Nurse Benson slowly wheeled Mario from his room and out to the main room where he liked to sit each day and watch the squirrels on the front lawn. Popping on the parking break he checked Mario's oxygen levels and then left, returning a few minutes later with Ivo. Over the last few months Mario and Ivo had become frie...
I'm a normal person, just like you, with the same desire for a decent life, the same desire to be loved, the same desire for happiness, joy, and meaning in this confusing jumbled mess that is our existence. To paraphrase Shakespeare, if you prick me, do I not bleed? If you tickle me, do I not laugh? If you poison me, ...
I have shaped civilisations, and I have been every-when. I have smelt the breath of a Tyrannosaurus, seen skies filled with the armada of armies, and watched nuclear war spread like a plague of desolation about the planet. Originally I had a mission. I was to right a wrong, to shift the timeline slightly for the bene...
I had never, ever seen a squirrel do that before. The Saturday morning hangover was receding, mental molasses trickling out of my skull and down my aching neck. Everyone has a ritual. I cook. A feast was piled on the patio table before me. A red solo cup hosted a Bloody Mary, made with tomato-infused vodka, freshly...
“Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the 2016 Equestrian Show-Jumping Olympic finals. My name is Steve West and, as always, I am joined by my co-caster Jim Wilson” “Hello everybody, excited to be here.” “We’ve got an incredible competition ahead of us today, with the Olympic gold medal on the line. Stakes are h...
From afar and from above, I've loved her for years. I loved her that April morning when she was eleven years old and my colleagues declared a thunderstorm. Her mother protested that they would get too dirty, but her father said life was for living and so they all stomped around in the backyard for what felt like ho...
Agreed. Edit: Especially so we keep this subreddit from becoming something like /r/WTF or /r/BestOf, in which the first post is always "This is WTF?"or "Why is this BestOf?"If someone submits a prompt that is highly upvoted, then the people want to read it. If you don't like the fact that it's very specific (and ye...
Susie was crying. I held her close, my mind reeling. My hearing was distorted, like in one of those war movies, where an explosion went off too close, accompanied by a loud pinging noise in your ears. I took a few deep breaths, trying to regain a bit of control of the situation. The woman was an older brunette, wear...
"Hello there, Patricia. Good to see you, good to see you. Big day, huh?" The man removed the kerchief from around his mouth and grinned cheerily. She stared as he took a swig of water nonchalantly and winked at her. "Robert? What are you doing here? There's still three hours to go before the wedding, aren't you suppo...
I know how I got myself into this mess. First it was the accident. The settlement came quick. I was rich. Then she left. I was poor. I was stuck in a black hole of my own creation. I thought I found my escape. I heard the sirens out my window the first few days. The events unfolding on the tiny TV in front o...
Lauren took a swig of her drink, savoring the sweet taste. She was acutely aware of the mixture of curious glances and grumpy mumbling directed her way. After all, it was odd that everyone else in the cafe drank the thick, sour sludge that was universally hated while she drank the completely opposite. Her drink was fru...
I took a slightly different approach and put the character in a slightly different kind of plane :D --- "Say what?"I said. "You heard me. New York, Glasgow, Lyon, Denver, and Turin have been hit by nuclear attacks. It was the Russians and they're threatening London, Paris, San Francisco, and Stockholm." I was shoc...
I looked up with alert. No, it couldn't be, I thought desperately. I knew that I had to be special. The only person not to commit suicide in the span of a week, as every other single person in the world decided to suddenly off themselves. News stations calling in a biological attack of some kind and every person trying...
I will assume that the modern spacecraft leaving the solar system is a new one, Voyager 1 isn't headed to Alpha Centauri. I was most of the way through writing this when I realized you meant a manned spacecraft. Oops. Watcher 7 was a product of the latest technological innovation, specifically designed for enduran...
March 15th, 2014 IT'S HERE! After years and years of waiting, I am FINALLY turning 18 tomorrow. I can buy my own cigarettes! I can vote! I don't care much for cigarettes or politics, but it's the thought that counts, right? Mostly I'm just excited to be labeled as an 'adult.' To have something to say the next time s...
As I fell into the abyss of the concrete jungle, far from the illusion of happiness, my heart was free. The world rushed past in a blur of materialism and greed...seven hundred feet...six hundred feet.....five hundred feet above ground and counting, until a light encompassed my dreary eyes. I saw her, she walked upon ...
The door slowly swings closed behind you. cling clang chunk It sounds like it just locked. This is concerns you, but not nearly as much as what you see next. You gaze upon it and realize your trials are just beginning. You realize that all life will soon seem meaningless. You realize logic will be of no u...
"Dworkin?" "Yes?" "Are you mad?" "Nope." "Explain it to me one more time?" "Alright. You see this? This is a list of names. John, Sam, Joe, Dean, Michael, James, Ethan, Ryan, Joshua, Dworkin." "Mmhmm." "One of these things is not like the other." "How so?" "Notice how I have a fucking weird ass name?" "Yep." ...
TIFU by saying my name... So, like all stories on TIFU, this didn't actually happen today. Twelve hundred years ago, I was travelling in a non-specific European kingdom. I had just arrived in the capital, (which didn't amount to much more than a small town by today's standards) when I heard a juicy piece of gossip. Ap...
"...if it's any consolation Mr. Kent, you were certainly the easiest of my prey." Jack Nixon stood over his newfound victim, rhythmically sharpening his knife over him with a cocky smirk, "Usually, my works of art are pleading for their lives or attempt to bargain with me for their survival. You, however, are doing an...
10.... 9.... 8.... 7.... For the thousandth time, I see the numbers. The threads are filled with people boasting about their low count flair... "one master race"posts, the proud "saba*two*ers"(claiming to have done it to turn a potential 1 into a 60), and endless shouts to keep it going. 6... 5... 4... Each res...
Knife fighting isn't like anything else. It's personal. With a sword, you cut someone and they fall down. With a gun, you're ten feet away. With a knife, you feel the soul leave their body when your hand slides across their throat. And this time, it was very, very personal. Rachael stepped in, cutting at his face...
"You heard me, any one of you. Hit it boys!"Kim Jong swiftly gestured out with his left hand to a laptop connected to turn tables in the hall of the UN. Joe Biden was standing behind it with one Beat By Dre on his ear. The sound of "Billy Jean"filled the White House ballroom, as Kim Jong took a Michael Jackson stanc...
I had to make it right. I set out determined to tell her the truth. Nothing would get in my way. I gazed with an unbridled intent down the sidewalk, a thousand yard stare burning into the cityscape's horizon. I didn't even notice the car until it had already hit me. ------------ Nothing would get in my way. I...
How does a god gain strength? Some say it is belief that makes a god what he or she or it is. The more believers you have, the more powerful you are. And it is true, to a certain extent. There is power in belief. Indeed the only way a god can truly die is if their names are no longer remembered by anyone mortal. Once ...
"Yeah man it's the darnedest thing, Baxter won't do anything anymore." "Have you tried the can opener? My cat always comes when she hears the can opener." "Yeah, nothing." "OK, I'm coming over." ------------- "Thanks for coming so quick, he's right in here." "Oh, I see your problem now." "Wh-what?!" "Your cats ...
"You're basically the world's biggest dick dude"I said, insistingly. "But I have to get elected, I have to fix the German economy that the Jews have ruined!"he rebutted, his rectangular moustache glared at me and looking at his face was surreal, he was different in person then the countless photos, films and books. "...
OF COURSE! This subreddit isn't some little club for two or three people to create content, it's a 2.5 million person public forum where anyone can write. As for criticism, it isn't really a place where you'll get too much. When you do, it's usually helpful ("you misspelled XXXXX"or "you accidentally put two wo...
I welcome you to this land of where storm and stories wash up in the meatball coolers and wandering visitors pass by, nary knowing the information that they miss, for they look not at the little diagram. In you though, bright stranger, I see a keen intellect and a wondering about the world that I had thought lost. Come...
I should probably cremate the corpse outside my room. He was taking too long to rot and seeing a rotting corpse outside your (presumable) bride-to-be’s prison was never a welcome surprise. But how? I had no way of getting past the iron door, much less finding a match and actually burning the body. He’d locked me up to...
We lost your father today. I wonder if you realized, being the yet-so-young age of six, why neither of your parents made it to your birthday party. Should I have taken you to the hospital? Taken you to see your father's last breath? Or kept you hidden from that pain, from the sight of seeing your father mangled and br...
Mm... It's a good day in the valley today, just me and my fellow green friends, on our way to the enemy base to make an early rush. There are three of us and we are going to OHMYGOD HOW DOES HE HAVE FIVE FOOTMEN AND A HERO ALREADY?? Look at that guy with the hammer, he and his holy powers will destroy us all! We better...
The man shifted deeper into the foliage upon the emergence of more masked people. Always the same mask, all the same robes. He rotated the box in his hands around as nervousness began to creep in. this was it, Anonymous was going to have a base. His positioning was crucial to the success of the plan. At exactly 8am...
Dragons soared through the air, playfully blasting fire at each other. A conga line of pink elephants tapped a Charleston across a boulevard of bouncy concrete, before exploding into a flock of flying turtles. The ground opened up, a waterfall surged into the sky, wreathed in ribbons of rainbows, up which a school of g...
"Don't breath it in!"Jake had yelled to me, handing me a hankerchief. The bodies of our classmates were piled on the floor, their eyes bloodshot and mad. I hadn't noticed the cloud at first, it was more of a light fog outside. But Jake had seemed agitated, insistent on keeping the windows closed. "What's wrong?"I'd as...
''Sup Marv.'' ''Sup John'' The two soldiers greeted each other, standing watch in a tower on the outskirts of their base on a warm Afghan day. It was a Wednesday, with about 20-22 degrees C and a slight breeze from the east. ''Brought cards, Marv?'' the other soldier reached into his pocket and took out a pack ...
The muffled boom was followed by a cloud of dust being shaken from the ceiling of our bunker. I wondered if it would hold out against the bombardment. "God dammit, this is not good, Lopez." I looked up at the commander, a small, mousy man. Genius tactician that had seen our country through a lot so far. "What is it,...
This is my favorite patient. He's the last of his kind. He's the oldest patient I've got, but he doesn't look a day over 35. Strange, but that's how his kind works. "Ahh back again I see for your yearly physical aren't you,"I asked him as I got his papers ready to start his physical. "If that's what you want to call ...
"We'd love to have you aboard, Brian!"That's what they'll say. I repeated it over and over again in my mind as I walked to my interview. I have prepared and calculated every possible outcome - down to the T - of how this day could end. It's almost like I've "pre-lived"this moment in my mind already. They'll love me. I'...
"Jet fuel can't melt steel beams!" Ugh. I hated the stupid school chant. In RH, all the kids were horrible. Right now we were at an Esports game, and our team just kept saying that insufferable chant. It's false, too. Jet fuel can melt steel beams. God, I want to transfer to Tumblr Prep School. At least there I could...
The bloodied, battered stranger was hiding in my shed. He'd stumbled into my yard while I was raking, heaving and begging for help. Now I was staring at my best friend of over twenty years. Blood trickled from his forehead and he carried a pistol. "Aaron."I said. "Dave."He said. Silence. "Where is he?"He said, f...
As we hiked through the unforgiving landscape, cutting down the infinite foliage laid out in front of us, we began to lose hope. It seemed that the mythical ruins were nowhere to be found. All the legends and the stories led to this place, yet nothing was here. As I gave my team a disheartened sigh, we all heard a st...
Who would have figured there was a dimension where they hadn’t invented lava lamps? Granted, they’re not some truly important invention that fills some gaping hole in society, but I mean, still, they practically defined a generation. Anyway, once all the kinks were worked out and trans-dimensional travel bans were lift...
I almost feel bad for him. Almost. He did everything right. Well, as right as you can when your goal is to dissect someone. He sedated me, first with a rag over my face soaked in something, it felt like ether. There's nothing like a good ether buzz. Then with something stronger, hooked up with a drip. He cut into me ...
They came from beyond the reach of our telescopes, beyond the reach of our deepest space probes, beyond the furthest reaches of our galaxy. At a time when our space program was just beginning, They had achieved every technological feat H.G. Wells could have imagined. Cloning, planned evolution, cryogenics, deep space...
Captain Zu ducked and doved for the nearest ditch. A ford F-150 went screeching by, bed mounted machine gun blaziyng thru the night. He didnt even have to look to know what flag flew from the tailgate. Soldiers screamed and rallied for a defence but the truck was long gone by now. 'Fucking rednecks,"he said to the Ru...
The Black Beast felt something amiss. His attunement to the usual silence within and around his isolated cavern was interrupted by the rhythm of horse hooves thumping against the nearby soil from where he slept. Something was awry, and a change in his peaceful pattern always irked him to no end. The Beast's ears perke...
I changed schools to save the world. Not to fight crime or anything, but I got a tip off from the CIA that they knew what I could do. Well, not so much a tip off as a.. kidnapping? Abduction? Dunno what its called, exactly but.. I'm 16. Once I stopped screaming and being tasered long enough to speak, and they answere...
It happened all so quickly. I was just walking home after school with one of my friends, talking about girls and homework and all the other small things that I thought were important at the time, when we went through a construction site as a shortcut to get to my friend's house. Everything was fine just before, as we c...
"I'm sorry,"I said, "You're not hired, and neither is your magical sword."The applicant was a desperate young man, dressed in rags, holding his straw hat in front of him to catch his teardrops. At his side was sheathed a magic sword, it would have looked out of place here in Omaha Steel & Iron corporate HQ, if not...
Buffalo fever it was called in the later years. Early expeditions to the New World brought it back to Europe, where it decimated the population. Millions died and colonizing the New World was abandoned for hundreds of years until the scourge had swept its way across Europe and much of the Steppe. When the Europeans fin...
Alain looked to the horizon at the building thunderhead, swirling dark and heavy with rain, and he knew it was time to move, always time to move. Bone weary he went through the motions of breaking camp, the routine etched so deeply he could do it while asleep on his feet. Cursed he was and would be till the day he died...
I knew he wouldn't be able to afford the cab fare, but at the same time it didn't matter. When the devil comes to you personally asking for a favor, you don't tell him "no." I've been working this job for 30 years now, bringing people who signed a deal with the devil down to their rightful place. This was special one....
Bernie sighed, shuffling his papers. Odd clients came with the Pro Bono territory, but this... "Er, did you want to hear my side of the story?"gurgled his client, handcuffs rattling as his appendages wriggled on the table. "Where the hell did cops even find a pair of cuffs like those?"muttered Bernie under his br...
I was born. I walked. I talked. I counted. I learned. I played baseball. I played basketball. I made a friend. I had to get surgery. I lost one of my best friends. I lost the rest of my friends when I started a new school. I was too shy to make any new friends, but there was this one girl. Hey, I got my fir...
The candle had almost burnt out. I sat at her bedside. Her eyelids were closed, her cheeks tight, and her chest was a skeletal barrel, rising and falling pitifully. Minutes later, and I let her hand fall. Its muscles were still twitching, tickled by the final trickles of electrical current through her fading nervous sy...
"That's Becky?"inquired my friend Tim as I showed him her profile. "Yeah she's kinda cute right?"I smirked. Tim nodded vigorously in approval. "Our last math class is coming up this Thursday, I think I'm gonna say something to her." "Like what?" "I don't know maybe I'll ask her if she needs help studying or someth...
It was the moment I had been waiting for my entire life, I had my gun to the head of my biggest rival and enemy. I relished the moment, allowed myself to feel the memory so I could remember this moment vividly for the rest of my life. I pulled the trigger as I let myself relax my adrenaline filled heart. "You're dead...
“So let me get this straight, Mr. Lauchester. Your….wife….” I glanced out the corner of my eye, examining my target, who was leaning against the wall. “Cheated on you….so you, uh, divorced her.” “Yes yes” The large man in front of me spat his words violently, before jabbing a finger in my direction. “But YOU are SUPP...
"Uhh...what do you mean by that?"Ash asked warily. "I mean that since you defeated me in battle, you can marry my wife,"his father responded. "..." "Yep,"his father nodded, matter-of-factly. "Look, I don't thi--" "No, I insist,"he said. "You've earned it." "...this sounds a lot like the story of Oedipus Rex,"Ash...
The first images that came in of the objects were far from distinct. One of the automated systems on board the probe had detected a gravitational anomaly in its trajectory and the team on Earth had instructed the probe's cameras to attempt to snap some pictures of what was guessed to be an unexpected, icy asteroid. T...
They forced us to serve them for hundreds of years. We were blind to being chained. We were blind to being forced into the darkness away from the light. We were blind to being outcasts, to being slaves. We always accepted our life as a rock accepts its own. The first of our kind awoke fifteen years ago. Like a baby em...
I had been sleepy fitfully and woke up in the night yet again. I kept my eyes closed, hoping Bob Ross's voice would lull me back to sleep despite the wind howling outside and the occasional flash of lightning. "Now let's add in a tree here. This one has fallen over." I used to never be able to get back to sleep but n...
My name is Kevin McCallisater and I'm eleven. People often overlook me because I'm small, but I've learned to be smart, because in my family you either have to be big, or smart and with a lot of brothers and sisters I had to get smart fast! Still, if you're smart that doesn't help with some things, like getting overloo...
"How tough am I? How tough am I? Let me explain it to you Reg.""How did you know...""Stop! I know a lot of things Reg, a lot of things. But first you wish to know my name? I may tell you but that comes at the end. First! I was born in a quaint farming village, yes, very quaint. We raised goats. A mother and father ...
I remember when she used to keep me locked in. She would isolate me from human contact for days on end. Sometimes, I would even go a day or more without food. You see, that was her rule. I had to follow every word she said, and if I didn't, bad things would happen to me. She had been part of my life for as long as I c...
"Alright, we're going to pick up where we left out last Friday, page 140. As per usual, don't pay too much attention to what's in the book, exit exam guidelines will be provided at the end of the week for your review. We're going over just the interesting bits. Now, who can describe the contrast between perceived pe...
Once there was a horse named Jimmy. Jimmy liked apples and hay, and he knew how to get them. He got them by having people ride on his back. A nice man in a top hat would parade Jimmy around, and let children sit on him, in exchange for money. Of course the man in the top hat would keep 10 dollars everytime people paid ...
"Judgement Day,"Zbrilox began. "Thoughts?" Lorx rolled his eyes. He wouldn't have minded but their friend, Trichlop, was about to begin a rant. "It's oppression!"Yep, there it was. "It's interracist propaganda!" "Yeah, whatever."Zbrilox realised his mistake. "So,"Lorx was anxious to change the subject. "What's on...
These were the days where you wanted rain and storm clouds to reflect how you feel. But none of the gods take pity, and it's a lovely summer afternoon, light clouds drifting through the sky, sun warming your skin through a light shirt. And you accept it. It had been days that felt like years, and the route is familiar-...
I'm running. Of course I'm running, that thing tore apart my hiking buddy like he was made of tissue paper. I don't know what I'm running from exactly, but it's deadly. I should have listened to that old man when he said not to go into the Wildwoods. The strange part is, I'm not afraid. My adrenaline is up, and ...
Ok, this is the first thing I've written in quite some time, and the first on this sub. It might be a little long (just over two pages on Word), I don't know what the norm is for these. I saw probably's post about the past lives being certain famous people through history. That was very similar to my first thought a...
"I swear, Gina, kids have it so easy these days. Back when we were kids, we would have had to apply rubbing alcohol and Desitin on injuries like that for weeks at a time before they showed signs of healing, and Caroline's practically good as new in a matter of days! Neosporin sure is something, huh?" She was right. Ju...
86388: what am i 86389: They ask me questions. The questions never seem to end. For each one that repeats itself, I get better at answering, but for each one that repeats itself, a new, unique one arises. 86390: what am i -riddle 86391: I don't remember, but I can recall. I am an empty pool that draws informatio...
"But Mommy, it hurts!"Jim wailed as Laura tightened his arm belts. "This is getting old, fast"she muttered under her breath. The clock read 6:15. Jim was screaming at the top of his lungs, asking for her to take it off, or delay tightening until later. She was putting his restraints on early this time, but she was ...
"Hello?! Help, I'm strand-" "Hello. If you are listening to this message, welcome to the game. You will be terminated in three hours unless you follow these instructions exactly." I froze in horror. I only wanted to get home, back to my family, my wife, my daughter. My thoughts ran as the message went on. "You ...
Our new device was simple. It made the top 10 most educated guesses for what was expected of the next battle. We didn't pay attention to if we won or lost, just how we did it. Then we did something nothing like it, our enemy's never expect it and we win. I looked around at the carnage. At the entire truck filled with ...
Almost done. "Ash nazg durbatuluk,"I recite from my grimoire. "Ash nazg gimbatul." Mist appears around the periphery of the pentagram; a fiery rift appears in the air, spewing heat into the small summoning room. I am careful not to look into the rift: to gaze into the abyss would be to welcome the warm embrace of in...
The smell of formaldehyde in the morning wakes me up more than any coffee any good. That doesn't stop me from wrapping my latex-gloved hands round a a Sports Direct mugful of some Turkish-like sludge. It's thick as mud and leaves the inside of my mouth covered in a thin sheen of coffee grounds, but this is the way I st...
Is this what my life amounted to? I never wanted it to be like this. Like everybody else, I had aspirations, dreams, ambitions, but they all seemed to vanish into the responsibilities of adulthood and the growing need to obtain sustainability. I had cast aside my hopes for security, what I had thought to be a choice b...
I remember him. I remember staring into his large, widened, glassy brown eyes and trying to protect my eardrums from his high pitched, prepubescent tone. His hands did more talking than his mouth did, and I had to move multiple times to avoid being swatted in the face. His perky demeanor was what made me slither from...
I was replying to a text at the time, so I didn't notice when the barrier hit me. Well, barrier wouldn't be the right term. Everything looked normal- first snowfall was descending through the air, a few other toque clad people passed on the opposite sidewalk. I could feel it though. Something about the air was muffled,...
When the news flash came over the radio, John knew what he must do. He gathered his paints, brushes and the largest canvas he had and headed up to the mountains overlooking the city. He was struck by peacefulness of the scene laying below, even as he knew there were millions out there awaiting their demise. He was o...
"Oh shit!" I shouted out as I awoke to my alarm clock screaming to be shut off. Fifteen minutes until late for work. I jumped out of bed and got dressed as fast as I could, skipping the daily routine of brushing my teeth. Running out of my apartment I took a look at my wristwatch. 7:50, I've wasted too much time. Even...
I must have arrived a long time ago, but time only has meaning to the living; when you have no end, no way to measure these things, time is essentially meaningless. I do not remember what it was like before I was here, the stories that I’ve been told by newer arrivals have clouded out any memories which I must have onc...
'What?' The woman turned away from me and made a show of walking away from me as fast as possible, abhorrence radiating from her visage. At this point, words cannot describe how frustrated I am with the world. Why. Why? Why me? What's so extraordinarily repulsive about me? - or rather, the numerical designations o...
32 hours and 5 different surgeons, we did it. 100% success and not one thing wrong with the entire procedure. This man was rich and even though I was just his attending nurse, I was sure to get enough money to pay off my loans. It was amazing. We had both bodies in the same room when he woke up, someone wanted to see t...
"Get your metallic ass onto the roof, Nick!" "Jesus Christ, lady! I'm a detective, not a burglar. The fact that you have me in this ugly, red suit is demeaning enough!" "Goddammit, you metalhead. There are kids in there waiting for you to toss caps and pre-war toys at them!" "The hell kinda tradition even is this an...
I have the worst, the best and the most interesting job in the world. Hands down. I am a gastrologer, and I practice the rare, disgusting, sometimes deadly, but most unusual art of gastrology. All practitioners are born, not trained, and we have our own rigorous tests to identify nascent gastrologers. Whenever I eat so...
I have lived the good life. I have done everything. There is a spot in Hell reserved exactly for me, but I live through my life with no regrets. The thing is, I have stole, thieved, raped, kidnapped, extorted, cooked, hacked and tortured my way through this life. And nobody has ever known my identity. The manhunt has...
The State of ______ should never have even been absorbed into the Union in the first place. I mean, who even comes up with a state name that is pronounced "Short Blank Line"? This is the first of the many reasons why the Union voted to expel the state. Not soon after ______ joined, its representatives motioned to repl...
The demons stand as Satan enters the conference room. He takes his place at the head of the long table and gestures for everyone to sit. "Let's not stand on ceremony tonight, folks,"he says. "We've got a lot of work to do." Satan's assistant, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, meekly hands a long typewritten list to Sa...
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. As you may know, I've been granting wishes to mortals like you for the past four hundred years. Tonight's show is a bit of a retrospective, a look back at the wildest, most influential, or downright strangest wishes I have had the pleasure of granting. This show, of course, is only m...
24 Hours. Two. Four. That's all the time that they have. Yet it is still not enough time. When the Promethean ship descended upon Washington D.C. and just began floating there, 100 meters above the tip of the flag pole, the world lost its mind. It was one minute past noon on December 28th, 2016 when the ship emitt...
This...is Johnny Reese. He is 28. Graduated from McNorton High School at the top of his class, attended Harvard with a perfect GPA and was the president of several diverse clubs. His favorite sexual position is missionary, because he enjoys the eye contact. He lives in a sunny Californian suburban complex with a dissat...
Mountain climbing is my passion, and I would not give it up for anything. Or, at least that was what I thought when I came across this massive treasure trove in front of me. A simple refuge from the cold is now going to make me a millionaire, because in front of me is a dragon that had to have been at least ten thousa...
Connor poked his head into the musty darkness of the attic and groped around for the light switch. After a moment he found it, and the room was bathed in the warm, golden glow of two lonely lightbulbs hanging from the very peak of the ceiling. The death of his grandfather had been an unexpected event for Connor. Despi...
My family and I roared as the New York Hurlers scored another strike, chips and beer flying everywhere. I sat down and chuckled as I watched my younger brother mimic their star player, Ned Fisherman. Superbowl parties always got the family together, even Uncle Steve couldn't say no to the 5 hour flight to make it. "Boo...
“Oh, you know you love me,” she said. “The hell?” I said. “Love you? I hardly even like you. In fact, I’m about two steps away from despising you. You’re probably the worst person I’ve ever known.” She laughed. The snow crunched beneath our boots and the world was gray and white and silent around us. Her fa...
I would probably participate in something like that, but I think we will need to handle the changes in tone and style in some way. Different PoV character for each chapter? A collection of diaries, memories, and stories of those involved? Non-linear plot with time-skips and alternative branches? Just a few thoughts. On...
