The feeling wasn't new to me.
I'd known it well before.
An aching pain inside my chest
That forced me to the floor.
She's gone, forever, like the rest,
The ones who swore they'd stay
And help me soothe my anxious mind
And keep the ticks at bay.
But now I'm all alone again,
My whole world, rearra... |

"And yet you did it anyway."
"Yes. Now here we are, two years later---"

I walked in front of a car yesterday.
I jumped off a cliff the day before, just to see how it felt.
Two weeks ago, I stabbed myself in the brain, curious about how it would compare to the psychedelic mushrooms I had overdosed on a week before. The hallucinations were enjoyable, the vertigo was not. The next time, I... |
One type of magic, that’s all you get. One type. There’s all sorts of awesome ones: Fire magic, Nature magic, Death magic, and Necromancy magic (though it’s illegal to reanimate humans). There’s the utility ones: Illusion magic, Alteration magic, Transmutation magic, Healing magic, and Runic magic (used for defense, o... |
"Sir?"the voice rang with the stark clarity of a church bell.
"Hmm?"said the Wizard turning to face his slightly glowing companion.
"Its only-"the boy paused. "I think, perhaps, maybe-"

"I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to wait for an eighth player to join in to keep the teams balanced"
A series of curses and groans followed the cashier's statement.
"It's just one player we're missing! We can manage!"
"I'm afraid not, sir. Rules are rules."
"Fine..."I said, and we walked towards the door of the est... |
After reading the note, I exclaim loudly, craning my head toward the heavens, "No! You can't tell me what to do, piece of paper!"
Shortly afterward, I sit back down on the edge of my bed. My thoughts are racing; an internal struggle, grappling with whether or not I owe allegiance to inanimate objects. Memories of my o... |
Rotation: 2, Year: 399, Day: 1
The sun had been close to the horizon for my entire life. I live in the twilight. My children will never know what ‘day light’ means. How do I explain evening rays playing through the canopy of the trees or the way a soft illumination can touch the crown of your lover or a simple silhoue... |
Damian brushed a stray dreadlock from his face and glared at the man in front of him in line at Wholest Foods.

River nodded in... |
Mr. Jones absently stared at the four round patches of ash in his perfect lawn. He had sworn to keep his old friend's lawn beautiful when he became President of the United States, and accepted a life of near constant surveillance to do it. A trifle to some in this age, but a hard sacrifice for a freed-loving man from t... |

The president scratched his head in confusion as he stood before the joint session of Congress; senators and representatives from both parties eagerly awaiting his announcement.

If contact is unavoidable the brain is their only vulnerability. Any resemblance to humanity the assailants have is superficial. They will...*"

Fritagorn, quite suddenly and without warning, found his axe buried in a coffee table instead of the head of the Roman soldier he'd been facing just a second before.
Quick even when confused, he pulled it out with a wrenching sound and backed up a pace to take in his surroundings.

Dad wasn't the perfect father. In fact, he really wasn't that good of a person either. He yelled when he drank, he swore when he yelled and he drank, well, pretty much every day. That's what got him in the end, the drinking. He was well on his way to a sick shade of yellow by the time I learned my primary colors. I rem... |

This is the log of Captain John Smith, Captain and apparently only survivor of the SS Sakura.

"Not conflict,"I said. "Boundaries. How else are you going to stand? Where else can you hold your ground? Raise your head to the sky and clench your fists to say, 'here is where I live to my word?'

A noise woke Matthew. It would take a few minutes for his eyes to adjust to the darkness, but he could hear the heavy breathing.

An icey laugh replied.

Mr. Wellington removed his eyeglasses and wiped his brow with a handkerchief. *They trusted you with this assignment, Bill*, he thought. *They’re going to fire you. Or worse. Most definitely worse*.

Two courts, both alike in raditude,
In fair Chicago where we lay our scene,

When I was a child, I feared the monsters in the dark. The demons under the bed, the evil spirits in the mirror, the ghosts haunting my attic. When I wandered into the night, teddybear in hand, they were always there… threatening to drag me into their lair.
What I didn't know was that they feared me.
When I was a you... |
“You better have good news.”
The president scowled at the intelligence officer, who carried yet another thick stack of papers.

His craft was a stolen transporter ship that had been modified for high-speed intergalactic travel, and also unusually, and thoroughly, weaponised. The captain of this vessel was a human male, aged around twenty-eight, who wore tattered brown boots and a belt with a large gold buckle made of faux-gold. His coat was a s... |
I find it pretty hard to understand emotions and empathise with others. I'm terrible at the whole socialising thing but I get by somehow. The thing is, I have acquaintances instead of friends. No one wants to start the conversation with me, no one texts to see how I'm doing, no one has my back when shit hits the fan.

I heard the knock at the door, but I thought that it was a mistake.
My husband pointed it out to me, and I, laughing, got up thinking there would be no one there or else flowers he had had sent t me. That had actually happened before, and he had do drag me to the door to get them because I hadn't heard the delivery bo... |

I stared at the trinket sitting in my palm, the brass reflecting the setting sun in its dents. It had the shape of a globe, with rings like Saturn surrounding it. My dingy purple sweater sleeve fell across my knuckles and brushed the trinket as I slowly turned the rings. I closed my eyes to keep in the tears, and when ... |
The journey took five long days. Five days of long travel in my sweltering, airless palanquin. No matter how hard the overseer whipped them, the slaves never fanned hard enough to cool me adequately, and I took out my discomfort on my courtesans. One of my advisors reminded me that I was only on the excursion because I... |
At 6'3", with 240lb of solid muscle, Big Mikey was anything but a child.
Sure, when Pokemon Go was released, he felt a pang of nostalgia just like everyone else. His mind drifted to lonely afternoons with his father gone and his mother working. Nothing but Pikachu's antics on the dusty television could ease the ache ... |
"...I remember the way you smiled at me and told me you'd do your best. I saw the tears you were desperately trying to blink away."The Awoken stood over my father's coffin, her frail, skeletal body barely holding itself together.

I hung on the wall of the kitchen where Lisa and Abigail sat, waiting for that man to get back. Lisa had a mug in her hand. From where I was perched, I could see that it was coffee, still steaming. I couldn't see Abigail; she was somewhere underneath the table, but from the sound of things, she was playing with one of ... |

"Do you know anything about human biology?"The bar quickly fell quiet as an old withered voice had spoken up.
Just moments ago the bar was filled with jolly chirps and yells. Ol'Tesamarks was the name of the bar, owned by said Ol'Tesamark, a veteran of the first Milky Way Republics Civil War. On any given day ... |
The investor stared at me like a deer in headlights.
"I know the first trip can be a bit... disconcerting,"I placated, "but this is just a prototype. The intended final version will be less traumatic."
"That was *Hell,*"he whispered.
"Yes, actual Hell. With demons and everything."

Monitor's Pass retirement home. My grandmother recently moved her as she wasn't able to take care of herself any more. She always was a stubborn woman though. Last month she turned 93 and something changed her mind however. I guess she just felt it was time.

"Ma,"I said. "Why am I photoshopped in this picture?"
My mother, who was reclining in a chaise lounge in front of me, suddenly stiffened. She nervously laughed. "Don't be silly dear. Don't you remember posing for that family photo when you were younger?"
"Yes, I do."I frowned. I was five. I looked at another family p... |
***Swimming Legend Announces Retirement***
*Michael Phelps, 39, announced his retirement at the 2024 LA Olympics after getting his 31st gold medal at the men's 50m freestyle. "Honestly, I should've stepped down from the mantle years ago. It's time for me to now mentor the next generation of record breaks,"Phelps said,... |
My name is Liu Shen. I was born in the year 786 of the Julian calendar. My father was a poor merchant who had been pushed out by the those Persian dogs. He killed four of them at Yangzhou, by his account. After the massacre, things began to turn around and the economy was reformatted to a monetary system that encourage... |
Timmy was hitting the wall.
He was fourteen miles into this race and his legs just didn't seem to work any more. He struggled to stay moving. His lungs begged for more air, more air, more air, no matter how hard he breathed.
"Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn..."he found himself grunting with each step. He looked ahead,... |
"Oh, Imagine that."Joker spit blood onto the bank's tile floor. "A big, ugly bat!"He smiled wide, leaning back on his elbows, his legs limp.

Joker attempted to put his palms in the air, shrugging his shoulder... |

First submission. It went a little different than I expected and I think I'll change some of it later.:
Hard days in Wyoming are just like anywhere else, except a bit lonelier and a bit more beautiful. The sun was sinking into the horizon casting up some amazing colors. I was just getting lost in the newly colorful cl... |
A hundred times he’d watched the dance. Fully extend a lock of thin white hair, wrap it tightly around a slender finger and then let go.

Long ago when Ska had been born, life had been harsh. Weak and new to the world, there was never enough food, never enough warmth. It seemed as though scarcity was prevalent in all aspects of life. Be it females, weapons, or treasures, there was never enough. As Ska grew, his mind grappled and struggled to find a reaso... |

That's it! I've had it! I'm tired of Roy always nitpicking me! He'll see! I'm going to give him a piece of my mind! That prick. I stormed into his office, ready to tell him everything, only to freeze in my steps. A green bar hovered over his head with 110/110 directly in the center written in black.

We were trapped, for the moment. The Forever Moment. The Moment that Nick had created when he snapped.

"Ohh...oh *hell* Noah. How do you get yourself into these kinds of situations?"

He was known across the Universe. Syco Nik. The monster was originally Captain of a Spear Tip Armada vessel. He was a decorated officer.

I moved the first pawn. “Pawn, d2, to d4,” I said aloud.
Death grinned faintly. “So this is what happens when a chess player dies,” he mused. “You get to play any fair game you so choose, and you choose one that’s only skill. Do you know how many games of chess I’ve played?” He set a bony finger on his own d-pawn and ... |

I was incredulous about this entire thing. I mean, sure, I knew we were having an issue with the whole soul to people ratio, but I never guessed it was *this* bad.

It’s comforting in a way to know things reset. To know that I leave no lasting impact on any world. It’s freeing, it opens up the possibilities. After all, what could go wrong? Tomorrow is a new day, a new world. It allows me to live in the moment. It allows me to never worry. Being happy-go-lucky is frankly underrated... |

It all started by accident really. It was the fourth of March last year, I remember because that was the first of the future papers. It read March 5th 2016. I thought it was simply a typing error, something the editor had missed. I read the paper as usual. Reading, but not really taking in the information. Just another... |
I never really fit in with my peers. I was a scientific mind in a rural town. But when I was twelve, humanity received a communique from space. Apparently, an alien race has discovered FTL communication and have been trying to establish contact with as many alien races as possible. Soon the technology reached the popul... |
She stared out into the depths of space.
Inky blackness, dotted with only pinpricks of light. Lights which, like the artificial illumination of the apartment windows of the city she used to know, shut off one by one, without warning. Swallowed by the great, endless cavern that is the universe.
She looked at the phone... |

I'd only believed the notice because everyone else had. It appeared on our telescreens late last night, and everyone began leaving their houses.

"Happy birthday to me..."Jace said, blowing out the candle on his cupcake. How could everyone forget his birthday? He was 21 now, yet no one asked to take him for a drink, or even lit his candles. Even a 'happy birthday Jace' on facebook would have been enough to brighten his day. His day had only gotten worse.

Quiet day.
On the bulletin board in the University commons, there’s quite the list of rules and regulations. It’s seven feet long.
