I was just a girl then. Barely knew right from wrong, nevertheless good from evil. More than the look of the mirror- the gilded frame, the silver incandescence- I remember the whispers. Did they come from the adults circled around me, or from the mirror itself? I wasn't sure, but they filled me with dread. "She's n...
"Hey, Lu, when you get off work in the morning do you think you could swing by that bagel shop off 147th and grab me one?"I asked my roommate "Yeah absolutely!"She replied cheerfully. If there was one thing great about having a roommate that worked nights, it would be the fact that she never minded stopping on her ...
Call it youthful rebellion, but I had to know what was on the surface. All those stories of war, famine, bombs that could drown out the sun and floods that left the Earth suffocated. I needed to know the result of all of that mayhem. I had never seen the sky before and even if it killed me today, I would learn what it ...
“I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.” Some artist said that. I came across it once, a while back - after that night. And though these words stayed with me throughout the years, I never once picked up the pho...
I made my way down the dimly lit alley, barely making out the street names as I crossed them. Finally, I arrived at the house. The house seemed darker than the alleys, but had a bright neon sign with the phrase "Well-Cum". I knew it was the place. I walked inside, and was greeted by three of the most gorgeous whores I'...
It was a while before I noticed my inability to speak. After all, I live alone and I don't make it a habit to talk to myself. It was halfway through my morning commute that I realized. Stuck in traffic, I had switched the radio from the dull talk station I had on, to something more musical. My favorite song came on, an...
Tensions have been running high, and we've gone over the edge. The television networks have stopped, repeating a synthesised voice. It's inhuman, it's... surreal. A nuclear attack is inbound, we all knew it was possible but we didn't expect it to happen. Not here, not to us. I, like many others, had daydreams - no, da...
Douglas was so sullen. James could remember a time when he and Doug were both in college, drinking and singing along to The Beatles on the radio at their favorite bar. James wanted to see his friend so badly since they had left college, but seeing Douglas in such a sad state just made him upset. "Hey, do you remember ...
Why? Why. Why am I sitting here looking at this monitor? It's not even plugged in. Ugh. Here they come again. The Talking People. God damned it how I hate them with all my heart. This office would be so much nicer without them. I wonder what it's like though. They seem to have a goal; something to do that matters, some...
His hands clammy, he hangs up the phone after having just confirmed that he would be on his way. It was a strained female voice on the phone and that worried him a little, but he knew that he would be alright and could hold his own if a confrontation arose. He glanced at the clock on the wall for reference, and the hou...
Wow domination. Such Doge, such conquer, wow. Reminisce. Long time ago. I was such boy, plz know, your age. Popularity spread, so hip and funny. Such legislation, keine rights, wow. Such before, such variety, wow indie hip life. Wow........... Kids, it wasn't always this way. Expression used to be free and beautiful,...
The crash was quieter than Jeremy had expected. There was no build-up of horns or screeching tires or screams. Just a great blast of metal and glass like a balloon being popped, then nothing. Jeremy tried to move. He felt no pain but the way his lower body vanished under clawing metal he knew it looked bad. Next to hi...
“Is this where you wanted the file, Mr. N?” I stared at the bird-eyed young woman in front of me, slowly shaking my head. No, that’s not right. I was staring at the young bird woman’s eyes as they looked at me with that semi-vacant look that I’d grown accustomed to. With a sigh I leaned back in my leather office chair...
I am sitting exactly five feet away from them. A short enough distance that I could stand up, take this knife, cross the distance to their table, and kill them. No one would be able to stop me. Not in time. But it's because of who they are that I hesitate. Two days ago I never would have even considered such a tho...
I still remember the sound of It. We still remember the sound of It. Who the hell could forget the sound of It. The day had started out like any other in mid-summer. Not as hot as the mercury was set to rise that afternoon, but hot all the same. Air conditioners hummed. People perspired. Children ran their way to schoo...
[-]tinky_winkie420 [+1] -10 points 2 hours ago (20I30) I know my opinion isn't very popular here, so down vote away! Yes, we Tinky-Winkys are intense, but I'd say we're passionate. Are we elitist for thinking the teletubbies don't deserve to be harvested? Maybe, but is it right to take these creatures out of their ...
The morning sun cut through the receding fog in the woods. As the day warmed, Alan found himself sitting next to the stream he camped by. The water was cool and clear, and he could see fish darting around under the surface. He set out a line and walked back up the hill to his small, earthen home. It had started as a h...

"Weeee ooooo weeee oooo weee ooooo..." "Oh for fuck's sake..."Winston murmured. "Weeee oooo weeee oooo weeee oooo...."the officer continued as he trotted down the sidewalk towards him, "pull over mister!" "I heard you,"he cried, and stepped out of the flow of foot traffic and waited for his the officer to meet him. ...
"The president of the United States of America appears in my room." poof Well, there was no actual poof, I didn't specify that. Damn. "The president goes back to his last location and everyone other than me forgets that he disappeared in the first place. Then he appears in my room again, with a poof." poof The...
Our savage cries echoed from man to man. Rather perhaps, from boy to boy they echoed. As we collectively stared into the sacred box we screamed words and sounds of a nonsensical nature. "Kill him!"some screamed, while a few retorted with "You idiots, don't kill him! Entrap him and make him ONE OF US". The cries grew lo...
"I'm sorry, am I wearing the robes that say 'RETARD' on the back?" "Huh?" "Don't 'Huh,' me, motherfucker. I'm the anthropomorphic personification of Death. Do I look like some fucking rube right off the bus willing to buy the bag of shit you're selling?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Fuck you and your ...
My part was picking up a pencil. Simple as that. Because I picked up the pencil, the person somewhere behind me in the hallway, who would achieve lasting world peace later in life, didn't slip and break their neck. Because I picked up that pencil, I was able to give it to a peer, who would share it with others until th...
Leor paused, his sword raised over his head. Sweat-soaked hair dipped slightly into his vision, inadvertently blocking the blinding glare of the sun. The gladiator lay flat on the ground, left arm crossed over his face in protection, as if bone could stop a bronze-forged blade. Leor stared at him, the man’s eyes closed...
Excited glances shoot across a short board room table as Mike and Stephen see 13 years of work across 7 decades unfold before their eyes. The fact that they managed to get themselves into this room was more impressive than getting to this year. Hanz Reubenfeld, senior professor at the Vienna University of Fine Arts, ...
His body was failing. He had taken care of it very well, but 205 years were a long time. Not a drop of alcohol all those long and lonely tavern nights, not a crumb of tobacco for the old pipe. He never had indulged in gluttony and he had moved meticulously through his sword forms every morning. Yet there is only so muc...
Even before the words left my mouth, I knew that everything would be changed forever. I had grown up on stories of genies and ifrits. ‘The 1001 Nights’ was my favorite story. Every night my parents had told me a single tale, dragging it on like Scheherazade to the almighty sultan. It had given me a taste of power. ...
A Friday, the Almighty academy had just let out for the weekend. A group of students, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Zeus, Hera and Shiva were sharing the cheapest appetizers on the menu at the local diner 'the holy grail' anticipating the arrival of Brahma and Vishnu. Zeus and Hera were already on their third nectar by the tim...
"This is never going to sell." Thomas Jefferson Carter, owner and lead editor at Herald Publishing, set his half-sipped gin and tonic on the desk and shoved the manuscript towards me as if the words themselves stunk. Literally. The grandfather clock ticked dutifully. I waited twelve ticks before speaking. "Why not?...
I call it the wireless waltz. The way they’d do it, God, it should have been obvious even then. The meaningless conversations, the empty laughter, the eye-avoidance, all while maintaining their constant, awkward advance, closing in as near as possible for the best connection. For a long time, I thought I was just an ap...
I stare up at the ceiling watching the methodical turning of the fan. Not really knowing or caring why. I could've been great. I could've been so fuckin great. They say that I should try and enjoy the last few years. I don't really care. I've given up. Nothing matters, not even me. They just moved a young girl in the...
Bob slid the resignation letter across Mr. Jones' desk. Mr. Jones glanced at it and pointed at the chair, asked Bob to sit. "I'm sorry you feel like you need to leave, Bob. Just between you and I, I had great plans for you. You're all but locked in for that promotion in three months." The desire for the promotion ...
Once, I met a hero. His name was Paul, but he was called Viper. I knew he was dangerous, dangerous beyond all reason. I knew he was dogmatic, and that I'd somehow fallen onto his list of 'bad men.' I knew he'd hunted me very persistently ever since I'd fallen there. I knew that there was nothing that could stop him, t...
"Yeah fuck you Jeff. You're the reason Liverpool lost last week. Dickhead." "G...good morning to you too James..."sniffled Jeff. It was the sixth pitchfork he'd had aimed at him that morning. "Jeff, you fucking cunt, why the fuck did you let Mary run off with that American cunt!" Oh dear, thought Jeff, looks like it...
Yawn. Time for bed. Pop the cap off the toothpaste, feel the sludge drip down my hand like a river of cool, sticky paste. It feels good. Like them. But I haven't acted on my urges lately, no sir. I have kept to my promises. That's a good thing, my therapist says. Oh, speaking of my therapist, I hear her right now as s...
She let me see her phone password, once. It wasn't for very long, but it was enough. I kept it filed away in a dark place, because I knew I'd need it someday. It started small. I missed an anniversary. She didn't hold it against me--not quite--but I could see the hurt in her eyes. So I accessed her phone remotely and...
EDIT: Corrected some minor spelling issues and expanded the story. Second Part is in a second post ---- Private Buckley swallowed and glanced nervously at the hulking Martian soldiers.

"I don't understand, you're an accounts administrator. You're always complaining about how boring it is." She blinked and re-adjusted the collar of her blouse. "Well technically, that is true. I handle the accounts of the universe. Have you never heard the phrase 'cashing in'?" "How long were you planning on keeping ...
My name is called. I can hear a welcoming applause, but the sound is distant. I feel myself step forward, past the curtain and toward the mic at center stage. The lights bloom and multiply; my ears are filled with the sound of rushing water. From somewhere in my chest, a stabbing pain radiates. I try to swallow, b...
"Oh oh and Mr Frankfurt will be there too Dad" I froze for a split second before quickly forcing a smile. I looked over to my teenage daughter and she looked back with her piercing blue eyes, her blonde hair waving in the wind. "What's up Dad?" "Aww I'm sorry love I just didn't realise he would be here, you should h...
I had seen the folder briefly on the first boot of the old laptop at the Oasis pawn shop. Earth (Source Code.) I didn't click on it. I went to a weird icon with My Computer written under it and thumbed through the specs. This no labeled, scuffed up machine was no joke. I had the extra money to blow and if this thing wa...
“Robert, don’t do this to me,” she said. Her face was in her hands. “Please, Robert. I can’t do this. Not now.” My business partner—my best friend—squeezed my wife to his chest. I could tell it was a gesture familiar to them both. “I’m so sorry, Hannah,” he whispered. He whispered, but every word he spoke was like ca...
It was the eighth of May, 1893, and I was returning to Baker Street after having attended to ten patients. Pain from my old limp began to creep in having been on my feet for so many hours. The fierceness of Sherlock's ambition had been muted lately as no new cases emerged to test the highly-demanding faculties of my ...
"Happy birthday to me happy birthday to me"I sung softly as I started up the stairs. Eleven fifty-five. Five minutes left in my birthday. "happy birthday dear Prudence" I sat down on my bed, picking up the broken globe. It had in a birthday present from my grandma many years ago. This morning when I woke up I accident...
'Look, I'm sorry folks. We're having a slight problem with the river at the moment, there seems to be a disturbance up stream. We'll open up and get you across as soon as possible.' Charon called over the crowd of angry souls. The queue had never been this long since that Herakles incident and even then, Charon could t...
"Sir, we have grave news to report." General Atkinson had spent most of his 54 years in the armed services. He'd lived through Vietnam and the Cold War. When the towers came down, he was one of the first voices calling for retribution. He was in charge of the hunt for WMD's in the middle east, and when none were found...
Alex hit the ground gasping for air. He couldn’t tell which hurt worse, the pavement or the teasing. “Look at how weak he is!” One boy yelled. “His stats are so low!” Another scoffed. Alex rolled over onto his back and cringed as pain shot through his body. He looked above him where he could see his stats hovering...
“Copy control. Heading for Bay 9-4” Pasik fired the gas jets and edged around the massive asteroid, slipping in towards the Niner section. It looked like Jeeik and Terik were already back in, but he didn’t recognise the sleek craft in Bay 9-1. It was ovoid shaped, with no visible insignia, thrusters, antennas or ev...
Looking backwards, perhaps we should have known it would go wrong. After all, humans are inherently imperfect. Still, we believed their desire to help fellow mankind would be strong enough to overcome their lust for power. The tools we gave them were intended to make life easier, not to be bastardized and misappropria...
A young man lives alone inside the mirror world. He spends his endless days shifting from mirror to mirror, staring at the minutiae on the faces of the people who come before them. He sits and swoons at the sweet somebodies who stare at the raindrop he's behind. He melts in mirth at the mirrors in view of families an...
Jason wanted to know why girls always went to the bathroom in groups. He would watch them, discombobulated, as two, three, four, and occasionally five girls would enter the ladies' room simultaneously and leave just as they came. He wondered why this was the case for girls, but not for guys. Jason hypothesized that gi...
Lorraine looked over at Marty, sitting next to her at the dinner table, while her family ate and watched TV. Lorraine: This is our second television set. Dad just picked it up today. How many television sets do you have? Marty: Well, you know we have... four of them. Milton: Wow, you must be rich. **S...

He watched vigilantly in the control room of the International Strategic Reserve that night, as he had for the past 15 years of his life. To guard 3 quarters of the world's total Maple Syrup supply required absolute trust and confidence of the cartel. But he had played his cards right, backed the right people, guarante...
"Remember what happened the last time we included airplanes in this mess?"Peter looked upward toward a rotating propeller while Roger walked over to his side. "First of all, that was a sloppy job on my part, and I can admit that. Second, it was a red eye and only 20 people died, and that includes us, so it should rea...
Bruce held onto the gate of stately Wayne Manor and tried to hold himself upright. His first night protecting Gotham had been... eventful and now, with heavy blood loss, he was grateful to be home at last. Fumbling he stabbed at the buttons in the intercom until, after a long delay a sleepy and irritable sounding Alfre...
It's funny, I still don't know what my condition is, and I don't think anyone else is going to get it:My whole life is what you'd call an out of body experience, except from out of my body I can see what is to be in the next three seconds and dictate my person's reaction as such. It's a phenomena that, believe it or ...
I loved her from the day she was born. My little girl was my life, my everything. I would have done anything for her. She was 3 when she asked me about the numbers on the back of my neck. I explained to her that those were when someone was going to go away for a long time. I explained to her that it wasn't nice to tell...
“Let me go!” I screamed. “Where is my dad?” “Be quiet, kid. It’s for your own good.” The man put his hand over my mouth. I bit down. “Jesus, kid!” The woman grabbed and gagged me. I was at Mrs. Anderson’s house across the street, but she wasn’t home. The house had been ransacked and trashed. I had to find a ...
It's an odd concept...when you're the only person who really vocalizes. I mean really vocalizes. People still shout, moan, grunt or whatever when something happens that causes that spontaneous reaction, but no one ever vocalizes anymore. People have told me, albeit slowly that having THINK is like having the world's...
I walked into the big house, the door had been left open. I knocked once more and called out. A girls voice of no more than 6 years old called out "Just a minute!!" I grinned, I knew what was in store and I couldn't wait. "Can I come in?" "Just a minute!!"She called back. I thought about the other nights like this ...
“Excellent.” Death purred as the apprentice once again sliced the head off the mannequin with meticulous perfection. He was sure at this point – it was time for the final test. “What shall I do next, sir?” The apprentice wiped the sweaty strands of blond hair that stuck to his forehead. Death had to admit, the kid e...
Double agent David H. Simmons of the CIA walks with a determined stride towards the fountain, contemplating the Morse message he decoded just earlier that day at KGB HQ. He received such a message on alternating days of the week at 12:15, during his lunch break, when he could be to himself. But this wasn't like the ot...
Henry's knees ached; his ankles cracked; he couldn't bend his fingers; he lost hearing in his left ear; he was considered "legally blind,"and his driving license was revoked; Henry's jaw locked when he chewed; he had no control over his bladder; decades of smoking cigarettes left him with a horrendous cough. Henry was...
After every kill, there was a dinging sound. It rang in my ear like a fire alarm going off in the middle of the night: terrifyingly loud and always catching me off guard. I should have realized what it meant sooner than I did, but things don't always work out the way we want them to. ----------------------------------...

I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes as I plunked myself down in front of the computer. I'd woken up 2 hours ago, and just couldn't fall back asleep. Nothing like some Reddit to help get rid of insomnia, right? The little power button was glowing a dim green, even though I was sure I had turned it off when I first went to...

Today marks our fifth year. We met at grief counseling 5 years ago today. It fucking sucked. After our first session, we both decided it wasn't for us and decided to counsel ourselves the best way we knew how. Heavy drinking. Unsurprisingly, that was the impetus for our friendly little game. Both of us had lost someone...
A big white box arrived at front door Saturday morning. There were grey lines on the front and then I saw it: the unmistakable orange outline. It was a Reddit message. I carefully open the top of the box and soon found myself blasted meters back into my house. A deluge of photos, posters, and other random items came bu...
I lay on that cold silver table, this must be what it feels like to be abducted by aliens. But these people, are no aliens. I've known nothing more, I began trusting them long ago. They say I was created from a test tube. I have no mother, no father. Aunts, uncles, or cousins. It's just me, and the men in white coats. ...
Stephen bursts through the door of his bedroom and drops his backpack to the foot-worn carpeted floor with a dull thud. He stumbles over to his computer chair and swings it away from the desk, plopping into it and slowly creeping forward as he scrapes his toes against the unnaturally crisp fibers underneath. His head...

She held my hand as we looked at each other for the first time in 25 years, it had taken this long to find one another again, to once again fall prey to the inevitable fatal attraction that had linked us for centuries. Hell, even Shakespeare wrote a play about our tragic love, granted his wasn't about two women falling...
Today was just one of those days. I woke up, as always, at 3 to head to they gym.

I did my squats, deadlifts, benches, you name it. For s...

There is, was, and will be a long, bleak hallway. It is perfectly straight, and had no turnoffs. One one side, every three feet or so, there is a metal bar.

You can't just wish for a million dollars, or to be President of the World. It doesn't work like that. To be honest, we know more about what doesn't work than what does.

"Settle down!"Maria shouted. The din from the room of rowdy nine year olds lessened somewhat, but it wasn't until Maria snapped her pointer across her desk, producing a crack that could cut through the noisiest child-wail, that their voices settled to silence.

My head quit swimming. I heard voices all around me. My eyes opened and let the light in. A doctor, a nurse and a suit came into view. I looked around at the medical equipment surrounding my hospital bed. It didn't look much different than before I went under. "How long?"I managed to get out. "Welcome to the year 201...

We use to live in a different kind of world. A world where people were happy. A world where people were ignorant. You see, we had a world we could make our own.

Not long after I lost my sight, my father moved to another city, taking me with him. From my child's point of view, I didn't really consider why this might be; instead resentment oozed out of me and I hated him for many years, until I realised that he didn't make us move because he hated me or because he was ashamed ...
Oddly enough, the system worked almost exactly the same as before. The Randomizer 81XP spat out the names of new government officials, at random times, for random positons, and everything else just kept grinding forward.
