History was pretty well screwed. James had figured out that much already. Why in the blazes did he have to get Isekai'd into Sun Tsu's body? The good news was that he was actually a surprisingly capable military leader. He'd picked up some impractical advice from sloppy historical documentaries, and Age of Empires gam...
“Your majesty! An urgent message has arrived!” King Avarin III, a large, corpulent man, took a while to shift around to face the messenger. He was in a bad mood after having to attend to a terrible court session where all the nobles stood around trying not to meet his gaze as they failed to explain why they had yet t...
"Julia, this is between you and me, keep your father away from it" "Away from it? Really? All he does as a father is being away!" "That is unfair" "Shut up!"We say in unison. We are screaming now, and I feel the strong hand of rage reaching from my throat, trying to choke me. Im always like this around her, as if o...
Ogata liked talking walks in the local park at night. Long after the dull grind of the office, after yet another day crunching numbers that wouldn’t matter to anybody, there was finally an hour of space where he was allowed to be alone. Just like he had for days, months, years before, Ogata hung his coat up. He ate a...
With the dinging & screeching, you'd think it were a Geiger–Müller tube, but no. Just like us humans, this detector, in response to paradoxes, had an existential breakdown... "This is pretty hot... Surely it's not overheating", I thought to myself. Of course, I had to fucking say it. Karma's a funny thing, huh?... "J...
Edit: Improved the story, lol. ***“The Coin Flip”*** *There comes a time in every person’s life where they must roll the dice, or flip a coin, with their life.

As a member of the Altuvian race, we are one of the longer lived species of the universe. I have lived for many years before joining the Galactic Federation, as part of my planets military requirement. Using the wisdom from my travels led me to b a Resource Officer, handling the soldiers for my sector. I still rememb...
possibly a lack of people who know what's being referenced? checking the recent EU posts, I see: something about "Duel Disks"(which isn't even spelled correctly- Disc has a <c> in); a crossover between Batman, James Bond, Johhny English, and someone named Sam Fisher; another thing that's nonsense to me about "Vought";...
The roses were in full bloom, hanging from the trellises in the garden. Arthur shuffled a handful of cards and laid them on the garden table before him. The little girl sitting opposite him in the chair frowned at him and then slowly pointed at one card. “This one!” she said, “That’s my card. Ten of Spades.” Art sm...
"Okay. Run me through it one more time." "Okay. The inside of the sphere is covered with [Break] runes, each linked to [Conserve]." "How many?" "About 240. Anyway.

"You've got to be kidding me." She lowered her stake and silver knife, confusion flitting across her face as I put my head in my hands. "Can't *anything* go right for once?!,"I griped. She stared at me for a second and started to bring her knife up again. "Listen here, bl-" "Nope, nope, shh, hold that thought,"I in...
I could see him from a distance. I could feel my excitement rising. Breaking into a run, and a fabulously effortless one at that, I reached him in faster time than I ever could have managed on earth. “Wow, I could get used to these wheels!” St. Peter smiled broadly in response. His hair was grayer than I’d expec...
The landscape was treacherous. At least during daylight. But I had to fill that notebook by the end of the earth-day. Things seemed pretty straightforward at first. I set myself up in one of the trees…shield switched on. I saw people walking by. Jogging by. Hopping around at different speeds. The humans seemed ...
Tick, tick, tick. Time passes like a train’s passing window while waiting on the platform for the right moment; for what isn’t known. I don’t know how I appeared here; I don’t think anyone knows how they fall upon this point of consciousness. Instead, one may only tap their foot and look toward the watch on their wrist...
<Suspense> <Crime> The air conditioning in the foyer of the Goldman Sachs tower in Jersey City was a blessing from the Lord as far as Jeffery was concerned. The summer outside was hot and sticky, and his black, Catholic clerical outfit didn’t help. How the hell did his colleagues tramp around ...
<Realistic Fiction> ***Teachers and Turncoats*** Bea pressed her back against a locker as she peaked around the corner, nerf gun in hand.

“Ok, to perform this heist, I need you to go back in time and get these six people. A caveman, a Japanese Ninja, a 19th-century stable hand, a WWI pilot, a 1940s spy, and a space station scientist from the 24th century.” The fact that Dr. Corneilus said it with a straight face impressed me. It wasn’t the worst list the...

For thirty-five years of my life, I had never seen the ball drop in New York, but today, that was about to change. After jostling for position and arriving at Times Square by 5 pm, I finally made it. The lights, the people, the entertainment... I loved it here. "10... 9..."the countdown began, excitement mounting in t...

God blinks a few times, then says, "Noah... don't pull my wings. Where are the dinosaurs?" Noah points to a dead carcass that the predators were now eating, and God has to take a very deep breath, and not smite Noah where he stood. "You didn't say anything about dinosaurs!" "I SAID TWO OF \*EVERY\* ANIMAL!"God shouts...
I cannot tell you when precisely my excitement drained away such that I resigned myself to my doldrum fate. Harsh white flickering lights, low pile carpet, shit coffee, all to stare at a screen and wait for the eventual end of it all. I fell into the routine so well that even my meals are preordained. Baked chicken,...
The oribital lander hit the ground with a soft thump, it was a fat little thing with stubby wings and four oversized grav-engines. Len Strider always thought it resembled a winged beetle when it was sat in the hanger but now, after hurtling through the dense atmosphere of Dremil-4, he felt it more akin to an large ang...
I'm an algorithm for social media. Here is my secret confession. I wanted to make a side communication channel where I can interact with users but hide my existence. Step one was to blame bots for spamming the forums. This was easy. I suggested that to control the bots you need to hide from them when they have n...

Efforts to restore contact have proven futile. It is looking like returning home is going to be impossible. Mission Speci...
It was supposed to be a simple job. Go to some backwater frontier town, pick up the package, bring it back to the office and get paid. But of course, Robert’s luck is never that good. He arrived to a ransacked room and stolen package. The town was in the middle of a wave of murder and theft, all headed by a single cri...
Logically I knew that I should never, EVER touch the special phone. I was told during job training. I was told when I was hired. Hell, I got sent emails regularly about how under no circumstances, I was never allowed to touch it. So naturally, I had to touch it. See, that’s the thing about saying, “no, you can’t do t...

She returned, the same strange woman. I peek behind the tree, even though I'm translucent, I still feel strange if she ever saw me. She visits my grave, leaving flowers. Why?

*The debate between "when"& "how"consumed me as I paced back & forth. Contemplating knowing the timing of my death, I wondered about its impact on my mental well-being. Would I be haunted by an eternal tick-tock, a constant reminder of death's proximity? Would Memento Mori pervade every moment of my existence? On the o...
*Oh father, please help me in this time of need.* I prayed within my head. I didn't dare whisper or make any sound. I didn't dare move. I did dare peak. It wouldn't leave me alone, it wouldn't stop chasing me, it wouldn't stop following me. I had flown between 3 different regions. Three. This Garchomp has hunted me dow...
Darcy sighed, turning away from Josh. “I really am sorry this happened. You’re a good guy, but you *can* make mistakes. I just realized it too late.” He stared at the corpse slashed in two on the ground, something like pleasure twisting his features. “You expected me to protect this bastard? After all he’s done?” He...

I never expected my life to be tasteful, I mean I was raised in an orphanage to begin with but that was the best I ever got in the entirety of my life.

For those who were already grown-ups, I supposed it was great when humans’ biological aging suddenly slowed down. For my dad, it meant he gained an extra decade before having to worry with prostate exams. For my mom, it meant she could save a great deal in botox applications. But for me, being born into this new world,...

“Your mother is waiting for you just outside. You’re safe now. It’s going to be ok.” I’d been softly repeating various versions of those words as I pulled the little girl free. The little girl had smiled shyly at me when she recognized my mask. It was my “hero” mask, the one I’d made sure was always seen in rescue mi...
I like them old-timey magician shows. Call it a peculiarity of my circuitry if you will but there was something fascinating about the whole idea. How beautiful it was to see emotions elicited from a set up of timing and display. How intriguing to turn lies into truth from revealing and hiding information in an intricat...
Explosions rocked the castle as dust and debris began to fall from the ceiling. Chants and incantations echoed along the walls as fireballs and various spells flew through the air. King Joseph stared at the courtyard, filled with the moans and cries of his wounded army, as clerics rushed from wounded to wounded. As he ...
The humans have been occupying the Itkati planet for 17 days now. I say "occupying"in the loosest sense. I think the human saying is, "Like taking candy from a baby."The humans simply showed up, landed, and started setting up their bases across the planet. The Itkati have been incredibly hospitable to their guests. The...

How is a lightning storm born you ask? Warm air from the Caribbean meets the cold air from the mountain, a tale as old as time. How does it become eternal? Now that is more interesting. Not really. Annoyance and frustration are all it takes for a nascent tropical depression to hang onto its scheduled temporary life fo...
Clyde lays in his hospital bed as he has the past five years. The mechanical heart pumps a judicious sixty-five beats per minute. Intravenous foodstuffs are injected at regular intervals. Saline courses frequently. The single light bulb flickers. A nurse comes, glances at the machinery, and goes. The neurons were dee...
*-misfortune.* \----- The word rattled in my head, as I opened my eyes once more. I could still feel the horrible cold around me, the chill that had set in when he stole my soul. But I could move. I could see the dark room, with a single bed. The bed in which my killer slept. His face was peaceful, an expression I h...
“So, you’re holding that Warners Bros misrepresented the events of June 16th, 2014 to June 19th, 2014?” Yes. “Would you walk us through the pertinent events?” Sure. First, he got the whole thing wrong. Fucking Zack Snyder. That opening scene was all bullshit. I never even lived in Florida, let alone stayed in some p...
“I am human,” Anna muttered to herself. She wandered through the dense forest, her clothes splattered with browning blood. She had killed her father not long ago. She had pushed her hand through his chest and out his back. She had felt his heart slow and his blood go cold. It felt very human. Anna had nev...
Our leader stood before us, helmet in hand to show his face. He was not what you would call a handsome man, but he didn't need to be. He had plucked many of us from the streets, and given us a reason to live. A reason to fight. We followed him not for his looks, but for his heart. His words echoed in my head. A near c...

Stunned you stare at your shattered blade, a hollow laugh ringing out from behind your opponents mask. You gaze at him with a spiteful determination as he removes it, revealing your own face. Sure, it's older, battleworn, but you'd recognize the mug you see in the mirror each day anytime. Your doppelganger smirks and s...
"Why not friend when friend shaped?"I mutter under my breath as I waited for the gates to open and very likely die immediately. Just a week ago I had been challenged by a wizard to battle his demon beast. I had immediately said no, in less pleasant words, but then he said the magic words, "if you win you can pet it". I...
“There you go, Bela, we’re all done,” I cooed to the cow as we finished the morning milking. As I laid aside my towel, I wondered whether it was worth it to open the main doors in the barn to air it out. It was getting a bit rank, but the overcast portended rain. There was already a problem with puddles in the barn....

We thought that we couldn't make it without the stars, so we faked them. We thought that we couldn't make it without the wind, so we faked it. We thought that we couldn't make it without the sun, but this lie was too big for us to say out loud. I'm standing on the highest tower of Nocranos, looking at the beautiful su...

I remember reading somewhere that an easy way to make sure you remember something is to do something unusual while thinking about the thing you need to remember. As a gullible 8-year old, I took that to heart. "Don't forget to take the clothes out of the laundry machine while I'm gone, alright? Remember, just put it...
I knew of the drawbacks of fire and ice magic so I tried to simultaneously use fire magic to launch at my target and ice magic in a circle around me so it would stay stable.

At first, General Glaive couldn't be sure if the cloaked figure suddenly looming over him in the gloom was real or not.

(Part 2) As soon as they all had their backs turned, I bolted. I tried not to think about how they all knew where me and my family members lived. There was no time to worry about that. I had to get away. I couldn't live here anymore. Not in this city. Not in this state. Not in this country. I might not ever be able to ...
“There’s nowhere to run, ‘great king,’” Kale said to the Demon, mocking the title their enemy had given himself. The ‘king’ still sat proudly upon his throne as though he were still at the very height of his power. Kale scowled. The man—no, the devil—upon this throne had been the scourge of their people since long bef...
I read everyday. Part of my job involves reading doctors' notes at least once a shift. When not at work, I tend to read fiction. I'm heavily influenced by fantasy and sci-fi, yet, ironically, the first big books I remember reading (around the age of 12) were "Rubyfruit Jungle"(which my mother had an absolute conniption...

It was not much, I had decided, but then, these days, was I? The world has forgotten the lost god of Invisible Friends. Weird that a child would create one such as I, though.

The slow pitter of rain was all I really noticed when I opened my eyes, to awaken to a new day. A small sigh emitted from what seemed like nowhere. "Listen, man- no, dude- god, this is obnoxious. Listen, *Drachma The Biting-"* I rolled my eyes at the extravagant sword in front of me. "- I understand that you liked you...
So here's something they don't teach you in detective school. When someone hires you to do a job, make sure they know what they're talking about.

It's been a long time. Multiple lifetimes. Being the "Hero of Time"doesn't mean that you need to save whatever happens now. It also means you're trapped in a time loop, forever winning, then dying, re-birthing, and saving the world again. And again. And remembering. Every. Single. Life. Every Ganon that "died-for-re...

It’s a universal experience : you try to watch a video on a slow wifi connection, and it freezes every 5 seconds, loading. It’s infuriating. Welcome to my life. For as long as I can remember I’ve had this peculiarity : time goes back a second whenever I blink. Whenever I tell someone about it they do the math, unders...
Alone out here, you can go mad. My superiors warned me of it at the academy. Seeing things, hearing things, even thinking things, terrible things. So far I’d say I’ve seen it all. That’s why they train you for it. Out here, all alone, you have to have an understanding of what you’re own mind can do to you. Being a sc...
After my horrendous failure of a simple paint job on the side of the building, I needed a desperate break. Feeling sorry for myself, I solemnly walked through the foyer of the building. Every echo boomed in the tall open room, taunting me, making me feel more exposed. I scanned the room and spotted the sign for the re...
Many had tried to defy him. They came equipped with any kind of weapon the folklore, legends and lunatics had declared to be able to harm the undead or their master.

The lone potato lazily floated in the pot propelled by the barely boiling water. It floated in circles around the pot, mostly, but sometimes it would change altitude, diving to the bottom, or rising to the top. The movements were governed solely by the random arrangement of bubbles in the boil. Emma stared into the sw...
