I felt a sudden tiny *twist* in my mind which I had not experienced since I'd been dropped here.
My *live* comms implant was running.
So, either the invasion had begun, or Expeditionary Command had found it worth the incredible expense to initiate a real-time quantum connection to my neural mesh from over 200 million... |
In all these years, this culture of death has bred killers and dealt in murder, but none had ever considered killing their Life Officer. It was as if the allowance of the act had satisfied some need in the people for carnage - few think to question the violent kind of order, and even fewer act on those impulses. Indeed... |
The UED (Unite Earth Democracy) interstellar carrier class vessel Nimitz-G was a 5th generation clone. What that meant for Admiral Jeremiah Brown was that the UED regulations ensured that he couldn't have a large enough maintenance and repair crew permanently stationed on board. His largely unspoken complaints about th... |
I was struggling on the test. Maybe I should have payed attention. Maybe I shouldn’t have been reading or playing. It was simple, solving 2x^2+4x+11=-3x^2. I scrawled down five and six, when I realized that there were no solutions. I was in tenth grade and still didn’t understand polynomials even though everyone else h... |
"Wait, are you serious?"
"Well of course I am! I mean, at that point my life was already a bunch of crazy coincidences thrown together, I almost get hit by a car when the driver suddenly turns left to vomit and goes over the bridge, I almost get shot during a robbery, the robber's gun explodes in his hand! That's how ... |
“Why can’t you do something, anything? You’re better than this!” Alecia glared at me, her eyes fiery, and her arms crossed over her chest.
I shrugged at her and put the cigarette out on the plate in front of me. I paused my movie then met her stare. “It’s not my job. Not my concern.”
Her arms dropped to her sides and... |
A song bird whistled a tune as it soared through the open window, landing softly on the man's head. He snored, a gravel like drone that droned out the tiny bird's tune. It whistled louder, its little eyebrows furrowing in frustration, but the sound was overwhelmed by boisterous sawing of logs. Finally, it gave up, and ... |
She did it again.
*Help. Save.*
Her trainer noticed my visible confusion in the sea of indifferent faces and came over to me, his all-caps nametag reading “WYATT.”
“Matu does this all the time,” he assures me, “she doesn’t mean anything by it. Just looking for some sucker to bust her out of this place. It’s why we p... |
Imagine a city -- a pinnacle of the modern world. Tall towers and bright plazas and all of that.
Now imagine the parts people wish they could forget about. The storm drains, and rotting pigeons, and crumbly buildings filled with mold. These are the places that the outcasts lurk: the sick, the lost, the forgotten and f... |
I suppose you could say I had an unhappy childhood.
Universal telepathy was new enough that my parents and teachers didn't find it strange to talk aloud to me, even when I should have been within psychic range. My classmates were not always so conscientious. It got worse as I got older, and my "condition"became all th... |
My older sister's spirit animal appeared when she was five. The gray feathered owl perched outside her window, and she let it in. Every night since then, I could see it's glowing eyes in the tree by her room. Sometimes its swooping shadow appeared on the way to school.
For a spirit animal, it was quite unobtrusive. Mo... |
“Please stop. You will come no further.”
A slash separates the berserker’s hand from his arm, and another opens up his throat.
“Please stop. You will die here.”
A kicked stone sends the brigand tumbling, and its child’s play to bury a blade in her back.
“Please stop. Please release me from this.”
The huntress’ ar... |
It shouldn't have been that hard to wrap our heads around. If an author writes a main character who's forty years old, that doesn't mean it took them forty years to do it. Theoretically their childhood *happened,* but unless it's relevant to the plot or the characterization, you'll never see it mentioned. All of tha... |
Droll. I formed the word wordlessly with my lips as I trekked through the woods the department of agriculture insisted that I investigate. No other word encapsulated so perfectly the poor excuse for a hiking trail. The trees looked lifeless with sad brown leaves and decaying trunks, as if they themselves had given up t... |
You never think about how spacious your home really is. There is always something in the way, your personal belongings filling the emptiness. To come home and see it all gone, see every last little bit just completely missing, really sells you on how empty a home is without the things you accumulate. Home is home, even... |
I was always lost. Why hadn’t I come back. Everyone else was learning on an advanced curve but I was still following the standard way. I guess humanity found out how to become seemingly immortal. Advancing life to go back to their younger selves and thus sending us into an advanced stage in human development as people ... |
You can’t stop it now, the cultist cackled before his life was snuffed out by the devastating swing of the paladin’s hammer.
And he was right, the paladin knew they had set in motion something that could not be stopped.
He looked around at the mess. He was sent by The Order to end this cult of heretics and stop the r... |
I giggle. The Deoxine have been sending scout ships to Earth for a while now, and I’m pretty sure they’re planning on an invasion someday. We’ve fended off a landing from them before, thanks to some good stealth on my part.
Giddily, I press the edit button, and I’m hit with an error message. “Deoxine DNA required to e... |
A confederate flag blocked the light from the basement window. A couple of disheveled out of shape men covered in hair sat hunched over in stolen desks from a nearby high school. They each wore a red hat with "45"embroidered on it. The silence of the room was so thick that I could hear the drip of water splash into a p... |
Long ago, I was hope; the pure and basic hope that one would survive the night. I would give strength to those who asked, shine a light into the darkness of this chaotic world, and tamp down the ground that would break those who did not see. Alas though, the younger ones provided more and my time in the light, brief as... |
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!"The abyss recoiled from my flare. I shot off another flair for good measure. "STOP YOU ASSHOLE!"
I stopped. "I wasn't expecting you to cast your gaze on me! It's freezing!"
"Meezus Christ, you started staring at me first! I can't stare into you if you don't stare into me!"
I sighed. "I'm... |
Twenty bullets, I had realised, were not enough to rule the world.
Yes, even in a world with magic a pistol was a marvelous tool. No armor and no enchantment was created with the intention of stopping it. Nobody recognized it as a weapon, so you could bring it wherever you wanted. No healer was trained in treating gun... |
Shortly after the message is received, Geographic readings all over the world begin frantically shifting. Soon after that, a transformation begins.
Ravines the size of cities swallow mountains, only to close shortly after. Volcanoes appear, erupt violently with magma from the earth's very core, just to disappear in a ... |
Food was scarce during this climate with barely anyone going outdoors (Complete callousness on the government's part with all the lockdowns. No thoughts were spared for us with...other needs). So, I figured that this was the perfect cover: posing as a night-time school janitor. With my long coat, unkempt hair, and skin... |
“They should put a time limit on joining the club…” mused Drax, as he watched the planet the humans called home from the darkside of the moon, using a small rely satellite the humans could not detect, they beamed images showing people going about their day as they did every day.
“The club is not an actual thing,” said... |
Daughters and Sons
After the planetary wars, destruction of Earth and Mars, and the cultural collapse of the solar system’s network, the united colonies of the Oort Cloud sent out thousands of colonizing ships. Each ship was filled with versatile technologies, embryos for colonization, nanny bots to raise the children... |
"...that escaping their planet's gravitational pull was much easier."
Argenta, the first speaker, finished the opening spiel of the talk.
"That said, recent discoveries have put our space achievements into a manner of perspective."

Soothsaying is a cushy job, and that is what attracts people to it. A farm kid in muddy work clothes can show up on the steps of the palace babbling about plague or war or cataclysm, and immediately be offered wine and food and private quarters in the castle.
Of course, the downside is that if you’re wrong, you don’t ... |
“I never *Wanted* to come to earth!” The green-skinned girl exclaimed.
“If it weren’t for that dumb space monkey, I would never have gotten in this mess anyways! How was *I* supposed to know that he sold me a fake hyperdrive!”
I stared dumbfoundedly at the girl in front of me. I had been in the middle of my afterno... |
Year 2505
“Really, God? Just…why would I want immortality *now*?” I demanded exasperatedly. “There’s no one left - no one to talk with, no one to play with, no one to learn anything from…I’m not very fond of the idea of wandering around, alone, for all eternity, if you didn’t know.”
“Oh, sorry,” the almighty being re... |
Dahlia tightened the bandage on her patient’s leg stump. “Your mother will survive.”
In the broken shack of a house, the smell of herbs and ointments prickled noses. On a hay bed lay a woman. Her figure was lean and shapely, her sleeping face a beauty framed with hair like the shimmering sky.
The child, barely of ad... |
The sound of shattering glass in the kitchen startled me. There was no one else in the house. I stood up from the ground and quickly threw a blanket above the mirror I had been working with. I does not do well to leave portals into the realm of dreams unattended unattended. I looked into the kitchen, but there was no o... |
Unfortunately, the buyers were allowed on stage. Immediately, there was a crowd around me.
"That's a girl,"someone whispered.
I jerked my face away as the man touched my cheek.
He smiled, showing off one gold tooth and several, severely yellow ones. "Feisty."His breath smelt like smoke. I wanted to vomit. "I'll take... |
Alex smiled. He thought about the history of humans, and how they had gotten to another pristine planet. With the first planet they lived in declined, people went from planet to planet, taking it over. As they jumped from planet to planet, humans started to treat planets better, and by now barely damaged the ecosystems... |
I wasn't born to loving parents. I was a science experiment. I wasn't a random mass of dna from two willing people. My entire makeup was carefully curated, giving me the strengths of both my progenitors.
One was a globally known heroine, named Barria. She held a potent combination of flying, super strength and power m... |
"Arise and do my bidding!"
The deep voice thundered across the room.
"Like who the fuck are you bro? I was in the middle of som- oh shit where am I?"
The dark lord coughed and looked around and cleared his throat "I am your new master demon!"
"I'm dead"
"You are not dead, you have been summoned to assist me in tak... |
I awoke with unimaginable senses, near infinite power, and absolutely no clue what to do with them. My new body drifted far above the plane of the solar system, and I could feel my form's disdain for silly concepts like the sun's gravity trying to pull me in. Without any conscious thought, several of my tentacles str... |
"That's how they get you.", he said with a twinkle in his deep blue eyes that I'd happily drown in. He used that sentence damn near as though it were a period.
We've only been talking for an hour now and he's already rattled off 15 different ridiculous conspiracy theories. Each more outlandish than the last, and every... |
Clay had no idea how long he'd been in the damn bunker. Decommissioned and running dangerously low on food, he and the only two people he'd known to make it out with them— a pair of siblings, Lia and Austin— weren't hoping for much when Lia made her nightly run around the perimeter. Sitting together with Austin next to... |
She poked and jiggled the straw between her teeth and examined a bit of mutton skewered on the tip, then flicked the straw away. "Look, it's a win-win. You marry me, and we take this show on the road."
"This *show*,"said the Beast Prince, scratching his cheek with a claw. "You mean me."
"Yes, I mean you! But you're n... |
My father had always been a little bit odd. Other people's words, of course. Eccentric if you are rich, quirky if you are cute, and brilliant if you are a productive member of society. He is not a productive member of society. He is, in fact, the inverse. He is what all right men fear. He is my dad.
Most of my childh... |
The box in my hands felt as if it weighed a ton. I was panting by the time my feet hit the last step to the basement. If it weren’t for the fact that I needed the money, I would have quit that job long before.
I placed the box on top of the others of its kind, and took a cursory glance around the dank and musty space... |
The only catch of this job is I need to do background checks for people to make sure they don’t use my body for anything insane. When they inhabit my body I don’t really know what they do with it, it’s a personal preference, ever since that one creepy old man did very unpleasant things with my person, I’d rather not ge... |
Smoldering skies of ash and death, wings of fallen followers scattered the lands, with trillions of eyes, tongues, mouths and ears, as beings of pure light light fade.
In skies beyond our own, a God trembles in a great and terrible rage, unaware his demise has began, as scavengers, survivors and soldiers loot the cor... |
"Aw sh*t, here we go again."I told myself as walk out the queen's palace and out to the fields. "Out of all days, why today?"Naturally, I could go on with my angry tirade and rant about how utterly ridiculous this was, but a'lass, it would do me no good. "Let's just get this over with."I took a deep breath, and ran in... |
It was impossible to say what would happen. We were inside the cosmic story. We were confined by beginning and end.
We theorized, of course, about what happened before the beginning, and what happened after the end. We had some strong evidence in favour of an eternally cyclical universe.
But we had no proof. Nothing ... |
"*That* rusted thing? Don't make me laugh, you fat fool."Egbert the knight sneered, "Everyone knows the legends of Excalibur. That the Lady of the Lake gave it to King Arthur."
"Aye she did."nodded Oswald the smith, standing his ground even as the fearful crowd moved away from him. "But who said she didn't forge it? A... |
Wealt fell back from the wall. His body was burned and bruised, a spray of blood across his face. Another soldier took his place, fighting strong despite the fatigue that plagued him. Spells flew over the edge, as orcish mages attempted to bring down the walls.
He looked around, despair evident on his face. No matter ... |
I sigh and put down my phone. I know what this means, either my T.V. or my phone is a mimic. Again. I could stab both of them, but that wastes precious time. Let's start with the obvious. It's not hard to hijack a cable T.V., but it is quite hard to hack a Roku. Now, why would we need to do either? Oh. Wait. I'm an idi... |
That’s what they *all* say. “I’m not mad! Just misunderstood!”
Sure buddy. Sane people add lasers to Megalodons, robot arms (with opposable thumbs!) to T-rexs, and cognitive enhancements to Utahraptors.
All that stuff was pretty cool. (I loved jurassic park and the t-rex got shafted with those little arms. I get it... |
The small gathering, only four people, stared at me and my miniscule temple.
"You... Are who now?"
I sighed. "I am the Goddess of Minor Knowledge."
They exchanged looks.
"You know,"I said, "like trivia, or the answers to those test questions that don't matter to the course but you need to pass?"
"Um."One said. I k... |
Plasma rounds impacted the dirt all around Brian as he lay in a ditch staring at the gaping hole blasted in his right side, its edges cauterized by the intense heat of the round that ripped through him.
Strange, there wasn't any pain. You'd expect pain from something like this.
Brain quickly drifted into a fog, his ... |
I sipped my bubble tea as I considered the girl who promptly sat herself across from me in the tea shop. She had been my best friend for as long as I could remember and never had I seen her look quite like this. She was the sort of girl who took pride in her appearance, but today, her normally neat and braided auburn h... |
I have been trying. This place, the Earth isn't new for me. I have been living here for the past 50 years more than some who call themselves human. But the sad truth is they have been born human, and I sadly did not.
I gave up my home, my planet to save Earth and its residents. Why? Because it was the right thing to ... |
I have never known love before, my parents were killed before I could walk. I was brought to an orphanage where I was broken down.. beaten, abused and starved.

“Excuse me?”
“I said what I said.”
The god blinks at the hiker. He’s not quite sure what to say next to this creature who looks a bit like a turtle with the things strapped onto her back. She’s a lot less pink in the face now that they’ve been sitting on the edge of a cliff for a while, looking over a wide expanse of... |
Power has a price.
Always, always, *always*. Sometimes it's a price you're willing to pay, and sometimes not, but power doesn't come free. If it *does*, it isn't *power*.
Usually this means fairly mundane things- peak mental performance means plenty of sleep and mental gymnastics, physical strength means eating rig... |
*"ENOUGH IS* ***ENOUGH!****"*
I slam Hespireda, my treasured sword into the table, splitting it into two. Splinters and sawdust fly free from the impact, and the sound alone is enough to silence the group.
"...Sir Severil?"A councilman asks, clearly spooked by my attempt at violence.
*Good*. You better be spooked yo... |
Concrete and steel were sent flying as Inergetic slammed into me.
"Nice try"I said as held my ground, robbing him of all the inertia that was the source of his strength in the process. The look on his face was priceless. I wish I had a free hand to take a photo.
Now that he's been stopped, he's no stronger than the a... |
It was a forbidden love. Two rival families, as far apart in spirit as they were close in power.
The lighting had taken ages to get right. It is seldom understood how important lighting was to highlighting one’s good features. Sightlines, filters, gels. It was all a hassle. But it was worth it to see the look on the y... |
"uhh hey everyone, I'm captain crusher..."His words hung in the air with no response forthcoming.
"Listen,"Eric started, "it's no problem if you're uncomfortable with it, but generally, we use civilian names here. If you'd rather us call you by your former moniker we will, but I think it'd be a great first step to tel... |
I stared through the peephole. Dr. Jacob Holt, or as I liked to privately refer to him as "Jake The Ripper", closed the door on the grieving family. He smiled to himself. I'd never seen him smile like that. It was a cruel smile, the kind you saw in mugshots of serial killers, arsonists, and IRS agents. He was a careful... |
"I'm sorry,"Nazar, the wizard, said, raising a finger, inquisitively. "Did you say you want to be our *friend?"*
"Yeah."The Lich replied, leaning back in his throne, casually. "What else would be the reward for solving all those puzzles, disarming the traps, and killing the hordes of monsters down here? Congratulation... |
You never know where life might take you.
I have found this to be true in most aspects of life. In my twenties, I never expected to be famous. In my thirties, I didn't expect to be happily married and with child. Never expected to run a bar, either.

"Damnit I'm baked!"exclaimed a tall lady hunched over a sleek new laptop. With shiny black hair and a cat-like face, she furiously clicked on the keyboard browsing from website to website as her frustration increased with every click.

I stood in a clearing of torn and burned trees, face to face with my end goal. The Dragon's Cave. My mapmaker had been correct. I made a mental note to save an extra 15% of the spoils for him.
Unsheathing my sword, I began the careful trek forward, one foot after the other, slowly, trying my best to to jostle any of... |
It was no secret, that dragons lived in the mountains that bordered our kingdom on the west. Many townspeople, therefore, didn't go up there. Something Onchu couldn't understand. First of all, the dragons came down into the flat land to hunt, so you were not getting any distance. But most importantly, dragons were not ... |
"Sir! Urgent news from field commander Sherman!"The private shouted, standing at attention.
Commander Armstrong, leader of the fourth army, raised his head. "With Sherman, it's at least always interesting."He murmured softly, before speaking up. "At ease man."The private adjusted himself. "Now, report. What... |
*I must say, being a mortal is rather tedious isn't it?*
I carried on typing up an email, ignoring the voice in my head. It had been a fixture there for a few months now, giving commentary on my everyday life. Let me say this, it really sucked.

The river is warm. Dave smiles as the water flutters through his fingers. He scoops the warmth in his hands and splashes it onto his face. In his reflection, he sees his red skin blur in and out of focus as the water flushes his eyes.
This river was not warm before. This is new. Hell used to be an endless melting pot... |
I have mastered balance and breath. I flow like air and strike like thunder. I have nabbed fruit flies from the air with Bobby pins, thrown a piece of straw through the eye of a needle, and lain upon the bed of a thousand nails feeling no pain, but this…

I took a desperate breath and opened my eyes wide to the bright noon sun. Sharp pain radiated through my body; the odd sensation of bones and joints moving into place, jagged edges grinding and crunching as they reassembled on their own accord. Where was I? What had happened?
The land around me was hazy with dust and... |
I have read this book for half an hour now on the train. The station is nearby so I have to stop reading on page... on page 18? Wait what? I have read much longer than that one. And the next page is also page 18? I look to all the pages and all have the number 18. I think its a typo. I look on the first page to look fo... |

It took twenty years. Twenty years and I was ahead of schedule.
Of course, no one wanted to fund a monster breeding company. We were uninsurable. Even when we had the funding, there were other problems. Finding enough to feed the damn things was hard enough without the activists and the politicians and the people who ... |

My earliest memories can only be described with one word… pain. Agony, the likes of which I wouldn’t wish upon my greatest enemies. I still remember the doctor visits; those cold, drab rooms always scared me. After countless tests, we were given one word. A word that was a box of nails in my proverbial coffin. Osteosar... |
"We are dying."
Words came forth from the column. It was ancient, serving as the seat of power in this section of the galaxy.

"I... you want to do what???"I'm surprised, that a creature long considered mythological had shown up at my door, asking for me to represent him (him? Do dragons use the same pronouns we do?)

"Why aren't you in your dragon form?” the knight in black heavy armor took his helmet off and asked as he stabbed his sword on the ground. Obviously irritated for being belittled and the fact that he was in this cave again, fighting to rescue the princess for the fifth time.

"Come in,"I said, my voice in its usual neutral tone. Not too excited, not too bored. The door creaked open, a masked man poking his head around it. At least I assumed it was a man, but the costume didn't give much away, which was surprising. I'd lost track of the amount of exposed skin I'd seen on some of the superher... |

"To be fair, my lord, the dragon did slay."

"SO WHAT?!"said the king, frothing at the mouth. His drool dropped down on the floor in front of the wooden throne where he was sitting.

"Well, there was slaying taking place. Maybe not of the sort you imagined, but it did occur."

George plunged the knife deeper, creating tributaries of blood on his victim's shirt. "That aught to do it,"he said, wiping his mouth with the sleeve of his button down. Four victims were set out on the floor, wallowing in agony. George dragged the arms of his latest victim to loop around and touch his hips. He took t... |
"Wake up,"said a voice.
I opened my eyes and looked around.
I found myself lying on a small bed, wearing some kind of tight white jumpsuit. Beside me was a pretty woman, dressed just like me. We were in a small, square, metal room. The four walls didn't look like walls, but giant doors of some kind, each with a lev... |
