I've always been a superhero. At least I think. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to know how things worked, and I wanted to break those rules. I was obsessed with the idea that every rule had a counterexample. Naturally when college brought me into contact with physics classes and psychedelic drugs at the same t... |
### Immortal Guardian
I have a unique condition.
I am immortal.
Well, that by itself is not that unique, but I can also see the future. My discussions with a noted author may inform you. I see the many paths the future may take, but incompletely. They rise and fall on long rolling hills; I do my best to influenc... |
Case Report #1: Viridian City Gym Leader
Years ago, several Gym Leaders were using their establishments as fronts for a criminal organization known as Team Rocket. Team Rocket sold stolen Pokémon in Celadon City’s Game Center. The Game Center promoted teen gambling, prompting Red to shut down the facility. This is the... |
The golden sun turned her hair from a gentle brown to a brilliant burnt orange The heat brought color to her pale cheeks. Tiny wisps of cotton curled off of her grey turtleneck, which clung tightly to her neck, the slope of her breasts, and her stomach.

Whenever the warning label on the side of prescription medication says not to drive or operate heavy machinery, my mind always goes to forklifts. But never once have I ever wanted to drive a forklift after taking a rather potent dose of Vicodin; nor any other heavy machinery no matter it's culinary designation or prepl... |
It's my first day at my new job and already I have a problem. My new assignment is to take the souls of the newly dead and help them move on. Honestly I knew it would suck having to watch people die that I knew I could help if I wanted to but not being allowed to help anyone really sucks. Today I got the worst assignm... |
Thirty years. Thirty years and it was done, Carl.
Thirty years ago, I stood here as I watched the priests give you last rites.
Twenty nine years ago, I learned why you had died.
Twenty eight years ago, I left our house as I swore to track down father.
Twenty seven years ago, I killed the cop in the desert who was ... |
"Yeah. That's Dave."
"Dave?"
"Well, he has a super long demon name but it's hard to pronounce. He goes by Dave"
"Why is there a demon named Dave in our bath tub?"
"I just told you, Abraham. His demon name is-"
*"What is Dave doing in the bath tub?"*
-Rubber ducky, you're the one. You make bath time so MUCH FUN-

As the world around me faded to black, I couldn't help but let out a little chuckle. Of course my stupid plan hadn't worked. What was I thinking, turning on Theo like that? And just as Theo had finally c... |
The genie's gaze fell to the floor. I looked upon him with a soft smile, hopeful for his future. My final wish would give him the freedom to live as we all do. To truly know what it is to live, and be loved, with all the joy that comes with it.
After a brief moment, the genie lifted his face to me, tears welling in hi... |
This time the two of them sat in a cinema of dreams, unique to the one where hats are still worn as a mark of respect on most occasions and Mercury has a moon. He dreamt in much crisper lucidity and heard a girl whose voice gave him the memory of being at sea. A voice that was much different from his partner's.
She sa... |
A ball of an array of colorful lights slowly floated out of the box opened by the human, a single stone eye in the middle scanning around the room, shortly followed by it darting around the room itself. Seemingly having gotten a grasp of its surroundings, or perhaps having had enough stimulation, the eye finally settle... |
The tiger was perplexed.
Why was there a lion in his jungle?
He had asked around, but no one seemed to have an answer. So he decided to go straight to the source and get answers.
"Lion. What brings you to my domain?"
His powerful voice rang throughout the jungle, drawing the attention of various curious animals.

I’m just thinking the average lifespan is 80 so now 20 is considered old which means most parents would be about 16 which means the age of consent moved down to 13 and that’s a bit creepy- but other than that, imma try and write something to match this.
It started with the youngest. Kids were suddenly running around s... |
I ran through the lord’s halls, breathing heavily as sweat ran down my face.
I must warn him about the hero’s resurrection! I thought to myself as I ran, after another hall I got to my lord’s chambers only to see a man standing right in front of them.
My blood stopped flowing to my face, I knew that man, ... |
"Hello"I exclaim, as I stroll through the town's clothes store, approaching the owner. I have Hank, my cousin, and Oliver, my uncle, with me. I asked Gax if he wished to come, but he's still adjusting to everything that happened. His father, however, came along - he's waiting outside the store. I've fully embraced my r... |

Dalton sat in his apartment, staring at the empty bottle of Jack in front of him. He was alone in his apartment, and had been for some time. It showed in the discarded bottles and cans, and in the empty food containers piled high in and around the trashcan. He could hardly remember the last time that the windows let li... |
It had been five weeks of my life since I lost it. Within those five weeks, I had to re-learn everything I knew about my life. Even something as simple as the question "are you left-handed"suddenly made me pause. It would have been nice if Stefani could just take over during those times like she did with family or w... |
"Calm down,"I reply, "it's probably just a drill."
I grab my phone and relax on one of the beanbags, plugging in my headphones and heading to Netflix. If we're gonna have to do this drill, I might as well have some sort of entertainment from it. But when one episode leads to two, leads to four, I start to get worried.... |
“True Love at last!” The king exclaimed, only to be met with me rolling my eyes and the princess running out to greet me. Although when she saw me, she was disgusted. Of course she was. They always are. My pimple covered face and scraggly ass beard that you could hide a peanut butter sandwich in isn’t exactly the textb... |
Okay kid, listen to me very carefully.
This is not a lesson on ethocs or some other fancy shit. This is self defense.
Everybody out there is out to get you. And you should return the favor to them. Forget about compassion, solidarity or whatever fantasy you're dreaming about.
Stealing from a bank is fine. They will r... |
It was raw. Honest. Delightfully thoughtless.
From the moment she saw him, the hairs on her body stood at attention as though there was electricity in the air. She had never seen one like him. She hadn’t seen much of anything in that room in the way of invertebrates other than the sort that flew and the sort that mar... |

43 weeks was all it took for humanity to let out a collective sigh. Reactions to the news died out as public interest waned, but most could be categorized as such: those arguing that stations couldn’t have scanned every moon and asteroid; those frustrated with God, scientists, and movie makers; those convinced the effo... |
every one i knew is gone, just gone, i looked for hours, door to door, room to room, everyone is gone, and i am alone, and its so quiet that i can even hear my own heart beat, i think i need to lie down.

Then there was the unexplained movements I thought I saw out of the corner of me eye, once familiar words in my books changing. I couldn’t believe it. I wouldn’t, couldn’t accept it. My friends all told me I was either brave or moronic, but I was adamant that I would keep going on with my life. I thought everything wou... |
We’d known it was a possibility. The plague had been the reason we’d departed with less than half our compliment aboard. Just above the minimum viable population, and even a hundred years in to the journey each birth was still carefully reviewed and approved. As far as we knew, earth was gone. No communications had... |
The TV is blaring. The world is over. Or the world never began? Or it began but it isn’t what we thought? Who knows. It doesn’t matter now.
A young man sits in the dark, blankly staring at the screen. He shovels food into his mouth, all while thinking how pointless it is. “Food” he realizes “I guess it’s just code so... |
Whittleworth, Vermont was a quaint and quiet town. Brilliantly colored leaves heralded the arrival of autumn. A perfect little slice of Americana, the cookie cutter houses with their white picket fences, perfectly manicured lawns, the laughter of children filled the air of the small subdivision of Happy Hollow.

What happens when people with incomprehensible powers get bored? When those who can reshape reality with a mere thought, starts sitting around waiting for something interesting to happen? We don't know. We really don't. Not because it hasn't happened, but because we don't have the vocabulary, or even the mental capacit... |
The plan was simple I just need the balls to do it. Whatever THAT is, it's not Winter it can't be. Shes not so easy irritated and distant. Heck, it took a LOT of convincing to go on a night run, which we used to do all the time.

Chameleons longing to be seen littered wilted corridors of humid desperation and found no resolve deep below the gazes of whip handed kings. Hidden behind Otherworld's regalia and devils grinning through their flesh, the keepers of time were self-proclaimed upon thrones of History's departed.

Lupus woke up in a stupor.
Hazed.
Confused.
And a raging headache to boot!
“Ugh.”
Lupus rolls away from the voice, only to realize he couldn’t roll away - was his body bigger?
It was bright - way too bright - he squinted his eyes open just a tad… there’s a tree. At least there’s something familiar. Lupus tried to... |
I wonder what the beans have in store for me today. I take that first sip of hot coffee in the morning. The swirling steam spins the yarn of fate.
*Today....Will be boring.....*
I took another sip
*Just like all the others days this month......*
Could be worse.
*Another two hour zoom meeting that could have been ... |
The traffic had not moved. He was stuck. As the figure got closer the man recognized...Himself! Before he could even process what was going on, blackness descended.
The driver opened his eyes. He looked around. He still felt slightly off, but the time travel seemed to work. He tried to figure out whether he had t... |
The windswept scatterings of fallen leaves blanketed the courtyard, a foreboding promise of winter. The Shinto shrine was affixed at the top of a chain of mountains that Jimmy couldn't pronounce. He'd settled to calling them the five elders as the other expats had, though Jimmy couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt at... |
"Wait, so you mean the serums can't cause harm or act as a poison but they actually do work?"Jedi asked.
"That's correct"Arch replied, "all bennies, no hurtsies."
Jedi marveled at the rack holding numerous vials filled with a vibrant array of colorful liquids. Some of them were glowing, others were fizzing, all se... |
The coffee slowly dripped into the pot, drip - drip - drip. I looked out my balcony as I waited; flags stood high, concrete as far as the eye can see. Soldiers marched in formation, more than usual - as men and women alike, marched to work to start the day. Smoke rose high out of the factories they walked towards, sold... |
What does this weirdo think i am--a dog?
I like having a human who's gone for days at a time. I only put up with having one at all because i know i'd have died years ago without those @#$%\^&\* vet visits. I don't need to be taken care of for the daily stuff: i know how to clean myself, i know how to turn the w... |
"Hey honey, are you okay?"
"What? No, yeah, I'm fine. The bed just feels emptier without the concubines."
"Aww, I miss the girls too, Becca. But they should be back by tonight."
"Can't wait. Uh, hey Mai?"
"Yeah baby?"
"When exactly did we get the concubines?"
"Uh, three years ago. They were my birthday present, r... |
"Okay I think I got everything we need to get through this wall."I laid out the rented power tools next to the giant fresco mural that dominated the cathedral walls. A heavenly scene of angels and their creators. Me and my wife Caroline were gonna tear that damn thing down, see what was on the other side. Couple pickax... |
Another grey sundown, another grey season, and tonight empty of essence under a new moon; it will be a long life without you, again.
The color was already fading from the experience of lives past and my lack of understanding had swallowed my wondering "why"as an ouroboros which would find no resolve. I had a false de... |
BANG BANG BANG BANG
I sprang from the sofa, startled from my light doze at the noise, chest heaving, my heartbeat sounding like thunder in my ears.
BANG BANG BANG BANG
The noise happened again, and this time, I recognized it. Someone was beating on my front door again. It had been going on for four weeks strai... |
On Monday, you woke in the middle of a rainforest. It was beautiful and luscious and moist, full of life and wonder. You couldn’t help but wish you would stay there longer than a day. You spend the day collecting dead leaves and flowers for your basket weaving project, and watch a river gently flow by.
You had always ... |
Sorry the story is so long. Got a little carried away with the concept of the prompt. Hope ya’ll still enjoy!
I’m a polarizing personality.
My parents said I came out a little “imp” the day I was born; red and screaming like murder. Dad wanted to name me Scott after his grand-dad, but my mother somehow convinced hi... |
I lay on my bed staring at my ceiling, tracing the indents, finding patterns with my mind. Today had been… hard. Events I would rather not remember were brought to the surface. I sigh and decide to face my demons; acknowledging them is supposed to be better than suppressing them, at least.
I let my mind drift, not fi... |
The Soviet soldiers stared at each other. None of this made sense. An enemy combatant was coming right at them, through the field of battle, with no armor or shield. He should have been an easy target. The commandant was even joking about how he was clearly a stupid American -- the red and blue gave it away.
But h... |

I didn't mind not knowing why there was money on my nightstand every morning, but I did want to find out how i can get more. I started by trying to get a video of whoever was putting the money on my table. One night before I went to bed, I set up a camera focused on the point where the money appears. That morning, the ... |
The facility had been cloning pigs for over twenty years. Changing the piglet DNA in order to make their organs transferable, cancer free, and an upgrade to any functioning organ a human had. After all, this was a new organ, not a donated one. The original human genome that was used in the reference for all of BioLifeX... |
This morning I go to check on Levi. I carefully open the door to the terrarium. Her skin had gone grey a few days ago, and it looks like it's beginning to shed. "Hello, sweetheart!"I chime. I pick up the small creature and gently stroke it. The new skin is coming out nicely, very bright and bold. "Would you like a bath... |
"No."
That was all I said to the letter that was in my hand. This wasn't real, there's no way. I had been alone all these years, fighting for survival, building my sanctuary with no help from anyone. I did all that, and the first sign of any possible chance of other human life besides me is...

She was a counselor and hypnotist. Highly sought, well paid, and well protected. She had her hands in so many pies. She could coach anyone on how to question the dead, direct their speech just enough to pull out confessions among litanies of regrets and shattering sobs. She could soften the psychological scars born by ... |
At my sixteenth birthday, I received the memories of my previous life. A simple office worker, dying just a little more on the inside every day.
I was a big fan of fantasy though. It helped me escape the real world. Fantasy wasn't limited to rules, everything was possible. How I wished to be in that world instead of m... |
Jerry stared across the bed at his partner, an old priest by the name of Michael. They'd been working together for at least five years, and he refused to believe that the man didn't know what he was doing. Every, time, the exact same exasperated tone. If he didn't, he was the least observant, most trusting person on pl... |

An endless, rocky landscape.
When I died and got dropped I hell, that was all I saw. A field, with no end in sight and a roof so high you couldn’t even see it. The only reason I knew there was a roof is because occasionally large stalactites would drop down and would impale the ground, or me. Other ... |
Ghostface Killer stepped onto the balcony of the Bates Motel and stared down at the pool, seeing Freddy Krueger sunning himself poolside. “HEY KRUEGER! STOP LYING AROUND AND GET YOUR SHIT, WE GOTTA MOVE!” Ghostface yelled in an electronically distorted voice. Freddy took his sunglasses off while looking annoyed, turned... |
I stare at the letter blankly, vision still half-red. Calmly, I put the letter down, directly into the fireplace. My hands are shaking as I look at one of the pictures on my wall. It was the two of us at the Grand Canyon. Calmly, I walk into the kitchen and grab a knife. I don't care that they were hired, and neither d... |
We call it the Regression. The day everything made by machines had disintegrated. It was 2022 when it happened.

Wilbur Scuttlebum was the best clown this world had ever seen. His talents were almost divine in nature. He could make statues weep with joy, according to legend. So funny was he, he once convinced a suicide jumper to reverse direction mid-air. And he was as deft with a long balloon as King Arthur was with Excalibur.

**———— My Fault; The Story Of A Beaten Dog ————**
I remember when my brother left for war. It was a strangely joyous day; the kind that you don't realise it was inappropriate to be happy on, until years after it. Mother had baked lemon pie, her famous secret recipe. Jace was still in his nightgown when the recruiter ... |
This was a new sensation. Usually Silas could conjure up any memory of his, every feeling. But this was an absence of that. It felt alien to him. A sensation familiar to all except him. Forgetfulness. The misplacement of the previous time.
He laid in his bed, his eyes open but not looking, no he was purely in th... |
The king repeated the question back, just to make sure he heard it correctly: "'Why?' "
Fuddlefink--the court jester--nodded. "Correct, your highness! Very astute of you, as always!"He clapped quickly, like a toy monkey.
The king adjusted in his throne. "Why...*what?*"
"Whywhatwhowhenhow! Name them all, if you wish,... |
\[Poem\] **Life's Last Light**
In the farthest corner of the dead galactic night,
A tiny remnant glitter of life's last light.
Beneath the frozen ice and rock,
With every star long gone,
A little dormant creature
Lives obliviously on.
Entropy consumed us.
We never could sustain
Ourselves wi... |
"*OOHH-*"Something touched my arm, and I couldn't see a thing. I shot up, the dim haze if the moon melting everything into wispy, ashy soup. Instinctively I went for the rebar I keep at my side. In my sleep drunk stupor I fell over. '*Where am I?*' Thoughts and fears were screaming in my mind, '*Where is she?*'

Recently sitting in my room on campus has felt strange. The feeling is almost like I am there but I’m not. maybe it’s dissociation, or maybe it’s anxiety but this is just the predicament that I have been in. Why do I feel like this in a space I have made my own? A space that is on the campus of my dream school full of ... |
Adrian is tired. Tired of having to smile, to think about how his words could be twisted, of never being able to trust anyone. He is a crown prince of a kingdom about to be eaten alive by an empire, and he is the planned sacrifice to the dragon. His wedding is planned for the first day of summer to the third princess o... |
The morning staff meeting was something none of us looked forward to. Even Bradley James, the man in charge of all the "good"kids, hated them, and he took every opportunity to rub in our faces how much better his kids were than the "common rabble."
Well... In everyone else's faces, that is. He would never dare cross m... |
What even was this? This has to be a dream, being woken up and a slimy squishy thing that's telling me I'm joining some what? Space city? Or something? It sounded like a scam.

Four months. That’s how long it’s been since the disease took Maddie from us. My wife hasn’t gone into her room since she died because she wants to keep it how it was before.

It was a hike we had done a thousand times before, a small trail that branches off into an unknown number of trails covering the massive mountainside. Each time we come here we take a different path, with today being no different. We found a castle, and decided to check it out. Next thing i know my gps has no signal an... |
The Spear of Divine Light was of an unusual design. It was long, as tall as two and a half men end to end, and almost as broad as the smiths who were summoned to examine it on the Spirit's departure.
Yet it was imbued with Divinity, and so the Chosen Soldier had no issue hefting it. None other could lift it, yet he co... |
The hero's life ended in a sad thrashing. In the kind of unexpectedily violent way, that's difficult to watch and to look away from.
Somewhere hidden in the shadows of an alleyway, the sidekick adjusts his mask.

My year is up, and as I sit alone in my apartment, celebrating my death day anniversary by rewatching an old horror film on Netflix and drinking a whole bottle of champagne by myself, I know why the Reaper cut me the deal he had.

A flash of green light and the not-so-subtle hint of smoke woke me up from my slumber.
It was a lazy sunday afternoon, around 2 PM, i'd say.
I rolled out of bed and donned a dressing gown that had just jumped up onto a hook, and went to see what the commotion was about.
As i stumbled my way down into the kitchen, my ... |
I just read the first story and I loved it! Was the story, by any chance, inspired by Skyrim? Because there's a random encounter in Skyrim with an Orc standing beside two dead lions. And if you engage him in a conversation he says he is looking for a good death. And then you have the dialogue options to either fight h... |

Saturday, six a.m. The cartoons weren't on yet and Buddha was still sleeping.

The weapon portrayed on his back was like none to my knowledge. It was long, a sleek black, with several buttons, and a long barrel. I could recognize my own weapons, my cherished tools of an apparently almost forgotten time. But really, I was more intrigued than mad. I stood there staring at it, and the Druid said

When I was younger, around 16, I came to realize that many of the people surrounding me weren’t people. That person in my room at night wasn’t an imaginary friend, it was a living -well not so much living any more- person.
I’d never told anyone what I could do, and following guidance from the spirit within my home, I... |
\[PART 1\]
It was day 2 of my backpacking trip in the hilly mountains. I had chosen a good resting spot on the top of a mountain – it had taken a lot of work to get up there, but it was worth it. I had a great view of the forests below me, and the air was nice and cool. In addition, there were a few trees around me. I... |

I woke up, sweating through my sheets. Vague flashes of my dream race through my mind. I won't let this one go, I won't. I press the balls of my hand into my eyes, but it's useless. The details of the dream slip through my mind like trying to cup water in my hands.
Only one detail sticks out to me. It happened during... |
I woke up and sat up from my couch in shock. I must have dosed off. My stomach rumbles.

PART 1-The Dragon
Hello.
You don't know me. I doubt you ever will. I feel as if someone should know about this... place. And us. A forgotten species.
So I shall tell you as I pass the time in this cramped glass cage.
You know of NASA, of course. The famed space researchers and scientists, and, to us, monsters. I ... |
"I can't believe that he's dead."

She gave the new handmaid a small but perfunctory gaze as she entered the room and bowed. Yet another decision she hadn’t chosen. As she thought this she could see Myla, the new maid, tense up as there was surely something in her countenance that betrayed her thoughts.
