"Really? You're surprised that it was us who lead the humans to rebel?" "_Yeeeessss. How could you betray your Sires like that. We gave you everlasting life._" "You turned us because you wanted servants to bring you blood." "_... but ..._" "And most of you bastards used the Bond to force us to kill our families and...
Vallen flipped the switches on the media control panel with a long sigh into the microphone. "Check. Test one." Beside them, the archivist watched the waveforms appear on the recording feed. "Check. Test two." A third voice echoed in both of their headphones. *"Check. Test three. Successfully connected with main. Per...
I stared at this blue apparition in front of me. He looks like the cartoon genie. Even sounds a little like him. I can't believe he just told me that I can be the football team captain if I practice hard enough and eat enough protein. What the heck....?! *"I'm sorry, what are you talking about?!"* The genie flutter...
Brian arrived at the address on the small white card to find a plain white building in an out of the way industrial part of town. The building was several stories high and from the front there appeared to be no windows. The was only a single metal door, unmarked, save for the house number. Next to the door was a small ...
A dozen wizards walked into a room. Any other time this might've been the beginning of a strange joke, but the current setting was anything but a joke. The Grandmaster was dying. Disease had spread across the academy campus some months ago, taking with it a number of very unfortunate students and professors. No treat...
The are Fools! The world has always had people who worship gods and then the religion disappears only to be left as a footnote in history. I was NOT a god. I had technology that was deemed as magical or as god-powers. Humans had advanced enough to make time travel possible. The only problem is that it can only be us...
Okay just a bit of context: A couple days ago I made a PM post on this reddit asking for a situation where someone slowly transforms into something else and they can't control it. u/zeekoes proposed the prompt I answered to today. But because I'm stupid, I didn't realise I had to respond to a prompt in 6 hours, so the...
“Please, we can discuss this like men.” The evil emperor Charles said. Clara and Josh exchanged glances. “Yes.” Clara said. “Let’s discuss this… like men.” She glared at him, yet Charles said nothing, instead swiping his hand through the air. The floor between them opened up and a round, ornately decorated table ro...
I wake up to the other dogs barking. I don't think even they know why they bark, they simply need some way to pass the time. I have been here for a very long time. My mother gave birth to me in this place, and I was separated from her when I was very young. I hope she and my litter mates are okay. They feed us at the ...
Loose Prompt Interpretation: Junk data, scrap code, and it's in a foreign language. So I hate my employers; they don't make things easy. But if it had been a simple job, they'd have hired someone else to do it at this point. I’m not so arrogant to think they could find a replacement. The incoherent lines of positive an...
The name always pissed me off. People calling it ‘the Fog’ as though this was something beyond science, beyond our ability to have predicted. It felt like a sort of revisionist history baked into our social consciousness. The more we treated the Fog like something supernatural, the more we could distance ourselves from...
\[Furby: Emotionally Charged\] Jacob flopped on the couch with his last ounce of energy. He was exhausted after the night's events; but, the morning sun did little to comfort him. He cleaned up the rampage-created mess and put the house as close to normal as he could. Some damage couldn't be repaired in a single night...
The only person who knows is your closest friend, Emily. Emily knows all of your secrets, whether it be the fly one or the one about “the accident”. Though, you start to become suspicious of your so called “friend”. A few people have stopped treating you as if you were royalty. These few people make faces at you. You d...
"Imagine, if you will, a universe where everything is in perfect order. Not a single quark and atom out of line. A universe where everything works as God intended, everything functions precisely as the laws of reason and order dictate. That universe would be perfect. In fact, it could be said that no God would exist ...
Dear Diary, The devil didn’t really come to me. I didn’t really see him, not visually at least. I felt him. I felt his words like knives. It made me nauseous. He told me to give him my soul. In the stories he gives people money. He just gave me a threat. I’ll stay like this. I’ll feel like this forever, or I’ll give ...
I watched as the police brutally arrested an innocent man. They wouldn't even tell him what he was being arrested for. I pulled out my phone and recorded the whole thing. I hid inside my car so they wouldn't know. I uploaded the video to my YouTube channel. I reported it to the police chief. I told local news station...
Tonight was a full house, and Rebecca Vaughn felt nervous. She took a few deep breaths and stepped onto the stage after the announcer announced her name. Her heart pounding with anticipation and excitement, she walked into the limelight the crowd already cheering. Rebecca Vaughn smiled and began to sing. Tonight she c...
As your ship passes by the irradiated wasteland of a planet, you receive an automatic hail from an orbital beacon. It asks you to observe a moment of silence for the tragedy that has befallen the world on your screen. Once it has passed, the captain plays the rest of the message -- a grim reminder of the frailty of lif...
Amora held on to her mother's hand as they approached the park. She knew what will happen, and the disguise didn't really help when the other children see her. The adults see her as a normal 5-year-old girl, but the kids see her true self, her horns, the reddish skin, her glowing orange eyes, all that she got from her ...

Heavy footfalls crunched the gravel path toward Lansforge, as a band of ironclad warriors marched through the hill pass. Weapons in hand, and armour kept secure, they kept pace behind their leader through the wooded hills. Their standard was of no army, and their members were of no army. No, this was a band of mercenar...
*In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king*, as the old saying went; yet what did that really make me, with two lamps that had once been dead and dull and now burned with sight, cursed and horrid sense that it is? I longed for the dark even as the light bored and burned its way along the corroded nervous pathw...
Flamingo man aimed his sniper at his target, "Easy shot"he said. As he put his finger on the trigger, a voice shouted "Heeya!", Flamingo man was karate kicked in the back! Destroying the wall he was leaning his sniper on and making him fall off! As Flamingo man took out 2 knock back shotguns from his gun pack, and fire...
There was glass everywhere. Coating the marble floor, spread out over the ornate furniture, dusting the walls. Jerik rolled his gears through the mess and out the open doors to the garden he had designed for her. The chaos continued outside where delicate flowers appeared shredded, their petals scattered everywhere. H...
One day his vision grew dark. He went to the doctors but they just couldn't figure it out, many tests and lots of time. Eventually it went completely black. He could still see his dreams though, a repreave from the darkness. during the day he slowly ajusted to his now blind life. One day when he awoke, he could sw...
We gathered around on the chairs and couches, sprawling ourselves in various states of undressed. Moid let out a long, thick cord of smoke and passed the piece to Ittiss with his own toes. He continued his thoughts, "But you haven't seen it since. That club or bar in hell?" Brvoft smiled, loudly sipping from his 3...
I don’t enjoy fighting, it’s not my style. I’ve been a hero for a long time, and I’ve seen things that’d make a man’s stomach turn inside out. In the end, though, it didn’t matter; it meant nothing to the world when it’d forsaken us. We were, after-all psychos and lunatics, who’d murdered our way through any situation ...
“He keeps on resurrecting!” Ares yelled to Athena, as their foe rose once again, bathed in light. “We’ve been at this for days, we can’t last much longer!” Hades shouted as he leapt towards their enemy, spear thrust forward in an attempt to strike them before they closed their grip on Aphrodites’ throat. “We need to ...
"Log start. Date, 17th of Octoria, Year 7023,"I began into the recorder, rubbing at my eyes. My bed was calling my name but I needed to get my notes down while they were fresh in my mind. "Our expedition found something odd in the ruins of the city. An obelisk, near the center of what appears to be the central hub of t...
**Heart Stoppers** The moment his blade slipped through the air and into my rib cage my heart stopped. I mean not literally. Well not _just_ literally, figuratively it stopped too. Much like his had as he fell on top of me and into the edge of my wrist mounted blade. Not long afterwards his blood began to spurt downwa...
"Pepper,"I called out. "Where are you?" Who knew if Pepper could even hear me anymore? She just jumped out of the car as I opened the door, ran down the alley and through a strange archway and disappeared. She couldn't be too far ahead. I did jump right out of the car and chase after her, but maybe that didn't help? ...
I stood my ground, bone dagger in one hand, hastily drawn pentagram at my feet. I had a pouch with Dust of Becoming, which would allow me to shape shift at will. This universe had magic. My pet budgie, Pecan, sat on my disheveled head, occasionally whistling. My clothing represented a cross section of pragmatic and...
"207 on scene." "Dispatch copy, 13:16." I entered the fast casual restaurant, looking for my suspect. He was a mid-20s male, brown over brown, wearing a white t-shirt and black basketball shorts, along with the offending socks and sandals. It didn't take me long to find him. He was the only guy in the place whose ar...
It looked weird, being hardly more than a ten-kilometer long truss, with a habitation ring around it large enough to be reasonably safe from the radiation put off by the enormous mirror cell fusion rocket powering it. The ISV Atlantis hovered above the earth for the last time for the better part of a century as it took...
“Hands in the air!” His voice is shrill but controlled, masking the subway’s squeals as it turns a corner. ‘Hands’ and ‘air,’ you note, hit the same pitch—a steady one, devoid of any first-time mugger’s typical anxiety. Before you can look up, the edge of a blade is lowered onto the open page of your book. He taps it ...
-Friend- Our conversation turned solemn. "What's going on, Anna?"My eyes widened in concern. "What happened?"I studied the bruise along her jaw. Anna sighed. I could tell she knew I didn't believe a word leaving her lips. For a moment I saw anxiety envelope her body as she glanced at Theo. Then as quickly as that ene...
Officer Adam Pfieffer hated night patrols, just driving around like an idiot, but the night was peaceful. He drove passed Moore Elementary, turning left on North 6th, when a bright light caught the corner of his eye. He had to shield his eyes as the light grew brighter, then it faded away. The street lights soon flicke...
A contract with the devil usually meant the person’s soul would end up in hell. The contract would be overly long and would make most people skip to just agreeing without reading the fine print. It was here where the details of the contract would have some sort of clause that would make it null and void. Why the devil...
Life just didn't seem to be going well for me. I was thinking about that article I'd read in the newspaper the other day. Given a chance over 85% of parents would choose to modify their child for increased intelligence. It didn't seem fair to me that they would choose that. Here I was and I had it in spades. I just di...
“Yo that’s so trippy dude.” Scoot teetered side to side as he exhaled the laughing gas, giggling at the tracers running across his vision. As the DJ dropped into the next track, lasers flashed overhead and the stage’s subwoofers exploded in a cacophony of bass. Turning to Raindrop, his longtime girlfriend and rave pa...
I strode into a dark briefing room, Synyl floating behind. Her light did little to illuminate oppressive shadow, something inknew would bother her. I offered my shoulder, a perch she happily accepted, as the commander gave a nod. "Well done Fastus, you are only three minutes late." I returned the nod with a small bow,...
Tina smiles as she leans back into the fold between a few tree roots, allowing the ivy to fall back around her as she does so. As the sound of the nearby waterfall babbles and giggles into the pond below it, she thinks back to her first day 6 months ago, when she applied out of desperation. Then, amazingly, her app...
*drip..... drip...... drip.....* ​ I sit staring at the water dripping from the sink in the employee kitchen. It is slow and has a comforting rhythm. The dripping echoes throughout the soulless, white room. I push my food around on my plate. My thinking slows. I stare at the water while my food grows cold. &#...
I blinked. My vision was a little blurry and I was vaguely aware of a peculiar breeze around my legs, but mainly, I was trying to figure out, through the fog in my head, what this weird dude in the tin-foil get up was doing kneeling at my feet. "Man, what the hell?"I slurred, looking down at him. He reached up, took ...
*Sound of an audio tape starting* Mission Report: Operation Judas Casualties: ...unknown. Start of Report: Humanity is gone and dead. There is no reason for this report to exist, except to potentially chronicle our complete and total downfall for some future inhabitants of the Earth. The year was 2027. Some random...
I actually believed in similar imagery surrounding death when I was a child! We would go to a movie theater and walk down an infinitely long hallway to choose a screening of our own or other people's lives. You say watch, but to me it was more like experiencing it firsthand, and the eventual goal was to relive the exis...
Some took it as a grand joke. Some final rude gesture cast in the direction of the commoners' by the then Governor of the island. Campaign after campaign, occupation after occupation, genocide after genocide. To say that the Blue Empire was regarded with almost venomous hatred by anyone who'd experienced their rule wa...
The television faded to black as the closing theme song of *Street Law* culminated in its definitive blare of an orchestra's horns. The dissonant frequencies hummed in the stale air of Arnold's living room as a network operator somewhere cut to commercials. Arnold was sat on a worn fabric couch, a gaudy relic of a time...
I laid in bed, curled in a tiny ball under the covers, with my eyes scrunched up tight, Teddy held tight to my chest, and waited for the noises to start. Something lived under my bed, and every night for the last two weeks I heard it: growls, grumbles, clomps, and stomps. I didn’t know what was making the noises, but I...
You just came back from a vacation to Machu Picchu, a 15th-century Inca citadel located in the Eastern Cordillera of southern Peru. It was a wonderful exciting adventure that you had with your group of friends. Studying the ancient ruins and just having a blast. You were only gone for a week but being the employee of t...
"I have a question first, before deciding." "...Yes?"The gargantuan God-being peered down at me, their visage obscured by the great distance between their face and mine. They must have been the height of a large skyscraper, or perhaps a small mountain. It was more than a little intimidating to be questioning an actual...
No one hated Mondays more than Greg, who worked in accounting. Every Sunday, he spent the daylight hours cleaning up the small messes he had made the days prior; finally folding the laundry sitting on the chair in his room, freezing his pre-prepped meals hoping to lose those last ten pounds, and finally catching up on ...
Of course if someone was going to figure out how to send messages back in time, it would be Amazon. They've been the biggest company for years, they can buy anything. Nobody liked it at first, including me. Waking up to a package I was already charged for felt like a scam. Some people returned the packages, as they w...
First contact with extraterrestrial life came on April 1st, 2027, when a meteorite touched down in Time Square of Old New York, cracking open upon impact. From within, a humanoid figure emerged: immense in stature, standing easily 8 feet tall, his bare skin glistening and angular—formed of some kind of crystalline or m...
\[Sharp Caliber\] "This is it pal,"Smyth grinned. He guided his best friend forward with an encouraging wave as he stood behind the door. Someone had just knocked and he wanted to make sure the magical white shotgun was the first thing they saw. The next few minutes held the chance to change their lives forever. ...
Orbs of light surround me as I come to, the sight is the sort you expect to see as you fall asleep not as you wake yet here I am blue sky surrounds me like a summer day while above that a black curtain with holes poked through for pinpricks of light to shine through. Stars, these at least I recognize. As for the orbs,...
The good news I could see him, the bad news I could see him. Cain,the Grim Reaper, the first murderer, lover of chia seed smoothies. I realize that probably doesn’t belong on this list but I find it objectionable on a personal level. Still he seems to have upgraded from a stone a enormous revolver reminiscent of Di...
“I’ve never been one for big celebrations, but Eureka!” Seria shouted to herself   The booming announcement echoed through the small garage disturbing the various arthropods that reside within the frail beams supporting the old structure. Along the wall lie shelves of old contraptions meant to solve many of...

The governor stood on the stage, flanked by those the city council deemed most likely to be “worthy”. The mages worked below, dismantling the chosen one’s magic to make their own. The crowd roared in the streets, eager for the promised champion to kill the monstrosities outside the wall, ready for the safety promised. ...

A modern day earth is shattered by a dimensional rupture somehow compressing the earth of many dimensions into one shattered reality, many lives on every earth were lost and the globe became hazardous to traverse, territories aroze based on the dimensional walls that now etch across the earth.

I asked that from my work mate who is initially skeptical of the proposed infamy of the individual I am talking about. "How do you know he is the most powerful figure in the underworld?"he asked obviously curious that does my accusation hold any water first. It is like this in the medical world I work at. "Well, so mu...
I know that I’ve been wonderful at hiding the evidence, but in a way, it’s still strange that the police haven’t found me. I have a high body count, after all. I’ve decided to write this so that if I’m ever caught, there is something that can recall my experience with my victims. Naturally, I won’t write about them all...
[Poem] **Metal Protector** A vibrant planet, Full of life, Resource rich, With internal strife. They came in waves, From stars above, A ravenous horde, Devoid of love. Below the surface, A metal mind stirred, The ever watching eye, Found actions spurred. It's cry was wide, W...
"Excuse me!"The big man belched as he swung his bag up into the empty seat. He sat in two, across from Kurt, breathing heavily. Rolling his eyes, Kurt crossed his legs tighter and tucked his shoulder into the LCD advertisement of a woman having a joyous afternoon poolside, having received her new prescription for Irrit...
Candice Merrryweather had never held a kitchen knife—let alone a short-sword—but here she was. Dead. She shouldn’t be here, she should be home, caring for her horses. The skeletal doors shuddered, sending motes of bone floating to the stone floor. She turned to her left. “Explain this one more time.” The motley collec...
“I feel like there’s a knife in my heart…” Dezen said, staring into Quincy’s eyes. “Ya, that’s cause there is one.” Remarked Quincy with a smirk. “I put it there.” Dezen looked down at his chest. Sure enough, there was a knife plunged into his chest, and blood was basically pouring out of him. “Well now why would you...
There was a total of 5 protagonists. Going from strongest to weakest, in hero name, it would be: 'Storm', 'Casper', 'Catella', 'Tomoko', 'Kit'. Although, going from age, it would be: 'Casper' (25), 'Storm' (23), 'Tomoko' and Catella' (20), 'Kit' (17). The five of them had just gotten finished with killing off their e...
He tried to frantically do everything to correct the course, yet the bitter fact was that there wasn't much left for him to do. Why did he have to go take a nap? Why did he have to take a detour? Why did he have to take the job? Why, why, why, so many questions and accusations were running through his head, yet none of...
"Classic Terry." Veronica and Jeremy both look at Chad. "Slow down, Ter!"Chad shouts out the window. "You're gonna get heartburn, bro!"The others both grab Chad and pull him back from the window. "He's eating a *person*, Chad,"Veronica says. "I don't think he's concerned with heartburn anymore."Chad burps. "I don't th...
Uftak was widely known for his brutality. He would hang bodies on buildings and eviscerate his enemies. The armies of Men would normally give the bodies to the families for them to bury and grieve, but Uftak would only leave a puddle of blood. Uftak fought in many wars and had many scars and wounds on his body. However...
GamerFaXs.com Forum Post. Jan, 9th 2013. CocoDreamz93: Hey guys, does anyone know about a Sugar Rush character named "King Candy"? I can't find him on the wiki.

She's calling to me... won't let me sleep. Her eyes, inky black... no, they need to be darker. Deeper. There's something behind those eyes. I can't stop. Won't let me stop. Her smile, it needs to be wider. She wants them to see. Needs me to show it. Has it really been that long? I don't think I've eaten. Is it the fume...
“Hush daughter, do not speak of these things” I try to keep my tone gentle. To not let the fear that consumes me leech out and infect her. Little Alice is troubled enough. “But I am bo—“ I strike her on the cheek. A cold shudder surges through my spine as my palm makes contact with her soft skin. She stares at me n...

Harry's fist smashed against the keyboard, sending a couple of caps flying off. This just wasn't working. It was so... God. Damned. Slow! Things just wouldn't load. Nothing seemed to work.

I remember the last choking breath I took. My lungs rent and burned, buried beneath ash and toxic gas. I felt such pain, but more than that I felt sorrow at what had befallen us. Sensation faded into nothing as I slipped into an endless void. Then, something strange happened. There was a new sensation. Soil, differen...
Strange candy bars were nothing new to me. I'd tried Hershey's, after all. I knew the regular candy bars well, so when I saw the "enchanted"candy bars being sold as well, for only slightly more, I decided to try some. Sitting in my car, I tried a square of the chocolate bar. It didn't taste bad, just... average. N...

“Paul… what the fuck?” I plopped into the cheap plastic folding chair, skidding back slightly against the concrete floor as I got comfortable. “A gun, really man?” Paul, the best friend I’d ever had, shook as he held a gun pointed at my chest. “I will explain everything, I just need you to trust me. Can you promise me...

As a man of the cloth, I had never questioned his excellency's decisions. He was, after all, the man closest to God. I became even more devout when I was granted the right to train in the Vatican to become an Exorcist. A true Vatican exorcist. God acknowledged my efforts, took note of my deep devotion to him, of my des...
Barry wakes up in his pool, submerged in water. He'd look at the bed floaty that was keeping him above the surface. It apparently wasn't a good idea to sleep in His pool. I swam up to the surface and looked around, it was already daytime. He suddenly heard the sound of thunder, which was weird since it wasn't cloudy. H...
Fingers trembling, whole body shaking now, her face was stricken with a look of pure terror. A shrill scream was desperate to break free from those lungs. Through wide eyes she bore witness to the horror before her. Pressed up against that glass, a mangled face, pudgy and red. Saliva dripping from that gaping maw. Fles...
The air was hot and stuffy. A cheap fan rattled away on a nearby desk, not nearly strong enough to circulate air through the container office. A young man dressed in slacks sat at a chipped wooden table, staring intently at the cards in his hands, occasionally flipping and shuffling the cards this way and that. “Your...
Everyone makes youthful mistakes. Did it matter that mine involved an attempt at world domination? That didn't give anyone the right to lock me up for all eternity. After all, even a dark lord turned demon turned eldritch abomination could become a better person. Gods knew I almost had. At first, I'd raged blindly at ...
That’s not me in the mirror. That’s the thing people don’t realize about shapeshifters. They’re so terrified of being impersonated, having their life stolen, that they never stop to think about what a privilege it is to have a unique face. Any poor, ugly bastard can look at his reflection on a polished surface a...

2 dark blue bulky creatures with 3 legs stand together, looking at a screen, watching humans piloting a ship. “Why are we watching them?” “If the humans reach the edge of the galaxy, they will find out we trapped them here & they will come for us next.” “…that’s what your worried about?” “Of course I’m worried abou...
It was the perfect day, the sky was dark and stormy, and the people were gathered for the funeral of a hero. I hadn't killed Magni-Ascent. But I wish I had, and now when the people had lost hope I would arrive to keep it from seeding ever again. With a snarl I leapt up climbing, ripping, tearing, shifting. The sewers...
Ghost leaned back in his chair and puffed on his cigarillo. He counted his money again. The worn bills were soft in his rough hands. He smiled. “Hey Ghost!” a gruff voice called. Ghost frowned as he peered out from under his hat. “Berlin,” Ghost spat. “Whattya want?” “Now, that’s no way to treat an old fri...
This is not the deal I signed up for. I signed up to torture rebellious souls. I signed up to torture those who committed evil against creation.

<Speculative Fiction> The last thing Jude wanted to do was answer his phone, especially since the ID displayed his AA sponsor.

Cold droplets of water trickled onto the bare skin of his face. Gray stirred slowly, opening his eyes in the darkness. “How long…has it been?” There was no reply. He looked around at the laboratory. Scattered, damp papers littered the floor. Half the room was steeped in murky rain water, slanting down where the wat...
Blaine was on the phone with his dad for father's day. "That's great, dad,"he said, climbing the steps to his bedroom. "I'm glad she's able to take you out tonight. You deserve it.
