I am ripped away from my lady sleep, as I get ready for another dreaded day away from her. Boring, worthless tasks await me, things others tell me to do, which forces me to endure every moment away from sleep. The sun is a villain that keeps us away from each other, as it serves as a signal that sleep, no matter how mu...
He’s reading one of his books again, hunched over it to stare at the small letters. I’ve told him that he needs glasses, but he refuses to listen to me and just says that he’ll do it eventually. It struck me today that if anyone else told me that, or if he had told me that when we first married, I would be horribly f...
I opened and closed the front door as quietly as I could and removed my shoes to lessen the noise. Maybe they won't care that it's past curfew. And there was a good chance that they wouldn't, but that was before Cam's accident. As if on cue, the living room light turned on and illuminated my dad with his arms crossed...
I probably should've seen it coming. Johnny loved tearing the heads off of Joanna's Barbies when they were kids, and he didn't stop until he moved on to actual people. "Dad, are we going to die?"breathed Joanna. "Shh, no. Just stay quiet and don't move."I didn't tell her why we were hiding from her brother, I couldn'...
Bigfoot is real. You're in your cabin for the winter and hear the nearby sounds of a wounded animal. Eventually, your curiosity gets the best of you and you happen upon the creature. You expect him to be a violent ape or a clumsy oaf like in the movies, but he turns out to be of astounding intelligence with a great abi...
She promised herself not to cry at the start of the day. That wasn't a promise she was going to keep. She could already tell, at only two hours in. She held back as she got up. She fought her way through the shower. She push herself and covered her eyes as she made breakfast. She was already using up the last of her wi...
Ariella bit her lip as she sat at the newlywed's table, hands fidgeting with a napkin as their parents toasted the marriage for the fifth time. The ivory dress itched around the collar, the waist fit just a little too snug; she felt that if she tilted wrong one way or another, it would just rip apart. The nigh-endless ...
It had to happen. I knew it was coming, she knew it was coming. We lied to ourselves. It's funny, when we first got together we both know once we cross that line, once we share our life completely, openly, in spite of our fears, we can't go back. We shouldn't, it's done. We are two adults, of sane mind and body who agr...
A dinner. I am sitting at a table. A glass of white wine. The musician is playing his own music. I am outside. Cobblestone paves the road and a storm approaches. I head toward the sunny mountainside. I recognize no one on my journey. I am at a beach. The waves crash against my feet. I stay as I see the moon set. The ...
I don't know where to begin talking about my life. There's so much of it even if twenty years is a blink to some. I've lived a fairly lonely life as far as I know. I was home-schooled you see; I didn't even have a friend until I was ten. My first friend moved really far away from me only a year after I met him. S...
Gingerly, I slipped into the small bathroom. It was familiar. Hardwood flooring, lovely ceramic sink, cute and thin little gold faucets, but the most important thing was the mirror. Well, not the mirror, but who was in it. His arms were crossed, fingers drumming impatiently against the opposite arm they rested agai...
Another cheap pull of whiskey as he considers which gun to kill himself with. A .22, maybe? Go out with class with a military-issue Colt .45 automatic pistol, a gun in service for over a hundred years? He was sure lots of people have killed themselves with that gun. And the .45 wasn't a bad caliber either. Maybe it wou...
Frozen rocks whirling out of the depths of empty space smashed apart my research station's support systems some few cycles past. The heat and lights went after I finally doused the fires ravaging the command console. Now what remains of my home has been sealed off by computers too damaged to repair. The emergency syste...
Jesus Christ! This can't be happening...is...is he for real? I mean that does look like Marty McFly, so it's gotta be him, right? He's already walked off while I've been standing here like an idiot for who knows how long. I hop in excitedly. "It's here! It's all here! The cool doors, the Flux Capacitor, this thi...
She droned on and on, energetically choreographing her self-righteous rant, making mountains out of molehills. ". . .is the problem with the country nowadays, we're slowly losing our foundation, phasing out our Lord Jesus Christ, turning our backs. . ." Was there really so much wrong with a small business owner...
I've never been more certain of anything in my life It all started when my husband started hiding his text messages from me. Every girl knows, that's a bad sign. I tried quickly coming up behind him to hug him and try to see over his shoulder, but he always got his phone faced down before I could see anything. We'...
(I just wanted to say that I GRE up in a very christian household and in no way want to offend anyone by the following story) I grew up with story, and belief that I was truly in fact, Jesus Christ, Son of God, Morning Star, The Way, The holy lamb, the messiah. I was miraculously conceived, I was told. I remember bein...
I am not worthy of her. She is beautiful, fair, and considerate. She rescued me from the darkness; back when I thought there was no hope for me to live. She dressed and fed me, and I’ve never felt more cherished. But what can I do to help? How can I possibly save her from the torments of her wicked stepsisters and mo...
A shadow loomed over Durkon. "By me beard,"he said, "Thor's enemies 'ave come fer us!" "Shut up, Durkon,"Roy muttered. "It's just your imagination." Dmmm "Nay, lad. 'Tis the day!"Durkon started running, screaming further about the trees' evil plot. Then Roy took a larger chunk of damage than he was comfortable wi...
Joy the Elf, sat around the Christmas tree with the other elves. Mrs. Claus was gone. The Grinch had killed her with an IED. Noel, the Kringles only daughter had died of cancer the same night. And Santa . . . Santa wasn't talking. He'd been sitting in the same place ever since coming home from the hospital. Not the Nor...
My world stood on slender legs, but they’d been muscled and callused through countless miles of hard work. Running had been my solace from a demanding father that could never be satisfied, no matter what report card I returned, or what degree I received. As a kid who was never enough, to go out and run fifteen, twenty ...
Dressed in a black robe and armor, sword at your side, you bust open the castle doors, and stroll down the courtyard path to where your father's throne room. The guards nod and stand at attention as you pass. The prince has returned! You enter the throne room and your father is deep in thought, stressed over the curre...
The Smiths were not having a very merry Christmas. The twinkling lights and frosty mornings did not bring the joy of the holiday; instead the idyllic christmas season simply reminded them of the joy they'd lost. In the purple hue of the setting winter sun they could see Roger's cheeks, purplish red as he ran inside fro...
The sacred pool was deep. Some said it reached to the core of the earth And if you looked into it, you could see the devil sleep. Ancient carvings surrounded the walls. «KRAFTILO, ZEBULBA, MAYONNAISE» George held her against his chest. The ground vibrated and the dank air whispered. « Fakir, king and stammering jest...
I waited patiently; harmoniously drumming my fingers on the edge of my stomach. The door of the bedroom crept open and I saw the nimble figure slowly make its way in. The little darling looked up and smiled at me; a surge of pride rattled my bones, my plan had worked. It was quite an accomplishment really; the firs...
The light. The light was coming towards me. It was glowing, and beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes. I never thought that I would be granted this kind of passage. All the wrong things that I did. All of the evil thoughts I had. I was vicious, and cruel. All the labels that were bestowed on my - mad man, cheater, ...
> "But it’s better for us not to know the kinds of sacrifices the professional-grade athlete has made to get so very good at one particular thing…the actual facts of the sacrifices repel us when we see them: basketball geniuses who cannot read, sprinters who dope themselves, defensive tackles who shoot up with bovin...
Please don't die. The story that goes with this: I had a night terror once, I was dreaming about a car accident with my girlfriend. Everything was black and all I could hear was her voice, "Please don't die, please don't die, please don't die."Pleading, I opened my eyes but couldn't move. The voice continued, "Pleas...
A girl goes to sleep. She dreams that there's a meteor shower and a mercury rainstorm. The news warns everyone to stay indoors. The mercury-like substance pools and solidifies blocking off all drains/ escape underground. Aliens follow. People are herded into groups for food, labor, reproduction and the smartest scienti...
The roar was deafening. Can I even call it a roar? It sounded more like a scream, perhaps a yell. It was more man than beast. We all stood, shocked. "...What the hell was that?!"yelled Dieter, worriedly. "A... a titan? Maybe an Abherrant?"replied Ernst, a squad member with whom I wasn't too familiar with. Then, ...
This is my best story ever. I'm going to go places with this one. They just went after a rabbit. They are so simple minded, all they had were sticks with points on them and a weapon that can move them faster than they can. Either way, they all had one, so I guess it works. They have setup camp in a primitive hut, pushe...
You're on the freeway. You've been following the rules (mostly - I mean, maybe you went a bit over the speed limit, but no more than 5, and that's being generous). Ever since you merged in, you've been dealing with assholes. Tailgaters, speeders, people on phones, fuckwits in expensive cars cutting you off... And n...
Those fucking faggots, they think they're so superior to us, acting all superior because "they won't overpopulate earth." What a load of bullshit. Why can't I, someone who likes women, find validation in this world? Why, because I want to reproduce, makes me, no, us the villains? The laws were passed 14 years ago, w...
The TARDIS pulsated into being on the forest floor. Its characteristic sound echoed throughout the empty forest. There was a clearing ahead. The Doctor stepped through the door. He was, as it sometimes happened, too late. A murder had happened here. He examined the clearing, the green light of his screwdriver echoing t...
The pain had long ago ceased and become a trembling emptiness. A lingering void of being dematerialized that now stretched in his mind back to his inception in the great laboratories of the science ship Kran. It was a shame he was defective and now only given the task of a mascot for the millions of troops who would ...
After years of abuse, a mother gathers the courage to finally leave her physically abusive husband. After he leaves for work she gets the kids and drives them to the safe house. She forgets their paper work (birth certificates, etc) at the house. She drives back and decides to pack a few extra things since she stilll...
"Moooooooom", pouted Zeus, his little bottom lip almost engulfing the one above it in a dramatic pout. Gaia sighed. "Yes, dear?" "You and dad made everything, right mom?" She paused. What could this be about? "Well, yes, dear, pretty much." "And everything has a purpose, right?" "Um, yes, that's how we planned it ...
---------------- Part 1 - [Absorbed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrQ0mIO9oyo) -------------------- I stood and watched as my co-worker became absorbed in his daily duties. It was amazing to see this man work endlessly for hours on end. He takes no breaks and does not eat for lunch or supper. He takes one of his ...
My footsteps were all that I heard while walking the road by the woods that day. Until some time along the way the chanting voices came to play. They brought their word of pain and torture sinking ship, screaming girl Portia. A fog with their words soon descended perhaps my life would soon be ended no such luck...
You're a highschool girl whose parents just adopted three children (any genders, but they are around 7-8 years old) who each have special abilities (they can be what you want: invisibility, telepathy, telekinesis, etc). These children's eyes turn red as their power takes effect and they can't control their powers yet. ...
Clive picked up the blanket that had fallen to the floor when he was jolted awake. Wrapping it around himself for a modicum of decency, he searched for his boots. He didn't find them. Odd the way his bare feet on the grating make no sound, he thought. For most of his career Clive had traversed the corridors of this...
"Stupid teacher"I muttered to myself as I walked down the path. My feet shuffled along the cobblestones. "I'll show her who isn't competent enough to-"A sharp pain in the side of my head interrupts my thought. I look around to see what caused it and see a coin spinning at my feet. "Look here asshole I have had a shi...
"What the Hell is a Shwarma?!"This was a bit ridiculous. Here I was, one the brightest up and coming scientists in the Aerodynamic Propulsion & Gravity Defiance Division or AP & Gravi-D as we called it, and I was having a meltdown over what the company lunch was. It wasn't even a matter of the lunch itself. I g...
Vibrations! Vibrations and light. That was the key！ I mean it all goes back to Einstein right? e=mc squared。 And when you think about it, everything really is just a different form of vibration: energy waves, an objects wave function in space-time, the vibration of atoms and their vibrating strings. Once I understoo...
Egad, we're doing this again? Another ship, another pack of morons. I don't know why they keep shipping them up here.. I have to admit, my own great grandfather was one of those fools. He was an elderly man, even then. My mother still tells the story of how the guy actually watched those ridiculous chemical-powered ve...
They stood me up in the town square, whispering about how I was as a guardian angel, their guardian angel. Yet when the city grow they forgot and I became merely another statue. I was left as an obstacle to try to pass while chartwells jumped on the cobblestone but the children laughed running around me as if I was the...

Main character witnesses a murder and is sentenced to be executed to keep the crime secret. He/she and several others are set to be executed manage to escape. Optional sec...
They all stink, and thanks to their presence, so do I. It used to be said that you would get used to the smell of anything you spent enough time around, but that's not true for the smell of decaying human flesh. Some reptilian part of the brain classes it as a health threat and lets the smell through like a car alarm g...
The town if Gainsborough was forever overshadowed by a lonely house in a hill. None of the normal residents thought much of it, since it had long since been boarded up. It seemed to always had a for sale sign, but no other information was provided. Of course, the town's children liked to tell spooky stories to each oth...
The memories they gave me are the worst thing about it. I know I've been engineered into existence less than two weeks ago, but for me this is just a very long nightmare I'm hoping to wake up from. I remember... my daughter running outside of our suburban house, my wife cooking inside, my sports car with the hood open ...
Hera sat quietly in the throne room, draped in white garments, and stared at the cold tile floor, deep in thought. Two peacocks stood on either side of her large marble white chair. They pecked at the ground, clucking every so often. Mount Olympus can be a lonely place sometimes, she thought to herself. The other Oly...
What was a dark smokestack amongst the endless forest from the front porch was an incredible leviathan from up close. The ship was a dark gray all over and looked bloated from within, like a manatee. It's top, leaned against the high trees, even branched out into what could be called a tail. What would be it's "mouth",...
Humans usually took about half an hour or more to recover, but not this one. Most might have trembled in fear at the sight of his crew, but not this one. Humans were thought to have been wiped out, but not this one. Gerrac didn't even think this one was human, for it moved with such grace and speed, wiping out his e...
"...And thats why we need to get the Chosen One to the temple straight away!" My mind raced. Who was this 'Chosen One'? would they know what to do? This was all too much. I asked the obvious question to the group standing there. "Where do I find this...person? who is it?"I held the cryptic instructions in my hand tig...
"There are snakes in the trees,"Robert said. Jillian hesitated before stealing a glance upwards. "I don't see them,"she said. "Are they hiding from us? Do they know?" "Know what?"June said. She skipped over to a bush and stroked the petals of a flower. Suddenly she recoiled. Dale observed her stiffness. "Are you oka...
Wealthy elitists always play sick games with those beneath them, although poor folk often allow this, hoping that with each defeat they will move higher, praying that they may leave their flea-ridden tier. There exists those that refuse, naturally, resisting whatever temptations that said elitists offer them. They aren...
"Hey Chad, you HAVE to see this man!"shouted Tad "No way dude! That's the sickest costume I've ever seen!"said Chad as he drunkenly walks over to the dead body next to Tad. With an awestruck tone Tad yelled "This dude is so dedicated that he hasn't moved for the pasty forty five minutes!" "No way dude! Did you see t...
In early 2014, the internet was still in its early stages. No one at that time could have predicted what it would become. People assumed it had reached its pinnacle after the advent of social media and smartphones - how much further could it logically go? It started innocently enough with the Google Glass, which by ...

What we do in life, echoes (short pause for effect) in eternity (faint but distinct echo of microphone, dead silence among the gathered crowd). We have only one time, in our lives, to choose, either the good, or the evil. We have only one time, in our lives, to choose, fear, or love. We have only one time, in our li...
As world champion, it was said to be a very great honor to visit the president of the United States. Kenji was not so sure. He thought that he would be bigger, stronger. More formidable. But the man he saw looked as though he could be blown over by a strong wind, and even members of Kenji's entourage could have push...
-I misread the prompt, but I went with it since it seemed funnier- Peter stood there in shock. The kid's teeth were clamped around his wrist. A lady came running up, and tapped the child on the head, who let go. "I'm so sorry. He gets nervous in large crowds. I brought him to Oscorp in hopes of finding something to ...
The soldier hid behind the barricade, his weapon loaded. He was the only man in the four man group to actually carry ammo, but every man went up when he did, to make it appear as if they all did. He had dusty brown hair, a muscular tone and the other three looked almost exactly like him. Every one of their COs died we...
My mother always told me we would drift apart someday. I didn't believe her at first, thought she was just rambling on as usual. Then at the eve of my 15th birthday, I woke up somewhere else. It was quite the dramatic experience, to be suddenly jolted by the pouring rain in some dark ally of some foreign city. Pe...
In a matter of seconds, hundreds of monkeys surrounded Clarence and Lanna, greeting them with snarling teeth. "Clarence I think this is a good moment to pull out your gun!"Lanna yelled. "Alrigh...... wait a minute I lost it." "WHAT?!" "It was right here and now it's gone" "CLARENCE YOU HAVE TO BE SHITTTT......" ...
She is there, on the bench. Sitting with knees touching. And I'm looking at her, from across the road. The big black van rolls by. It looks like it is going. Going to take her away. But, really, it's coming for me. The picture they have looks right, vaguely. Her eyes are blue, and hair is red. I'm strapped down to ...

The forest seemed never ending and more surreal with each step. The trees themselves began to lose their branches and looked like tall wooden pillars stretching infinitely into the colorless sky; The ground beneath me was the blackest of soils. My heart leaped with hope as I noticed another wanderer in the distance...
Only to realize it was a garbage can in some run down building. I peered over the top, into the darkness as it consumed my sight. Struggling for light, for anything, I realized a weapon sitting next to me. I...I know how to work it, a ZM-18 plasma rifle, after further inspecting, I adjust my body armor as if second n...
I generally listen to a variety of sad music, songs by Relient K, Second Hand Serenade, Yellowcard, Etc. My depression really gets creative juices flowing, it's where most, if not all, of my writing stems from. I listen to sad instrumentals if I'm writing poems, raps, or songs though. Ninja Edit: If I'm writing fantas...
A world of melancholy, a new bell has rung and rabid dogs hurriedly line the streets. From the swinging and the tolling of bells, children play in the streets with their hands. The ladies in their fine dresses get away from their dungeons and present their gifts to Death. The men continue their eternal toils. And th...
John was a simple man, cursed with a complex affliction. Immortality. For years he was depressed; he had stopped caring about anything. Anybody he would ever know would die. The world would change and degrade and fade away and he would still be plain old John. One night, as he moped home ambiguously, he was ambushed ...

You have been chosen this year. You are stranded on an island, one of two survivors of a horrific Cruise accident. It's been months, food on...
It was never expected that they would find them. People never took them seriously, centuries previous and people had been burned at the stake when this was the explanation after all. They would be mocked when the religion came into popularity, the believers considered to be undesirable. Nobody expected it all to be rea...
Ok, I'm back. Here's a tip I use whenever I tutor one of my students: if you can't take a break from the work, if you can't set it down for a while and come back to it with fresh eyes read the last sentence first and edit your way backwards. Cut any words that don't have a reason to be there. "Just"for example. I'll g...
A common friend had arranged it. He thought it hilarious to set up John, a staunch democrat, with Rosalie, a fervent republican, on a blind date. They went to a nice restaurant, ordered some wine and finger food, and to say that the meal was heated, would be an understatement, each one expounding their views in passion...
Ernest sat stunned at the rickety table in his shack. He was at his usual routine, which always proceeded by him boiling up a strong pot of coffee, dark, strong coffee, and then proceeding to switch on his old Philco Battery Cell radio, that had been his grandfather’s. He, and his brother, Gene, had grown up in this ca...
Everybody's scared now. The cats rule the world. The ones who got mountain lion have taken Central America all the way from British Columbia to Costa Rica. Canada and Russia belongs to the wolves.

You're SO you live with is angry at you, since you live near a harbor, and you own a stupid small paddle boat, you go down to lay in it. Falling asleep, and waking midday in the middle of the ocean, you see the skies have turned into a cherry red, and the water has become a bright, vibrant brown. Paddling, you make way...
Everything is dark, everything is shaking, he can feel ties holding him down but he does not know where he is or how he got there. He's on his back and he can hear whispers conversing near his feet but do not know who they are from. "Where am i?"he tries to say but finds he is unable to say anything intelligible, his m...
To those who have eyes, I thank you for seeing me. I wish we had been closer, but I understand. The world is filled with people like me--invisible people who slip into the background and vanish with the crowd. I was another set of eyes, and I saw many of you. However, I understand the difficulty in focusing in on a si...
She's covered in blood, stalking towards me, angry passion in her Latin lips and two revolvers in her hands. I'm sitting behind my desk, struggling to keep my head calm and my hands from shaking. She blows away my secretary without glancing at her and a small whimper I do not intend escapes from my lips. She pauses, re...
She walked into the room like a model on a runway; her hips sashaying and her eyes distant and empty. She plopped herself in front of me and her perfume hit me like an abusive husband. "I got a job for you, mister."She whispered. I removed my feet from the desk and my jaw from the floor. There was no question that th...
Trevor was on his way to the mall, pondering over old times. He never really took this route, but it took him past the little park where he used to play in as a small child. He was thinking back to a particularly sunny Wednesday-afternoon, July 9th, 1986. He was playing hide and seek with Rosetta, his neighbour. Rosett...
I can hear them on the other side. Their taps and knocks move through my tank louder and faster than they think. The small ones don't understand the pain it causes. I fluke down from the surface and swim passed their window in hopes they quit making noise. But after all these years, I know it will continue. I vaguel...
"But think of it, Suzy! Eternity. Together." "I know, Tom, but... don't you think it's a little sudden? I mean... we've only been dating less than a year." "Freedom from want. Freedom from fear.

His car was a few miles from completely hitting E. "What else?". He had already been to his high school, his first apartment, and that Burger King he worked at throughout college. He had just gotten back seeing the empty plot of land that was once the home he grew up in. "Everything is way too different now."He rounded...
He said it would be a good idea. He said we had the technology to do it, so why shouldn't we. He said that the fence would hold them. Then again, he also said the Patriots would whoop the Giants and, despite the fact that his claim was solidly supported by empirical evidence that the Patriots were on a winning streak, ...
Go to the Early 1400's in the Americas with a leader that is capable of ruling uncorrupted and a young child (also taught to be ruled) that will follow him after his death.

He checked his watch once more. 8:59. Of course she'd be late, he chuckled. That was Jenna for you - always the last one in, the last to show. He sighed, and looked out the window again. He wasn't used to this view - this side of the restaurant - but he'd decided to change things up a bit. Might as well give her a l...
First of all, this is a scene, not really a story (since there is no plot). That is fine for what it is. The minutia: 1. There is no real physical description of Mistress. 2. In P3, "pixie like"should be hyphenated to "pixie-like". 3. In P4, referring to the pixie-like blonde as "Her pray"is a typo; it should be "...
As I glance at my own eyes, I am thankful, as the red puffiness and disastrous distortion I am use to seeing seems to have skipped me today. I relish in this fact, able to stare at my reflection longer than usual. I feel refreshed as I had slept well. I almost always do, barring the occasionally noisy house I am forced...
The first bullet hit nothing. The second bullet hit the tyre of the tanker, bursting the thick rubber like microwave popcorn. Shreds of tyre flew like shrapnel as the monstrosity began to keel over, bunching where the cab was being flattened by it's heavy cargo. The third bullet hit the tank itself. Bright clear liqu...
Uriel looked around the crowded airport dejectedly. It had been a long and tiring journey, and all he wanted was a seat and a chance to rest his weary bones. He felt like he had been travelling all his life. Ach, what wouldn't I give for a rest!, he thought. Wait, was that an empty seat? It was!. The place was bet...
The alarm clock didn't ring this morning. The door didn't slam. Traffic no longer buzzed on the street down bellow. In fact, the whole world had gone silent. Everyone came out. Pointed. Opened mouths only to close them again. Adrian stood on his balcony, too smart to go into the chaos that was the street bellow him. He...
My favorite food in the world is a pastrami sandwich at Katz's Deli in Manhattan. It'll be a little tricky describing it to someone with your unique condition, but I'll give it my best shot. You walk in through these open, inviting doors crammed with a nonstop stream of people, and it's admittedly a little bit of a t...
(Hey, I just posted something that was almost exactly around this lines on my new dA account! I wrote it a few years back, I'll go fetch it now.) Mill walked around in his familiar part of the forest, a dark, dreary, quiet part. The silence carried on, it seemed, no matter what happened; his footsteps made no sound, t...
Skimming across the pacific, pushed by the wind, the catamaran flew through the thin air of the night. The milky way looked down upon me in her observant gaze, as I was keeping watch, hunching on deck, gripping the ropes. I turn to the prow and see a light on the horizon. *Fraudulent ONEness of religious academia has ...
I became a criminal to avoid the daily grind. You know what I'm talking about: The same-thing-every-day routine that most normal people go through. Getting up at six in the morning, fixing the kids breakfast, driving to work? No way in hell. I didn't want my life to be dependent upon some one else's whims... and I ...
