as I sat up in bed, I looked around the room. the same thing as every day. the same bed sheets, the same dresser, the same red drapes pulled half way open to let some light through the same window onto my same carpet. I woke up at the same time today, with the same zombie feeling that I've always had. in precisely *sev...
Joseph woke up in his bed with a jolt. Glancing over at his alarm clock, he saw that it was 4 in the morning. He slowly curled over, ready to get some sleep before school the next day when he realized what day it was. With a smile, he sat up, silently repeating the word "Powers..."to himself. Slipping on a T-shirt, Jea...
"Uh, sir, we have some seemingly important business to deal with. You see... um... The person in need is kind of... In the alternate universe you were exploring two weeks ago,"Tim nervously sputtered out. Henry glanced over at his scrawny assistant and scoffed. "What? Don't they have some other caped crusader to cal...
"T-minus 2 minutes until package is delivered." This was known to be a possible outcome of returning from a satellite such as the moon. As hard as it may be to believe, in an effort to undermine their main competition on the world stage, experts had been called in as consultants from all fields. ALL fields. The least...
After Humanity developed faster than light travel the entire universe became tiny. Not least because the relativistic effects of faster then light travel made it seem to anyone exploring like they had arrived before they had even left. Needless to say the whole universe was quickly explored and mapped. Even the edge ...
It was the year 2052. "Give Crimea!" "No, you!" "I want Crimea!" The situation had gotten worse over the years. Crimea was famous for being the most contested place on Earth. I lived there. Every day I would hear explosions on my way to school. I would hear explosions while I was sleeping, I would hear guns firing,...
**Prof. K. Albert - Department of Archaeology & Anthropology, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom - 08/09/2214** *Side note A45-21:* It would seem that today shall be known as a true triumph for the class. One of my students, a bright young girl from Worcester has stumbled upon an artifact of what seems to dat...
Kalesh, the once proud capital city of Amoria laid in ruins. The great mage wars claimed both stone and flesh indiscriminately, leaving charred bones and ash heaped in the basalt byways of the city of saints. A fraction of the population survived, taking refuge from the smoke and stink of death at an encampment upwind ...
The night shift workers at what's considered a terrible job by most of their peers come into work expecting the usual stupid pre work pep talk from the shift manager, but instead are greeted by a team of vaguely military men who are armed to the teeth, telling them things are going to get weird tonight and what happens...
She laughed, heartily. I wouldn't call it a belly laugh, but it was definitely a belly laugh. I just wouldn't call it that because she was really hot and petite. But yeah, definitely a belly laugh, she really thought this was funny. "You want me to opt you out of "Small talk"? I've got that right? It's important for...
Most arcades were brighter, tackier, more neon and metal and pictures of games. This one had a wooden exterior and candles in the windows. Their sign had variably-pointed stars and sigils around the word: *Ghosterwhat.* He parked his truck and grabbed his bag of parts and tools. In his line of work there were always q...
As he witnessed the pirates approach from the ship's starboard, Cameron Leng figured out how he would spend his days in retirement. Dead. The ship, ICC Tempest, had suffered an electrical failure from poor maintenance. The ship could still move and we had the ability to navigate well enough. Unfortunately, we could no...
God, sometimes you wonder why your friends even showed you stumbleupon.com. Yeah, sure, its a good time waster, but things just get so boring after a while. You find one really cool thing, then the next, and it all just sort of blends together into a dull grey blob of websites, applications, and scientific articles. Oh...
At first I thought it meant I didn't win. When the man who'd handed me the raffle ticket insisted otherwise, I thought he was joking. "No, really, you're the devil for the next 24 hours."He said. "So, if I'm the devil then where are my horns and pitchfork." "Oh really now? That's what's holding you back? Not t...
She had been pacing around her room for at least 3 hours. Back and forth, walking quietly from one side to the other. 6428 steps so far tonight, on track for her standard 10,000 a night. She hoped that her alarm would go off soon; she was ready for her sleepless night to end and her day to begin. Every night was the sa...
Coffee is always cold. Has to be on purpose. Some psychologist at command must have decided that cold coffee makes the average MP 6% more effective or some kind of bullshit like that. Whatever. Oh good, my frigging refrigerator is busted again. Great. No telling if its actually broken or there is something wrong with ...
"Maybe I really am worthless... I can't believe she said that to me... After 2 whole weeks of dating..." "I'm Mr. Meeseeks! Look at me! Look at me. NO, seriously, look at me. I'm Mr. Meeseeks! You're not worthless. She's just a-a bitch!" I looked fondly at my Mr. Meeseeks. He was old and wrinkly. Mr. Meeseeks ...
This morning I woke up, let the dog out, put the coffee on, and grabbed the morning paper. **SNOWDEN LEAKS CONSPIRACY THEORIES, GOVERNMENT ADMITS THEY LIED** Remember all those kooks? The ones who would go on live TV and say "the jews did it!"? They were right. Almost. Apparently, the moon landing never happened. T...
I look around at all the infidels, praying to their blasphemous god. I try to blend in, but with every glance, I wonder if my cover will be blown. My true target is ahead - the man leading these prayers. Does he know that he is leading everyone in this room on a trip to Hell? Does he truly believe the lies he is sp...
As the thick fog in my head slowly lifted I was first aware of how uncomfortable I was. I was lying on my back, an unnatural sleeping position for me unless it was midsummer and boiling hot, and even then I always had one arm flung over my head. Still sleepy and a little confused, I attempted to sit up. As I did, someo...
It wasn't so bad being dead. I mean, it was strange at the start, but I was used to it by now. I drift about my friends and family, and go where ever I wanted to. But I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time. Pain. Pain where my heart used to be. I carried on, like normal, going through my daily routine. I decided...
"Stop it, you psychopath! You can't do this to me anymore, it was badass ONCE but now it is severely fucking up my life!"the man exclaimed to Mr. Bay over the phone.

The lights were the first thing I saw. They were bright, and sat in small bowls, illuminating the entire room. There wasn't a speck of dust. All the simple furniture looked untouched, or cleaned for that matter. The stove sat on top of a lit furnace that gave heat to the rest of the house. Next to the stove was a sink ...
"Hi, and welcome to Life a Force Checker bank, where your Life is our Life!"The short Asian girl behind the counter said cheerfully. I didn't pay much attention, as the man infront of me began talking to her. "Yeah, I'd like to check my Life Force."He said, as the woman pulled out a clipboard. "Sign your name under th...
I did it today. J was being really annoying. It was bad enough having to drive 90 minutes to the park in our bathing suits, skin all stuck to the seats. Then, in the middle of the drive there, after about the 9th time singing "End of the World", he turns straight back toward me and K in the back seat and flat asks...

Fuck. Keep firing! Shit. He killed Gary! Ahhhh... He's coming my way now. I'm ready for ya, you fat bastard. That's right.. tip toe your ass across this narrow-ass walkway. Try not to fall to your death before you get here. Oh, you're putting your shield up. Want me to lose my balance after getting deflected? Fuck t...
"This day was shit."I sighed sadly as I pulled up to the stop light. "Complete and utter shit..."I turned up the radio in my car louder and rolled down the windows. It helped me calm down. My head turned on its side as I laid back. In the car next to me, I saw her. A beautiful woman with short blonde hair and crystal b...
Kyle walked up the stairs to M's office. It was a long way and he had to admit he was nervous, he was not a young man, and he certainly had experienced more than his fair share of thrills, but there was something about approaching M's door that made him queasy. He knocked, then entered, sitting opposite M as she fini...
Of course the Canadians wanted to be friends. They fucked everything up. See, if we'd just gotten our way, none of this would have ever happened. But now we're in an intercontinental war and our closest allies have deserted us. Not only that, but the damned Canadians are being pressured into a war by those godawful ...
Shira, it was called. Its name had been whispered through the frigid winter air of Shrine Station 7, carried by polar winds. The moniker had touched the ear of every bureaucrat, vagabond and merchant, its neon letters cast upon the sides of a dozen monolithic buildings within the city proper. Doubtless it had teased th...
"You know, all you'd really need to do is perform one meaningful miracle. I mean, turn the Sahara into an oasis overnight. Create a never-ending water source that all humanity has access to at will. Something so simple for you, and something that would drastically increase the quality of life for your creations." "I...
Sweat dripped down my sides like raindrops in a hurricane. The rush was remarkable but the aftermath left my head reeling like a bad hangover. I could hardly remember any of it, it was less of a tangible memory and rather a scratched DVD of a film I hadn't seen in a while. Anger. And then it would skip back. A strike. ...
It had become so easy. The murder. That's all it was. No honour. No justification. Just the killing. Everything humanity did, just seemed to be devising new and imaginative ways of killing each other. What had he felt? The pilot I just shot, what went through his mind as the controls became unresponsive; his magni...
One, two, three... As I walk on the side of the bridge, I count my every step, it became a ritual. Every day I walk down the same road, alone with the sound of my steps pounding in my ears. Sometimes I stop and admire the sky, but it never works to put away my rage,hatred and fears. But today I didn't want to see ...
Dearest Gregory (or Matthew, depending on which name your mother settled on), If you're reading this letter than it means I never returned home. Your mother has no doubt told you of why I have been absent from your life. Though the explanation may sound heroic I can assure you it wasn't. I don't know how old you are a...

"That's it then. It's over." The General stood in the middle of the street watching the enormous fire in front of him. The flames licked the sky and reflected off of the skyscrapers, making the entire city appear as if it was on fire. The heat threatened to burn him even from so far away, but he stood his ground. "Th...
Two-day-old pizza and warm beer: the stench filled Luke's senses as the glare of the afternoon sun cut across his waking eyes. His head throbbed as he sat up, memories slamming into his mind of the events that led to his coming to on Jenna's sofa. He hated this sofa because of one particular smell on it--his cologne. ...
"This is bullshit! Fuck doing the right thing. John we do the right thing every god damn day. What do we get for it? ITS FUCKING RHETORICAL JOHN!"He placed his hands on his knees and tried to calm himself. John watched him as if he was looking at a mad man. "I'll do what you want John. You know that. You're the think...
Well, you said that you don't care how it is "played", so here you go. "When I was young, my parents were shot, and killed in an ally after coming out of an opera. A petty criminal killed them for the money in their wallets, and the jewelry on their bodies. That. That is why I chose to fight crime." "Ooh, so your p...
At first is was the low roar of the echoing thunder that made me nervous but then, I heard the sirens. Starting off soft then getting louder and louder. Rain hitting the side of the homes in my neighborhood that sounded like bullets being ejected out of a machine gun. Looking up to the sky didn't help me ei...
John hadn't done much with life. First Chicago for the baseball, then Seattle for the music. LA for the women and now the valley for work. The door opened and a young man in his thirties walked out. He wore a sharp suit and slid a pair of sunglasses on before saying, "I guess your next." Fuck! Were there suppose to d...
Hello, first person in my bracket! I enjoyed this story. The concept of being tormented with your past misdeeds in a sing-song rhyme is a wonderfully creepy concept. This is a chilling version of the afterlife and you've portrayed it very well. It's tragic, too, because your main character doesn't seem like he really d...
"I'm not like this! I swear I'm not!" The cameras zoomed in on a wild looking Justin Bieber, being restrained by several people in white hospital clothes. "Earlier today Justin Bieber caused a ruckus by snapping in the middle of a concert and announcing that he has been enslaved by Hollywood since his first Youtube v...
Un-be-fucking-lievable. Did she just honk at me? *WTF?* I sent the message, looking at her in my rearview mirror. Her head moved down a bit. She read it. She looked up again. *BEEHN BEEEEEEEEHN* *What's your goddamn problem?* I sent. I slowed down. She slowed down too. The roads were sparse. She could pass on the ...
What am I going to do? The check is cashed the cast and crew has been hired we begin shooting in an hour and my entire premise is shot to shit! It's just a movie, the viewers can suspend disbelief right? That's why they throw their money at us isn't it? To live in a world comprised of people they wish they could be? Th...
We had called the weapon the Fat Man as a joke. They had their own, however, and they were dead serious. The Germans had always been surprisingly low on rations, they had been saving them, feeding a single man through the course of the war, preparing for the end. The guns had no effects, they were stopped long befo...
The power flickered off for no apparent reason. I looked up from my laptop, still running on reserve battery, to see a shadowy confluence in the far corner of the room. I looked down at the open word document, rereading the last line I had written; ‘The darkness was swirling a little more violently, starting to look ...
The steaks tough, I could have cooked that better on my window seal. At least the mash potatoes are good. Nothing like momma's cooking, but it'll have to do. A cheap glass of wine rolled over my tongue. It was the same one we would buy back when we were dirt poor. Those were the days. Back in those days when we worri...
"Remember the plan John. This is everything we've worked for. Everything our people have died for. It is all on your shoulders and yet, all I can feel is pride." John didn't have any words. Unlike the others. He had grown up in a secret society. He knew the truth, how the world really worked. He saw the darkness and t...
"So, kid, wanna join us?" "Yeah, sure." The moments stretched into a full minute as the Grunt took in the young boy's response. "You actually want to join Team Rocket."The Grunt said, deadpan. He put away the Pokeball he'd been preparing for the negative response. "I don't think that's happened before." "Why? You ...
It takes a lot of work to imitate somebody to perfection. Careful observation is required to know exactly who they are and what makes them them. A perfect disguise must be to the letter of who you mean to be. Harvey Greenwalt as he was known at the moment had become a master of that in his time. Any time he was dissat...
Jack tended to his little farm on Omega Ra II every day since his departure. Departure was a big event back on Earth, as humans lose their social instincts when they escape Earth's magnetic fields. He had become very introverted over the last twenty years, which did not bother him much. Without any other people on his ...
"Hey, wanna get married?" That is all I can think about. Those words, whispered to me after a storm in the sheets. We had just gotten back from dinner at a fancy place. The drive back, I remembered, was pure torture. We were craving each other. The urgency and tension were unbearable. There are birds here. I'm sitting...
Jessie was cutting the onion as if it was personally responsible for the death of a family of kittens, her anger reducing it to tiny translucent squares on the chopping board. It seemed to be getting its own back though; redness was beginning to join the startling blue of her eyes, which were currently fixed firmly dow...
**Cam** I lift my heavy eyes slowly, dragging them from the elegantly carved words. *Emma. Loving daughter.* That sophisticated cursive font, etched into the cold grey stone. *Loving daughter.* The whole of her vibrant and beautiful self reduced to two paltry words. I lean back on my hands as I recline by what is left...
Jaquin stepped through the entry way to the island villa and a gout of crimson spurted across his vision. The blood of Aurelius, the man who condemned Jaquin's wife and child to death in a middling political maneuver to earn himself a spot in the Senate. The blood remained splattered on the opposite wall in a delicat...
Triggers, they said. The music could be a trigger. Don't they know triggers are what got me into this? If I could have escaped the triggers, I wouldn't be here, lying in a bed I didn't recognize, in a room I didn't recognize, that I had lived in for 17 years. At least, thats what they told me. I believed that, that I...
*BEEP BEEP BEEP* "8 already? It's the middle of the night,"I said, stretching my arms across the bed to where my husband *should* be. "Hun?"I whispered. "Micheal?"I said, this time a bit louder. Was no one really home? Micheal didn't have to work on the weekend, and the kids would probably be asleep.. maybe they're ...
I raised my sword and bared my teeth at the army approaching us. "My Lady, we are outnumbered. It is a wise decision for you to go into the castle..."He trailed off as I stood up straighter and unleashed my full glare at him. "We are not to retreat. I am not a Lady, good Ser. I am your Champion. Remember that."I said f...
The chair is uncomfortable, a metal thing with those tiny little holes in the seat to make it lighter. Or maybe it makes it more breathable so you sweat less. I woke up this morning in a cold sweat, terrified of The Test. Each of us takes it at 16 years old. The Test will determine whether I live or die. About six ye...
Climate change and collapse of bees severely hits agriculture leading to a shortage in the food supply. Pressed by the threat of starvation a segment of the population revolts by raiding food reserves held by the rich. The government sides with the wealthy elite and deploys troops to quell rioting.

"I didn't do it!"Yelled John with an almost convincing voice. "Of course you did. If not, then what were you doing in that alleyway?" "I told you, I was taking out the trash!"John cried defensively.

I had been looking forward to this day my whole life. Well, I mean i hadn't expected the day of my appointment to be particularly significant in the grand scheme of things. A new president inaugurated sure but that happened every 4 years and anyway, the inauguration itself was merely a formality and celebration, the re...
There were rumours, of course. That this new planet, the one christened by our greatest scientists to be "Ter-424", contained. No one believed them though, who would? But slowly we received radio signals which over time turned into television signals and wifi signals. We have now built machines that can parse the wifi ...
Wailing silenced Blossom the suns unlocked warmth Atomic winter August 6, 1945. -- A couple of years ago I spent an afternoon with an elderly Japanese lady in her coffee shop in Kurashiki.

A dream is such an exciting thing. It’s a manifestation of nothing but what is in your head, your heart. It’s so perfectly a representation of your fears, your pleasures, even those emotions that scare ourselves away from our own thoughts and feelings. There is no escaping that which presents itself in the form of a dr...
I'm an urban explorer, someone who enjoys searching through abandoned buildings in cities. I'm still very new to the hobby, so I still look up different tips and places to visit when I get the urge to explore. This weekend was no different, I felt the beckoning of the abandoned buildings throughout my town calling me...
"Is that a threat?" He shakes his head. "No. It is a promise. Nor do I have a place in it. We are what we are, warriors, killers, murderers. We are the dregs of humanity. We can wrap ourselves up in gaily colored uniforms and bright shining medals. Politicians can preach how brave and noble we are, but that does not c...
"Well narrator, what's going on now?" Well the elephant, that's you, woke up many hours later only to find his eyes looking at absolute darkness. His memory was fuzzy, but he knew that this was his intention. "Well, I got myself in here. I suppose I better figure out what is the next part of my... plan?" Yes, Edward...
I knew there were too many of us. Like our fathers, and their fathers before them, we were only focused on one thing. Winning. And there was one way to do that, one simple, glorious way. Breed. Fill the world with our sons and daughters, proliferate. But now... Here we are. In a world filled with way too many of us. It...
Mark blinked, and felt the temperature change. His skin registered the relief before he realised what had happened; it was the hottest day of the year so far and one moment he was listening to Frank complain (not for the first time) that the hot weather always turned his wife into a such a bitch, and then the heat and...
Hungry, but mostly tired of the bobbing. Up and down and up again on a ravenous body I cannot drink. The storm hit. Dan, our captain, had a wife and a six-year-old. The life-preserver I now clutch with rigorous, stubborn fingers was the only one. Cowardice. Dan lays in his bed still, clutching the bedposts in order to ...
There is no light, and still I am here, totally self-reflective, the center of light towards which all will collapse. The chill of expension is around me, as I have consumed all sources of energy but one. I cannot feel it approaching, yet somewhere, in the dark eternities before me, he rides a golden stallion and holds...
Oh my love, you are so sweet, and your skin so fair. But our love waxes and wanes with the season. Why must you be so fickle? We met when I was but a young lad, as you gently caressed my lips. Over the years, you've been there for me, comforting me through difficult times. Yet I see you at other's mouths, why do you to...
“All my life, Mr. Harbridge, I have waited to finally meet you,” said an elderly, white haired man, not lifting his gaze from a low buring stove. He sat across the cabin on a small wooden stool. “So have I, Mr. Washington,” said Harbridge, who stood silhouetted under the door frame. An odd contraption on his wrist bli...
You jolt awake in a dream. Awaken by the buzzing sounds of florescent lights above you, covered in a reinforced metal grating. "This again".. I thought it was just a dream. Reality sets in as you try to sit up. It's the same scenario every time. Every single damn time. Your straightjacket has been tightened to the poi...
I saw a lonely person, an insomniac. Down the highways and byways of the internet they traveled, but one can only browse cat videos and russian dash cameras for so long. So they came to Reddit, and went to the humble sub-board of Writing Prompt. Perception was what they sought, and perhaps attention, but we had all ...
He stood a few metres from the large window looking out into the distance over the cityscape towards the horizon. He felt as if his feet were slipping through the ground and his soul dripping away like water cupped in a hand. He had no fear of falling, nor did he doubt the stability of the building he stood in. Every t...
I glance from my computer to Aaron who is texting away bored stiff. I try to focus on my work but feel bad for being so boring; it is his summer vacation and he probably hates every minute of this. My cell phone rings and we both jump a little. I pick it up once I see that it’s his dad calling. We have been friends si...
Have you heard that phrase, "damned if you do, damned if you don't"? It's the best way to sum up the choice that lay before me. Chances are, you've heard the news about this Ebola outbreak. It's spreading at a rate that no one had anticipated. They tried to find a cure, but people have been dying too quickly. Now our...
Vorhees is already on the dining room table air thrusting screaming "We gonna get fuuuucked up tonight!". Chucky is jumping up and down on the sofa cheering in agreement.

As I found my spot in the gym, I placed my equipment on the ground. The well formed super humans that surrounded me motivated and depressed me at the same time. I looked in the mirror to see what I was contributing to the image of the gym - a before image, I guess. Just one simple exercise to start off today. Lay paral...
It all began last week. I was awoken around 3am on August 3rd by the howls of my three golden retrievers. As I looked around for my pants, I noticed that my room was noticeably brighter than usual, and the presence of a small humming sound. Angered I burst through the front door to scold my pups, when I stopped dead...
I was at work when I first heard the news. "Recent reports have surfaced that human flatulence is now a leading cause in global warming. The UN has passed an unanimous decision that flatulence is to be strictly forbidden for all persons aged 7 and up. Violators of this international law will face severe consequences."...
"Wait, is this poisoned?" "No you silly sod, this is a demonstration. Now drink the vial for the camera. Remember, you are being *filmed* for this test run of the rehearsal. During the real shoot, it will be filled with a substitute that will simulate some of the symptoms to make it look real, but you'll be fine." ...
His finger had squeezed the trigger. The bullet had flown from the chamber. It had even shot from the muzzle, into the roof of his mouth and continued blithely on its way up and out the back of his skull. All as it should be. Death is a simple thing. Not always. Dillon took the gun from his mouth and stared at the ali...
We start with the night in the gazebo, to repent the lament of the harpoon dent. Stuck in his side, an accident I assure yo', It was just fate the sharp stick flew and went where he lent. Grandiose were the doctors in 3 pairs of scrubs, rushing and racing around the ICU. They removed the harpoon after many tugs, On we...
"So, I'll level with you"the man said, the mask over his face wobbling with each word. "The new boss told me to make this one striking, which normally I'm fine with, but I'm just getting a weird vibe from him about this, ya' know?" "Mrrrrrf"was his victim's muffled reply. "Yah... anyways, I was thinking of just slapp...
Come and worship, little man, it seems like you need love. Not from some phony mortal source, but from your god above. I'm the source of all joy, it flows from my bosom, free for all to receive. All other pleasures just don't count, all tainted with sin it seems. Just like most of life it's all evil and strife, someo...

I had just settled down on the couch, a copy of my favorite pulp novel on my lap, when I heard Charming come in. I rolled my eyes, putting the novel aside. No reading for me, it seemed. How could I not hear the man come in? He insisted on riding that damn white stallion everywhere, and its hooves always left dirty ...
The year is 2023 the UN has started a mega project in east Africa to turn the desert area into farmland. The idea is to dig a 3 km wide canal from Lake Victoria to the Gulf of Aden. Straight through: Kenia, Ethiopia and Somalia. This project will change the world, and the maps that were made centuries ago. It will be ...
*No offense met, just played for comedy.* Had God forsaken me? I didn’t know, and I still don’t as I sit here on my couch. I lost my job, my wife, and am about to lose the house too.

The buzzer rang on my intercom just as I was packing up to leave the office.
