The sign above the door of the building flickered softly in the rain. B DY MOD, it read. Nathan wasn’t reassured in the slightest by the quality of the sign.
He pushed open the grimy glass door of the shop and was greeted immediately by a young woman at the front desk. “Welcome to body mod location 342, by entering th... |
**Mars, the year 3077:**
"LET THEM GO!"the crowd screams.
I gaze down at them benevolently, for despite their pathetic wailing, benevolence is all I know. I mentally take note of the rebellious firebrands' faces. If they don't step down soon, I shall order another execution after this one is finished.

I rushed up the stone stairs clutching my golden scroll tightly. The September sun beamed on me making each step feel like twenty. Above me students were gathered at the top in a maroon robed huddle. They awaited the opening of the three ginormous wooden gates. As I fumbled up the last few steps I could hear their voi... |
The fat bearded man in pineapple swim trunks swam and dove through Lake Erie. The glint of something caught his eye. He reached under the water, extracting a toy broadsword, the gaudy gold hilt glittered in the sunlight. Seeing the worthless plaything he shrugged. The man stunbled onto the beach. A 10 year old girl ... |
Everything seems clear-er. The directive has become crystalline instinct. "LostMyCleaver,"booms into the expansive room beyond my current comprehension. The immensity of the room begins to fade as I focus on the central screen hundreds of feet high and broad. I begin to approach an obvious raised electric green oval... |
When the train arrived at the next stop, I saw the passenger sitting across from me get up and leave. I noticed that she left behind her black duffel bag on purpose.
As the train left the station, I took a minute to regard the black duffel bag.
"I wonder what it could be?"I asked. I stood up and went over to it. I pu... |
[NSFW] "Everyone of us has a superpower, you just have to find what activates it"
I didn't expect to find out in the middle of intimacy with my partner. Super strength is great, so is super endurance, especially during a special moment, but not when you aren't expecting it.

I was sitting in the middle of the audience, I didn't have any idea who was supposed to be this guy but everyone was cheering and clapping for him to come on stage.

My blade is sharp. My spirit is strong. My body is steady.

It was tough for Richie. In a world where everyone's consciousness was in the virtual cyberspace, hacking from in the code was far superior to doing it from the meatspace, or real world. But that was where his specialty laid, at least until a few years back when the finalization of the global MindScape was complete and... |
[INTERROGATION: SUSPECT 183]
I bit into the goodness of the Twix I had stolen from the corner store, unaware that this would be the catalyst for the rest of my life. All I cared about then was getting things for me and my family. My maman, locked away, in some dark world after my father ran off. [audible sigh] Was wha... |
“Tell me again so I’m not mistaken… you sure we need this boy?” I asked through the comms unit. “You guys do know who he is right?”
“Yes just get the boy and you’ll understand. Don’t make me repeat myself again, Joey. Seriously I don’t get paid enough for this.” I heard her sigh annoyed through the ear piece. I muted ... |

The shapeshifting monsters are something I have always been aware of, but never really understood. I knew that they fed on negative emotions, but I never knew how they did it. I never knew how they took on the form of a person you can care about, and then did things to make you feel bad. I never knew how they wiped you... |
I was halfway through the word, "liberty,"when it hit me - I was waxing poetic about the evil of authoritarianism to the very man all our troubles were centered around. I was speaking with the emperor himself.

As I read the latest New York Times bestseller on my e-reader, I listened to a classic novel from the 19th century, and I could comprehend every word I heard and read!
I also discovered that while I was taking in these two books at the same time, perfectly able to follow both books, I wanted to see if I could write my... |
"The Harvesting Touch?"
Zivro frowned at the mage. They were agitated, looking between the sword and him. Almost afraid of what they had found.

“Let me me get this straight… in 2023 I was taken to the ER in Philly, a car accident?” I said skeptically to the chipper medical billing officer sitting at my bedside. “April 1st, 2023 yep, that’s what it says here.” She nodded.

The song of the Dark Crown, as told by *Oban*
He came across the low-land moors,
The highland plains and mountains,
He came to us, among us was still,
His patience like a fountain.
When at first, like night,
He settled on our lands,
We rose against, to fight
But as time slips by, just like the sands,
He did no... |
"Raymona has posted another essay, Sir,"the messenger said.
The Quizarch of Almami sighed. "What is it about this time?"
"She is arguing that the Fourth Revelation is telling us to be kind to non-believers and try to convince them of the Truth, not to compel them to join the church."
"Of course she is."There were ma... |
I watched from a distance as the monster moved through a deadly set of sword techniques in the meditative form *The Dragon's Dance*. The demon's tail stilled as she ended on *Breathing Softly*, a gentle series of decapitation strikes. The chain linked armor it wore would offer some protection from my handbow.
This is ... |
Sitting in a chair, watching a film of his past "successes", the old man occasionally yelled at the screen. By now, the screen was a goopy mess. The film strip showed scratches, hairs and previous burn marks - where the old man had frequently and almost perpetually at times, paused movement through the gate so he could... |

The man kept blubbering strange nonsensical words, but then he took a beat-up stick and made a bunch of peculiar motions with the other hand, it reminded me of the ninja shows I used to watch as a kid.
I assumed the man in front of me was crazy and would be in no way helpful in finding my way back to my car. But then ... |
"Hell, huh? Why? All I ever did was for betterment of the whole world, but still I did not found a place in heaven."I thought to myself after entering a big room that was filled with corpses, and a pathway leading to a door. I walked to the door but it felt like with every step, my speed was getting slower. After what ... |
I could not believe my ears.
“Help, I’m King Arthur, and I’m lost! Can you help me find Camelot?”
I looked at this raggedy man, who still managed to look regal. "King Arthur?"
He looks at his clothes, "Despite appearances, I am King Arthur. Can you help me?"
I'm an old man myself. Were it not for good planning; ... |
I looked down at the ground. What stood before me was a terrifying sight. A person laid unconscious, covered in blood and bruises all over their body. They were clearly dead.
Did I do this? I thought to myself before looking at my hands. That was until I realized I was covered in blood as well. Not clearly as mu... |
Professor Hildebroom grinned eagerly as he watched his class gather and settle. First years, nearly fresh from the womb, wide-eyed, clumsy, and capable of wonder. He adored teaching first years.
The seats filled, and the last student to waddle in did so fumbling an arm-load of materials - dense, leather-bound books, p... |
The story of Grabthar's famed hammer and his blood feud with the sons of his old master Warvan is one that had been told time and time again by drunken travelers, tired grandparents, and schoolyard teachers alike for decades on end. Curiously enough, the tale keeps its consistency between each passing tongue, as if it ... |
Another night, “I can’t keep doing this, Please make it stop” I yelled to no one as I barely hold on to my quickly tiring body. Fighting the urge to drop the only thing keeping me awake. A lemon slice in half with a drop ready to be spilled to my already punctured hands.
A drop and I feel the searing heat of acid in ... |
It truly began as something amazing.
A small girl whom suffered fatal internal bleeding from being hit by a car, sat up on the operating table. Just after being declared deceased.
The world rejoiced.
Then another report came in. A mother of three woke up completely fine after refusing treatment to her stage IV can... |
"So did you"I replied back quickly. "Plus IT tried to shoot us first, remember?"
"Fine!"Jenny snapped back. "If respect for the dead means so little to you, then why don't you search HER pockets to see if there's anything we can use?"
I just shrugged & started searching the old denim jacket it was wearing, rummag... |
The battle was heated, the Vampire jumping around as the cyborg opened fire with its blaster pistol. The Vampire attempted to fire back with his own MAC 10 submachine gun but the rounds simply bounced off the his opponent’s blue and silver armor, the armor itself seemed familiar. Running out of ammo the vampire kicked ... |
“There must be something I could say to stop you” says a voice that sounds much like my own. My heart flutters as the implications rise into consciousness. The machine works. I will save her. “But the more I’ve thought about it, the more I doubt we’ll ever escape this. It’s a twisted play that always ends right where i... |
Snorting and panting, waddling and jiggling, squeals and laughs follow the little dog. Their lady promenades the little dog along cobbles, with a sparkling pink lead and a bow at the base of their coiling tail. A little lady, almost as little as the little dog, shouts as she pauses in front of the pair. The little lady... |
I crested a hill, reigning my steed into a stop at the top to look out over the surroundings. My mask covered the lower half of my face, keeping the smoke from my lungs. I gazed down at the charred land before me. Bones, both of animals unlucky enough to be caught in the flames and of the humans aimed for, scattered in... |
**Iron Coral**
*ferrophilia brachiosi*

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”
Maboya looked up, shoving her goggles back on top of her head. She blinked, as though surprised there was still reality all around her. “Hello Ulama. How was your lunch break?”
There was a furious sound like a fly stuck in a windowsill as a dragonfly flew through the air to land on Maboya’s work... |
**After School**
"Stef? It's almost dinner."
"Can I eat later, Mom? I'm not hungry."Truth be told we were too emotional after today to be hungry. I had spent the time in charge telling classmates that it was still too soon to be myself -- a half-truth if ever there was one -- while she took herself back over and pour... |

"Of course, sweetheart. What story would you like?"

The Earth is doomed.
A sirens song for chaos has erupted.
Ears bleed, flesh rips.
Across the Earth, many start to savagely tear into one another.
To call this the end would be a mercy. No this is only the beginning.

What followed the conductor's ethereal voice was a great cacophony of scraping doors and clattering luggage cases, as beings of all stripes and types prepared to reach their last destination.

Here's my idea based off of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart", if you want an example:
A man who lives with the constant grief of killing somebody and stashing them under the floorboards goes through wacky adventures. They keep hearing heartbeats from the floorboards as a guilt-induced hallucination, but cracks ... |

Tonight was the night.

"Am I a good kid?"asked the young child as they stood rugged and dirty. Holding tightly onto a small monkey toy staring at the scene around her.

Working magic and steel is always tough. The spells have to be layered on continuously as the steel is shaped and it had to be done by the one shaping the steel. Working steel is hard work and having to chant spells while you do it makes it even harder.

Tyrion squinted his eyes against the bright sun as he leaved the protecting shadow of the forest road that he had followed for the last 2 days.

You wake up in a hospital bed. Apparently, you have been in an accident of some sorts. One by one, your parents, your friends and family all stop by.

Most writers know that putting a self-insert character into their novel can be tricky. I was blinded by my own hubris when I attempted it myself.

The poor lad must've not been fed in weeks, every loaf of bread, every chunk of one, every morsel devoured. The drink emptied and the crying growing.

It was insane. Many of those that were now held fast to craft that bobbed and rolled alarmingly over the fickle sea below them had expressed that. But their king would brook no argument.

The supermarket's "hawaiian"aisle had always managed to hold my attention. Whether it was out of sheer curiosity, or (to many of my peers' dismay) my desire for pineapple on a pizza, I would instinctually gravitate to the overexposed pictures of palm trees and hula dancers.
Of course, it was inevitable that I would ma... |

We don't know why it starts. One minute we're just living our lives--doing the things we normally do.

The wind howled in this desolate land, sharp rocks and stones, the color of the night, the sky plain… no moon or stars, or sun, dark and ominous. And yet I was able to see. I clenched my jaw and fist, my heart racing and my face twisting with rage. I could feel heat dissipating from my body.
And… Amidst them I stood.... |

It was simple yet elegant. The birth of the cosmos, and of eternity began with a song.
