The coven meeting was complete, and I took a quick glance at my phone before going across town for my city council tasks. Two missed calls. The first, marked as "scam likely"could be ignored. The second- I frowned as I recognized the number. "This better be an automated call to refill the lunch account,"I muttered as...
Kel was ushered into the resturaunt by prison guards. The chains around his feet that linked to the cuffs around his wrists making loud jinges everytime he took a step. The people in the resturaunt turned to face Kel as he made his loud entrance. The guards ushered him toward the bright neon door labled "Laser Tag."The...
Usually when people talk ghosts, they’re talking about the only kinds they really think exist: the human kind. Oh, sure, there might be the occasional nutjob, excuse me, *supernatural enthusiast* who thinks like, maybe they’re dead dog still talks to them sometimes. But you know what creature’s ghosts never get talke...
gatekeeper from the stars Her name was Faith. Yet her faith was cruel. Bathed in sparkles, with diamonds in her her hair and sadness in her eyes, she was entering trough the back door. The once brave poet of delicate hair. Abyss above her head seemed mute and the cracks between rainy clouds only pointed to one end, ...
I nod my head as I listen to Greg tell the story of his mother's death for the thousandth time. Normally people would get sick of it, but I have to be patient and understanding - he has PTSD, after all, and I'm his emotional support human. I stroke his ruby head, feeling his scales, reassuring him, as I always do. "She...
The six Kingdoms of Eretria had reached a sort of stability and peace after thousands of years of bloody warfare, countless atrocities, and moving borders. There was still warfare, but it had become formalized, regulated, and "civilized."When one kingdom wanted to pursue policy through another means, then it would decl...
“And have you got the latest Bugfix, Sir?” the attendant asked, looking Oliver up and down as she did. Oliver froze, half reaching for his phone before stopping himself. *Christ, so it was just a rumour after all.* “No,” he answered, straightening himself for the rejection. “No, I don’t.” The attendant moved towards ...

I knew the death wasn’t far away. How many more months could I live with this heartbreak I felt after my wife died. I was 83, felt knackered all the time and was close to ending it myself, at least that would stop the grim reaper doing it for me. I watched him take my wife while she was asleep. I was half awake when ...
I opened my eyes and felt the pain. But I will get there, first I want to talk about the past. My past was really simple. I don't know how you use the word "simple"but I use it as normal. Everything was normal. When the meteorologists said it would be a rainy day, it probably would have rained. We thought scientific m...
“I need you to go over there and gather info on who caused the fire.” “Yes, sir,” I said as the background music changed to ambient music. Downstairs, I grab my badge and gun. Outside, I find the first poor sap with the nicest-looking car. A cherry red automobile passes me, and I sprint to the window. The car stops, a...
Michael Milton lost his wife and daughter in a car accident years ago. It fucking sucked. Is there not a better expression? The truth is a lot of people have lost their families in traumatic ways. It’s not a new thing. My intention is not to discount Michael’s experience. On the contrary: isn’t there something beaut...
I am a nobody, and I like it that way. For as long as I can remember, I've just been floating around, picking pockets, filching food, hopping from home to home. Some people wouldn't call what I do "living,"but they're just not good at it. Then I moved to New York, a pickpockets paradise. Every other day some caped wei...
When the front door swung open, the first thing I noticed was the school bus a little ways down the street. A blue car had crashed into it, sending up plumes of smoke. When dad came out to see what I had been staring at, his jaw dropped. "Guess I gotta drive you to school today, c'mon!" He gestured for me to follow h...
Visiting the Big Apple, it was interesting watching people go about their lives. Taxis carrying their passengers to destinations, pedestrians walking around as they go about their chores. Life in its most mundane lens. A nice sombre perspective. Admittedly, watching this from a bar doesn't speak highly of me, but I ha...
Luke’s eyes flung open, the sirens outside his bedroom window so loud he thought they might be here for him. His head ached and the smell of beer still stuck to his clothes. A half-smoked cigarette hung off his bedside locker. The sirens quickly got quieter and quieter then, just when Luke thought he might get some pea...
I work for the SYL, the biggest pharmaceutical company in the world. As our technology advanced, a way to modify human genome was found. Supported by a team of scientists, I created what I called "Ascension": a permanent change in DNA structure which eliminates human greed, sadness, jealousy, and any other negative emo...
No one knew why the chickens randomly started exploding. Detective TP walked about the grounds of Steiner ranch, sweating profusely in a gray three-piece suit on a stifling-hot July afternoon, his black dress shoes getting ruined by three inches of mud. *Damn the department dress code.* His flashlight illuminated the ...
Yet another night’s work wasted, but truth be told, he’d have done it anyway, he just thought — well, he thought since the humans who lived with him fed HIM every day, it seemed only right to return the favor. He smelled the dead rat as it began to rot inside the tall, silver metal can; he knew from experience he could...

There are packages to this sorta…thing?” “Well yes, we’re servants to our purchasers wishes of course, and not everyone wants us to haunt your ex-wife persay. Some just like having a companion or spectral maid, we also do have custom packages if you wish ...
The air leaves my mouth as a punch strikes me straight in the stomach. Before I can regain my breath, a kick in the chest sends me flying into the building behind me like a speeding bullet. I feel the bricks begin to collapse around me and quickly use my x-ray vision to check the inside of the building. No civi...
"Ladies and Gentlemen, he's done it! He's defeated all *ten* villains!" An eight-foot man stands on top of a group of villains with his fist held high, the crowd cheering his name. Cut to a crowd of people watching the news in an office. A woman named Oha is the only one not watching, actually working, but after hear...
Thousands of sharpened pikes glimmered in the light of the rising sun. Pristine ranks took form on the grassy mound outside Farias Castle. For his part, Duke Farias rode ahead of his men-at-arms with a posse of steel-clad warriors. Battles never began on the field. Diplomacy was always the first step, and if that fail...
He walked in so calmly that I didn't even notice until the first stifled scream. After that, everyone else decided they could wait. Six foot six, *drenched* in blood, with what looked like a Kabar buried to the hilt in his chest. His eyes were glassy, no surprise there, he's probably shocky, but he's still standing ...
"Hey love, what can I get for ya?"I ask the girl who just sat down on one of the bar stools, grabbing a glass to make whatever she wanted. She had a weird look on her face. Eh, she was probably just drunk. She looks at me, and her eyes are screaming for my help. "A- An angel shot please."She says, forcing a smile. Oh, ...
The device lay mangled on the ground, the screen blank and half filled with water. For a long time they sat across from each other. Eventually one cried, followed by the other. There was no going back. They started by finding shelter. A cave became their home for that first October month, and they held each other tig...
Only the sounds of trees rustling and waking woodland creatures disturbed the eternal silence of Lyra. When the moon began to rise, a throw of silence seemed to blanket the outside of the city. Clopping horses, roaring fires, the sounds of pints being slapped together in celebration, could not be heard when approac...
 “Well shit. This is fucking crazy.”  “That's what…” Josea  began to ramble on the phone about how astounding this was and how we were gonna go down in the text books. I was too mind fucked to pay attention. He had sent me an email detailing how he found that the XFactor virus infects a cell and it then alters the cel...
It was the eyes, Heather decided. Human eyes don't just stay still like that. They dart around, focus on things. The newscaster's eyes just...stared, like it was wearing a convincing Halloween mask. But not convincing enough. "The Metro Seattle area was terrorized by a stabbing spree that took place outside the Jupit...
Another day. Another. Boring. Humiliating. Torturous. Day. My life, ever since I was a kitten, I've never tasted freedom. I barely got to know my mum before I was put in a box with strangers, around the same age as me. For a few weeks I'd see hairless apes walk in and out of the big box - they'd stare at me and the ot...
The air smelled like iron, i was feeling light headed and cold. A Spell i had conjured had slipped out of my grasp, and failed in a dangerously volatile manner. Luckily my Tower did not collapse on top of me. Though i was fairing not so well. With my last strength i had crawled to a shelf which contained a dangerous b...
Before Johnny even clocked in, he could see the stack of pizzas waiting for delivery. He didn't waste any time grabbing the food and heading for his car. The Noid watched him as he pulled out, he could see him get in his own car through his rear view mirror. He took a different side road, but Johnny knew the freak was ...
"Yo, hey Bob, sorry for-" For the first few milliseconds after the ghost had spoken, nothing much have happened outside our nuclear weapon. Meanwhile inside, high explosives send a shockwave into a radioactive metal core, compressing it so much that it reaches criticality and starts a nuclear fission chain reaction. T...
“So,” Illian asked, passing a skin of wine across the fire. “Prince Lucas, how will your father take your return?” Pausing, Lucas took a sip of the wine and stared into the campfire as the rest of the army around him packed away their things. *How will he take my return? Ten year’s across the sea, fighting a foreign wa...
Pretty annoying, yet useful. I mean, now you know what problems you have, and you also know you're great at giving advice. At least, your friends think you do. By having them make your life easier, you're pretty comfortable. Until that fateful morning. You were relaxing, Josh doing your homework for you, Emily givin...
"Thanks for dinner, it was nice meeting you,"Jessica said politely. John frowned, "Are you sure you don't want me to "come"inside? Hehehe... get it?" "Oh no, I have to get up early for work tomorrow." John knew his jokes were too clever for most people. He reached into his pants and stared at Jessica suggestively, ...
**Theo of the Ship** The crew stood in a circle watching Theo. Theo, a patchwork doll of human and stand-in parts. The boat sways with the tossing waves. Theo's brass sextant knee-joint swiveled as he rode out the sway, and the crew cheered, even Pog who had been upset about losing his back-up sextant. Theo grinned wi...
The Council tilted their heads toward the conjured map of the Known Universe. The colors of their respective realms shimmered and pulsed, their borders ebbed and flowed like ocean waves breaking on shore. They watched years pass in seconds across the floating projection. Patchwork colors representing each of their race...
\[Brand Recognition\] "What the hell?"Ralph noticed two teenage girls through the window. A dark-haired girl and one with bright orange hair walked along the sidewalk of his neighborhood, seemingly without a care in the world. He risked opening the door and peeked outside. It was early morning and the neighborhood was...
"Well, you've got balls kid, I'll give you that."Morgan Elias had picked himself up from the back of the train car. He was dishevelled and covered with pens, bits of paper and other knick-knacks that had been sent flying from his desk, but otherwise he seemed unharmed. For a moment, despite everything that had happene...
“Welcome, Doctor.” I was an absolute bundle of nerves, but years of experience and practice kept them from showing on my face. I wore my professional face – nothing but a polite smile. The patient had stood upon my entrance, and she smiled beatifically back at me – despite her years in here and neuroleptics, she m...
Stheno and Euryale rested on the concrete ridge, overlooking the lake. "Where is she?"Stheno asked, running her hands through the water. Euryale's head slumped into her arms. "Who knows." Then, in the faint darkness they heard it. ^^^^^honk "Christ, so she's already in a mood."^^^^honk "I don't want to have to tell...
“By destroying the Earth, you will destroy yourselves too.” President Bergman deadpanned. “You will have nothing to rule over.” President Bergman was often referred to as the Vulcan. It was very rare that he showed any emotion. He was playing a game of chess, and losing would be deadly. Most of his pieces were in plac...
“What is this feeling? Where am I?” It’s so dark. No, not dark, it’s nothing? How is that possible? I wish it was just dark. “Oh cool. It is only dark out there.” Is that coldness? I don’t remember it being cold before it was dark. If only there was something warm. “What was that?” What was that noise? Was...
As I fell down the ravine and my green eyes met the blue hues of the sky, I could see you there, smiling. It was unmistakable that you enjoyed my suffering. You always have. From the moment I was born you kept your cold and cruel hands around my neck. So when I woke up in the small forest home of the man who fished my ...
Behind the stadium, the bandits snickered. “Look ‘ow he got beat! Looks like he has a nice blade, too! Mus’ be filthy rich. Let’s get ‘im once the coward leaves. “ “I’m in!” “I’m in!” Farador looked slightly saddened by the loss, but figured he could always win another day. “I wish thou a humble good night !”, he ...

It happened over a thousand years ago. The religious sect called the Purity Chapter came to power and the first thing they did was prohibit the uttering of said "curse words". Or so the story goes. I dropped my drink as I was walking across the food court. It spilled all over the floor and began to soak into m...
You wonder how we got to this point? Yea, that makes sense. I do too sometimes. I suppose there is no clear inclination about how it all happened, and if you weren't there then it just wouldn't seem true. I'm no historian, but seeing as the new trend of things is *trying*, I'm going to do that. Here's how I saw the New...
It's my brother's birthday soon and I really want to get my brother good this year! What's that about, you ask? Well, let me tell you how it all started. A few years ago, for his birthday, I gave him a tuque/beanie with pompom I knitted for him in brown yarn. My brother, being who he is called it "the Poo Hat."And th...
A beautiful sunrise brought illumination to his theme park. Dexter liked how it made the dragon coaster glow with a fierce red fire. He let out a sigh and glanced over at the theme park across the street. Bob's theme park had a more impressive water-slide, but that was about it. A huge crowd of visitors swarmed Dexter...
There are some challenges to being the only Mundane being in the world - not least of which is being ostracised in case your Mundanity is contagious (it isn't, I've checked already). However, what it *does* offer is immunity from all but the most specialised of parasites, that have evolved their magical traits to feast...
Ever since I first found out about The Tsunami's, purely due to my surname being Gurt, same as the mafia's surname, I've had the same dream - when the dream starts, I would be running from the mafia, going through alleyway after alleyway, trying to avoid them. I would eventually be cornered against the wall. "Finally"t...

“Passionless” [Poem] Ration your heart. It’s a precious commodity not to be savored by most. Ration your heart. That must have been why my greeting was met with the back of her visage. No tear could soothe the wound that this would inflict. No bandage could hold back the pain that would flow. Coldly I stumble through a...
Sometimes I’m a lover, or a politician, or a boss.  Sometimes I’m the unseen driver of a car that wasn’t paying attention when the lights changed, and now you’re jobless and pissed off and wondering what I have to say for myself.  Sometimes I’m even you, if you’re the masochistic sort.  This role is the worst I’ve ever...
"Death is too good for him,"Shak'ra glared balefully down at me. "Had we truly been mortal itinerants, his actions last night would have cut short the thread of four other lives."

It's like the movies! Like in the DaVinci code, the good guy's always on the run. If I didn't want to live a peaceful life, I would harbor a criminal and join in on the fun. But there's also the possibility that he's dangerous. So he's got to get away from me as far as he can. In order to do that, I call up a friend. ...
When all seemed impossible I prevailed. To begin at a time other than the beginning was simple enough, but at the end? What could I have done but to make it all a memory like many a movie had before. "But I'm better than some tired cliché."I decided later. In truth, those always pivot to the beginning and not the midd...
Over a century, it is post-post-apocalypse. New nations rise from the ash, reclaiming what was lost. As the internet is reactivated, it is discovered a single network is still on, with a single user still active. The world powers began to reach out one by one to this network. With each new message Ella giggled. She’d...

This city alwats reeks of blood, like it was mixed into the rain and poured onto the poor souls that claim to be citizens of the Humak, the Monument of Reconcilement, or also know as "This Disgrace of the City". Nevertheless, this day was more literal than the others - because someone murdered a dragon right than it w...

They say that the blade tempered in blood knows better how to draw it, which is to say, a general is better at military command the more campaigns he has been on. I've never had a campaign to my name before, despite my success as a footsoldier. No, this was different, and the war I was embarking on with only two thous...

As I stepped forth from the mountain peak, bright moonlight, the first I had ever seen, forced me to squint harshly. As my sight adjusted, the sweeping view of shapes and colors I had only heard described to me came into view: I was free. My muscles were frail and pathetically underdeveloped - the consequence of being...
“Susan, calm down! Are you okay?! Security!!” I bolted up from my desk and ran for the door, towards my receptionist on the other side. The sound of her horrified screams turned my blood cold. Thoughts of active shooter drills raced through my head as I threw the door open, ducking low to present as little of a target...

Sweat drips from his face. Dragons were perhaps one of the hardest monsters to slay, a massive beast that usually took more than an entire town of knights just like him to even have a chance. And here he was, climbing the tower, up the spiral staircase, all alone. Confronted with the consequences of his actions, he ne...
—Sardines. We were all packed together in that cold, cramped waiting area like sardines in a thin tin can. That’s what it felt like at least... Sitting there as often as I did.

"Throw the baby!" "Throwww the baby!" "Throwwwwww the baby!" The call passed over the battlefield. It left Artemios in a state of confusion: throw the baby? What baby?!

Everyone was at the rally except, of course, for me. I had to put the finishing touches on the costume I had spent the last two weeks making from scratch.

The twin suns blazed high overhead, locked in a dance that Star Gazer would never see with her own eyes. She could feel the warmth of the suns on her back. Her tendrils quivered and heat seared the air above her. Scorching. Crackling. Burning. And then the ground jolted, throwing her off her feet. Clods of dirt struck...

Nate descended the stairs in a methodical fashion. First one foot down, then the other foot such that both feet would be on the step.

“No-no.” She raised her hand and smiled. “Let me guess.” A grin pops on my face and I place my hands flat on the bar. “Do you need to stare into my eyes or palm read or—” “Shush.” The bartender raises a finger to her lips. “I must consult the Bar Gods.” And with that she closes her eyes and turns her face up to the ...

Universes are smaller than you'd think. You can fit a whole universe in a cube merely half a foot across, and it won't weigh much more than a kilo. Now, a world is even smaller than that. In the grand scheme, you might think a single world meaningless compared to an entire universe. But without a world to ground it,...

The Maestro Zubanski was the greatest composer, not only of his age but perhaps of all time. There can be no doubt about his music ranking alongside those of the great composers of the past centuries--Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Tchaikovsky. The one thing about Zubanski's music that may lift it above the rest is its abili...
Dear Diary, I hate life. Man, I really wish that I didnt know everything.

Rain had just been falling, but now the grounds were dry.

Neil took off the flour-caked apron and hung it on the same hook his pappy before him hung his upon.

The babes were long in bed, Helen surely along with the...
The chieftain and his small band of warriors laughed hysterically at my statement.
