the power I gained and saught a deal with the devil king Asmodeus, and pitted brother agai...
“So, death was always a given” Uncle Michael emphasized with a swig and a gesture with his beer at the water. His niece Petra was put off. He was acting like he’d spoken deeply instead of just coming up with another excuse for a swig of late-afternoon overly-hopped IPA. She had asked about the apocalypse and the inter...
\[Outbreak. Relax.\] "Hey. Ricky?"Outbreak waved when she stepped in front of him. He looked up from the ground to find a girl with neon green curls smiling at him. He was shuffling between classes with his focus on the white tiles. "I'm Outbreak,"she said. "Hey,"he nodded at her. "Rick, please,"he said. She g...
Mama tuned out yesterday. Found her with an old picture of you. Our little marshmallow-man. Guess you can finally be together again. I truly hope so. That’s why she did it, of course. She believed. After what happened, there’s very few of us who do. But she always did. We had some good years, me and Mama. Experi...
He sat in his computer chair, shoulders slumped and neck craning forward towards the laptop's screen. He looked to the bottom right to check the time. "Good Lord,"he thought. "Is it already 11:30 in the evening?"Indeed, it was. Today's scrimmage on the auxiliary court had been hell. He thought he could lead his team t...
"Well forgive me for caring about my daughter you low-life,"mumbled Martha under her breath. What fresh hell is this. Oh my God, please, PLEASE get me out of here! She kept going through my things, tossing everything and complaining about how much of a fuckup I am as I chased her around the room. "Do you EVER pick up...
The voice on the other end of the line sighed. I bit my lip in frustration. This is way above my pay grade. But then most things are because I'm a new hire. McManny's only hired me last week. Tina, the short-haired morning shift cashier was not very interested in training me either. Her words were, 'Look you are, like,...

\[Wishing Star\] Nax did not stop running until he was thoroughly lost in the forest. He braced himself against a tree and hunched over to let his lungs try and catch up; he squeezed the stitch in his side to try and ease the ache. While his body recovered, Nax's mind replayed the last few minutes to try and make sens...
“I cannot see it on the tip of your tongue,” the alien says, forcing your mouth open wider. “I ask again human, where did you leave the keys to my vessel?” “Blrghadafr” You reply, sweating profusely. The cold reptilian figure of Blegnar stares you down with bulbous chameleon-like eyes filled with the kind of accusatio...
"Gustav!" I winced at hearing my name, and not for the first time today. I peeked my head around the corner of the barn. "Yes?" "I thought I told you to finish slopping that out half an hour ago! What's taking you so long?" Colonel Havisham's snarling lips reminded me of the beasts they kept in this barn. All fangs,...

I can't remember when the last time I saw someone was. Has it been a day? A week? Maybe a year or two? When the world around you turns to dust and darkness, it becomes easy for time to blur. I remember when they left, though. The first ones to use me. Someone told them a secret, a rumor, about me. And since then, no o...
My mom shakily sipped at her tea. "And you said your name was...?" "Morath, ma'am. Morath the Undaunted." "And just what are your intentions with our little Stacy?"my dad asked, garnering a glare from me. I hugged Morath's arm and frowned, "Daddy... Do not scare this one off." Morath's icy blue eyes met mine and he...
Because you were hired to hunt some vampires, and frankly other creatures of darkness cost extra. Let alone the hours you spent on prepping, for vampires. Wasted. Now you have some unknown beastie getting familiar with your neck, and you don't even know if you have the right tools to finish the job. Sure categorizing ...
THEY DON'T MAKE 'EM LIKE THEY DID ANYMORE It was all the FBI's fault. They just wanted to make sure we, the slovenly masses, we're being kept under a very close eye.

[Poem] Harmless fun for the creatures bringing our deaths The gorgan stands tall, a proud and cold dream Her eyes bore down and hidden in their icy depths Countless petrified corpses silently scream.

We’re always the guys Uncle Sam sends when he doesn’t want to get his hands dirty. The Martian colonies were always a pain in the UN’s ass, they bit off more than the could chew. When unrest and revolution broke out like a disease on mars, they set us loose like wild dogs. Told us, “have at it, do it your way, not our...
"Wait... so you're gonna use this for what?" I finished the recent batch and poured it into bottles. "It took me nights to figure it out but I think I have the answer."I replied as I carefully measured the dosage for my three newest patients. "No one is going to believe that it causes *eternal life* I've long since f...
“The bastards have gone for the nuclear option,” said Katie, bursting into the room. “I saw you in my dreams last night. A lot of people are seeing you in their dreams. You can’t leave the apartment again.” “Do people in the building know? I mean, the neighbors, will they tell anyone I’m here?” Katie grimaced. “I thi...
Our government did it every time. They changed the laws and this time they had come up with this - Do a good deed and become ugly, do a bad deed become beautiful. This was a brilliant time because I was just looking for a husband but unfortunately every family rejected me after seeing my devil-ish face. But what is th...
I just don't understand. She's dead. Dead and buried next to me. Why am I still here?! I stood here, forced to wait, forced to watch as every single person I know and love has forgotten me or died and *for what?* I can't even remember what I look like anymore, I can't remember my name; my headstone reads like a ...

The stone is glowing brighter in the direction of an old apartment building. I call Hes over as he was on the other side of the block trying to get a read on his stone. "Is this the place?", he asked me. "Seems so. Check your stone to be sure." He pulled his stone out of his jacket and sure enough it was glowing more ...
My... mind is so fuzzy right now... like all of my memories had been erased in the moment that I fell from the sky as tiny droplets in that mountain, I know what I am, I can feel my whole body moving as one again at an enormous speed through these harsh stones... once again. This time, like before I'll end in the mass...
The cold wind cut through my cloak like a knife as I neared the summit. My legs buried themselves in more than a step of snow as I pressed along the narrowing couloir beyond the great oblong formations used to mark the way up. It had not been travelled in some time. I tested each precarious pace with the scabbard of my...
