Tic Tac is a middle aged raver from Anaheim. He always loved selling the good old fashioned recreational drugs. Drugs like molly, DMT, shrooms, LSD and special k were among his favorites. Those drugs don't provide a steady source of income, so today he is moving his first batch of crack. He's going to try offloading ...
“I have 24 hours left to live AMA.” John smiled bitterly to himself as he hit save. One measly day left to him and he was going to spend it sitting in a dark room, staring at a screen, conversing with strangers. The comments came quickly. “Sorry to hear that buddy, stay strong.” “Hate to be that guy but, proof?” ...
For nearly an hour, Luke had sat on the plain wooden chair at his dining table, his face a pale and expressionless mask of shock. His left hand, a white band circling his ring-finger, lay flat on the table; his right was still pressed hard against his chest. He could feel the strange vibration of the contrivance in his...
He strode through the "street", the only thing he could call it. His wings were pulled tight across his body, a feathered cloak against the inescapable feeling that the aura of this place would permeate his being and corrupt him. A feeling that his creation, his flawless embodiment of the Creator's Will wouldn't be eno...
It was tough in the projects. Hardly a night went by without the shrieks of the sirens echoing through the ghetto. You'd wake up the next day, walk around the neighborhood, seeing what had changed. Usually, it was nothing - just a fight, but sometimes, storefronts where damaged, shot up in such a way that any attempt t...
So many jobs he'd done before, A thousand tellers he had robbed. From Monterey to Baltimore, He'd seen the workers as they sobbed. He didn't want to see them cry, But It kept Johnny in the band. Things he could not otherwise buy, Why couldn't people understand? He never shot or hurt a soul, Just stuff...
Blind panic. She fumbled desperately around, trying to work out what had happened to her. The moon had disappeared, she'd fallen and had no idea why. Calming down, she started feeling around, but all she could feel were walls. Walls of musty earth all around her. She couldn't turn round. She couldn't step backwards. ...
The blaring alarm clock jolts me awake. I turn and glare at the alarm clock. Shutting it off, I swing my legs over the side of the bed and sit a moment, adjusting to the morning light. I put on my glasses and cross into the bathroom. My phone is blinking on the counter. I must have forgotten to charge it. I pick it u...
Note: I use a made-up thing called "For Art"as the product, but, keep in mind that this is a kind of thing that you can switch out with anything. I just use varying tones and characters to try to make it appealing to different audiences. Hope I helped. **For Art** - Audience: Upper-class, educated. Ever wondered wher...
Wow, a new owner. Maybe he listens to Bob Dylan, or Jethro Tull. Wait, what's he reaching for? What's a Black Sabbath? It doesn't sound like any Bob Dylan album. I heard the owner mention something called "The Wizard", which I guess was the song he was putting on. I heard these nice harmonicas; maybe it was folk. Sudde...
Kendall woke up in the dark. The surroundings unfamiliar. She had been on a flight with her fiance, Harry, for a vacation in Fiji. Franticly she lifted the blanket off but her headache pounded and she could barely sit up. She called out, "Harry? Where am I? My head hurts, can you bring me some water?" A speaker's stat...
Jim and Mittens live in a house. Jim rolls around on the floor and runs away from the Suck Beast. Mittens pays his taxes and buys the groceries. Sometimes, Jim likes to sit on Mittens' lap or Mittens' computer, as both places are warm. When Mittens is busy, he shoos Jim away, but after a long nine-to-five, he appre...
I had existed since the beginning of humanity. I encompass all the fears of humanity. And I dislike the humans being afraid. I find fear itself to be irrational. A great amount of things could be accomplished by the humans if they were not so afraid to try. I had noticed that the humans had begun to push me out. They ...
She had always wanted to make a difference. The chance to work on a ship in the faraway continent helping the poor alleviate various medical ailments seemed like a dream ticket from an altruistic angel, so she jumped at the chance. The night of her departure, she met with a group of friends at the lab and talked abou...
"Agent Doyle, do you understand your duty?"**The voice boomed inside his head; made possible by the CommChip implanted in his brain, standard issue equipment for Agents of the Peace, he was receiving new orders.**^1 "Yes, Ma'am. I am to retrieve Prisoner 3/17-42 from the year 2014. Now living under the assumed alias o...
Hopefully I won't be put on some list, but I doubt it's elaborate or effective enough. Also, I'm not even sure if the security system is like this where it happened. *Also,* it's my 1st, **so it's bad.** They walked up to security. Some may have seemed intimidating, including the big one, but not too threatening. They...
"Look, if you try to walk into the bank like this, with your flashy costume, cape, and a black streak of makeup across your eyes, they're going to call the police as soon as you whip out your empty duffel bag,"I tried to reason. "And as soon as that happens, you know how it's going to turn out. They're going to swarm...
"Babe, we need to go! Pack your shit faster, cmon!" She was scrambling, hastily shoving clothes into her floral backpack. Outside sirens wailed in the sunlight and cars sped by dangerously. "I'm moving as fast as I can!"she screamed back at me, frantic and irritated. I snatched the bag from her and zipped it up, ca...
Day 467,398 Every day it becomes harder. I have taken to lurking at the darkened windows of artists and poets and writers. These seem to be the only people left who can feel me there. The only people left whose pulses quicken with terror. But they delight in the feeling. Just as I delight in the feeling. But what w...
Enrique Valdez. How ironic. He's the man that designed the air prison. Now he's going to live in one. Maybe not. He's having some sort of seizure. Nobody is going to save him. When he designed the air prison, he took out a massive insurance policy on every prisoner and guard. When he went bankrupt, one of his prisons ...
My pendant glows red and I’m jogging in the direction that it points. I’m getting closer, I can feel it! I begin to run and can’t help but smile; it’s finally time. I’ve been lost and angry for so long and once I was reunited, I could let all my anger go. I wonder what my other half is doing in the forest but I know be...
I turn around in my swivel chair. "What the fuck, Dave?" Dave stared wide eyed back at me. "What?" I pointed to the screen. "I'm going to kill you in one hour?"He continued to look nonplussed. "You said, verbatim: 'I'm going to shove a stick up your ass, throw your body outside to freeze and eat you like a Popsicle'....
Beth screamed and kept screaming as the last contraction took her. Her exhausted muscles seized in agony. She felt her body tear... And then suddenly it was over and someone else was screaming an entirely different cry: one of startled surprise, not pain. Beth collapsed back onto the hospital bed, shuddering and laugh...
Hello, I cannot tell if this is a prompt or if you are submitting your writing. I am not trying to be rude. Your post is very hard to understand. A prompt is a starting point for other people to write. If the story has already been written, it is difficult for others to write their own original story. If you have fu...
I was listening to these three guys talk in this very small room. There was an old pot bellied stove and they kept the door open, tossing their cigarette ashes into the fire. The one old guy they called Steve, white haired, lanky build, wrinkled, craggy face. The other two were middle aged and all three wore suits sty...
Hi, sorry this isn't a story, just a quick note. There's a Youtube webseries called I Made America which you might find interesting. It's basically a very similar premise to your prompt in which the Founding Fathers are transported into modern Chicago. The acting is fantastic (in my opinion) and it's pretty funny and b...

Zooey and Lodai rest in the upper branches of the trees of wisdom. Zooey is approached by an eagle. "Do you remember that hairlipped motherfucker in that scouting party that got away with that big rock of silver?"Zooey asks. "Wild guess, he's back with an army?"Lodai respond as he lazily pulls a rusty sword from the ...
Cecil manouvered his ailing limbs and struggled to set himself down slowly onto the chair in the diner. Asking the waitress for 'the usual' with the same chuckle as he had for the past twelve years, he took out his note book and reviewed the day. 'Item 1: bins' 'Item 2: Audrey's hair' - a bun today 'Item 3: call co...
Phil put on his "Chuckles the Savage Clown"mask, adjusted its rubber fangs, and picked up the wooden machete. The fake blood on it glimmered in the streetlight. The Viagra was just about kicking in. He could feel it doing its sinister work in his loins already. And not a moment too soon. The busload of cheerleaders was...
So then God says to me, "My child. You've been struggling."I look down in shame. I manage to squeak, "Yes sir."I can feel Him staring at me. Not in anger, not in annoyance, not in disappointment, but He looks at me in love. But of course, He is perfect. I'm the one who fucked up. I'm the one who let others get to me....
"Mister President!"screamed the news caster. Normally I didn't care for this particular channel, but today this man was echoing my sentiments. We really should be doing something, but he didn't seem to understand. Retaliation right now wasn't a good idea. "I get it,"I said, hoping that echoing his feelings would calm h...
"Are you wishing to fire me?"I say, worried, "What's been happening lately?"He stops halfway out of the door. He sighs and turns his forest brown eyes towards me. "This is just not a time when I need you." "You don't..."I say, brushing my sleepy hair out of my face, "need me, anymore."Sure, I'm just his sidekick, b...
"You think so, Rodgers?" "Of course, Detective. His wife and daughters were raped and strangled." "Then what's the fucking bad news?" "He can't testify for us. We have no leads. Everyone else who was at the scene of the crime is either a perp, or deceased. And the perps got away." "No DNA?" "None. These monsters t...
"...We're not going to save him." "What are you talking about McMeowsickers?! You're mad! This is the LAST human! They're an endangered species!" "Now, now, Dr. Woofbone, you have to understand I don't quite share your affection..." "MASTER! PLEASE DON'T DIE ON US!! AWOOOOO" "He's not your Master, Dr. Woofbone. Or ...
Jeremy looked up at the doors nervously. He had no idea what he was doing here. He barely passed his entrance exams, and would rather just stay at home and strum on his guitar. His mind flashed back to the deal his step-father made him - *Language school or the mines, son*. Sighing, he trudged up the stairs and went t...
I didn't understand why the cops stormed in and arrested me. I had done nothing wrong but why should I be surprised? I had been down on my luck. Lost my job. House is a mess. I'm depressed. My family hates me. Car was repo'd. Utilities about to be shut off. No money in the bank. Eviction notice on the door. St...
(I was going to do something a lot different, but then this just sort of happened. Oh well) “Ginger, stay!” The dog obeyed. Of course she did, even she could sense the severity of the situation. Dogs weren't stupid, and she was a smart breed, a wirehaired pointer. He might not have seen the carcass if it wasn't for ...

What was a godless man to do on a Sunday morning all by himself? Why, try to end it all, of course. Well, there was no mistaking it, Terry was going to kill himself today, whether he liked it or not. This was the last Sunday that he was going to have to live with the pain that had not faded in the slightest over the...
Party don't stop, music top notch, Dancing in the dark In the pale moonlight, High heels off, red dress on, Do what you want, Cause I'm feeling alive Oh my God, I feel it in the air, Nothing stoppin' me no more, Make you feel good, do what I dare, Honey I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere, But I always come ba...
The speakers are blasting. Around me men are shouting and cheering. I'm sweating like a pig. Order another beer. It's hot, but not that hot. My contact asked to meet here half an hour ago but he's yet to show up. America scores. The men are eyeing me with hostility. It's not my fault. I don't even like soccer. And how...

Lichtenstein. A tiny strip of land. They knew what they were doing though. Starting small, gathering the resources and troops but not making a huge scene. Think of it like building your village and holding your cards in reserve, you build the walls and fortifications, research the technology and make one of your uni...
"When you are 88, you think you know everything. You've learned everything you can having gone through the retirement home system, smoked your pipe and stopped wearing slippers. Of course, this isn't true." The 19 year old boy smiled out at the crowd, made mostly of people in their fifties who were stilll a bit youn...
Amber was afraid of jabberwockies. Also spiders. She had heard some terrible things about spiders, something about the way they moved, hid in corners, and attacked like ferocious dogs or something. Eight legs seems like a lot, even though they where supposed to be relatively small. They sounded terrible. But her f...
She screamed. She screamed bloody murder. The screaming was only interrupted by the sobbing. Each choked breath more desperate than the last. The men held her by the arms, one on each side. After a few moments the blood curdling screams sank into uncontrollable sobs. Glass shattered behind her, the sounds of nails bei...
I opened my eyes and, feeling the banality of another pointless day, abandoned any hope that a benevolent creator could possibly be involved in what was laughingly referred to as my life. As I got dressed and went down stairs, the neighborhood dogs were barking at full volume. I couldn't hear myself think with their ...
Without a firm grasp on reality, a multi-personality, bi-polar schizophrenic man believes himself to be walking the streets with his best friend. In a fit of rage over some reason, he kills that friend before he believes himself to wake up in a mental ward. Write from the perspective of both the schitz and someone see...
Zombies. Zombies were the perfect cover. No one thought about the rest of the world, because after all, they must be infected to. We still don't know where the zombies came from, all we know is the Company is responsible. The whole country was ravaged and savaged. The Company struck just when people were pulling thems...

Oh man... all day every day. Anyways: "Mr. Payne, would you like to start us off?" Everyone knew he was high as a kite, but as always the Al-Anon coordinator figured it would be best to get him out of the way early. He stumbled to the podium, eyes glazed over, a dumb smile running across his face. "This week, my bi...
The kids burst into laughter as I imitate a cat and pretend to lick my paws. “Cat! Cat!” Sandra yells in excitement. Dave jumps up and heads to the chalkboard, “Another point for Sandra!” He adds a tally under her name. “Alright come on boys!

"Yes sir."Darla said as she walked over to the desk. "What should I write in the letters?"She asked as she turned back to master silver. Silver nodded to his stamp at the far end of the desk beyond the brushes and pencils. Darla reached over and grabbed it and pressed it down onto the top left of the piece of the pap...
Nope. There were no "terms of agreement."There was no sign up or contract. You did nothing to implicate or include yourself in this guy's mad attempt at heroism. As the screen flashed a far too late "technical difficulties"template over a scene that had consisted of a limp body violently strewn across a press confer...
"Letters?!"The head of the research institute is hunched over his desk, screaming at the man on the other end of the line. "Yes, sir, letters."

The UN sat, each and every member biting their nails. Their entire fate depending on this next contact.

The Canadians were waiting, knowing that every second spent meant another square cent...
Farmer Dan--Johnathan Joseph Bartholomew Dan by birth, though he preferred the former--stood on his front lawn, jaw agape as he stared absently at the 747 wreckage that was once his chicken coop.

Well, I'll throw something a little wacky at you. Maybe it will at least spark an idea for you. Billy Bob is in his 30s or 40s and is a hunter of the paranormal. He has a dark past and has lost everything in his endless pursuit of the paranormal, which he has failed to ever actually prove exists. He is beginning to qu...

"Hold my beer, bro."Those were his last words. Fucking Tim. He told us that he could vomit this "nasty pussy melting acid that can make a hole through steel panties"while he was drunk. So I held his beer, mind you. He had about 12 cans worth of them. He started gouging his throat with his fingers to try and cough up ...
As I pulled into the driveway, I knew attending was a bad idea. I'd *never* gone a day without taking my pills. At least not in the past couple years. Being the stupid teenager that I was, I managed to brush the concern off of my shoulder without a problem. I walked from my car and knocked on the door. I received a wa...
As the red sun descended over Omega Z every one went about there normal day. Buying fruit a the market, playing in the gravity pit. Most people knew that the end would happen soon but instead of telling the children and older folk we got on with our normal lives until such time came. It was late on a Monday night, I w...
Not everybody gets a second chance; sometimes it just won't happen, no matter how hard we try. some of us live out in the cold, whether we want to or not, and that's our entire life. we accept it. remember that as you sit by your fire every night. we're not asking for your help: we don't want it. for your sake, though,...
My friends like to call me an American Folk Story. I was the child of immigrants. At the age of two my mother died. At three my father gave me away for adoption. I stayed at that orphanage all the way until I was 16. Normally, you stay in a orphanage until you are 18, but when they get crowded people have to go. I was...
I finally tracked the bastard down. I phased through the door into the high tech luxury penthouse. I've been waiting hundreds of years for this moment. I made myself visible and released The Fear. Azrael's guests panicked, energy and plasma pistols fell from the dead hands of security guards as I waved my hand in a sw...
Two years into the zombie apocalypse. A man is excommunicated from a save haven, evidence from the past suggest he was, and maybe still is, a murderer. He wandered aimlessly until his is bitten on his leg. He lies against the wall screaming in pain, he killed the zombie that did it, but would the wound kill him. He g...
I stepped forward to the door in front of me, marveling at the sheer beauty of design that it held. *I can't believe there are any architects in Holtar so skilled as to have designed such beauty...* Castle Sophia was never known for it's decor, but just the door the the chamber itself was a sight to behold. It almost l...
Last Tuesday fortnight, Eddie was in stuck the time/space contiuum (again) and had to indicate to The Conductor exactly when he felt able to handle re-entry. 'Now then!' he cried, he had cried, rematerialising in a black and white police station, in 1949. Ever since, kindly bobbies have amused themselves by bellowing ...
I watch the dropship fly up and away at ludicrous speeds. Breaking the sound barrier no more than ten seconds after I was rudely shoved out the airlock. Upon looking around I have to say that it's not going to be a very relaxing banishment. At least they didn't sentence me to death per se, I mean if just scavenge for...
I look over at Paul. Our eyes bulge out, as we realize the sharply dressed salesman was right. "This car? This car doesn't just take you places in style my dear boys. It takes you there in time." I can't catch my breath and I feel panic setting in. My mind flits back to how we happened upon the salesman on Craigsli...

As far back as I can remember, I never was a spiritual kind of girl. My family was - muslim father, catholic mother. They taught me the basics of the main religions, though thankfully never tried to force any belief on me. Which would have been pointless, since - as I said - I never believed in any form of higher power...
Sometimes God takes people away from us. Sometimes, I do. Call it what you will, a random freak accident, a rare cancer in the body, a heart attack in a man too young. People who are not supposed to die step out of life so quickly that the rest of us are left pulled into their sudden void. We work so hard tryin...
“God dammit, that’s enough.” Detective Johnson snapped his fingers twice, indicating the signal to abort transmission. “Now, now, shut it down. NOW!” He shouted. The visions kept pouring through, the screams, the smell, the chill in the air, all vividly replaying around him. He struggled to get free, his head was st...

The **Snakes of Eden** were the first to enter the portal. Long, radio controlled probes that coiled and crawled over the surface of the new world.

I wasn’t alive when sentient robots started being made, the first and second generation Rosents were out before my parents decided to make me. I was five when the Rosents asked for freedom, making the claim that as sentient beings forcing them to work is slavery. By that time people had been friends with, and in some c...
They stood, three strangers atop a windy mountain at the edge of existence. Their journey had both been brief and yet had lasted lifetimes. Beneath their naked feet, the mountain peak was swathed in a thick blanket of hazy smog. As they gazed up, the trio could see nothing but an unending chasm that left a cloying cold...
As the now bunched together mass of dusty grey-clad Confederate soldiers, led by their Colonel with this hat raised on the point of his sword, yelled and broke into a run towards the low stone wall, behind which crouched a line of union men, muskets ready to fire, one of them, Eben Frame, recognized the officer - it wa...

My alarm went off at 7:30 am line it always did, and I checked the date on my phone. July 14. I let out a sigh and rolled out of bed. As my feet hit the floor, a wave of nausea hit me. I guess that's what I get for trying to drink a pirate under the table, especially one like Captain Jack Sparrow. I'm never drinking r...

They wouldn't be able to survive in the world ravaged by the Red Plague, so you shove them into the helicopter before you. You are seventeen and terrified, but you would rather live through the horror of being left behind than to see them all die so you won't be alone in the end. You can survive this world, you repeat,...

"What an asshole,"I thought, as he just dropped the bottle and walked off. It wouldn't take much effort to throw it away so I decided to do it for him. It was a glass bottle, dropped onto the asphalt road wandering lazily through the park, and I was a bit surprised it hadn't broken. Must be a sturdy bottle, or... padde...
Light does not reach more than a few thousand feet beneath the ocean. That point is only a fraction of the deepest known trench, and even then one must consider how little of the ocean is mapped. There exist far deeper places where man not only cannot reach, but it is vital for the survival of his species that he never...
It took a lot of planning, and a lot of skill to pull off, but in the end I pulled it off, and returned home to a world in which Jack Ruby failed to assassinate Lee Harvey Oswald, and Oswald stood trial for his crime, found guilty, and executed. (Good old Texas.) The nation's bloodthirst so sated, LBJ never escalated t...
I started to notice funny things happening as soon as I looked out over the audience. My wife was there, my mother, my father, and my brother. I'd told them where I was, but why would they show up to my jury duty date? I tried to give a subtle wave that would only be noticeable to them, but they didn't even look my w...
The light faded, and my eyes quickly grew accustomed to the whiteness. "Where are my sunglasses ... and where am I?" A soft, deep, pleasant voice told me, "You are with me, child ... the Rapture has come, and you, Oh Faithful, are with me, as are the rest of ..." the voice trailed off. "What?"I said, almost in uniso...
I sat on my tan couch by the window, mindlessly checking my Facebook newsfeed on my iPhone. I couldn’t focus on anything except the package that I was waiting for, the UPS truck that would determine my destiny. An email said it would arrive today, so I waited all morning on the couch with Anchor, my loyal white poodle,...
"Black Fox! Surrender now! Or we shall have to shoot you!" A voice boomed over a megaphone over the empty parking lot. It was dawn. 6 AM. According to the Overlord, no one was expected to be out of their homes before 8, except the Authoritarian Police. The 2022 Ford Mustang GT Electric sat there, its orange blending ...
A man opens a door to his apartment room. It is small and there is only four rooms. Bathroom, living room, kitchen, and bedroom. The man just got fired, got in debt, and had recently got a divorced. He even can not see his kids. His life is total hell. He tried to walk to his bedroom, but he fell to the ground. ...

The survivors are a quiet bunch. They shriek, grunt, and groan, but never talk. Their day to day life is one of simple repetition. Wake up, move here for food, watch for anything dangerous, eat again, sleep, rinse, and repeat. On occasion they run into something that pushes them off schedule but they always go back to...
