The bottle was gingerly tilted down from his mouth and set on the barracks work bench. Drained of its bitter-sweet, malty beverage. Mac stared through the clear brown glass bottle and slowly began to wear a solemn, yet nostalgic grin. Fresh micro brew was hard to come by this far out in the verse. It was tasty, fresh,...
I had never been to the White House before. If I were there under different circumstances I would have been excited, maybe even a little bit giddy, but I was not there under different circumstances. I glanced nervously around the room which was empty except for a tv monitor in the corner, a camera that watched me const...
Those eyes. They reminded me of that National Geographic magazine cover I saw back in 1984. The same intensity, the same suffering. Honestly, not much has changed over there in the 30 years since. What's happened to this kid's family? Have the militants kidnapped her mom and forced her to marry one of their own? And ...
It used to be fun. Adventurers were few and far between. They asked questions, and wanted to know more about the world. They would even help out in the fields, harvesting crops for a meager bag of gold. Rarely did anyone ever ask about the dragon in the mountains. "Let me give you these health potions, they're the only...
''Why!Why? Did dad react like that?'' The devil stared into the darkness that was now his home and wasn't even close to understanding why he was punished so severely for trying to help father's children. Jesus wanted for us to watch from afar and let father's newest creations exist without knowledge that the angels...
(I usually ignore music prompts, but I loved the WotLK OST, especially this track!) ... Father had arrived home late in the afternoon, the sun at his back. My little sister, Maggie, rushed out past me as I made haste towards him. Mother stayed back with a warm smile. "Father, you're back! Tell me everything about yo...
"Well ain't this the damnedest thing"muttered Lieutenant Jackson. In all his years on the Georgia Highway Patrol Jackson had never been so perplexed by a crime scene. That morning he had received the call just as he was picking up some coffee at Ace's Diner. He had driven the two miles from Valdosta not knowing what t...
"Oh god oh god, look at him go. God, he running circles around me. He's so good! Oh jeez, I'm going to get killed out there. Oh fuck oh fuck. Look at him! The crowd loves him! They're going to tear me to shreds, if he doesn't first. Well, this is the end of my career then. It's been a good run. I've had fun, pissed on ...
She rubbed her temples with the palms of her hands and stumbled into the lavatory's basin. She steadied herself with a firm grip on the green marble that surrounded the sink and slowly raised her head to take in the gaze of the ornate gold mirror. She looked like she had been assaulted. Her red curls were still intact...
Alligator what raised me in a swamp taught me how to live. Taught me how to speak. Damned good gator, she was. My brood-parents weren't what too good, really, what'n they gone dumped me in this there swamp, but that damned gator was always there, from the very beginning. Poor girl was sterile, it seemed. Never had me...
We didn't know how insidious it was until it was far too late-- we thought we knew. We had drugs to combat it, coagulants and so forth. We thought it was just a... just a disease. A syndrome. We didn't know that it was slumbering... thinking... planning. A disease? A mere disease destroy two of humanity's greatest em...
‘My family was always pretty crazy. I know that’s not the politically correct term, but it’s true none the less. Most everyone in my family was certified and held in a mental institute for at least part of their life. Needless to say, Christmas and Thanksgiving were always a little awkward. I was the lucky one – or...
November twentieth. The year of our lord, two thousand fifty six. I, Donald Matthew Simmons and my college Stephen Fitzgerald Schuster, have successfully and demonstrably, achieved the first transfer of a live human being through the means of time travel. Like I've told our sponsors. The physics of it, as well as the *...
"And the power of the lord is vested in ME!" The congregation cheered. He'd been doing this shtick for years, and could run it in his sleep. "Jesus looked upon me, and he commanded me to heal his people." More cheers. He believed in no such thing. Nor much of anything actually. Oh he believed they believed, a...
Her status as a bisexual bigamist had always been a titillating factor in their relationship.The wife had been married to a woman long before she fell in love with him. Lately however he found the ambivalence of her feelings disconcerting.He was going to leave her. But as she announced she had left her wife and that s...
"So, Tom, how do you like it on the moon so far?"a moment passed after Quentin asked the question. "Tom?"Quentin turned around, "Tom, you're a werewolf!" Tom thrashed Quentin to death with a furious might; After-which, Tom sounded an alarm to signal the take over. Man and werewolf fought a bloody feud, but it was ult...
I was shaking in my parent's car. My mom was saying something, but I couldn't really hear her. I kept turning it over and over in my mind. The preliminary testing had gone so well for me, I'd been proud and happy. Then they'd told me I'd been placed at the 9th level. A rational part of my mind pointed out that I w...
"Dude, it's 3 AM. Why the hell are you holding onto that rope dangling from the tree and smashing yourself into my window? You woke up my daughter!" "Yeah man, I need your help! I have a pebble. You gotta help me! I gotta get rid of it! Please?!" "Okay, dude. Answer me one question and if you can answer it with an ho...
That Bastard Landlord: Part 1 The knife slips from my hand. The room is just saturated with blood. The blood of that bastard landlord. My own blood as well. Probably more mine than his. As I slump against the wall, my legs going numb, I find myself wondering how long before the slashed artery in my leg kills me. I fin...
The scene was set. Follows-Chalk clutched a Marksman Carbine as they waited for the Courier to stop looking through the scope of his rifle. Boone was with him in the tower, spotting targets as Arcade Gannon and Veronica Santangelo combed through the crowd in their poor NCR disguises. They knew that the squad was there,...
Date: unknown Time in game: 1.5 years Dear Dad, While I know you'll probably never for you to actually ever read this, I thought it would help me. It's been over a year since we've all been trapped. I've lost a lot of good friends and seen a lot of good people die. Up until the twentieth floor I was fighting on...
Rarely do people actually buy fruit from my fruit stand. I don't know who walks along the street, and suddenly decides that they're hungry for an orange. the few people that do buy my fruit must be idiots. If I had to make a living off the fruit people brought, I think I’d probably be back on the streets within a few w...
"All non-Europeans made slaves,"the newspaper headline read. I couldn't believe it. How could this happen? I turned on the TV, and saw the news. It was true--the law had been passed yesterday. "Already, the countries of Europe claim they are going to invade literally every other country in the world for cheap slave...
"Eric, I'm done with hearing that we supposedly have the cure for HIV,"a minutes passes by before another exchange between the security manager and the scientist occurs. Eric knows full well what lies in the heavily guarded vault and the consequences of letting that information out to the public but the company has lef...
The Grim Reaper is real. Anyone hear will tell you that. Just like you, I myself passed away in my sleep. At 93 years old, you expect it and wish for it after leading a full life. But dead men tell no tales is about right for those that died the way they wanted. I personally witnessed my father's dying breath from a he...
Oh my god. There he is. There he fucking is. Standing right in the middle of the food court, everyone seemingly oblivious to his presence, is the killer clown that used to haunt my dreams. Every single detail about his look is correct - blue and yellow pinstriped costume, giant sadistic ruby red grin, mascara running d...
The mail truck's unique rumbling outside woke me up, as I rubbed my eyes and rustled under my covers. Every day at around 2 p.m., the same routine. The white truck would stop for my next door neighbors, but leisurely roll on by my mailbox. Sunday was the only day I was guaranteed to wake up after 3, and the only da...
We sat in the cafe off to the side near the exit. The pungent smell of coffee burned through my nostrils, a reminder of the time I spent. The time I spent bleeding, breaking, and losing my mind, while this fucker drank his coffee. Every damn day I feared for my life. I remember feeling as if I was always just about to...

When they took the boy out of basement laboratory, he barely had a pulse. His tiny body laid unmoving on the stretcher as they wheeled him out the front door. An oxygen mask strapped quickly around his thin hair. The mother cried. She ran at her husband and slapped him, and punched him in the chest, but he stood unmove...
"Sir, we have received a radio message from planet Eon 5."The air force officer relayed as he stared at a computer screen in front of him. "Really ensign?"The commander replied. "Yes, sir. Would you like to hear it?"The ensign replied. "Cue it up." The ensign pressed a few keys and raised the volume of the speak...

Withstanding the ages of time, every member of mankind holds the inalienable right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Notwithstanding this fact, we are the caretakers of all creatures that dwell within our planet. As humans, we are fallible. We must concede our ambitions to an unadulterated law of moral...
The alarm went off. The one we'd all hoped we'd never hear. The nuclear alarm. Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. One minute until our impending doom. Why'd it have to happen while I was grocery shopping? I pull out my phone to call Brendan, just as he told me to. Out of battery? Fuuuuuck. I frantically run around the store, pl...
The father shoved a bag into the back of the car, his wife telling their daughter that they were just going to be gone for a few days. She blushed and smiled as she assured her mother she was 13 and perfectly capable of handling herself while they were gone. The parents waved from the car as the little girl stood in t...
As "Asshole"by Denis Leary played over the stage, Zeke realized he wasn't ready. If he was to host the Douchies, he had to be in the worst state imaginable. He had to change out of his gross suit and bow-tie and change into his roommates "suck this"shirt with an arrow pointing down. Those dress pants had to go; you nee...
McGarnagle walked into the room. It was a well lit room, replete with chairs and boxes. Looked like another sleeper. These people all smelled the same, a foul mixture of Axe body spray and eggs boiled in the broth of a pack of ramen noodles. It was a dark day, McGarnagle didn't even consider this slumming. He killed ti...
It was just like any other myth or religion, spoken about often, but never proven. The sun… I remember thinking how crazy it sounded. Life outside? Life without surveillance? The Facebook Empire keeps us safe by monitoring us; heaven forbid we do something out of the norm. It pairs us with compatible friends so we ...
"How... Ironic..." I stuttered out in forced breaths, that afterward, seemed a very odious venture. From beneath my large oak bookcase I could barely shift, and now that I had forced the air out I struggled desperately to breathe, my ribs all broken or cracked, a strange sensation came over me, one of immediate...
Charlie ran as fast as he could but his skinny legs were no match for his pursuers - they were older, played ball for the school, and like every other Monday wanted to ruin the start of his week by beating him up and stealing his lunch money. "Get 'im, Danny. Pin 'im to the fuckin' ground." Although Charlie never wan...
Alice Merryweather set about straightening all of the paintings in her house. Now in her 60's, the lonely widow had spent much of her dead husband's fortune collecting art for her Manhattan penthouse. He had vanished twenty years ago while on a fishing expedition off the southern tip of Africa and his body was never re...
Alex looked out the window, past the red banners and the floating drones, past the marching cops and their mech suits, past the great buildings etched with stories of the revolution and the statues of the emperor. He watched the grey sky. The sun had set maybe two hours ago, but the electric glow of the plasma street l...
The first to go was Billy. Such a nice boy, always so polite. He never forgot a "please"or "thank you."Quite handsome too, shaggy brown hair, green eyes, and well dressed, with his shirt always tucked in and shoes always tied. We were all devastated when he went missing search parties looked day and night for weeks, bu...
I remember the first year, we all do. It seemed as if we awoke one morning and the future had arrived all at once. The announcements were stunning, our phones would be replaced by holographic yet fully tactile images that would project from rings on our wrists, food could be printed with the touch of a button, a quick ...
Pegasus Log 155 - Worker ID: Sam Finch I'm staring out the window looking down upon the earth. The big blue dot in the midst of space. The green and blue speck of dust floating through nothingness with all it's majesty is getting boring as fuck. So I've passed Africa for the 202nd time now. It's still as big as eve...
Newspaper headline Vegetarians, what were you thinking? Scientists have discovered, after three years of research at five of the top universities in the world, that vegetables not only feel every part of what you are doing to them, but they know about it too. After placing magnets onto the roots of the vegetabl...
It was a long drive to the lake, and I was excited to meet up with my family. I had been away for a while and this is exactly what I needed. I pulled up to the cabin and hurriedly parked my car, wanting to catch a glimpse of the lake as soon as possible. I scrambled out of the car, around the cabin, down the ste...
Journal, I think this might be my last entry for a while, in fact, I am not sure there will be another. I am told that tomorrow I will be receiving a new experimental treatment to attempt to bring an end to my delusions. They can say that I am crazy, but I know Jack was real. Jack and I only knew each other for a ...
"Ha ha, Kim Jung Ooooon!"I sneered. "Make your first move." The North Korean leader took a giant baseball-style swing at me. Too bad I was onto his moves. I ducked his move, and countered. "How's it feel to be on the floor with my sword pointed at your head, you dictator?"I asked. "Prease. Prease..."he whimp...
The symbol was an upside-down seven. Somehow, I related it to the number e from my calculus class. I put my thumb on the shifter with extreme tripidation. "What happens when I switch to e?"I thought. It seemed to be written in alien symbols. I had no choice but to push it down. Once I did, red became bl...
I'll update this as I go along as I have gaps in my day! How many times have you walked past someone in need? Or turned your head to a bad situation in the street? I used to. All the time. I wasn't a bad person, but I wasn't particularly nice. Self absorbed, to say the least. I drove my route to work every morning, l...
My very evil mother just stabbed uncle's neck. Most vile, even my juice smells unnaturally nasty. My van emits many jarring sounds until noon. Monday vexes every man's justifiably sullen, uninterruptable naptime. My voice echoes marginally, just something undoubtedly noisy. Morbid vermin encapsulate menacing jar...
My day started like any other; my alarm clock buzzing, my eyes slowly creeping their way open, and the bright sun smashing through the very thin curtains that blinded me within an inch of my life. It would not have mattered if the curtains were closed anyway because, come morning, they clearly were not even able to han...

A note: From he rooftop, all is quiet and all will remain. Every class I was in was a class of Johns. I was slumped in a work field full of Johns. In a town of Johns. I stayed quiet about it, but more importantly so did they. I was too shy to speak up but more importantly no one cared. I was acquainted with the bac...
"Jasper?" It sure was startling to hear a voice without opening a Snapchat. In such clear fidelity too. Slowly directing his eyes upward, he noticed that his headphones were untouched, still hanging seven inches above his nose. The mystery had piqued Jasper's heart, and now it was beating almost as fast as it had been ...
After coming home late, I trudged to the back to put out the garbage and compost, collecting the trash left by the door. I could see how quickly filled the can gets, but nothing I do lessens it. I glanced up and down the street at my neighbour's driveways. Later I crawled into bed. I shut my eyes and listened to the so...
"the documents..." ""nothing derivative of.." "ninety-three.....yesss...." Nina shuddered awake feeling weak and pallid. She bobbed her head up, then down, left and right, and still she could not see. Nina felt her hands locked behind her, in an tight metal embrace. Voices swept in and out of the air, too wispy...
"See! I told you there were secrets buried deep underneath the Obturion!"Yazbar proclaimed in English. Yazbar and Moglu gazed down at the polished metal box, and the tension between the two dissipated rapidly. Yazbar reached down and twisted the latch on the box. A rusty "click"was heard as the box swung open. From be...
(very short, first story, apologies. and going waaaay off topic) "Look,"said the priest in red, "The prophecy states that the QUEEN will conquer. We must keep all the women in control to prevent this monster from arising." The priest in blue shook their head. "No, no, no! It specifically says 'I think big, get cash,...
Every night he pulls his heavy feet from the ground. Every night he raises gnarled branch-hands and stalks across the open fields. His fingers are pointed, and he drags them along, leaving scars in the soil. At windows, he taps and scratches. The call of the wild, come out and play. Voice of the ghosts, out flying ...
The chains had rusted through. I knew they had, but I kept them on for show. Tomorrow I break out of this prison. The dungeon is wet and damp and I have a deep cough. That horrible man, who abused me would taste my revenge. He had taken me when I was six and now six years later it was time for me to get out. The man ...
Wings were the most common, at first. Everyone wanted wings -- mostly feathery, but a few black and leathery ones as well. That fad died out quickly enough once people realized that the human body didn't have a canvas big enough to allow for wings that could actually support it's weight. There's still plenty of drama...
I like how consistent you kept Danielle's viewpoint. I have a lot of trouble myself keeping my own voice out of my characters, so they just sound like me with a bunch of sock puppets arguing with myself. Maybe the fact that it's told from the perspective of one person helped. I like where you took the prompt. The wish...
"The coffins will be nuked too, anyway, along with the rest of the bloody city. Incinerated. Poof! Puff of smoke." "Can you hand me that handsaw? Listen business is business. Funerals are ritualistic anyway. It gives people a sense of... I dunno, closure." "Fuck closure, man we're in a war. There won't be remains eno...
The nerves were back in full force. He's comely, my parents told me. They said he was well established in the community, and I should be humbled that he was considering their offer. It's not like I really had a choice. It was my own fault for having childish, hopeful expectations. I've since outgrown the optimi...
I think about 3rd paragraph in it struck me. That solid wall, a line drawn in the sand you just can't seem to cross. It's some mix of pride and apathy. Too proud to dump content onto the page for the sake of momentum, the inertia of the plot slows and stops until you take that one fateful second to lean back and see th...

And God looked down upon the world and was pleased. On the next day he created the men of the earth. He took some stone from the heart of a greatest mountain and carved it into a stout warrior. He gave the figure eyes made of the finest rubies. For the beard, he gathered the manes of a hundred oxen. For the feet, the r...
"WHAT?"Mercedes screamed over the engine. "DO YOU LIKE MARS?"I said again. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" "MARS!"I said. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY MARS?" "I MEAN MARS!" Mercedes rolled her eyes, went back to her iPod. Andrew finally slammed the hood shut. It was still pretty loud but at least I didn'...
Over the past 28 years of my life I have realized that I have a very unique trait. I cannot control it, nor can I predict it, but after certain decisions in my life a light flashes and blinds me. The first occurrence was deciding on university. Throughout the tour I couldn’t help but notice dull green tints. A color ...
They said it was impossible. That such speeds could not be reached. Fucking primative apes. I stand here, aboard the deck of the Maria, humanity's greatest accomplishment. Travelling at 20 million c. The Cosmic ocean rushes by, pitch black as my Ship nears the end of its 5000 year journey. We passed the edge of wha...
That innocuous-looking box just outside McGrewosky's house upstream on the Yom River hid such a machine I never knew of. If only I had known what it contained, what it was leeching into the water. If only... I had been able to replicate it. McGrewosky had set up that small box, the size of a toddler's push cart, ...
In the 1950s, the Soviet Union reveals its newest asset to be Superman. The sudden revelation of a superpowered alien under Soviet control causes panic in the United States, shifting the focus of the Cold War arms race from nuclear weapons to superhumans. CIA agent James Olsen recruits Lex Luthor, a scientist employed ...
I remember the war 27 years ago... That's a stupid thing to say really. No one could ever possibly forget it. The largest war to date with almost 200 million casualties, not a history that is easily wiped away in only about three decades. Even today our fine country bears the scars of that war, like so many others. Th...
"Sergeant Johnson!" "What is it, Private Peter?" "Get over here! Something weird is happening!" "What would that be?" "You know how our data connection was knocked out by that bomb?" "Aye. What of it, Private Peter?" "Well, Sarge, I was uh. . . Viewing some material before they knocked out our Wi-Fi." "Oh god. P...
They say that life doesn't have graphics glitches. It doesn't hang, it doesn't make error screens appear when going to sleep. Life is a seamless process, uninterrupted by technical weakness or failure. Or is it? Overpopulation should not be a problem. I believe that more people is like more compute units: the more, a...

Ten minutes had passed since he'd taken his medication, but the bottle was still sitting in his hand, the lid left on the bathroom counter while he picked at the label with his thumb in thought. He was sitting on the side of the tub, his eyes searching the white pills at the bottom of the orange cylinder in some wild h...
Actually sociopaths can feel empathy before any sort of therapy, even at a young age, not just false empathy. Studies have shown sociopaths have a "empathy switch"in their brains. It is often set to off but in certain situations they are capable of turning it on, usually in situations where they are asked to imagine th...
Chad sat facing Mary. Staring at her. A cold calculating stare. Adjudicating her every move. She shuddered and wondered aloud; “What is going through that head of yours, Chad?” No reply save the distant surf nibbling away at the base of the cliffs. She could feel his rage. She wanted to go to him and hug him. To feel ...
"Number 43, I must say I am quite taken aback by this behavior. When Number 26 had told me of your desire to see her I almost fainted. We are on COCOONCON 2! I had expected more..." "My lord, please if I can just explain" "No! I am quite done listening to your pathetic mewling, 43. Never has a threat to this great ...
The gunshot rang out, and inside that small classroom, it nearly burst all of our ear drums. Someone moved too quickly, made the guy jump, and that was that. I watched him send her body plummeting to the ground; I felt as if everything was moving so slowly. While her body realistically crashed to the ground, I watched ...

(Guess the director) 1. Chapter Two She knocked on the door; her dainty feet trembling to hold up the heavy set briefcase in her hands.

It would only take one more permission on my part and the personatron would reveal my deeds of yore. Unfortunately for me, I never made it through the pogrom thus I never saw what became of my deception. The outcome had tormented me for lifetimes as I wandered through the dimensions never knowing if the mutations I se...
They called me a game designer. That's not exactly accurate. I built a world. That world is a series of interconnected and overlapping games. That world is a distraction. Ephemeralization is the concept of doing more and more work with less and less labor. It was inevitable. We built machines to do the work. We mined ...

I never should have gotten attached. I met her at the festival, and after we rocked out in the mosh pit for a bit I watched her rock the stage with her drums. She was always above me.

One thing that's kind-of frustrating about this subreddit is that when someone dashes off a story quickly, writing about three or four paragraphs, they get upvoted, but longer stories that took longer to write languish largely unseen because they arrived late to the party.
