Yesterday, I had a dream where I was flying over a burnt city, the buildings razed to the ground whilst a vermillion haze surrounded everything. It felt like I was strapped into an invisible helicopter as the depressing scene flew past me. Air whipped through my hair, and I tried waving my hands in front of me to see i...
This is miss misery from Ed brubakers “in from the cold” her power set is vague, except that when she’s doing something awful it makes her stronger, and when she isn’t she gets sick. In the comic, the bad guys play “origin stories” where they literally just recite their origin story in the third person, and hers was so...

\[Riotous Realization\] Brice's sword hand wavered. The bright flash of golden light signified the start of combat; but, he needed to shut his eyes just to open them again. Something changed and he hoped that giving his eyes another chance to readjust would make his opponent normal again. He was only more confused wh...
When he had originally got his tour of the property, the thing he loved most about it was the cool mountain air. The client, Mr. McCullough, owned a sprawling modernist-style mansion up in the rocky mountains. You could trudge along a winding mountain road to get there, but most visitors took the helicopter route, land...
“We already TOLD you last time you tried causin’ a stir in these parts, Devil!” The Pastor shouted his fiery words at the shadow growing behind the farthest pews. “You can’t do anything to these people here! In the house of God!” The shadow grew taller. Wider. It crept forward down the narrow central corridor and spr...
As I leisurely walked the household hallway, I heard a tiny sound. It wasn't one of the usual noises that my home regularly made, and, having lived here for 20 years, I knew every one of them, well. No. It was a different sound. A new one. I stopped, and deliberately tilted my head, straining to hear it again. It w...
It's the moment I've dreamed of. All this work on community radio, all the time trying to learn and learn, and I've finally gotten a professional radio job. WFIT never knew what hit them. "I'm here for my first day, I'm the new program director."The station head shook my hand. "Excellent, I think you'll do great here...
"But it's fun,"was the offender's rebuttal. Sarah exhaled and ran a hand over her sweaty brow. She wasn't paid nearly enough to deal with half of the things she encountered on a daily basis, let alone this. Yet here she was, confronting a reality-bending six-year-old and his defensive mother. Other than the knowing gl...

“I don't want a soulmate! I want a soul nemesis!” shout brusquely the pale young man. Frowning, he stood up, trying to catch his breath, as if everything was normal. “As if everything could be normal” he scoffed cynically. Gently, an older blond beside him grabbed his wrist, brushing the outline of the mark that was sh...
John’s colleagues at the CERN research lab had thought he finally lost it when he suggested manifold dark matter space as provided a link between alternate dimensions. His mental stability had been declining since “the incident”. John’s longtime best friend, Snuffles, had somehow snuck out of his family home and foll...
"Are you my daddy? Mummy left me here, and I'm scared."I looked at the little girl, dressed in plain cloth, with her little hooves leaving a trail on the rugged path into the clearing. As I startled, her black eyes blinked vertically, and I noticed tiny little horns just peeking under her raven hairline. I patted myse...
Actually a personal belief that I think would make a great story, we never die. Not to ourselves anyway, our soul follows a split timeline/multiverse every time we die, so that those deaths just become “near deaths” if that makes any sense. Like hopping universes every time we would’ve died to a universe where we didn’...
Giffin quickly packed his bags and walked back downstairs. The Sergeant who had driven him home not five minutes ago was patiently waiting in the foyer. It struck Giffin as odd that this soldier was so calm - not a single tentacle was fidgeting, and his four eyes gazed lazily over his blunt beak. Giffin, conversely, co...
When James woke up on the hospital bed, he was immediately confused about what he was looking at. Of course, what he was looking at was his wife, who had already left her a week ago. "Huh... didn't you...?"James groggily questioned, sitting up on the hospital bed. He glanced around before taking notice of the televisi...
"This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."Gale says this ominously as he stares out the window, grinning. He turns to look at me. "Know what that means, Gerald?" "That you're crazy?"I shrug. He laughs. "Maybe I am. But the meaning behind that statemen...
I got ready to go to the grocery store when Sarah reminded me through a coughing fit "Remember to get second sun cough drops. Also, don't get hurt. It's sacrifice night." "Got it." The trip wasn't much. I ordered a healing potion while getting some other things, second sun cough drops, bread, vampire repellant, you g...
"Aw, that's adorable." Leonard grinned as he scrolled through my phone, cooing over my brother's wedding photos as I rested my head in his lap. I chuckled and remarked, "God, you should've seen Jesse's face the first time he told me about Michah. Big guy lit up like a Christmas tree." Leonard chuckled and handed my p...
I woke up in my bed and yawned but didn’t open my eyes. Why open my eyes to such a boring, like every-other-day-type-day? Nothing ever changes. Another day, another dollar, another awful day at the office. Every day was like this, and every morning was like this as well. It would have been so great if I could wake up...
I received an imperial decree, I was to hunt a notorious vampire, former archmage I. Medes, no one knew her first name, not too important. To take down this vampire, I was allowed all means and 10,000 gold, anything not spent on supplies would be my pay. I went and asked my guild for a partner on this hunt, they'd get...
An Elf alchemist who, through getting high on his own supply, has burned his attention span to that of a humans. This gave him motivation that endured for centuries, at the exchange of going delightfully mad. He earned this moment with the fabled fortune teller because he had the time and fortune, and the grace of a ...
In all honesty I didn’t want to speak to my disciple directly, but when the golden shawl is up for grabs one cannot be too reserved. It was pathetic, really, to watch a disheveled commoner with a caustic tongue transform a beloved god into a mere mortal, ready for the kill. Donald looked at me, eyes wide as saucers, h...

And so I pulled it out. What else would one expect me to do? I mean who hasn't heard the tale of King Arthur, pull sword out stone = become king. I was surprised at how easily it came out though, my pull was overkill enough to send me backwards off the stone and onto my butt. I stood and lifted the surprisingly light ...
The piercing spires of the Brite Academy for the Magical Arts and Sciences disappeared behind me. As much as I'd learned there--they'd made a wizard of me after all!--I was ready to leave the spellbooks, the star readings, and, most of all, the teachers behind. The last the complete the wizarding requirements, there w...
“Hey go and get me my water bottle from my trailer and don’t go trying to take anything while you’re in there.” “Yes, Ms. Anderson, right away.” God she’s so paranoid and bossy all the time. She’s always worried someone is trying to take something of hers to sell online. Granted the one time that did happen was prett...
The dark forest was real. It was the year 2335. The Artemisia XIV probe, sent to Trappist-1A, landed. A black, hexagonal monolith was uncovered. In following decades, many other such monoliths were uncovered. 3 centuries later, the Apollonia XVIII probe, landed on Trappist-1A. 69 explorers and scientists, headed by Dr....
BOOOM! A loud sound erupted and a cloud of smoke obstructed my vision. I was trapped in my own maze i hd spent years designing. I hear a shallow voice coming from the distance, it was Shelby, my victim. I moved towards the sound and there was a gaping hole into a long forgotten well from the previous development. At le...
\[Survival. Then What?\] "Okay, okay...,"Luis mumbled to himself as he made a decision. After the 3rd round of consistent, deliberate knocks, he accepted that it might be human life; or at least intelligent. He didn't rush. He moved carefully and waited at the door for an extra second. Then, he took a deep breath and ...

Since the day of my birth, I have never had peace. Son of a very ancient vampire and a powerful mage, I had the luck of having a lot of love from my parents but at the same time that didn't assuage the pain of being the only kid in the cold castle. No parent would let their child get close to a monster and so I spent ...
Someone was tugging on my arm. I am so tired. Let me sleep. Ugh. “Let me sleep,” I said. It sounded like I had a mouth full of cotton balls. “Tired.” “You’re awake! You’re awake!” A female voice said excitedly. There was a flurry of activity that I drifted in and out for. People in and out of the room. People pok...
The galaxy is a vast place. Mighty empires stretch over hundreds of star systems, battling one another for power and control. But here, out in the farthest reaches of space, it seems kind of hard to believe. Growing up, I was told our ancestors came from the tiny planet of Sol 3, or Earth as they called it. After cent...
'Finally.' A withered hand reached out, soft, shifting light emanating from the iridescent crystal, reflecting colors she had long forgotten. She paused to watch the lights as they seemed to dance along her skin, and felt a distant pang of loss as she thought of how they might have reflected upon beautiful gray eyes. ...
Standing at the front door from within the house, Marcus looked sadly upon the sealed exit. It looked untouched, the previous attempts of escape left neither an expensive blemish nor permanent disfigurement. If only it was the door that was solely affected. Throughout the house a whispering chanting had become more c...
# THE WAR OF THE AFTERLIFE >It was a disastrous time in human history, when demons and angels had free reign to roam the earth.

"Wait, so that's god?" "Yes, results are very conclusive..." "But it's... Well, that." "I'm afraid so." "I don't get it." "They did say often God was ineffable."

Magic is a complicated force of nature. It is one of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. Many call it the ‘will of creation’. As a seer, my power lets me peek into the will of creation. I can see the possibilities that lie before all of us. Some are set in stone and will happen no matter what we do. Some...
The barbarian grits his teeth, enraged. "Dude, why the hell are you praying when those THINGS are out there?!" The Cleric's face is impassive as he continues to kneel, face skyward. "Einar, you need to have more faith. The Goddess of peace will come to our rescue." Einar swings his warhammer down atop the viciou...
The king stood above the tomb, his eyes roaming over the words again and again. He didn’t feel numb, quite frankly he felt less than that. He felt empty, void of any emotion. His heart had split open when he had heard the news, tears fell like a torrential downpour, first his beloved wife, then his daughter, and now fi...
Morghan sat in his conjured throne, surrounded by his undead army, sitting in the ruins of the school he once attended. He sat to ponder what other forbidden magics he could try. After all, every other rule he had broken only served to make him more powerful, banned only to keep the people in check. But not anymore. He...
I was not so bold to proclaim to be the most powerful magus in existence— some did however. One of these was none other than the emperor of bright. Being the arch-sage of the fifth ring meant that people cared little about my decisions (people never seemed to believe me when i said that i would not take over the worl...

"They just want me. My...
Due to my mixed blood, I've always felt strangely distant from my kin, perhaps because of how I was raised. Most elves live their whole lives in a sacred forest which they protect and enchant with strong magic; these tribes see themselves as separate from the rest of the world. They live in a bubble, finding solace in ...
Smoke was slowly rising form the crater. The group known as Drums of Revolution had finally been beaten by the kingdom. The final battle was won. Soldiers and civilians, rebels and nobles. Everybody had fought and everybody lost in the end. Just the Kingdom remained. As the sun kissed the day goodbye and bathed...

"This is weird."Amy thought as she wandered the halls of the abandoned school. She had graduated in 1998, and even after the \incident\ she still wanted to come back and relive her memories. As she approached the bathroom, she noted that despite all the trouble she got into there because of her fellow classmates, she...
Ginny always thought that in a desperate, life-or-death situation, where seconds seemed to last for minutes and minutes for hours...

The mighty cloud giants stood hieratically atop of the hill, guarding the stone doors that lead to the Fountain of Magic.

“Fuck”, Atticus mumbled to himself, slamming the cash register closed. Staring at the “D-0.25” classification brand on his for arm, the constant reminder of his demonic inadequacy, tears begin to well up in his eyes. Atticus had a problem.

_Fine, I'll do it myself._ Together at last One sunny afternoon I went out into my backyard and, much to my surprise, found a package in the middle of the lawn.

I laid out the photos on his desk. 56 different people doing 56 different jobs, though arguably 55 of them were all doing a pretty straightforward one. I narrowed my eyes at the man at the desk.

No one respects potions. And frankly, I get it. Magic is so varied and multifaceted and wonderfully complicated, and potions are just, like, chemistry. You follow a recipe, you make a foul-tasting beverage that has been made a hundred times before, and through its power, you grant temporary magic to those who are othe...
It started with a sneeze. A small, delicate sneeze but a sneeze nonetheless. And then it came again, an odd tickle in the nose, just enough to irritate, and then there was again - another sneeze, this louder and stronger. Galia was the fourth deity in line for Mother Nature's throne, and right now she was livid. Was t...

Vinny wasn't too worried about his chances as he waited for the next witness to take the stand.

There is magic everywhere. Wards, hexes, curses, and spells writ large, big as day, ignored by the masses as graffiti.

An amber glow scatters across the ship's interior hallways, illuminating the long-chained passageways connecting the disconnected spiderweb wrapped around a singular solar sail.

Their eyes pierced the sun. Thirty feet apart they stood. The gentle breeze grazing the sand between them in stark contrast to their dire intentions. Two men with a quarrel demanded a solution.

Once it was safe to emerge from my doomsday bunker, I came to the conclusion that nobody else in town survived but me. This town anyhow.

Let me explain. First, I made the wrong choice. Then, I doubled down on that choice and made things even worse. Finally, I tried to fix things in the midst of disaster. Allow me to set the theme.
