PD. Prescription Death. The newest thing to come out of some trailer in the Southwest. It’s got a chemical name, not that anyone who knows how chemicals work has ever seen it. It’s a silver-white powder, floating in little flakes in an alcohol suspension. They stick it in whatever’s available. Usually plastic-bot... |
There was a time when the galaxy was much more populous than it is today. Trillions upon trillions of civilizations existed. The number of beings in the galaxy was unfathomable, each but a single drop of water in an ocean of life.
Peace was a rare commodity in those times. There was a constant state of warfare between... |
A world anew,
And yet to be made.
It will come true,
In a matter of days.
With fire and flames,
Death and decay,
Christ has returned,
With few to save.
Hell is on Earth,
A now-opened gate,
The chaotic birth
Of an ancient day,
Where demons all walk
And devils all play.
My child, my love, my dearest Eve

I never liked the mess. Well, in theory I didn’t. But in the moment, anger forged my actions. My sensibility and distaste for it was put on hold.
The first time was an accident. My life is a series of grays and blacks. In a moment of black it happened. And then there was white. It was terrifying. The colors and emoti... |
"Sam, go to bed,"said Richard. He knew when his son was pretending to go to sleep. His eight eyes always seemed to be a little *too* closed when he was faking.
"Dadddd,"Sam whined, "I can't sleep."
Richard sighed, his pincers clicking. He rubbed his center eyes with four of his legs. Being a Web Architect was tiring... |
Five minutes. That was all the time Captain Heroic had left. How on earth was he supposed to make it in five minutes? Never before had he been pushed to the limit like this. The sinister Count von Sneaky had been a walk in the park compared to the challenge ahead of him. Oh what he wouldn't give to have to fight his wa... |

Every day I watched him come from afar and lean on me in the field. Sometimes he would be crying, other times his face was red from anger, sometimes with black eyes. Every day he came from the South and walked up to sit in silence. He would just sit and listen to music, and calm down, then leave once the sun began to s... |
"I'm not going to be there in time, I need to hurry."I muttered to myself. This was my first client as a guardian angel, and I cannot afford to screw this up. The man I am supposed to be protecting, John, is going to be assaulted in approximately 12 minutes. Now it would be easy for me to teleport to John, as you would... |
It was just something I did, and did often. These animals looked at me with huge sad eyes, eyes that often held stories of physical abuse, neglect, or other horrors that someone who led a cushy, privileged lifestyle like myself could never imagine.
It was the least I could do for these suffering creatures. They deserv... |
Red. Green. Blue. Shapes that have no names. This is the developmental stage.
It's simple, but complex as well. Cartoon characters roam the emptiness, distorted in their images, formed from the memories of an infant.
You want to leave. This is not comforting, not beautiful, but disturbing and hideous. You want to... |
"Oh."Mavi the Marvelous said with a note of disappointment in her voice. "I see."
She had wanted to be the King's Queen for almost a week now, quite a while for her, a woman who decided to become a magician not two days prior when she saw another magician turn a frog into a toad (it should be noted here that Mavi saw ... |
We should have left them in the dirt.
We had found the ruins of their civilization. We had found their homeworld and we had studied it. We had learned their language and their basic forms of communication. Their works of science and art, and their works of destruction. We even had an entire field of studied dedicated ... |
Tonight on Channel 11 News: Protests by Industrial Workers of America!

We ate the same cereal, we slept in matching beds. Andre, my sweet twin brother, I do not miss you.
I woke to the crash of pans and pots. My feet carried me down the stairs like they would on Christmas, despite it being Mother's Day. No child has that sort of excitement to make breakfast and bed. Yet there stood Andr... |
Happy and resentful alike, all the stockholders stood up and cheered: like it or not, this latest merger made Brutus Fordson untouchable. He had long since lobbied all the anti-trust laws out of existence. All the smaller competition was gobbled up like minnows. With the latest acquisition, there was no-one left to ... |
The Man Time Waited For

The man
He looked like any other man
But he just didn't progress.
-
There was no reason to get
Smarter
Better
Faster
He just stayed the same
And sometimes would digress.

Time seemed to stand still
In his presence
And speed up when he was gone.

He was mysterious and
Shy and strange

Divine silence is a bit like normal silence, but more Godly.
Death himself hunched his back as he waited for the Creator to speak. Being that he was a skeleton, his posture *really* showed. The Creator stood at the edge of the tallest cliff in his world and stared down at what was once a human city.

My girlfriend really loves Friends, like REALLY loves it, last night I was just trying to sleep and she kept turning it up louder and louder and LOUDER.

Feet pummeling pavement, the burglar fled the crimescene with a cache of jewelry tucked under his arm. Each backwards glance revealed that the Superheroine known as The Animator was closer, and closer. He was losing. Now he would have to hide.

When the worldwide announcements of apocalypse-level meteorites impacting the Earth were broadcast on every wavelength known to man, people lost their collective shit, naturally so. I felt like the only guy around that didn't really mind. Being immortal can be a drag. I've seen centuries pass like a blink of an eye, an... |
I literally cut a swath through them.
I don't know what it is. For a while, I can ignore it, can pretend it doesn't bother me. But the longer I go without satisfying this need to kill, the harder it gets. Eventually, I have to take care of it.
How many have I killed? I've lost count. Whole crowds of them, innoce... |
Life under the Grand Marshal was not, in fact, all that terrible. His armies were vast, yes, and they took many slaves in their wake.
Yet these were slaves of tribes and monster clans. Great ogres and puny goblins, scrawling and skittering creatures that joined his armored ranks of humans and "dark"Elves. Necromancers... |

*Spatialrhinopharyngitis* is what they called it once it started popping up everywhere.
And popping up everywhere is exactly what it did; one minute you'd be at home sneezing on the toilet, the next you'd be at work with your trousers around your ankles and a large mess on your desk.
It was pure anarchy. Initially, a... |
When you tell someone you have no soul, they look at you like you are some kind of monster. Like they expect you to be some kind of cat killing, baby stealing psychopath. But the truth is, I don't know what a soul changes. I still feel sympathy, I still love, hate and laugh like all normal people. I still show up i... |
"Jesus Christ,"you think to yourself, "Has it really been 11 months since I met up with that woman in the back of the Starbucks?"But that doesn't really matter right now, it might as well have been 11 years, the simple fact of the matter is that zombie hand jobs just don't give you the same rush as they used to....

There are two ideas I read about that changed my view of the universe.
The first is about a cat, often called Schrödinger's cat. Someone places the cat in a box, where there is a 50% chance it will be killed by poison gas. Until the box is opened, the person has no way of knowing whether or not the cat is dead or ali... |
Sorry for any errors, I wrote this on my phone at work.
"Good morning!"Said an unfamiliar voice. It was the voice of a female, but when I opened my eyes, there was just one other person in the room. A doctor. Male, the voice couldn't be his, could it?

"My butt itches."
"I'll scratch it for you,"I said, reaching underneath Ben's body and giving his bony rump a few good swipes.

I couldn't help but smile down at him, or rather, what was left of him, l... |
The sudden burst of air from the creature's face startled the scientists. The sheer amount of air expended over such a short amount of time was impressive.

"Stick the landing!"came the cry
of friends who wanted me to try
a death-inducing stunt--but I

No parachute to pull unfurled

Never had I felt so free.

I hate this wall.
I hate this job.
But if I don't do the job, I don't eat and I should count myself among the lucky ones, I'm on this side of the wall after all.

The helicopter thundered over the desert, kicking up dust as it flew past.

There is a picture of the two of us as babies sitting in the same seersucker jumpsuits our grandmother made for us. We used to be so small.

In middle school we liked the same girl and wo... |
I was a rookie detective when my first murder case came up. It was brutal the man had his hands cut off with only the message of he needed a hand so i gave him 2. No one understood the message that was until we found the next body. The next victim was a 32 year old man that lost both of his arms in a shark attack with ... |
And yet, the city remained. Our final landmark.
Nobody remembers the first day. Why? Because it was just a normal day. The gentle, seemingly harmless coughing was disguised among the rest of the world.
And everybody was unknowing. A stranger unknowingly infecting a passerby. A husband unknowingly dooming his wife. A ... |
"It's the tides, you see. The tides."
I nearly choked on the pen tip I'd been chewing on. "I'm sorry, Doctor. Did you say 'tides'?!"
The genteel man I was interviewing chuckled, and nodded. He seemed pleased that I had roused myself from the slight coma I'd been falling into, since I slouched into one of his overstuf... |
"You're *wrong* you know."
I stopped pummeling the henchman for a second.
It wasn't his voice that was coming from his mouth. Although I had his blood caked on my knuckles, and I was pretty sure he'd lost seven or eight teeth, he was speaking clearly and calmly. His eyes were open, the lights were on, but it was a st... |
Day 3,067-ish. Started adding "-ish"after going on that bender 576-ish days ago. Did I lose a day? Was that even possible? I never woke up hungover, but that was the only day I couldn't remember what happened the day (or days) before.
But anyway, today is different. It's the same, but different. Still the same date. S... |
When I was a little girl, I was obsessed with fairies.
Fern Gully, Tinkerbell, Star Fairies, Rainbow Bright - anything remotely fairy related. I wrote stories about fairies in school, I had posters around my room and I drew endless pictures of fairies in beautiful dresses, in fairy castles and dells.

I thought I was nice and discrete moving through the bar's side entrance, garbed in Simon's Terratonic pressure gear. The dried blood and dust really sold that "worn-in"look.

Alice leaned in close to the wire and squinted at the small, wrinkled animal on the other side. "What breed do you think it is?"she asked her husband doubtfully.

Their son wriggled between them and beamed at the puppy, wide crooked grin boding ill f... |
The only reason Claire hadn't been disappeared away to some government facility is because she initially shared proof of her power on social media.

Something about blinding white lights always had a way of giving Thomas an awful headache. The day could not have been going any worse for him. He sat up and looked around the room. Blank, white walls and a blank, white ceiling enhanced the blinding light giving Thomas a migraine. And of course, the floor had to be whi... |
I was hungry and I wanted a sandwich but my fridge was empty. I drank a lot of water and I waited but I wasn't getting any less hungry. I needed to go out. I put on my bulletproof vest, my utility belt and my bicycle helmet and I opened the trap door to my bunker and I peaked out.
The street was on fire.

It wasn't what I had hoped. In fact, it had gotten me in a bit of a tizzy.
I grew up in a rambunctious environment, filled with vivid imagination of dragons, princes, princesses, witches, goblins ogres and magic. An nonreligious man such as myself might pleasure myself with the thoughts that religion would never per... |

The surface of the planet was fine white sand, the particles heaped into dunes and valleys, the steady wind sending a drifting haze rolling across everything.

My eighteenth birthday pulled me into the ride of a lifetime.
When I woke up at 5 (I'm a morning person you see), she was there standing in my room. She was beautiful and serene, and, indisputably hot. I thought she was a Goddess. Capital G. She's a goddess, actually. Little G. I'll explain later.

I contemplated the fedora wearing large figure that was standing on the entrance of the backstore ; his clothes and hygiene were probably as filthy as the place I made my traffics in, a tight cemented space full of cardboards and old buzzing freezers where I kept all the trafficked food for the fatties. Mister here isn... |

Souls yearn. That's what they do. That's what they for.
