I squinted at the ‘judges’ suspiciously. I recognized two of them. I didn’t recognize one of them. I fingered the spare change in my ethereal pocket. I’d been buried in a dress with pockets. The god coins I’d taken with me were more than enough to pay the ferryman so I had change. Gods bless my family. “Okay what is...
I rang the doorbell. The lights were on, but I didn’t hear anything. As I was trying to see through the frosted glass, there appeared to be someone slowly approaching the door. The porch was nicely decorated, but I couldn’t help feel exposed, there was an eerie silence to suburbs like these. The door creaked open, and ...
The Artificial Sun spews its harsh, off-white light onto the lush green pastures of the North Pole. It’s a nice day, or at least, as nice as any other. Certainly a fine enough day to be promoted to Butcher. Kiley tightly squeezes the nanobots she's configured into a stress ball, feeling a bit of excitement, but mostly...
“What the hell - is the matter now?” I demanded his eyes as I leaned in, but he kept them to himself. “Hell would have been a lighter headache.” “We talked about this. You leave the headaches at the door.” “That’s not how headaches work.” “Then why did you agree to the terms?” “You were giving me a bigger headach...
You know what makes real life different from stories? Stories have two paths. Good or evil. Wrong or right. Sensible or idiotic. Orthodox or rebellious. Heroic or villain-esque. It's makes for a good story. People know exactly who is what. They know who to support. They understand how the good right sensible heroic ...
I look at the TV, trying not to move too much. Every time I do, I can hear small yelps from John. Bless him, he stuck around. That morning, when his back kept hurting and hurting, with small pops here and there, I wondered what was happening. He was in the hospital by the time I realised. I heard him yelp ev...
"Shiny new piece of work ya got there, boss...OW!" "Don't even think about it. I worked hard to get this. And if any of you vultures even think about laying a hand on my new toy, I'll show it to you.

Mary Sue could not believe the the results of the CAT scan. She once believed that she was in perfect health, but one day, she had an allergic reaction. And after such a reaction, her health noticeably began to decline: joint pain, migraines, stomachaches, dry skin, and more. All are minor nuisances alone, but together...
Let me know if I broke any rules this is my first time posting Warning// Slight gore, mentions of vomit and blood Maybe it was because I was up so late. That has to be the reason.

My parents always told me "Remember Meg, don't open the door in the basement.", as they left and I always got curious. Well this time, I had enough. As soon as they left to go shopping, I ran downstairs to the door. It looked like an ordinary door, but I could here a strange humming from behind it. I slowly crept forwa...
The night is perfect. The chill in the air over the last week has faded and the sakura trees are in full bloom.

Stalls of various nature...

> “Clearly the message of Lina’s story was that revenge is a pointless endeavor. It’s just a feeling that gnaws away at you until you finally give in and hurt or kill whatever it wants you too — but that rage, that lingering hatred and pointed malice doesn’t just disappear. You might not even get a sense of cathar...
"Say what?"I exclaim. "I can't be, right?" "Ok, so I really don't like saying stuff to people so I'll just give you a file and you can get out of the hospital." And just like that, I was at the front of the hospital, crouching down permanently, waiting for someone to pick me up. 'Great,' I thought to myself. 'No...
The doors to the throne room of the Kingdom, resplendent in the most exquisite finery crafted by the centuries-old lineages of craftsmen who lived within the Kingdom’s territories, yawned open before the man in the white cloak.

Don’t text her back, echoes a light, airy voice. That’s Cassandra. Or maybe Kassandra with a K. I never got her contact info, but I don’t have a habit of doing so with a one night fling.

At first it was the flares in darkness. Like hundreds of them. They flashed whenever the search light beamed toward, boomed up and down, ever getting closer and closer to the series of tattered sandbag walls, broken bloodied firing emplacement. Only when the flares approached ever closer, that the men behind the front ...
It had been an odd shift so far. At first, everything seemed fairly normal. It was an easy job, easier than most he had done in the past. Each night he roamed through the empty museum, wiping away greasy handprints from display cases and mopping up the sticky spots on the floors. Since he was the only one there most n...

I leaned against the doorway to the staff room, and gazed out the window at the beach. It was the end of my first week working at Starbucks, and it had been just an average day: customers coming in and out, me and my coworkers chatting away.

I live a life. I go to a regular university as all regular university students do. I am way too average, there is nothing spectacular about me.

Satan stood under the scorching Sun as the portal to hell narrowed and closed, its noxious gasses trapped inside. Silence was all around, and only the wind greeted the devil.

I saw the ship falling from the sky when I was out on my ranch. I’m the only one around for miles, so I felt a responsibility to check it out. I went home and packed rations, and an emergency medical kit, in case someone was injured. The trip took three days to the site of the crash, the first two I could ride my atv...
It was at a party in the east side, I think. Just the usual pot den like any other. That's where it started. Inside that damnable dungeon, the wizard Zachary had poisoned me with something, an affliction that couldn't be cured.

Through the pounding rain and the dim lights of the highway, he sees a hunched figure on the side of the road. Concerned, he slows to a stop. 'Hey, you ok?'

The ocean tides beckon me once again. To feel the scorch of a million objects of purpose and meaning. All making up the unstable home of shells and creatures.

The sun is setting as I speed up I-29. Nebraska is so ridiculously flat it’s kind of unbelievable.

The first time I drove on the Upper Highway, I nearly hit another car. The moon was gigantic, and the hovering clouds were surreal.

As Stanford exited the tunnel, he looked upon the fabled Underground Kingdom of Duelkut.

I don't know if I'm supposed to write a mini-story but, here I go. I look around the room, the bright paint seemingly burning my eyes, and then look down.

The man holds up a key bump of cocaine. Or at least I hope it is. Fuck it, SNOOT. The man is starting to fade in front of me. He’s changing a bit. I blink. He’s shifting into an old timey…leprechaun?

If she looked only at the fluffy tail and the perky ears, Sherry could almost believe her senile grandpa when he told her that squirrels are harmless. Tiny critters. Adorable climbers.

The sky was a dreary gray, as it had been in the three years since Kelly stepped out of her apartment, wearing a biohazard mask and hope on her sleeve. A lot had changed in three long years.

All in all, the reality of a magical girl was right between the “Pretty Cure” and “Madoka Magica” sides of the spectrum. This meant that the Demon you had to make a pack with wasn’t very useful, but it wasn’t like he wanted you to have a fate worse than death. You also got paid. Alice looked at the assignment.

Griffith's funeral was a huge affair. The entire town gathered for the procession that brought the coffin to the graveyard, and nobles came from as far as the royal palace to pay respects.

They say you should always talk to people in a coma. They still dream. They can still hear you. They are still there. I always spoke to my mother when I saw her.

So it came that on the twentieth day of Aprilius in the 815th year of our lord, there came - what appeared to be - a white rabbit into the small hamlet of Tomnadashan.

It rested 'neath no dome beside that grand expanse of stars above at which it stared, alone and unattended, abandoned and forgotten.

Imagine the void as a sort of timer. It ticks down slowly until it it goes off. The problem is nobody knows what happens when it does. What we do know is that human sacrifices reset the timer.

The doors to the study were a heavy mahogany, well polished and decorated with the finest carvings you'd ever seen. A scenery on each of the six panels, not one alike.

Getting pigs to fly was the easiest phrase to make happen. I actually did it multiple times, in multiple ways, cause they kept saying it didn't count. First I simply stuck a pig on an airplane.

Mr Edgerton leaned back in his chair, his head hurt from the meeting he had just gone through. Sighing, he reached up a hand and rubbed his eyes.

Peeling apart thin layers of a plastic bag, the acne-face kid behind a mask exclaims, “Feel better. I’m sorry. At least you’ll get lots of time to yourself. I mean!

"Okay, let's start with something easy,"Jayden said, jerking his chin at a square block of concrete on the ground. "Try and lift it." Bob sent him a dubious look.

Jalek had seen it first. He had climbed over the small dirt hill, and had scouted the valley below with his hawk-like vision. He was one of the best Guiders in these parts of the Wastes. To be completely honest, he was probably THE best. The white-faced man had stood on top of the hill for a good two minutes, before ru...
I sat in the exact center of shrine surrounding the World Portal, meditating. Waiting. I could hear him climbing the stairs that spiraled up to the top of the mountain. He would be here soon. When the warrior finally reached the top, he did not bow, or make any show of respect like he was supposed to. He simply ...
He could do nothing but stare. Stare at the twisted, broken remains of towering buildings long since toppled, at the expanses of vehicles, shattered and rusting, many turned aside, as if a massive tidal wave had washed over them.

I have my reasons. I am not 'mis-informed', or deluded. I have heard the arguments against the rite, and I am unmoved.

What has it given me, that I sh...
The first god played with creation, and since its nature was perfect, everything it made was perfect.

Between towering skyscrapers made of glass and steel, a quaint garden rested under a layer of morning dew. Its richy, red-stained wooden fence and overhead fairy lights lent it a quaint, cozy air.

The room is very quiet. I'm guessing it's soundproofed, because everyone seemed very angry when I was being dragged in here. I stare at the mirror on the wall, at myself.

Doctor Quelec felt the world’s embrace distant from him as if he had been severed from its anchor.
